The longed-for village system

Chapter 440 Call Me Dad?
The next day, although Ya Ya and Qin Qin were reluctant to leave, their work forced them to go. Of course, the two girls repeated the same scene as yesterday, hugging Chen Qing and telling him that they would miss them.

Ya Ya's agent was not surprised at all. In her heart, Ya Ya was Chen Qing's woman. Although Ya Ya had never admitted it, she had never denied it either. She was not surprised by Ya Ya's love for home.

After so many years together, she understands Ya Ya's personality very well. She is truly the kind of good woman who takes care of her family and manages the household well. Perhaps it won't be long before her focus shifts completely to her family.

Compared to Ya Ya's manager's composure, Xiao Ju's manager was much more excited and curious. She never dreamed that she would become a married woman just because she missed accompanying her artist once.

"Xiao Ju, tell me, are you really dating Brother Chen? I'm your manager, you can't hide this from me."

Ju Jingyi wasn't surprised at all by her manager's inquiry. The rumors about her and her sisters and Brother Chen had been trending for so long, and she was quite surprised that her manager had waited until today to ask her about it. If she hadn't been asked soon, she would have suspected that she had been replaced.

"Not yet, but I think it will be soon."

Xiao Ju didn't hide anything. She trusted her agent, and of course, she believed even more in Xiao Chen's abilities. As long as her agent wasn't stupid, she would know how to make the right choice. Clearly, this agent was exceptionally shrewd; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to rise to the top tier in just a few years.

"Okay, I wouldn't support you dating anyone else, let alone getting married. But it's an exception with Brother Chen. Xiao Ju, you'd better hurry up and have one or two children for Brother Chen while you're still young. That way, your position in the family will be secure."

Seeing her manager's change in attitude, Xiao Ju was speechless. "I say, sister, your attitude changed too quickly! And you're being too hypocritical! Other men are no good, but Brother Chen wants me to have children while I'm young?"

"You're still young and don't understand. Xiao Gu is Brother Chen's first woman, and she holds an extraordinary position in his heart. Besides, she's pregnant with Brother Chen's child now. In ancient times, she would be the empress. You, Ya Ya, Shi Shi, and Qin Qin are the ones who joined later. If you want to win Brother Chen's favor, you have to work hard. I don't need to teach you the idiom 'a mother's status depends on her son,' do I?"

Although her agent's words made her a little shy, she didn't deny it. If she were to become pregnant with Little Chen's child, her status and position would definitely change. At least in the eyes of outsiders, her status as Mrs. Chen Qing would be real.

As for vying for favor? She never thought about it from the beginning. She was prepared to share Xiao Chen's love with her sisters when she joined. Moreover, Xiao Chen's abilities are not something a single woman can handle. The fact that Sister Xiao Gu accepted them all to join is the best proof of that.

After seeing the two off, Chen Qing and Zhao Xiaogu returned to the Mushroom House. Once inside the courtyard, Chen Qing asked Zhao Xiaogu, "Will Sister Chen be back today? Xiaogu, why don't you call and ask?"

Neither of them knows how to cook, so Ya Ya made breakfast. If Sister Chen doesn't come back today, they'll have to make lunch and dinner.

"Okay, I'll call Sister Chen now and ask. It probably won't be that soon. Sister Chen left in a hurry yesterday." Zhao Xiaogu shrugged after finishing the call. "Sister Chen said she still has some things to take care of, and she might not be back until tomorrow afternoon."

"Okay! Shall we eat at the hospital for lunch?"

Chen Qing offered Zhao Xiaogu a suggestion: neither of them knew how to cook, so it wasn't practical for them to prepare meals themselves. As for eating at villagers' homes, that was even more inconvenient, given their different circumstances now, and Chen Qing was no longer at an age where he couldn't support himself. The best option was to eat at the hospital cafeteria or order takeout. Ultimately, Zhao Xiaogu decided to go to the hospital with Chen Qing, hoping to try out the food there. After all, she'd be bored at home alone if Chen Qing went to the hospital.

Since the two weren't in a hurry, and Zhao Xiaogu also walks every day for exercise, they strolled leisurely to the hospital. Of course, they encountered many villagers and tourists along the way, but that didn't stop them from chatting as they walked.

"Brother Chen, you're amazing! With so many of your fans, they all tacitly greet you without crowding around you. This national model fan group truly lives up to its name."

Speaking of this, Zhao Xiaogu felt a little envious. She thought her fans were already quite well-mannered, and even those who liked her a lot wouldn't cause her too much trouble. However, compared to Chen Qing's group of fans, she felt ashamed. They were the only ones in the whole country who could do that.

"There's nothing I can do, it's just my personal charm! Your husband is just that charming." Chen Qing smugly boasted a little.

Zhao Xiaogu smiled and tacitly agreed to Chen Qing's arrogance, but at the same time she also boasted, "Even so, you still fell for me, which means I'm more charming."

"Really? Who's really falling to whom here? It always seems like you're the one begging for mercy!"

Seeing Chen Qing calmly and smilingly discussing their private matters, Zhao Xiaogu's fair face flushed slightly. She reached out and gently twisted Chen Qing's waist, giving him a sidelong glance.

Honestly, she really dares to say anything, and she's still out here! If everyone hears her, how will she ever be able to face anyone again!
Let him gloat for a few days now, and when Ya Ya and Shi Shi come in, he'll truly understand what the terror of women is. They'll drain him dry so he won't be able to get out of bed and she, Zhao Xiaogu, will call him "Dad."

Of course, the couple's quiet conversations would be perceived by passersby as them whispering sweet nothings, which is a natural and normal occurrence for newlyweds.

Upon arriving at the hospital, Chen Qing did not ask anyone to arrange for him to see other patients. Instead, he took Zhao Xiaogu to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a checkup. Zhao Xiaogu had not had a comprehensive checkup since becoming pregnant. Although Chen Qing was confident that he had the ability to ensure the safety of Zhao Xiaogu and her baby, it would be good for Zhao Xiaogu to have a direct look at the baby in her belly through the instruments.

This was something Zhao Xiaogu brought up earlier. She naturally trusted Chen Qing's abilities, but she had never seen what her baby looked like, and she wanted to use an instrument to see it, preferably to know the baby's gender clearly.

Although she kept saying the child was a girl, that was just her dream, plus she and her husband both liked girls, so they subconsciously felt that way. Whether it really was a girl or not, they would have to check the instruments to find out.

In fact, Zhao Xiaogu didn't know that Chen Qing later admitted that the child was a girl because he had clearly diagnosed it by taking the child's pulse. At the beginning, when the embryo was just developing, he couldn't confirm it, but after three months, he knew the child's gender clearly.
