"Shizhou, did you remember what the doctor said?"

They had just returned home from the hospital, where the doctor confirmed that Xia Yichu was five weeks pregnant. Because of Zhou Wenbin, the doctor had given Pei Shizhou a lot of advice on things pregnant women need to be careful about.

Pei Shizhou listened very attentively, as did Xia Yichu; she valued the child in her womb just as much as Pei Shizhou.

"I'll remember that, Auntie."

"Okay, then you can go in! If you have any questions, feel free to come and ask me."

Lin's mother couldn't stand the two of them being so lovey-dovey; she was too old to bear it.

"it is good"

Pei Shizhou led Xia Yichu inside. Lin's parents took a few steps, and Lin's mother noticed that Lin Xingcheng hadn't followed.

"Xiao Cheng, let's go!"

"Mom and Dad, you go back first. I'm staying at my brother-in-law's house to take care of Xiao Chu."

Upon hearing this, Lin's mother returned and pulled Lin Xingcheng away. The couple must be very happy now, and they have a lot to say to each other.

Given how much Pei Shizhou adores Xia Yichu, no one is more suitable to take care of her than him.

"Mom, let go of me, I'm worried about Xiao Chu."

Lin Xingcheng dared not struggle too much, for fear of hurting his mother.

"Xiao Chu has your brother-in-law, so you don't need to worry about her."

"mom"

Lin Xingcheng was unwilling to give up. He was about to go back to work, and he didn't know if he would be able to come back when Xiao Chu gave birth. He wanted to spend more time with Xiao Chu.

"If Xiao Cheng wants to go, let him go. Why are you stopping him?"

Lin Weidong said, puzzled, that since Xiao Xingcheng and Xiao Chu were inseparable, their relationship was better than that of anyone else in the family.

"Shut up, what do you know?"

When Lin Xingcheng gave up going to university in Kyoto and chose to go to university in Shenzhen, Lin's mother was actually very worried about her youngest son, fearing that he might have feelings for Xiao Chu that went beyond familial affection.

After all, the youngest son valued Xiao Chu too much, more than his own life. Fortunately, after Xiao Chu and Pei Shizhou got together, the youngest son didn't do anything wrong, and everything seemed normal.

"Why are you being so unreasonable? Fine, I won't argue with you."

Lin Weidong stormed off ahead to go home, intending to call Xia Guoan. He was going back with Lin Xingcheng in a few days and was currently at home with Grandpa Xia.

Pei Shizhou had previously stated that the child would take Xia Guoan's surname, and he would have to contribute both money and effort. Xia Guoan is truly fortunate; he never raised Xiao Chu for a single day, yet now he's gained a son for free.

Lin Weidong was furious just thinking about it; his sister hadn't enjoyed any happiness since marrying Xia Guoan.

"Xiao Chu, I'm going to call Grandpa and Grandma."

When Xia Yichu and the others got home, the two of them sat on the sofa and talked about the child's problem. Only then did Pei Shizhou realize that he hadn't told the Zhou family.

"it is good"

Not long after Pei Shizhou hung up the phone, the two elders of the Zhou family and Yao Jingshen arrived with a pile of things. Zhou Wenbin didn't come, and Xia Yichu was quite surprised that Yao Jingshen would come with the two elders.

"Congratulations"

Yao Jingshen hadn't prepared any gifts, so Grandma Zhou gave him a box to give to Xia Yichu.

"Thanks"

Pei Shizhou thanked him and took the box from Yao Jingshen on Xia Yichu's behalf.

Grandpa and Grandma

"Xiao Chu, don't stand up, just sit down."

Grandma Zhou smiled and held Xia Yichu's hand, saying, "A-Zhou and Xiao Chu are such good people." Over the years, Grandma Zhou had worried a lot for Pei Shizhou, especially since Xia Yichu didn't want to get married after graduating from university.

Although she knew Xia Yichu was a good boy, Grandma Zhou was also afraid that something might happen and the two of them wouldn't be able to get married in the end.

