In the end, she did see the meteor shower. However, it wasn’t as she had imagined. She had thought that she would be sitting on the grass with Lu Linshen, shoulders touching, with the wind gently blowing, surrounded only by the sounds of nature. In this peaceful and tranquil atmosphere, they would watch a romantic meteor shower together.

In reality, she was groggily shaken awake by him, her eyes relaxed, on the edge of waking up. Then, he picked her up and carried her to the balcony to watch this breathtaking meteor shower.

“Suisui, make a wish,” he said.

“Okay, let’s make a wish together.” After saying that, she slowly closed her eyes, taking the opportunity to make a wish to the heavens. Her wish remained the same as before:
— She hoped to grow old with Lu Linshen.
— She hoped their lost baby would come find them soon.

After making her wish, she turned to look at Lu Linshen and found that he had already made his wish and was staring at her intently.

“Did you make your wish?” she asked him.

Lu Linshen nodded and said he did. She was a bit surprised, as he had never believed in such things before. He always trusted himself more than wishes. The fact that she had asked him to make a wish had been an unconscious reaction. She didn’t expect him to actually make one.

Curious, she couldn’t help but ask, “Lu Linshen, what did you wish for?”

He teased her, “Suisui, that’s a secret. I’ll tell you when it comes true.”

Although she didn’t know exactly what his wish was, she guessed it had something to do with her.

After the meteor shower ended, she realized that Lu Linshen hadn’t slept all night. He had waited all night for the meteor shower to come for her. She couldn’t help but tiptoe up and kiss him softly. When their lips parted, she said seriously, “Lu Linshen, thank you.”

Thank you for everything you’ve done for me, even when it wasn’t easy.

Lu Linshen stroked his lips with one hand while his other hand gripped her waist, pressing her against the transparent glass window. Without a sound, he leaned in, his straight nose touching her cheek, his breath brushing against her like feathers, once and again, stirring her heart.

She felt not only wrapped in his arms but also enveloped by his breath, tightly surrounding her.

“Suisui, is this how you’re thanking me? Doesn’t it feel a bit perfunctory?”

She let out a soft, coquettish hum. “Then how do you want me to thank you?”

Lu Linshen asked in return, “What you mean is, if I want you to thank me a certain way, you’ll do it, right?”

“Mm, why aren’t you saying anything?”

Lu Linshen rubbed his nose against hers again.

Meng Suihuan: “… You’re too close, you’re stealing all the air from me.”

“Haha.” Lu Linshen laughed lightly, his voice pleasant. “Alright, I’ll give it back to you right now.”

He stepped back a little, and just as she let out a long breath, his wrist was tightly grabbed, and a storm of kisses swept over her, once again stealing away the precious breaths she had just managed to take.

Meng Suihuan: “……”

He’s really getting worse and worse.
Is this “returning the favor”? No, this is clearly plundering! And he still has the nerve to look innocent, as if he’s the one who gained something and is pretending to be good.

“Suisui, don’t look at me like that. Otherwise, I’m afraid I won’t be able to stop. Besides kissing you, I might want to do something else.”

Sometimes, Meng Suihuan can be a bit slow to catch on. If her stomach hadn’t been hurting, she might not have noticed that her period was late. What does a late period mean? She didn’t dare to think too much about it and hurried to the hospital for a checkup.

While waiting for the results, Lu Linshen called her, and when he heard the sounds of the hospital, he asked sharply if she was feeling unwell.

“Lu Linshen, I’m fine, it’s just that my period is late, so I came for a checkup…” After all, both of them had been hoping for a child and had tried various ways to conceive. Naturally, Lu Linshen knew what she meant by her words. His breath tightened, and his voice became tense.

“Which hospital are you at? Have the results come out yet?”

Even though the results hadn’t been given yet, he immediately rushed over.

Qin Yu, watching his boss leave, looked enviously at Lu Linshen’s back and wrapped his arms around himself. “Hey, Lao Xu, the way Lu Ge protects Meng Jie, like she’s his precious eye, makes me want to fall in love too.” He nudged Xu Xuanyi with his elbow.

“Do you know any suitable girls around you? Help a brother out and introduce me to one.”

Xu Xuanyi rolled his eyes at him, coldly replying, “Do you really want me to introduce someone to you?”

“No,” Qin Yu quickly shook his head. After all, Lao Xu is great in many ways, but his taste in women is questionable. In his eyes, all women are either “capable” or “incapable,” “older” or “younger.” To him, everything else doesn’t matter.

“I was just saying it casually. Lao Xu, just listen and don’t take it to heart.”

“Being single isn’t so bad, though. Otherwise, you’d be all alone. That’s kind of lonely.”

Xu Xuanyi: “…”

Lu Linshen rushed to the hospital in a panic, searching around, and finally found Meng Suihuan. He was panting as he looked at her. “Suisui, how are the results?”

He said that in a short sentence, taking three breaths in between.

Meng Suihuan took some tissues from her bag to wipe his sweat and made room for him to sit. “The results aren’t out yet. You should sit down and rest.”

Lu Linshen took the tissues, wiped his sweat, and let out a long sigh. “Suisui, I’m not tired if you’re sitting. Go ahead and sit down.”

Fortunately, they didn’t stand for long, and soon it was their turn. They nervously walked into the doctor’s office, and Lu Linshen couldn’t help but ask first. “Doctor, how is it? Is my wife pregnant?”

The middle-aged female doctor gave him a cold, disapproving glance. “She is pregnant, but if you don’t control yourself, this child might not survive.”

