I Became Super Rich After Resigning-Chapter 41 - The Day I Wasn’t Drunk

Chapter 41: Chapter 41 The Day I Wasn’t Drunk

Huo Shiyuan asked, “So you’re not willing to go back to live with the Chu Family, not because you married me and are living with me, but because you don’t want to see Chu Yan and pretend to have a deep sisterly bond?”

Yuan Xi nodded, “Yeah, and I guess it’s also because Ruohu holds the most beautiful memories of my childhood. Everyone says that you spend your life making up for your childhood, and I’m fortunate that my childhood is enough to heal the most difficult times of my life.”

After returning to the Ruohu Mansion, Yuan Xi saw a full table of dishes, still warm. It was clear that the chef had just prepared a late-night snack.

Huo Shiyuan said to Yuan Xi, “I asked the chef to prepare it when we were out. Have something to eat.”

Yuan Xi touched her chin, “Eating at this hour won’t make me gain weight, will it?”

Huo Shiyuan said, “You won’t get fat from one meal.”

Yuan Xi ate the food with a clear conscience; the cooking of Huo Shiyuan’s chef really suited her taste.

…

Early Saturday morning, at the hospital.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyuan arrived at the hospital bright and early. Even though it was a private hospital, it was still a bit crowded on weekends.

Yuan Xi had made an appointment in advance and was quickly queued up for her examination.

While waiting for the results, Yuan Xi was a bit nervous, “This time they can only check the fetal heartbeat and the embryo. We have to wait until the ninth week to get a preliminary view of any abnormalities.”

Huo Shiyuan, listening to Yuan Xi’s words, said, “How could there be any abnormalities?”

“We were both drunk that night, weren’t we?” Yuan Xi said quietly, “I heard that getting pregnant while drunk can be harmful to the child…”

Huo Shiyuan said, “I didn’t drink much, and I wasn’t drunk.”

Yuan Xi said, “But that night you clearly said you were drunk…”

Huo Shiyuan said, “If I hadn’t said that, Gu Hanchen would have kept making you toast me all night; in fact, I wasn’t drunk at all that day.”

The sentence “I wasn’t drunk at all” exploded in Yuan Xi’s mind like a bomb. So, she was the only one drunk that day?

“Yuan Xi.”

Yuan Xi heard her name called and entered the examination room.

The doctor said, “Both babies’ heartbeats have been detected. Your pregnancy reactions will get more severe; eat more foods that are high in vitamins CA, and try to relax more. Come back around eleven weeks for an initial screening for abnormalities.”

“Okay, thank you, doctor.”

The doctor looked at Yuan Xi and said, “Make sure you don’t overwork yourself. Today your boss is finally not calling you.”

Yuan Xi smiled, clearly remembering the last time she was there, continually rushed by calls from Gu Hanchen, “Today’s Saturday.”

Huo Shiyuan reached out to help Yuan Xi up, and she was taken aback, “I don’t need help to stand yet.”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “I’m just practicing.”

As they went downstairs, they encountered a neonatal area where babies were swimming and sunbathing.

The soft and tender infants were lined up in their cribs, basking in the sunlight through the glass.

Before, Yuan Xi didn’t have much sentiment for children, and even because Mi Chen Game had a significant number of bratty players, she didn’t have any particular longing to have a child of her own.

But now that she was expecting, she found herself quite fond of the idea; in this world, only the two children in her belly were the closest to her.

Seeing so many soft and tender infants now, a faint smile appeared on Yuan Xi’s face, “They are all so cute.”

Before long, she too would have two soft and cute babies.

“Shiyan, have you ever taken care of children before? Like siblings or anything?”

Huo Shiyan said, “I don’t have any younger brothers or sisters, but when I was young, I used to help a friend take care of her cousin. Thinking about it, he should be getting ready for his college entrance exam soon.”

As soon as Huo Shiyan’s words concluded, Yuan Xi’s phone rang. After answering, a young boy’s voice came through from the other side.

“Sis, what’s with the rumors online? Did you get married? Why didn’t you tell us about your marriage?”

“I just found out you got married!”

“I went home and asked Grandpa, Grandma, Dad, and Mom, and none of them knew you were married. How could you not tell us about something as big as getting married?”

Yuan Xi listened to the young voice on the phone and glanced at Huo Shiyan, whispering, “I didn’t mean to keep it a secret from Grandma and Grandpa. It’s just that I didn’t know how to tell them about my sudden marriage. I’ll come back later.”

“Come back? You can come back now? That evil capitalist Gu Hanchen is willing to let you go? I was even thinking about choosing law as my major after my college entrance exam so that I could properly judge that wicked capitalist Gu Hanchen!”

Yuan Xi chuckled lightly, “Tell Grandma and Grandpa that I’ll come back today, and I’ll bring your brother-in-law with me.”

“He married you without our consent, so how is he any brother-in-law of mine? At least he’s not considered one in my heart right now!”

After hanging up the phone, Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan, “That was my cousin’s call. I haven’t yet informed Grandma and Grandpa about my marriage and finding my family. I really don’t know how to tell them… I was thinking… of taking you with me today and telling them in person.”

Being pregnant before marriage and subsequently having a shotgun wedding, Yuan Xi simply didn’t dare to tell her elders.

Especially Grandma and Grandpa, who in their entire lives had only traveled as far as City A for a check-up.

They had spent their entire lives in Huxi Village, and their mindset simply couldn’t accept the idea of a girl getting pregnant before marriage.

Huo Shiyan said, “Okay, I happen to be free today.”

Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan, “Could you say we dated for a year before getting married? My grandparents can’t accept the fact that I was pregnant before marriage. They both had surgery before and can’t be upset by me…”

Huo Shiyan said, “Okay.”

…

At the Chu Family.

The Yang Family had a tradition of meeting for a meal once a month, and Yang Ying had risen early to check on the gifts.

Chu Qing asked Yang Ying, “Why hasn’t Xinxin come over yet?”

Yang Ying said, “Did you tell Xinxin about going to her uncle’s house for the gathering?”

Chu Qing said, “I thought you told her, didn’t you?”

Yang Ying said, “I thought you did. Oh dear, it’s my fault. I’ll quickly give Xinxin a call and have the driver pick them up.”

When Yang Ying called Yuan Xi, she was busy selecting gifts for her grandparents with Huo Shiyan.

“That’s right, just this cordyceps should be enough… Hello, Mom.”

Yang Ying said, “Are you out shopping?”

Yuan Xi replied, “Hmm, buying gifts to visit my grandparents.”

Yang Ying chuckled, “Your brother must have told you, remember to come early.”

Yuan Xi felt a bit perplexed, and fearing that Huo Shiyan might choose some extravagant gifts that her grandparents wouldn’t use and would worry about, she simply agreed with a “Sure” and hung up the phone.

“Shiyan, there’s no need to buy the best quality cordyceps, ordinary ones are fine. If you buy high quality, my Grandpa will get angry. I’ve been giving this for years, and he’s used to it. It’s the thought that counts for the elderly.”

Huo Shiyan said, “Grandpa getting upset before was just because he’s concerned about you and didn’t want you to waste your hard-earned money. As a son-in-law making his first visit, I can’t fall short on manners.”

Yuan Xi also felt that what Huo Shiyan said made sense and didn’t protest further.

Over at the Chu Family, Yang Ying said to Chu Qing, “Xinxin is already picking out gifts for her grandparents. It must have been Lin’er who told her about today’s gathering at her uncle’s house.”

Chu Qing said, “That’s good, we should head out too.”
