Chapter 759: Good news, another pregnancy!

After paying her respects to Zhou Zhongdang, Chu Yiren was just about to get into her Rolls-Royce to leave the funeral home when she saw Gu Keqing, wearing a black cheongsam and holding a bouquet of white chrysanthemums, appear at Zhou Zhongdang's memorial service.

Because of the distance, she and Gu Keqing just nodded and greeted each other, then she got into a Rolls-Royce luxury car and left the funeral home accompanied by a group of bodyguards.

In the farewell hall, there was a constant stream of people coming to pay their respects, and everyone's face was filled with grief and regret.

Gu Keqing walked slowly into the mourning hall with heavy steps, and saw from afar Ma Yili and Han Zaiyin comforting Zhou Mengyao who was kneeling on the mat.

Lin Lang seemed to sense something and raised his eyes to meet Gu Keqing's gaze.

Seeing Lin Lang's red eyes and kneeling on the mat to return the greetings from his family members, Gu Keqing could not hide her heartache in her eyes.

When lovers look into each other's eyes, they understand each other's minds. An affectionate look is worth a thousand words.

Gu Keqing followed the crowd in the mourning hall and laid flowers to pay tribute to the deceased Zhou Zhongdang. Because she had very few interactions with Zhou Zhongdang, there was no sadness on her face. She just felt sorry for Lin Lang's haggard look because of the death of his master.

As soon as Han Zaiyin and Ma Yili left, Gu Keqing stood in front of Lin Lang and Zhou Mengyao.

Zhou Mengyao sensed someone approaching and mechanically bowed her head in response.

Gu Keqing comforted him softly, "Mengyao, I know nothing I say now can ease the pain in your heart. Uncle Zhou's departure is like a big hole in your world."

"But Uncle Zhou must hope that you are well. The thing he is most proud of in his life is that he has such an outstanding and beautiful daughter like you."

"You have to take good care of yourself for your uncle. Don't let him worry about himself in heaven. Please accept my condolences!" Gu Keqing's words were very appropriate.

Zhou Mengyao looked up at Gu Keqing and replied with tears in her eyes: "Thank you, cousin Keqing, for coming to see my father off for the last time. I will be strong."

Gu Keqing looked at the sad-looking Lin Lang and consoled him, "Ah Lang, please accept my condolences!"

"Yeah." Lin Lang nodded in response.

Gu Keqing felt sorry for Lin Lang kneeling all the time, and wanted him to go outside the mourning hall to get some fresh air and stretch his legs, so she made an excuse and said, "Ah Lang, come out with me for a moment, I want to talk to you alone."

After hearing this, Lin Lang glanced at Zhou Mengyao who was kneeling beside him.

Zhou Mengyao looked at Lin Lang distressedly and said, "Go ahead. You've been kneeling for long enough. It's a good time to go out and smoke a cigarette and stretch your legs."

Gu Keqing didn't expect that Zhou Mengyao had the same idea as her.

After hearing this, Lin Lang stood up from his kneeling position, but because his legs were numb, he almost fell down. Gu Keqing and Zhou Mengyao instinctively went to support Lin Lang at the same time.

When Gu Keqing saw Zhou Mengyao holding Lin Lang steady, she withdrew her hand.

"I'll be back soon." Lin Lang said to Zhou Mengyao with concern, then walked out of the farewell hall with Gu Keqing and stopped at the corner outside the crowd.

The air outside the mourning hall was much fresher, but the funeral music coming from the farewell hall still made Lin Lang feel very sad. He lit a cigarette in a depressed mood and took two deep puffs against the wind.

"What do you want to tell me alone?"

Gu Keqing replied distressedly: "Actually, I don't have anything important to tell you. I just want to share some good news with you to make you feel better."

Lin Lang's eyes turned red, and he asked with smoke coming out of his mouth: "What's the good news?"

Gu Keqing took out a pregnancy test stick from her handbag, secretly showed it to Lin Lang, then put it back into her bag, smiling sweetly with joy: "Hubby, I'm pregnant with your baby, and you're going to be a father."

After hearing this, Lin Lang finally smiled and instinctively put out the cigarette between his fingers, not wanting Gu Keqing to inhale secondhand smoke.

"Great!"

"Honey, your belly is so good. I really want to hug you now, but there are so many people around. I hope you understand." Lin Lang looked at Keqing with such tender eyes that tears could drip out of his eyes.

After hearing this, Gu Keqing smiled charmingly and said, "Hubby, it's enough to see that you are in a better mood. Life is like this, with mixed feelings. When sad things happen, happy things will appear."

Lin Lang smiled and said, "You are in the early stages of pregnancy. You should get more rest, avoid strenuous exercise and fatigue, eat less raw, cold and spicy food, and eat more nutritious foods such as protein and minerals to ensure your nutritional intake."

Gu Keqing nodded with a smile and replied gently: "Don't worry, husband, I will take good care of the baby."

Lin Lang said apologetically: "After I finish my master's funeral and take over the Zhou family's antique business, I will find time to accompany you."

Gu Keqing said sensibly: "Husband, it's okay for you to be busy. Your master just passed away, and Zhou Mengyao needs company. You should spend more time with her when you are free."

After hearing this, Lin Lang said, "Wife, you are so sensible that it makes me feel distressed. I came back from a business trip in Kyoto and brought you a gift. I was waiting to give you a surprise after you get pregnant."

"It just so happens that today I'll give you the gift I prepared in advance." Lin Lang reached into his suit pocket and took out two jewelry boxes from his personal space.

