The tycoon's wicked wife from the era of literature has been reborn.

After Gao Qinghe finished showering and drying her hair, she went back to her room to sleep.

The next morning, before seven o'clock, Jiang's mother heard noises coming from next door.

The sky has been overcast lately, neither raining nor sunny, and Jiang's mother is taking a rare nap and hasn't gotten up yet.

Anyway, her lazy daughter-in-law won't get up until after 10 o'clock, so there's no rush to make breakfast.

But Jiang's mother never expected that her lazy daughter-in-law would get up earlier than her.

When Jiang's mother finished dressing and came out of the room, Gao Qinghe had already opened the large iron gate and started the van to leave.

Jiang's mother hurriedly asked, "Xiao He, where are you going? It's so early in the morning, aren't you going to eat breakfast?"

Gao Qinghe replied, "I'll go to the city and return the car while I'm there."

After saying that, the car drove away.

Jiang's mother sighed helplessly, followed them to the front gate, watched for a while, then closed the gate and went back inside.

But something felt off; the lazy daughter-in-law was acting very strangely.

Gao Qinghe drove all the way to Huang Yanqiu's house, returned the van to her, and rode her own bicycle into the city.

It was the time when Ouyang Yan was going to school, and Gao Qinghe rode his bicycle past her on foot.

He rode a long way before suddenly stopping and glancing back at Ouyang Yan.

I looked at her stomach.

She's only been pregnant for two months and isn't showing yet.

But she has a different feel from ordinary women.

Gao Qinghe looked down at her stomach, not daring to think too much, and rode directly to the county hospital.

Lock the car and register.

An hour later, after completing the blood and urine tests, the doctor told me to go home and wait for the results, and come back in two days.

These past two days, Gao Qinghe hasn't thought about anything and has stayed home just like before.

But upon closer observation, you'll notice that she no longer opens the refrigerator to find iced soda.

Jiang's mother thought that perhaps they knew about the frozen teeth, so every morning they would boil water and fill the thermos to ensure there was enough hot water.

On Sunday, Gao Qinghe went out early again.

He went to the county hospital alone, picked up his report, and went to see the doctor.

"Congratulations." The doctor smiled at Gao Qinghe.

Seeing no surprise or delight on her face, he suppressed his smile and tentatively asked:
"Should we take it or not?"

Gao Qinghe paused for a moment, then looked up and asked, "Could I take another look at the form?"

The doctor handed her the form, wondering what her reaction was.
As Gao Qinghe looked at the numbers on the form, the corners of her mouth gradually curved upwards.

"Yes, I will." She said firmly.

There's also a sense of relief and satisfaction, as if blessed by the gods.

The doctor smiled helplessly, took back the form, started the procedure, and gave some instructions.

"Your report shows that everything is going well, but you should still be careful in the early stages. Avoid raw and cold foods, do not lift heavy objects, get plenty of rest, and eat more meat, eggs, and dairy products to supplement your nutrition."

"By the way, where are your husband and other family members?"

The doctor looked outside and didn't see any family members who resembled Gao Qinghe, so he asked with concern.

Gao Qinghe said, "They are at work."

She then took out her marriage certificate to prove that she was married and this was her first child.

After leaving the hospital, Gao Qinghe's smile never faded.

In a good mood, she found a small restaurant nearby, ordered a clay pot rice noodle dish with an egg and meat, and ate it to her heart's content.

"Little system, come out and let's make a deal, okay?" Gao Qinghe coaxed in her mind.

The system reluctantly, and with a hint of wariness, asked:
What are you planning to do now?

Gao Qinghe said gently, "I don't need anything, I just hope you can help me monitor my pregnancy at any time without revealing the sex of the fetus."

She took a deep breath, then exhaled slowly, and said, unusually seriously:
"I hope that this time, I can successfully witness the birth of my child."

The system was delighted: [You're willing to cooperate with me on this task?]

Gao Qinghe smiled, "Aren't we already best friends?"

“We’ve been together for so long, I thought we were people we could trust each other.”

"So, little system, you're good to your friends, right?"

"Even if I don't do the mission, you won't take the opportunity to do anything, right?" The system could sense the trust its host placed in it.

But at the same time, because it knows her so well, it can sense the extreme danger hidden beneath her trust.

Her child was her regret, but also one of the most important things in her life.

Yes, just one of them.

Autonomy and freedom are Gao Qinghe's only concerns.

She would sacrifice everything for this.

If the system had a human body, it would surely be shivering and feeling cold all over right now.

"Then can you please stop yelling at me, stop cursing at me, and stop saying things like 'Let's die together'?"

Gao Qinghe smiled gently, "Of course, my good friend."

"Shall I give you a name?" Gao Qinghe asked on a whim.

The system asked expectantly: "What's your name?"

Gao Qinghe countered, "What name do you want to be called?"

Didn't she name it? How can you make it name itself?

The system had never thought of this before and was somewhat bewildered.

Gao Qinghe told it not to rush, to think it over slowly, and to tell itself what it had thought of.

She finished her rice noodles, got up to pay, and then her pager went off.

It was Jiang Baohai calling her.

Just then, she shared the good news of her pregnancy with him.

Gao Qinghe pushed her bicycle to the nearest phone booth and dialed back.

The phone was answered after only one ring, and Jiang Baohai said he was back.

Just as Gao Qinghe was about to mention the definitive result she had received today, Jiang Baohai interrupted:

"Something happened at the mine. I'll go there to handle it first. I might not get home until very late tonight. You go to sleep first."

"I'll surprise you when I get back, mwah, I'm hanging up now."

Gao Qinghe thought to herself that she also had a surprise, but before she could say anything, the other end of the line went off.

Gao Qinghe couldn't believe it; Jiang Baohai had actually hung up on her!
He used to wait for her to hang up first before he would hang up.

What's going on today?

It seems the situation at the mine is quite complicated.

Having lived two lives and seen many ups and downs, Gao Qinghe's heart was not greatly affected.

She hung up the phone speechlessly, and could only wait for Jiang Baohai to come back before telling him the good news of her pregnancy.

Take a deep breath, and your good mood returns.

Gao Qinghe went to buy some food and brought it home.

When I passed by Miaomiao Clothing Store, I hesitated for a moment and decided to wait until I was three months pregnant and my pregnancy was stable before telling my family.

Gao Qinghe doesn't want to talk about her mother-in-law for the time being.

But as soon as she got home, Jiang's mother noticed something was amiss.

"Did you go to the hospital?"

The report wasn't hidden properly, and Jiang's mother saw it.

However, she only knew a few simple and commonly used characters, and Gao Qinghe swiped through the text quickly, so she didn't see any of the content.

Gao Qinghe coughed lightly twice, "Mm."

She tried to brush it off, but Jiang's mother suddenly brought up her experience using the butterfly-shaped sanitary napkins she had given her last time.

Then I asked her, "You haven't had your period yet this month?"

The elders love to keep an eye on these things, and since Jiang Baohai wasn't home, Gao Qinghe threw all her underwear into the washing machine, which was then dried and collected by Jiang's mother.

"Aren't you more than a week late?" Jiang's mother asked tentatively.

Gao Qinghe was numb and collapsed on the sofa, saying:
"Yes, that's right, I'm pregnant, one month along."

Jiang's mother's eyes widened instantly. "Really?!"

Gao Qinghe nodded.

Jiang's mother was so overjoyed she didn't know what expression to make, she just kept spinning around in place, clutching her hands. (End of Chapter)
