In the second month after her honeymoon, when Cheng Qicai's period, which was usually very punctual, was three days late, she had a premonition.
When she bought a pregnancy test at the pharmacy and tested it in the bathroom, the two red lines confirmed her suspicions.
Cheng Qicai wasn't surprised that she got pregnant, because they hadn't used any special contraception since they got married. Given how often Gu Rongqi wore the condom, it was normal for her to get pregnant.
She stroked her flat belly, still finding it hard to believe there was a tiny life inside.
When Gu Rongqi returned, he saw Cheng Qicai standing at the door to greet him. He smiled and kissed her on both cheeks. "Why were you standing at the door waiting for me today?"
"Guess?" Cheng Qicai gave him a sly smile.
"Hmm..." Gu Rongqi pondered, "A surprise?"
"Binggo, you guessed right!" Cheng Qicai raised her hand high behind her back. Before Gu Rongqi could see clearly, Cheng Qicai said mischievously, "Balala Energy - Transform."
She raised her hand and placed it in front of Gu Rongqi, her palm open, revealing the white pregnancy test.
Upon seeing what was in Cheng Qicai's palm, Gu Rongqi's pupils constricted, and he stared intently at the two lines on the pregnancy test.
"Is this surprise big enough?"
After a long while, Gu Rongqi finally found his voice, "Loud enough."
Cheng Qicai picked up her test report from the side and said, "Look, it's been five weeks already."
Why didn't you invite me to come along?
"I don't think pregnancy tests are always accurate. If a hospital test comes back negative, wouldn't all our anxiety be for nothing?"
“You should have asked me to come along.” Gu Rongqi rarely disapproved of Cheng Qicai’s behavior. “Don’t hide things like this from me, I’ll worry.”
"What's there to worry about..." Gu Rongqi's gaze was slightly oppressive, and her voice gradually softened.
"Dr. He will come over in a little while to give you another check-up."
Knowing she couldn't refuse, Cheng Qicai gave a faint "oh".
She didn't have any unusual symptoms during her pregnancy, except that her appetite became extremely good and she wanted to eat everything. If she weren't still rational, she would want to taste the saltiness of every pot and pan.
Therefore, Gu Rongqi hired someone to monitor her diet. The milk tea and spicy snacks she wanted to drink could only be obtained secretly, like a spy.
Sometimes, when he was happily eating and got caught, Gu Rongqi wouldn't say anything, he would just eat the food she bought right in front of her with a blank expression.
Over the course of several months, nothing happened to her due to overeating; in fact, Gu Rongqi gained some weight.
When it comes to diet, she felt that Gu Rongqi was even more anxious than she was. If the test results were even slightly worse, her diet would be strictly monitored.
The timing of applying and taking the medicine was more precise than she could remember; trying to fool him was harder than climbing to heaven.
After October, this prison-like period finally ended after she gave birth, and Cheng Qicai finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Rongqi followed her example in postpartum recovery; she had just finished exercising and recovered, and Gu Rongqi had just returned to his original weight.
Their daughter's name is Gu Xinyue, and Gu Rongqi dotes on her immensely. He diligently studied childcare during her pregnancy. After she was born, he personally took care of her whenever he had a day off.
Gu Xinyue's personality is very similar to Gu Rongqi's—calm and gentle—but she also has Cheng Qicai's sweet talk and optimism. Her appearance is also similar to Gu Rongqi's, except that she has big eyes like Cheng Qicai.
Both the Gu and Cheng families liked her very much, especially Gu Lubai. Gu Xinyue loved squirrels, so he even found a place for her in City A and built a squirrel park for her.
That day, Cheng Qicai clipped one of Gu Xinyue's little buns together with a small clip. She held up a mirror for Gu Xinyue to see, "Okay, Yueyue, do you think it looks good?"
“It looks beautiful. Mom’s hair is the most beautiful.” Gu Xinyue looked at her with wide eyes.
"Oh, Mommy's little darling, Mommy loves you the most." Cheng Qi's heart melted, and she cupped her chubby face and kissed her again and again.
“But you told your father yesterday that he is the one you love the most.”
"That's just a lie to your dad. You're the one I love the most," Cheng Qicai said, feigning seriousness. "Don't tell your dad."
"Dad!" Seeing Gu Rongqi appear behind Cheng Qicai, Gu Xinyue immediately ran towards him.
Gu Rongqi picked her up and asked deliberately, "What were you talking about with Mommy?"
"Mom says she loves me and Dad the most." Gu Xinyue hugged Gu Rongqi with her little arms and looked at Cheng Qicai. "Right, Mom?"
Hearing her tactful reply, Cheng Qicai smiled and nuzzled her nose, "Yes, if you do this, I won't want to leave."
Wu Jieyu chose a school in City A when she took the doctoral entrance exam last year, and the two idiots were able to reunite.
Whenever they have time, they get together to play. Today is also the time they agreed to meet.
"Mom, if you don't go see Aunt Wu, she will be sad."
"Sweetie, you're so considerate." After praising him, Cheng Qicai checked the time. "It's getting late, so I'll be going now. Yueyue, stay home and play with Daddy."
