Qi Taiguo's return brings Cheng Su relief as her due date nears, prompting her to walk frequently with Mother Cheng for a smoother delivery despite his concerns. On university holiday, she manages the rapidly expanding Joy Soon Loy Jam factory amid growing business. Newspapers seek an interview to highlight entrepreneurial success, and after debate, Cheng Su agrees to represent the company due to Ning Ge's potential future official role.

Having agreed to the newspaper interview, it was only natural that someone would come to go over the topics. The content and draft required preparation beforehand. Cheng Su passed the task of handling arrangements to Xiao Pinshan. She only had to review the draft, understand the questions, and prepare her replies for the occasion.

The interview specifics swiftly made their way to Cheng Su, and she readied her answers by studying and committing them to memory.

Qi Taiguo teased her, "Are you sure this will work? It’s going in the newspaper; don’t forget your lines at the crucial moment."

"It’s exactly because it’s for the newspaper. Even if I forget, I can still refer to the draft while answering. If it were for television, having to constantly check the script would indeed be quite embarrassing!" Cheng Su replied with a laugh.

Of course, certain people prepare scripts for TV shows too, but since it’s recorded, memorizing lines is far preferable to glancing at the script repeatedly.

"Make sure you rest and don’t overwork yourself," Qi Taiguo said as he gently touched her large belly, "otherwise the baby might come early."

Cheng Su glanced down at her belly and remarked, "My mom said that the baby’s position has dropped quite a bit, so it might be possible for an early delivery. You should be prepared."

Her due date fell in mid-July, yet the baby could arrive sooner or later. With the position now dropped—also called engaging—it appeared birth might happen a little early, even if not exactly on schedule.

"It’s even more important to be careful then. After the interview, avoid going out too much, just walk around the courtyard a few times," Qi Taiguo suggested.

Cheng Su nodded, "That’s what I was thinking too. Fortunately, every industry has enough staff now, so even if I have the baby, I won’t have to worry about whether things are being managed."

"Yes, this baby couldn’t have come at a better time, just perfect!" Qi Taiguo said with a smile.

Cheng Su wrinkled her nose, "What are you talking about? This baby deliberately makes things difficult for me, not too early, not too late, just right now. Look at this weather, just sitting here I’m already sweating all over, and I’m worried about how I’ll cope during confinement!"

She felt utterly helpless facing confinement amid the year’s sweltering heat. Merely picturing it brought on a headache, not to mention the no-hair-washing or bathing rules during that period...

Cheng Su shivered.

"Oh, look, your mom’s already disapproving," Qi Taiguo teased the baby in her belly, "You’ll have to be extra filial to your mom in the future so she doesn’t bring this up with you all the time."

"Enough, stop pretending. I know you can’t bear me talking bad about your baby!" Cheng Su rolled her eyes at him and asked, "Did you call home today? How’s your mom’s foot?"

"She said it’s stronger than before, but she still can’t walk and needs to recuperate," Qi Taiguo nodded, "I’m thinking she definitely won’t be able to help with your confinement; we’ll have to rely on your mom."

Cheng Su had considered this as well, so she responded, "It takes a hundred days to heal tendons and bones. Even if she can walk, she should be careful. You should advise her not to rush things. My mom will take good care, and her grandson won’t run away. When the time is right, we’ll bring the baby to visit her just the same!"

"Alright," Qi Taiguo kissed her, "Thank you, my wife."

Cheng Su felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and snorted softly, "Sweet talker!"

Qi Taiguo gently tucked a loose strand of her hair behind her ear, gazed at her pregnancy-rounded face, and brimmed with utter contentment.
