Chapter 261: A Slightly Bulging Abdomen
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In the second half of the year, Shen Yanqing came to the capital more and more often and stayed there a few times.
Huasheng had a branch in the capital. Every time Nan Ge urged him to go back, he would stay on the grounds of work.
Actually, Nan Ge knew that he just wanted to spend more time with her.
Hence, as soon as the holidays ended at the end of the year, Nan Ge flew back to Huai City without stopping. She did not stay in the capital for as long as last year.
As New Year approached, Nan Ge returned to Jiang City. She was picked up by Shen Yanqing after staying for less than two days.
When they left, Nan Zhe was still cursing.
It looked like she did not want to see Shen Yanqing again.
On the way back, Nan Ge kept sending messages to Nan Zhe, trying to comfort the irritable husky. “She went back on the second day of the Lunar New Year.
It’s onlv been two davs.”
After comforting brother, she finally had the time to ask Shen Yanqing,
“What happened at home?”
If there was nothing wrong, Shen Yanqing would not bring her back so suddenly.
Shen Yanqing looked ahead and drove seriously. He paused for a moment before saying, “Uncle’s family is back.”
“Oh.” Nan Ge nodded. Then she should go back.
However, it shouldn’t be that simple, right? His uncle and aunt were very considerate. They wouldn’t specially ask her to go back.
As expected, a few seconds later, she heard Shen Yanqing say, “My younger cousin is back too. He brought his girlfriend with him.”
“Huh?” Nan Ge turned around. “When did he get a girlfriend?”
His younger cousin had only graduated from university for half a year. She had never heard of him having a girlfriend before.
Most importantly, even if they only started dating after graduation, it had only been less than half a year. To bring her home to meet her parents and elders in such a short period of time… Did this mean that they were getting married?
“I’m not sure. I didn’t have time to ask. Dad called me. After explaining the situation, he asked me to pick you up first.”
As a member of the Shen family, Nan Ge naturally could not be absent.
Like Nan Ge, Shen Yanqing was also confused.
When the two of them arrived at the Shen family and saw their younger cousin and girlfriend, they finally knew what was going on.
On the sofa, the younger cousin introduced them to the girl with a slightly bulging abdomen. “These are my brother and sister-in-law.”
The girl got up with him and greeted Shen Yanqing and Nan Ge.
Shen Yanqing nodded. Nan Ge was stunned for a moment before her gaze swept across the girl’s stomach. She came back to her senses and smiled.
“Hello, hello. I’m Nan Ge.”
After dinner, Nan Ge followed Auntie Wang upstairs. Only then did she have the chance to gossip.
“Mom, my younger cousin, and his girlfriend…”
Auntie Wang closed the door and took out some Chinese medicine she had prepared for her. As she spoke, she said, “I heard that they met at work. She got pregnant out of wedlock. Young people are a little impulsive.”
“How many months has it been? Her stomach can even be seen.”
“It should be four to five months, right? I heard that the parents of both parties have already met. Didn’t they specially come back together for the New Year this time? They should register their marriage after the New Year. Depending on the situation, the wedding will have to wait after the child is born.”
As she spoke, Auntie Wang pointed at the bag. “I’ve written down the instructions for consuming each one. It’s good for your health. Look at you. You just came back during the Mid-Autumn Festival. It’s only been a few months since we last met. Why have you lost so much weight?”
“If it really doesn’t work out, I’ll go to the capital to stay with you for half a year after the New Year. I’ll take good care of you.”
Yes, Nan Ge would graduate in half a year.
“No need, no need.” Nan Ge waved her hand. “I eat well. The maid usually cooks at home, and I occasionally go to Little Uncle’s house to freeload. I ate as much as usual, and I didn’t deliberately lose weight.”
The two of them did not chat for long before they went downstairs together.
Nan Ge stood on the stairs on the second floor and looked down. She immediately saw her younger cousin’s girlfriend.
A little girl in her early twenties was about to become a mother.
Nan Ge looked at her for a long time, but she could not tell what she was feeling.
Auntie Wang took a few steps down and realized that Nan Ge was not following her, so she turned around to look.
Seeing standing at the back in a daze, Auntie Wang followed her gaze and looked downstairs. She instantly understood.
At night, Nan Ge went back to the bedroom early to take a bath.
Shen Yanqing chatted with the elders for a while before returning to his room.
“Hey, Yanqing.” Auntie Wang brought a glass of milk from the corner. “Here, take it up with you.”
This was for Nan Ge.
Shen Yanqing thanked her.
He turned to leave, but he saw Auntie Wang’s hesitant expression.
“Auntie Wang, is there anything else?”
Seeing that there was still someone in the living room, Auntie Wang gestured for him to come over. The two of them walked to the kitchen one after another.
“It’s like this. I didn’t want to ask about this, and I shouldn’t have. However, I also want to understand what you and Youyou think. Don’t think too much about it.”
“It’s okay. Just ask.”
“Uh, Auntie wants to know if you and Youyou have talked about having children.
Auntie Wang was a little reserved.
Shen Yanqing frowned slightly. “No, but we don’t have this plan for the time being. ”
“In other words, you actually didn’t ask Youyou for her opinion?”
“I guess.” She was still studying and had just started work. It was impossible to do this anytime soon.
That was why the two of them did not talk in depth.
Auntie Wang said, “Didn’t Little Zhi bring his girlfriend over today? I saw Youyou staring at Little Zhi’s girlfriend’s stomach. I think Youyou has similar thoughts, right?”
Perhaps feeling that he could not understand, Auntie Wang quickly explained.
“I’m not saying that Youyou definitely wants a baby too. I’m just reminding you to pay attention to her emotions at this time. If you think she has any signs, you have to talk to her quickly.”
“Of course, it doesn’t matter if she does or not. Her heart must be fluctuating at this moment. You have to pay more attention. Girls are more emotional.” “I understand.” Shen Yanqing was smart and understood immediately. “Thank you, Auntie.”
“It’s fine, it’s fine. Go up. The milk will turn cold soon.”
“Uh huh.”
When Shen Yanqing returned to the bedroom, Nan Ge was still taking a bath.
After waiting for a while, he knocked on the bathroom door to remind Nan Ge that it was time to come out.
Nan Ge would always doze off when she took a bath.
Nan Gels voice came from inside. “I’ll be done soon.”
Her tone was muffled. It was obvious that she must have fallen asleep again.
After a few minutes, Nan Ge ran out in a bathrobe.
Shen Yanqing handed her the milk and dried her hair.
Taking advantage of this time, he carefully thought about Auntie Wang’s words just now and thought about how to find a suitable excuse to start this topic.
In short, he could not ask directly.
However, before he could prepare himself, Nan Ge took the initiative to mention it. “In that case, by the time I graduated from graduate school, your cousin’s child would have already been born. We clearly got married first… Do you think our progress is too slow, or are they too fast?”
When she graduated from graduate school, it would be almost the second anniversary of her marriage to Shen Yanqing.
In plan, she had not thought about giving birth yet..
