Chapter 440 It was winter, and her due date was approaching

Jiang Rou asked, "Sister Yulan, have you heard the news?"

"Yes." Lin Yulan said calmly, "Grandpa Qin Shu brought good news."

Speaking of Qin Shu’s grandfather.

Jiang Rou was full of doubts and finally had the chance to ask.

"Why did he come to the island?"

"He was worried about Xiao Shu, so he came to see her and entrusted her to our care."

A few days ago.

After Grandpa Qin arrived on the island, Liang Guangming and Lin Yuyao, as the hosts, formally entertained Qin Shu and Qin Shu's grandfather.

At the dinner table, with Grandpa Qin present, it is inevitable to reminisce about the past.

Talked about some things from their childhood.

Someone’s child was naughty and broke the window, someone’s girl was wearing a bed sheet as a skirt and so on...The days at that time were the most carefree, and things were getting better day by day.

The three of them chatted with Grandpa Qin about the past, and the dinner table was not dull at all.

Grandpa Qin took a few sips of wine, squinted his eyes and looked at Liang Guangming and Lin Yulan, feeling a lot of emotion.

"I didn't expect that you two would get married. There was a rumor in the compound before that Xiaoshu liked light. I was so angry that I couldn't sleep for three days. I thought my child was going to be kidnapped..."

"Grandpa, please stop talking about that! That's not happening at all."

Qin Shu immediately covered Grandpa Qin's nagging mouth to stop him from talking nonsense.

What the hell is going on!

Lin Yulan still smiled faintly, but she took these words to heart.

Yes... no one expected that the people who would get married in the end would be her and Liang Guangming.

It should belong to Qin Shu.

Perhaps this is what Grandpa Qin wanted to say.

Qin Shu hurriedly explained to Lin Yulan, "Sister Yulan, don't listen to my grandpa's nonsense. He was just drunk and talking nonsense."

Lin Yulan nodded and said calmly, "It's okay, that's how old people are."

Qin Shu and Lin Yulan looked at each other.

No one noticed that Liang Guangming's eyes suddenly became gloomy.

After dinner that day.

Grandpa Qin found an opportunity to talk to Lin Yulan in private.

Just the two of them.

The elderly man held Lin Yulan's hand and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"I still remember that year... when I first brought Xiao Shu back, she was a prickly little brat, unwilling to approach anyone, didn't listen to anyone, didn't even like me, and only liked you... liked to follow you, stick to you, and tell you everything..."

"Xiao Shu, she had a hard life since she was a child. She suffered so much. Later, she followed me and didn't have a good life either... Xiao Shu often told me that her happiest days were when she played with you. She didn't have to worry about anything and was happy every day..."

"Yulan, I'm getting older, and I won't be able to spend much time with Xiaoshu anymore. She's not married and doesn't have any children at this age, so when I'm gone, she'll be all alone. I'm really worried... I heard you were here, so I came all the way here."

Speaking of this.

Grandpa Qin put on a tired look, opened his eyes and looked at Lin Yulan who was lying quietly beside him.

The distress in the old man's eyes disappeared at this moment, and only earnest pleading remained in his eyes.

"Yulan, just think of this as my selfishness, but I only trust you, and Xiaoshu also only trusts you. When I'm gone, please take good care of Xiaoshu and don't leave her alone. As an old man, I beg you."

Lin Yulan listened to Grandpa Qin's words. She had lived with him for many years and he was like a family member to her. How could she not be moved?

Her eyes reddened slightly and she nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, Xiao Shu won't be alone. Someone will be with her. There will definitely be someone with her."

After hearing what Lin Yulan said, Grandpa Qin patted Lin Yulan's hand gratefully and slowly closed his eyes to rest.

The person he had chosen in his heart was Lin Yulan.

Little did they know.

Lin Yulan was thinking of someone else in her heart.

besides.

Grandpa Qin also brought good news at the dinner table.

That means the higher-ups are already studying and reviewing whether Liang Guangming can be promoted to a higher position.

He said, "The results will be out by the end of the year, so there will definitely be no problem with Guangming."

At the end of the year…

Lin Yulan silently remembered this time.

It was winter then, and her due date was approaching.

…

"Sister Yulan, Sister Yulan, Sister Yulan..."

Lin Yulan was distracted.

Jiang Rou called her softly a few times.

Lin Yulan slowly came back to her senses and suddenly felt a contraction and pain in her stomach.

“Oh.”

She gave a small cry of surprise.

Jiang Rou asked hurriedly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Yulan unexpectedly laughed.

She touched her belly and said, "It was Zhenzhen who kicked me."

Zhenzhen, her baby.

Jiang Rou looked down and saw a bulge about the size of a ping-pong ball on Lin Yulan's round belly.

For Jiang Rou, who had never been pregnant before, this was the first time she had seen such a situation.

She was a little hesitant and worried.

Lin Yulan was already used to it, and explained gently.

"Arou, this is Zhenzhen's little hand. Every afternoon around this time, she would say hello to me after her nap."

She lowered her head and gently stroked the bulge on her belly with her palm.

"Zhenzhen, it's Mommy, did you hear the sound?"

The small bump moved slightly.

It seems that Zhenzhen is answering Lin Yulan's question. She heard it~

Jiang Rou found it novel and her eyes lit up.

Is this...is this giving birth to a child?

Is this what is called a blood connection, a mother-daughter bond of one mind?

Her heartbeat inexplicably quickened.

Jiang Rou wanted to touch Lin Yulan's belly, but for some reason, she was a little scared.

It was probably the first time I realized how a new life was born.

In the moment Jiang Rou hesitated.

Instead, a small hand touched Lin Yulan's belly first.

It was Zhou Xiaohua who had approached me without me noticing when.

I don’t know if she heard the conversation between Lin Yulan and Jiang Rou.

Zhou Xiaohua was staring at Lin Yulan's belly, especially the bulge that was the size of a ping-pong ball.

Her small fingers touched it carefully.

"Is it your sister?"

It was rare for Zhou Xiaohua to take the initiative to speak.

Lin Yulan smiled softly, "Yes, it's a younger sister. A younger sister than Xiaohua. Does Xiaohua like her?"

Xiaohua blinked and nodded.

"Yes~ I like my sister."

Lin Yulan smiled even more happily, "If Xiaohua likes a little sister, let your mother give birth to one, then you will have a little sister."

Jiang Rou listened from the side and thought it was all a joke.

Besides, Zhou Xiaohua is so young that she won’t take these words seriously.

But this evening...
