At the age of 38, he went to college and his children were classmates.

"Second Aunt, are you carsick?"

"I've never seen my second aunt get carsick before!"

Shen Yanran muttered to herself.

"I guess the flight was too long!"

Lin Jiayu, who was playing on her phone, casually replied.

"Hmm, maybe!"

Shen Yanran thought that made sense; she also felt uncomfortable when she was on a plane for a long time.

roadside.

After vomiting, Lin Xiamo finally felt a little better. She rinsed her mouth with the mineral water that Shen Qiushan handed her, and then whispered, "I think I'm pregnant."

"what?"

Shen Qiushan was taken aback at first, then overjoyed and excitedly hugged Lin Xiamo.

"Really?"

"Did you go to the hospital for a checkup?"

Shen Qiushan asked excitedly.

He was finally able to empathize with men who had children late in life.

"It hasn't been checked yet."

"I've been busy with the Spring Festival Gala production team lately and haven't had time to go to the hospital, but I looked up the symptoms of early pregnancy online and they match my description."

"Also, I took a pregnancy test, and it showed two lines!"

"However, early pregnancy test strips have a certain error rate, so it is still necessary to rely on hospital examinations for accuracy."

Lin Xiamo said softly.

"Yes, yes, let's go to the hospital now!"

Shen Qiushan said repeatedly.

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year!

"Let's go in a couple of days. There's no rush. Besides, my dad is waiting for us at home!"

"He hasn't gotten past that hurdle yet!"

Lin Xiamo said softly again.

"okay!"

"It's all up to you!"

Shen Qiushan nodded.

inside the car.

Lin Jiayu, who was playing on her phone, glanced out the car window and her mouth dropped open in an "O" shape. She nudged Shen Yanran next to her with her arm and exclaimed, "Yanran, look! Your dad is hugging my sister!"

"What's going on with them?"

"They can't actually be together, can they?!"

"That means my brother-in-law..."

"Uh, it's still my brother-in-law!!"

In this car, Lin Jiayu was probably the only one who didn't know that Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo were together.

Why do I say "probably"?
Shen Yanran wasn't entirely sure either; she just felt that her father and second aunt had a close relationship, and Shen Yixiao seemed to have hinted at it a few times.

Now the truth has finally come out: the two are together!

Otherwise, how could they be hugging each other?

But she was a little confused as to why they suddenly hugged each other again.
"Oh my God!"

"Could my second aunt be pregnant?"

Shen Yanran exclaimed in surprise. Her reasoning ability was quite strong, and she quickly deduced the consequences by combining the causes and events.

"what?"

"Pregnant??"

Lin Jiayu's eyes widened in disbelief: "No way?"

"My sister is pregnant? And the child is your dad's??"

"Auntie, Shen Yanran, your information is way behind the times! I already knew they were together!"

Finally able to reveal the answer without restraint, Shen Yixiao said with a smug look on his face.

"You already knew?"

Shen Yanran and Lin Jiayu both looked at him.

"Of course!"

"I've known for a long time!"

"However, this is a secret between my father and me."

Shen Yixiao curled his lip smugly.

"You bastard, Shen Yixiao!"

"Such a big thing and they didn't even tell me!"

Shen Yanran glared angrily at her younger brother.

"My father forbids me to tell."

"What can I do!"

Shen Yixiao shrugged, feigning helplessness.

At this moment, Chen Qingzhu interrupted them, saying, "It's enough for you to know, don't tell your grandfather yet. We need to talk about this slowly."

"Uh-huh!"

"understand!"

The siblings nodded repeatedly.

Lin Jiayu couldn't help but mutter to herself, "No wonder my dad is always on guard against my brother-in-law, now I know why!"

As they were talking, Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo got into the car, and the topic was dropped.

On the way, no one brought up the topic.

When we got home...

Chen Qingzhu saw Lin Xiamo on the empty balcony.

"MoMo, are you pregnant?"

"It seems so, but I haven't gone to the hospital for a checkup yet,"

Lin Xiamo told her the truth.

"I just felt something was wrong."

You threw up yesterday!

Chen Qingzhu gave him an "I knew it" look, then whispered, "Now that you're pregnant, you can't hide your affair with Qiushan anymore. You can't just abandon the child!"

"So, you need to find an opportunity to be honest with your dad!"

"Ah."

Lin Xiamo nodded, looking troubled: "I just don't know how to bring it up. If Dad finds out about this, he might give Qiushan a beating!"

"I'll handle this. We'll infiltrate slowly!"

