Recently, the fact that she was having an ambiguous relationship with a magnate had been leaked, however she had denied this outrightly .
In any case…
They had received a tip that she would be attending an event with the magnate later today .
Qiao Lian was very lucky to manage catching the rumored couple on camera . The slightly blurred image of their side profiles was good enough to prove their identities .
She returned to the news agency on the same day to file the story before she finally left work .
Shen Liangchuan was busy and wasn’t able to pick her up today .

She hailed a cab instead .
As she arrive at the main door, the smell of dinner being cooked drifted out and the laughter of Xia Yehua and Song Yuanxi could be heard .
Song Yuanxi and Xia Yehua shared a very close relationship and got along like mother and daughter . Xia Yehua was most protective over the frail-looking Song Yuanxi .
Xia Yehua’s eyes lit up as she saw Qiao Lian entering the house .
“Xiao Qiao, you’re back? Come have dinner, I’ve made you black chicken soup . This is especially good for the womb, you have to drink more . You need to eat well, drink well and not get too stressed at work, since you and Liangchuan are planning for a baby . ”
Qiao Lian was grinning as she walked across the living room, but she suddenly stopped when Xia Yehua mentioned planning for a baby . Suddenly, she was worried .

The results of her recent medical examination came to her mind once again .
She wouldn’t be able to get pregnant in the short term, as she needed to purge the toxins from her body before she was physically fit to conceive .
At least not for the next six months .
She looked at Xia Yehua . “Mum, you…”
Xia Yehua walked over to her, smiling, and held her hand . “Come sit and have some soup before dinner . ”
Seeing her enthusiasm, Qiao Lian nodded in agreement .

Shen Liangchuan was home before Qiao Lian finished the soup . On seeing him, Xia Yehua served him a large bowl of tonic soup, saying, “You seem to have shed quite a few pounds again . What are you so busy with? Surely work’s not more important than your health . You need to build up your health . No smoking and drinking while preparing for pregnancy, do you understand? ”
Shen Liangchuan froze in the middle of removing his jacket and glanced at Qiao Lian, who was on the couch .
He could sense her gloominess and discomfort, even though she was just sitting quietly and smiling along .
He was sure it had something to do with the birth control pills .
He cleared his throat . “Mum, let’s not discuss this now . We are still young, there’s no hurry for children . ”
Xia Yehua sneered, “What are you talking about? You’re almost 26! There’s a time for everything and now is the perfect time for you two to have a baby . This way it will be easier for Xiao Qiao to recover from the pregnancy too . ”
She went on, “Thanks to Yuanxi, who reminded me today . You two have been married for two months, so… any good news?”
She turned and looked at Qiao Lian . “Your period…?”
Qiao Lian lowered her head . “Regular as usual . My period this month should come in a day or two . ”
Xia Yehua’s eyes sparkled with hope . “Which means there’s a chance this month, yes?”
Qiao Lian threw a glance at Shen Liangchuan . “I don’t think it will happen that soon . ”
“How is that so? You two look perfectly healthy, there shouldn’t be a problem . ” Xia Yehua was about to continue when Song Yuanxi took a step forward and grabbed her shoulder .
