Chapter 118 The Hope of New Life

Ji Yun was thinking: "If my grandson can grow up with Lu Linger and Gu Yichen, he will be influenced by them and his knowledge will naturally be good." While he was thinking, he glanced at the people present.

Nanny Ji looked at Ji Yun, then at Gu Yichen and Ji Junche who were standing silently beside them, and spoke cautiously: "Master, two young ladies, the Third Young Master's wife hasn't confirmed that she is pregnant yet, and you are already arguing about this issue..."

"Shut up!" Ji Yun shouted mercilessly.

Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin also glanced at her lightly, and Madam Ji was so frightened that she immediately shut her mouth and dared not speak again.

Yun Ruoxi still maintained a calm expression and said slowly, "Didn't you bring it up first? Besides, whether Third Sister-in-law is pregnant now or not, she will be pregnant sooner or later. It's no big deal if we discuss it first."

Aunt Ji was stunned, muttering to herself: It seems...it was indeed me who brought it up first...

In the side room

Lu Linger was lazily leaning on the couch, feeling exhausted, and taking a nap with her eyes closed. A moment later, hurried footsteps were heard outside. She raised her eyelids and saw Gu Yazhu hurried in.

"Ling'er." Gu Yazhu came in front of her, her face full of an expression of wanting to say something but stopping, and she looked extremely nervous.

"What's wrong?" Lu Linger asked puzzledly.

Gu Yazhu hesitated for a moment and said, "Ling'er, have you noticed that you've been eating a little too much recently?"

Lu Linger blinked and replied with a smile: "Oh, I do eat a lot, but it doesn't matter. I exercise every day and can maintain my figure. I won't get fat."

Gu Yazhu smiled helplessly: "That's not what I'm talking about... Ling'er, have you felt anything is wrong with you recently? Why don't you take your own pulse to see if you are pregnant?"

Lu Linger was stunned, then silently reached out and placed her finger on his pulse. Her brow furrowed ever deeper, but her face remained expressionless. The room was so quiet that only the sound of their breathing could be heard.

Gu Yazhu was so nervous that her palms began to sweat. She stared at Lu Linger's movements, her heart in turmoil.

After a long while, Lu Linger slowly spoke: "It seems... I'm pregnant."

Gu Yazhu's eyes widened and she was too nervous to speak.

Lu Linger smiled and muttered to herself: No wonder I’ve been feeling hungry lately and want to sleep all day.

Gu Yazhu was stunned as if struck by lightning. It took her a long time to come back to her senses. She stood up suddenly and rushed out of the room.

When Ji Yun, Gu Yichen, Ji Junche, Yun Ruoxi, Yun Ruolin, and Nanny Ji arrived, Lu Linger was already half-leaning on the couch, smiling helplessly.

"Father," Lu Linger tilted her head and said mischievously, "My daughter-in-law might be pregnant, so she's been eating a little too much lately."

When Ji Yun heard this, he was stunned at first, but then he came to his senses and quickly said with a smile: "It's okay, Ling'er, eat whatever you want. I will immediately ask Ji Ma to find a few experienced maids to serve you every day."

Gu Yichen and his two sisters also walked in quickly. Gu Yichen's face was full of joy, and he said hurriedly: "Ling'er, eat whatever you want, there is no shortage of food at home. You are pregnant with my child, don't worry, I will take care of it!"

Lu Linger leaned back on the couch and nodded with a smile. She watched Yun Ruoxi and Yun Ruolin bickering over the question of whether it was a boy or a girl, but she had no intention of interjecting. A warm smile graced her beautiful face, and her hand unconsciously caressed her belly.

How wonderful... Lu Linger sighed in her heart. She never thought that there would be such a day when she would be willing to work hard for her children. She was an orphan in her previous life and never thought about starting a family. But now... everything has changed.

"Father, Mother," Lu Linger suddenly sat up straight and said with a chuckle, "My daughter-in-law plans to concentrate on taking care of the baby. Is it okay for my uncle to help with the search for my father?"

Ji Yun was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Well, it's important for you to take care of the baby, don't worry about other things for now."

Lu Linger smiled and said, "I really hope that Dad can come back soon so that the family can be reunited."

Ji Yun nodded silently without saying anything more. His eyes fell on Lu Linger with a somewhat complicated expression.

In fact, he had received news a few days ago that Lu Linger's father seemed to be no simple matter, and might have been transferred to the capital by Wen Zhifu as a bargaining chip. He had not yet told Lu Linger this news because that place was... very dangerous.
