Become a burden in a period novel

Qin Wangshu took a taxi back again. The weather in Guangzhou was very nice today, and the warm sunshine made Qin Wangshu feel lazy.

She leaned against the car window and looked outside. The road had just been repaired, and there were many places under construction on both sides. Looking at those bustling construction sites, Qin Wangshu could feel the vibrant vitality of this city.

When the taxi dropped Qin Wangshu off at her destination, she saw Wu Min waiting outside.

"Why are you here?" Qin Wangshu was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course I need to be involved in the important matters at the factory, and besides, I've probably hit a bottleneck lately; the experiments haven't made any progress." Wu Min was also happy to see Qin Wangshu; they hadn't seen each other for over half a year.

"I just wanted to come out and see what it was like, maybe I'd find some inspiration. It's so lively here, of course I had to come and take a look."

"That's right, you need to balance work and rest to get things done. Where's your child? Didn't you bring them?"

“Their dad is taking care of them; the children aren’t just mine.” She and my husband have a good relationship. Knowing she was coming, my husband offered to take time off work to take care of the children.

She and her husband had no elders to support them, so they had to raise their children and make a living on their own. If her husband didn't help with the children, she would definitely break down. Especially with their youngest son, she had even lost her secure job because of him, so how could her husband stand idly by?

"Then you can relax a bit. By the way, have you booked a room?" Qin Wangshu pulled Wu Min towards the guesthouse.

"It's booked. Because I said I was your friend, she booked the room next to yours for me." Wu Min was very satisfied when she learned that it was this room.

"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you for quite a while."

"I'll tell you later. Since you've been waiting for so long, have you had lunch yet?" Qin Wangshu asked with concern.

"I've already eaten. I won't treat myself badly. It's been a while since we ate together. How about we go out for stir-fried beef noodles tonight?"

Qin Wangshu shook her head. "I'm afraid I can't. My mother-in-law is taking the train tonight. I need to call her and we can make an appointment tomorrow."

Not only did Qin Wangshu want to call her, she also wanted to call Yang Mingye, since he, as the child's father, couldn't be the last to know.

"Alright then, is Auntie coming too? Are you all spending the New Year here?" Wu Min asked with some anticipation. If Qin Wangshu was spending the New Year here, they might be able to spend it together.

"Yes, it's warm here. We'll probably go back before school starts." Aunt Luo probably wouldn't have stayed this long, but once she found out she was pregnant, she probably wouldn't have thought about going back.

"That's great! Now I'll have someone to keep me company. Let's go to the flower market together." Although the flower market here has only been open for two years, it has a lot of flowers that she has never seen before.

Besides, her hometown isn't as warm as here; in winter, it's hard to even find green leaves, let alone so many flowers.

"The flower market? I have to go check it out!" Qin Wangshu naturally knew about the flower market, but she had only heard of it before. Now that she could see it for herself, she was very excited.

Moreover, she can find new places to purchase essential oils. As their products increase, they also need to ensure they have enough raw materials to avoid being held hostage.

"Are we just going to stand here chatting like this, or should we go inside?" Qin Wangshu looked at Wu Min, who had become quite talkative, with amusement. "We have plenty of time to catch up!"

"Look at me! Come on, let's go inside." Wu Min came up and pulled Qin Wangshu, then they walked into the guesthouse together.

She hadn't socialized in so long. Because she was at Qin Wangshu's factory, she had a very comfortable maternity leave. And because of this, she felt somewhat guilty, so after returning to work, she stayed in the lab, completely isolated from the world.
