Hi there. Would you please proofread the following text? Any help would be appreciated.
*************************************************************************
Gan was in his study writing in a book that was almost out of blank pages when Jingying walked in. “Are you eventually going to let me read your journal, you’ve been writing it for years, but you’ve never let me read even one page”.
Gan swirled the tip of his pen in a small ceramic pot of water then set it down on the desk. “You can read it anytime you should know that”.
Jingying said. “I don’t let you read my diary; I thought the same rule applied”.
Gan picked up the journal, blew on the words he’d just written to make sure that they were dry and handed her the journal. “Well, my journal is just about our adventures since leaving the city, not my private personnel feelings about life etc. Take a look and let me know what you think, I’ll even leave you some space for comments if you want”.
Jingying took the book, very reverently, Gan thought, and then left to read it in her own study.
Weifeng had planned to ease into telling Laohu that she thought she was pregnant, but he had pre-empted her with his direct question. “Yes, at least I think I am, my menses are late, and I'm experiencing nausea, throwing up too”.
For a moment, Laohu wanted to run as fast as he could and get his mother, but he calmed himself and said diplomatically. “I’ll go and get my aunt, she’s been a midwife for many years. Then I'll get our moms.
Weifeng nodded. “OK. But after you send your mother, when you get mine, please tell her I'm OK”.
