"Mingzhu, take good care of yourself, and if there’s anything you want to eat, just tell Mom. I’ll have someone make it for you," Jiang Jing’s mother said joyfully as she gazed at Gu Mingzhu’s belly. She was not only unangry on hearing the news of Gu Mingzhu’s pregnancy but very pleased as well.
The Jiang Family would soon have a grandson.
Jiang Jing’s mother spoke kindly to Gu Mingzhu, even placing great importance on discussing the dowry.
After seeing off the Jiang family, Fang Yue looked at the pile of nourishing gifts and said with a smile, "Our Mingzhu is going to get married soon and will also become a mother soon."
Fang Yue looked at Gu Mingzhu with loving eyes, thinking about the actions of the Jiang Family after Gu Mingzhu’s pregnancy. She said, "Mingzhu, don’t worry, my grandchild will definitely be born safely. As for the Panda Blood issue, your father has already gone to find the person with Panda Blood, ensuring your delivery will be safe and sound."
"Thank you, Mom." Gu Mingzhu’s eyes and brows were brimming with a joyful smile.
"You’re my daughter, I’m your real mom, there’s nothing to thank me for." Fang Yue said this and told Gu Mingzhu to rest well.
Once she was left alone and quiet, Fang Yue thought again about the daughter she had abandoned.
They are real sisters, so they should have the same blood type.
Nothing must go wrong with Mingzhu’s delivery.
Fang Yue calculated in her heart.
"Xiaoyue, what’s been going on with you lately? You always seem hesitant,"
That night, Gu Hai was happy because he had just closed a big deal and was in a good mood.
"Hai, I..." Even though Fang Yue was in her forties, she maintained herself very well, still charming, especially with her almost-crying expression, which immediately softened Gu Hai’s heart. He said, "What’s wrong? Mingzhu got pregnant before marriage, I’m not happy, but the marriage with the Jiang family is already fixed, and there hasn’t been anything else to be unhappy about lately, has there?"
"Hai." Fang Yue’s tears swirled in her eyes but didn’t fall; her voice was soft as she said, "I’ve been having nightmares recently and can’t sleep, feeling like, I shouldn’t keep hiding it from you, Hai."
"What’s the matter?" Gu Hai gently patted Fang Yue’s shoulder, comforting her, "Nightmares are just the opposite."
"But, I’ve been thinking about that daughter." Fang Yue tilted her head back slightly—she knew this angle made her look particularly pitiful. She said, "After I fought hard to give birth to her, even though she was a girl, she was still our child, and I loved her very much, but..."
"Sigh." Gu Hai knew about that child, which Fang Yue had given birth to while visiting her hometown. Unfortunately, the child had not survived childbirth.
"She didn’t die," Fang Yue suddenly said.
Gu Hai was thinking about that daughter he had never met and was startled by Fang Yue’s words.
"She was stolen by bad people. I had just given birth to her and didn’t have any strength. By the time I came to my senses, a day had passed already," Fang Yue said, half truthfully, holding her head down, wiping her eyes, and chokingly said, "Hai, when you got there, you thought the child was gone, and I didn’t dare tell you the truth."
"Hai, I’m sorry to you," Fang Yue kept apologizing, "I wanted to tell you, but during the confinement, my mom knew I had a daughter who was gone and thought it was bad luck, continuously scolding me. If she knew I’d lost the child, she would have scolded me to death, Hai, it’s my fault."
Gu Hai watched her apologizing, maintaining silence without saying a word. Fang Yue grew anxious at the bottom of her heart; had she guessed wrong?