Chen Qingzhu added softly, "Getting pregnant now is a good thing. You're at the perfect age. If you waited any longer, you'd be considered an older pregnant woman."

"Furthermore, I've observed that there are quite a few women with ulterior motives around Akiyama. Once you establish a relationship with him, those women with ulterior motives will be able to restrain themselves a bit."

"Even if they remain shameless, you are the legitimate wife, and you can rightfully drive away those little vixens!"

Chen Qingzhu was thinking far ahead, mainly because she understood how outstanding her son-in-law was.

In today's society, men like Shen Qiushan are very popular.

It's no exaggeration to say that he is the most ideal person, from 18 to 60.

These days, young girls are all looking for older men!
Some older women also dream of a domineering CEO falling in love with them, just like the popular online dramas, many of which feature CEOs falling in love with nannies.

After watching so many of them, some older women actually started to identify with the characters and believed that one day they could actually meet the CEO from the short drama.

In Lin Jiayu's room.

She was gossiping with Shen Yanran.

"Yanran, if my sister is really pregnant, you'll have another brother or sister."

"I want another nephew or niece!"

"This feels so surreal!"

"My eldest sister married your father first, and now it's my second sister's turn!"

"I'm starting to tremble a little..."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yanran pouted and said, "What are you talking about!"

"This statement is dangerous!"

"Haha, just kidding..."

"I have no feelings for your dad!"

Lin Jiayu chuckled and shook her head, then said, "However, I think the loquat is a bit abnormal."

"what?"

What's wrong with the loquat?

Shen Yanran looked suspicious.

"I feel like she's too good to your dad, a kind of good that's a bit beyond normal. But she's always been very careful. If I hadn't been helping out at the tavern and spending every day with her, I wouldn't have noticed at all."

"Oh, and she even knitted a scarf for your dad for Christmas..."

Lin Jiayu, acting like a little detective, analyzed, "I think Pipa has some kind of special feeling for your dad, but she's been restraining herself, and she knows it's not realistic for the two of them to be together!" Shen Yanran gently rubbed her forehead: "Really?!"

"Even the loquats are eyeing my dad! I thought it was just Sister Xiaoya and Teacher Liu!"

"Yeah, my dad is still too cool!"

Lin Jiayu nodded: "Your dad is the type that many young girls like."

"Sigh, let's not talk about your dad anymore. How are things going between you and Xiao Sinian?"

Has he not confessed his feelings yet?

Lin Jiayu then shifted the topic to Shen Yanran herself.

"no!"

"He's such a blockhead!"

"Or they might be deliberately playing dumb, changing the subject whenever the conversation gets to a crucial point."

Shen Yanran snorted coldly and said angrily, "If he doesn't confess, fine. Maybe one day I'll change my mind and accept someone else. Then he'll regret it!"

"Don't say things in anger!"

Lin Jiayu chuckled: "If he won't confess, you can take the initiative!"

"Am I taking the initiative?"

"Wouldn't that be too embarrassing!"

Shen Yanran shook her head repeatedly.

"What kind of era is this!"

"There's nothing shameful about pursuing happiness. If I were you, I'd send him a WeChat message right now!"

Lin Jiayu, always eager for excitement and fearless of causing trouble, encouraged the situation.

"Uh……"

Shen Yanran shook her head in refusal: "I'm not sending it to him. Let's wait until school starts!"

"whispering sound!"

"Too cowardly!"

"I just haven't met someone I truly like yet, otherwise I would definitely pursue them relentlessly!"

Lin Jiayu pouted and started daydreaming.

Just then, Shen Yanran's WeChat suddenly buzzed with a New Year's greeting from Xiao Sinian.

However, this message looks like it was sent to a group and has no sincerity whatsoever!

Shen Yanran was initially quite happy to receive Xiao Sinian's message, but upon seeing that it was a group message, she couldn't help but scoff: "Don't I even deserve a single message from you?!"

"What did I do to upset you this time?"

"He sent out New Year's greetings to everyone!"

"That's where he's wrong. He should at least have made one tailor-made for our Yanran!"

Lin Jiayu chuckled and made a teasing remark.

While the two were chatting.

In the study.

Lin Moxuan and Shen Qiushan sat facing each other.

The two were talking about work: "Akiyama, could you expand the size of your lab a bit?"

"In addition, your laboratory has research and development capabilities. You could open another factory to produce products that ordinary people can use, while also creating some value. It would be a win-win situation."

