Chapter 1094: Mingyue Is Pregnant, Third Uncle Moves To The Capital (5)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Gu Qingyao became pregnant and she moved to the Gu house, Qiao Yuying and Gu Yunshen moved there too so that they could take care of Gu Qingyao easily.
Later on, Ji Mingyue became pregnant as well, so it was even harder for the two of them to leave.
Second Uncle and Second Aunt had to work every day, while Gu Jinhang was busy with school, his own work, and family matters. He was extremely busy.
It would not do to just have the two old folks, Gu Chonghua and Wen Ruyu at home.
So Gu Jinhang felt reassured to have Qiao Yuying and Gu Yunshen there.
As Gu Qingyao ate, she could not help but observe Gu Jinxuan and Zhou Ping. Mo Beihan was sitting next to her, and he, too, sensed that something was amiss. He filled a bowl of soup and placed it in front of her.
“What’s the matter?”
Gu Qingyao glanced at him but said, “Nothing, I’ll just drink some soup!”
There were so many people at the table that Mo Beihan could not say anything, so he just took good care of her.
Gu Qingyao glanced at Gu Jinxuan and Zhou Ping many times, so of course, Mo Beihan noticed it too. He also glanced at them, then looked away.
Lunch took a very long time. Everyone talked and laughed. After lunch, they gathered together to chat. Time passed swiftly.
Third Uncle’s family had just arrived in the capital, and they did not have to report to work for the next two days. They only had to go to work the day after next.
That night, Third Uncle and his family settled into the house.
The next day, everyone went to work or school.
Gu Fangting left with Young Aunt, Gu Yunshuang. The two of them were studying now. They had already bought a little house near the school, so they mostly lived there, but they frequently came back to visit the old folks.
Gu Yunshuang was their daughter, and they treasured her.
When everyone left, the Gu house fell silent.
Qiao Yuying had to go to work. Qiao’s Jewelry had moved to the capital. As the boss, she did not have to go to the office every day, but she still had to deal with certain matters.
That day, she had to go to the office at 10 am to deal with something, so Gu Qingyao shooed her off.
“Mother, all of you are too careful. Grandfather and Grandma are at home, and so is Brother Beihan. Besides, there are so many servants! Go and do your work! There’s no need to stay home with Father all the time and keep me company.”
Qiao Yuying patted her hand. “Dear girl! I’m just worried about you! Now that you’re pregnant, I feel anxious the moment I let you out of my sight!”
Gu Qingyao laughed, “All right, hurry up and go to work! I’ll stay at home obediently. It’s fine!”
“Then I’ll go! There isn’t much to do. I’ll be back in the afternoon, then I’ll cook something nice for you!”
“Mhm!”
Qiao Yuying left. Gu Yunshen brought Gu Yundong to walk around the capital and familiarize him with the surroundings.
Zhou Ping wanted to go shopping, so she went out too. Gu Jinxuan, Little Seven and Little Eight all went out as well. They were curious about their new surroundings. The capital was much livelier than the provincial capital where they stayed previously, and they had all gone out to play.
Gu Qingyao watched them leave. She wanted to see what they would be like when they came home in the evening.
When Second Uncle and Second Aunt returned from work that evening, Little Seven, Little Eight, and Fifth Cousin were not yet back. They were probably having too much fun out there.
Gu Yunshen and Third Uncle had not come back either.
But Zhou Ping came back.
She was laden with parcels of various sizes, and she looked happy!
Second Aunt laughed when she saw her. “You’ve bought so many things! Why didn’t you bring Little Seven and Little Eight with you? Aren’t you tired, carrying all those things by yourself?”
