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

"Does Xiaohai know? Did you tell him?"

"He's back. He just called you but you weren't home."

Jiang's mother bombarded her with questions, wishing the whole village could share in her joy.

Gao Qinghe calmly said, "I called him back, but before I could tell him, he hung up. I'll talk to him when he gets back."

After thinking for a moment, Gao Qinghe instructed her mother-in-law not to talk about it everywhere and to wait until things were more stable before speaking about it.

Jiang's mother nodded hurriedly: "I understand, I understand. Don't worry, only our family knows. I won't say anything."

"Then, I'll go make you something to eat! You sit and watch TV, and rest well."

Jiang's mother excitedly ran to the kitchen, rummaged through drawers and cupboards to take out all the good things she had hidden away, thinking about what delicious and nutritious food she could make for her daughter-in-law.

Overjoyed, she ran to the living room again, circled Gao Qinghe three times, and carefully and excitedly touched Gao Qinghe's arm to confirm that it wasn't a dream before returning to the kitchen to continue her work.

Gao Qinghe's lips twitched slightly after being inexplicably caressed. She picked up a twisted dough stick, took a bite, and crunched it down!
It doesn't feel so bad that my mother-in-law found out beforehand.

Today is Weekly, and since the school holiday is too short, Jiang Yu didn't go home.

Dinner was just the two of them, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, but Jiang's mother prepared a huge feast.

Before the meal, he specially offered incense to the ancestors and talked for a long time while looking at Jiang's father's photo.

Thinking about the upcoming birth of a baby in the family, Jiang's mother was so happy that tears almost fell from her eyes.

After enduring so many years alone, I finally feel that I have fulfilled my responsibilities as a mother and have done right by Jiang Baohai's deceased father.

When Gao Qinghe was pregnant in her previous life, her mother-in-law had already passed away. When she learned that she was pregnant, the first person she told was not her husband, but her mother.

Back then, her mother bought cookies and incense, and prayed along all the paths her daughter often took, hoping for a safe and secure journey.

Unfortunately, the joy didn't last long. Amidst the anticipation of all their relatives and friends, the baby was lost.

Gao Qinghe didn't believe in gods or Buddhas, but at this moment she still lit three incense sticks and bowed three times to the Jiang family ancestors.

After offering incense, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law finally sat down to eat.

Jiang's mother kept putting food on her plate, and Gao Qinghe kept eating.

I don’t know if it was just psychological, but I had a big appetite and ate half a bowl more than usual.

Watching her eat heartily, Jiang's mother felt full, her heart overflowing with contentment.

"What do you want to eat tomorrow? Mom will make it for you."

After the meal, Jiang's mother tidied up while asking her questions with concern, feeling that these ordinary days had suddenly become particularly hopeful.

Gao Qinghe rubbed her slightly full stomach, feeling helpless at her mother-in-law's excitement.

"Just do it the same as usual."

Jiang's mother responded with a "yes," but in her heart she was thinking, "How can it be the same as usual?"

Now I'm eating for two.

Her mother-in-law clearly wasn't listening to her, but Gao Qinghe didn't mind. She watched TV for a while and then went back to her room to sleep.

In a daze, I heard the sound of the iron gate outside the courtyard being opened, and I was startled.

The system said: "Your husband is back."

Gao Qinghe was stunned for a moment before she remembered that Jiang Baohai had already returned to Qing County today.

"What time is it?" Gao Qinghe asked.

The system replied: 【3:45 AM.】

It's so late already?
Having just slept through the night, Gao Qinghe turned on the bedside lamp, its soft light illuminating the small space.

Just as she was about to get up, the door was gently pushed open from the outside.

A cold wind, carrying a familiar scent, swept into the room.

Upon seeing Jiang Baohai standing outside the door, Gao Qinghe's heart skipped a beat, and she felt an urge to cry from missing him so much.

The man's cold and stern face softened instantly when he saw the warm light in the room and the person sitting on the edge of the bed.

"I told you to go to sleep first, why are you still waiting for me?"

This is really a beautiful misunderstanding.

Gao Qinghe smiled, offering no explanation, and simply extended her hands to him.

"Hug." Jiang Baohai chuckled, closed the door, put down his suitcase, took off his coat which had been chilled by the wind, walked to the bedside, and embraced her.

"Have you missed me?"

He kissed her forehead, his eyes fixed on hers, not wanting to miss any of her reactions.

Gao Qinghe kissed him on the lips; it was cool and tasted like mint.

I've been busy until so late, and I haven't even had time to wash off the dust of my journey, so I'll just chew on a piece of candy first, lest I be disliked if I get too close to someone.

Sure enough, the next second Gao Qinghe started twitching her pert nose, sniffing here and there on him.

No matter how faint the murky smell of smoke is, it can still be detected.

Seeing Gao Qinghe's eyes narrow with displeasure, Jiang Baohai leaned on her shoulder.

"I'm so tired and sleepy, honey. Have pity on your husband."

Gao Qinghe was both amused and exasperated. She pushed the heavy person on her shoulder up and said, "Go change into your pajamas."

Jiang Baohai smiled triumphantly, cupped his wife's face and kissed her on both sides, then pecked her lips before getting up to change his clothes.

After changing into his pajamas, he hugged Gao Qinghe and rolled onto the bed.

"Go to sleep!" Gao Qinghe warned in a low voice.

Jiang Bao turned off the lights, hugged her, and said with a hint of grievance, "I didn't mean to do anything else, I just missed you, I missed you so much, I missed you to death."

But as long as he held her, his empty heart could be satisfied.

A short while later, Gao Qinghe felt the person behind her fall asleep.

Her drowsiness returned, and the couple fell into a deep sleep, embracing each other.

Jiang Baohai woke up earlier than Gao Qinghe.

Gao Qinghe felt the person next to her leave for a while, then crawled back into bed.

She was enveloped by the scent of freshly showered soap, and her hot, rough hands began to get restless.

Gao Qinghe let out a soft moan, and just a second before she was about to succumb, she suddenly remembered that she was pregnant.

"stop!"

She suddenly shouted.

The sound wasn't very loud, but given the atmosphere, a sudden roar startled Jiang Baohai.

"what happened?"

The man panicked a little, thinking he had hurt her.

Gao Qinghe pushed him away, and Jiang Baohai took a step back, turned on the light, and looked at her with concern.

Gao Qinghe opened the bedside table, threw the hospital report onto his violently heaving chest, and said in a rather annoyed tone.

"Did it hurt?" Jiang Baohai asked as he subconsciously picked up the report she threw at him.

Then, it stopped.

Gao Qinghe leaned closer and poked him with her finger, "What's with your reaction?"

Shouldn't we be overjoyed and jump for joy?
That's how it was in my past life.

About three seconds passed.

Jiang Baohai raised his head, his narrow phoenix eyes showing a rare hint of innocence.

He asked, "Really?"

Gao Qinghe's eyes widened, and Jiang Baohai knew what was going on.

He covered his face with the sheet, flopped onto the bed, and sighed miserably.

Gao Qinghe grabbed the order form and asked, "What do you mean by this?"

Jiang Baohai said, "Give me a moment."

Just as he was about to receive the news that he wouldn't have anything to eat for the next year, he needed a little time to accept it.

Gao Qinghe rolled her eyes at him, then got up and went to wash up. (End of Chapter)
