Chapter 438: Hoarding Thousands upon Thousands for Natural Disasters, Raising a Child, I Let It Go 26



The news coming back from the broadcast was that a group of people on the iceberg had contracted the virus, and this group had been gathered together.

Because Su Zhiruan had repeatedly mentioned the dangers of the virus, everyone at the base was highly vigilant. Frequent full-body check-ups were the norm, averaging three times a week, to prevent the sudden spread of infection that could endanger everyone at the base.

Everyone at the base was required to undergo these check-ups, and Su Zhiruan, who had been busy expanding the base, had quickly had her blood drawn upon her return before continuing with her work.

When she received her test results, Wen Qingyu, the Wen Family elders, and everyone in the lab knew about it.

As the test results fell into her hands, her office also filled up with those in the know.

"I'm pregnant?" Su Zhiruan looked at the examination results, a touch of surprise lifting her eyebrows.

Looking at her still-flat belly, she fell into thought, then turned her gaze to Wen Qingyu.

In the short three seconds of their gazes meeting, she thought back to that time a month and a half ago...

The memory of that scene came to both of them, and they simultaneously averted their eyes.

Wen Qingyu cleared his throat, a blush spreading behind his ears.

A month and a half ago—

Perhaps it had been a long time since they'd seen each other, but as their eyes met, they threw caution to the winds, and for an entire night...

From the first floor to the second, the third, and even the sofa... and in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, they had left their marks everywhere...

Even though it was night, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window—with the lights visible below and his flushed words in her ears—she needed to end things hastily.

In summary, it was probably the aftermath of that day.

"This rascal!" Although Grandmother Wen was happy, her brows furrowed with more worry than joy. She shot Wen Qingyu a stern look, then sat in front of Su Zhiruan, her wrinkled hands enveloping Su Zhiruan's, her expression anxious, "Ruanruan, my Wen Family has wronged you."

With that, she slid an obviously valuable bracelet from her wrist and put it on Su Zhiruan's hand without waiting for refusal, "If only this calamity hadn't happened. Ruanruan, this bracelet has been passed down from my ancestors; don't decline, just accept it."

Grandfather Wen cast a disapproving glance at Wen Qingyu, then snorted coldly.

Although he knew that the young man had lost his memory and had long forgotten them, the fact that he'd done such a thing still made him very angry.

The main reason Grandfather and Grandmother Wen had come was to check on Su Zhiruan.

As for the child, they didn't say much.

Su Zhiruan understood, even if they didn't speak.

Given the current temperatures, disasters, and the unpredictable emergence of viruses—where adults could be felled with a single blow—how could a frail infant possibly survive?

From the perspective of an ordinary person, the vast majority would choose to forgo an unborn fetus.

And the visit from the Wen Family elders was indeed with that mindset in mind.

But she was not an ordinary person; she was a Tasker bound to a system.

The Newbie Gift Package would protect her during pregnancy and the postpartum period, which would not affect her much personally. As for the child, there was no need to worry; the child of her and an Interdimensional Child would also have protection.

She reassured the elders, "Grandpa, Grandma, don't worry, I'll think it over."

"Fine."

After speaking, the Wen Family elders left, giving their time to Su Zhiruan and Wen Qingyu.

"I'm sorry, Ruanruan, that time it was my fault—I didn't—"

Wen Qingyu embraced Su Zhiruan from behind, his heart full of remorse.

It had been so long since they had seen each other, and on meeting, they had forgotten everything else, eyes only for each other, a spark that set off a conflagration, perhaps too intense.

Although Su Zhiruan had mentioned not taking precautions and letting nature take its course if a child were to come, Wen Qingyu often insisted on precautions nonetheless.

But unexpectedly, it had still happened.

Wen Qingyu didn't dislike children, but he was more worried that one could hinder Su Zhiruan; after all, she was the linchpin of the base, and without her presence at certain times, the rest of the people would not feel at ease.

If there had been no disaster, everything would have been wonderful: he would have walked down the aisle with the woman he loved, then had a lovely child, and the family would have been together in happiness and harmony.

But now, with the unpredictable weather and the constant threat of it happening again, raising an infant was worrisome. He feared for Su Zhiruan's health and whether the baby could survive such harsh conditions.
