Having agreed to go to Huo Ge's house the next day, the three of them got up early and headed to Huo Ge's house. Ye Lichuan was very careful along the way, and kept the car very slow, which even aroused the dissatisfaction of the driver behind them.
Despite the constant urging from behind, Ye Lichuan maintained his own speed, ignoring the car behind him. Gu Anran gently nudged his arm, signaling him to drive faster, but ended up having her hand grabbed instead.
"Stop messing around, I'm driving, don't bother me."
Gu Anran clenched her teeth and pinched him hard. Ye Lichuan gasped in pain but still let her pinch him.
When the car arrived at Huo Ge's house, she had just gotten out when he helped her up. Jia Yunxin was standing alone at the door. When she saw her, she immediately came up to her, wanting to apologize again for what happened yesterday.
"It's alright, where's Xiao Mu?" Gu Anran smiled and patted her hand before unconsciously touching her belly again.
“I had his dad take him.”
The two walked inside while talking, with Ye Lichuan following closely behind Gu Anran, keeping a close eye on their surroundings to prevent any accidents.
Upon entering the living room, Gu Anran, unaware of the water stains, slipped and fell. Her eyes widened suddenly, and all color drained from her face.
"Mom! Anran!" Gu Xiaotian's face was also full of fear, and he quickly ran over to help her.
Ye Lichuan stepped forward and supported her from behind, "Are you alright? Was the baby frightened?"
Gu Anran was covered in cold sweat and panting heavily. She couldn't imagine what would have happened if he hadn't been there. How could she have been so careless and almost put the baby in danger?
As she was helped to sit on the sofa, her hands were still trembling and her heart was pounding. Ye Lichuan and Gu Xiaotian, who were standing next to her, also looked solemn.
Jia Yunxin was also startled and immediately scolded the maid. The maid kept apologizing and quickly wiped the water stains off the table. She wanted to fire her directly, but Gu Anran stopped her.
"Be more careful next time, or you won't be able to afford the consequences if something happens." If Jia Yunxin steps on the water, then you won't be so lucky.
The maid kept apologizing until Jia Yunxin waved her away before she quickly left, and Gu Anran's heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
Hogo, who was comforting the child in the room, also came out to check on the situation. Still worried, he called the family doctor. After checking and confirming that everything was alright, he let the doctor leave. Before leaving, the doctor said, "Although everything is fine this time, you still need to be careful. After all, having children isn't easy."
Gu Anran touched her belly and thanked the doctor, completely unaware of the surprised yet joyful expressions on the faces of the two people beside her.
"Anran, are you... pregnant?" Jia Yunxin asked cautiously.
Reminded by her words, Gu Anran realized she had forgotten to tell them. "Yes, it's been two months already." She smiled, surrounded by an aura of maternal love.
"No wonder the doctor said..." Jia Yunxin held her hand and asked again if she felt unwell. The scene just now still made her heart pound. Fortunately, she was alright. If something had happened, she would have no face to face her again.
"Don't worry, I'm fine. It's not your fault there are water stains on the ground." Seeing her guilt, Gu Anran comforted her softly.
Huo Ge stood in front of her and apologized sincerely, which made Gu Anran feel a little flustered. Fortunately, Xiao Mu suddenly burst into tears, which drew her attention.
After soothing the child, Jia Yunxin reached out and touched her belly. "If the baby comes out, can I be her godmother?"
"This godmother position was reserved for you in advance."
The two mothers had more to talk about, and they chattered away, completely ignoring the man. Ye Lichuan sat next to them without speaking to Huo Ge, but just stared intently at Gu Anran.
"I've noticed that you always find out you're pregnant every time you go abroad," Hogo suddenly interrupted, ending their discussion prematurely.
Gu Anran thought about it and realized that it seemed to be true. Last time, she went abroad and found out she was pregnant with her second child. This time it's her third. She smiled and said, "It's probably fate."
"If you ask me, you should give birth here before returning to China." Jia Yunxin thought about how she had miscarried before because of the competition, and that she and Ye Lichuan were both in business, so there were quite a few people who were envious. If someone with ulterior motives found out, who knew what might happen.
Huo Ge also mentioned several advantages of not giving birth abroad, the most important being the company of his wife. Even Xiao Tian and Ye Lichuan started to agree, wanting her to return after giving birth.
But Gu Anran shook her head. "It's the same no matter where I give birth. I'm actually more familiar with the environment back in China. As long as I'm careful, everything will be fine." As soon as she finished speaking, she remembered what had just happened and suddenly felt uneasy.
Everyone tried to persuade Gu Anran, but she still looked hesitant. She still wanted to return to China to have her baby, and the company still needed her. Although two new managers and senior executives had been promoted, she was still worried.
“I agree with Huo Ge and the others’ idea. You should give birth here before going back. As for the company’s affairs, even if you return to China, I won’t let you touch them.” Ye Lichuan saw through her thoughts with ease.
Gu Anran moved her lips but didn't speak, still feeling very hesitant. Seeing her dilemma, Jia Yunxin took the initiative to change the subject.
After having dinner at Huo Ge's house, Gu Anran started feeling sleepy again because of her pregnancy. After saying goodbye to everyone, she returned to the hotel. However, she woke up completely as soon as she got to the hotel. She looked at Ye Lichuan, who had just come out after taking a shower, and felt very conflicted.
Everyone is doing this for her own good, and perhaps she should listen to them, but she really can't ignore the company.
Ye Lichuan's attitude toward this matter was very firm. He cared a lot about the loss of Erbao and did not want any problems to occur with Sanbao. "We will not leave here for the time being. You can think about it slowly, but I will not change my mind."
Gu Anran was troubled and confused by the difficult decision, while Ye Lichuan acted quickly. He took a fancy to a detached villa by the sea, bought it on a lavish basis, and the three of them moved into the villa that same day.
Considering her physical limitations and poor health, Jia Yunxin made a special trip to visit her, bringing with her a lot of tonics and children's clothes.
"This is what Huo Ge gave me when I was pregnant. Your body needs nourishment now, so take two bottles a day." After saying that, he took out several boxes of supplements. "These can be taken together, and you must remember to take them."
"And these are clothes I bought for the baby. I bought them all because I didn't know if it was a boy or a girl. Do you like them?" With such thoughtfulness, how could Gu Anran not like them?
After putting everything away, she specially opened the tonic and the two of them drank it together. Jia Yunxin was already preparing for her comeback, so she became very busy. She stayed there for a while before leaving, and before leaving, she brought up the matter of staying.