He knows his own grandson best. If he hadn't married Xia Yichu, his life would have been just like that, and he might have ended up alone like his son.

"Xiao Chu, what do you want to eat? Grandpa will make it for you."

Grandpa Zhou was clearly very happy, and even Yao Jingshen was a little envious of Pei Shizhou's good fortune. To meet a girl you like, to have the two of you like each other, and to be able to get married in the end—that's truly lucky.

"Grandpa, I don't want to eat anything right now. I'll tell you when I feel like eating."

"Okay, remember to tell me what you want to eat."

"Okay, then Shizhou will learn how to do it from you."

Xia Yichu dared not let a man in his seventies cook for her so often.

"Haha, right, let Ah Zhou learn a thing or two. He's been too busy with work all these years, and he's only learned about 30 or 40% of his cooking skills from his grandfather."

Grandma Zhou was overjoyed; her family had been experiencing a series of happy events lately.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll come and teach A-Zhou how to cook," Grandpa Zhou said confidently.

"Xiao Chu, I promise I'll study hard."

Pei Shizhou patted his chest and said that he had completely forgotten that Gu Yunting was waiting for him to go back to work so that he could take a long vacation.

"Grandpa and Grandma, where's Uncle?"

Xia Yichu actually wanted to ask about Zhou Wenbin and Yao Siying, but Yao Jingshen was also there, so she couldn't ask so directly.

When this was mentioned, Grandma Zhou couldn't stop smiling as she looked at Yao Jingshen. Yao Jingshen, however, looked utterly dejected. He had been engrossed in reading a medical book yesterday, and the two elderly women from the Zhou family had been so kind as to keep him there.

The medical books were too tempting, and considering that his mother had only been gone for three days, she probably wouldn't be back in the country anytime soon. So he agreed to stay at the Zhou family's house for one night, and spent the entire night reading.

Just as dawn broke, he went to the hotel to pick up some things. When he opened his room door, he noticed something was wrong: there was an extra suitcase lying next to the door. The suitcase was definitely his mother's.

He quickly knocked on Zhou Wenbin's door; this hotel belonged to the Zhou family. There was no one else on this floor; Zhou Wenbin had already instructed the manager not to let any other guests stay.

After Zhou Wenbin opened the door, his first words to Yao Jingshen were to tell him to keep his voice down, saying that his mother was exhausted from the previous night and had only just fallen asleep. Yao Jingshen went in to make sure his mother was alright and sleeping soundly in bed.

They were both adults; he knew what had happened between them the night before. Enraged, he punched Zhou Wenbin and left. If his mother hadn't been so fixated on Zhou Wenbin, it wouldn't have been just one punch.

"He's busy with something and might not be free to come over for a few days."

The two elderly people in the Zhou family already knew about their son and Yao Siying from the hotel manager, which is why they said that their Zhou family was experiencing a series of happy events.

Xia Yichu was about to say something when suddenly, the phone rang at home.

"I'll answer the phone."

Pei Shizhou walked over to answer the phone, said "I understand" and hung up.

"Xiao Chu, maternal grandparents, and the Chen brothers were arrested last night. I have to go out."

"Okay, go ahead! We'll take care of Xiao Chu, so don't worry. Just get things sorted out over there as soon as possible."

Grandma Zhou thought Pei Feng was unlucky; of all times, he had to die, just a few days after A-Zhou's wedding.

"Grandma, if Xiaochu needs anything, please call me. I'll be right back."

Pei Shizhou kept staring at Xia Yichu as he spoke. Xia Yichu was speechless. It was just a short trip, and he acted like he was going on a long journey.

"Don't worry about me, you go quickly."

"Um"

"A-Zhou, Xiao Chu is pregnant, so don't let her go to Pei Feng's funeral."

She's not an important person, so please don't let her hurt the baby in Xiao Chu's belly.

"Grandpa, I know."

Even if Xia Yichu wasn't pregnant, Pei Shizhou didn't intend for her to go.
