Reborn in the 70s: Pampered by Regiment Commander-Chapter 1290 - 845: Worries

One More Night

------------

"Actually..." After a brief hesitation, Luo Xiaoqiong said, "Actually, it’s nothing. It’s just that watching your brother leave makes me a bit uncomfortable."

"Don’t lie..." Chuxia pursed her lips at her, "I know you almost as well as I know myself. If it were just about not wanting him to leave, you wouldn’t be acting like this."

"I..." Luo Xiaoqiong’s face turned crimson, but she couldn’t utter another word. Suddenly, Chuxia’s eyes widened with realization, "You and my brother..." Observing the lowered head of Luo Xiaoqiong, she confirmed, "You’re already a couple, and you’re worried about whether you’re pregnant, right?"

Luo Xiaoqiong suddenly raised her head, staring at Chuxia in disbelief: "Even such private matters are shared with you?"

"Is that possible?" Chuxia rolled her eyes, "Even if he were my cousin, this sort of thing is embarrassing to discuss with me, right? I guessed it from your appearance."

"Really?" Luo Xiaoqiong covered her face, "Was I that obvious?"

"Yes, is there another matter that could make you this embarrassed?" Chuxia embraced her shoulder and gently patted, "Don’t worry too much, it probably... isn’t that coincidental?"

"What if?" Luo Xiaoqiong was on the verge of tears, "What if it really is that coincidental, what should I do? Chuxia, you’re full of ideas, help me figure out what to do if the unexpected happens."

"Alright..." After hesitating for a moment, Chuxia still agreed, "Whether or not the unexpected happens, let’s think of a plan first so we won’t be caught off guard.

But..." She looked seriously at Luo Xiaoqiong, "I won’t hide it from you; my brother’s mission this time carries certain dangers. I want to know your true thoughts."

After a long wait, Luo Xiaoqiong didn’t respond, so Chuxia sighed: "Think carefully about this problem first; otherwise, I won’t know where to start in helping you."

"If..." Luo Xiaoqiong bit her lip, "If there truly is an unexpected occurrence, I want to have the child. Initially, I was hesitant, but now, I’ve decided..." She looked at Chuxia with determination, "I want to leave a legacy for your brother."

"Don’t be so serious..." Chuxia chuckled as she pinched her tense little face, "It’s just a possibility, and the chances are very slim. You should still think it over before deciding."

"No need to think about it..." Luo Xiaoqiong shook her head without hesitation, "I just panicked when he left earlier. Actually... actually, it was me who initiated this between us.

Subconsciously, I was a bit worried about his departure, so I especially wanted to give myself to him. At first, he didn’t agree, so I threatened him that if he didn’t want me, he must not like me. Then when he returned, I’d definitely be married with kids already.

He was provoked and had no choice but to comply. I thought at the time that if I truly belonged to him, he’d definitely keep me in mind and definitely return safely.

However, I really didn’t anticipate the possibility of getting pregnant..." After a pause, Luo Xiaoqiong swung her arm forcefully, "I overlooked a step, should have registered with him before he left. That way, having the child wouldn’t be subject to criticism."

"Uh..." Chuxia looked at her speechlessly, "It’s just a possibility, don’t act like you’re absolutely sure. By the way, when is your period supposed to come?"

"I don’t know."

"You don’t know?" Chuxia was even more speechless, is there really anyone who doesn’t know about such a thing?

"I truly don’t know..." Luo Xiaoqiong looked aggrieved, "My period has never been regular; sometimes it comes once a month, sometimes a month and a half, and sometimes two months."

"..." Alright, Chuxia didn’t know what to say either. Under such circumstances, it’s really impossible to deduce from the safe period whether there’s a chance of being pregnant, so the only option now is to wait... However, this feeling of waiting for judgment is unpleasant.

Fortunately, Luo Xiaoqiong has an outgoing and carefree personality, otherwise, it would indeed be troublesome.

"How are you getting along with your colleagues now?" Chuxia switched the topic, they had been apart for almost two months; though they’ve exchanged letters, this girl mostly shared positive news, not reporting any worries. She didn’t quite believe things were as good as described.

"Alright, with the Director overseeing everything, they don’t dare to do much to me." Luo Xiaoqiong said.

"So basically they don’t like you, huh?"

"That’s for sure. In their eyes, I’m just someone who’s benefited from connections, absolutely not on the same level as them. But, what they think isn’t far from the truth.

Don’t worry, Chuxia. I won’t be influenced by their judgments; I’m not that sensitive. The more they act like that, the more it shows they’re jealous of me. Such good fortune isn’t something just anyone can have.

Of course, I have to cherish it; otherwise, I’d indeed fall into their trap..." Luo Xiaoqiong smiled cheekily as she patted Chuxia, "Don’t you think I’ve matured a lot compared to before?"

