Chapter 20. Return
The news that Xu Yulan was unwell spread quickly, and Bai Suihe had received the news before the sun set.

Bai Suihe felt a little strange. Xu Yulan had the best health. She even boasted about it in front of her and Liu Yun. She seldom caught a cold. Unlike them, she was nourished by bird's nest and ginseng, and her health was better than theirs.

"Why does the Second Young Master's wife have a stomachache when she's fine? I've never heard of her having this problem before." Dongmei couldn't help but mutter after hearing the news.

"If you're curious, ask someone to find out more." Although the young lady was bullied everywhere in the mansion, it was easy for the third branch to find out information. Everyone knew that the third branch was generous.

"What's there to ask about? If you have a stomachache, there are only two possibilities: either you have an upset stomach or you have your period." Bai Suihe said casually.

"But this isn't right," Dongmei, who was considered a gossipmonger in the mansion, said, "The Third Young Master's wife doesn't seem to have any of these issues. Could she be pregnant?"

Bai Suihe thought carefully and found that Xu Yulan was not pregnant according to the records in the book. In fact, because she grew up in the countryside, she had the easiest journey in exile, so she often mocked her sister-in-law and herself at this moment.

"I'll go and find out right now. Don't tell me he's up to something bad." Dongmei looked at Bai Suihe after she said that. Seeing that she didn't stop her, she left in a hurry.

But within a moment, he did not come back in a hurry. As soon as he entered the courtyard, his voice was very excited, "Madam San Shao, the Third Young Master is back."

Bai Suihe stood up instantly. Gu Kaiyuan had returned, and it was about time.

"Miss, please slow down." Chunxiang was frightened and quickly supported her, saying, "Miss, please take care of your stomach."

"Why did he come back so soon?" Bai Suihe said unconsciously.

Chunxiang felt something was strange, as the young lady was still talking about it a few days ago.

"It should take another two days," Bai Suihe immediately realized that there was something wrong with what he had just said, "Come on, let's go to the front yard."

Chunxiang, "..." The young lady misses her brother-in-law too much, but this time her brother-in-law seems to be back earlier than usual.

Before reaching the door, I saw a figure appear outside the courtyard gate. His figure was as tall and straight as a pine tree, his eyebrows were as sharp as willows, his eyes were as deep as a pool, and he exuded a faint majesty.

This man is even more handsome than the male god in her mind, but his aura is frightening.

The other two brothers in the Gu family look like weak scholars, but Gu Kaiyuan seems to be an outlier among the brothers. His figure and temperament make him look more like a soldier.

But the sharpness in his eyes, which contained a sense of luck and a hint of strangeness, made Bai Suihe know that her baby was not wrong.

But where does this strange feeling come from? In the book, this guy is a deeply affectionate villain who is so determined to avenge his wife and children that he never remarries.

"Mommy, Daddy is back." The baby, who had hardly made any sound in the past two days, was now screaming excitedly in my ear.

Bai Suihe immediately covered her stomach with both hands. If she remembered correctly, the baby had said before that the other person could also hear the baby's voice.

Bai Suihe stared at Gu Kaiyuan. Although the other party had no expression on his face, Bai Suihe could still catch the doubt in his eyes.

"My husband is back," Bai Suihe took a few steps forward with gritted teeth.

Gu Kaiyuan was already one step ahead of her, stopping her from lowering herself, and said in a somewhat stiff tone, "You're pregnant, don't be so polite."

Dongmei and Chunxiang watched them get along and felt something was strange. In the past, the son-in-law and the daughter would never be so polite to each other.

"All of you, please go down. I need to speak to your Third Young Master's wife." Gu Kaiyuan heard the child's cry, but seeing that the other people in the courtyard looked normal, he said calmly. Everyone in the courtyard knew that every time the Third Young Master returned from an outing, he would want to get along well with his wife.

After everyone left, Bai Suihe returned to the room. She was mentally prepared to have a good talk with Gu Kaiyuan.

"Madam, did you hear the child's cry just now?" The voice was still echoing in his ears. Gu Kaiyuan had already scanned the entire house. This familiar room, which he had not seen for many years, became clear again at this moment.

He was very familiar with this place, and there was no place for children to hide.

"Daddy, it's me," the baby said before Bai Suihe could speak, "I'm in mommy's belly."

Gu Kaiyuan stared straight at Bai Suihe's abdomen, "..." Is this an illusion?

Bai Suihe saw his calm expression and admired his mental strength. He touched his belly with a wry smile and said, "You heard it right. We can all hear the baby's voice."

Bai Suihe took a deep breath and said, "You must have had a hard time coming back. Have some tea first, and then I'll tell you everything in detail."

Bai Suihe poured a cup of scented tea for Gu Kaiyuan, then sat down while holding her stomach.

She told the story slowly, about how she woke up from this body a few days ago, and about what was about to happen in the world of the book, as well as what she had experienced in the past few days, and then she sat quietly aside.

Bai Suihe had thought about hiding it before, but he also knew that a person's behavior could not change drastically.

Even if she had all the memories of the original owner, it was impossible for her to imitate every word and action.

She never dared to underestimate anyone. Rather than hiding it and letting the other party find out, it would be better to speak out now.

Besides, Gu Kaiyuan himself has his own background, and everyone has their own secrets. If there is really a knot in their hearts, the worst that can happen is that they find an opportunity to break up.

Anyway, she has space and can always find a way to escape.

"If you say that, aren't you afraid that I will treat you as a monster?" Gu Kaiyuan clenched his fists. He rushed all the way back home, wanting to see the regrets of his previous life as soon as possible.

But after hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"Daddy, mommy is not a monster, she is the baby's mother." Before Bai Suihe became anxious, the baby in her belly was already anxious.

Bai Suihe saw his deep eyes staring at her abdomen, and was so scared that she quickly covered her abdomen with her hands. "I'm not a monster at all. I don't know why I'm here. You don't have to stare at my baby like that. She's not a monster either."

"Don't think I don't know. You've also been reborn, and we're all in this together. If you dare to hurt us, we'll both be destroyed."

Bai Suihe stared at Gu Kaiyuan fiercely and spoke directly.

Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar face in front of him, in his memory, Bai had the same expression when she was angry. He felt that the shock was a bit too great, and he had to sort it out carefully.

If he can have a fortuitous encounter, then his wife and daughter might too.

"How do you prove you're not her?" He said, pointing to her belly. "The fetus in your belly is only five months old. How can she communicate with us?"
