Chapter 359: Chapter 359: Finally Pregnant

Xi Wanfen even thought Qiu Shuai was gangster material.

"Xiao Fen, what are you thinking about?" Qiu Shuai asked Xi Wanfen.

Xi Wanfen snapped out of her imagined world, shuddering in the process.

Looking at Qiu Shuai again, he seemed like a villain capable of murder and arson.

Not even listening to Ah Sun sing any longer, she quickly returned to the living room, sticking close to Su Meixi.

"Xiao Fen, what’s wrong with you?" Seeing Xi Wanfen in a daze, looking petrified, Su Meixi asked.

"Sister, how did you get to know Qiu Shuai so well?"

"Xi Wanlin had bribed one of his men before. That guy tried to intercept me halfway, but I took him down. Gu Wei confronted Qiu Shuai over it, and Qiu Shuai, seeing how tough Gu Wei was, chased after me to become my little brother."

"What?" Xi Wanfen was surprised: "Isn’t that dangerous? How do you know he isn’t getting close to you just to get revenge?"

"Pfft." Su Meixi laughed, "Qiu Shuai is quite a simple person."

"Simple? Him?" Xi Wanfen couldn’t believe it, "Sister, he runs a bar and has underlings, aren’t you afraid?"

"Not afraid." Su Meixi said with a smile: "You can’t judge someone just by their appearance or what they do for a living; you have to look at their character. Qiu Shuai is not the traditional type of good man. A traditional successful good man is someone like Dad, but he is definitely not a bad person."

Xi Wanfen said, "Anyway, I don’t like him."

She felt that people like Qiu Shuai must have many girlfriends, the kind who enjoys chartering a yacht for a sea trip in his spare time, with the yacht full of bikini-clad girlfriends.

...

This month, Su Meixi’s period didn’t arrive on time.

Her periods were always punctual, but she didn’t dare to get her hopes up too much, afraid it would just be a false alarm, so she kept quiet about it.

During this time, she and Gu Wei carried on as usual.

It wasn’t until her period was 15 days late that she went to buy several pregnancy tests.

After carefully reading the instructions, which suggested that using morning urine would yield the best results, she waited until the next day to go to the bathroom.

Gu Wei keenly sensed that Su Meixi was up to something. Otherwise, why would she rush into the bathroom so early in the morning?

But he didn’t say anything.

After all, he had an inkling, as he was a man who kept track of his wife’s menstrual cycles. He remembered that her last period started on the 15th and now it was already the 30th of this month, and he hadn’t seen her use any sanitary pads in between.

He held back from saying anything, also because he feared getting his hopes up for nothing.

Such matters had to be confirmed by her before she could tell him.

On the surface, he waited calmly in bed, but his palms were tightly clutching the sheets.

After ten minutes, the bathroom door finally opened.

He straightened up involuntarily.

He first observed Su Meixi’s expression.

She was emotionless.

If she were disappointed, she would definitely show some emotions—maybe slamming the bathroom door after coming out, possibly kicking her slippers, or even grabbing a water glass from the table to gulp down water fiercely.

In any case, he would be able to sense her displeasure.

But, she was not displeased.

Yet, she walked towards him with wide eyes, hiding something behind her back.

"Ah Xi..."

Before he could speak, Su Meixi suddenly pulled out three pregnancy tests from behind her and pounced on him, tumbling him onto the bed.

"What’s this..."

"You’re going to be a dad!" Su Meixi laughed heartily, finally releasing her emotions, "Gu Wei, you’re going to be a dad!"

"Let me see."

He took the pregnancy test from her hand, every single one showed two lines!

He excitedly embraced her in his arms.

Fortunately, she was pregnant, otherwise he would be scolded for hogging the toilet without taking a dump.

"Ah Xi, you’re pregnant now, so don’t run and jump around like that, you need to be careful," Gu Wei quickly said.

Su Meixi wrapped her arms around his neck, "Are you the doctor, or am I the doctor? I can still jump around for a few more days. There are many people who don’t realize they’re pregnant and continue playing sports or climbing mountains. Once they know, they obediently lie in bed. I’ll just pretend I don’t know."

Gu Wei disagreed: "No, it’s better to be cautious. What if I can only let you get pregnant this once?"

He actually lacked confidence in himself.

"Nonsense, as long as you want, having ten or eight kids wouldn’t be a problem."

"Remember, those are your words."

"..." She had fallen into his verbal trap again.

...

Su Meixi didn’t tell anyone about her pregnancy.

After all, tradition says you should keep it secret for the first three months, or else it’s unlucky, so she had no plans of sharing the news.

But Gu Wei became extra cautious, sniffing around here and there every day, sometimes using a formaldehyde detector to check for formaldehyde, and keeping the air purifier on all day long.

Non-slip mats were also laid in the bathroom, and the hourly maid was replaced with a live-in housekeeper, a gold-medal one at that, specially to take care of Su Meixi’s diet and daily life, preparing delicious meals for early pregnancy.

All the ingredients at home had to be fresh.

This made Su Meixi feel like she had become a national treasure, but on second thought, she also felt quite blessed.

She thought Wang Bing was right, once a person is spoiled, they really do become a lot more affected.

However, she still insisted on going to work.

When it comes to work, she never put on airs.

A career is a woman’s self-confidence; no matter how much the salary, it’s essential.

In the second month of pregnancy, Gu Wei had to go on a business trip that would keep him away for a month.

Even though a nanny had been arranged at home, Gu Wei was still not at ease. They had originally agreed not to tell anyone before three months, but he still informed Li Shirui.

He wanted to ask Li Shirui to come and check on Su Meixi whenever she had time.

Because of this, Su Meixi was somewhat annoyed.

"What did you tell her for?"

Gu Wei said, "I’m going on a business trip, and we’re not locals from Yun City. It’s essential to have someone truly concerned about you at home, I mean someone who cares for you selflessly, not for compensation. Besides her, I can’t think of anyone else."

Although Su Meixi was not completely satisfied with Gu Wei’s arrangements, she felt a warm sensation when Li Shirui visited.

Maybe it was because she was about to become a mother herself that her thoughts inevitably became more sensitive.

Seeing Li Shirui, Su Meixi saw affection in her eyes, and she invited Li Shirui in to sit.

Li Shirui was still as elegant and gentle, "I heard about your condition from Gu Wei. Have you had any pregnancy reactions recently?"

Su Meixi said, "It’s not too bad, just that my appetite isn’t great, and I occasionally feel dizzy."

"Have you gone for a check-up?"

"Yes, the doctor at ours said, as long as there’s no bleeding or abdominal pain or anything like that, it all indicates that the fetus is healthy."

"Do you go to work by yourself usually? Or should I ask Old Xi to assign a driver to pick you up and drop you off?"

Su Meixi smiled and said, "No need, there are plenty of pregnant women who still commute to work by bus or subway. I’m not that fussy."

At most she just became picky with food and a bit lazy, like not wanting to blow-dry her hair after washing it and hoping someone else would do it for her.

However, perhaps she’s been living in peace for too long, forgetting that there is actually danger lurking around her.
