Chapter 548: Chapter 334: Their Third Child 2

Everyone was immersed in joy, though each had their own concerns. Song Ziyu’s married life was not going well, and Tian Xin’s love life was full of ups and downs, while Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen had just reconciled.

However, the tremendous joy of Zheng Tong’s pregnancy had all three women raising their glasses, "Cheers!"

Bei Ran put down her glass. "Sweetheart, do you know what your mom asked me?"

"What?" Song Ziyu interrupted eagerly.

"She asked about Tang Baijin," Bei Ran said, "Ms. Tian seems to really like Tang Baijin."

Tian Xin was speechless, "My mom, she’d have me married off today if she could! She questions me repeatedly about any male creature."

Zheng Tong said, "When I was in my thirties and still unmarried, my mom was even more anxious! It’s just the old people’s mindset—wanting their children to settle down."

Song Ziyu sighed, "I’m married, and yet I can’t say I’m very happy."

Bei Ran looked at them, "Alright, let’s not talk about these unhappy things. We should focus on the happy events, hoping for them, and life will move in a beautiful direction. Come on, pregnant women shouldn’t drink, but for those of us who are not pregnant, let’s drink to our heart’s content and not go home sober!"

No matter what unhappiness each person had, no matter how many unhappy things there were, life must go on.

Most of the conversation still revolved around the baby in Zheng Tong’s belly. Bei Ran, who had more experience, gave some advice on what to pay attention to during pregnancy.

Song Ziyu chuckled, "Sister Tong, there’s one thing I know—even though I’ve never been pregnant."

"What is it?" asked Zheng Tong.

Song Ziyu laughed even more, "During the first three months of pregnancy, couples should abstain from sex, and also during the last three months, your husband Mr. Duan needs to be temperate."

As this was said, everyone burst into laughter.

Zheng Tong glared at her, "Ziyu girl, you’re usually so serious, when did you start being naughty?"

"It’s not naughty!" Song Ziyu rejoiced, "It’s common sense! And I might as well spread the word to Tian Xin too!"

Tian Xin grabbed her, "Drink! Let’s drink... and drown out your mouth with alcohol!"

She then said, "Right, to celebrate Sister Tong’s pregnancy, I’ll go buy a lottery ticket tonight, wish me luck to hit the jackpot!"

Because Zheng Tong was pregnant, everyone left early, and thus, they parted ways.

As Bei Ran passed by a pharmacy, she went in to buy a pregnancy test. She had been preoccupied while drinking with them at the club.

When she heard Zheng Tong was pregnant, she remembered that her period had not come for over a month!

Moreover, her menstrual cycle was always on time, but she had been busy recently and forgot to pay attention to it.

After buying the pregnancy test, she went into a restroom in a nearby shopping mall.

In the mall’s restroom, as Bei Ran looked at the two red lines, the pregnancy test in her hand fell to the ground...

Faced with this result, Bei Ran was stunned on the spot.

She knew that Gu Qingchen had had a vasectomy; the child couldn’t be his, so whose was it?

Besides, she had been with him for over four years, never taken contraception, yet had never conceived his child.

She only had a brief interaction with Lu Mojing, but Lu Mojing had always been very proper with her, without any inappropriate behaviors in her memory.

Could this child be Qin Shan’s doing? And the vanished marks on her hips, could they be related to Qin Shan too?

Because, after Qin Shan took her away from the café, she had passed out, and when she woke up, she was with Lu Mojing.

God, just at the thought of this, Bei Ran was immediately thrown into panic.

All her life, she had always been calm and composed, yet she had never been so flustered.

This wasn’t the first time she was pregnant, and she had been saddened before, but that was when there was no chance for her to be with Tang Baijin, and she didn’t know whose child was in her womb. She quickly resolved to raise the child on her own.

This pregnancy was different; she had such a wonderful man like Gu Qingchen, a consistently kind-mother-in-law, and a pair of dragon-phoenix twins. How could she carry another man’s child?!

Bei Ran walked out of the mall, wandering alone on the festive streets. Even though City A became a ghost town every New Year, with fewer people around, the streets were still bustling with activity.

Today was the night of the New Year’s Eve dinner, yet here she was, strolling alone on the streets.

In every hotel and restaurant, they were packed with people, children’s joyful noises, and adults’ laughter filled the air, but her nightmare was just beginning.
