He Xiyan tossed and turned in bed at night, unable to sleep. She was so restless that she woke Ye Hao up on several occasions. It was barely dawn and she still had not risen from bed when she sent Qin Xiaoyu a message and asked her to run an errand for her.

Qin Xiaoyu excitedly passed the item she was tasked to buy to He Xiyan.

“Are you pregnant?” She drew close to He Xiyan and whispered softly, her eyes turning dreamy. She thought that if Miss He was pregnant this time, then she would become the young mistress of the Ye family. Miss He’s future would be bright and as her maid, she would also benefit from this association.

He Xiyan took that small, pink-colored box and placed a finger on her lips in a ‘shh’ gesture. Compared to Qin Xiaoyu’s excitement, He Xiyan was more nervous than excited.

She took that small box and snuck into the bathroom alone. Then, she carefully collected a small cup of urine sample and placed the pregnancy test kit in the cup.

Soon, one red line appeared and He Xiyan nervously stared at the result strip, waiting to see if the second line would appear. 10 seconds, 20 seconds ticked by… Time ticked by slowly and after 40 or even 50 seconds, the second line finally appeared. It was a faint watery line and only a very faint red color.

He Xiyan took the pregnancy test kit and stared at it for a long while, her heart racing.

She could not be absolutely sure but there was a possibility that she might be pregnant.

A child? Was she going to be a mother again?

She walked out of the toilet and came to the bedside. Ye Hao was still asleep on the bed. He didn’t have a good night sleep last night either thanks to her. It was rare to see him still asleep at this time and even the alarm didn’t manage to pull him from his slumber.

He Xiyan sat on the bedside and gently lifted a corner of the blanket, tucking him in snugly. She smiled softly as her gaze fell on his face, hope and happiness clear in her eyes. She had to admit that this man was extremely handsome and his features were very well-defined, just like an ice statue, masculine and intense. This was unlike the feminine and soft features of the younger men these days. From the first glance, one could already tell that he was very masculine and he carried himself with a very manly and handsome grace.

She looked away and gently caressed her stomach. She guessed that this news would make him overjoyed.

——

There were many people in the hospital at night and it was a long while before He Xiyan finally received the results from the blood test.

The data on the slip showed that she was clearly pregnant and was now five weeks along.

Qin Xiaoyu was so elated that she wanted to jump in excitement.

“You’re really, really pregnant!” She hugged He Xiyan and resisted the urge to cry in delight.

She had been fretting if Miss He would be able to marry into the Ye family because Yuan Yuan was not Mr. Ye’s child, but now, it seemed like this was almost a done deal.

He Xiyan nodded and looked at her belly. This was not the first time she was pregnant. She had also been pregnant this time last year, and that child was Yuan Yuan. However, this child of hers would be more fortunate than Yuan Yuan for this child would have both parents the moment the child was born and would even have a brother who was a year older.

The doctor reminded He Xiyan of some matters to take note of during the early stages of pregnancy, especially abstinence. He repeated the same thing thrice and also prescribed her something to protect and calm the fetus. After all, this was a woman who had only given birth six months ago and thus, it was too early for her next pregnancy. The risks were very high so she had to be exceptionally careful.

After the left the hospital, He Xiyan asked Qin Xiaoyu to hold on to her as she walked. The snow had only stopped for half a day so there was still a lot of snow gathered on the road and ice had even formed in some areas. She was worried that she might slip and fall by accident.

As the snow from the earlier huge snowfall had yet to be cleared, the parking space outside the hospital was still closed. Therefore, their car was parked by the side of the road, 300 meters from this place. They walked very slowly and carefully took each step.

They were almost halfway there when a piercing shout rang out from behind.

“He Xiyan, wait a minute!”
