Ruling the Historical Romance Novel as the Female Supporting Character-Chapter 413: We Need to Hand in the Materials Soon

The four people in the living room were already tense, and upon seeing the situation, their hearts immediately rose to their throats.

"How is it? Is Jiajia feeling unwell?" Grandma Zhou asked anxiously.

"Jiajia is pregnant," Qin Kaize said with a serious face.

"Didn’t you just say she wasn’t?" Grandma Lin was quite frightened.

If it weren’t for Jiajia spotting some blood over the past few days, she wouldn’t have adamantly claimed she wasn’t pregnant. Did that mean something was wrong with the baby in her belly?!

Clearly, the other three elders thought the same, directing accusatory gazes at Qin Kaize.

"Look at you! Is this how you take care of Jiajia? How could you make such a mistake with something so big?" Grandma Zhou said angrily, slapping Qin Kaize a few times.

If he weren’t supporting Su Yijia, she might have hit him even harder.

Qin Kaize hung his head, feeling incredibly guilty. He thought it must be his eagerness that harmed the baby in Jiajia’s belly.

However, while they could point fingers, the most important thing was to confirm whether Jiajia and the baby were okay.

"Let’s go to the hospital quickly. We need to check this out thoroughly!" Grandma Lin said as she got up to gather things for a hospital stay.

Su Yijia hurriedly advised, "Grandma, it’s really not that troublesome. I already checked my pulse, and I’m certain the baby is doing fine."

"No way! I don’t trust your judgement; you didn’t even know you were pregnant!" Grandma Lin rejected her without hesitation, glaring.

"The main thing is that during the first month of pregnancy, whether it’s checking the pulse or tests, nothing usually shows up," Su Yijia explained, feeling somewhat helpless.

But the four elders wouldn’t listen to her explanations; they insisted on taking her to the hospital for a thorough examination.

Seeing their anxiety, Su Yijia knew that if she didn’t go, they probably wouldn’t sleep well that night.

Finally, she could only acquiesce to their demands.

Fortunately, Qin Kaize had borrowed an ox cart from the neighboring village. However, Su Yijia felt no joy at all.

She had finally gained everyone’s trust in her medical skills, and now that the baby was coming, her hard-earned credibility had been shattered completely.

They were going to the hospital at night, all this fuss just to check on her pregnancy.

The doctor was taken aback.

After a series of examinations, the doctor looked at the reports and smiled, "Congratulations! Your baby is very healthy."

"Then about the bleeding I had a week ago, there won’t be any issues, right?" Su Yijia was somewhat nervous herself.

"From what I see now, there doesn’t seem to be a problem. It could be that you were too tired or too nervous at that time. Many people experience this. The baby in your belly is doing just fine; you don’t need to worry," the doctor replied seriously.

Upon hearing this, the two families didn’t relax; instead, they became even more tense.

Once they left the hospital, Grandma Zhou looked earnestly at Qin Kaize, who was supporting Su Yijia.

"You, you brat, you need to take good care of Jiajia from now on, understand? If anything happens to her, I won’t recognize you as my grandson anymore."

"Of course, I’ll take good care of Jiajia," Qin Kaize immediately replied.

His eyes were glued to Su Yijia’s belly, unwilling to move away for even a moment.

"Actually, there’s no need to be so nervous. The doctor just said I’m doing great," Su Yijia said, trying to soothe them.

But not just the four elders; even Qin Kaize looked at her with disapproval.

"Be good; stop fussing. You just need to rest, and I’ll handle everything else," Qin Kaize said firmly, leaving no room for argument.

"Right, Jiajia, if anything comes up, just let Ze take care of it. He’s sturdy, and doing some work won’t tire him out," Grandma Zhou echoed.

Seeing that she couldn’t persuade them, Su Yijia could only helplessly let them fuss over her.

As a result, for the next twenty days, she was treated like a porcelain doll, completely pampered by both families.

They were overly cautious, afraid she might break if held too tightly or melt if kept in the mouth for too long.

On New Year’s Eve, they had a particularly lively and sumptuous reunion dinner.

Qin Kaize bought a lot of fireworks to set off in the yard.

Su Yijia wrapped in a thick scarf, looked like a ball standing outside.

Children from nearby families, seeing the fireworks, all ran over to join in the fun.

Su Yijia originally wanted to share some candy with them for a festive mood.

But Grandma Zhou and the others were afraid the children might bump into Su Yijia, so they surrounded her in the middle.

The candy was distributed by Grandpa Lin and Grandpa Xia, with each child receiving two fruit candies and one White Rabbit milk candy.

The children were ecstatic, offering their congratulations repeatedly.

Looking at the peaceful scene before her, Su Yijia felt that coming into this storybook world wasn’t so bad after all.

The warmth of human interaction was fulfilling and beautiful.

It wasn’t as terrible as she had once imagined.

Since she was pregnant, Su Yijia also couldn’t keep watch that night.

Qin Kaize, as her husband, naturally stayed indoors to take care of her.

Nestled in Qin Kaize’s broad embrace, with the fire crackling beside them, she felt utterly languid.

Qin Kaize held her hand and kissed it gently.

"Have you thought about how to hand over the materials from the space?"

Su Yijia turned over, wrapping her arm around his neck, and asked curiously.

Qin Kaize quickly placed his hand on her belly, fearing she might compress the baby.

"Didn’t we already figure out the materials we have on hand? Although those materials are troublesome, they aren’t unavailable. I’ve already called to apply for more from the team. We can’t get too much, but we should be able to secure one batch. This way, it’s all legitimate. Both your school and mine have labs. Once school starts, I’ll apply to the team and ask you to come help me. As long as we hand over what we have, we’ll have enough reasons for everything afterward."

His gentle voice detailed the upcoming plans.

For over twenty days, the two of them hadn’t helped with anything at home.

The four elders always said that Qin Kaize would do everything, but in reality, they just wanted him to stay by Jiajia’s side.

They took care of all the household chores, not allowing the two of them to lift a finger.

Since there weren’t any heavy tasks at home, Qin Kaize and Su Yijia didn’t stop them, seeing the elders enjoying their work. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

They lounged in the room all day, with nothing else to do.

They simply focused on completing the research they hadn’t finished before.

"I think it’s too slow," Su Yijia shook her head.

"Hmm?" Qin Kaize looked at her in confusion.

Su Yijia furrowed her delicate brows and said, "I don’t know why, but I feel like once we get to Jingdu City, things won’t go smoothly. We need to build up enough resources sooner. Right now, it’s going to take at least one or two months to hand these materials in.

The longer the time, the greater the variables, and it’s not safe."
