Study System: I'm a 38-Year-Old Student

Chapter 389 262: Really Pregnant!

"I just feel like this whole thing is way too crazy!"

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

"I'm kinda freaking out right now..."

Hearing this, Shen Yanran pouted, "What are you saying!"

"That's a dangerous opinion!"

"Haha, I'm just kidding..."

"I've got zero interest in your dad!"

Lin Jiayu chuckled and shook her head, then said, "But I think Pipa's acting kinda weird."

"Huh?"

"What's weird about Pipa?"

Shen Yanran looked suspicious.

"I feel like she treats your dad too well, it's past a normal level. But she's always super cautious. If I weren't helping out at the bar and spending every day with her, I would've never noticed."

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

Lin Jiayu turned detective: "I think Pipa has some sort of special feelings for your dad, she's just holding herself back because she knows it's not realistic between them!"

Shen Yanran rubbed her forehead lightly, "No way!"

"Even Pipa's got her eyes on my dad? I thought it was only Sister Xiaoya and Teacher Liu!"

"Yeah, my dad really is too cool!"

Lin Jiayu nodded, "Your dad's exactly the kind of guy tons of young women like."

"Ugh, enough about your dad. How are things going with Xiao Sinian?"

"He still hasn't confessed to you?"

Lin Jiayu switched the topic right onto Shen Yanran herself.

"No!"

"He's seriously so clueless!"

"Or maybe he's just pretending. Every time the convo gets to a key point, he just steers it somewhere else."

Shen Yanran huffed, cheeks puffed out, "Fine if he won't confess, maybe one day I'll just get over it and accept someone else. Let him regret it when that happens!"

"Don't talk like that!"

Lin Jiayu snickered, "If he won't confess, you can make the first move!"

"Me, make the first move?"

"Wouldn't that just be way too embarrassing!"

Shen Yanran shook her head again and again.

"Come on, look what era it is!"

"There's nothing embarrassing about chasing after happiness. If I were you, I'd just text him on WeChat right now!"

Lin Jiayu egged her on, more interested in drama than anything else.

"Uh..."

Shen Yanran resisted and shook her head, "No way I'm texting him. I'll wait till school starts."

"Tch!"

"Chicken!"

"I just haven't met someone I really like yet. If I did, I swear I'd chase them non-stop!"

Lin Jiayu pouted and started daydreaming.

Just then, Shen Yanran's WeChat suddenly dinged—it was a New Year's message from Xiao Sinian.

Except it was obviously a mass message. Zero sincerity!

Getting a message from Xiao Sinian, Shen Yanran was happy at first, but seeing it was sent to everyone, she couldn't help but huff: "So I don't even deserve a personal message, huh!"

"What did he do now?"

"He sent the same New Year's message to everyone!"

"Well that's on him! He should've at least written a special message just for our Yanran!"

Lin Jiayu teased with a grin.

While the two were chatting—

In the study—

Lin Moxuan and Shen Qiushan sat across from each other.

They were talking about work: "Qiushan, do you think the lab could be expanded a bit?"

"Also, your lab's got R&D capability, so you could totally start a factory, produce stuff for regular folks, and create some value. It'd be a win-win."

Lin Moxuan's in charge of investment these days, so even his son-in-law Shen Qiushan got pulled in to brainstorm about starting a business centered on his lab.

"Wow, how did I not think of that!"

Shen Qiushan slapped his thigh like he'd had a revelation: "Gotta make use of these great resources!"

"Not only helps people, but makes us money—a total win-win!"

"Dad, now I truly understand what 'an elder in the house is a treasure' means!"

"With you steering the ship, our family's only going to get better and better!"

Shen Qiushan's flattery was totally over the top.

And of course, he was sucking up to lay the groundwork for the big reveal.

It's best to butter up his father-in-law Lin Moxuan first, otherwise just dropping the news that Lin Xiamo's pregnant would definitely make him flip out.

But it wasn't time to spill the beans yet, since Lin Xiamo hadn't gone for an official checkup at the hospital.

Odds were super high, but not one hundred percent, so better to wait for the hospital results before telling Lin Moxuan.

"Oh yeah, one more thing!"

"Today's New Year's Day, so I'm planning to visit my boss for the holiday."

"That Little Blue Bottle stuff—do you have any left?"

After a pause, Lin Moxuan changed the subject again.

The reason he snagged a promotion before retiring was all thanks to Little Blue Bottle.

He wanted to bring a couple bottles to his boss for the holiday, knowing it'd be a hit.

Problem was, he was out of stock.

"I've got some!"

"Plenty!"

Shen Qiushan nodded fast, "I'll go grab them from the car!"

He left the study and went out to the parking area.

When he came back, he was holding four Little Blue Bottles.

Lately, Shen Qiushan had been obsessively racking up Scholar Index points.

And with each point, he kept trying the lottery. But he only ever won commemorative prizes, nothing actually valuable.

"Dad, here, you can use these first."

"This is all I've got for now."

Shen Qiushan handed the four Little Blue Bottles to Lin Moxuan. As soon as he saw them, Lin Moxuan's stern face broke out into a big smile.

He planned to give two bottles to his boss, which meant he'd still have two left for himself.

This stuff was practically priceless in his eyes.

The next day.

Lin Moxuan brought gifts and went to wish his boss a happy New Year.

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

Even though it was the second day of the New Year, the hospital was open for business.

Since it's a private hospital, the fees were sky-high and no insurance could be used, so there weren't many patients.

Shen Qiushan had booked an OB-GYN appointment in advance.

When they got there, Lin Xiamo was sent straight in for an ultrasound, waited about half an hour.

The results came out.

"Congratulations to you both. Miss Lin is indeed pregnant, looks like about six weeks now."

The lady doctor handed them the results with a cheery smile.

"Awesome, that's great!"

"Thank you, Dr. Zhang!"

Shen Qiushan was over the moon, thanking her repeatedly.

Lin Xiamo was smiling too, and subconsciously touched her belly.

She hadn't expected to be a mom so soon.

She really hadn't mentally prepared for this at all.

But honestly, she wasn't that surprised about being pregnant, since the two of them hadn't used any protection during their time together.

"Mr. Shen, I've sent pregnancy care instructions to your phone, along with the date for the next checkup."

Dr. Zhang spoke up again.

"Mm, thank you!"

Shen Qiushan thanked her again, then carefully took Lin Xiamo's arm, "Momo, we should walk slower now."

"Okay, maybe pick up a few pairs of flats at the mall later..."

Shen Qiushan jumped right into dad mode.

"I'm not that delicate."

"I feel fine when I'm not nauseous."

Lin Xiamo was never the fragile type, so Shen Qiushan's fussiness just seemed silly to her.

They left OB-GYN.

A young female doctor immediately sidled up to Dr. Zhang, "Sister Zhang, weren't those two Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo just now?"

"Yeah, you know them?"

"Lin Xiamo's the lead singer of Red Rose Band! She was on the Spring Festival Gala this year! Shen Qiushan's a famous writer!"

"He writes songs too, the Red Rose Band sang his songs! Netizens are obsessed with them as a couple, I can't believe they're actually together!"

The young doctor was totally gossiping.

Of course, Dr. Zhang knew Shen Qiushan and Lin Xiamo's identities—lots of celebrities come to their private hospital.

She immediately got serious and reminded her, "You know the hospital rules—we have to keep patient privacy strictly confidential!"
