"Wait, no, I want to be the older sister, not the younger sister. Let me out first!" Shen Xiaoxiao shouted in her heart, and she rushed forward, but she was still a step too late.

Another child quickly entered the birth canal, and then a cry was heard. The first child was born, and at the same time, Chen Xiaoxiao's heart rang out.

"Waaaah, why am I the younger sister again? I want to be the older sister, why did you have to come out before me?" Shen Xiaoxiao cried.

"I don't want to be a younger brother!" With this innocent yet firm voice, our brave and fearless king of soldiers, who was once renowned throughout the land, was the first to rush out.

At that moment, he was filled with pride and didn't even realize how childish he had become.

Shen Xiaoxiao saw that the other person was already pregnant and destined to be the older brother, while she could only be the younger sister.

So she stopped worrying and, in order not to let her mother suffer, did her best to be born through the birth canal.

After both children were successfully delivered, Ma Aning was exhausted from the long labor and fainted in the delivery room.

The nurses hurriedly examined the mother and her two newborn babies, and finding them both healthy, they breathed a sigh of relief. They then quickly carried the two children out of the delivery room, calling out, "Who are Ma Aning's family members?"

Upon hearing the shouts, Shen Zishan felt his legs go weak, but he forced himself to stay upright and staggered forward. His voice trembled as he said, "I...I'm her husband. How is my wife now?"

The nurse smiled and replied, "Don't worry, the mother is fine. She's just too tired and has fallen asleep. She'll be wheeled out in a little while."

"Come and see your precious babies. They are a pair of adorable twins, a boy and a girl. The older one is a boy."

Upon learning that his wife was safe and sound, Shen Zishan was overjoyed, his face beaming with undisguised happiness.

Just then, Qian Danu, who had been standing by waiting for news, suddenly rushed forward, pushed Shen Zishan aside without saying a word, and then tightly hugged the nurse's grandson.

She kept muttering, "Oh, my dear grandson, my precious darling."

Shen Xiaoxiao shuddered; it sounded like her grandmother's voice.

Shen Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Something's not right. Why did even that annoying old woman come to join in the fun during this delivery? Did she appear here in my past life?"

Thinking of this, Shen Xiaoxiao became increasingly nervous, and a nameless unease welled up in her heart.

"I remember in my past life I was all alone, without a brother. Why do I have a brother in this life? Where did my brother go in my past life?" Shen Xiaoxiao dared not think about it too much.

"Dad, be careful! Keep an eye on me and my brother. Don't let us get sold. My mom must have given birth to my brother in her past life, and he must have been sold."

"My brain really doesn't work well after I became a baby. I knew I had a sibling a long time ago, how come I only remembered it now?" Shen Xiaoxiao was very annoyed.

After hearing his daughter's heartfelt words, Shen Zishan tightened his grip on her.

"Who will come with me to carry the baby to the ward first?" the nurse asked.

"You stay here and watch over your wife. I'm taking the baby and going with the nurse," Qian Daniu instructed, then followed the nurse with the baby.

"Sigh, could my brother have been taken away right now? So my mom has no idea I have a brother." Shen Xiaoxiao shivered.

As Shen Zishan watched his son and daughter being carried away, he unconsciously followed them. Then, remembering his wife in the delivery room, he turned around and walked back.

Shen Xiaoxiao knew that her father hadn't come with her but was staying with her mother. She didn't dare to sleep and forced herself to stay awake, thinking, "I must protect my brother. I can't let them steal him away."

Hearing my sister's heartfelt words, I was deeply moved. I had never experienced true family love in my past life, but I have one in this life.

Upon arriving at the ward, the nurse gently and carefully placed Shen Xiaoxiao on the bed.

She said softly, "This bed is specially prepared for pregnant women. Please wait here for a while. I have other work to take care of, so I'll be leaving now." With that, the nurse smiled and walked towards the door.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, nurse. You can go ahead and get busy. I can handle this."

While keeping her eyes glued to the child, Qian Daniu responded enthusiastically to the nurse.

Qian Danu only came to her senses after the nurse had completely disappeared from sight.

She crept stealthily to the ward door, then slowly pushed it open a crack, peeking out and looking around.

Suddenly, when her gaze caught sight of a figure, her eyes lit up instantly. She quickly waved at the person and whispered, "Hey, come here!"

All of this was witnessed by Shen Zishan, who rushed back but deliberately hid to the side.

His heart was pounding, and he thought to himself, "Mother, don't let me down."

Shen Zishan held his breath and remained motionless, hiding himself without daring to make a sound, for fear of alerting the enemy and revealing his whereabouts. He was only interested in seeing what would happen next.

Just then, the man said slowly and deliberately, "Oh, what's the rush! I'm already here. You can't just come out of the delivery room so quickly after giving birth. You'll have to wait at least a while longer!"

"Alright! Hurry up and take that one off the bed!" Qian Danu's mean face scrunched up, her expression full of disgust.

Shen Xiaoxiao on the bed was completely stunned. Her mind was buzzing, and she had no idea what was going on.

He thought to himself, "Am I lying in bed right now? Is this old woman going to sell me in this life? But... I definitely didn't have a brother in my past life! What's going on?"

At this moment, the man who had been standing silently to the side finally couldn't help but rub his hands together and asked again, "Sister Qian, please tell me clearly, is the baby lying on this bed a boy or a girl?"

Qian Daniu glared at the man and said irritably, "Of course she's a worthless little brat! She's just a money-loser. You can take her away now and give me the money!" She then waved her hand impatiently.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in the man's eyes. He quickly took out a large sum of money from his pocket, counted out two hundred yuan, and handed it to Qian Daniu.

Upon seeing this, Qian Daniu's eyes immediately lit up, and she eagerly reached out to take it. But just as her fingers were about to touch the banknotes, the man suddenly pulled his hand back.

Now Qian Danu was furious. She glared at her and shouted angrily, "What are you doing? Trying to back out?"
