Editor: Atlas Studios

After discussing it, Xiaoguo finally heaved a sigh of relief. She had not been sleeping or eating well over the past few days. Now that all the preparation work was done, she had to go back and take a good rest. She must conserve her energy and continue preparing for the battle tomorrow!

Just as she was about to get up, Shu Botong asked, “When can we collect our shop sign?”

The shop was opening for business tomorrow, but the sign had yet to be hung up.

“!!” Xiaoguo slapped her thigh. If he hadn’t mentioned it, she would have completely forgotten about it. What a terrible memory she had!

“It must have been done long ago. I haven’t had time to collect it yet.”

“Then I’ll go and pick it up later.”

Shu Botong said with a smile.

“Sure…” Xiaoguo covered her face in embarrassment and said shyly, “Look at my memory…”

The others did not speak. They just smiled at her while she wallowed in self-frustration.

“I’m leaving. I have to go back and catch up on my sleep.”

With that, Xiaoguo got up to leave.

Two days ago, Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling had officially moved from Peach Blossom Village to the shop. Xiaoguo had wanted to stay here too, but the animals at home could not be left in the house without anyone to care for them. Hence, she had to rush home every day after finishing up her work in the shop.

As soon as she reached the door, Xiaoguo suddenly felt her vision go black. She passed out as her legs buckled under her.

Fortunately, Shu Botong was standing close to her. With no time to care about propriety, he hugged her tightly and anxiously called out to her, “Xiaoguo? Xiaoguo?”

Xiaoguo and Yu Ling also exclaimed and ran to her side. They called out to her along with Shu Botong, but Xiaoguo showed no signs of waking up.

Seeing this, Shu Botong didn’t hesitate anymore. He picked her up and ran towards the medical clinic. As he ran, he said to the two of them, “Hurry up and find Anming!”

Yu Ling reacted quickly and gave Xiao Zhu a nudge. “You follow them. I’ll go look for Brother Anming and the others!”

With that, she ran off before Xiao Zhu could react.

Xiao Zhu hurriedly locked the door before rushing to the clinic with Shu Botong.

At this moment, Qin Anming was busy in the noodle shop. He was feeling slightly depressed. Looking up at the sky, he thought that he could be feeling this way because of the weather.

Not long after, a hurried cry could be heard, causing everyone in the noodle shop to lookout.

Yu Ling couldn’t be bothered to care about anything else. She scanned around the noodle shop and finally spotted Qin Anming. In a panicked voice, she told him, “Brother Anming, Sister Xiaoguo has fainted!”

“What?!!”

When Qin Anming heard this, the bowl in his hand fell to the ground. He became extremely flustered and ran out with no idea where to go. Fortunately, Yu Ling came out and brought him to the medical clinic.

When Ruyi came back to her senses, she ran out with Qin Anming without another word. The others were also very worried about Xiaoguo, but they could not leave the shop. They could only wait anxiously for new updates.

Upon arrival at the clinic, they saw Xiaoguo sleeping soundly on the bed, as well as Shu Botong, who was still panting heavily.

Qin Anming didn’t have time to wipe the sweat off his face. Afraid of waking Xiaoguo up, he asked softly, “What’s wrong with Xiaoguo?”

Shu Botong exhaled and pointed to the door, indicating that they should go out and talk.

Qin Anming swallowed his anxiety and followed him outside. Once outside, he started asking eagerly again.

Afraid that Qin Arning would get too anxious, Shu Botong quickly said, “She’s fine!”

He was still panting heavily at this moment. Afraid that Qin Anming could not understand what he was trying to say, he tried to comfort him first.

Qin Anming paused for a moment before heaving a sigh of relief. He was on the verge of collapsing to the ground. After hearing that she was fine, he finally had the time to wipe his face. It was unknown if those were sweat or tears.

As Ruyi finally caught up, she saw the two men whispering to each other, and

Yu Ling was nowhere to be seen. Her heart skipped a beat. “How is Sister Xiaoguo?”

Qin Anming shook his head first. He didn’t know the details. He could only wait for Shu Botong to catch his breath.

Judging from the expressions on their faces, it didn’t look like Xiaoguo was in any danger. She breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that Xiaoguo was fine.

Not long after, Shu Botong smiled and said, “It’s a joyous occasion! Xiaoguo is pregnant!”

“Huh?!

