"I think the shrimp here is delicious." Tang Yue peeled the shrimp skillfully, quickly, and elegantly; eating shrimp was her favorite thing to do. Whether it was oil-braised shrimp, boiled shrimp, or spicy shrimp, they were all her favorites. Tang Yue didn’t miss the chance to even suck on her fingers, saying, "Next time, let’s buy a fish and make sour fish soup." "Sure, sure, sure," Sister Qing agreed eagerly with three affirmatives upon hearing about sour fish soup; her eyes lit up. The next day, Sister Qing bought a fish. The sour fish soup was served, looking very appetizing on the table, except... Sister Qing, smelling the fish, instantly felt a churn in her stomach. "Sister Qing, are you..." Tang Yue looked at Sister Qing and thought she hadn’t eaten pork but had seen pigs run; not to mention, she had been with Jiajia every day during the New Year period. "You’re pregnant, aren’t you?" Tang Yue said earnestly. Sister Qing, who vomited miserably, felt even worse upon hearing Tang Yue’s words; she kept waving her hands and said, "Impossible, every time we..." took precautions. She couldn’t even finish her sentence when Sister Qing remembered the day she got the certificate; An Chong was so crazy that they forgot to use protection once. Could it be possible that it happened just that once? Sister Qing felt utterly despondent. Tang Yue, on the other hand, was happy and handed her water and a towel, saying, "Sister Qing, getting pregnant is a good thing. But it’s the Year of the Sheep; is it really a good year for getting pregnant?" Jiajia is pregnant with her second child and is due earlier this year. An Yu didn’t take long after marriage to get pregnant too; she’s also due in October this year. Now Sister Qing is pregnant as well. Tang Yue seriously pondered and concluded that aside from the unmarried Zhang Tingyu and Minmin, all the married ones were pregnant. Perhaps the Year of the Sheep really was an auspicious year. While Sister Qing was throwing up, Tang Yue quickly ran across to the pharmacy opposite the apartment building, bought a pregnancy test, and offered it to her: "Sister Qing, take the test." "I think I might have eaten something bad," Sister Qing still felt it was unlikely. After throwing up for so long, she felt quite sick, her stomach was churning as if someone was stirring it with a stick. "It won’t hurt to try." Tang Yue pushed Sister Qing into the restroom. Sister Qing, holding the pregnancy test, finally decided to give it a try. "Sister Qing, how is it?" "Sister Qing, is it done?" "You’re pregnant, aren’t you?" Tang Yue waited outside the door eagerly, constantly urging and asking Sister Qing. Inside the restroom, Sister Qing was also nervously holding that little thing, watching it go from one red line to two red lines; Sister Qing stared intently at those two lines, cursing An Chong thoroughly in her heart. She really hadn’t planned on having a child! "Sister Qing." Tang Yue didn’t bother with formalities, barged straight into the room, snatched that little thing with two bars, and happily said, "Sister Qing, you’re pregnant, I’m going to be an aunt." "Sister Qing, we’re like sisters, so I can’t miss out on being an aunt, can I?" Tang Yue said slyly, looking at her. Bai Qing pursed her lips and said, "If it’s really born, you can’t skimp on the red packet for your aunt." "Of course not." Tang Yue said joyfully, "Sister Qing, call Brother An and tell him the good news." No sooner had she finished speaking than Tang Yue changed her mind and said, "This happy event is better shared in person, I’ll have Brother An come pick you up." Tang Yue sat sideways on the sofa and immediately called An Chong, knowing Bai Qing’s home number by heart. Before Bai Qing could react, Tang Yue had already hung up the phone. "Xiao Yue, I... I wasn’t ready to talk about it yet." Bai Qing’s mind was in a mess. "Sister Qing, you’re not planning to reject my nephew, are you?" Tang Yue asked with raised eyebrows. Bai Qing remained silent. Tang Yue persuaded her, "You’re married, and now the child has come, it’s fate. As my nephew, could you bear to reject him?" Until An Chong arrived home, Tang Yue kept talking about the benefits of children, mentioning how cute Wei Jiajia, Tang You’an, and Pang Pang were, emphasizing on a lot of children’s adorable aspects. "Brother An, Sister Qing, I have terrific news to tell you." Tang Yue seized the opportunity to speak and then said, "Brother An, please take good care of Sister Qing, don’t let her fall, umm, Sister Qing hasn’t eaten yet, she must be hungry." "Also, also, Sister Qing can’t stand the smell of fish." Tang Yue thought of all the things that might trigger morning sickness and kept reminding An Chong. Although she didn’t directly say Bai Qing was pregnant, An Chong, being clever, could guess. An Chong was like protecting a national treasure, a panda, escorting Bai Qing back home cautiously. "Xiaoqing, I’ll have the kitchen prepare some light food for you." An Chong personally spoke with the chef to make some light dishes. It wasn’t until Bai Qing had eaten her fill that An Chong spoke. After Bai Qing wiped her mouth, full and satisfied, she felt much more comfortable. Looking at An Chong, even though the scar on his face looked fearsome, the more she looked, the more handsome it seemed. Come to think of it, that scar by the eye was because of her. Bai Qing’s expression softened a great deal. After thinking for a long time, she finally said, "I... I am pregnant." "Xiaoqing, thank you for being willing to carry our child." An Chong sat down next to Bai Qing, pulling her into his arms and tenderly kissing her cheek. He appeared calm on the surface, but his emotions were tumultuous inside. From the moment he left Tang Yue’s apartment, An Chong had wanted to ask. But thinking that Bai Qing hadn’t eaten yet, he resolutely forced himself to hold back. An Chong’s voice even trembled slightly. Now in his early thirties, the thought of having a child related by blood was truly exciting for him. "Do you, do you like him?" Bai Qing tilted her head up to look at An Chong, her clear eyes observing him. An Chong didn’t immediately answer, but Bai Qing could see joy and excitement in the depths of his eyes. "Xiaoqing, I really like him, but you..." An Chong’s words were cut short as Bai Qing smiled and said, "Although his arrival was unexpected, I really like him." ɴᴇᴡ ɴᴏᴠᴇʟ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀʀᴇ ᴘᴜʙʟɪsʜᴇᴅ ᴏɴ 𝔫𝔬𝔳𝔢𝔩⁂𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾⁂𝔫𝔢𝔱 From the moment she found out about the pregnancy, Bai Qing had been shocked and troubled, but she had never thought of not wanting him. An Chong hugged Bai Qing tightly, suddenly lifting her into the air and spinning her around a few times, his smile growing wider with each rotation. Bai Qing clung tightly to An Chong’s neck, her heart filled with happiness. After becoming pregnant, Bai Qing was dearly protected by An Chong. The duty to protect Tang Yue was then handed over to a girl named Wu Xin. Although she had a boyish name with her short hair cut like a tomboy, she was not very talkative. However, when it came to action, she was incredibly tough.
