Chapter 3729: A New Addition (345)

The wedding date was getting closer. Everyone in the Gu family was in a state of anxiety. No one dared to be negligent. If anything were to go wrong during the wedding, none of them would be able to escape Gu Jinglian’s wrath.
With the wedding merely ten days away, an accident caught everyone off guard.
…
Chu He seemed to be pregnant.
No one had expected this. It wasn’t that this realization came because her period was late. Although she wasn’t terribly busy with organizing the wedding event, she had to make preparations nevertheless, as a bride-to-be. Amidst these things, she failed to realize that she had missed her period. Until one day when she woke up, feeling rather uncomfortable.
She had been feeling extremely exhausted these past few days. No matter how much she slept, she simply found it hard to wake up. During dinner time that night, it started with her having no appetite. But later, the situation deteriorated. She would feel unwell the moment she ate anything greasy, especially streaky pork, braised pork, and chicken drumsticks. Initially she would only feel uncomfortable when she ate these. However, as time passed, the symptoms got worse.
Chu He could not bear to look at the food, or even have them mentioned. The moment they were mentioned, she would throw up. It didn’t occur to her that she might be pregnant until later, when she dashed to the flower bed to retch after passing by the kitchen and hearing the sound of cooking.
When Madam Qin, who was passing by, saw this, she immediately walked over and asked suspiciously, “Could it be you’re pregnant?”
“Pregnant?”
“Aiyo, are you having a baby!”
As Madam Qin spoke, she blushed and asked vaguely, “Have you and Master Gu been… cough, cough, cough… have you been…”
She did not say it explicitly, but it was understood.
Chu He narrowed her eyes in suspicion.
Not that they haven’t. They had been intimate a few times after they returned from North Africa. However, she had taken contraceptive measures.
Every single time.
Actually, from Chu He’s perspective, she didn’t want children. She wasn’t sure about Gu Jinglian.
However, the man obviously didn’t insist one way or another when it came to having children. He left it to nature to take its course.
Prior to the North Africa trip, they had been intimate twice, and she had already taken precaution. How could she be pregnant? However, all the symptoms she was suffering pointed to pregnancy, so Chu He went to the pharmacy to buy a pregnancy test kit.
In the morning, after Gu Jinglian left the room, Chu He secretly took the pregnancy test kit and went into the bathroom. She followed Madam Qin’s instructions and took the test.
When she came out of the bathroom, Chu He was frowning.
This matter was too mysterious!
How could this be…
She was pregnant?
When Chu He came downstairs from the bedroom, Madam Qin saw her and immediately came up to her. She asked curiously, “How is it? Are you pregnant?’
Chu He looked at her with a complicated expression and nodded gently. “Yes…”
“That’s great!” Madam Qin was flushed with excitement. ‘Does Master Gu also know about this?”
“He doesn’t know yet.”
“Then… I’ll quickly convey this information to him!”
“Don’t. He left the house early in the morning. There’s really no hurry.”
Madam Qin was stunned. She carefully probed, “Madam, why does it look like you’re not very happy? Are you unhappy that you’re pregnant?!”.