"Yes, you’ve matured a lot compared to before..." Chuxia smiled back at her, "If you feel too exhausted and want to change environments, just tell Director Xu."

"Hmm." Luo Xiaoqiong nodded, little face drooping again, "If I really am pregnant, that’s definite, or it will definitely inconvenience Director Xu."

"Xiaoqiong, no matter what my brother becomes, you’ll be with him for life, right?"

"Of course."

"Then I’ll tell my husband’s family and help you and my brother get the marriage certificate. This way, you won’t feel so much pressure, and you can continue to work at your unit."

"Chuxia!" Luo Xiaoqiong tightly grabbed Chuxia’s arm, her face full of delight, "Are you serious?"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"But..." Luo Xiaoqiong looked troubled, "But how are you going to tell them?"

"I’ll just tell the truth."

Luo Xiaoqiong’s face flushed instantly: "Wouldn’t that be too embarrassing?"

Chuxia gave her a glare, too lazy to respond.

"Don’t be mad..." Luo Xiaoqiong pleaded, shaking her arm, "I’m just so conflicted right now, but I don’t regret it, really. If I had to choose again, I’d still do the same thing."

"How about we wait for two months and see?" Chuxia suggested, looking at her, "If you get pregnant, then get the marriage certificate. If not, wait until my brother comes back. How about it?"

After pondering for a moment, Luo Xiaoqiong nodded: "Okay, we’ll do it your way. Otherwise, if your brother doesn’t want to register the marriage, it would seem like I’m forcing him."

"Come on, if my brother didn’t want to register the marriage, would he be with you?" Chuxia rolled her eyes at her, "You can lie to others with that talk, but don’t pretend in front of me."

"Hehe..." Luo Xiaoqiong laughed awkwardly, then looked seriously at Chuxia, "I don’t hide anything from you, so you can’t make fun of me because of this in the future."

"Do I seem like that kind of person?"

"You used to be."

"Then why tell me?" Chuxia rolled her eyes in annoyance, "If you don’t trust me, don’t tell me. Telling me and then doubting me, what’s the point?"

"Because you’re different now, I feel like you wouldn’t do such a thing anymore."

"That’s more like it..." Chuxia said, pulling her along to quicken their pace, "Let’s go, my mother-in-law and the others are probably waiting at home, and it would be troublesome if they misunderstand that I’m upset."

"Chuxia, you’re luckier than me..." Luo Xiaoqiong pouted, complaining, "Uncle Baohe and Aunt Yulan are both by your side, and now even your grandparents are here with you.

When you return to your husband’s family, they treat you like a treasure. How many women have your luck? I mean, what did you do right by the heavens for it to be so kind to you?"

"Jealous?" Chuxia squinted at her, "If you’re jealous, bite me!"

"Annoying!" Luo Xiaoqiong glared at her bitterly, "You know I wouldn’t dare bite you now."

Laughing and chatting, the two returned to the car, and the driver, Zhou Xiaomeng, let out a long sigh of relief. He was so anxious, craning his neck to peer inside but not seeing the Young Madam. He wanted to go in and look, but was afraid of walking in on something; not looking was also risky, fearing something would really happen. Sigh, the master’s heart is truly big, sending just him alone to escort the Third Young Madam to see off the Third Young Master. What if she cried too bitterly...

"Xiao Meng, have you been waiting long?" Upon settling in, Chuxia first apologized to the driver, "We haven’t seen each other for two months and got carried away with chatting, sorry about that."

"No problem, no problem..." Zhou Xiaomeng looked flattered. He had heard that the Third Young Madam was very easy to get along with, and now it seemed true. Compared to the Fifth Young Madam, she was much easier to interact with.

As the elders waiting at home saw Chuxia return, her expression looking alright, they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

They chose to let her go alone because they wanted to give the young couple some alone time.

To be honest, Chuxia’s behavior made them very satisfied. Even kids raised in big families, when pregnant, couldn’t handle such situations with such openness.

After lunch, Chuxia accompanied Luo Xiaoqiong back to the unit, and of course, Zhou Xiaomeng was the one who drove them.

Although Old Madam Zhou and Lin Yanqiu were a bit concerned for Chuxia, thinking about how close the two were and wanting to catch up, they didn’t stop them.

Just as they were entering the compound, they ran into Director Xu, who was coming back from lunch. Chuxia and Luo Xiaoqiong quickly got out of the car to greet him.

Patting them on the back, Director Xu sighed, "You two have it tough, come on, let’s go sit in my office for a bit."

Since New Year’s, Chuxia hadn’t seen Director Xu, so she didn’t refuse and pulled Luo Xiaoqiong along to his office. On the way, they could clearly feel the unfriendly stares from many people.
