Qiao Anhao's hand paused in the middle of entering the passcode, and she bent down to pick up the papers.
The wind was strong at the end of winter, and the road was facing north and south. Qiao Anhao only managed to pick up three or four papers before the wind blew, sending the rest flying towards Xu Jiamu.
As Qiao Anhao chased after them, she bent down to pick them up. When she chased the last two papers to a car, they finally stopped. Before she could pick them up, someone had already bent down to help her pick them up.
Qiao Anhao said "Thank you", then raised her head. The expression on her face froze for a moment, then she called out, "Brother Jiamu."
Xu Jiamu gave a slight nod. Just as he was about to pass the two papers back to Qiao Anhao, a few words caught his attention from the corner of his eyes. His brows furrowed, and he brought the papers in front of him. He read through them seriously, then tightened his grip on the papers. He raised his head, and with a little excitement and disbelief, he asked, "Qiao Qiao, you're pregnant?"
"Mmh." Qiao Anhao nodded gently.
"How long has it been?" Xu Jiamu's gaze fell on Qiao Anhao's stomach. It was still very flat, and didn't look any different from usual.
"Just a month," said Qiao Anhao.
"I..." Xu Jiamu paused for a moment, then continued to say, "Brother, does he know?"
Qiao Anhao shook her head. "He doesn't know yet, I only found out this afternoon."
"Mmh." Xu Jiamu nodded, then stared at the pregnancy report for a while. Then, he remembered that Qiao Anhao's previous child had been taken by his own mother, and lowered his head in shame. After a long while, Xu Jiamu said, "Then from now on, you have to be careful."
Qiao Anhao knew the hidden meaning behind those words.
The first child was lost because of her negligence and carelessness. With the second child, there definitely wouldn't be any mistakes.
Qiao Anhao replied with an "Mmh". "Thank you, Brother Jiamu, I'll definitely be careful."
"That's good, that's good." Xu Jiamu repeated it twice, then fell silent. He didn't know what else to say.
Qiao Anhao saw that Xu Jiamu was silent, so she followed suit. After standing there for a long while, she broke the silence. "Brother Jiamu, if there's nothing else, I'll head home first."
"Okay, okay." "It's windy and cold here, don't catch a cold. Pregnant women can't take medicine, hurry and go back." Xu Jiamu replied twice in a row.
"Yea." Qiao Anhao didn't move from her spot, her eyes staring straight at the two pieces of paper in Xu Jiamu's hand.
No one knew what Xu Jiamu was thinking, but he seemed to be absent-minded.
Qiao Anhao could only remind him again, "Brother Jiamu, my checklist."
"Oh." Xu Jiamu suddenly came back to his senses, and hurriedly passed the checkup back to her. For some reason, he seemed a little flustered.
"Brother Jiamu, are you alright?"
"It's nothing." Xu Jiamu shook his head, then said again, "Hurry up and go back."
"Goodbye then."
"Goodbye."
Qiao Anhao smiled at Xu Jiamu, turned around, and walked back to the entrance of Lu Jinnian's villa.
Xu Jiamu stood on the spot. Even after Qiao Anhao entered the house, he remained in his original position, not moving an inch.
