Gu Ye was confused. "What kind of trouble did you get into?"
As he asked, he had already grabbed his car keys, planning to head to the hospital.
At this moment, Jiang Mo hated that he was as dense as a block of wood. "It's a matter of human life, of course!"
Gu Ye frowned, realizing things were not simple. "Don't panic. Wait for me at the hospital. I'll drive over right now."
"Don't come over. I'm going home now, so just wait for me at home," Jiang Mo stopped him. She stuffed the medical report into her bag and drove home.
Gu Ye waited anxiously at home, feeling that something wasn't quite right as he stared at their text messages.
The two of them getting into trouble... a human life...
Boom! Something exploded in his mind. Could it be what he was thinking? Was Jiang Mo pregnant?
Was he going to be a father?
The more he thought about it, the more certain he became, and the sweeter the thought felt. He couldn't help but laugh out loud on the sofa all by himself.
Then he sent Jiang Mo a message, not knowing if she would see it or not. "Honey, drive slowly. There's no rush."
He attached a sticker of a character massaging someone's shoulders.
By the time Jiang Mo drove back home, Gu Ye was already waiting attentively.
Seeing him smiling so widely that his gums were showing, Jiang Mo knew this guy must have guessed it. She took out the medical report and handed it to him.
"Didn't you say your precautions were very safe? See for yourself."
Gu Ye took it and quickly scanned it. Sure enough, he had guessed right—she was pregnant.
"It might be that the manufacturer's condoms are of bad quality," Gu Ye said with a beaming smile. "We're going to be parents!"
Seeing that Jiang Mo didn't seem too happy, he asked nervously, "Jiang Xiaomo, you aren't thinking of committing murder to silence the little witness, are you?"
Jiang Mo slapped Gu Ye on the back. "Don't talk nonsense. It's not that I don't want it."
"Then why aren't you smiling?"
"Don't even mention it. The baby came as such a surprise, can't I take a moment to process it?"
Heaven knew she was completely unprepared.
"I was wrong. I didn't consider your feelings," Gu Ye said, holding her hand. "Don't worry, I'm here for you."
Jiang Mo felt a bit melancholic. She felt like she was still young herself, so how was she about to become a mother?
Was her wonderful single life going to end just like that?
She touched her belly, although she couldn't feel anything yet.
Fortunately, her relationship with Gu Ye was stable, and they were planning to get married anyway. The baby just arrived a bit ahead of schedule.
They didn't hide the news of Jiang Mo's pregnancy from their two families. By evening, everyone knew.
After waking up the next morning, Gu Ye told her that the wedding date had already been set for next month.
Jiang Mo was dazed. "So fast? When was this decided?"
"Last night," Gu Ye replied. "After finding out you were pregnant, our two families made a group chat and picked the nearest auspicious date."
Madam Su Yunjin said she was worried that if they waited until Jiang Mo's belly got big, she wouldn't look good in a wedding dress. Moreover, they wanted to get the wedding done before the baby was born to avoid any idle gossip.
Wang Xia also agreed. The two women were resolute and swift, hitting it off instantly.
Gu Ye added casually, "We'll take a trip back to the old family estate this afternoon."
Upon returning to the estate, Jiang Mo was showered with care, while Gu Ye was scolded.
Even while being scolded, Gu Ye had a radiant smile on his face. After all, he now had both a wife and a child.
Su Yunjin held Jiang Mo's hand. "Customizing a wedding dress in a little over a month is barely enough time, but we'll make it work. Just let me know what kind of wedding you'd like. As for the invitations and other details, you don't need to worry about a thing. Mom will arrange everything."
Jiang Mo scratched her head. "I haven't really thought about it in detail yet."
"That's alright. Here are some wedding dress designs and wedding plans for you to look at. Tomorrow, I'll have the wedding planner come and discuss it with you," Su Yunjin said.
Gu Baotian chimed in, "Little Mo, just mention any requests you have for the wedding, and Grandpa will satisfy them. Your Grandpa might not have much else, but he definitely has plenty of money."
"Grandpa is so generous!" Gu Ye praised. "Here, Grandpa, have some fruit."
"You're riding high right now, kid," Gu Baotian said. "I'm just waiting for you two to give me a great-granddaughter to play with."
Gu Ye nodded. "Grandpa, you and I are on the same page. Actually, I want a daughter too."
Knowing that the couple was coming back today, Wang Xia had prepared some desserts for them.
Jiang Mo took a look and saw that they were her favorites.
"How is your health right now? Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere?" Wang Xia asked, concerned about her daughter.
Jiang Mo ate the dessert. "Everything else is fine, but sometimes I can't stand certain smells, and I don't have much of an appetite."
"That's normal. When a woman is pregnant and having a baby, her hormones and everything else will change," Wang Xia said. "If need be, I'll go over and take care of you for a while. I'm still a bit worried about you two new parents."
Hearing this, Gu Ye quickly spoke up, "Mom, there's no need. I've already hired two professional nannies."
Hearing that, Wang Xia figured that would work too.
After the couple had dinner and went back home, Huo Nanyin came over to visit and brought a lot of things.
"These are some things I used when I was pregnant and had my baby. They're quite handy, and they are all brand new. I'm preparing them for you in advance; they'll come in handy when the time comes."
"Thank you, Sister-in-law."
"I heard from Mom that your wedding is set for next month. If you need any help, just let me and your eldest brother know."
Jiang Mo nodded. In truth, she was still feeling a bit bewildered by the whole situation, and it hadn't quite sunk in yet.
