Chapter 367 Relying on Face

If the unexpected pregnancy was mostly a surprise for Huo Huaisui, then being pregnant with twins was truly a delightful surprise.

Having two children is something that most people have to endure twice to achieve, but she only had to suffer once.

She truly lives up to her reputation as a lucky charm.

Xie Qinglan calmly paid the outstanding fees, took Huo Huaisui to complete the subsequent examinations, and then asked the doctor about some precautions.

After leaving the consultation room, Huo Huaisui looked at Xie Qinglan's expression and asked, "Why do you look so unhappy?"

Xie Qinglan said, "I'm happy."

Huo Huaisui had an expression that said, "Do you think I'm blind?"

Xie Qinglan said, "The doctor said that twin pregnancies are high-risk."

Huo Huai Sui waved his hand dismissively, "Even something as ordinary as drinking water can cause choking. Don't worry, the doctor said that as long as you have your prenatal checkups on time, everything will be fine."

Seeing that she was happy, Xie Qinglan didn't say anything more.

It wouldn't be good to scare her by saying too much.

Back in the car, Xie Qinglan put the snacks she had prepared into Huo Huaisui's arms, then took out her phone and began to share the good news with relatives and friends.

The biggest surprise was for Ji Xueru.

Ji Xueru has been through it all and knows how painful pregnancy and childbirth are. She herself only had one child, so she didn't intend for her daughter-in-law to have more and suffer that pain.

In short, he wants to have as many children as he wants, and his daughter-in-law can decide for herself; he will never interfere.

Although the Xie family has a history of twins, Ji Xueru was overjoyed to learn that her daughter-in-law was so capable of getting pregnant with twins at once. She wished she could drop everything and rush to her daughter-in-law's side to take care of her personally.

Now all she can do is tell her son: "Pregnancy is not easy. One pregnancy is tiring enough, let alone two. You're still in the early stages now, but it will be even more painful as the pregnancy progresses. Giving birth is like walking through the gates of hell. The woman who gives birth to your child is risking her life for you. Don't take it for granted. You should be grateful."

Xie Qinglan was both amused and exasperated. "Okay, Mom."

I don't know what he did wrong that caused his mother to misunderstand him. She's always worried that he'll treat his daughter-in-law badly.

Huo Huai Sui munched on a snack, blinking as he looked at Xie Qing Lan.

On the other end of the phone, Ji Xueru was still nagging and giving instructions.

Xie Qinglan didn't interrupt and listened patiently.

Ji Xueru only hung up the phone when she had nothing more to say, and then moved on to the next person to share her good news.

The next one, naturally, is his dear uncle.

Xie Qinglan's order of announcing good news was not based on the closeness of their relationship, but rather on who usually gave her more money, which can be described as very pragmatic.

As soon as the call connected, Ji Xuesong's voice came through the receiver: "What's up? Out of money again?"

"..." Xie Qinglan felt that her uncle had a huge misunderstanding about her. "Am I that kind of person?"

Ji Xuesong said without any mercy, "That's you."

Xie Qinglan thought about it and decided that it was fine, it wouldn't hurt her.

He steered the conversation back to the main point: "I just wanted to give you some good news today."

"What good news?" Ji Xuesong asked. "Your wife gave birth? That can't be right, she's only been a few months."

Xie Qinglan ignored her uncle's nonsense and smiled, "No, I didn't give birth. But I'm pregnant with twins."

Ji Xuesong: "?"

Xie Qinglan was in a hurry to notify the next lucky listener, and hung up the phone hastily before giving his uncle time to process the news.

Huo Huaisui ate for almost the same amount of time as Xie Qinglan made the phone call.

Listening to Xie Qinglan's announcements one by one, she initially felt a little embarrassed, but now she was just numb.

She witnessed Xie Qinglan's shamelessness once again.

She is very worried that if Xie Qinglan continues like this, he might be beaten to death by his relatives.

After Xie Qinglan hung up the phone again, Huo Huaisui couldn't help but call out, "Xie Qinglan."

"Hmm?" Xie Qinglan was looking down at her phone, scrolling through her contacts to find the next "lucky one" when she heard Huo Huaisui's shout. She took a moment to reach into the back seat, grabbed a bottle of water, and shoved it into Huo Huaisui's arms.

"..." Huo Huai Sui was speechless for a moment, then asked from the bottom of his heart, "How did you grow up healthy?"

Xie Qinglan thought for a moment, "Rely on looks?"

Huo Huaisui hoped he would realize his mistake, "He's clearly relying on shamelessness."

Xie Qinglan readily accepted his wife's assessment, then suddenly remembered something and leaned closer to her, saying, "It's been three months."

Huo Huai Sui met his gaze with a puzzled look.

Xie Qinglan said in a low voice, "The doctor said that appropriate sexual activity is beneficial to physical and mental health."

"...When did the doctor say that?" She had been with him the whole time and hadn't heard it.

Xie Qinglan: "That's what Dr. Xie said."

"..."

Huo Huaisui was just about to fire this unwanted barefoot doctor when a furious shout suddenly came from the receiver—

"Xie Qinglan, are you a beast or a monster?!"

Xie Qinglan: "..."

Huo Huaisui: "..."

The call was answered at some point.

It's unknown how many of Xie Qinglan's outrageous words were heard.

Huo Huai Sui thought to herself that if there were a hole in front of her, she would crawl into it right now.

Xie Qinglan calmly returned to her seat and greeted the person on the other end of the phone with composure, "Good morning, brother."

Huo Huai'an: "Who's your brother? I don't have a beastly brother like you."

Xie Qinglan corrected: "He's my brother-in-law."

Huo Huai'an: "I don't have a brother-in-law like you!"

Xie Qinglan moved the phone away and said quickly, "When people get angry, the pressure on the blood vessels in the brain increases, which can easily cause brain aging. In severe cases, it can even lead to rupture of blood vessels in the brain and cause cerebral hemorrhage... Brother, although you are still young, you can't ignore your health. After all, you haven't found a wife yet, so you have to take it easy."

Huo Huaisui: "..."

Huo Huai'an shouted "Get lost!" in a loud voice and hung up the phone.

Xie Qinglan clicked her tongue, "I haven't finished yet. Why is your brother so sensitive?"

Huo Huai Sui thought to himself, "If you finish speaking, you'll be dead."

Recalling her brother's last words, "Get out," Huo Huai Sui suddenly felt a little sorry for him.

She married the wrong person, which caused her brother to suffer.

Huo Huai Sui sighed, took out his phone, and sent a red envelope to his older brother.

[Sui Sui: Buy a cup of herbal tea to cool down]

Huo Huai'an was even angrier.

Who do you think you are? Do you think he's short of five dollars?
