Xia Juan thought about her daughter from time to time after her husband was in jail.

But she felt ashamed of what she did previously, so she found it difficult to face her daughter.

She struggled a lot.

But the new year was a perfect chance to see Gu Baisheng again.

Xia Juan hurried to get Gu Baisheng some water as soon as Gu Baisheng arrived.

Gu Baisheng took the cup over after noticing how polite Xia Juan was, "Please take a seat, mom. I'm here to visit and talk to you."

Xia Juan nodded. But she became a bit confused after waiting for Song Shuang to show up for a while, "Why do you come here alone?"

"Song Shuang is on a business trip."

"A few days after the new year?"

Xia Juan was a bit surprised.

Gu Baisheng nodded, "Yes."

"Why didn't you go with him?" Xia Juan asked.

Gu Baisheng shook her head and smiled, "He went to Gangcheng to work. It's inappropriate if I follow him there. And my intern work in Beicheng would get quite busy after the new year."

"Doesn't it mean that you two can't see each other for a long time?"

"About 2 months."

Gu Baisheng told Xia Juan.

Xia Juan was a bit shocked, "Two months? Such a long time?"

Two months was 60 days, which equaled 1/6 a year.

"It's a long time, but time flies."

"How silly of you, my daughter!" Xia Juan reminded Gu Baisheng worriedly, "It's such a long time! What if anything happens to him in Gangcheng when you're not with him?"

"He's an adult. He'll be fine in Gangcheng."

Gu Baisheng felt that Song Shuang was smart, physically strong, and conspicuous in the crowd, so he would be safe.

"Nothing would happen to him?" Xia Juan glared at Gu Baisheng, "He's the only child in his family. Many people would try to get closer to him when you're not with him."

"Don't be so dramatic."

Gu Baisheng felt that Xia Juan overthought.

Xia Juan didn't feel so, "I read in a magazine that Ke Nuan is hosting a program in Gangcheng."

Gu Baisheng froze, holding her cup.

Ke Nuan?

She heard this name again.

Xia Juan turned on the TV with the remote controller and switched it to Gangcheng TV when she found that she didn't persuade Gu Baisheng.

An interview with a famous person was streaming on Gangcheng TV now.

And the hostess was Ke Nuan.

"Look! There she is!" Xia Juan looked at Ke Nuan who was on the screen and commented, "Ke Nuan has won lots of awards as a hostess. She's pretty and good at her work. I heard that she used to study abroad for a long time. She's from an intellectual family. Her grandparents are famous professors. Her parents are intellectuals, too. She's well-educated."

Gu Baisheng nodded, "OK."

"OK?" Xia Juan was very unhappy with her daughter's reaction, "I saw that her next interviewee is Song Shuang."

"What?"

Gu Baisheng was a bit surprised, "She's going to interview Song Shuang?"

She recalled Ke Nuan called Song Shuang a few times.

Did Ke Nuan contact Song Shuang very often because of the interview?

But Song Shuang never brought it up to her.

"Didn't Song Shuang tell you that?"

As Song Shuang's mother-in-law, Xia Juan was really worried about her daughter's position as Song Shuang's wife. In order to secure her daughter's position, she had been watching the news about the Song Family, so she could give her daughter suggestions at any time.

"Maybe he is too busy to tell me."

Gu Baisheng did care about it a bit.

Song Shuang never told her about the interview.

"You need to be careful, my daughter!" Xia Juan was really concerned, "The Song Family has never really recognized you as a family member. Now Song Shuang started to contact Ke Nuan. You really need to hurry up and take action."

Gu Baisheng looked down and asked Xia Juan smilingly, "What kind of action?"

She couldn't stop it if Song Shuang wanted to have an affair with Ke Nuan in secret.

She had never been cheated on by her husband.

But she always felt that what was hers would remain hers.

She felt so about relationships, too.

If Song Shuang would like to be with her, no matter who tried to seduce him, he wouldn't leave her.

But if Song Shuang really had an affair with someone, then she would rather break up with him than ask him to stay.

"Come on!" Xia Juan said, "You two have been married for a while. Why don't you have a baby now?"

Gu Baisheng was helpless, "You can't force things to happen."

