She suppressed her excitement, said goodbye to He Xiuzhi and left her rented place.

Then I found a deserted place, changed my clothes, and clicked on the system upgrade.

Not long after coming out of the alley, he ran into Sikong Ling.

How small is the city she lives in? Why did they run into each other again after so many twists and turns?

Before Chen Xi could go forward to greet him, Sikong Ling had already strode over.

"Your belly is so big, why are you still running out? Didn't the doctor tell you during your last prenatal checkup that you are carrying twins and are prone to premature birth? You have to be extra careful in the last month, as labor could occur at any time." Chen Xi's belly was ridiculously big and scary. Sikong Ling felt weak in the knees just looking at it, and he wanted to slap himself a few times.

But Chen Xi acted as if nothing had happened. Her belly grew bigger day by day, but she still went to work as if nothing had happened.

She acted as if she could do the job if Chen Wei came to cover for her without paying.

What's even worse is that she often disappears after work, and he always finds her empty-handed when he goes to look for her after get off work.

He began to doubt his life. His wife was too troublesome and she was still restless even with such a big belly.

"Oh, it's okay. I will go to the hospital by myself when the baby is due. Don't worry. But are you going on a business trip tomorrow? Come back safely." Sikong Ling's job is not very stable. Sometimes he will receive tasks from his superiors and go out on missions.

Sometimes it takes half a month, sometimes it takes a few days, it's all possible.

However, Sikong Ling would tell Chen Xi before leaving.

Chen Xi knew that every time Sikong Ling went on a mission, it would be very dangerous, so every time he went on a mission, Chen Xi would give him some life-saving equipment purchased from the mall.

Before, she would buy some pills for Sikong Ling to carry on the road, and told him that if he encountered any trouble, taking one could save his life.

Those pills also provided Sikong Ling with some protection to varying degrees, allowing Sikong Ling to escape by chance every time.

Of course, what Chen Xi is most concerned about is the bulletproof vest that will appear after the third-level mall is updated. This seemingly ordinary vest is actually a bulletproof vest that Chen Xi bought at a high price. Although this piece of clothing looks the same as the ordinary vests that are very fashionable nowadays, its function is completely different.

Every time Sikong Ling went on a mission, she wanted to buy it for him, but she couldn't because she didn't have enough permission.

It’s different now. She can upgrade first, and when Sikong Ling is about to leave tomorrow, she can buy the vest for him after the system upgrade is completed.

It's an extra layer of protection.

"You seem to be in a good mood?" Even a fool could see that Chen Xi was in a good mood today. The corners of his mouth were always raised. It was hard to tell what was going on.

She looked Chen Xi up and down, the corner of her mouth raised slightly, and reached out to hold her lower back. "What are you so happy about? Are you willing to share it with your man?"

"I finally got the gift I've always wanted to give you, so I'm very happy." She was extremely happy when she thought that the bulletproof vest could save Sikong Ling's life.

"What gift?" Sikong Ling was still quite surprised. He didn't expect that Chen Xi would be so happy about giving him a gift.

"You'll know tomorrow!" Chen Xi took Sikong Ling's hand and went home together.

Pregnant women with twins are actually very tired in the late stages, but given Chen Xi's special situation, she is only slightly more tired than normal people, and there are not too many ups and downs.

When they returned home, Chen Xi was still holding the textbook and reading.

It wasn't until Sikong Ling brought a pot of chicken soup to her that Chen Xi's face wrinkled into a ball.

"Ah... chicken soup again? Can I not drink it?" It's not that Chen Xi is spoiled, it's just that in his later years, his family has been worried about his health and has been giving him supplements.

She felt like a chicken soup machine.

"Of course I have to drink it." Sikong Ling sighed, "It's a kind gesture from grandma."

"I know it's grandma's intention, but Sikong Ling, didn't you listen to what the doctor said? He told me to take less supplements in the late stages. If I take too much, the baby will be too big and I will have a difficult delivery..." Chen Xi was covered by Sikong Ling's hand before she could finish her words.

"Stop drinking it now! It won't be a difficult delivery. If you really don't want to drink it, I'll drink it for you. Just don't say those unlucky words. Don't worry, when I finish this task and come back, I will definitely take a long vacation to accompany you during the birth and confinement period." Sikong Ling had calculated the exact date of Chen Xi's delivery. If nothing unexpected happened, he should be able to come back before Chen Xi gave birth.

"Ah, bah! Okay, I'll be obedient. Don't worry, I know you will come back in a hurry, but I still have to remind you that safety comes first." After hearing Sikong Ling's words, Chen Xi happily took the chicken soup and started to feed it to Sikong Ling's mouth.

Sikong Ling smiled bitterly and shook his head, then opened his mouth and obediently drank the chicken soup that Chen Xi brought to his mouth.

Soon the bowl of chicken soup was finished.

After drinking the chicken soup, Chen Xi happily pulled Sikong Ling. "What do you think we should do about work? Anyway, the director is worried about me continuing to work because I'm so pregnant. He asked me to either take a leave or transfer the work. Do you think I should ask Chen Wei if he really wants to work? If he doesn't have the money to buy it, it won't be cheap for him if I sell it to someone else, right?" Chen Xi thought about his work and was troubled by how to deal with it.

"Let's ask Chen Wei first! See if he has the money to buy the job." If Chen Wei doesn't have the money to buy it, and then sell it to someone else, Chen Wei will have nothing to say.

"Okay!" Chen Xi nodded in agreement.

So during dinner that night, Chen Xi told Chen Wei directly about his plan to sell his job.

"Xixi, I only have three hundred yuan here... I've been saving for a long time. How about you take the three hundred first, and then I'll write you an IOU. I'll pay you back in installments when I start working. How about you sell this job to me for seven hundred according to the market price?" Chen Wei's heart jumped into his throat when he heard Chen Xi say that she wanted to sell her job.

During the months that Chen Xi was pregnant, Chen Wei took all the risks in order to be able to take over her job when Chen Xi gave birth.

He does all the dirty and tiring work. As long as he can do it, he will even do the hardest and most tiring job of carrying goods.

After realizing that his parents really no longer helped him, Chen Wei grew a lot.

Only then did he understand that in this world, it is better to rely on oneself than on others.

"Okay! Write the IOU and give it to me. We'll go through the job transfer procedures tomorrow." Chen Xi was not heartless. She had seen the changes in Chen Wei over the past few days.

But Chen Xi still couldn't forgive Chen Wei for what he had done to her in her previous life.

I sold his job just because I didn't want my parents to worry about him. It's no different from selling him off if I sell someone else.