Gu Keqing took the jewelry box from Lin Lang, opened it and took a look eagerly, and said happily, "Thank you, husband, for buying a pair of gold locks for our baby in advance."

Lin Lang repeated to Gu Keqing exactly what he had said to Guan Tingmei before: "The golden lock is used to ward off evil spirits. I hope our baby will be free from disease and disaster during the pregnancy, and will be born and grow up healthy and smoothly."

Gu Keqing was very moved after hearing this and smiled sweetly: "Hubby, you must be a good father."

Lin Lang smiled at Gu Keqing tenderly and dotingly.

Then, Gu Keqing opened another jewelry box without telling anyone and saw a gold brooch wrapped with a red rope and with small pomegranate and bell pendants underneath.

"Honey, what kind of gold jewelry is this?"

Lin Lang replied: "This is a gold brooch. In some places, pregnant women wear gold brooches to symbolize 'don't be frightened'. It means that they hope you will be safe during pregnancy, without any fright, and that both mother and child will be safe."

Gu Keqing was deeply moved after hearing this, and smiled charmingly at Lin Lang, saying, "Thank you, husband. I will wear this gold brooch that symbolizes beautiful expectations on my clothes when I get home."

Lin Lang reminded: "There are too many people around, put away the jewelry box quickly. Pregnant women should not appear at funerals. When you go home, wash your hands and face with grapefruit leaf water to get rid of the bad luck."

Gu Keqing stuck out her tongue and smiled: "Okay, then I'll leave now."

Lin Lang warned: "Be careful when driving on the road. I am going back to the funeral hall."

"Okay, go ahead, husband." Gu Keqing watched Lin Lang return to the farewell hall, then walked in the opposite direction and left the parking lot.

As soon as Lin Lang reached the door of the farewell hall, he came face to face with Zhao Lanshan who was walking out of the mourning hall.

Lin Lang greeted her warmly: "Lanshan, you are here too."

Zhao Lanshan took off her black sunglasses and smiled at Lin Lang: "Yes, your master passed away unexpectedly. How could I not come to see him off for the last time for your sake!"

Lin Lang sighed and said, "Thank you for coming to see my master off for the last time, but you are pregnant now, and pregnant women should not appear at funerals."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Lanshan said arrogantly: "With a gun in hand, there is no taboo. The truth is only within the range of the bullet."

Lin Lang whispered, "Okay, I won't talk to you any more because there are so many people here. Be safe on the way back, and make sure you rest and eat well. Don't be too tired."

"Well, take care of yourself and don't be too sad. I'm leaving." Zhao Lanshan looked at Lin Lang affectionately, then put on her sunglasses again, with her full aura, and left with the wind.

Lin Lang couldn't help but look back at Zhao Lanshan's graceful back. At this moment, Zhao Lanshan walked out of the mourning hall, stopped in front of Lin Lang, and said, "Who is this girl? She's pretty!"

Hearing the voice, Lin Lang looked back and saw Cai Yinong, the beautiful president of Tangren Film and Television, who was also looking at Zhao Lanshan's receding back.

Lin Lang had no choice but to answer truthfully: "She? She is Zhao Lanshan, the new chairman of Taicheng Group."

After hearing this, Cai Yinong smiled lightly and whispered jokingly, "Oh, so she is the daughter of Taicheng Group. How? Zhao Lanshan is also your concubine?"

Lin Lang said guiltily: "Don't joke around at my master's memorial service. There are so many people here, so I won't talk to you any more. Be careful on your way back."

"Okay, I'm leaving now, please accept my condolences!"

As soon as Cai Yinong left, Lin Lang saw Marry Yang and Ma Xiaofei, two best friends, walking out of the mourning hall together.

Lin Lang took the initiative to greet them: "You are here too."

Marry Yang had a gentle smile on her face and spoke first: "We are here to see your master off for the last time. Don't be too sad. Make sure to eat well and rest."

Ma Xiaofei also echoed: "Yes, you must be exhausted from being busy with Master's funeral. You must take care of yourself."

Lin Lang looked at them, with mixed emotions in his heart, and said softly: "Thank you for coming, I feel much better."

Marry Yang looked at the haggard Lin Lang and said distressedly: "I don't know how to help you. Not causing trouble for you may be the best I can do."

As she spoke, Marry Yang subconsciously stretched out her hand to touch Lin Lang's arm, but when she was about to touch it, she realized that there were too many people around and she retracted it without leaving a trace.

Ma Xiaofei saw all these subtle movements, and hurriedly took Marry Yang's arm, looked at Lin Lang and said, "If you need any help, please don't hesitate, we will definitely help you if we can."

Lin Lang nodded and replied, "Okay, I still have a lot of things to take care of regarding my master's funeral, so I'll excuse myself for now."

"Well, then Xiaofei and I will leave first." Marry Yang looked at Lin Lang with red eyes reluctantly.

Lin Lang gently reminded: "You two besties, be careful on your way back. When you get home, send me a message to ensure your safety."

"Okay, get busy." Ma Xiaofei's eyes could not hide her love for Lin Lang.

Lin Lang had just said goodbye to Marry Yang and Ma Xiaofei when his cell phone started vibrating.

The caller ID showed it was her childhood sweetheart, Li Moli.

Lin Lang walked to a corner where there were few people, answered the phone casually, and called out gently, "Jasmine!"

"Brother Alang, is it convenient for you to answer the phone now?"
