Several women were chatting in the living room downstairs when Rong Shi hurriedly came downstairs. He sat down next to Gu Chu and asked her about her well-being, which surprised the other women.
When was the last time I saw Rong Shi show such thoughtfulness and care to anyone?
Seeing his transformation, the group exchanged glances, each understanding the other's thoughts.
City C
Lu Beichuan had just arrived at Gangwan Villa to find Su Wan when a sudden phone call took him away.
The call was from the Lu family in Kyoto. Although Su Wan didn't know what had happened, she could easily guess from Lu Beichuan's expression after receiving the call that something important had occurred. Otherwise, he wouldn't have rushed over and left so hastily without even sitting down.
After Lu Beichuan left, Su Wan also received a phone call from Wu Yanran. Wu Yanran had been calling Su Wan almost every day for the past two days, mainly to denounce Gao Shenghua and his family.
On New Year's Eve, Gao Shenghua was taken to the county public security bureau. Based on Wu Yanran's accusation, Gao Shenghua's behavior constituted domestic violence. Due to the special circumstances, Gao Shenghua was temporarily warned by the police and is awaiting the results of Wu Yanran's injury assessment before submitting the case to the court. As a result, Gao Shenghua's parents cursed Wu Yanran at home every day.
Wu Yanran said happily, "Girl, I have good news for you. I'll be going back to see you in a few days."
Su Wan smiled and said, "Okay, I'll prepare your favorite food and wait for you."
For some reason, Wu Yanran recalled the scene of Rong Shi carrying her away from the Gao family. The man's embrace was warm and made her feel safe.
She asked instinctively, "Is Gu Chu here?"
Su Wan truthfully replied, "Chu Chu went home with her brother-in-law."
"Brother-in-law? You call me that so naturally, little girl." Wu Yanran's smile faded.
Su Wan said proudly, "Of course, my brother-in-law is my family, and he's such a good person. I'm still living in his house."
Su Wan highly approves of Rong Shi. She thinks he is upright, has a strong sense of justice, is responsible, is a soldier, and is a chosen one with a powerful background. She thinks Rong Shi and Gu Chu are a perfect match.
Wu Yanran recalled the scene where Rong Shi kicked Gao Shenghua to the ground and asked curiously, "Is your brother-in-law a policeman?"
Su Wan said, "No, he's a soldier."
Wu Yanran then asked, "What does his family do?"
Su Wan suddenly realized something was wrong, "Girl, are you checking my household registration?"
Wu Yanran realized she might have talked too much and quickly explained, "No, I was just curious. Chu Chu is my friend, is it wrong for me to show concern?"
Considering the Rong family's background, Su Wan ultimately didn't dare to tell the truth. After all, such a family background would be a fatal attraction for any woman. Although Su Wan felt that Wu Yanran wouldn't covet Gu Chu's man, she was just being cautious and said, "His family is in JC province, and they are all civil servants."
Upon hearing this, Wu Yanran smiled and said, "That's pretty good, a secure job."
"That's right, my brother-in-law is a chosen one!" Su Wan couldn't help but praise Rong Shi again.
Wu Yanran was shocked: "What! He's also a chosen one?"
Seeing her daughter's shocked expression, Wu's mother couldn't help but feel curious.
Wu Yanran and her family had known for a long time what the words "Child of Destiny" meant, but they also understood that the Child of Destiny was something that could not be sought after and was even more precious than blue amber.
Seeing her surprise, Su Wan asked in confusion, "Hmm, didn't I tell you before?"
Wu Yanran: "No!"
Su Wan suddenly realized: "Oh, it's true what they say, pregnancy makes you stupid for three years."
Wu Yanran was shocked again: "What! You're pregnant!"
Wu's mother was shocked by her daughter's words again. She subconsciously looked at her daughter's stomach, fearing that her daughter was also pregnant.
"You didn't know? Oh dear, how could I forget to tell you again?" Su Wan said, annoyed.
Wu Yanran asked, "Is the child Shen Baiyan's?"
Su Wan replied without hesitation, "No."
Wu Yanran was shocked: "No!"
Su Wan said, "It belongs to me alone."
Wu Yanran understood, breathed a sigh of relief, and laughed, "Hahaha, you scared me to death! I thought you cheated on me!"
"How many months along are you? Is it a boy or a girl?"
"In just over four months, it was either a girl or a boy, both of them are my children."
"Congratulations! I'm going to be an aunt!"
··········
The two chatted for a while before hanging up.
From his elevated position on the terrace, Shen Baiyan looked down at Su Wan, who was stroking her belly with a blissful expression on her face, on the second-floor balcony of the neighboring villa. A smile involuntarily crept onto his face, but a hint of worry flickered in his eyes.
He didn't know what he could do to get Su Wan to forgive him. He never imagined that his momentary anger would drive him to this point. He dared not appear in front of Su Wan rashly, for fear of affecting her mood.
Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed into his mind.
On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Rong Shi and Gu Chu returned to City C. After settling Gu Chu in, Rong Shi hurriedly returned to the training base in City A.
The Lantern Festival arrived in the blink of an eye.
Wu Yanran was delayed because of her divorce from Gao Shenghua, and the day she returned happened to be the Lantern Festival.
The three reunited, and Wu Yanran's injuries had almost healed.
Wu Yanran's injury assessment led to Gao Shenghua's imprisonment. He was ultimately sentenced to three years in prison and fined 50,000 yuan for the serious offense of illegally assaulting and imprisoning another person.
On the eighteenth day of the first lunar month, Su Wan went to the hospital for a prenatal checkup accompanied by Gu Chu and Wu Yanran, with Shen Baiyan secretly following behind.
Upon entering the hospital, Wu Yanran began vomiting incessantly.
Gu Chu suspected that she was pregnant, and after examination, it was confirmed that she was more than a month pregnant.
Wu Yanran broke down in tears.
