Chapter 1499: Chapter 1498: Your Taste Has Become So Strange Lately

A few people chatted until late, without realizing it, the sky had already darkened, and Gong Chenli led Xia Xi home.

Only Gu Tong and Li Yan were left in the hospital.

Gu Tong had just been found pregnant, coupled with having fainted earlier, so for precaution’s sake, the doctor insisted on keeping her in the hospital for observation for a day.

If it were another illness, Gu Tong wouldn’t have listened to the doctor like this. However, pregnancy is a big deal. Due to past experiences, Gu Tong is extremely cautious this time, absolutely not allowing any slip-ups.

Li Yan stayed by her side and said, "No wonder your tastes have become so peculiar recently."

For a while, the things Gu Tong ate weren’t her usual favorites, and she had an especially big appetite, often eating an extra late-night snack.

At first, Li Yan didn’t think much of it, but after hearing about the pregnancy, everything suddenly connected.

Gu Tong touched her belly and said, "At first, I thought it was just stomach issues."

Though she didn’t have significant pregnancy symptoms, she occasionally felt nauseous and bloated. She thought it was because she had been eating too much at night recently, leading to indigestion.

Li Yan helplessly held Gu Tong’s hand and took care of her meticulously, saying, "Tomorrow, I’ll take you to look at other Li Family properties, and we need to finalize the other arrangements too."

They were no longer just the two of them; a new life was about to join them.

Therefore, what they consider couldn’t be limited to just themselves but needed to prepare more extensively.

Who knows what extreme actions Gong Qingwan might take once she finds out Gu Tong is pregnant, so they definitely couldn’t continue living at the Li Family.

Fortunately, they had plans to move out recently, so they might as well strike while the iron is hot and choose a safe and reliable place to move to.

By then, according to the original plan, they would hire staff, handle all business properly, and prioritize Gu Tong’s safety.

At this moment, Li Yan’s mind was entirely occupied with thoughts of this child. On one hand, he was worried, and on the other, he was on guard against Gong Qingwan’s scheming.

Li Yan thought for a bit and said, "Oh right, there are still little clothes, a baby stroller, milk powder, toys — our child needs many things. I need to go shopping."

Gu Tong squeezed his hand and said, "No need to go to so much trouble, the child’s not even formed yet; getting too many things now would be useless to him."

"Better to be safe than sorry," Li Yan said straightforwardly, "I’ll get someone to buy some essential supplies so that when the child is born, we won’t be caught off guard."

"... How could we possibly be caught off guard with the way you’re shopping? You’re much more likely to buy too much rather than too little."

Gu Tong’s lips twitched slightly and she said, "Well, you do as you see fit..." Since she couldn’t stop him, she might as well let him go on with it.

This seemed almost like an attitude of leaving everything to fate.

Li Yan pursed his lips, feeling deeply apologetic, and said, "Actually, at this time, you should be taking good care of yourself, not going through such upheaval."

He was referring to Gong Qingwan’s issues and more importantly, the Li Family matters.

Generally, since Gu Tong is now pregnant, she should be resting well, not overworking herself like this.

Li Yan was deeply pained, feeling that it was all his fault. If he could manage things better, would Gu Tong not be so exhausted?

That’s how it is with couples; they are united as one, always considering things for each other’s sake.
