A Girl and Her Best Friends Time Travel to Ancient Times

After dinner, everyone returned to Qinglin Courtyard.

After listening to Yu Yifan's description, they finally had a general understanding of the matters between Bai Yunhan and Miss Chu.

It was said that it was Miss Chu who took the initiative to pursue Bai Yunhan.

Although Miss Chu was a young lady with a gentle personality, she had a good business sense and often helped her father do business. That was how she got to know Bai Yunhan. She was attracted to Bai Yunhan and took the opportunity of their business partnership to get closer to him and create more opportunities to be with him. She even gave Bai Yunhan advice in business. Ever since Bai Yunhan met Miss Chu, the Bai family's business had grown better and better.

Bai Yunhan had also developed feelings for her during their time together.

When Miss Chu sensed the change in Bai Yunhan's attitude towards her, she tactfully confessed her feelings to him.

However, she did not press Bai Yunhan for an immediate response. She just said he could get to know her better before making a decision.

The two of them were a perfect match.

"It seems this Miss Chu is quite a nice young lady. She advances and retreats in good measure and conducts herself with elegance," Xia Miaomiao concluded.

"Since he has found his own happiness, we are glad for him," Sang Li said.

"Yes, he has a kind heart and deserves a good ending," Xiao Han added.

After listening to their account of what had happened when Bai Yunhan first arrived at the Bai residence, Xiao Zimo also learned that Bai Yunhan was actually Bai Yichen's cousin.

Although they were from the same Bai family, their fates were completely different.

Xiao Zimo could not help but feel grief for Bai Yichen. Bai Yichen could have lived as the outstanding and accomplished eldest young master of the Bai family, well provided for.

Yet now he was forced to become a murder weapon, destined to live forever in the shadows unseen.

Even his relationship with his beloved did not end well.

How cruel fate can be.

......

Bai Yunhan and Miss Chu's wedding date was set to be a month later. Fang Qing was also sent to deliver the invitations.

When Fang Qing came to deliver the invitations, he happened to see Xiao Han and Xiao Zimo sitting in the yard discussing medicinal herbs from a medical book.

"I really didn't expect there would be so many herbs I have never seen before!" Though she knew some basics about traditional Chinese medicine, it was not her area of expertise.

"This medical book was left to me by my father. I added some supplementary notes to it later. If you are interested, I'll give it to you," Xiao Zimo said gently.

"Really? You would easily give me something that contains two generations of heart and soul?" Xiao Han asked excitedly.

Xiao Zimo smiled. "You are my wife, what is mine is yours. And anyway, I've already memorized the contents."

"Then I'll gladly accept!" Xiao Han was about to put away the book.

But Xiao Zimo grabbed her wrist. "My wife, you can have the medical book, but... you need to call me 'husband'."

"......"

Previously she had felt that his endearment was embarrassing. But recently Xiao Zimo had taken to calling her "my wife", so she got used to it. However, she had never called him "husband".

But, calling him that once in exchange for a rare medical book was quite a profitable trade for her!

"Ahem..." Xiao Han deliberately coughed. "Well if you insist, it's just an address after all."

Although she said that, she still couldn't get it out for a while.

Xiao Zimo looked at her expectantly. Not wanting to disappoint him, Xiao Han finally mustered up the courage.

"Hus...husband!" As soon as the word left her mouth, her whole face turned red!

The corner of Xiao Zimo's mouth rose slightly. "Yes, my wife," he responded.

"......"

Holding the medical book, Xiao Han fled. She had just taken a few steps when she saw Fang Qing standing at the entrance of the yard.

"Fang Qing? What brings you here?" Xiao Han walked over.

"Uh... I'm here to deliver the wedding invitation on behalf of the eldest young master!" Fang Qing said somewhat flusteredly as he brought out the invitation.

Xiao Han took the invitation. "Bai Yunhan is getting married?"

"Yes, all young ladies are welcome to attend the celebration at the Bai residence if you have time," Fang Qing replied.

"Sure, we'll definitely be there!" Xiao Han put away the invitation and raised an eyebrow at Fang Qing. "Master Fang, now that your eldest young master is getting married, when will you?"

Fang Qing was taken aback and said somewhat awkwardly, "It's still early for me... Miss Xiao, is that gentleman in white your husband? When did you get married?"

