Hou Guifang immediately looked at Long Yunting.
Sheng Qian said she wanted to keep it a secret for now because she didn't want everyone's attention to be on her side.
Long Yunting didn't feel there was anything wrong with it.
Sheng Qian was also surprised that Elder Long had spoken up. Facing everyone's gazes, she simply smiled.
"Xiaoqian! When...when did this happen?!"
Hou Guifang stood up with joy, staring straight at Sheng Qian, her face filled with barely suppressed excitement.
The others were also happy for Sheng Qian and the others upon hearing this!
Lan Peizhi smiled and said, "No wonder the old man kept instructing people to prepare those tonics for you. It turns out he knew all along. But why didn't he tell the family about this good thing? What if someone offended him?"
“Yes, Xiaoqian, you’ve been preparing this surprise for way too long! We didn’t even have time to react,” Deng Zhiying added. “This is a triple celebration for our family! We haven’t had this much joy in a long time!”
“We should have a proper celebration tonight with some extra dishes! Grandpa, let’s get started,” Lan Peizhi said happily.
"good!"
A gentle smile appeared on Elder Long's usually serious face.
"Xiaoqian, you too! How could you keep such a happy event a secret from your family!" Hou Guifang happily sat down next to her, looking at Shengqian's belly again and again.
"It's because this child wanted to surprise Yunting first, so it's not her fault," Elder Long said again, speaking up for Sheng Qian.
Considering the things they had arranged before and after, and the fact that Long Yunting only returned to the capital around that time, it becomes understandable.
"It's my fault, I didn't even notice that," Hou Guifang thought to herself, blaming herself for being so careless.
The old man had given Sheng Qian countless tonics over the years, and she hadn't even noticed.
It's no exaggeration to say they have a big heart.
Sheng Qian said, "It's because I didn't find a suitable time to say it. I thought I could tell by the month."
"It's okay, it's not too late to know now!" Deng Zhiying said to Long Yunting, "Yunting, if you don't have any missions recently, spend some time with Xiaoqian. It's not easy for her to run around outside all by herself. You're often away from home and can't take care of her most of the time, so take this opportunity to spend quality time with her."
"I can."

When Long Xingzhou and Long Shaotian returned home that evening and learned that Sheng Qian was pregnant, they rushed over to congratulate Long Yunting.
Long Yunting was happy inside, but he didn't show it on his face.
Long Xingzhou and Long Shaotian were both somewhat helpless. If they didn't know his character, outsiders would have thought that Long Yunting was unhappy.
He has such a pretty face, but he can't even smile properly.
It was this twist of fate that led him to end his single life so early. Without this incident, people thought Long Yunting might have remained single for life.
"Big brother, second brother, you talk to me, I'm going to find Greyley," Long Shaotian said, having been away on business all day and really missing Greyley.
Seeing Long Shaotian's doting husband demeanor, Long Xingzhou couldn't help but shake his head and smile, "If he ever goes out on business, he'll go crazy."
"You'll get used to it eventually."
Thinking of Long Yunting's identity, Long Xingzhou said, "You'll be able to stay for a while this time, right?"
"Unless there are special missions, I will stay a little longer."
He felt uneasy not being by Sheng Qian's side.
Long Xingzhou said, "Even if there are missions, your family will take good care of Sheng Qian, so don't worry."
"Um."
"It's still early tonight, let's have a few drinks later."
Long Yunting nodded.
Long Xingzhou patted him on the shoulder and went to see Jin Ruoxuan.
"Everyone was very surprised to learn from Grandpa today that Sheng Qian is pregnant."
When Jin Ruoxuan saw Long Xingzhou return to his room, she casually said something.
"I was also surprised. I was worried before, but now it's all good."
"Worry?"
Jin Ruoxuan looked at him with suspicion.
What do they have to worry about?
“You know how Sheng Qian married into the Long family. She even brought up divorce with Yun Ting back then. We were worried that Sheng Qian would leave Yun Ting one day. Now that we have a child, we feel much more at ease.”
Jin Ruoxuan looked at Long Xingzhou for a long time and said, "You still care about her quite a bit."
“She is my younger brother’s sister-in-law, so it’s natural for me to care about her.”
Jin Ruoxuan pursed her lips, and for some reason, she thought of the time before she married Long Xingzhou.
At the time, she thought Sheng Qian and Long Xingzhou were a couple, but after learning that Sheng Qian was Long Xingzhou's younger sister-in-law, she dispelled that guess.
Looking back now, I always feel that Long Xingzhou was really special to Sheng Qian.
He seemed very relaxed when he was with Sheng Qian, but when he was with me, something always seemed to be missing.
"What's wrong?"
Jin Ruoxuan shook her head, suppressing her doubts.
She made a hypothetical assumption: if Sheng Qian wasn't Long Xingzhou's sister-in-law, could it be that Long Xingzhou had taken a liking to Sheng Qian back then?
As soon as the hypothesis came up, she felt it was the most likely one.
Because Shengqian is so different.
Even as a woman, she would be attracted by Sheng Qian's aura, let alone Long Xingzhou.
Perhaps, in that instant, Long Xingzhou also had feelings for Sheng Qian.
Jin Ruoxuan looked at Long Xingzhou, who was massaging her legs, and pursed her lips even tighter.
She dared not think any further about those hypothetical scenarios in her mind.
“Sheng Qian prepared a generous gift for us at the wedding. When they hold their wedding ceremony, we should also pick out a suitable gift for them.”
"……Um."
Upon hearing Long Xingzhou mention Sheng Qian, Jin Ruoxuan suddenly felt somewhat irritated.
Whether it was Long Xingzhou's or Long Shaotian's wedding, Sheng Qian gave them both a very beautiful set of gold jewelry.