Lin Moxuan is now in charge of investment promotion, so he even mobilized his son-in-law Shen Qiushan to discuss the possibility of building downstream enterprises with the laboratory as the core.

"Yes, how could I not have thought of that!"

Shen Qiushan slapped his thigh in feigned surprise: "We have to make use of such a good resource!"

"It not only benefits the people but also increases their income—it's a win-win situation!"

"Dad, I now truly understand what it means to have an elder in the family who is a treasure!"

"With you at the helm, our family's life will only get better and better!"

Shen Qiushan's flattery was resounding.

The reason he put in so much effort was, of course, to pave the way for the unveiling of the mystery.

First, we need to appease Lin Moxuan, our father-in-law, otherwise, if we directly tell him that Lin Xiamo is pregnant, he will definitely go berserk.

However, now is not the time to reveal the answer, because Lin Xiamo has not yet gone to the hospital for a formal examination.

Although the possibility is very high, it's not 100%. We'll have to wait for the hospital to give us the results before we tell Lin Moxuan.

"Oh, right, there's something else!"

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I'm planning to visit my boss to wish him a happy new year."

Do you have any extra of that little blue bottle?

After a moment of silence, Lin Moxuan changed the subject again.

The "little blue bottle" played a crucial role in his promotion before retirement.

When he went to visit his superior during the Chinese New Year, he thought he would bring two bottles with him, which would surely make his superior very happy.

However, he no longer had any stockpiled goods.

"Have!"

"some!"

Shen Qiushan nodded repeatedly: "I'll go get it from the car!"

After saying that, he turned and left the study, then went to the parking area for a walk.

When he returned to the study, he had four small blue bottles in his hand.

Recently, Shen Qiushan has been frantically increasing his academic excellence index.

While his academic performance improved, he also tried winning prizes multiple times, but only received commemorative prizes and didn't win anything of value.

"Dad, you can take it and use it first."

That's all for now.

Shen Qiushan handed four small blue bottles to Lin Moxuan, and upon seeing this, the latter's serious face immediately broke into a bright smile.

His plan was to give two bottles to his boss, which would leave him with two bottles.

This thing was priceless to him.

The next day.

Lin Moxuan took the gifts to wish his superiors a Happy New Year.

Shen Qiushan then took Lin Xiamo to the best private hospital in Sanjiang.

Although it was the second day of the Lunar New Year, the hospital was already open for business as usual.

Because it's a private hospital, the fees are very high and there's no reimbursement option, so there are very few patients.

Shen Qiushan made an appointment for an obstetrics and gynecology examination in advance.

After the two arrived, Lin Xiamo was immediately taken for an ultrasound, which took about half an hour.

The results are in.

"Congratulations to you both, Miss Lin is indeed pregnant, and she should be about six weeks along now."

The female doctor handed over the results while smiling and saying...

"Okay, great!"

"Thank you, Dr. Zhang!"

Shen Qiushan was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Lin Xiamo, who was standing to the side, also smiled and then subconsciously reached out to touch her lower abdomen.

She herself never expected that she would become a mother so soon.

She was completely unprepared for this.

However, the pregnancy wasn't too unexpected for her, because the two of them hadn't used any protection during their interactions.

"Mr. Shen, I've sent you the precautions for pregnancy and the date of your next prenatal checkup."

At this moment, Dr. Zhang spoke again.

"well, thanks!"

Shen Qiushan thanked her again, then carefully took Lin Xiamo's arm: "Momo, we need to walk slowly."

"Hmm, I'll go to the mall later to buy a few pairs of flat shoes..."

Shen Qiushan quickly got into the zone.

"It's not that delicate."

"I feel pretty good when I'm not vomiting."

Lin Xiamo was never the delicate type of woman, so Shen Qiushan's cautiousness seemed rather comical to her.

The two left the obstetrics and gynecology department.

A young female doctor immediately approached Dr. Zhang: "Sister Zhang, were those two people Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo?"

"Hmm, you know them?"

"Lin Xiamo is the lead singer of the Red Rose Band, and she even performed on this year's Spring Festival Gala. Shen Qiushan is a famous writer!"

"However, he also writes songs. He wrote the songs for the Red Rose Band. Netizens really ship them as a couple, and they never expected it to be true!"

The young doctor spoke with a gossipy expression.

Dr. Zhang certainly knew Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo's identities; many of the people who came to their private hospital were celebrities.

She immediately and solemnly instructed, "You know our hospital's rules and regulations; patient privacy must be strictly protected!"
