Capítulo 1281: Chapter 1281: The Second Child Is a Must

A little misunderstanding directly resulted in Zhui Feng being docked three months’ bonus.

There’s no right or wrong in this matter, Shang Yin wanted to get a cake for his sister, while He Yanmo wanted to get ice cream for her brother.

The feelings between children are pure and beautiful, yet it was this small commotion that left a significant shadow on Young Master Yin.

So much so that in the many years to come, in the Shang’s, Young Master Yin feared nothing but losing He Yanmo.

…

After the wedding, Li San and Nan Xin returned to the border three days later.

Though it was a happy ending for everyone, Nan Xin was still preoccupied with Bai Chan’s disappearance.

A perfectly good assistant doesn’t just disappear without a trace.

On the day Nan Xin left, a piece of news almost flooded all social networks and entertainment platforms in the country.

At Milan Fashion Week, the supermodel Yan Shiqi became the first to walk as the opening model.

When Li Qiao saw the news, she was eating in the cafeteria of the laboratory.

Perhaps it was just her imagination, but she also felt that she had gained weight recently, and her appetite had been great…

“It’s truly an era of entertainment to death, where models walking the runway can flood the net, while we researchers toil all our lives and can’t even make it onto a provincial newspaper.”

Some lamented, others complained.

Yet, as Li Qiao watched the opening model Yan Shiqi, she faintly felt a sense of familiarity.

Perhaps… a fleeting glance at some moment had left an impression.

After all, Yan Shiqi’s clear and captivating eyes were hard to forget by anyone who saw them.

At three in the afternoon, Li Qiao’s Mercedes merged into the traffic from the laboratory’s side road.

She went to the pharmacy, then to the supermarket to buy some snacks, and returned to the mansion before four.

“Madam?” Luoyu looked at Li Qiao walking into the living room with surprise, quickly getting up to greet her, “Why are you back so early?”

Li Qiao, carrying a shopping bag, mentioned she had some matters to tend to, then went upstairs to the master bedroom.

In the bathroom, Li Qiao took out a newly bought box of test strips, ready to take a pregnancy test.

She raised her head, gently touching her face in the mirror; indeed, it had become fuller than before.

Without delay, Li Qiao took out the test strips and began preparing.

Downstairs at the same time, Luoyu thoughtfully touched her chin. It seemed she just saw a familiar small box in Madam’s shopping bag.

After thinking for a few seconds, Luoyu suddenly realized.

Oh, right, that brand of test strips, she had used it before as well.

As she was pondering, strong footsteps accompanied by a consistent greeting came from outside the living room, “Cuiying, Huang Cuiying, are you there?”

Luoyu’s expression turned cold, her rigid demeanor even more unapproachable, “Speak if you have something to say.”

Gu Chenn arrived at the entrance of the living room, leaning against the doorway, “I’m heading back to Aida State, can you book a flight ticket for me?”

“No time.”

Gu Chenn wasn’t offended, habitually sarcastic, “After all we’ve slept together, don’t you have any regard for our affinity?”

“Get lost!”

Luoyu’s attitude was bad, her irritation and resistance evident.

Amidst her irritation lay certain unspoken emotions, which she had never sorted out, choosing instead to ignore them.

At that moment, Gu Chenn’s face was a bit hard to maintain, “Huang Cuiying, I find you incredibly dull. Every day it’s just telling me to get lost, can you be a bit more original?”

“Can’t get enough of my scolding?” Luoyu sternly mocked, “Knowing I’m dull yet sticking around, Gu Chenn, have some dignity.”

Gu Chenn shrugged, “Is dignity useful? Can you give back my first time?”

Luoyu: “…”

Sometimes she really felt it was impossible to communicate with a rascal.

No matter how harsh the words, he could always block her by bringing up his ‘first time’.

A grown man whining about losing his first time every day, truly eye-opening.

Luoyu didn’t want to engage, getting up to head outside.

Seeing this, Gu Chenn slowly followed, wherever she went, he followed.

“What the hell do you want…”

With a sudden lunge, Gu Chenn pressed Luoyu against the corner of the entryway wall, “Huang Cuiying, either book me a flight ticket or give me back my first time, or else I’ll report you for starting then ending frivolously.”

Luoyu raised her knee to kick him, “Go ahead! Do it quickly!”

“Okay, you said it.” Gu Chenn kept one hand on her shoulder and opened a social platform on his phone, “Cuiying, do you think reporting President Yu of Yan Emperor for starting then ending frivolously will cause Yan Emperor’s stock prices to plummet? I think… evaporating ten to twenty billion in market value shouldn’t be an issue.”

Luoyu abruptly lifted her eyelids, her eyes firing up, “If you dare.”

She could disregard her own reputation, but couldn’t go against Yan Emperor’s brand.

Seeing this, Gu Chenn raised an eyebrow threateningly, “As long as you book me a flight ticket, everything is negotiable.”

Luoyu paused for two seconds, nodding with a faint smile, “Fine, I’ll book it for you.”

Gu Chenn was satisfied and, pushing his limits, patted her shoulder, “What’s the use of going against me? Obedience is so cute!”

Luoyu thought to herself, to hell with being obedient.

Later, Gu Chenn received a confirmation message for his booked flight ticket. He believed he had found the secret to restraining Luoyu and was smug about it for quite a while.

Until later, when he went to the airport to complete the check-in procedures, personally receiving seven flight tickets handed by the counter staff, he realized he was gravely mistaken.

How could Huang Cuiying obediently listen, that insufferable woman was clearly being rebellious.

Seven tickets, six layovers.

This meant that Gu Chenn needed to transfer at six airports, taking seven days to reach Aida State.

Damn it!

F*cking Huang Cuiying.

…

Meanwhile, Luoyu was still engaged in ‘banter’ with Gu Chenn, while in the master bedroom, Li Qiao sat silently, holding a test strip with a single red line.

Not pregnant?

Li Qiao didn’t believe it and used up the entire box of test strips, going through them all.

In the end, all ten strips showed a single line.

Li Qiao curled her fingertips, a bit upset, and threw all the test strips into the trash bin.

Last time when she was pregnant, out of fifteen strips, nine were double-lined, six were single-lined.

Why this time all ten were single-lined?

After washing her hands, Li Qiao left the bathroom and, passing by the bed, glared slightly displeased at the Kirin Bestowing a Son painting.

Sometimes, this might just be fate’s jest.

The more you want something, the less likely you are to get it.

Li Qiao wasn’t too disappointed, just in a bad mood, feeling a bit depressed.

Back then, from an accident with Shang Yu at Tangxi Garden in the Eastern Suburbs, she got pregnant with Shang Yin.

But now… despite their daily efforts, nothing came of it.

Li Qiao returned to the living room, losing interest in tasting the Plum Slices on the table.

She suspected it was psychological suggestion tricking her into thinking she was pregnant.

Li Qiao rubbed her forehead, trying to adjust her mood, planning to borrow the lab’s equipment for a comprehensive exam tomorrow.

No matter what, she’s determined for a second child.
