"Well, the kiss happened already, what can you do?" Nanxi raised an eyebrow, "You’re fine, aren’t you? You didn’t lose a piece of flesh!"
"..." Lu Qingtian was startled, "But sister-in-law, that was my first kiss!"
"Maybe it was Liao Qianchen’s first kiss too! You both gave your first kiss, so no one lost out!"
Lu Qingtian furrowed his brows, seeming to seriously consider it for a moment before speaking, "Now that you mention it, it really does seem that way! Plus, a lot of girls at our school like Liao Qianchen, he’s practically on the level of a campus crush. Thinking about it that way, I seem to have gotten the better deal!"
"..." Nanxi didn’t know what to say anymore, he really was still so innocent!╮(╯_╰)╭
"Then, sister-in-law, you still haven’t told me what it felt like when you kissed my brother!"
"Cough... that...," Nanxi blushed, unsure about what to say, "It was... that kind of feeling!"
"That kind of feeling?" Lu Qingtian blinked, "Which kind?"
Nanxi felt that Lu Qingtian was still very innocent, his understanding of some things was not yet mature, especially in matters of male-female relationships, where he was even more clueless. Although she didn’t know much, she couldn’t mislead him too much.
After clearing her throat, she said, "Qingtian, let me ask you, did you find it disgusting when Liao Qianchen kissed you?"
Lu Qingtian paused and shook his head, "Not really disgusting!"
"I mean, did you like the feeling of being kissed by him?"
"...I don’t understand, sister-in-law!"
"If he were to kiss you again, would you reject it?"
"...He wouldn’t dare!"
"...He absolutely wouldn’t dare!" Lu Qingtian stressed!
Nanxi squinted at him, "Qingtian, trust me, your feelings for Liao Qianchen, are probably not just the simple liking between friends!"
Lu Qingtian was stunned for a moment, then quickly denied, "No!"
"Avoiding the question!"
"...Really no!" His confidence clearly faltered!
Nanxi raised an eyebrow, "Okay, deny it if you will, but wait until the day some other girl snags the ’fresh meat’ or treats him the same way with a ’mwah~’, then you’ll understand your true feelings for him!"
Finished, she took a deep breath and continued walking forward, lamenting as she walked, "The night sky tonight is really beautiful! I wonder what the ’fresh meat’ is doing right now!"
The next day, the eleven-day holiday ended, and Nanxi returned to work at the Magazine Agency.
Originally, the old man and Xia Zhen did not agree with Nanxi going to work, but Nanxi insisted, and nothing could stop her.
Nanxi assured the old man: She would definitely not let herself become overworked and affect the baby in her stomach. If they did not agree to let her stay at home, she really would have been desperate.
The old man didn’t want to upset Nanxi’s mood, knowing that a pregnant woman’s mood could indeed affect the fetus, thus he reluctantly agreed.
But to be safe, the old man still made a call to the leaders of the Magazine Agency, giving them a thorough talking-to both overtly and covertly.
The gist was not to assign the granddaughter-in-law too much or too heavy work, and she definitely shouldn’t go out on assignment, not to mention her working hours were reduced...
Nanxi, listening on the side, was sweating bullets—Grandpa, can you not exaggerate so much?
About Nanxi’s pregnancy, Liao Feifei and Lin Pinzhi hadn’t known beforehand. What surprised them was the person who came to inform them—it wasn’t Nanxi herself but the Chief Editor of the Magazine Agency!
Liao Feifei recounted the Chief Editor’s exact words: "I heard that your team’s Gu Nanxi seems to be pregnant. Well, our Magazine Agency has special consideration for pregnant women. As her colleagues, take extra care of her, try not to assign her any strenuous tasks, and definitely don’t send her out on news runs, let her leave work by four in the afternoon; I’ve come from that time, and pregnant women need special attention especially in the early stages..."
Then she looked at Liao Feifei, asking, "You’re Liao Feifei, right? I heard you and Gu Nanxi were classmates, so you’ll help support her the most, taking care of her. Make sure nothing goes wrong with the baby in her stomach. Concerning work, don’t worry, I will transfer a few more people from other departments to help out later..."
Liao Feifei said, "Nanxi, you have no idea, but when I heard these words, I was completely stunned. The Chief Editor personally coming to inform, what a joke! I’ve been working in the Magazine Agency for some time and have barely seen the Chief Editor, let alone have her know who I am... Nanxi, your articles really saved us this time. Our little team instantly became a sensation in the Magazine Agency, and the Chief Editor even remembered my name! Hahaha..."
