The rain was too heavy, so the two decided not to leave tonight and stayed overnight at the villa. Everything here was fully equipped, very convenient.

After dinner, Lin Wanwan put on a coat and went to the shooting range next door to practice shooting.

The shooting range was open until nine in the evening, and even though there was sleet tonight, there were still quite a few guests in the venue, mostly young males, almost none were females.

Guests playing with guns at the shooting range included not only the hotel residents next door but also various military enthusiasts.

Ninety percent of the staff here were retired soldiers, very disciplined. Therefore, as soon as you walked into the venue, you would feel as if you had entered a military camp.

It wasn’t difficult for ordinary people to come and try shooting. You need to book in advance on the villa’s website, upload your ID and proof of no criminal record. Once approved, you can choose a date to come.

To be safe, everyone who enters must also complete a random psychological test at the front desk, mainly to check whether they are mentally healthy.

Only those who are physically and mentally healthy and have no criminal record can experience firearms at the range. Those with twisted psyches or previous convictions definitely cannot come in to handle guns, otherwise, the consequences are unpredictable.

Although Lin Wanwan had become the boss here, she was not the legal representative, just the major shareholder. The legal representative was a manager previously arranged by Lu Shouyue, who also handled the daily operations of the shooting range and held ten percent of the shares.

Lin Wanwan didn’t bother with the entire villa’s operations. She only attended a few meetings and listened to one financial report when she came with Lu Shouyue, just to get familiar faces.

Everything here still maintained the same appearance as when it was under Lu Shouyue’s control, and Lin Wanwan completely acted like a carefree shopkeeper.

To be honest, Lin Wanwan still didn’t quite feel that this place already belonged to her.

The shooting range had all kinds of firearms, certainly inferior to military ones, but enough to satisfy military enthusiasts. However, not everyone qualified to handle high-powered guns; some required special letters of introduction.

Being the major shareholder here, Lin Wanwan experienced many firearm types, but she practiced most with handguns, after all, she intended to use what she learned in the Great Tang!

She played until the shooting range was about to close at nine o’clock, reluctantly putting down the gun in her hand.

Lu Shouyue looked at her reluctant expression and chuckled, "Wanwan, this is your territory now. If you still want to play, just continue."

Closing time is no big deal for the boss.

"Forget it, I’ve played enough." Lin Wanwan decided to rest instead.

If she doesn’t leave, the staff here would have to work overtime with her; there’s no need to exploit the workers.

Holding an umbrella together, the two returned to the small courtyard. Lin Wanwan stood under the porch, gazing at the rain illuminated by the streetlamps, and sighed, "It used to be sleet before, now it’s completely rain. If only it would snow directly; I really want to see snow."

Lu Shouyue laughed, "If Wanwan wants to see snow, we can go north. Isn’t that easy?"

Lin Wanwan shrugged, "I just want to see snow at my doorstep, not travel too far. Not to mention the north; even the snow on the Four Bright Mountains is too far for me."

"Haha, then there’s nothing we can do." Lu Shouyue hung the umbrella under the porch, "Come on, let’s go inside. It’s cold out here."

"Oh, okay." Lin Wanwan smiled and followed him into the house.

That night, Lin Wanwan did not return to the Great Tang; she had brushed enough time in the Lion City before, and now she could brush up on modern time.

The next morning, Lu Shouyue departed for Hai City to attend Times Company’s annual meeting.

As the only son of Lu Xingjian, even if he hasn’t formally taken over Times Company yet, he already holds shares and is invited to the annual meeting every year.

On a rainy weekend, with no boyfriend to accompany her, Lin Wanwan of course chose to travel back to the Great Tang.

The atmosphere of the New Year in the Great Tang was already very strong, with lanterns and decorations everywhere, full of joy.

Lin Wanwan had mostly finished delivering New Year’s gifts to each family and received a lot in return; the sense of ceremony was quite sufficient.

While busy organizing New Year’s goods, a servant from the Wang Family next door came to invite Lin Wanwan over.

It turned out that their lady, who was also Lin Wanwan’s cousin, Xiao Xianghua, had suddenly fainted, and they requested Lin Wanwan to treat her.

Now, Lin Wanwan was basically a doctor for the upper class in Mao County, especially among the women.

Whenever any family’s female members felt unwell, they would seek her help, not to mention that Xiao Xianghua was a closer cousin of Lin Wanwan.

Having the experience of serving as an Imperial Physician for Empress Zhangsun, Lin Wanwan had become the most trusted doctor for everyone, and the royal family was indeed the best endorsement since ancient times.

After checking Xiao Xianghua’s pulse, Lin Wanwan didn’t know whether to congratulate her or worry for her.

"Xianghua, you’re not sick; you’re pregnant." Lin Wanwan sighed.

"Ah, I’m pregnant?" Xiao Xianghua couldn’t help but place her hand on her lower abdomen, a bit incredulously.

"Yes, you’re pregnant," Lin Wanwan confirmed, "When was your last menstrual period?"

With experience in feeling for pregnancy pulses, Lin Wanwan wouldn’t make a mistake.

"The fifth of last month."

"Hmm, then you’re exactly a month and a half pregnant now." Lin Wanwan said, feeling a bit emotional.

Xiao Xianghua was only seventeen, yet she was already pregnant.

Before her marriage, Lin Wanwan had explained the drawbacks of early childbirth to Xiao Xianghua and even gave her modern long-term oral contraceptives, pretending they were her self-made pills.

But Xiao Xianghua was still pregnant, which indicated she hadn’t followed Lin Wanwan’s advice on taking the contraceptives.

Xiao Xianghua saw the concern and confusion on Lin Wanwan’s face and felt moved, "Sister Wanwan, I know you don’t support me having a baby so early, but I had no choice. My family eagerly wanted a grandchild, and as a daughter-in-law, I have no choice."

"I understand." Lin Wanwan held her hand, "Since you’re already pregnant, just rest assured and nourish the fetus. I’ll take care of the adjustments."

"Thank you, Sister Wanwan."

"You’re welcome."

At this point, what more could Lin Wanwan say? After all, this was the Great Tang, where Li Shimin’s daughters married and had children at fourteen or fifteen. Could she really let Xiao Xianghua withstand pressure and marry at seventeen, give birth at twenty?

If she had not conceived in three years, her mother-in-law might have arranged a concubine for them.

The news of Xiao Xianghua’s pregnancy, except for Lin Wanwan who felt more shock than joy, was considered a major happy event by everyone else.

Her husband, Wang Mian, upon hearing the good news, immediately excitedly wrote to inform the Yue Family and Xiao Family in Qiantang.

When Lin Wanwan left the Wang Family, Xiao Xianghua’s courtyard was bustling, filled with people coming to congratulate her.
