768: Are you pregnant?

"When you go out, you must dress warmly, and be sure to apply the medicinal plasters I made for you every day..."

"Alright, Grandpa will listen to you."

Grandpa Gu couldn't stop smiling.

"Your grandpa, he ran out again these past few days to play chess with his old Comrades-in-arms. In such cold weather, they play chess right in the courtyard..."

Grandma Gu said angrily.

Hearing his wife complain, Grandpa Gu pretended to be annoyed and said.

"Look at you, complaining again..."

Xiao Niannian heard this and said seriously.

"Grandpa, if you play chess in the courtyard again instead of going inside, I'll throw away all your chess pieces..."

Hearing his Granddaughter's threat, Grandpa Gu quickly said.

"Alright, alright, Grandpa will listen to you. From now on, I'll play chess indoors, somewhere warm..."

"I'll give you a few acupuncture needles, and your legs won't feel so cold these days. Today, soak your feet in warm water, and tomorrow I'll bring back some medicinal herbs for foot soaks..."

"Okay."

Hearing his Granddaughter say this, Grandpa Gu was overjoyed.

Just as Grandma Gu was about to speak, Xiao Niannian also said.

"Grandma, the same goes for you. Soak your feet in warm water today, and the medicinal herbs I bring back tomorrow will also be for you."

"Okay."

Xiao Niannian chatted with her Grandparents for a while, then looked toward Aunt Chen.

"Aunt Chen, please come over. Let me take a look at you too."

"Niannian, Auntie is fine. You don't need to trouble yourself."

Hearing this, Grandma Gu spoke up.

"Xiao Chen, come over quickly and let Niannian examine you."

Hearing this, Aunt Chen immediately sat down and placed her hand on the sofa.

After taking Aunt Chen's pulse, Xiao Niannian spoke.

"Aunt Chen, have you been suffering from insomnia and excessive dreaming lately..."

Hearing this, Aunt Chen immediately nodded.

"Tomorrow I will bring back some medicine for you. After taking it for three days, you will recover."

"It will be better in three days? That's wonderful! Thank you, Niannian."

Aunt Chen had previously felt that she suffered from insomnia, excessive dreaming, and slightly poor memory. She felt anxious about it, but since it wasn't a serious problem, she hadn't mentioned it.

She never expected that Niannian, after taking her pulse, would describe all her symptoms and say she'd recover after three days of medicine.

This was truly wonderful.

"Thank you, Niannian."

"You're welcome. It's thanks to you and Aunt Li for taking care of Grandparents..."

Xiao Niannian looked at Aunt Li and said with a smile.

"Aunt Li, please come and sit down. Let me take a look at you too."

Aunt Li nodded vigorously upon hearing Xiao Niannian's words.

After Xiao Niannian finished examining the aunts, she decided to bring the medicine back tomorrow, which would be more convenient for them.

Just as she finished treating her Elder Brother and everyone was chatting in the living room, Xiao Niannian heard the sound of a car.

Hearing footsteps, Xiao Niannian knew her father had returned.

"Mom and Dad, Precious..."

Chief Gu strode inside.

He had wanted to come back and see his daughter earlier, but he had a lot of work today. As soon as he finished, he immediately drove back.

"Dad."

Xiao Niannian stood up and looked at her father.

She noticed that her father's hair had recently turned blacker, and he looked more energetic than before.

"Dad, you look very handsome today."

Chief Gu was very happy to hear his daughter's compliment.

"Your dad looks like this every day."

Xiao Niannian knew exactly why her father was happy.

Now, every day or every two or three days, her father could talk to her mother on the phone for about ten minutes.

Her mother was no longer as resistant toward her father as she used to be.

Father wanted Mother to restore her original identity, but Mother couldn't let go of her family in Hong Kong City. Furthermore, the situation was currently unclear, and restoring her identity would negatively affect many people... Therefore, Father and Mother could not openly be together right now.

"You've grown taller."

Chief Gu looked at his daughter and said the same thing his parents had.

"Dad, you and Grandparents are truly amazing..."

Xiao Niannian complimented her elders.

Chief Gu was very happy hearing his daughter's praise.

"Are you still going to the Health Bureau tomorrow morning?"

Xiao Niannian nodded.

"Then tomorrow morning, Dad will drive you to the Health Bureau."

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian shook her head.

"I only need to arrive there at nine tomorrow, so you don't need to get up that early."

Hearing his daughter's words, Chief Gu nodded.

"The day after tomorrow is the weekend. Do you have to work on the weekend too?"

"Yes."

Hearing this, Chief Gu immediately said.

"Then the day after tomorrow, Dad will drive you to the Health Bureau."

"Okay."

Having returned to the old residence today, Chief Gu didn't want to leave.

"Mom, Dad, Niannian, let's go to the study and chat."

"Okay."

Once in the study, Chief Gu asked about the recent situation between Xiao Niannian and Lu Jing.

"How have you and Xiao Jing been lately?"

"Very well."

Xiao Niannian said with a smile.

"What happened when you fainted last time? Could it be that you're pregnant?"

Hearing this, Xiao Niannian froze for a moment, then shook her head.

"I am not pregnant."

"If you're not pregnant, why did you suddenly faint? Was the training too strenuous?"

Chief Gu had thought his daughter was pregnant, but it was inconvenient to discuss it over the phone before. So, as soon as he returned, he immediately asked.

Since his wife wasn't here, he wasn't sure if she had discussed certain things with their daughter, so he decided to ask for clarification himself.

Seeing his daughter's expression, Chief Gu felt a sense of relief.

If his daughter were pregnant, she would need to be extra cautious. She would definitely have to rest for at least half a year.

Furthermore, whether she could return to the Special Forces Brigade after giving birth would depend on her recovery.

He actually hoped his daughter wouldn't work so hard. Even if she served as a Political Instructor in the Special Forces Brigade, she wouldn't have to lead training every day and do the most arduous and exhausting tasks... "Dad, Grandparents, please don't worry. I have my own plans, and my body is truly fine..."

Xiao Niannian explained everything to her elders.

But judging by their expressions, they weren't entirely convinced.

After talking with them for a while, Xiao Niannian went back upstairs.

As soon as she returned upstairs, Xiao Niannian heard Grandpa and the others downstairs calling her Master.

"Old Lei, I am Gu Qi. I wanted to ask what exactly happened with Niannian's health..."

On the other end of the phone, Old Comrade Lei naturally told the truth.

"Niannian is in excellent health; there are no problems."

"But I heard she fainted and was hospitalized a few days ago..."

After Chief Gu found out about this, he called his son-in-law Lu Jing and scolded him severely.

"I examined Niannian thoroughly, and there truly is no problem. Her constitution is very strong..."

Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu, who were standing nearby, finally breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Old Comrade Lei's words.

"Old Lei, we believe what you say. If Niannian has any issues in the future, please be sure to inform us..." Grandpa Gu took the phone and spoke with Old Comrade Lei.

"Old Gu, please rest assured. Niannian is my apprentice, and I definitely won't hide anything if something happens..."
