"I know it all, don’t worry, I’m fine."
Setting down the water glass, Xia Nuo asked uncertainly, "Are you really okay?"
"Do you hope that something is wrong with me?"
"Of course not." Seeing that she truly was alright, Xia Nuo reassured herself with a smile.
"I should have said so earlier, saving me the worry. Since you’re fine, let’s go out to eat. There’s a new restaurant that serves delicious food."
"Okay, I also need to buy some clothes!" An Ruo said excitedly.
"Right, buy lots of beautiful clothes." Xia Nuo was excited too.
So they drove out, heading to eat first. They had only ordered two dishes when An Ruo smelled something and suddenly felt like vomiting.
She covered her mouth and rushed to the restroom to retch, and Xia Nuo followed closely behind.
Seeing An Ruo’s condition, she asked worriedly, "An Ruo, how long has it been since your last period?"
An Ruo stiffened. How long had it been?
Apparently, almost two months.
A lot had happened recently, and she hadn’t noticed this detail.
"Let’s go to the hospital for a check-up," Xia Nuo urged as she led her out of the restaurant, foregoing their meal.
After the hospital visit, the results were unsurprising; she was indeed pregnant.
And it had been two months.
An Ruo stroked her belly, wondering if knowing about the pregnancy a month earlier could have prevented her divorce from Tang Yuchen?
What was she even thinking!
Dismissing the foolish thoughts in her mind, An Ruo fiercely scolded herself.
He had been so heartless, why were you still thinking about him!
An Ruo, remember, you and Tang Yuchen no longer have any relationship. From now on, you must not think about him, you must forget him and treat him as a stranger!
Also this child, this is your child alone, and has nothing to do with Tang Yuchen!
Xia Nuo asked An Ruo if she wanted to keep the child, and she said yes, she absolutely did. Although the child was hers and Tang Yuchen’s, she loved this child.
Xia Nuo was glad that An Ruo hadn’t considered abortion, smiling as she said she would be the child’s godmother, and An Ruo replied that was necessary, and the red packet surely couldn’t be small.
Today was the day Tang Yuchen was getting engaged, and also the day An Ruo found out she was pregnant.
But An Ruo was very happy, completely unaffected by Tang Yuchen’s engagement.
Because of the pregnancy, An Ruo could no longer continue to go out and play, so she went home early.
The house was empty, with just her alone. But soon, she would have another child, and in the future, life with the child would mean she would no longer be lonely.
An Ruo wanted to take good care of her pregnancy, so she decided to hire a nanny to take care of her daily needs. She wanted someone reliable, and finally thought of Aunt Zhang.
After the An Family’s downfall, Aunt Zhang had gone back to her hometown. An Ruo called her and asked if she would be willing to come and work for her, and Aunt Zhang was very willing.
Aunt Zhang liked An Ruo very much, she was a good person, and An Ruo liked her as well.
It wasn’t long before Aunt Zhang arrived, and seeing her, An Ruo felt very close.
Aunt Zhang knew everything that had happened to the An Family, and there wasn’t much she could do about her old employer’s affairs except to sigh a few times.
She told An Ruo, "Thank goodness you’re still alive and well, Miss An. Being alive is better than anything. You’ll definitely be happy in the future."
An Ruo nodded; she understood this principle all too well.
Time swiftly passed another two months, and An Ruo was now four months pregnant. Her belly had started to show, making it clear she was pregnant.
Under Aunt Zhang’s care, her health was much better, and she was living a peaceful and comfortable life.
