On the second day, the family of four took a plane back to China.
When they returned home, Gu Qingjiu saw Qin Wange and Gu Qingmo there.
“Brother, sister-in-law!”
“Ah, Qingjiu, Niancheng, you guys are back?”
“Xiaobao and aiyo, my cute granddaughter Xiaobei.”
Qi Yuefeng and the rest were chatting when Gu Qingjiu returned. Upon seeing them, joy colored their faces.
Especially Qi Yuefeng who immediately walked over to scoop Gu Xiaobei up.
Although Gu Xiaobei was young, she wasn’t afraid of strangers. Even if she only saw Qi Yuefeng when she was younger, she didn’t feel foreign to her.
And stayed obediently in Qi Yuefeng’s arms as she walked over.
Thinking back about how Gu Xiaobei didn’t want Helian Niancheng to carry her even after trying for a long time, Helian Niancheng stiffened. It continued for a short while before he started relaxing.
Gu Xiaobao, who was sweet with words, immediately called out to everyone. “Grandfather, grandmother, uncle, auntie.”
“Aish, Xiaobao is so obedient.”
Qin Wange pulled Gu Xiaobao over. The more she looked, the more she liked him. She became happier when she thought about having an equally obedient child in the future.
She had always liked children so it was only natural for her to adore Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaobei.
Gu Qingmo looked at Gu Xiaobao. “It’s been a long time, you seem to have grown.”
Gu Xiaobao puffed up. “Of course, uncle. If I didn’t grow, it would be a problem.”
His eloquent words made everyone laugh.
Gu Qingjiu sat by Qin Wange while Gu Qingmo sat near Helian Niancheng and Gu Hong as they chatted.
“Sister Wange, are you pregnant?”
At Gu Qingjiu’s direct question, Qin Wange nodded shyly. “Yes, I am. Qingmo and I have been preparing for a child recently. With good luck, I got pregnant shortly after. I’m three and a half weeks into the pregnancy. Knowing that you had a mission, we didn’t get to inform you.”
Seeing the blissful look on Qin Wange’s face, Gu Qingjiu felt relieved as well. “Are you going to check if the baby’s a boy or a girl?”
Qin Wange shook her head. “We are not going to check. We will just let nature run its course.”
“Since I just got pregnant, there are still a few things which I’m not sure about. Can I ask you about them in the future?”
It was Qin Wange’s first pregnancy while Gu Qingjiu was already a mother of two. Getting advice from her was naturally the best decision.
Gu Qingjiu agreed easily. “Of course. Ask me anytime.”
Qi Yuefeng, who was carrying Gu Xiaobei, asked, “How long are you staying this time? Your Great Aunt and the rest will be coming over a week later. We can have a family gathering together then?”
Ever since Gu Qingjiu left for her mission, Gu Xiaobao and the rest spent most of their time in Penalan and they rarely had time to meet the Gu family.
Gu Qingjiu nodded. “Sure. We will leave after the gathering then.”
“Aish, I heard that your Great Aunt got promoted again. For the past few years, we keep hearing about her getting promoted. She had always been a career woman. Your father said that when he talked with his old friends in Dayi city at the capital that they had heard of her.”
Gu Qingjiu smiled. Ever since her aunt made use of her words to buy over the Yu family back then and took over the management for the Yu Corporation, it wasn’t an exaggeration to say that Gu Shouyan had been getting promoted every year.
She already became an irreplaceable asset of the Yu Corporation.
Her brother had also reached the management level at his company at his young age. The Gu family could be said to have risen quickly to their success.
