Chapter 276 Preparing for Childbirth 1
Chapter 276 Preparing for Childbirth 1
"Anyone can prepare, as long as they prepare in advance, that's the right thing to do."
"I hope to hear the news of the arrival of your precious baby soon."
"Thank you for your kind words, madam. I will definitely invite you to have a drink at the baby's 100-day celebration."
They talked for a while, and then the lady who had made the phone call returned.
"Ms. Shen, I'm booking a deluxe suite now, and I'll be checking in tomorrow."
"no problem."
Finally, the Governor's wife also said, "I would like to book a luxury suite for July."
"That's fine too."
In the afternoon, Shen Wancheng saw all the guests off.
Back at the postpartum care center to settle accounts.
Today I received four orders for standard suites and three orders for deluxe suites, but no in-home orders.
Shen Wancheng was fairly satisfied with the results, considering that today was only her first day of business, and most people were still taking a wait-and-see approach, regardless of whether they were interested or not.
Once this first batch of orders is completed, as time goes on and trust and reputation grow, business will definitely improve.
After briefly glancing at the order information, Shen Wancheng handed it back to Yu Qingyu, who was standing guard beside her.
As mentioned before, Shen Wancheng planned to arrange for Yu Qingyu, who has a more composed personality, to work as a manager at the postpartum care center.
He arranged for Su Nanxue to be his personal assistant.
Although they were all young, Shen Wancheng felt that young people at this time were not as impetuous as the recent graduates in later generations with advanced internet.
Although Su Nanxue and Yu Qingyu have different personalities, they are both people who can calm down and learn things, and they are worth nurturing.
As someone close to her, Shen Wancheng still prefers someone she has trained from scratch.
Su Nanxue and Yu Qingyu both fit Shen Wancheng's requirements quite well.
Shen Wancheng will be preparing for childbirth and postpartum care for the next two or three months, so during this time she arranged for Su Nanxue to study under Cheng Ming, Gu Jinxing's assistant.
Wen Nan approached Shen Wancheng and spoke to her after she finished her work.
"Wancheng, you just said you're preparing for childbirth. Is there anything I can do for you?"
"I'm just starting out. If you need anything, I'll definitely let you know. I won't hesitate to ask."
"Okay, okay, that's what I meant. Don't be so polite with me."
Actually, Shen Wancheng hadn't started preparing yet. She thought that the postpartum care center had everything she needed, so she didn't have to prepare too much, which delayed her.
However, it was only today that she remembered how busy she had been with the opening of the postpartum care center.
She put aside her plans for childbirth, only thinking about the maternity and baby supplies available at the postpartum care center, but she hadn't prepared anything for the baby, like clothes, shoes, or hats.
Shen Wancheng said to Wen Nan with a smile.
"I'm planning to go to a maternity and baby store tomorrow, Mom, do you want to come along?"
“Great! I was thinking of buying clothes for the babies anyway.”
After agreeing on a time with Wen Nan, Shen Wancheng prepared to leave the club and go home.
Since Shen Wancheng was already with Wen Nan today, she simply suggested going back to the mansion for dinner.
After she gives birth, she won't return to the mansion for a month or two.
Wen Nan was naturally delighted and immediately called the mansion to ask for a lavish dinner, especially roasted pigeon. This was Shen Wancheng's favorite dish in her late pregnancy.
Most importantly, the kitchen switched to black rice because Shen Wancheng needed to control her blood sugar during the later stages of her pregnancy.
Shen Wancheng doesn't often eat at the Gu Mansion, but Wen Nan always remembers it whenever Shen Wancheng or Gu Jinxing mentions it unintentionally.
While Wen Nan was on the phone, Shen Wancheng also made a call to Gu Jinxing.
Although Shen Wancheng had gotten used to eating at the Gu Mansion, she was never quite at ease if Gu Jinxing wasn't there.
The two said they could make a call immediately.
This feeling made Shen Wancheng sigh, "Mobile phones are so convenient!"
It's just too heavy, so heavy that Shen Wancheng doesn't even call the big brother a cell phone anymore.
Shen Wancheng always kept her mobile phone in her bag and let Ke La carry it.
Shen Yao had originally intended to stay with Shen Wancheng all day, but seeing Wen Nan talking to Shen Wancheng, she made an excuse to leave first after the guests left.
Shen Yao is quite traditional in this regard, believing that Shen Wancheng, as a daughter-in-law, should maintain a good relationship with her mother-in-law.
At this point, she shouldn't have bothered her or ruined Shen Wancheng's plans.
It was only after Shen Yao left that Shen Wancheng belatedly realized that Shen Yao had deliberately made up an excuse to leave first.
Shen Wancheng felt an indescribable sense of emotion.
Although Shen Wancheng didn't think that anyone from the Gu family was as important as Shen Yao, she understood that Shen Yao wanted her to get along well with her mother-in-law.
In ancient times, it was a woman's duty to be filial and serve her parents-in-law.
No matter how open Shen Yao is to new things, these ideas that have been ingrained in her mind since childhood are difficult to change in a short time.
Thinking about this, Shen Wancheng felt it was better to let Shen Yao get married later, so that Shen Yao's thinking would become more modern and she wouldn't be bullied by her husband's family.

After having dinner at the Gu Mansion, Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing returned to their own residences as before.
At 8 p.m., Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing arrived home.
Shen Wancheng saw a huge cardboard box in the living room, just like the express delivery boxes of later generations.
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Jinxing and asked, "What is this? A gift?"
Gu Jinxing was taken aback for a moment. "You reminded me. I didn't give you enough gifts. I'll make sure to do better next time. But this isn't a gift."
"what is that?"
"You'll see when I open it."
"Okay, then open it now."
Under Shen Wancheng's gaze, Gu Jinxing deftly opened the cardboard box.
When Shen Wancheng saw what was in the cardboard box, she was instantly stunned.
It's diapers!
All of them were packaged in English.
Shen Wancheng walked over, casually picked up a bag of diapers, and opened the packaging to check.
These diapers are much better than the ones Shen Wancheng saw in Hong Kong Island and used in postpartum care centers.
The diaper surface is white, soft, and very thin, feeling as light as a cloud to the touch. The first impression is that it is no less than those high-end diapers of later generations.
Shen Wancheng glanced at the English on the packaging and asked Gu Jinxing.
"Did you have it specially shipped from the United States?"
Gu Jinxing nodded.
Shen Wancheng couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Although this wasn't a gift from Gu Jinxing, Shen Wancheng was already very happy that the man was willing to take the initiative to participate in the preparations for childbirth.
In the months since their marriage, Gu Jinxing has consistently demonstrated through his actions that he will not leave the responsibility of raising the child solely to Shen Wancheng, the child's mother.
Shen Wancheng never taught Gu Jinxing any of these things; Gu Jinxing did them all on his own initiative.
This makes Gu Jinxing's actions all the more remarkable.
