Chapter 134: The Child Even Gets Jealous

After Bai Youwei explained everything to Jiang Yubing, she took her leave.

After all, the next moments belonged to their family joyfully celebrating together.

If she stayed here any longer, it would seem out of place.

……

On the top floor of the Jiangbei Group, in the chairman’s office.

Jiang Liang looked at a contract laid out before him, his brows tightly knit.

At this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open with a bang.

Next, Chen Jinxuan hurriedly walked in.

“So old already, how can you still be so reckless?”

Placing the fountain pen he had used to sign the paper onto the desk, Jiang Liang finally looked up at Chen Jinxuan and spoke in a slightly reproachful tone.

“I was going to share some huge news with you, but if that’s your attitude, forget it!”

Chen Jinxuan said this and turned as if to leave.

Hearing this, Jiang Liang immediately became interested.

But after spending decades in the business world, he trained himself to keep his emotions hidden.

So even though he felt very curious, his expression remained calm.

“Go ahead, I’m listening.”

Being husband and wife for so many years, Chen Jinxuan naturally knew his temperament.

She didn’t keep him in suspense this time.

Her face overflowed with irrepressible joy, and she raised her voice to say, “You’re going to be a great-grandfather!”

This sentence struck Jiang Liang like a bolt of lightning; he sprang up from his seat.

“Really… really?”

He couldn’t help but ask.

After seeing her nod in confirmation, Jiang Liang no longer cared about maintaining his composure. He smiled broadly, walking toward the elevators.

“Hey, what about your work for the company?”

Chen Jinxuan followed close behind.

“That trivial stuff can wait until tomorrow!”

“Weren’t you just saying this business was urgent? You’ll probably lose a lot if you breach the contract!”

Chen Jinxuan teased.

Jiang Liang always handled work rigorously and conscientiously.

She had never seen him like this before.

“Lose money, so be it!”

Jiang Liang did not slow down, his voice drifting away.

“Hey… wait for me!”

“At our age, can’t you be as mature and steady as me?”

……

Outside the hospital.

Shen Qingxuan dialed the last phone call.

“Hao, I have some great news!”

Zhang Yunhao guessed, “You helped me get that rank?”

“Not that.”

“Your sister-in-law is pregnant!”

Shen Qingxuan wore a look of unabashed pride.

After speaking, he waited quietly for Zhang Yunhao’s reaction.

“Holy crap! You two moved that fast?”

Thinking it was a bit inappropriate to say that at such a time, Zhang Yunhao hurried to cover up, “Sorry Brother Xuan, I got too excited for a moment.”

“Congratulations, Brother Xuan. Congratulations to sister-in-law, too.”

He congratulated first, then ventured carefully, “But with your current status, you probably don’t care for my little token money?”

He wasn’t to blame for thinking that way; after all, as a college freshman, he didn’t have much living expenses.

And Jiang Yubing came from a well-off family. If the token money was too low, he’d feel embarrassed.

“No worries, just get together tomorrow.”

Shen Qingxuan naturally understood his meaning.

He made this call not really for the token money.

In his view, they were close brothers-in-law, so money didn’t matter.

But what puzzled Shen Qingxuan was—

When did he become so well-off when he didn’t even have a few bucks to his name?

“Rest easy, Brother Xuan. I’ll definitely be there tomorrow. I’ll treat you!”

“Then you’d better go all out tomorrow.”

“No problem.”

They chatted a bit longer before he hung up.

Meanwhile, Lin Yun also arrived.

She took Jiang Yubing’s hand and started asking all sorts of concerned questions.

Shen Qingxuan simply stood aside, watching in silence.

Soon after, Shen Haiyang also arrived in a hurry.

The moment he saw Lin Yun, his expression darkened.

“My dear Yun, I can’t believe you’re that kind of person.”

“So you finally got tired of me, didn’t you!”

Shen Haiyang’s tone was full of accusation.

Lin Yun looked utterly bewildered.

On such a joyful day, what nonsense was he spouting?

She felt too good to bother with such trifles.

Frowning, she said, “Don’t force me to slap you in front of Bingbing!”

“So you really changed heart, such a big reaction for one sentence.”

Shen Haiyang immediately made a scene.

Seeing this, Jiang Yubing suddenly remembered what Bai Youwei said before leaving.

She quickly explained, “Dad, I think you misunderstood.”

“What do you mean?”

Shen Haiyang looked stunned.

“Dad, I’m actually the one who’s pregnant.”

Jiang Yubing kept it short and clear.

At first, Shen Haiyang froze, but then his wrinkles gathered into a huge smile.

At the same time, he kept murmuring, “That’s wonderful! I’m going to be a grandpa!”

After the excitement passed, Shen Haiyang finally remembered the culprit who almost caused him an embarrassment.

But since Jiang Yubing was present, He forced a slightly awkward smile and looked at Shen Qingxuan, saying, “As expected of my good son.”

“Come on, let’s have a little talk, just father and son.”

Hearing this, Shen Qingxuan suddenly felt a bad premonition creep into his heart.

“Dad, we’re all family—what can’t be said in front of everyone?”

“Let’s go, some topics aren’t for Bingbing’s ears.”

Seeing his father approach, Shen Qingxuan’s unease only grew.

He quickly stepped behind Jiang Yubing, making her stand in front of him protectively.

Shen Haiyang, seeing this and having no other recourse, could only resort to taunts: “What kind of man hides behind his wife? No sense of duty at all!”

But he underestimated Shen Qingxuan’s thick skin.

No matter how hard Shen Haiyang tried, his son kept hiding behind Jiang Yubing, unmoved.

Shen Haiyang eventually gave up, helpless.

Seeing his father stop pursuing the matter, Shen Qingxuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Sticking to his principle that he just couldn’t be comfortable unless he annoyed his dad, he naturally didn’t plan to let this go.

Shen Qingxuan beamed, testingly suggesting, “Father, isn’t this massive occasion worth a proper celebration?”

How could Shen Haiyang not see through his son’s little trick?

But thinking that he was going to be a grandpa soon, He agreed with a good mood.

……

During the celebration, Both families discussed the wedding date again.

They finally decided, by unanimous agreement, to hold the wedding on March 8th next year.

The couple themselves had no objections, as their feelings had already grown to this point.

After the celebration ended, the two returned to the bridal suite.

On the sofa, Jiang Yubing lay in Shen Qingxuan’s arms. She gently stroked her little belly and asked, “Husband, do you want a boy or a girl?”

“I want either!”

Shen Qingxuan laughed, stroking her head in a gentle tone.

In his mind, there really was no difference between a boy and a girl.

But Jiang Yubing wasn’t satisfied with that answer and pressed, “But if you had to choose one?”

Without thinking, Shen Qingxuan answered, “Mmm… a girl, I guess.”

Jiang Yubing lifted her head, staring straight at him.

“Why?”

Smiling, Shen Qingxuan replied, “Don’t they say daughters are their daddy’s cotton-padded jackets?”

“Hmph!” Jiang Yubing turned away. “So if we have a daughter, you’ll ignore me?”

Seeing her like this, Shen Qingxuan couldn’t help but sigh.

The cool and aloof school beauty, known to all, had gotten jealous of her own child.
