Chapter 464: Opening

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Xiaoguo stared in shock at the father and son, who were fussing over her.

What was going on today? Was she dreaming, or was she really dreaming?!

Zhuang Zhuang wiped his red teary eyes and carefully threw himself onto Xiaoguo, calling out in a childish voice, “Mother…”

Her heart softened when she saw him crying and looking like he was begging for a hug.

Xiaoguo pushed away the blanket and gave Zhuang Zhuang a hug. She wiped the sweat on the little man’s forehead, feeling sorry for him. “Did your father bring you back?”

She was planning to pick him up tomorrow morning. She didn’t expect Jiang Danhe to suddenly come back today.

Zhuang Zhuang nodded silently. “Father said that he would give you a surprise and attend the store opening.”

…..

The little boy was crying so hard that he was almost out of breath. Xiaoguo stroked his back, still feeling very sorry for him.

Jiang Danhe looked like he had something to say, but in the presence of so many people, he was feeling a little shy. He could only stare at Xiaoguo and her stomach lovingly.

Qin Anming and the others stood at the doorway in mutual understanding and did not step further into the room, giving some privacy for the family of three, or rather, the family of four.

Looking at their beaming faces, Xiaoguo felt her face burning and couldn’t bear to look at them any longer. She turned her head to Jiang Danhe and asked, “Why did you come back suddenly?”

”Su Changsheng’s shop has just opened for business, and it’s doing quite well. Since your store is also opening soon, I thought I should rush back.”

Jiang Danhe arrived in the county this morning and first went to pick up Zhuang Zhuang. After which, he dropped by the noodle shop to inform them of his arrival. As soon as he got there, he heard from Uncle Xu and the others that Xiaoguo had fainted and was now at the medical center.

However, he didn’t know which clinic they had gone to, so he had no choice but to bring Zhuang Zhuang along to check at every clinic. No matter how sensible Zhuang Zhuang was, he was still a child. When he heard that his mother had fainted, he really felt like crying. However, he tried to hold it in, but eventually he still couldn’t stop himself from crying out loud along the way.

Jiang Danhe had no choice. He was feeling worried for Xiaoguo and sorry for Zhuang Zhuang at the same time. He could only try to soothe him while looking for the clinic together.

There were three major medical clinics and countless small ones in the entire county. After blindly searching for a few clinics, Jiang Danhe forced himself to calm down.

Based on his hunch, he went straight to a clinic that was nearest to the store. That turned out to be the one where Xiaoguo was taken to. Fortunately, she was there, and fortunately, she was okay.

The moment he saw her, his heart finally settled down.

At the thought of this, Jiang Danhe smiled and touched her stomach. As long as Xiaoguo and the baby were fine, everything was good.

The two of them still had a lot to say to each other, but it was not the right time and place to do so. They decided to talk more when they got home.

Xiaoguo was about to get off the bed when she was stopped by everyone. Unable to understand their actions, she looked at them in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

The fact that she was pregnant had not really sunk in yet, so she couldn’t comprehend their reactions.

“I’ll get the donkey cart.”

Jiang Danhe said with a smile.

“No need.”

Xiaoguo shook her head and was about to get out of bed when Zhuang Zhuang wrapped his arms around her. The boy knew his mother’s weaknesses, so without saying a word, he just looked at her pleadingly with his big eyes.

Xiaoguo finally succumbed, but she was still not used to their overly protective behavior towards her.

Hence, she insisted on walking back to the shop herself. The few of them had no choice but to accommodate her request. However, they supported her and huddled around her along the way. This scene made her look like a celebrity walking on the streets, and the rest who were surrounding her were her bodyguards.

Zhuang Zhuang even raised his arms to prevent passers-by from bumping into his mother.

The group was protecting her so carefully that Xiaoguo’s face was turning red from the onlookers’ curious looks. When she saw them whispering amongst themselves and pointing at her, she felt like running away. However, a large hand was holding onto her tightly, making it impossible for her to step away from the group.

“If I had known, I would have just remained inside the clinic. It’s better than making a scene out here.”

Seeing Xiaoguo’s awkward expression, Jiang Danhe didn’t say anything. He secretly kissed her on the head when no one was looking.

