Because her pregnancy now made it unsuitable for her to take long flights, Qin Zhi'ai delayed her trip abroad.
Naturally, her mother questioned her return. Afraid to inform her about her premarital pregnancy, Qin Zhi'ai muddled her way through a random excuse about her school abruptly changing arrangements.
During her next few days in Hangzhou, she mainly ate and slept. Life was peaceful despite her worry and concern about Gu Yusheng, who was more than a thousand miles away from her in Beijing.
From time to time, she was distracted and restless, but that did not affect her physical condition. Five days after she had returned to Hangzhou, the doctor at her pregnancy checkup indicated that her fetus was stable and developing properly.
That night, she received a message from Xiaowang, notifying her that "Master Gu regained consciousness, so do not worry."