Qin Anming and Ruyi looked at each other in disbelief. “She’s pregnant?!”

At this moment, Yu Ling and Xiao Zhu walked over with the medicine, smiling from ear to ear.

As soon as she entered the clinic, Yu Ling was called away by Xiao Zhu. The doctor had prescribed two sets of medicine. One pack was to be mixed with water while the other pack was to be boiled. Xiao Zhu couldn’t manage all by herself, so she called Yu Ling over to help. Along the way, she explained the reason to her.

“Then why did she faint?”

Qin Anming was still not entirely reassured and wanted to ask the doctor himself. He wouldn’t feel at ease until he hears the doctor’s response with his own ears.

Shu Botong stopped him and explained with a smile, “The doctor said that she’s been working too hard these past few days, so her qi and blood circulation are weak. She’ll be fine after resting and spending some time recuperating.”

“This is the medicine prescribed by the doctor. I’ll give this to Sister Xiaoguo now. There’s another bowl she has to take later.”

With that, Xiao Zhu entered the room with Yu Ling.

Qin Anming watched them leave and was about to follow them when he suddenly thought of something. “Xiaoguo is pregnant?!”

His sudden words startled the two of them. What was going on? Shu Botong just told him the news earlier.

Ruyi was also very happy, but after being startled by Qin Anming, she paused for a moment before saying loudly, “Yes! She’s pregnant.”

With that, she was overjoyed. She didn’t have the chance when Sister Xiaoguo gave birth to Zhuang Zhuang, but this time, she had to prepare a small blanket for the baby.

“How many months along is she?”

The news had finally sunk in for Qin Anming. The smile on his face was so bright that someone who didn’t know better might have thought that he was the one who was pregnant..

“It’s barely three months.”

Shu Botong replied from the side. Everyone was happy with the arrival of a new life.

Seeing that Brother Anming was still in a daze, Ruyi shook her head and walked past him into the house.

In the room, she could still hear Qin Anming’s silly laughter.

Xiaoguo had already woken up and taken the medicine. She also learned about the news of her pregnancy from Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling.

At the moment, she couldn’t say that she was happy or unhappy. She was still feeling confused. The symptoms she had experienced before finally made sense now. Nausea and drowsiness were signs of early pregnancy, after all.

When Ruyi entered the house and saw Xiaoguo, she couldn’t stop smiling. “Congratulations, Sister Xiaoguo…”

As she spoke, she came to the bed and reached out to carefully touch her stomach.

It should be said that apart from Xiaoguo, everyone else was smiling widely. Xiaoguo was the only one who did not look like she was pregnant.

The few of them, who were immersed in joy, made sure that Xiaoguo was properly taken care of.

Just as the room was filled with joy, a panicked and suppressed voice suddenly sounded from the entrance of the medical hall. Those who didn’t know better would have thought that something had happened.

Xiaoguo and the others were also feeling curious. They were in the backyard of the medical clinic now, so they couldn’t see what was happening at the shop front. They did find that the man’s voice sounded familiar.

The more Qin Anming listened, the more he felt that something was amiss. He left to check things out after informing the rest.

Out of curiosity, Ruyi followed behind him. Right on the heels of that, Shu Botong went out as well, leaving Xiao Zhu and Yu Ling in the room to keep Xiaoguo company.

In the eyes of the two girls, Xiaoguo was very fragile at the moment. The doctor had advised her to rest well during the first trimester, and the thought of how Xiaoguo had been working so hard during the recent period of time terrified them. They must make sure to watch over her as if she were a porcelain doll.

Xiaoguo wanted to get out of bed to take a look, but she was quickly stopped by the two little guards. They firmly told her to lie down and covered her with a blanket.

The girls wrapped her up so securely that only her head was left uncovered.

She couldn’t resist even if she wanted to. She was afraid that the two of them would tie her up if she tried.

Since she couldn’t move, she could only use her ears to listen.

The commotion outside the room had quietened down not long after Qin Anming went out. She couldn’t hear anything even if she tried. In the end, she had no choice but to give up.

“Xiaoguo, Xiaoguo…”

Just as Xiaoguo was feeling disappointed, Jiang Danhe appeared with a joyful expression on his face.

“Mother…”

Zhuang Zhuang, who was beside him, quickly spoke up to catch her attention.

“You guys? Why are you back!”
