Chapter 991: Chapter 988: News of the Third Child

"Hmm?" Lu Jinxuan frowned, "Doctor? Is Madam unwell?"

"Hee hee." The butler chuckled, "Sir, why don’t you go up and see?"

Judging by the butler’s demeanor, it didn’t seem like she was unwell...

Lu Jinxuan’s mind flashed — could it be?

Le Zhengsheng saw everything clearly, wow... Lu Jinxuan was so fortunate?

The two quickly went upstairs, and Yu Sangwan was speaking with the doctor just as they came out, "Thank you, I’ll contact you if anything comes up."

"You’re too kind, Madam," the doctor said with a smile.

"What’s going on?" Lu Jinxuan frowned slightly, "Why did you call the doctor?"

Le Zhengsheng blurted out, "Madam, are you... pregnant again?"

Lu Jinxuan looked tense, staring at Yu Sangwan, "Taotao?"

"...Yes." Yu Sangwan smiled lightly and nodded.

The doctor chimed in from beside them, "Madam is three weeks pregnant, and everything is fine so far."

"Ah!" Lu Jinxuan was overwhelmed with excitement, immediately lifting Yu Sangwan and spinning her around in place, "My dear, how amazing you are!"

The doctor and Le Zhengsheng exchanged glances, feeling a bit embarrassed.

"I shall take my leave," the doctor said with a smile, heading downstairs.

Le Zhengsheng, however, remained standing there. Lu Jinxuan put down Yu Sangwan and squinted his eyes at him, "Aren’t you leaving?"

"Tsk." Le Zhengsheng snickered, "I have something to discuss with you, Your Excellency. Should I leave?"

With a tone full of jealousy, Lu Jinxuan glared at him, "You are blatantly jealous!"

"Indeed." Le Zhengsheng laughed softly, looking at Yu Sangwan, "Wanwan, congratulations."

"Thank you." Yu Sangwan pressed her lips together, placing her hand cautiously over her belly.

Le Zhengsheng’s gaze turned distant; he still remembered that shortly after Yu Sangwan’s last pregnancy, his Ningning was also pregnant...

Ah, now Yu Sangwan is expecting again, but what about Gu Xiaoning? Le Zhengsheng shook his head; how could it be such a coincidence? Their frequency wasn’t high, nor were they sure if it was during Gu Xiaoning’s ovulation period.

Lu Jinxuan supported Yu Sangwan, "Taotao, you must be careful... It’s crucial to be extra cautious in the beginning."

"Yes." Yu Sangwan rolled her eyes at him, "My dear President knows so much! I’ve had two children already, and yet... I know nothing?"

Lu Jinxuan knew she was teasing and accepted it cheerfully, "Yes, yes, yes, I was nagging... but I’m more than happy to do so."

Due to the sudden good news, the inner courtyard of Guan Chao had been quite busy for the past few days.

From the food to the servants, Lu Jinxuan rearranged everything.

During the pregnancies of Dumpling and Rice Ball, he couldn’t be by Yu Sangwan’s side throughout the process. Now, with this third child, he naturally felt incredibly grateful for the opportunity to accompany his wife through her pregnancy.

The servants, as a result, had their salaries raised.

Especially those responsible for taking care of Yu Sangwan.

Because of this, the servants were gossiping.

"Madam’s pregnancy has led to improved conditions for us ahead of time."

"Ah..." An older servant sighed, "Thankfully, Madam is young — not yet thirty, and already expecting her third... having many children can be quite a task."

"Why worry when they’re yours?"

"Exactly, taking care of your own children is sweet, look at the young master and young lady, they grew up wonderfully."

"Ah, but there is Susu..."

"Don’t say that, Madam is very considerate of Susu. She treats her the same as she treats the young lady... Madam is truly kind-hearted, treating a rival’s child as her own. All provisions are exactly like those for the young lady."

...

Lu Qingming opted not to enter through the main entrance but came in through the side door.

Upon entering, he heard the servants gossiping.

This kind of thing is unavoidable anywhere.

Though young, Lu Qingming had a broad mind. Normally, he said nothing, but today...

Lu Qingming stepped forward and scolded, "What behavior is this? Are you discussing the masters?"

"Ah... Young Master."

"Young Master."

Everyone bowed their heads, feeling fearful.

Lu Qingming furrowed his brows tightly, "I caught you talking about Susu? She is a child of the Lu Family; hasn’t Madam ever told you this?"

"..."

The servants remained silent, not daring to retort.

"Hmph." Lu Qingming snorted coldly, "If I hear anyone say Susu is a rival’s child, or similar comments about the masters... I’ve remembered every one of you! I’ll settle accounts with you!"

After speaking, he turned around and left.

The servants clutched their chests, sighing.

"The young master is truly intimidating..."

"Indeed, at such a young age..."

"Stop talking! You might get fired!"

Everyone clammed up.

Lu Qingming walked inside, always feeling something was off. He turned sideways and called towards the passageway, "Come out!"

From inside, there was rustling; sounds were evident.

Lu Qingming saw a small shadow and a smile appeared on his lips, "Not coming out yet?"

"..."

Rustling, Gong Susu emerged from the passageway, obediently standing before Lu Qingming, "...Brother."

Lu Qingming frowned, "Lift your head."

"...Oh." Gong Susu obeyedly lifted her head.

Lu Qingming looked at her slightly reddened eyes and felt discomfort in his heart, "Heard it?"

He was referring to the servants’ gossip earlier.

"Yes." Gong Susu nodded, looking very aggrieved.

"Susu." Lu Qingming raised his hand and placed it on Gong Susu’s head, "Don’t listen to their nonsense. This group of gossipmongers lives off talking behind people’s backs; it’s their fun. In my heart, you are my sister, just like Rice Ball, you understand?"

Gong Susu lifted her face, her mouth opening and closing, "..."

Yet, she didn’t say anything. Lu Qingming smiled, "Is there something you want to say?"

Gong Susu’s cheeks reddened, but she still kept silent.

"Haha." Lu Qingming ruffled her hair, "Mouth open, asking brother for candy?"

As he spoke, he reached into his pocket.

"Not today." Lu Qingming felt regret, "Alright then, it’s early before dinner, how about I take you out?"

Immediately, Gong Susu’s eyes sparkled.

She preferred to go out with her brother, even though Yu Sangwan would also take her shopping, but shopping in malls with her was quite different compared to going crazy with Lu Qingming.

"Let’s go." Lu Qingming took her hand, "What are you staring for? If my mom discovers we’ll be nowhere near able to go."

"Yes!" Gong Susu nodded eagerly, sneaking out of Guan Chao with Lu Qingming.

Lu Qingming took Gong Susu out first to visit the guard’s quarters.

"Susu, wait a moment."

Lu Qingming went inside, grabbed a few items from his bag, and handed them to the guard.

The guard seemed familiar with it, "Young Master."

"Yes." Lu Qingming nodded, "Just like before."

"Understood, I remember... send it to the Ailao Mountain Health Center."

Lu Qingming smirked, "And there hasn’t been a reply from me?"
