Chapter 1931: Ersu, Give Your Daddy a Call
On the first day back at work after the holidays, Ye Qianqian applied for a leave of absence.
Although the chief editor wasn’t happy about it, when she heard that Ye Qianqian needed the day off for a premarital checkup, she didn’t say anything.
Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie arrived early at the hospital. They registered at the front desk and were immediately given the checkup.
Throughout the whole process, Ye Qianqian was extremely nervous.
The results wouldn’t be available right away, so Shen Zhilie and Ye Qianqian headed home once they were done.
After staying in Kingstown for another two days, Shen Zhilie returned to the Capital.
Because she had the house to herself, Ye Qianqian made it a point to sleep early every night and rise early too. Perhaps it was her own imagination, but she felt that her skin had improved significantly.
On the day that she received the results of the checkup, Ye Qianqian immediately opened the envelope and took out the report.
However, she wasn’t in a hurry to look at it, and instead gave Shen Zhilie a call.
Shen Zhilie seemed to be busy with something, and it was some time before he answered the phone.
It was very quiet on his end of the phone. “Give me ten minutes,” he whispered.
“All right!” Ye Qianqian hung up the phone immediately.
She stared at the report and took a deep breath before flipping through it.
She perused the whole report; all the results looked normal.
Female: Normal
Ye Qianqian looked through it a few times, her initial nervousness gradually disappearing altogether.
She took a picture of each page and sent them to Shen Zhilie’s cell phone.
After about five minutes, Shen Zhilie called her back.
Ye Qianqian answered the call and exclaimed excitedly, “I got the results!”
“I saw it,” he said. He sounded like he was in good mood. “All the tests came back normal. There’s nothing out of the ordinary.”
“Ha ha! Does that mean that my body is healthy?”
“Yeah. Did you get the results of your pelvic exam?”
“Yes! I sent it to you!”
“Okay.” Shen Zhilie smiled sincerely and said, “It’s all normal. Everything is normal. You’re healthy.”
Ye Qianqian crumpled into a chair. Excitement still evident in her voice, she said, “Old Shen, I miss you so much.”
“I miss you too.” Shen Zhilie checked his calendar. “We’ll be together soon. Remember to bring your passport and identification documents when we go to the Bureau of Civil Affairs.”
A colleague overheard their conversation and immediately went over to needle Shen Zhilie. “Hey, what did I just hear? Old Shen is getting married?”
Ye Qianqian heard him through the phone, but didn’t take any offense. “Tell your colleague we’ll have more than enough wedding candy to pass around.”
Shen Zhilie smiled, looked at the man, and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll be waiting for your cash gifts.”
Ye Qianqian burst out laughing and said to him, “Go back to whatever you were busy with. I need to get back to work too. Wait for me.”
“All right,” Shen Zhilie replied. He waited until Ye Qianqian disconnected the call before putting the phone down.
Shen Zhilie got back to work and didn’t stop for any breaks.

Yuxiu Villa Estate…
The New Year festival had just ended, and the festive atmosphere still lingered.
Su Qianci was helping Nanny Rong make desserts for the children. She stood in front of the stove and slowly stirred the sugar in the pot.
As the contents in the pot simmered over the small flame, a pleasant aroma filled the kitchen.
Li Jianyue happily ran over with Teeny Su, calling out in her crisp voice, “Mommy, we smell what you’re making!”
Su Qianci smiled, but just as she was about to reply, she suddenly felt a pain shoot through her abdomen.
The pain had come on suddenly. She doubled over, grimacing.
Standing next to her, Nanny Rong saw what happened and exclaimed, “Ma’am, what’s wrong?”
Su Qianci’s face quickly turned white. “My stomach hurts…”
Nanny Rong was horrified. She quickly turned off the stove and held Su Qianci up, asking, “Are you about to give birth? Come, sit on the couch.”
As they walked over to the couch, Nanny Rong said, “Ersu, give your daddy a call. Tell him your mommy’s stomach hurts.”
