Shen Qingge arrived at the office and began processing some work documents.

The new design for the "Shen Qingge series" needs to be submitted to the factory next week to start production, and she must ensure that every detail is perfect.

Just as she was focused on the design drawings, her assistant came in to announce, "Ms. Su is here."

As they spoke, Su Wanyu entered the office, carrying an exquisite gift box: "I saw a particularly cute little dress that I thought would suit Ruoxi perfectly; a friend just happened to be returning from abroad, so I asked her to bring one back. I received it and just brought it over on my way."

Shen Qingge accepted the gift box and thanked her softly, "You're too kind, going to all this trouble."

Su Wanyu waved her hand: "Don't mention it. You and I are good friends, and now we're going to be family. This little token is nothing."

Shen Qingge opened the gift box, inside was a plaid dress, exquisite and elegant, which was indeed very suitable for Hai Ruoxi.

"Thank you, Ruoxi will definitely like it," Shen Qingge said sincerely.

"Don't mention it, it's nothing." Su Wanyu paused, "I'm also very happy to prepare these little gifts for Ruoxi. After all, we've been working together for so long."

Shen Qingge gestured to her assistant to make tea, then sat down opposite Su Wanyu: "Yes, Yu Linglong has developed so well these past few years, thanks to your hard work."

Su Wanyu gently shook her head: "Not at all. If it weren't for your initial investment and the opportunity you gave me, there wouldn't be Yu Linglong today. Speaking of which, you were the matchmaker between me and Qing Shuo."

Shen Qingge smiled slightly but did not reply.

Indeed, it was she who sought out Su Wanyu in order to undermine Su Maiqi; upon learning that Su Wanyu was doing live streaming, she introduced her to Shen Qingshuo, thus establishing Shen's Jewelry's online live streaming system.

Shen Qingge never expected that this introduction would lead to a marriage.

“We’ve worked together for the past few years, and we’ve had a great synergy,” Su Wanyu continued, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes. “I remember that jewelry exhibition in Lin’an; we traveled overnight and almost missed the opening ceremony.”

Shen Qingge laughed: "Yes, we were both in a real mess that time. We didn't even have time to put on makeup before rushing onto the stage."

The two chatted about their past collaborations, and the atmosphere gradually relaxed.

The housekeeper brought over tea, and Shen Qingge poured a cup for Su Wanyu: "How has Yu Linglong been lately?"

“Very good,” Su Wanyu took the teacup and took a sip. “Last quarter’s sales increased by 30% compared to the same period last year, and many high-end jewelry brands want to cooperate with us.”

Shen Qingge nodded: "High-end jewelry does indeed have higher profit margins. I'm also thinking about whether we should launch a few more high-end products in the Shen Qingge series."

“By the way, speaking of the ‘Shen Qingge series,’” Su Wanyu put down her teacup, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes, “I have an idea, I wonder what you think.”

“What idea?”

"I'd like to host a special live stream on Yu Linglong for the 'Shen Qingge Series,' highlighting your latest designs. After all, we're partners, and we'll be family in the future, so we should support each other even more."

Shen Qingge looked at her thoughtfully: "That's a good suggestion, I'll consider it."

Su Wanyu smiled and nodded, then looked down at her fingers, seemingly hesitant.

Shen Qingge noticed her unusual behavior: "Is there anything else?"

Su Wanyu took a deep breath, raised her head, and said with a hint of nervousness and anticipation in her eyes, "Actually, there's something else I want to tell you."

Shen Qingge raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue.

"I...I'm unexpectedly pregnant," Su Wanyu's voice trembled slightly, but her eyes were full of sincerity. "If it weren't for this, the wedding wouldn't have been arranged so hastily."

Shen Qingge's eyes first showed surprise, then slowly softened.

It turned out to be the case.

This explains why Shen Qingshuo was so eager to marry Su Wanyu, and why his father agreed to this seemingly hasty marriage.

Looking at Su Wanyu's cautious expression, Shen Qingge knew that she was trying to curry favor with her and seeking her approval.