Fang Qing looked over at Xiao Zimo, who was also watching him.

"Oh it's a long story, but he is indeed my husband. So Master Fang, you'd better hurry up!" Xiao Han patted him on the shoulder. "I still have things to do, I won't see you off. Have a safe trip!"

Xiao Han left with the invitation in hand. Xiao Zimo wheeled over in front of Fang Qing and stopped there, giving him a faint smile before wheeling away again.

Fang Qing: "......"

Though the other had not even said a word, why did Fang Qing have the vague feeling that this gentleman in white harbored some hostility towards him?

......

A month passed quickly as they counted down day by day with bated breath.

They watched helplessly as the phone battery drained from 15% to 5%.

But there was still no sign of Wu Ying.

There were only half a month left now. The countdown had truly begun.

"It has been so long and Wu Ying still hasn't returned. I'm so worried about him! I want to go look for him!"

These days had been sheer torture for Su Moyu, especially as they approached the end. She was increasingly restless and anxious.

"Moyu, there is only half a month left. If you go out now, you may miss Wu Ying," Sang Li said.

"That's right, wait a little longer. He's probably on his way back already," Xia Miaomiao added.

"But I'm so worried I can't help it! Especially in recent days, my heart has been jumping up and down!" Su Moyu said anxiously.

"Ay, not having a phone here is so inconvenient! It would be great if we could just call and ask about the situation like back home!" Xiao Han lamented.

"Why not let Hua Wuyou go and gather some news? His lightness skill is quite good," Xia Miaomiao suggested.

Su Moyu shook her head. "Forget it, I don't want to get them involved too. Besides, the locations of the secret sects are extremely covert. No one knows exactly where they are. Last time when I went to look, I was blindfolded and taken there by force. Security is extremely tight inside too."

Now, they could only wait.

Sang Li rubbed her temples. She felt a little sleepy and her spirits had not been good recently.

"Sister Li, what's wrong with you?" Xia Miaomiao noticed that she did not look well.

"It's nothing. I just feel a bit drowsy and seem to doze off more lately," Sang Li replied.

Xiao Han immediately stood up. "Sister Li, you're not pregnant are you?"

Sang Li froze as she looked towards Xiao Han. "What...did you say?"

Ever since Gu Zhi had found out, she had not slept with him for over a month. How could she be pregnant?

She thought hard about it. It seemed that her period had indeed been late for a long time, but previously it was irregular anyway so she did not think much about it and had not considered pregnancy at all.

"Let me check your pulse!" Xiao Han immediately went over to check Sang Li's pulse. Xia Miaomiao and Su Moyu also crowded around anxiously.

After a long while, Xiao Han finally confirmed repeatedly before saying gravely, "Sister Li, you really are pregnant! But judging from your pulse alone I can't say for sure how far along you are, probably over a month, close to two months."

Sang Li froze as she looked towards Xiao Han in disbelief. "Little Han, are you absolutely certain? I'm really pregnant?"

"Absolutely! I estimate it probably happened before we came to Lianhua Village. I didn't notice anything from checking your pulse last time in the village, likely because it was too early then."

Sang Li thought about it. She did sleep with Gu Zhi the night before they left for Lianhua Village.

A thought suddenly occurred to her and she quickly grabbed Xiao Han, asking anxiously, "Little Han, I drank quite a lot at your wedding. Will that affect the child?"

"Don't worry, at that time the embryo hadn't even formed yet. If there was any impact, you wouldn't have been able to conceive at all. Now that you're pregnant, there won't be any issues. How many people know they're pregnant right at the beginning? No one avoids certain foods," Xiao Han reassured: "When you get back, just get regular checkups."

Sang Li let out a sigh of relief, unconsciously touching her lower abdomen, unable to contain her joy, "It seems...this child is destined to come."

"How magical!" Xia Miaomiao also reached out to touch Sang Li's belly, "Sister Sang Li is actually really having a baby!"

"Sister Sang Li, do you plan on telling Gu Zhi?" Su Mo asked.

Sang Li paused for a moment, shaking her head and looking at them, "You definitely have to keep it secret, you can't tell anyone."

"Okay." The few people nodded.

Since Gu Zhi didn't want her to get pregnant, then she'll pretend she didn't. That way, after she leaves, his pain and longing will be lessened.
