Chapter 9

After breakfast, Anna was out with Andrew, who had a crossbody bag, filled with snacks, tissues, sunscreen and other items.

Mrs. Smith wanted to say something but stopped herself when Andrew glanced at her lightly. She immediately kept silent, though she sighed inwardly, thinking that her young master was going to be taken advantage of again.

Today, Andrew surprised Anna by driving a red sports car.

Seeing the time, the message was sent by Marie in the middle of last night, when Anna's phone was left behind in her parent’s house , so she hadn't seen it.

Marie sent messages asking Anna why she hadn't returned to work and expressed concern about why Anna hadn't been answering calls or replying to messages. She also shared some fun and interesting videos with Anna. Additionally, Marie sent her a short video of her recent visit to an amusement park, showing her enjoying some rides.

Even if she wasn't pregnant, she wouldn't dare to engage in such thrilling activities, let alone

    Chapter 1: Am I Pregnant?""Auntie, please. I want to buy a test for pregnancy," Anna mumbled very quiet, as if saying this in a undertone, not to attract much attention, but she didn't manage to do this though. The attendants at the store were looking questioningly at her. She really was a picture of innocence and beauty, especially her bright, clear eyes that sparkled like springs of pure water.Anna's face flushed a brilliant red with embarrassment, her hands gripping on to her pants so tightly, shy to look someone in the eyes."Beg pardon?" the clerk asked quickly, her body snapping to attention."Oh, you mean this?" The clerk reached around behind the counter and pulled out a box of pregnancy tests, handing it to Anna before looking back down at her computer.Anna glanced at it, making sure it was what she needed, and asked softly, "How much is it?""5 dollars."She fumbled in her pocket, got a 5 dollars note on the counter and then turned away.

Anna, working on an empty stomach, kept at it with her parents until a little past eleven.Wendy called out, "Alright, you go deliver the orders with the tricycle. Your dad and I can handle the rest."With her orders received, Anna untied her apron, washed her hands, and couldn't help but glance down at her stomach again. It was still flat, showing no sign of her pregnancy, but the overwhelming hunger pangs reminded her that the baby inside was hungry too.While her dad was loading chicken buckets onto the cart, she sneaked off to a nearby bun shop and wolfed down two meat buns right there. She dared not bring any home after being scolded by her mom last time for being wasteful and indulgent with money.After swallowing the last bite of her bun, Anna returned to their shop. Yan Jianghe gave her a look, probably catching the scent of the buns on her, but said nothing

"How did it go?" he asked, his eyes showing a mix of nervousness and anticipation.The dean, seeing the big boss's eager look, couldn't help but smile. He handed the medical report to Andrew. "I conducted two tests to confirm the pregnancy. It's still early, so we didn't perform an ultrasound. To determine the exact gestational age, Ms. Yan will need to calculate it herself."Yan Anna, with her head lowered, did a quick mental calculation. The baby must be less than a month old, considering it was about a week after her period that she and "the uncle" had... that encounter.Andrew studied the report intensely several times. Although he didn't fully understand it, the doctor's note confirmed the pregnancy. He stared at Yan Anna for a long time, his gaze eventually dropping to her stomach. His child was in there?

I'll be going now."Andrew's expression shifted subtly as he reached out to stop her. "Wait, leave your contact information."Anna pursed her lips, entered her phone number into Andrew's phone, and handed it back to him. "Then... I'm off."Andrew followed her a few steps, concerned. "Take care of yourself. Don't lift heavy things anymore. Call me if you need anything."Anna smiled at him and nodded.

  • The billionaire’ s escaped wife   Trip to supermaket

    Chapter 8"Didn't say anything," Andrew reassured Anna with a slight twitch of his lips, noticing her self-consciousness. Their trip to the supermarket was an unusual outing for Anna, who had been confined to the roles and routines within her family home, always the one left behind to tend to household chores while her siblings accompanied their parents on errands.As they navigated the crowded supermarket, Andrew's protective gesture of drawing Anna close amidst the throngs of shoppers was a stark contrast to her usual invisibility within her own family dynamic. The act of purchasing personal items, such as toothpaste, toothbrush, and towels, symbolized a fresh start for Anna, far removed from her past life where her needs and wants were often overlooked.Andrew's insistence on not buying certain items like cups, and his offer to procure her preferred skincare products, underscored his attentiveness to her comfort and well-being—a kindness Anna was unaccustomed to receiving.

If she sweats, adjust the air conditioner to a cooler setting."The housekeeper emerged, gently closing the bedroom door behind her. "She hasn't sweated, but I think she might be hungry; I heard her stomach rumbling."Andrew paused, and the housekeeper suggested with a smile, "Shall I prepare something for the young lady to eat?""No, your work here is done," he replied.After gathering her belongings and slipping her shoe covers into her bag, the housekeeper departed.Andrew softly turned the handle of the bedroom door, entering. The curtains were drawn, dimming the room's light. The girl was still deeply asleep. Standing by the bed, he observed her peaceful sleeping face. She was a delicate girl, with soft features and attractive lips, reminiscent of a juicy peach, their sweet scent almost tangible in his imagination.Andrew didn't expose Anna's