"But if you don't try, babies would never come!" Xia Juan disagreed with her daughter, "Don't try to use work as an excuse. You can even choose to be a housewife if you want. Work is not the most important thing! What really matters is to have a kid, preferably a boy! Then Song Shuang's parents would accept you really soon and your relationship with Song Shuang is more secure."

Xia Juan did make a point.

It was something that everyone could think about.

But Gu Baisheng didn't really want to do so, "I'm not really keen about having a baby."

"You've never listened to my advice!"

Xia Juan was unhappy that her daughter refused to take her advice.

"Why don't we talk about something happy?"

Gu Baisheng wanted to distract Xia Juan from thinking about the baby.

But Xia Juan didn't let her, "No way! You have to promise me about having a baby today! I'm so worried."

Gu Baisheng smiled bitterly, "Even if I promise, it's not up to me."

"Then quit your job and go to Gangcheng now."

Xia Juan had a new idea, "You can keep an eye on Song Shuang in Gangcheng, so Ke Nuan won't have her chance."

Gu Baisheng shook her head smilingly, "Mom, you have to trust Song Shuang. He won't cheat on me so easily."

"You can never trust a man."

Xia Juan felt her daughter didn't understand how serious the situation was.

Gu Baisheng didn't know what to say.

Xia Juan sighed, "Do you know why I have such a miserable life? Because of your dad! He left us for a woman!"

Xia Juan felt sad and started to cry when she recalled her past.

Gu Baisheng didn't have the heart to watch people crying.

Her heart melted when other people cried.

She would promise to do anything to stop their cry.

When Xia Juan started to cry, Gu Baisheng hurried to promise, "Please don't cry! I promise you!"

"Promise me to get pregnant as soon as possible?"

Xia Juan stopped crying immediately and looked up to ask her daughter.

Gu Baisheng hesitated, "I don't have control over it..."

"Come on! I'm so worried for you! Boohoo!"

Xia Juan started to cry with her head down.

Gu Baisheng had to promise, "Yes, I promise I'll get pregnant soon!"

Xia Juan heard her daughter's promise.

Then she looked up and wiped away her fake tears. She pointed at the screen, "Look at her. You have to be careful."

On the screen, Ke Nuan was elegantly talking with Huang Tengyun, the toy king in Gangcheng, about how his career took off.

Although Huang Tengyun's story was very interesting, Gu Baisheng didn't pay attention to it at all.

She had been looking at Ke Nuan.

Ke Nuan was wearing a blue suit with her hair in a bun.

She looked like a princess.

And her facial features made her look like a mixed beauty.

She had to admit that Ke Nuan was very pretty.

And she was more elegant than intellectual.

It was 9 p.m. when Gu Baisheng returned from Xia Juan's place.

Hu Hui had been doing embroidery work on the sofa while waiting for Gu Baisheng.

As soon as Gu Baisheng opened the door, Hu Hui looked up, "You're back."

Gu Baisheng felt soft inside when she saw Hu Hui waiting for her.

The coldness from the outside was suddenly gone.

"Why are you still awake, auntie?"

Gu Baisheng was changing her shoes in the porch. She sat next to Hu Hui when she was placing her bag on the sofa.

Hu Hui was still holding the embroidery. She said gently after pushing up her glasses a bit, "I leave you some dinner in the kitchen. It's still warm. Wash your hands and eat some."

Gu Baisheng smiled, "I've eaten outside."

"You've eaten?" Hu Hui nodded, "I'll put the food into the fridge later."

"How is Bobo?"

Gu Baisheng looked at Qu Xiaobo's room and found the door was closed.

"She went to sleep after dinner. Newly pregnant women tend to sleep a lot."

Gu Baisheng nodded at Hu Hui's words.

Then she asked, "Why are you still awake, auntie?"

"I was waiting for you." Hu Hui stopped the embroidery and turned around, "What did you two talk about?"

Gu Baisheng knew that Hu Hui was talking about her conversation with Xia Juan.

"She urged me to have a baby."

Hearing this, Hu Hui smiled, "I'm thinking the same."

She wanted Gu Baisheng to have a baby with Song Shuang as soon as possible, too.

Xia Juan was speaking her mind.

"Why do both of you enjoy this topic so much?"

Gu Baisheng was a little distressed.

Hu Hui smiled, "When people get old, they want their children to get married and have children. We enjoy raising up children, too."
