Chapter 499: It's Confirmed!

Her body, having been transformed by the space, never had an irregular period no matter how she pushed herself, and it never hurt at all, which led her to rarely pay attention to this aspect.

Now, after being reminded, she calculated it carefully.

It really was delayed!

She also thought about the day they returned from Quanshui Village; it seemed they hadn't taken any precautions.

She had been letting things take their natural course; after all, they had been married for so many years, and if it were any other in-laws, let alone urging her to conceive, they would have already been making snide remarks.

But her mother-in-law never concerned herself with these matters; every time she wrote a letter, she would ask how An Yinan's health was, tell her to pay attention to rest, and never put any pressure on her.

It was only now, with Big Aunt urging her to conceive, that she realized they had actually been married for so many years.

"Can you perform a Pulse Reading on yourself?" Liu Xicai asked, somewhat anxiously.

During these days, Nan Nan had certainly been pushing herself hard.

If she really was pregnant, Nan Nan couldn't afford to push herself like this.

An Yinan placed her fingers on her own wrist and listened carefully; the feeling was very strange.

After a long while, she performed the Pulse Reading three times, unsure, and finally lowered both hands, feeling both amused and exasperated.

"Is it?" Liu Xicai asked cautiously.

If one were to ask who in the family was the most anxious for her to conceive, it would definitely be Liu Xicai.

"Yes!" An Yinan replied helplessly.

It wasn't that she wasn't looking forward to this little life, but rather that her schedule for these past two years had been packed too full.

Moreover, many things had already been planned in advance, and they had to be executed.

Yet, this little one had come.

"Return to Beijing," Liu Xicai said directly.

An Yinan had known just now that Big Aunt would definitely say that.

Although this little one had disrupted her plans, there was a unique emotion in her heart—soft, gentle, and carrying a trace of attachment.

This feeling was something she had never experienced before, whether in her past life or her current one.

"We are already on the train; let's talk about it when we reach Shanghai," An Yinan said, trying to calm Big Aunt down.

"By the way, Big Aunt, don't tell Grandmother for now. For these next two days, I'll rest in the berth next door, and when it's time to eat, just green vegetables will do." An Yinan guessed that she didn't know how long this state of hers would last.

She calculated it; this little thing was just a month old? And it was already this picky about food.

"Alright," Liu Xicai agreed, also afraid of worrying her mother-in-law.

If the old lady worried, she wouldn't rest well or eat well, and her body wouldn't be able to handle the trip back.

However, she would have to keep an eye on Nan Nan's rest from now on; she couldn't keep staying up late like that.

Thinking of this, she also regretted coming along.

If she hadn't suggested coming, Grandmother wouldn't have come either, Nan Nan's work would have gone much faster, and by now, she would almost be back in Beijing.

"I will stay with you these next few days," Liu Xicai said.

An Yinan hurriedly shook her head, "Big Aunt, I'm not that delicate, and besides, there's still Qiu Hua."

"Grandmother needs care more; my body is good, my resistance is strong, and right now he isn't even the size of a mung bean; I'm fine."

She gestured with a grin.

Liu Xicai patted her forehead, but fearing it was too hard, she only tapped it lightly.

"You, how can you talk about your own child like that?" Liu Xicai said to her, annoyed.

But after thinking about it, she still smiled.

That comparison did seem about right.

The two returned, and An Yinan went straight to the berth next door, sat down, and stared blankly while holding a book.

Her hand rested unconsciously on her stomach; it was a mysterious feeling.

"How is Nan Nan?" Grandmother asked anxiously.

Every time Nan Nan was injured, it was the first time they had seen Nan Nan sick, and all of them were a bit worried.

Liu Xicai shook her head, "It's nothing, she probably can't handle the fish here; her appetite has been a bit poor these past few days."

As she spoke, she used a clean lunchbox to pack some green vegetables for Nan Nan.

"Qiu Hua, I'm going to trouble you; please take good care of Nan Nan over there," Liu Xicai said, looking at Zhao Qiu Hua.

Zhao Qiu Hua took the lunchbox, smiling brightly, "Don't worry, Big Aunt, Nan Nan is my sister, I will naturally take good care of her."

Liu Xicai had no choice; she couldn't leave her mother-in-law's side.

Just coming out for a walk carried some risks, and she couldn't be left alone.

They were still on the train, with people coming and going, and the floor covered in luggage and feet.

She couldn't take her eyes off her for even a second.

Originally, Nan Nan would have helped with the care, but now that Nan Nan also needed care, she could only take care of her mother-in-law by herself.

As for Nan Nan, she could only trouble Qiu Hua.

"How are you?" on the other side.

Zhao Qiu Hua brought the food over and immediately saw the dazed An Yinan.

A Nan Nan like this was truly rare to see.

"I'm pregnant," An Yinan looked up, staring straight at Zhao Qiu Hua, unable to resist sharing this joy.

Yes, joy.

When she first found out, she felt both amused and exasperated.

But as time passed, after she slowly accepted it, she suddenly discovered that she had no resistance to it at all; instead, her heart was filled with joy and anticipation.

Her child with Xunge, would it be a boy or a girl?

A boy must be like Xunge, upright and kind, and grow into a real man.

If it's a girl...

An Yinan thought for a moment; actually, she also hoped she would be like Xunge.

"Pregnant?" Zhao Qiu Hua widened her eyes, looking at An Yinan as if she were meeting this person for the first time.

An Yinan nodded, "Yeah, in this place, there's a little something now."

She pointed to her own belly, then laughed out loud; her eyes crinkled up, and her whole person radiated a unique glow.

Zhao Qiu Hua hurriedly placed the food on the small table, then looked at An Yinan's belly and carefully reached out her hand, "Little one, I am Auntie Qiu Hua, your mother's good friend."

"When you come out, Auntie will take you to play."

She used to think that having children was a very distant matter, but now Nan Nan was pregnant.

"He can't understand yet." An Yinan looked at Qiu Hua, listening to her words, feeling both amused and exasperated.

So it wasn't just herself who couldn't believe it.

Look, Qiu Hua was already crying.

Wait, crying.

"Why are you crying?" An Yinan looked at her appearance, feeling a bit confused.

Does her own pregnancy have such a big impact on Qiu Hua?

Zhao Qiu Hua wiped away her tears and looked at Nan Nan, "You don't understand."

She couldn't quite describe the feeling or the thought; it was just a very special sensation, as if their family finally had a younger generation?

But this child...

Isn't even from her own family!

Seeing her still shedding tears uncontrollably, An Yinan helplessly sat up and wiped her eyes for her.

Qiu Hua was not a sentimental person; usually, she wouldn't cry even if someone else did.

She had only teared up a countable number of times.

But now, those tears were falling down in pairs.

"What's wrong? Sister, is my pregnancy so hard for you to accept?" An Yinan teased.

Zhao Qiu Hua reached out her hand, thought about the fact that she was pregnant, and finally lowered it silently.
