Beside her, Mu Xin had already taken out her phone to call Mu Ke, but Sheng Jiayu quickly stopped her: "Xinxin, wait, don’t call yet."

"What’s wrong? Sister-in-law, if my brother finds out, he’ll be heartbroken."

Sheng Jiayu’s expression was a bit strange, and she pressed her lips together: "Let’s go, let’s go to the pharmacy first."

"To the pharmacy? Sister-in-law, we should go to the hospital."

Sheng Jiayu resolutely shook her head: "No, to the pharmacy, I might... I might be pregnant."

"Pregnant?"

Mu Xin instinctively asked back, and as soon as the words were out of her mouth, she realized and her jaw dropped: "Re-really?" 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"It’s not certain yet, let’s go to the pharmacy first."

Sheng Jiayu went to the pharmacy to buy a test strip, and after returning to the apartment, she stayed in the bathroom for a long time. Mu Xin’s heart was hanging in suspense outside.

After a long while, Sheng Jiayu finally came out slowly, her eyes felt a bit warm.

"How... how did it go?"

Sheng Jiayu tightly pressed her lips, paused for two seconds, then nodded: "It should be positive."

Mu Xin jumped up immediately: "That’s great, I’ll call brother right away."

"Don’t..."

Sheng Jiayu quickly stopped her: "Don’t tell him yet, I want to tell him myself."

Mu Xin’s enthusiasm seemed to be doused with a bucket of cold water, but it was normal that Sheng Jiayu wanted to tell Mu Ke herself. Mu Xin blinked, looking at Sheng Jiayu’s belly: "Sister-in-law, can I touch it now?"

Sheng Jiayu was amused by Mu Xin: "What can you feel now?"

Actually, the accuracy of the test strips isn’t very high, and she didn’t take the test early in the morning either, but Sheng Jiayu had a gut feeling that she was really pregnant.

She was having a baby with Mu Ke.

Sheng Jiayu was a calm person, although she was a bit excited and shocked when she first found out, she quickly calmed down.

She believed this would be a huge surprise for both her and Mu Ke. She didn’t want to tell him so recklessly; she wanted to give him the biggest surprise on a special day.

Sheng Jiayu called her mother and laid everything out, and Xu Qingru was also startled, quickly urging her to return to the old house.

——

In the hospital, Mu Ke had finished two surgeries and felt his legs were already numb. He went back to his office to rest for a bit, picked up his phone, and saw several missed calls.

Mu Ke quickly called back, using Sheng Jiayu’s phone, but it was Xu Qingru who answered.

"Little Mu, your mother and I discussed, and with your wedding with Jiayu coming up soon, we know you two are in love, but we should follow the customs. During this time, you shouldn’t see each other so that it can better enhance your relationship when you’re newly married."

Mu Ke frowned when he heard this, as this came out of nowhere and caught him off guard. But since the person on the other end was Xu Qingru, Mu Ke didn’t dare to say much, just asked for Sheng Jiayu to come on the phone.

"She’s in the bathroom; I’ll have her call you back later."

Xu Qingru hung up the phone, looking at Sheng Jiayu with a bit of playful reproach in her eyes: "This is a good thing, why keep it a secret from Little Mu?"

Sheng Jiayu was hugging a pillow, sitting on the bed, with a somewhat goofy smile on her face: "I want to tell him on our wedding day, to give him a surprise."

Xu Qingru chuckled with disbelief, thinking that at her age, she was still playing this game, but she was also happy because her daughter had become a gentle woman thanks to Mu Ke.
