Daddy Always Gets Jealous

Wen Nuan thought for a moment, but didn’t mention yesterday’s incident. ”I’m just feeling down and wanted to talk with you.”

Che Huan smiled. ”Why are you feeling down?”

Wen Nuan pouted, she couldn’t exactly say that Qin Xiaosan was annoying, could she?

She said self-deprecatingly, ”Maybe my period is coming, and my hormone secretion is abnormal.”

Hearing her voice, Che Huan couldn’t help but laugh. ”Making a fuss over nothing.”

Thinking of Qin Moting, Wen Nuan cautiously asked, ”Sister Huanhuan, about Uncle...”

When Che Huan thought of Qin Moting, and then of her mother, she changed the subject. ”How are your Uncle and Aunt?”

Wen Nuan grumbled, ”Because of the lock-changing incident yesterday, I got thoroughly scolded. With a deep voice like that, how could he be unwell?”

Che Huan laughed again. ”Changing the locks?”

Remembering her embarrassing moment from the day before, Wen Nuan didn’t bring it up. ”I went out to buy things and forgot to take my keys.”

Che Huan thought about the huge sums of money added to Wen Nuan’s card, fearing Wen Nuan herself might not be aware of it yet.

She didn’t reveal it though.

Wen Nuan chattered about this and that, venting for a while, and her mood improved a lot. ”By the way, Sister Huanhuan, didn’t you say you wanted to retake the undergraduate courses?”

”Let’s talk about it after a week.”

Bringing this up, Che Huan wanted to ask Wen Nuan something and felt a bit uneasy, not knowing whether they would target Wen Nuan?

After a pause, her voice grew more serious. ”Nuannuan, it seems Hong Kong has been quite unsafe recently. After school starts, go out less and stay on campus unless necessary.”

Wen Nuan responded, and noticing an incoming call, she looked at her phone and saw it was from Qin Shaojin. She quickly said, ”Sister Huanhuan, I’m going to school tomorrow, I need to go pack my things.”

Che Huan hummed in response and hung up the phone, her thoughts turning to Jinxue. She must have started school too, hadn’t she?

Upon hearing a knock at the door, she walked over and opened it to see Zhong Qin. ”Mom, have you come back from your walk?”

Zhong Qin nodded. ”Huanhuan, why are your eyes swollen?”

Thinking of her earlier conversation with Nanny Rong about the little one crying, Che Huan laughed. ”An eyelash got into my eye, I spent ages in front of the mirror trying to get it out”

Zhong Qin examined her, ”Didn’t it scratch your eye?”

Che Huan shook her head. ”It’s fine now.”

Thinking about school, Zhong Qin looked at Che Huan. ”You’re going to register tomorrow, let Nanny Rong prepare for you.”

Che Huan remembered what Huo Jinnan had said, fearing that she wouldn’t be able to protect herself if she went to that place and would instead hinder him. ”Mom, I...”

Considering she had already mentioned it to Mother Zhong, and everything was already arranged, but now suddenly saying to wait another week felt like a slap in Mother Zhong’s face, Che Huan found herself at a loss for words.

Seeing the situation, Nanny Rong, remembering the instructions given to her by the master earlier, quickly helped Che Huan smooth things over. ”Madam, I think the young madam seems like she might be pregnant. If there is a child, it’s better for her to rest at home. I heard the master say that the young madam has some anemia and asked me to pay special attention when cooking, to nourish the young madam. If she really is pregnant, she can’t be without care, and needs constant attention, as anemia can easily lead to fainting during pregnancy.”

”Really?” Zhong Qin looked at Che Huan happily. ”Are you truly pregnant?”

Che Huan, a little embarrassed, blushed. ”I don’t know yet, Nanny Rong was just speculating.”

Zhong Qin noticed that Che Huan indeed looked a bit pale and thought of her excessive sleepiness lately, which did resemble pregnancy symptoms. ”Is your period approaching?”

Che Huan responded naturally, ”In the next few days.”

Zhong Qin smiled. ”Well then, I’ll talk to them, give them a heads up. Let’s wait a week. If you’re pregnant, you can stay home to rest, and if not, you can go report to them. Doesn’t that work out perfectly?”

Che Huan sighed in relief and thought of Jinxue. Turning to Zhong Qin, she said, ”Mom, can you give me Jinxue’s address? I bought some things and am planning to send them to her.”
