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 Chengâs 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 Ruiâs 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 didnât act in a âscared to deathâ 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, overwhelmedâ¦
All the emotions, that were not there before or were previously well-controlled by reason, were spreading in Su Ruiâs 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 otherâs embrace.
Hearing the otherâs 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 womanâs dependence, Gu Yu Chengâs 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 Ruiâs possible pregnancy, Gu Yu Chengâs hand movements seemed unusually careful.
âYu Chengâ¦â
âRui Rui.â
The two voices sounded almost simultaneously, but Gu Yu Cheng was the first to ask the words in his heart.
âAre you⦠Are you pregnant?â
Gu Yu Chengâs 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.
âYouâ¦â
âI just saw your search history on the tablet.â 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.
Itâs just that Su Rui usually didnât even pay attention to this.
If Gu Yu Cheng hadnât mentioned it, she wouldnât have thought of it at all, it was this link.
âReally?â Gu Yu Cheng asked as the larynx of his throat twitched slightly.
âIâm not sure,â burying her head in Gu Yu Chengâs arms, Su Rui shook her head and added, âItâs just that itâs a little delayed, or it could be caused by something else. Itâs not necessarilyâ¦â
It is not necessarily being pregnant.
âLetâs go to the hospital.â Gu Yu Cheng said gently in Su Ruiâs ear.
âNo need to go to the hospital yet,â Su Rui tugged Gu Yu Chengâs shirt behind her back and added, âLetâs buy a pregnancy test-kit and go back to take a test.â
According to the internet, pregnancy tests were generally quite accurate.
Besides, itâs nerve-wracking to run to the hospital without taking a test firstâ¦
Without others to attend to her, she felt it was a bit exaggerated.
What if the test reveals that youâre not actually pregnant, wouldnât that be a waste of medical resources?
â¦â¦
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 wasnât sure, Su Rui blushed a little.
It was as if she saw a flash of surprise on the doctorâs 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 doctorâs surprise was that on the hospitalâs VIP appointment record, Mr Guâs appointment was for a maternity check-up.
The author has something to say:
1.I have a cold. I am so sleepy. I canât write anymore, Iâll try to do more tomorrow.
2.Mr Gu: I am a newbie and do not have enough experience.
3.Letâs talk about Rui Ruiâs pregnancy again~
The original intention of this novel is to write sweet romance in a realistic way, so some things will develop and peopleâs reactions will be more realistic.
Firstly, in real life, the world doesnât 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 canât 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 âpossessed a smart and outstanding persona yet he immediately becomes a brainless doormat[2] in front of the female leadâ seen in Mary Sue works. So letâs not use âpossessing a flawless character, but in reality, he is a brainless doormatâ 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 âMatchmaking, Marriage and Childbirthâ in the subheading. Iâm looking forward to a munchkin appearing, but until then, Rui Rui is definitely going to be an âEmpressâ for 10 months.)
[1] çè¡[gÇuxiÄ]- 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] èç(tiÇn gÇu)- The literal translation is a âlick dogâ. 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 isnât 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 âdoormat.â
