CHAPTER 35: CHAPTER 35: I HEARD WOMEN GET SLEEPY WHEN THEY’RE PREGNANT

Fu Mulan heard the words and frowned, looking at Jin Jumo with an inquisitive gaze, "Did Miss Jin rest late last night?"

Jin Jumo shook her head, reluctantly, "I slept just after ten yesterday."

Knowing she had to get up early, she went to bed early.

Fu Mulan paused for two seconds, seemingly casually, said, "I’ve heard that women become sleepy when pregnant."

"Really?" Jin Jumo didn’t mind and smiled, climbing out of bed and walking towards the bathroom, "Miss Fu, could you please prepare something for me to eat? I like fish."

Fish?

Fu Mulan’s eyes deepened, "Alright."

In the bathroom, Jin Jumo stared at her pale face in the mirror, while the nervousness reflected in her taohua eyes hadn’t dispersed. She dazedly looked down at her belly.

Is it possible?

Could it be?

She had always taken precautions; he didn’t like barriers during intimate moments, as it made him uncomfortable. So she would buy post-intercourse pills every time afterward and had never forgotten...

No!

Something’s not right...

Jin Jumo panicked, recalling.

The night before he went to the UK, they also...

The next day she got up late, hurriedly tidied up and rushed to school to attend Zhou Xueyi’s lecture, then met Mu Yan, who pulled her to school to act as a parent. After that, she completely forgot about it... until today when she remembered.

Besides, her period seems to be more than ten days late this month...

And that dream just now... Jin Jumo covered her face in despair.

She was already scared paralyzed by herself.

When Jin Jumo came out of the bathroom, her expression was normal, even humming a tune in good spirits.

In this world, probably only Jin Jiancheng and Jian Liangtong knew, Jin Jumo would hum unconsciously in situations of extreme tension and apprehension to disguise her emotions.

Fu Mulan was standing at the bedroom door, "Miss Jin seems to be in a good mood."

Jin Jumo did not speak, just smiled at her.

Fu Mulan narrowed her eyes slightly, "The fish Miss Jin likes was already sent from the hotel. Miss Jin, please eat while it’s hot."

"Okay, thanks for the trouble, Miss Fu." Jin Jumo expressed her gratitude.

"It’s what I should do," Fu Mulan replied.

The suite has a dedicated dining room.

Walking to the dining room, Jin Jumo looked at the food on the table, her heart surging.

Though she said she liked fish, did it need to be nothing but fish on the entire table?

And does cooking fish require that much oil?

"Miss Jin likes fish, and it so happens that the hotel’s chef specializes in fish, so I had the chef prepare several fish dishes with different flavors, hoping Miss Jin will be satisfied." Fu Mulan’s gaze quietly fell on Jin Jumo’s face.

Heh.

Thank your whole family!

Jin Jumo sat down at the dining table with a grin, "Then I’ll need to eat more to not let Miss Fu’s kindness go to waste."

Fu Mulan’s brows moved slightly, she said nothing but didn’t leave.

Jin Jumo was not restrained, enjoying eating fish, and invited Fu Mulan, "Would Miss Fu like to eat together?"

Fu Mulan watched Jin Jumo eating fish and did not show any unusual expressions during the process, her demeanor relaxed, "Thank you, Miss Jin, I’ve already eaten."

Jin Jumo didn’t insist, "focuses" on eating fish.

Persistently, Fu Mulan stood nearby observing Jin Jumo until her meal was finished.

Jin Jumo’s stomach churned while her face appeared relaxed and content, "The hotel’s chef’s specialty dish is indeed exceptional. It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted such ’delicious’ fish."

Fu Mulan lowered her gaze, "If Miss Jin likes, I’ll have the chef prepare more for dinner."

"Better not. Eating something good too often will make you sick of it." Jin Jumo smiled and shook her head, getting up to leave the dining room and headed directly to the bedroom’s bathroom, "I’ll go rinse my mouth, Miss Fu, you can do as you please."

Fu Mulan watched her disappearing back, seemingly in thought.