“Doctor, what do you mean by that?” Lu Linshen’s mind, which usually works at a high speed, slowed down at this moment, almost like a system crash. He desperately tried to process the information, but it was still unclear.

The doctor wasn’t annoyed. She handed him the results and spoke seriously. “Young man, you need to be more disciplined at times like this. If something happens, I don’t know who you’ll blame.”

Meng Suihuan, though confused, understood the doctor’s words and quickly snapped back to reality, asking, “Doctor, we didn’t know I was pregnant. We’ll definitely be more careful from now on. How’s the baby doing?”

“The baby is stable for now, but there are signs of a potential miscarriage. You’ll need to be extra careful and take care of yourself. I’m prescribing some supplements to help with your nourishment.”

While the doctor continued to advise them, Lu Linshen’s brain slowly began to recover, and he was able to follow the doctor’s pace.

“Is there anything else we need to do? Do we need any additional tests?”

Hearing that there were signs of a potential miscarriage, Lu Linshen felt both guilty and worried, especially since this baby was something he and Suisui had both been hoping for so long. But he almost lost their baby.

“The situation is good, no need to overdo it. Just rest well and take care of yourself. The fetus is stable now, so be careful, don’t have sex, and be more disciplined.”

Lu Linshen quickly agreed and then asked, “Doctor, can you tell me more about what I should pay attention to, such as diet or other precautions? I’ll make notes.”

Seeing that he was sincere, the doctor’s tone softened a little, and she gave a detailed list of precautions and symptoms they should watch out for in the coming stages. Lu Linshen took careful notes, fearing that he might miss something important.

When they left the hospital, it was almost comical. Lu Linshen was like a bodyguard, staying close by her side, worried she might bump into something. He told her to slow down and be careful with every step.

“Lu Linshen, stop being so dramatic. People were staring at me on the way here! Besides, the doctor only told us to be cautious, not to treat me like I’m a fragile Buddha statue!”

“Okay, I know. Suisui, don’t be mad.”

As expected, his next line was, “The doctor said you need to stay happy and avoid getting angry.”

Meng Suihuan: “…”

After becoming pregnant, Meng Suihuan discovered a different side of Lu Linshen.

He, who used to be a workaholic, now leaves work on time. The man who once disliked sharing, now can’t help but mention the word “baby” every day. He even went to ask Lu Xiuhe, Zhao Chen, and Lu’s parents for advice, asking them about the things that need attention during pregnancy. As a result, half a day after she found out she was pregnant, almost everyone knew.

Aside from these things, Lu Linshen’s care for her also improved tremendously. He took care of everything—her clothing, food, living, and transportation. He even kept an eye on her emotional responses. If she tossed and turned in bed at night or ate less than she did the day before, he would immediately ask if she was feeling unwell.

In short, she started to believe the saying that a man truly matures the moment he becomes a father.

Since becoming pregnant, she had taken a step back from company matters, but she still cared deeply about Suihuan Hall. From the design phase to the completion of the project, she kept track of every detail. Everything was progressing in an orderly fashion.

While pregnant, she felt extremely sleepy and had morning sickness, but these didn’t stop her from continuing to manage Suihuan Hall’s affairs. Lu Linshen had been concerned and tried to persuade her to take it easy, not to rush things. She initially had the same mindset, but as her research progressed and the more information she gathered, the more she saw how many people across the country were in need of help. How could she stop now?

“Suisui, I know you care a lot about Suihuan Hall and want to help more people as quickly as possible, just like I do. But I hope that while you’re helping them, you’ll also take better care of yourself and the baby. You’ve been staying up late working on plans, eating poorly, and not sleeping well. If you keep going like this, it’ll damage your health and delay things even more.”

Meng Suihuan quietly defended herself. “I’m not eating poorly or sleeping badly. It’s just morning sickness, which every pregnant woman goes through.”

She had been throwing up whatever she ate, which made Lu Linshen extremely worried. Just a few days ago, he hired a professional nanny to handle her meals, making sure to vary her meals to help her eat a little more and suffer a little less. But she still threw up anyway.

“Don’t worry. I’ve asked the doctor, and they said it’s normal. It’ll get better in a couple of months.”

“Besides, I’m not staying up all night. Suihuan Hall is about to open, and things are busy and complicated. The processes and details need to be verified, so I’ve been taking a bit more responsibility. Once this period is over, I won’t be so busy. You don’t have to worry, I know my limits. I’ll take care of myself and the baby.”

Lu Linshen was helpless but resigned himself to it. “Is there anything else to check? I’ll help you organize it.”

Meng Suihuan shook her head and refused. “No need. You’ve been busy for half a month already. You’re finally getting some rest tonight. Go to bed early.”

Recently, Wu Hai Net’s search engine had a few bugs, and he, along with Lao Qin and Lao Xu, had been working nonstop to fix it and upgrade the system. After working through the night for a week, his eyes were now heavily rimmed with dark circles.

“I’ll do it. We can do it together, and I’ll sleep next to you. I can’t sleep well without you by my side.”

After saying that, he walked directly to her side and sat down to help her organize.

The two of them worked together for half an hour. Lu Linshen was meticulous and serious, but Meng Suihuan couldn’t fully focus on her work. Instead, she kept glancing at him, noticing how exhausted he looked. Eventually, she gave up, closed the documents, pouted, and reached out her hand to him.

“I’m not looking anymore. I’m tired. Lu Linshen, please carry me to bed.”
