Chapter 250: Chapter 224: A Kiss Won’t Hurt...(Second Update)
Weekend.
Gu Yanjing had to work overtime at Gu Group, and Qiao Yuxian, with nothing much to do at home, decided to accompany him.
As usual, the two sat next to each other.
Gu Yanjing worked while Qiao Yuxian also worked beside him.
She first handled the matters at Xi Mei Media, then took care of some simple translation work assigned by Xu Qingqing.
Gu Group was involved in so many industries, almost every industry had overseas connections.
In fact, the daily workload of the translation department was quite heavy.
Qiao Yuxian worked on some tasks assigned by Lin You, which included many technical terms.
This time, the tasks given by Xu Qingqing also contained a lot of technical terms.
Qiao Yuxian translated while researching at the same time.
She didn’t show it to Gu Yanjing.
Because once Gu Yanjing saw it, her internship at Gu Group would be exposed.
How could she not let him see it?
Mr. Gu could only keep her little secret and genuinely didn’t look.
After more than two hours, Qiao Yuxian finally finished translating everything, checked it once, and sent it to Xu Qingqing.
She knew Xu Qingqing would definitely review and edit it.
Everything had to be gone over.
Actually, even though they allocated some work to Qiao Yuxian, their workload didn’t lighten, and they even had to point out any translation issues to her.
Yet, they were still willing to mentor newcomers.
It was somewhat different from the internship work she imagined.
Everyone seemed to sincerely focus on doing their duties without any backstabbing, a healthy competition.
Everyone was earning and getting promoted through their efforts and capabilities.
Of course, with so many people, there are bound to be personality clashes.
But at most, it was just disliking each other, which didn’t affect the work.
Overall, everyone got along fairly well.
After sending the work to Xu Qingqing, Qiao Yuxian started looking up pregnancy care tips.
Recently, Xu Qingqing’s morning sickness had been quite severe.
Whatever she ate, she threw up.
Because of such a reaction, the entire translation department quickly learned she was pregnant.
She threw up every day, and everyone fed her daily, only for her to continue throwing up.
Qiao Yuxian researched a lot on the internet and even started reading literature in the end.
Seeing her seriously researching something even after finishing work, Gu Yanjing curiously glanced over.
Just then, Qiao Yuxian opened her search history while looking for a recent search term.
He saw her search history:
Pregnancy care tips.
Tips for over three months pregnant.
What to do if always nauseous during pregnancy?
Why nausea during pregnancy?
When does nausea end after getting pregnant?
Fetal development process.
Dangers of childbirth.
How painful is level ten pain?
Is childbirth terrifying?
Can you recover fully after childbirth?
Can you get back in shape after childbirth? Will it leave any aftereffects?
Gu Yanjing looked at her search terms, then his gaze moved down to her belly.
Qiao Yuxian was earnestly searching for the document related to pregnancy reactions and was about to hack the website when she sensed Gu Yanjing’s gaze.
Startled, she instinctively covered her belly with her hand.
In the office, Gu Yanjing wore only a white shirt, sitting upright with a straight back, broad shoulders, and a narrow waist.
He possessed an elegant aura mixed with a tense sense of power.
His eyes slightly moved as he looked into Qiao Yuxian’s eyes.
Though she hadn’t even caught his expression, Qiao Yuxian still felt a shiver in her heart as they locked eyes.
He had an aura that seemed like it could envelop her.
After a moment of eye contact.
Gu Yanjing, seeing the wary confusion in her eyes, paused and teased, "A kiss won’t get you pregnant."
His voice and tone were extremely serious and earnest.
Qiao Yuxian opened her mouth slightly but was speechless.
Gu Yanjing looked at her shocked and speechless expression.
After a pause, Gu Yanjing asked earnestly again, "Do you want a child?"
Qiao Yuxian looked perplexed.
Gu Yanjing observed her for a while longer, seeing she wasn’t responding, moved his chair back, and pulled her onto his lap.
With one hand on his shoulder and the other still covering her belly, Qiao Yuxian continued to look at him.
Gu Yanjing placed his hand over hers on her belly and said, "A kiss won’t get you pregnant, pregnancy requires..."
Qiao Yuxian immediately covered his mouth with both hands, preventing him from speaking.
Her expression fierce yet shy, "Don’t say it! Not a single word!"
Gu Yanjing, with his mouth covered, raised his left brow slightly and looked at her.
Seeing the playful twinkle in his eyes, Qiao Yuxian covered his eyes too.
Gu Yanjing chuckled softly.
"Don’t laugh," Qiao Yuxian said.
Gu Yanjing pulled her hands down, holding them in his and asked, "Do you like kids?"
"No." Qiao Yuxian blurted out without thinking, using a deliberately exaggerated tone.
"Hmm." Gu Yanjing responded.
Qiao Yuxian suddenly remembered his "Hmm" when he mentioned the snack store on the fifteenth floor of Gu Group.
"What does ’Hmm’ mean?" she asked this time.
Gu Yanjing hugged her waist and said, "If you don’t like them, we won’t have any."
Looking at him, Qiao Yuxian paused for a moment then said, "I thought about it, and I like them now."
Gu Yanjing didn’t say anything.
Qiao Yuxian squinted her eyes, "Hmm?"
"Even if you like them, let’s wait a few years," Gu Yanjing said in a statement, but it also sounded like he was negotiating with her.
"I don’t." Qiao Yuxian’s rebellious spirit awakened, "I like kids now."
Gu Yanjing looked at her.
Qiao Yuxian slightly raised her chin.
Gu Yanjing chuckled softly, "Now is fine too."
After he spoke, he stood up holding her.
Rising in the air, Qiao Yuxian instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck. Seeing him carry her towards the resting room, she chickened out at once.
"No, no. Mr. Gu, calm down!" Qiao Yuxian shook his neck, "Calm down! I was joking! Don’t take it seriously! Gu Yanjing! Gu Yanjing! I was wrong, I was wrong."
As Gu Yanjing stepped into the resting room, Qiao Yuxian grabbed the doorframe tightly, refusing to let go, "I don’t want it, I don’t want it. I don’t want my first time here."
Qiao Yuxian clung tightly to the doorframe.
Listening to her words, a current seemed to pass through Gu Yanjing’s heart, gently trembling. He inhaled softly, calming his emotions.
He stepped back from the door, looked at her, and asked, "Then where do you want it?"
With a flushed face, Qiao Yuxian couldn’t find her words, feeling both shy and fierce like a red pufferfish.
Afraid of pushing her too far, Gu Yanjing slightly bent down and let her go.
Qiao Yuxian immediately stood outside the resting room as if it were burning hot.
Gu Yanjing teasingly flicked her nose, "Teasing you."
Qiao Yuxian glared at him fiercely, "Hmph!"
"Why were you looking at those?" Gu Yanjing touched her puffed-up face.
Qiao Yuxian shot him another look, the little pufferfish deflated, and said, "There’s a sister at work who takes care of me, she’s pregnant and has been throwing up a lot. I was thinking about how to make her feel better."
"You can ask Aunt Mei," Gu Yanjing suggested, "She knows a lot about that."
"Really?" Qiao Yuxian asked.
"My mom was...," Gu Yanjing paused, then continued, "My mom had bad morning sickness, and Aunt Mei took care of her."
Hearing his pause, Qiao Yuxian didn’t ask more but said, "I’ll ask Aunt Mei tonight when I get home."
"Okay," Gu Yanjing said, gently touching the top of her head.
