“Alright.”
The little prince stuck out his tongue, then obediently ran off.
Gu Qingjiu narrowed her eyes and drank her milk. Shortly after, Hilda came over from the other side. “Qingjiu, do you want to go shopping with me today?”
Gu Qingjiu shook her head in embarrassment. “Mom, I don’t feel like going…”
Recently, she had started addressing Hilda as Mom.
Hilda lowered her body and touched Gu Qingjiu’s forehead. “Are you not feeling well?”
“I’m not.”
Gu Qingjiu shook a finger. “I just don’t feel like moving…”
Hilda’s expression became weird when she heard this.
In the past, whenever she asked Gu Qingjiu to go somewhere with her, Gu Qingjiu would respond positively. Lately, though, she would often see Gu Qingjiu either sitting down instead of standing.
She seemed to have become lazy.
Suddenly, something seemed to occur to Hilda, causing her eyes to light up. “Are you… pregnant?”
Oof!
Gu Qingjiu spat out the milk in her mouth.
She was helpless. “Can’t be right, Mom? I don’t have any symptoms?”
Wasn’t it said that pregnant women would vomit or show some intense symptoms?
Gu Qingjiu’s state was very mild.
There weren’t any symptoms expected of a pregnant woman.
“You’re a soldier, and you shouldn’t be this way. I’ll get the doctor to come over and check in the afternoon.”
Hilda’s face was lit up with joy as though she had confirmed something.
She decisively made a phone call.
Gu Qingjiu was momentarily dazed. Pregnant?
She simply hadn’t considered something like that.
But she started having suspicions in her heart.
In the afternoon, Hilda got the doctor to come over to give Gu Qingjiu a checkup. The result came suddenly and directly.
“Congrats, Your Highness. You’re indeed pregnant.”
The doctor knew Gu Qingjiu’s identity, so he addressed her as ‘Your Highness.’
“Oh, my goodness. This is the happiest piece of news I’ve heard this year!”
Hilda covered her mouth in disbelief, tears of joy glistening in the eyes of this woman who all along gave others a strong appearance.
Gu Qingjiu was dazed.
She had thought that one would get informed of her pregnancy under special circumstances.
Wasn’t that the case in TV dramas?
The first pregnancy was always earth-shattering…
Surprisingly…
The announcement of her pregnancy came so naturally.
“Oh, Qingjiu, you’re our Helian family’s lucky star.”
Hilda lowered her body happily to hug Gu Qingjiu and planted a kiss on her cheek. “I’m going to tell this good news to your dad and grandpa. I’ll leave you to tell your husband yourself.”
Gu Qingjiu’s eyes were widened, still in disbelief that she was carrying a baby. She dazedly responded to Hilda.
Having found out she was pregnant, Hilda asked Gu Qingjiu to go back to her room to rest.
When Gu Qingjiu got back to her room, she was still in disbelief.
Finally, when she accepted this news, the first thing she did was to go online and look up what to do when one was pregnant.
It was only when she saw many nonsensical answers online that she snapped out of her shock and let out a chuckle.
Why did she become so anxious over a pregnancy?
However, it was a marvelous feeling, a feeling she had never had before. Was there a child starting to grow inside of her tummy?
And this child belonged to her and Chief Instructor.
At the thought of this, Gu Qingjiu seemed to understand the motherly love that came naturally after learning of one’s pregnancy.
