When Mrs Gu heard that Gu Yu Cheng and Su Rui were coming home for dinner tonight, she was overjoyed.

After New Years Eve, Gu Yu Chengs father left again.

Before Su Rui started school, he stayed at home for a couple of days. Therefore, Mrs Gu didnt find it too boring.

Originally, she had thought that with Su Rui starting school and Gu Yu Cheng being busy, she would not be able to see the two children for a long time.

However, she didnt expect Gu Yu Cheng to call her home this afternoon, saying that they wanted to have dinner at her house.

Hearing that Su Rui wanted to eat her sweet pastry, Yu Jing began preparing them in the afternoon.

Not just the sweet pastry, Yu Jing also prepared several other virtual sensation sweets that she had recently seen in videos and was learning to make.

Ignoring Gu Yu Cheng, who was quietly peeling an orange next to her, Yu Jing enthusiastically shared her experience of making the virtual sensation sweets with Su Rui, Theres one that blooms automatically, and it took me a long time to figure out that its made from marshmallows,

Looking at Su Ruis scintillating eyes when she heard about the desserts, Mrs Gu smiled and said, It would take some time before dinner is served. Should I let you try these two first?

Mm. Okay. Su Rui also nodded unceremoniously and got up and was about to help Yu Jing.

Ill go. Gu Yu Cheng stopped Su Rui, got up and followed Yu Jing to the kitchen.

This person is really so different after getting married Yu Jing joked while looking at the very self-conscious Gu Yu Cheng and raised her eyebrows.

This and this, help me to take out for me. Well eat them before dinner. Yu Jing said. Suddenly, she remembered something and added, Also, theres a matcha cake in the freezer you can take out for Rui Rui.

Girls at her age seem to like matcha tea.

Cold? Gu Yu Cheng asked.

Ice cream cake, of course its cold.

Dont give her this.

Hearing Gu Yu Chengs words, Mrs Gu was a little surprised.

Eh, whats wrong? A cold, or

Rui Rui is pregnant.

Preg

What did you say? Mrs Gu turned her head at once and looked at Gu Yu Cheng with wide eyes as she asked, Rui Rui is pregnant?!

En.

It was only after a moment of surprise that Mrs Gu came back to her senses and glared at Gu Yu Cheng.

Gu Yu Cheng!

What do you want me to say to you?

What did I tell you before, huh? Rui Rui is only 21. She still has to attend school. How exactly did this happen?

It was unplanned. Gu Yu Cheng said truthfully.

I know it was unplanned, but how did it happen? Cant you just pay attention to yourself?

What did you promise before? What did you tell Rui Rui? What did you promise in front of both of your elders?!

Do you know how much the pregnancy affects a woman? Mrs Gu scolded at Gu Yu Cheng as she glared at him. She almost tugged on his arm and gave him two blows.

Not to mention the physical aspect, but also the time it takes to go from pregnancy to birth, to confinement period, and then to bring up the child, it all takes a lot of time and energy.

Thats why she and Liu Yue had agreed to wait for Rui Rui to graduate before considering having grandchildren, even though Gu Yu Cheng was already 27 and almost 28.

How far is she in?

I think it was during New Years Eve.

Thats almost five weeks.

Mrs Gus eyes lit up, and then she got nervous again.

How is the situation? Did you go to the hospital for tests? What did the doctor say?

Only the HCG test was done, everything is normal at the moment. After a pause, looking at the concern on Mrs Gus face, Gu Yu Cheng added, Rui Rui is also in good shape.

Thats good. Upon hearing those words, Mrs Gu nodded her head.

Thinking of the time Su Rui became pregnant, she glared at Gu Yu Cheng once again, Look at you, its alright to do whatever you two want to at your own house. But likeIt was New Years? Andthe elders were present?Its just a few daysand you cant even endure it?

Seeing Mrs Gu lecturing himself with a stern face while the surprise and excitement in her eyes could barely be hidden, Gu Yu Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly but admitted his mistake sincerely.

It was a mistake on my part.

It was. Yu Jing rolled her eyes.

She had always thought that her son was mature and reliable enough, and he was a few years older than Su Rui, so he should have a sense of propriety in everything.

Who knew (hmph) he was also so unreliable?

After her anger subsided a bit, Mrs Gus heart was now full of surprise and she couldnt help but ask, Has Rui Rui agreed to keep this child?

She knew her own son well enough.

If the two didnt want the baby, Gu Yu Cheng would have accompanied Su Rui to the hospital for the operation and wouldnt have come to tell her about it.

So, these two should have decided to keep this child, right? With this thought, Mrs Gu became excited again.

En.

Hearing Gu Yu Chengs response, the corners of Mrs Gus mouth lifted and she gave another light snort, Hmph, I dont care about you this time, on your father-in-law and mother-in-laws side, youll have to go and take the blame and seek forgiveness yourself.

Food that is cold could not be eaten, especially in this season.

Right, clams are also cool in nature, right? Ill think of something for Rui Rui.

What are you still standing here for? These two, serve them out to your wife. Mrs Gu pointed to the two plates of dim sum and shooed Gu Yu Cheng out of the kitchen.

She began to mumble to herself.

Five weeks, thats a while before the initial checkup and the registration of a card[1], but we have to get ready for that too

No, I still have to discuss with Liu Yue.

[1] This is in relation to pregnancy. The card consists of small or big cards. For small cards, it is a perinatal health care manual. It is to be registered with the neighbourhood committee, and then registered in the hospital where the household registration is under. The small card is kept by the mother herself. For the big cards, it refers to the establishment of a file and usually kept by the hospital. It records the specific details of pregnancy and the big card is handled by the hospital that the mother is going to give birth at. By registering a card, mothers can enjoy the reimbursement of maternity insurance. Credits: baike.pcbaby and Zhuanlan.zhihu