At the thought of their second child that was growing in her womb, his heart was almost melting. He could feel a constant surge of energy in his body that he didn’t know to expend. He was dying to run a few laps and shout at the top of his lungs to get it out of his system.

After a long walk, they finally made it home.

Xiaoguo wanted to check if there was anything that she had left out for the opening tomorrow. However, Jiang Danhe did not give her a chance. As soon as she arrived home, he carried her to the bed.

“What are you doing…?”

“You need a good rest. The fetus hasn’t stabilized yet, so the first three months are very crucial.”

Jiang Danhe seemed to be more experienced at this than Xiaoguo.

At this moment, Zhuang Zhuang handed her a glass of warm water. “Mother, drink some water.”

Xiaoguo had not been eating and drinking well for the past two days. At this moment, her lips were peeling and there was fatigue on her face. Both father and son were heartbroken to see her looking like that.

Seeing the pure joy in their eyes, Xiaoguo’s heart skipped a beat. She raised her hand and placed it on her stomach. “There is a little child inside here now…”

At this moment, a pair of small hands gently landed on her hands. Feeling surprised, Xiaoguo looked up at Zhuang Zhuang, who was smiling at her. Jiang Danhe also placed his hand on top of the boy’s hand.

This was the first interaction between the family of four.

“I’m pregnant,”

Xiaoguo suddenly blurted out those words.

Jiang Danhe nodded when he heard her. He looked into her eyes and said, “That’s right, it’s our second child.”

“My brother or sister.”

Zhuang Zhuang welcomed the arrival of the baby very much. Whether it was a baby brother or sister, he would definitely take good care of it.

It wasn’t until this moment that Xiaoguo truly felt the reality of her pregnancy.

At this moment, joy and anticipation filled her heart. She felt so guilty for her carelessness.

She should have been the first to notice any abnormalities in her own body, but she carelessly attributed them to other causes.

She started to recall herself not eating or drinking well, and not getting quality sleep during this period of time. She even stayed up late to work on the recipes. Later on, she also spent long hours inside the cellar. She had basically done everything that was unfavorable for the fetus.

According to the doctor, the child was very healthy. It was truly a blessing…

Xiaoguo stroked her stomach. It was such an obvious bump, but she didn’t notice it. She didn’t even think much of it when her period was late. She felt like a failure.

Jiang Danhe noticed that something was wrong with her and immediately guessed the reason. Without saying anything, he got up and hugged her, while Zhuang Zhuang followed his father’s example and did the same.

The three of them hugged each other tightly.

Although the child had come as a surprise, it still brought anticipation and joy to the family. From today onwards, they will officially become a family of four!

The three of them lay on the same bed and thought about the child’s gender, appearance, and name. The more they talked, the happier and more energetic they became.

However, Xiaoguo was starting to feel drowsy again due to her pregnancy symptoms. Just as Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang were discussing the child’s name, they suddenly heard the sound of steady breathing.

Jiang Danhe signaled to Zhuang Zhuang and the two of them looked at the sleeping Xiaoguo at the same time. They didn’t know if it was because of her pregnancy, but at this moment, she looked particularly gentle, and even her sleeping posture was so beautiful.

The father and son tacitly fell silent. They protected Xiaoguo from either side and followed her into dreamland.

The next morning, Xiaoguo arrived at the county with Jiang Danhe and Zhuang Zhuang.

Shu Botong, Xiao Zhu, and Yu Ling were also standing by and waiting for her arrival.

Shu Botong had picked up the signboard for the store, and the name of the store was very simple—it’s called “Xiaoguo’s Store”. After thinking for a long time, they couldn’t come up with a name that was as simple and memorable as this one.

Ruyi and Qin Anming had specially closed the shop for one day and had brought the shop staff over to support the store opening.

Although Su Changsheng did not come, his gifts were delivered on time.

When the auspicious hour arrived, the firecrackers sounded, attracting countless people to gather and watch.

As the items on sale were novel, the store attracted many curious customers to come in and explore.

They came in with the intention of giving the food a try, but unexpectedly, the taste exceeded their expectations..
