His Beloved Treasure

Alright, she indeed had a bit of a slow reaction to certain things.

When the two of them returned to the dining table, Xiaomei was scarfing down food like crazy, having eaten nearly half of several dishes already.

Xiaomei looked up at them and said, ”You don’t need to tell me anything, I don’t want to know!”

Helian Hao and Qin Mu gave a helpless laugh, then went over and sat down to eat.

However, Helian Hao still couldn’t help but react a little at the sight of the fish soup.

”Fish soup is very nourishing, you should drink more of it.”

Qin Mu, remembering her own first three months, then reminded Helian Hao.

But in her heart, she thought, ah, you have your day too.

Helian Hao gave a helpless sigh and said, ”I might as well keep it a secret for now. Otherwise, if Jing Feng finds out, how am I to deal with him forcing me to eat all sorts of bizarre things?”

”And what if he figures it out just by your behavior?”

Upon hearing this, Xiaomei immediately began talking and mimicking the behavior at the same time.

Helian Hao thought about it and, feeling helpless, shook her head and said, ”You actually make a lot of sense. Why does a single young woman like you seem to understand men so well?”

”I don’t understand men at all!”

When Xiaomei heard Helian Hao’s words, she protested softly but unconsciously thought of Jian Yan, having been with him for so long. She figured that perhaps this is what unrequited love is like; you gradually understand everything about that man, you guess his thoughts, you realize that a lot of things about men cannot be forced, and you come to know just how perceptive men can be.

Perhaps Jian Yan had sensed Qin Mu’s feelings for Mu Yichen right from the start?

Suddenly, Xiaomei remembered how Jian Yan had been distracted during that period, memories like a long river, leading to unknown places, making one lose their way.

Seeing Xiaomei’s soul-lost appearance, Qin Mu guessed she was thinking of Jian Yan and simply said softly, ”Didn’t you say you liked the soup? Drink more of it, it won’t taste good once it’s cold!”

Xiaomei, reminded about the soup, quickly recovered her spirits and started competing with the two pregnant women for food.

After Helian Hao returned to the hospital, she found a pregnancy test stick and took it to the restroom.

When she confirmed later that she was pregnant, her heart almost stopped from the fright.

She sent a WeChat picture to Qin Mu: ”Dear, I really am pregnant!”

”What did you originally think?”

Qin Mu thought to herself, she had made it so clear in the studio at noon, so that woman had never believed it.

”I thought you were joking!”

She also sent a crying emoji.

Qin Mu laughed helplessly and replied, ”Take good care of yourself, you should tell Jing Feng by tonight at the latest when you get off work.”

Helian Hao sent a string of ellipsis.

The relationship between Helian Hao and Jing Feng lately, how to put it?

Helian Hao always felt that they were just getting by, although there were feelings, it was hard to get fully invested.

There was a period when she almost thought they were going to break up.

But day by day, they got through the past few months.

And then one day, out of the blue, she discovered she was pregnant.

If Jing Feng found out about her pregnancy...

Jing Feng must have been hoping for her to be pregnant, she thought. Thinking of his reaction when he would find out, she felt somewhat gloomy all afternoon, and went straight home after work.

In the evening, she prepared dinner on time as usual. Jing Feng also seldom socialized after work and would come home to eat.

But tonight, Jing Feng did not return. He called to say that there was something at the old house that required his attention, so Helian Hao prepared dinner and ate alone.

Around ten o’clock, she sat on the sofa holding the remote control and watched TV. The house was silent except for the sound of the remote. She occasionally glanced at the beautiful clock hanging not far away on the wall, and then her gaze would return to the television.

She was kind of nervous, not knowing how to bring up her pregnancy.

However, as he didn’t come back, she found herself wanting to say less and less.

When Jing Feng finally returned home, nearly at eleven o’clock, she still sat on the sofa. She glanced at him as he came over and sat beside her and then asked softly, ”Is there something going on at home?”

”Nothing much!”

Jing Feng said tiredly, leaning back in the sofa and lifting his head.

Helian Hao felt that ever since Jing Qing left, Jing Feng seemed to be under a lot of pressure. She wondered if Jing Qing had truly died in that explosion, or if it was just the Jing Family’s arrangement for her departure.

She couldn’t be sure and later decided not to ask too much about it. Affairs of the Jing Family that she shouldn’t meddle in, she wouldn’t bother with.

The two of them sat quietly on the sofa for a while.

”Let’s go to sleep!”

Jing Feng suddenly spoke up, then straightened his back.

Helian Hao turned her head to look at him, holding back again and again. Remembering the message from Qin Mu, she finally mustered the courage, ”Jing Feng, I’m pregnant!”
