Chapter 2731: Chapter 2735: So Embarrassing!

Ye Xingbei made a good point.

But Gu Junzhu was so anxious his heart felt like it was being scratched by a hundred claws; he wished he could get a definite result right this second.

He had never been this unable to keep his cool.

He thought for a moment, then instructed Gu Chi, "Xiao Chi, arrange for two people to go back and buy pregnancy tests. As soon as they’re done, have them rush back."

Gu Chi received the order. "Yes, Young Master!"

Ye Xingbei didn’t get it. "Go back how?"

Gu Junzhu said, "There’s a speedboat at the back of the cruise ship."

Ye Xingbei nodded. "Oh, oh."

That works.

Don’t be fooled by how calm she sounded; in truth she also couldn’t wait to know the result right away.

It was just that the bit of rationality she had left told her it wasn’t right to kill everyone’s mood on the ship and make them go back with her for this; that was why she’d talked Gu Junzhu out of turning the ship around.

Sending just one bodyguard to buy pregnancy tests wouldn’t bother anyone else; that was acceptable.

Sure enough, Fifth Lord of Gu was still the smartest!

Ye Xingbei reminded Gu Chi, "Keep it low-key."

They still didn’t know if she was actually pregnant.

If it turned out she wasn’t, and the whole world found out, that would be way too embarrassing.

Gu Chi nodded. "Got it, Young Madam."

He didn’t make a phone call, afraid he wouldn’t be able to explain clearly over the phone.

He turned to leave, called over a trusted aide, and gave a few detailed instructions.

His trusted aide was excited too, nodding over and over, then practically flying toward the stern, taking the speedboat and heading off.

Gu Junzhu wrapped an arm around Ye Xingbei and looked her up and down. "How are you feeling now? Anywhere uncomfortable? Do you need to lie down?"

Ye Xingbei couldn’t help laughing. "It’s not that serious. I’m just nauseous and kind of craving something spicy."

"Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl." Fifth Lord of Gu stared at her belly, saying excitedly, "This one is definitely a girl!"

"..." Ye Xingbei pushed him. "Get away! We don’t even know if I’m really pregnant yet. If it turns out I’m not, people are going to laugh their teeth off."

"Don’t doubt it, you definitely are!" Gu Junzhu was full of confidence.

The symptoms matched, the pulse matched; she had to be pregnant.

Definitely!

"Let’s wait until the pregnancy test is here and we’ve used it before we say anything," Ye Xingbei didn’t dare sound too sure.

She remembered watching a palace drama where the empress was desperately hoping for a son.

For a few days, the empress had a poor appetite and felt tired all the time—just like early pregnancy symptoms.

The empress was convinced she was pregnant, so she summoned the Imperial Physician to take her pulse.

In the end, the Imperial Physician told the empress she was about to hit menopause.

So awkward!

Although at her age she definitely wasn’t close to menopause.

But anything can happen in life.

Before she saw a definite result, it was better not to get too high-profile.

Otherwise the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment—and the easier it was to get slapped in the face.

She felt that after knowing she might be pregnant, Fifth Lord of Gu’s whole state was off; his gaze kept sneaking toward her belly.

Afraid his condition might escalate, Ye Xingbei grabbed his hand and stood up. "Come on, let’s go out on deck and get some air. If I feel the breeze, I might feel better."

Gu Junzhu naturally didn’t refuse.

He escorted Ye Xingbei to the deck and stayed right by her side, careful to the extreme, not leaving her even half a step, as if she were a piece of fragile Liuli glass that would shatter with one fall.

Ye Xingbei was both amused and exasperated by him. "Fifth Lord of Gu, this is so not your style! You’re always so laid-back and careless about everything. How come you’re so jumpy now?"

"What are you talking about?" Gu Junzhu reached out and gently touched her belly. "You might be carrying a little gold nugget in there. How could I not be nervous?
