Chapter 433
Gu Jiangxin was happy with that answer. (1)
Huang Chuan, who had received paintings from all different artists was busy with framing them and working on the captions for the exhibition.
When he saw Gu Shishi’s latest work… his bifocal lens also fell off his face!
He stared at them for whole three hours then, with his shaking hands, the only thing that he wanted to do was to give Gu Shishi a call.
But his call was not answered –
Gu Shishi, inside of the mansion, had just finished her lunch. She had, however, turned pale instantly from a sip of fish soup. She retched as she clutched her stuffed chest.
Huo Sishen, who was eating at the same table as her, looked concerned immediately.
When Huang Chuan was trying to reached out to her, she had already been sent on her way to Qin Ruhai’s private office by Huo Sishen, whose heart almost stopped beating.
Being forced into the car, Gu Shishi felt very dizzy the entire time. She was even more dumbfounded when she saw the positive outcome of the test. So much that she didn’t even notice that her phone was vibrating. Qin Ruhai’s private clinic did not smell of strong disinfectant like other places.
In fact, the walls in the women’s treatment area were painted pink and made an interesting contrast with the nurses’ pink uniform.
Nevertheless, looking around the very girly surrounding, Gu Shishi was still dumbfounded.
She had yet to complete the system’s pre-pregnancy preparation.
Didn’t it say it will take 6 moths to a year to get ready?
Hadn’t it only been 2 – 3 months?
Uh. If she thought about it some more, it had only been a little over a month since Mr. Huo had it all sorted out and decided to have a child. So they nailed it with just one try?!
Gu Shishi sweated.
She had so much respect for the boss.
[Correction on the assignment.]
[The 25% completion rate on the pre-pregnancy assignment will be moved over to the Successfully Giving Birth to the First Child assignment.]
[Reward: No Stretch Mark halo.]
[Announcing new assigning: Naming Your Child.]
[Assignment requirement: Look through a dictionary and have 10 names prepared for the child whose gender is yet unknown.]
[Reward: No Morning Sickness halo.]
Gu Shishi shook her head.
Even the doggone system was driven insane by the mighty boss!
When had she ever seen the doggone system being knocked down a notch and was forced to switch up the assignments?
Roar! What was that oddly satisfying sensation that she was feeling right now?
She had just scratched her head a little when a man’s sweaty palm grabbed her other little hand that was placed on her lap.
She turned and looked and saw the man, who never showed any emotions, had his lips shut tightly, his eyes darting around and looking very nervous.
“Do you still feel sick?”
Even his voice was tense.
Gu Shishi shook her head.
“Are you tired? Do you want to lie down? Can you still walk?”
It wasn’t everyday when he said so many words.
Gu Shishi wasn’t sure what to make of that. Really, her legs were fine.
“I am fine.”
When Qin Ruhai came over and saw this not-very-well-composed Huo Sishen who was short of circling the girl, he almost busted out laughing.
Aiya, who’d have thought there would be a day when he could see his buddy in this shape?
He knew to feel nervous now?
“HA-- --”
He had just started laughing and Huo Sishen had already given him a cold and impatient look.
Qin Ruhai stopped himself immediately.
Fine.
He might have been a different man now, but that was only when it came to his delicate wife.
If he was angry, he would not hesitate to take care of this doctor.
“Ahem.” Qin Ruhai clenched his left hand into a fish. “Come into my office. Let me walk you through what you need to be aware of for the first three months.”
Huo Sishen finally stood up and placed one hand over Gu Shishi’s waist and the other one holding her hand.
Gu Shishi, “… … … …”
Suddenly she felt like she was a decrepit.
Qin Ruhai, on the other hand, felt that his role had finally flipped for him. Even his voice was a few notches more cheerful than usual.
“Take some notes. What I am about to say is very important.”
Huo Sishen looked up, “Don’t we need to go to a different department? Go get us a OBYN specialist.”
Qin Ruhai, “… …”
What the heck!
Chapter 434
Gu Jiangxin was happy with that answer. (2)
There was an unofficial rule that one does not share one’s pregnancy news within the first three months.
In addition, most individuals around Gu Shishi were single; she didn’t have anyone to share her joy with for the time being.
Ever since they had walked out of the clinic. The chauffeur, Siyi, and every single worker at the mansion treated this very seriously as though she was a very fragile piece of glass.
Aunty Lin, in particular, dared not stay too far away from her at all.
She would fetch whatever Gu Shishi needed before Gu Shishi had a chance to do so herself.
“Madam, let me know what you will like to have and I will go inform the kitchen.
“You need to be careful and rest in the next two months and should be more careful when you exercise, preferably stopping it altogether for the time being. Don’t worry about gaining weight. I have booked yoga and swimming instructors for you in seven weeks.”
Aunty Lin was experienced in this.
Her daughter had gotten married and left with her husband for business.
She came to work at the Huo’s to fill her free time. That way she would have both company and money.
Huo Sishen was a distant person but he gave his employees the best packages.
That made Aunty Lin truly loyal to him.
Now that the next generation was about to come, she felt more accomplishing than if she was to be a grandmother herself.
She had been telling the kitchen to make what was good for her since before Madam was married.
Not to mention that she had been taking care of Huo Sishen for five years now and had made sure that his body was in top shape.
She was confident that the baby would be a healthy one!
Aunty Lin was very proud. Madam was much better than that sickly Miss and their own young sir was better than that Huo Wencheng!
She smiled a big smile.
“The yoga and swimming instructors will come and have 1-on-1 lesson here with Madam.
“Many celebrities hired the as well. You train with them before your give birth. Not only would that be beneficial for the childbirth but your body would return to its original state quickly. Many madams in this circle are their clients. If Madam feel lonely by yourself, you can always invite someone else to join you.”
Aunty Lin had truly taken it upon herself, to the point that she had everything all prepared without Huo Sishen even having to ask.
Gu Shishi had no experience at all. Now that someone had everything arranged for her, she felt much relieved.
The abruptness and at loss that she had felt at the hospital had been much alleviated.
She didn’t have a mother when she was a child nor did she have a mother-in-law to guide her.
With Aunty Lin there, she had someone to lean on.
Aunty Lin quickly detailed out arrangements for the pre-natal visits, how to remain active but also get enough rest at the same time in the next three months, and even what their baby room would need on a piece of paper.
All of the cosmetics, skincare products, perfume, etc. in the room had been swapped to what were suitable to a pregnant woman.
In fact, Aunty Lin took the liberty to swap her slipper out to the kind with straps.
“Less chances of you tripping this way.
“It’s still early in time. In a few weeks time, I’ll company you to buy some loose clothes.”
Gu Shishi expressed how happy she was.
Her joy of going out had not been taken away from her.
“Okay~”
Huo Sishen, who had been listening in on the conversation the entire time but had not spoken a word, nodded at this point.
“If you see anything that you like, buy a few more.”
“Are you hungry?”
Aunty Lin was taken aback a little. She turned and chuckled dully.
The corner of Gu Shishi’s lips twitched.
They headed over to the hospital after lunch and had a small slice of celebratory cake on their car ride back. Then Aunty Lin fed her a bowl of bird nest soup after they had gotten home.
How could she possibly be hungry!
