Chapter 804: A Unique Package

Three days and four nights was his limit.

He had only managed to endure for so long, holding onto the belief that she would be back soon.

Qin Shu was seven months pregnant, and her stomach was quite large. When Fu Tingyu held her, he tried not to press against her belly.

What are you doing here? Dont you have work to do? Fu Tingyus unforeseen appearance was a pleasant surprise.

My wife is back. Isnt it natural for me to pick her up? Fu Tingyu kissed Qin Shus forehead lovingly in response to her question.

No one but Shi Yan knew that his Young Master had rushed over from the office upon receiving Ye Luos call. He had been waiting for her at the airfield all this while.

Qin Shu giggled, a high, lilting sound like that of a bell.

Gu Yan poked his head out of the cabin. His eyes were red and raw from the sight of the two love birds together.

It felt like he was intruding on a pair of lovers, reunited after a long separation.

Green with envy, Gu Yan cursed his luck. He should have stayed on board the jet and waited for the couple to take their leave before disembarking.

Fu Tingyu cradled Qin Shu in his arms for what seemed like an age. As if making up for the time they were apart, he whisked her off her feet and into a bridal carry. Their destination? Bright Garden.

Watching the two of them depart, Gu Yan could not help but grumble in his heart. Whoever said women were like clothes, as fickle as the latest trends, or that men were brothers for life must not have known what they were saying.

It was complete and utter nonsense!

As soon as Qin Shu got off the plane, Fu Tingyu had no eyes for anyone else but her. He did not even spare him a glance.

Despite feeling aggrieved, Gu Yan hurried after the beau and his dame.

He still needed to perform his routine check of Qin Shus pulse. It was a good idea to do in Fu Tingyus presence. Knowing that man, he would not feel at ease unless he could ascertain the results for himself.

Caution was not unwarranted since Qin Shu was seven months pregnant.

By the time Gu Yan caught up with them, Fu Tingyu had already deposited Qin Shu on the couch, pouring her a cup of water.

Gu Yan was by Qin Shus side in a heartbeat, her hand in his as he checked her pulse.

Fu Tingyu held two cups. He placed one cup in front of his wife and the other in front of Gu Yan. He then sat down beside his wife, awaiting Gu Yans verdict.

Once Gu Yan released her hand, he asked, How is it?

Gu Yan smiled and said, Nothing seems amiss with her pulse. The baby is healthy.

Seeing that Gu Yan had not understood his question clearly, Fu Tingyu emphasised, Im asking how my wife is. Is she alright?

She is healthy, but I would recommend that she lays off on her sugar intake. It wont do her any good. Not only would it cause excessive weight gain in the child, but it could also result in several undesirable consequences.

Qin Shu was a little embarrassed when she heard Gu Yans report. She had been trying to restrict her sugar intake. In fact, she was not eating as many cakes or sweets as she had before.

Immediately, Fu Tingyu turned to Qin Shu and said, For the next few months, you arent allowed to eat anything with an excessive amount of sugar.

What else could she say?

Resigned to her fate, Qin Shu gave her assent.

I should head back too. Im developing a new drug, and itll need a lot of time and energy. Call me if you need anything. Gu Yan chimed in.

Gu Yan spent most of his time researching drugs. It was a hobby and talent of his.

Fu Tingyu firmly believed that talent was hereditary.

A son of Wen Shangyue could not possibly be bereft of talent in the art of medicine. As for why his surname was not Wen but Gu, Fu Tingyu had always wanted to know.

Yet, an opportunity to ask Gu Yan this question never arose. He would always cut him off with an exclamation of how unexpected it was for him to pay a visit.

Had she not been in such a hurry upon her arrival in the capital, Qin Shu would have paid Ye Xue a visit at Imperial College.

Ye Xue was all alone now that she, Jiang Yu, Fu Tingyan, and Bao Ye were no longer in the capital.

At this moment, in the capital

Ye Xue spent almost all her time studying, spending most of her free time in the library.

Her grades had improved by leaps and bounds.

For the sake of not attracting unnecessary trouble, she chose an unfashionable pair of glasses to downplay her looks.

She did not care if others thought it was old-fashioned.

The only person who shared a good relationship with her was probably Zhou Yizuo.

She continued to live in the apartment. For a long time, she was the only inhabitant of that apartment. Later, for reasons unknown to her, Zhou Yizuo also moved in.

It was strange that no one else moved in along with him.

Ye Xue would eat in the schools cafeteria after completing all her lessons for the day, returning to her apartment as soon as she filled her belly.

She was familiar with every corner of the school, but none more so than the route back to her apartment.

The journey back always reminded her of the day she and Jiang Yu held each others hands.

Winter

The first thing she did upon her return was to head to her room and finish her homework.

Before she could engross herself in her work, a knock sounded at her door.

Dong Dong

It took her a while to realise someone was looking for her. Putting down her pen, Ye Xue opened the door.

She and Zhou Yizuo lived in the same apartment. Even if she did not open the door, she knew who was knocking.

Zhou Yizuo stood outside her room with a package in his hand. He passed it over to her.

I found this package at our doorstep. Since it is addressed to you, I decided to bring
