Gu Yu Cheng stopped his car at the roadside and the first thing he saw was the woman standing by the back door of the school building.
Looking at Su Rui, Gu Yu Cheng’s Adam apple bopped abruptly, his gaze burning hot, and he felt his heart almost stop, and then it pounded like thunder.
The emotions that Gu Yu Cheng has been restraining all along the way also burst out through his eyes at this moment.
Su Rui felt something, she raised her head and saw Gu Yu Cheng.
Although there was no word on whether she was really pregnant and it was likely that it was a false alarm, the moment she saw Gu Yu Cheng, Su Rui’s emotions exploded as if a catalyst had been thrown at her.
It was strange to say the least.
When she knew that she might be pregnant, Su Rui was quite calm and collected, apart from a brief moment of shock.
At least, she was able to think rationally about how to be sure of this, and she didn’t act in a ‘scared to death’ state that Tang Xiao had described.
However, the moment she saw Gu Yu Cheng, her calm heart felt like it was blocked by something.
Unexpected, frightened, nervous, overwhelmed…
All the emotions, that were not there before or were previously well-controlled by reason, were spreading in Su Rui’s heart at this moment.
So much so that when Gu Yu Cheng walked over here, before Gu Yu Cheng could bring Su Rui into his arms, Su Rui had already taken a step forward and burrowed into the other’s embrace.
Hearing the other’s heartbeat and feeling the familiar scent and body heat, the emotions Su Rui felt a second before were magically muted by the warmth and reassurance that came with it.
Sensing the woman’s dependence, Gu Yu Cheng’s heartbeat became a little more eager and at the same time, he also raised his arms to tighten Su Rui in his embrace.
However, because of the thought of Su Rui’s possible pregnancy, Gu Yu Cheng’s hand movements seemed unusually careful.
“Yu Cheng…”
“Rui Rui.”
The two voices sounded almost simultaneously, but Gu Yu Cheng was the first to ask the words in his heart.
“Are you… Are you pregnant?”
Gu Yu Cheng’s voice carried a hint of cautious probing. However, it was hard to hide that hint of excitement and nervousness.
Upon hearing these words, Su Rui was startled.
How did Gu Yu Cheng know?
Obviously, she had only just learned about this matter, right, and was still only in a skeptical state.
“You…”
“I just saw your search history on the tablet.” Without waiting for Su Rui to ask, Gu Yu Cheng already explained the reason.
Su Rui: !
Generally, search keywords have a history, and it seems that some search engines do synchronize with the account.
It’s just that Su Rui usually didn’t even pay attention to this.
If Gu Yu Cheng hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have thought of it at all, it was this link.
“Really?” Gu Yu Cheng asked as the larynx of his throat twitched slightly.
“I’m not sure,” burying her head in Gu Yu Cheng’s arms, Su Rui shook her head and added, “It’s just that it’s a little delayed, or it could be caused by something else. It’s not necessarily…”
It is not necessarily being pregnant.
“Let’s go to the hospital.” Gu Yu Cheng said gently in Su Rui’s ear.
“No need to go to the hospital yet,” Su Rui tugged Gu Yu Cheng’s shirt behind her back and added, “Let’s buy a pregnancy test-kit and go back to take a test.”
According to the internet, pregnancy tests were generally quite accurate.
Besides, it’s nerve-wracking to run to the hospital without taking a test first…
Without others to attend to her, she felt it was a bit exaggerated.
What if the test reveals that you’re not actually pregnant, wouldn’t that be a waste of medical resources?
……
Eventually, the two went to the hospital.
The reason for this was that Gu Yu Cheng called to make an appointment on his way to pick Su Rui up, and it was one of the best maternity hospitals.
When she explained to the doctor that she only suspected that she might be pregnant and wasn’t sure, Su Rui blushed a little.
It was as if she saw a flash of surprise on the doctor’s face too.
However, Su Rui did not know that there were many people who came to the hospital for early pregnancy check-ups, and the real reason for the doctor’s surprise was that on the hospital’s VIP appointment record, Mr Gu’s appointment was for a maternity check-up.
The author has something to say:
1.I have a cold. I am so sleepy. I can’t write anymore, I’ll try to do more tomorrow.
2.Mr Gu: I am a newbie and do not have enough experience.
3.Let’s talk about Rui Rui’s pregnancy again~
The original intention of this novel is to write sweet romance in a realistic way, so some things will develop and people’s reactions will be more realistic.
Firstly, in real life, the world doesn’t revolve around one person like in dog blood[1] and Mary Sue drama, where everything goes according to the perfect formula. However, in reality, there are always small and big surprises that we can’t anticipate.
Secondly, in a marriage between equals, that is a matter for two people, and pregnancy should be the responsibility of two people.
Once again, Chairman Gu is a good man with a sense of responsibility. But he is definitely not the kind of “possessed a smart and outstanding persona yet he immediately becomes a brainless doormat[2] in front of the female lead” seen in Mary Sue works. So let’s not use “possessing a flawless character, but in reality, he is a brainless doormat” on Chairman Gu.~
Lastly, this was really an accident. Why is it an accident? Everyone can check on the second thing Su Rui has searched. Hahaha (With that said, after all the talk of “Matchmaking, Marriage and Childbirth” in the subheading. I’m looking forward to a munchkin appearing, but until then, Rui Rui is definitely going to be an “Empress” for 10 months.)
[1] 狗血[gǒuxiě]- dog blood/unbelievable/exaggerated/Melodramatic. Firstly, it could be describing trite and highly predictable movie or Tv drama scenes. Secondly, it could be relating to ludicrously unrealistic movie or TV drama scenes. Thirdly, it could relate to or characterised by schmaltz, dramatised sentimentalism, as in TV shows and movies. Lastly, it may be relating to life events that are ridiculous or infuriating.
[2] 舔狗(tiǎn gǒu)- The literal translation is a ‘lick dog’. It is an internet slang that originated from a sticker where a dog with spaniel eyes looking at the person taking the picture. It means when one isn’t liked by another person, yet he/she can put away his/her dignity and show warm feelings to the other but faced with a cold rebuke by the other person. Thus, it is somewhat similar to being a ‘doormat.’
