Pregnancy

Early the next morning, after dropping Keke and Yuyou off at school, Ye Shuang drove straight to the agreed-upon location.

Chen Qin was already waiting there early. Tall and slender, she wore a high-end black-and-white dress that was particularly eye-catching. She wasn't even wearing any jewelry; just standing there with her sunglasses on and holding her bag with both hands gave her the aura of a wealthy, beautiful young woman.

"Hey gorgeous, where are we heading for fun?" Ye Shuang parked the car next to her, rolled down the window, and smiled. "Wanna go for a spin with me?"

"I can't. I'm waiting for my husband," Chen Qin's lips curled up as she swayed her body slightly, looking rather cute.

"Do I look like him?" Ye Shuang pointed at himself.

"Maybe a little bit?"

"Alright then, I'll go hit on other girls."

"Don't you dare!" Chen Qin immediately trotted over with a smile and got into the car. As she sat in the passenger seat, Ye Shuang caught the faint scent of her perfume. It smelled wonderful, the kind that wasn't too overpowering.

"Where to?" Chen Qin took off her sunglasses. She wore light makeup, clearly having prepared meticulously for today's date.

Although she asked, Chen Qin actually already had plans in mind. If Ye Shuang didn't know where to go, she would just go with her own arrangements. If Ye Shuang already had a destination, she naturally wouldn't object.

Her main goal was simply not to make things difficult for Ye Shuang, letting him take the lead.

"Let's go to the amusement park," Ye Shuang said. After all, he had hardly ever been to an amusement park with Chen Qin. Come to think of it, he had taken Bai Yuyou and An Shiyu, but never Chen Qin.

"Okay, let's go!"

Chen Qin seemed to be in a very good mood. After all, she never asked for much; to put it plainly, just being able to stay by Ye Shuang's side was enough to satisfy her.

However, perhaps due to the morning rush hour, the road to the amusement park was slightly congested.

Ye Shuang accidentally noticed Chen Qin briefly covering her nose, frowning slightly.

"What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

"It's nothing... I just feel a little nauseous. Maybe it's because I didn't eat breakfast." Chen Qin shook her head and quickly gave a sweet smile.

"You have a weak stomach. How many times have I told you to make sure you eat your breakfast?"

Ye Shuang said. Seeing that the light ahead was still red, he took out a pack of cheese bread from Yuyou's little stash in the car. "Eat a piece to fill your stomach."

Chen Qin said, "Cheese will make me fat."

"It's better to have a bit of meat on your bones," Ye Shuang smiled. Besides, Chen Qin wasn't fat at all; she just looked full-figured because certain assets were rather well-endowed.

Chen Qin reached out, took the bread, and began taking small bites. During this, she didn't forget to feed Ye Shuang. "Ye, you have some too."

"You eat it, I already had breakfast." Ye Shuang looked at the bread with a bite taken out of it and took a bite from that exact spot.

Chen Qin smiled happily and continued eating.

"Ye, you know how I was feeling nauseous? Could it be that I'm pregnant?" She suddenly seemed to think of something and asked.

Ye Shuang, who was driving, paused for a moment. He then turned his head, his gaze falling on Chen Qin's lower abdomen.

"Hmm... it's possible."

"Even though it was the safe period, you filled it up entirely every time." Chen Qin's face flushed slightly.

"Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up later?" Ye Shuang asked.

"Hehe, I'm just kidding." Chen Qin held up a finger. "My period actually came right on time."

If that was the case, it ruled out the possibility of pregnancy.

"Ye, let me ask you something."

"What is it?"

"If I were pregnant, what would you do? Would you make me abort it?" Chen Qin asked curiously.

"Why would I make you abort it?" Ye Shuang was taken aback.

"Hmm... because some men don't want kids so soon, they want to focus on their careers and stuff." Chen Qin touched her lower abdomen. "What about you, Ye? What are your thoughts?"

"I..." Ye Shuang paused. "To me, family is more important than my career."

Chen Qin asked softly, "Then would you marry me?"

Seeing Chen Qin's cautious demeanor, Ye Shuang could not help but recall the tsundere Chen Qin from the other timeline. Perhaps because of the contrast, his heart ached for her a little, and he said softly,

"Of course I would marry you, regardless of whether there's a child or not."

"Hehe." Hearing this, Chen Qin seemed very happy. In truth, she wasn't demanding a promise from Ye Shuang; even if he was just coaxing her with words, she would give him her complete trust.

...

Taking quite a bit more time than expected to arrive at the amusement park, Ye Shuang and Chen Qin walked side-by-side to the ticket booth.

"Huh?"

"Ah?" Sitting at the ticket booth was a familiar short-haired girl. Ye Shuang hadn't expected An Shiyu to be here.

The two humans and one fish stared at each other for a few seconds. No one spoke.

"If you want to buy tickets, don't block the customers behind you," a certain fish said with a highly professional tone.

Ye Shuang felt helpless. "Why did you run off to become a ticket seller now?"

Logically speaking, An Shiyu shouldn't repeat the same profession, right?

Although this was a pattern Ye Shuang had figured out, given An Shiyu's personality, she probably only experienced each profession for a short while, or just once.

But thinking about it carefully—

That driver, Master An, seemed to have gotten quite a few bad reviews, didn't she?

"You're the one who asked for leave, not going to the company or the school," An Shiyu muttered after hearing Ye Shuang's question. However, her voice was so quiet that Ye Shuang didn't catch it. She waved her small hand.

"Buying tickets, right?"

"One couple's ticket." Ye Shuang glanced at the prices and finally pointed at it.

"Alright, two single tickets." An Shiyu handed the tickets over.

Ye Shuang: "..."

"Did I not make myself clear?"

"Scan the code here. Next." An Shiyu was already shooing Ye Shuang away. At this moment, Ye Shuang looked at the two tickets in his hand, then glanced at Chen Qin beside him.

"It's fine, as long as we can get into the amusement park." Chen Qin held Ye Shuang's arm and said softly, "Thank you, Little Yu."

"Oh," An Shiyu rested her cheek on one hand and replied lazily.

At that moment, the platinum little fish on her wrist was still dangling.

Ye Shuang didn't say much else. After telling An Shiyu to work hard, he walked straight into the amusement park with Chen Qin.

Watching the backs of the two entering the amusement park, An Shiyu's gaze followed them all the way inside.

Until the customer standing in front of the window spoke up, "Ticket seller, what are you spacing out for? Are you deaf?"

An Shiyu retracted her gaze and then glanced at the customer at the window. "Rush, rush, rush. Who told you I was a ticket seller? Have you ever seen such a cute ticket seller?"

The customer was stunned for a moment. "Huh?"

At this point, An Shiyu slowly stood up, shoved her hands into her pockets, and turned to leave, leaving a small line of customers staring blankly.

Customers: Wait, what?
