Chapter 152 Is it not the same person you're carrying?!

"Not one..."

Gu Beichen's blood almost froze.

The doctor finally caught his breath and shouted with all his might.

"There are two! They're twins!"

The entire examination room was eerily quiet.

Gu Beichen and Su Yue were both stunned, their minds blank, staring blankly at the doctor, completely unable to react.

twin?

Gu Beichen blinked, his mouth slightly open, and repeated, "Two?"

The doctor nodded emphatically: "Yes! Two! Both have fetal heartbeats! They're both fine!"

The next second, Gu Beichen's perpetually cold and aloof face was instantly overwhelmed by a silly, ecstatic joy.

He grinned, looking like a 300-pound child, and tried to pick up Su Yue from the hospital bed.

"Wife! Did you hear that?! Two! We have two children now!"

"Hey! Commander Gu! Put it down quickly!"

"The patient's pregnancy is unstable; you absolutely must not move her!"

The doctors and nurses rushed over and quickly restrained him.

Gu Beichen then realized what was happening and carefully placed Su Yue down, but he couldn't suppress his joy.

He paced back and forth by the hospital bed, rubbing his hands and touching the back of his head, a smile never fading from his lips.

Just then, hurried footsteps came from the ward door, and Zhong Xiaotian and Xu Caixia walked in.

"Su Yue, we heard you were hospitalized, so we came to see you... ugh..."

Before Xu Caixia could finish speaking, she covered her mouth and began to gag.

Zhong Xiaotian, sweating profusely, asked anxiously, "You've been like this for the past few days, have you eaten something bad?"

Xu Caixia waved her hand, her face a little pale: "It's nothing, it's an old problem. My periods have always been irregular, it's like this both before and after."

Su Yue lay on the bed, looked her over, and said, "Sister Xia, put your hand over here, let me take a look."

Xu Caixia obediently extended her hand.

Su Yue placed three fingers on her pulse, closed her eyes to feel it for a moment, then opened her eyes and said confidently.

"This isn't just irregular menstruation; you're pregnant. Judging from your pulse, you've been pregnant for about two months."

"Ah?" Xu Caixia and Zhong Xiaotian exclaimed in surprise at the same time.

"Really?" Zhong Xiaotian's voice changed with excitement.

"Why don't we just go get checked out?" Su Yue said with a smile. "It's convenient since we're at the hospital."

Half an hour later, Zhong Xiaotian and Xu Caixia returned with the test results. Zhong Xiaotian was so happy that he walked with his hands and feet moving in unison, and his mouth stretched to the back of his ears.

"It's true! The doctor said it's been two months!"

The doctor beside her advised, "You are an older mother. The baby's condition is relatively stable, but you must pay more attention to rest and avoid overexertion."

Zhong Xiaotian nodded vigorously, pulling the doctor aside to ask a whole bunch of precautions. His nervous demeanor was exactly the same as Gu Beichen's earlier.

Suddenly, the ward was filled with joy and happiness, as if two happy events had occurred.

The news spread like wildfire, reaching the Gu family in Beijing that very day.

Grandma Gu was so happy on the other end of the phone that she kept chanting "Amitabha!": "What? Twins? Oh my God! I have to book tickets right away! I have to go take care of my eldest granddaughter-in-law!"

When Gu's mother received the call at the research institute, she immediately made a decision: "I'll submit a leave application to the institute right away! After this project is finished, I'll take six months off! No, a year! I'll come and take care of your child!"

The entire Gu family was in an uproar over this news.

weekend.

The most upscale state-run hotel on Hainan Island.

Gu Beixiao and Chu Jingya were forced to sit by the window for a "blind date".

Neither of them looked at the other; one stared blankly out the window, while the other tapped the table with his fingers absentmindedly. The atmosphere was so awkward it could freeze you to death.

Just then, a sweet, delicate voice rang out.

"Oh, Mr. Gu, what a coincidence, you're eating here too?"

Liu Ran walked over with a tray in hand, looking "surprised." "It's so crowded during mealtimes, there aren't any seats left. Do you mind if I share a table here?"

Gu Beixiao didn't even lift his eyelids, which was considered tacit approval.

As soon as Liu Ran sat down, another figure appeared.

As Zhang Sisi passed by their table with a glass of water, her hand "accidentally" slipped, spilling the water all over Chu Jingya's arm.

"Oh dear, I'm so sorry, Comrade Chu, I didn't mean to. Are you alright?" Zhang Sisi apologized verbally, but her face showed no remorse.

Chu Jingya was extremely annoyed. She took out a tissue to wipe her hands and remained silent with a cold face.

Thus began a war without gunfire.

Zhang Sisi and Liu Ran chatted back and forth, one talking about how promising her new job in the logistics department was, and the other about how much the leaders of the art troupe valued her. They were showing off in their words, but their eyes kept glancing at Gu Beixiao.

Gu Beixiao treated it as a show, and even found the food more flavorful.

Only Chu Jingya's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

She felt like a monkey in a zoo, being watched by three lunatics.

Finally, she could no longer tolerate it.

Just as Zhang Sisi and Liu Ran were about to start arguing about whether "Young Master Gu prefers sweet or savory food," Chu Jingya suddenly changed her cold demeanor.

She turned her head to look at Gu Beixiao, her voice so gentle it could melt hearts.

"Bei Xiao, it's too noisy here, shall we go somewhere else?"

As she spoke, to everyone's astonishment, she reached out and took Gu Beixiao's arm.

Gu Beixiao froze.

A soft, warm touch came from my arm, and a faint fragrance lingered around my nose.

His heart skipped a beat.

This was the first time in his life he had ever seen Chu Jingya's usually icy face show such a "gentle" expression, and it was also the first time he had ever been touched by her on his own initiative.

This feeling is strange.

Zhang Sisi and Liu Ran's faces instantly turned a riot of colors, flames of jealousy burning fiercely in their eyes.

They never expected that Chu Jingya, who was always as proud as a peacock, would pull such a stunt.

Under the murderous gazes of the two women, Gu Beixiao nodded as if possessed, letting Chu Jingya take his arm and walk out of the restaurant.

As soon as they reached the deserted path outside, Chu Jingya immediately shook off his hand and resumed her cold, expressionless demeanor.

"Alright, the show's over."

She patted her arms, as if brushing off something dirty.

You owe me one.

Gu Beixiao felt inexplicably disappointed, but he didn't mince words: "Tch, who cares if you're holding my arm?"

Chu Jingya rolled her eyes at him, not wanting to say anything more to him.

The reason she helped was simply because Su Yue had told her an old story a few days ago.

Su Yue said that when Gu Beixiao was still in middle school, Chu Jingya was competing at the Children's Palace. A few hooligans mocked her behind her back, saying she danced like a block of wood. Gu Beixiao heard this and rushed up to fight those guys without saying a word. He got injured himself, but he also beat them black and blue.

From then on, Chu Jingya's impression of him changed slightly from that of a "troublemaker" who only knew how to cause trouble.

Although he's annoying, deep down he doesn't seem to be that bad.

"Hey, I'm telling you..." Gu Beixiao wanted to say something more.

Chu Jingya interrupted him impatiently: "What do you mean 'what do you mean'? I'm going back if there's nothing else."

“No,” Gu Beixiao’s expression suddenly turned serious. He grabbed Chu Jingya’s wrist and pulled her behind a big tree.

His eyes sharpened as he stared intently at a corner on the road they had come from.

"Don't move." He lowered his voice, his tone carrying an unquestionable command.

"Someone is following us!"
