Chapter 2316: Chapter 2317: Maternal Love

Seeing the two pink lines on Ji Qingyan’s pregnancy test.

Song Lan covered her chest, looking utterly shocked.

“You silly girl, you scared me to death, this is great news, why are you crying?”

“I just can’t believe it.”

Ji Qingyan smiled through her tears, feeling genuine joy for the little life not yet formed inside her belly.

At this moment, Lin Yi realized that Ji Qingyan and Liang Ruoxu’s reactions to the pregnancy news were entirely opposite.

Although Liang Ruoxu wasn’t opposed to it, she didn’t show the same excited joy as Ji Qingyan did.

She just felt like it wasn’t quite the right time.

Even if Liang Ruoxu came from a much wealthier family background than Ji Qingyan.

But people from the compound are very down-to-earth, and just like any ordinary family, they have to deal with many trivialities of daily life.

In contrast, Liang Ruoxu seemed more like a child from an ordinary family, and this was evident in her attitude towards children.

For Ji Qingyan, however, pregnancy and childbirth were things she had never encountered before; she had rarely even seen them.

Because of this, she felt much more excited than Liang Ruoxu.

“My dear girl, let me tell you, things are different now, you can’t work so hard anymore, just let Lin Yi take care of work matters. From now on, you just stay home and rest,” Song Lan said earnestly.

“Get some sleep early today, and tomorrow the two of us will go to the hospital for a check-up to see what the doctor says.”

“Mom, take it easy.”

After a brief moment of excitement, Ji Qingyan calmed down.

“It’s just the beginning; don’t be so nervous. Tomorrow, I’ll have Tao Yuan accompany me to the hospital.”

“That’s fine. Tao Yuan is meticulous, and with her looking after you, I’ll be at ease.”

Ji Qingyan nodded, placing her hands on her flat abdomen, as if feeling the pulse of that little life.

“Alright, let’s not sit around anymore. You should go rest. The early stages of pregnancy are the most unstable, so make sure to get enough sleep.”

Ji Qingyan nodded again, her voice and demeanor much softer.

Song Lan and Ji Qingyan went upstairs together, while Lin Yi went to the bathroom to wash up, then also returned to the bedroom.

Seeing Lin Yi come back, Song Lan gave a few reminders and then left the room, creating some privacy for the couple.

After getting into bed, Ji Qingyan’s big eyes stared straight at Lin Yi.

“Don’t you think this whole thing is magical?”

“Magical?” Lin Yi paused. “Isn’t getting pregnant and having children just like that?”

“I’m not talking about that.”

Ji Qingyan covered her chest, as if trying to calm her excited heart.

“In a few months, I’m going to be a mom, I think that’s really magical.”

Lin Yi was stunned by Ji Qingyan’s words.

This was something he had never considered before.

He was going to be a father soon.

It was an experience Lin Yi had yet to comprehend.

But seeing Ji Qingyan, Lin Yi suddenly realized that this might indeed be a magical thing.

And her affectionate look was something he hadn’t seen in over three years.

Ji Qingyan, who used to love sleep, stayed up past 1 a.m. that night, looking at baby products.

Previously it was for Ning Yue; now, it was for herself.

The next morning, Lin Yi hadn’t woken up yet when he heard He Yuanyuan’s chirpy voice.

After entering the room, she lifted Lin Yi’s quilt.

“Do you even respect me as your leader?”

Lin Yi cursed, wishing he could kick her out of the window.

“What time is it already, and you’re still sleeping. Can’t you be a little more responsible?”

Facing Lin Yi in just his underwear, He Yuanyuan felt not the slightest discomfort.

As if she was facing her own boyfriend.

“It’s just past seven, why the hell should I be up so early?”

“You should stop sleeping either way, later you have to take us to the hospital. We have an appointment for a checkup today, and we’ll probably have to line up.”

“Line up my ass, we’ll just go find the head of the hospital. Mention my name, I want to see who’d dare make you wait in line.”

“That won’t do either, you have to drive us there.”

“Alright, Yuanyuan…”

Ji Qingyan walked in from outside, “It’s just a checkup, it’s not a big deal. Why do you need him to tag along?”

“He’s going to be a father, of course, it’s only natural for him to come.”

“That’s really not necessary,” Ji Qingyan said:

“Actually, I don’t feel anything at the moment, and I wouldn’t feel at ease with him going either, just you accompanying me is fine.”

“Then alright.”

He Yuanyuan raised her chin, “Go back to sleep then.”

“Damn it! You’ve already flipped my blanket off; how the fuck am I supposed to sleep?”

Lin Yi got up impatiently, got dressed, and after washing up, they all had breakfast together.

The conversation during the meal mostly revolved around Ji Qingyan.

After all, she is now a critically protected animal.

“Yuanyuan, you and Gao have been together for quite some time, right? You should hurry up with some things too.”

“We’re not in a rush. We want to wait a bit longer, wait until your child is born to gain some experience. I’ll come and learn from you, then plan for a baby.”

“That works too since you’re a few years younger than Yanyan, waiting another year or two is fine.” Song Lan said with a smile:

“When the time comes, if your two families each have a boy and a girl, we should set up a children’s betrothal, keep the good genes flowing.”

“Hehe, that’s what my instructor and I thought too.”

“You two would be best having sons; then someday, I’ll let my son beat up your son,” Lin Yi said.

“Then I will beat you to death with my high heels.”

“By the way, the Gao family doesn’t favor sons over daughters, do they?” Song Lan asked with concern.

“That’s not the case, I’ve made it clear that regardless of the child’s gender, we’re only having one; whatever the Gao family thinks is their business.”

Lin Yi curled his lip, thinking that Song Lan’s concern was not without reason.

After all, the backgrounds of both individuals are worlds apart.

In front of the Gao family, He Yuanyuan did not have the upper hand, and within big clans, boys are indeed highly valued.

However, with He Yuanyuan’s capabilities, she fully matches up with the Gao family.

Or perhaps, with the scale of the Gao family’s industries, they wouldn’t even be able to fully unleash her potential.

“I think it’s better for you two to have a son,” Lin Yi said.

“Why do you have that idea too?”

“Boys generally resemble their mothers more; if you have a daughter with a brain like Gao’s, that would be a real headache.”

“Haha…”

He Yuanyuan burst out laughing, “That’s the most sensible thing you’ve said today.”

With that, a simple breakfast ended amidst laughter and chatter.

Lin Yi initially wanted to go with Ji Qingyan, but she stopped him.

She felt that private matters like this were better discussed with He Yuanyuan, and she was somewhat embarrassed to discuss them with Lin Yi.

So Lin Yi didn’t follow; instead, he drove to the Xinshan branch office.

But on the way to the branch office, he received a call from Luo Qi.

“Lin Bro, we’re on the way to the airport, will be in Zhong Hai soon.”
