CHAPTER 337: CHAPTER 337: SISTER-IN-LAW GIVING BIRTH (PART 1)

After returning home, He Qi’an calculated the time, placed the order, and the delivery had just arrived.

After the three of them ate, He Qi’an left to go back to his own home.

After Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi washed up, they went to rest early.

Early the next morning, Lin Xiaoyan sent a message to her parents, saying she was back in Sea City.

Lin Mu’s video call came in directly.

"Mom, you’re up so early?"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at the time; it was only six o’clock.

Lin Mu: "Your sister-in-law is going for a prenatal check-up, today we’re going to the hospital to book a room, then confirm the delivery time..."

Earlier, Fan Lalan decided on having a C-section.

So now it’s exactly 38 weeks, this should be the last or second-to-last check-up.

The delivery time will need to be confirmed today after the check-up, in consultation with the doctor.

"Alright, booking the room in advance means you can move in directly after delivery, avoiding a situation where there are no rooms..." Lin Xiaoyan said.

Lin Mu: "Yes, Yanyan, you didn’t have any trouble in Beijing this time, right?"

Hearing her mother’s words, Lin Xiaoyan smiled, "No issues, I’m doing fine!"

Lin Mu looked at her daughter, reassured only after confirming she was fine.

"As long as you’re okay, I’ll hang up now. I need to cook, and then we’ll head to the hospital early."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Xiaoyan took out a map, looking at the map of Hua Country.

The director said her task this year was to wander around! To run around freely!

Out of personal interest, she definitely wanted to be home for her nephew’s (niece’s) birth.

So, Lin Xiaoyan looked at the map, planning how to start her journey.

After looking at the map for a while, Lin Xiaoyan decided to visit the store today.

Upon arriving at the store, Lin Xiaoyan saw her brother was already there, eating while opening the door.

"Brother!"

Lin Hao turned around immediately upon hearing his sister’s voice.

Seeing it was indeed his sister, he walked over excitedly, "Yanyan, Sister Nan, it’s really you! When did you come back?"

Lin Xiaoyan: "Last night, it was a bit late, so I didn’t tell you."

Lin Hao: "Have you eaten?"

"Yes, go ahead and eat, I’ll tidy up the store."

Lin Hao quickly stopped her, "Don’t bother, there’s nothing to tidy up. I cleaned up last night; just turn on the lights."

Lin Xiaoyan walked into the store with her brother, seeing the tidy shop, she didn’t need to worry about it at all.

"Brother, when are you planning to go back?"

Lin Hao finished the last bite of his meal and said, "Today your sister-in-law is getting a check-up, we should confirm the delivery date, so maybe two days before the delivery."

After hearing this, Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Who are you leaving the store with? Are you hiring someone else or...?"

Lin Hao: "I’ve arranged it. Li Wen has fewer classes this year, he can come over, and during his classes, the shop assistants will take turns watching the store. We’ll give them a raise..."

Hearing her brother’s arrangement, Lin Xiaoyan also felt relieved.

Now she doesn’t worry about the store affairs at all, leaving it all to her brother.

"Alright, since you’ve arranged everything, I’m relieved."

Lin Xiaoyan took a look around and, seeing nothing else to do, decided to leave.

"Oh, right, brother, ahem..." Lin Xiaoyan scanned the payment code with her phone, "I ordered bubble tea for all the comrades at the police station across the street, when the shop assistants come, can you deliver it over?"

Lin Hao: "Sure, I’ll deliver it once it’s ready."

Lin Xiaoyan nodded with a smile, "Then I’m off!"

"Okay."

Lin Hao watched his sister head to the police station across the street, shaking his head, as he knew this girl would definitely go to see Xiao He when she came to the store.

"Xiao Lin is back! Congratulations!"

"Xiao Lin, you’re finally back!

Congratulations on your engagement with Captain He!"

"Xiao Lin, happy engagement! We’re looking forward to your and Captain He’s wedding banquet!"

"Xiao Lin, happy engagement, hope you have a baby soon!"

Hearing Officer Zhang Ming’s blessing, Lin Xiaoyan blushed immediately.

Others also heard Zhang Ming’s "hope you have a baby soon" and laughed heartily.

"Xiao Zhang, aren’t you jumping the gun a bit with that blessing?!"

"Hahaha... Xiao Zhang seems to have expressed our captain’s heartfelt wishes."

The others laughed upon hearing this.

Amid everyone’s laughter, Lin Xiaoyan blushed even more.

"Ahem, ahem..."

Li He, seeing the captain return, coughed to remind everyone.

"What are you all laughing at? Working hours, what are you doing!"

He Qi’an walked into the office, sternly looking at everyone and saying.

Everyone immediately fell silent, quickly sitting down to work seriously.

As He Qi’an turned, he saw Lin Xiaoyan glaring at him with a flushed face. He was taken aback, then a look of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"What brings you here?"

He Qi’an sat down with Lin Xiaoyan.

"I went to the store for a bit, ordered bubble teas for everyone, once they’re ready, my brother will bring them over, remember to collect them!"

Lin Xiaoyan glanced at everyone working and said softly, "I didn’t have any other reason, just came by to see you, I’m leaving now!"

Hearing that his girlfriend came specifically to see him, He Qi’an was filled with sweetness.

"I’ll walk you out." He Qi’an stood up and said gently.

As soon as the two left the office, everyone immediately said, "Oh my, the way our captain spoke just now was really gentle, wasn’t it?"

"I heard that Xiao Lin said she ordered us bubble tea!"

"Xiao Lin is so nice! So, does this count as replacing the wedding candy?"

...

At nine-thirty, Lin Xiaoyan and Nan Xi arrived at the Special Investigation Bureau.

She came to apply for a car and request a salary raise for Sister Nan.

"Alright, Comrade Xiao Lin, I will submit the application shortly." The staff member at the Special Investigation Bureau accepted the application form and said with a smile.

Lin Xiaoyan nodded, "Thank you."

"No problem at all."

After leaving the Special Investigation Bureau, Lin Xiaoyan took Nan Xi with her to buy clothes.

It’s getting warmer, so they needed to buy some clothes.

However, just as they reached the mall entrance, Lin Mu called.

"Hello, Mom."

"Hello, Yanyan, why can’t I get through to your brother’s phone!" Lin Mu’s voice was a bit anxious.

Lin Xiaoyan’s heart tightened, "My brother is probably busy at the store and hasn’t checked his phone, what’s wrong, Mom? You went to the hospital for a check-up with my sister-in-law, right? What happened?"

Lin Mu: "Oh dear, your sister-in-law just finished an ultrasound and it showed low amniotic fluid. The doctor said to go for a C-section, your sister-in-law will be the first into the operating room tomorrow morning."

Lin Xiaoyan: "Tomorrow she’s giving birth!!!"

Lin Mu: "Yes, we’re not sure what happened, the amniotic fluid suddenly dropped to just over ninety, the doctor is worried about hypoxia, so decided to go for a C-section."

"Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll tell my brother at the store now, we’ll buy plane tickets and head back today!"

Nan Xi had already heard Lin Xiaoyan’s conversation, and she immediately searched for plane tickets for today on her phone.

There’s a flight at one-thirty, she directly bought three plane tickets.

"Alright then, don’t worry, listen to the doctor, we’ll return home right away." Lin Xiaoyan reassured her mom and immediately went back to the store with Nan Xi.

When they returned to the store, her brother was busy attending to customers.