After all, as the daughter of the Shen family, the major shareholder of Yu Linglong, their matchmaker, and the young mistress of the Hai family, Shen Qingge still has some say in the Shen family.

"Wanyu, congratulations! Double happiness!" Shen Qingge smiled sincerely and took Su Wanyu's hand. "I'm so happy you're becoming my sister-in-law. I believe you two will be happy."

Su Wanyu's eyes instantly welled up with tears. She gripped Shen Qingge's hand tightly, saying, "Thank you, Qingge. Your blessing is very important to me."

Shen Qingge could sense the genuine feelings in Su Wanyu's words.

She could see the vulnerability and expectation in Su Wanyu's eyes—a woman's longing for the future and her desire for recognition.

"No need to thank me," Shen Qingge said softly. "We are family, and family members should support each other."

Su Wanyu's tears finally fell. She hurriedly wiped them away with the back of her hand and smiled somewhat embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, my emotions have been fluctuating lately, probably because of the pregnancy."

Shen Qingge handed her a tissue: "This is normal. I was like that when I was pregnant with Ruoxi, sometimes happy and sometimes sad, as if I was completely out of control."

The two chatted about their experiences and feelings during pregnancy, and the atmosphere became increasingly intimate and warm.

The two chatted for over an hour before Su Wanyu stood up to say goodbye: "Then I won't disturb your work any longer; I'll head back now."

Shen Qingge saw her to the door: "Take care on your way. If you need any help, just let me know."

Su Wanyu nodded, hesitated for a moment, and finally gave Shen Qingge a gentle hug: "Thank you for your understanding and support, Qingge."

After seeing Su Wanyu off, Shen Qingge was filled with mixed emotions.

Su Wanyu's pregnancy was indeed an unexpected joy, not only providing legitimacy for her relationship with Shen Qingshuo, but also adding leverage for her to gain a foothold in the Shen family.

Shen Qingge couldn't help but recall the time when she was in love with Hai Ruoxi.

At that time, she also faced the arrival of this new life with mixed feelings.

Back in the living room, Shen Qingge picked up the gift Su Wanyu had brought and gently stroked the delicate little dress.

She is a very smart woman who knows when to show weakness and how to use various relationships and resources to seek the greatest benefit for herself.

The truth behind the hasty wedding was revealed, which allowed Shen Qingge to gain a deeper understanding of Su Wanyu.

This woman is far more complex than she imagined.

Meanwhile, Su Wanyu sat in the car, watching the scenery rushing past the window, her heart filled with mixed emotions.

The conversation tonight went much more smoothly than she had expected, and Shen Qingge's attitude was also friendlier than she had imagined.

During this period, she and Shen Qingshuo experienced too many twists and turns.

From his sudden marriage proposal to her hesitation, and finally to her telling him she was pregnant, it all seemed like a meticulously planned drama.

At first, she did believe in Shen Qingshuo's feelings and thought she had a chance to marry him.

When Su Wanyu heard about his wedding date with Xu Jin, she realized that she had been naive all along.

Later, when Xu Jin broke off the engagement and Shen Qingshuo proposed to her, she became increasingly aware that this marriage was not based on any passionate love, but rather on her commercial value, coupled with the opportune moment.

If she really had to thank someone, she should probably thank Miss Xu Jin the most.

Without her falling in love with someone else and taking the initiative to break off the engagement, how could I have become the young mistress of the Shen family?

Thinking of this, Su Wanyu gently touched her still flat stomach, a self-deprecating smile appearing on her lips.

Sometimes, fate is just that strange.

She had suffered greatly because of Shen Qingshuo and had even made the worst possible plans.

Now, she is about to enter the Shen family as Mrs. Shen, and she is also pregnant with the Shen family's child.

She knew that with this child, her position in the Shen family was half secured.

The remaining half requires her to win through wisdom and ability—especially the approval and trust of the old man, Shen Zejun.

Su Wanyu sighed softly, leaned back in her chair, and closed her eyes to rest.

In any case, the first step has been successful.

She is about to become Mrs. Shen, possessing the status and position of the young mistress of the Shen family.

Whether Shen Qingshuo truly loves her seems to have become less important.