Once inside the bedroom, Jin Jumo’s expression changed drastically, covering her mouth and rushing into the bathroom, quickly locking the door behind her, and then collapsed over the toilet, vomiting until she was dizzy.

Before, she thought fish was the most delicious food in the world, but now, she couldn’t even talk about fish without feeling distressed.

Only when she had almost vomited out all the fish in her stomach did Jin Jumo feel a bit comfortable.

Yet, her mind was getting even heavier with suspicion.

Under these circumstances, could she really...

Jin Jumo came out of the bathroom to find Fu Mulan standing at the bedroom door again, looking at her with a vague expression.

Her mouth twitched slightly.

Suddenly she felt that Assistant Fu was quite suitable for acting, hmm... in a supernatural film.

"The boss has a full schedule for the whole day and will probably return to the hotel in the evening. Ju City is known worldwide as a tourist city, if Miss Jin feels bored, you can go out, take a walk, and appreciate Ju City’s unique natural scenery." Fu Mulan said.

"Okay." Jin Jumo smiled.

Ju City truly deserves its reputation as a tourist destination, although this season isn’t peak tourist time, the streets were already packed with people.

Jin Jumo wandered the streets, stopping here and there, exploring like a tourist really visiting.

About an hour later, Jin Jumo walked into a dessert shop and ordered a glass of green apple juice.

She sat in the shop for about half an hour before leaving.

She then stopped by a rather covert convenience pharmacy behind the dessert shop, which she found while wandering the streets.

"Young lady, what do you need?"

As soon as she entered, a plump female clerk in her forties enthusiastically approached to inquire.

Jin Jumo’s long hair covered her blushing ear roots, she lowered her head and quickly said, "Pregnancy test."

"Here." The clerk, having seen similar scenarios many times, did not show surprise or give any strange looks, which made Jin Jumo feel much more comfortable.

Jin Jumo picked up two from each of several brands of pregnancy tests available.

The clerk saw her take so many and couldn’t help but take a few more curious glances at her, good-naturedly advising, "Young lady, you don’t need so many, one or two is enough, they’re accurate."

The clerk spoke with a Shanghainese accent.

Jin Jumo pretended not to hear, "How much is it?"

The clerk didn’t know what else to say, "One hundred eighty."

Jin Jumo, for the first time generously, pulled out two hundred yuan, didn’t bother to take the change, pocketed the pregnancy tests, and quickly dashed out of the store while even the clerk couldn’t catch her.

Back at the hotel suite.

Jin Jumo rushed into the bathroom with a pile of pregnancy tests, parked herself on the toilet seat, and read the instructions.

No choice, never used them before.

Following the instructions, Jin Jumo doggedly tested with all the pregnancy tests, the results showed red... double lines.

Jin Jumo stood blankly in front of the wash basin, hands on the countertop, staring directly at the pregnancy tests lined up on the sink. Her expression was near collapse, or rather, she was trying hard to restrain herself from collapsing.

Her mind was very chaotic.

Even during her grandfather’s illness, she had never been this confused.

During her time with Rong Mochen, she had always been extremely cautious, never daring to be careless, just so when this relationship ended, there would be no connection or entanglements between her and Rong Mochen.

She believed that was also what Rong Mochen hoped for.

But now...

Jin Jumo’s expression was complex, gazing at her belly for a long time, sighing, "Little thing, are you here to disrupt my life?"

"Little Mo, are you inside?"

A deep, cold male voice suddenly emerged.

Jin Jumo’s expression dramatically changed, fearfully turning her head, seeing the bathroom door handle slowly turning, she gasped, catching sight of the neatly lined pregnancy tests on the sink, Jin Jumo’s breath caught, she nearly fainted.

"Rong, Rong Mr., it’s me. Don’t come in, I, my stomach’s not feeling well..."

Jin Jumo’s voice trembled lightly as she opened the faucet, reaching out to gather all the pregnancy tests and dumped them into the trash bin, swiftly cleaning the place briskly.
