"True to President Su’s style, not only in personality but in status as well—she truly receives Queen-level treatnt," Pan Yan remarked to Kang Zhong outside the office. Kang Zhong’s face stiffened for a mont before he couldn’t help complaining inwardly about Qin Jiran.
He was delighted that President Su had found such a perfect man to love and care for her so attentively, but did they have to flaunt it in front of his girlfriend? Such comparisons really put one in a helpless position, and he had no desire to be teased by his girlfriend because of them!
Although he was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that Qin Jiran’s presence, and especially his tender and thoughtful care for Su Yanyi, made his own journey to win over his wife even more fraught and difficult!
In the evening, Su Yanyi and Qin Jiran left work together and Qin Jiran safely escorted her ho. But before the two had a chance to change clothes, Mother Su showed up.
"Yanyi, don’t change the subject. How long have you been pregnant, and have you gone for a checkup? Should Mom arrange for a doctor for you? Pregnancy is no small matter; you have to take it seriously!" Mother Su asked a multitude of questions with such determination that this ti, she would not be sidetracked by Yanyi.
"I’ve just gotten pregnant, less than half a month. No checkup; it’s too early. We’ll go after a while. Is that okay, Mom?" Su Yanyi knew she couldn’t avoid it and answered her mother’s questions directly and skillfully avoided lying—for being pregnant for even a day is technically "less than half a month."
Mother Su frowned, sensing sothing off about the answer, but after thinking it over, she couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. The only puzzle for her was how Yanyi had discovered her pregnancy so early, knowing that many won only realize they’re pregnant after a month or two.
However, the doubt was fleeting, and Mother Su didn’t intend to probe. After all, the earlier a pregnancy is discovered, the better.
"Of course, it’s okay! When we were designing this little building, we included a nursery. It just wasn’t fully decorated. Let’s start decorating it from tomorrow, shall we? The only thing is, we don’t know whether it’s a boy or a girl. Should we choose blue or pink or maybe yellow? You don’t know, I actually wanted to get it done today, but since I couldn’t make up my mind about the color, I thought I’d ask you two..." Mother Su began excitedly, then rambled on without stopping.
Su Yanyi looked at her mother as if she were looking at a monster, her regret deepening. She really shouldn’t have announced her pregnancy so soon, but it was too late for regrets now.
Qin Jiran looked at Su Yanyi, amused by her regretful expression, squeezed her hand, and whispered in her ear, "Mom is doing this for us."
"I know. That’s why she’s still talking and I’m still listening." Otherwise, she would have turned and walked away a long ti ago!
"Ahem, Mom, you and Yanyi can talk; I’ll go cook. Are Grandpa and Dad coming ho for dinner? If so, I’ll make more so we can all eat here," Qin Jiran interrupted Mother Su with a smile.
"Oh yes, it’ll be lively to have dinner together. I’ll help out, and let’s make extra." Successfully diverted, Mother Su followed Qin Jiran into the kitchen and also had the servants notify the others that dinner would be at the little building tonight.
Seeing this unfold, Su Yanyi twitched at the corner of her eye. She could fully imagine that at dinner, when the family gathered, the topic of children would once again beco the everlasting subject.
