Xiang Zhilan looked up and glared at him, only to see him suppressing a smile with his eyebrows slightly curved, like the early spring sunshine melting ice and snow, which was quite beautiful.

She paused for a moment, looked away, felt a little awkward, brushed the hand off her back, and continued eating without saying a word.

"Are you angry?" Shen Muzhi looked at her face, only to see that she had turned away, leaving him with only the back of her head.

He had only meant to tease her, but things had backfired, leaving him momentarily at a loss for what to do. He simply sat quietly beside her. The couple next to them were chatting and laughing, seemingly having had a successful checkup, and were waiting in line to hear their baby's heartbeat.

Shen Muzhi glanced at his wife. Both were about three months pregnant, but Xiang Zhilan was far too slender compared to him, and she was also carrying twins. It would be much harder for her when her belly got bigger.

He placed his hand on Xiang Zhilan's shoulder and patted it gently.

After Xiang Zhilan finished eating, she turned to look at him and found his behavior inexplicable.

After a while, the electronic screen showed that it was her turn to go in and listen to the fetal heartbeat, so she picked up her bag and got up, and Shen Muzhi followed her in.

Xiang Zhilan lay down, and the doctor put headphones on her. Seeing Shen Muzhi, she smiled and asked, "Would you like to listen too, sir?"

Shen Muzhi nodded, and the doctor gave him the other earphone.

Xiang Zhilan pouted unhappily. After a while, a faint sound came from her earphones, which caught her attention.

But after listening for a long time, she could only hear one sound.

After taking off her headphones, she hurriedly asked the doctor, "I'm having twins, why is there only one fetal heartbeat?"

"It's probably because the fetal heartbeat is still quite weak at 12 weeks. It should be clearer in another month." The doctor wrote down the note and handed it to Xiang Zhilan.

Xiang Zhilan took it, still somewhat worried.

Shen Muzhi helped her down, patted her hand, and said, "It's alright."

Xiang Zhilan nodded absentmindedly, then went out, received the blood and urine test results, went into the examination room, and handed them to the doctor.

"Blood and urine tests are normal. Come back for another check-up at 16 weeks." The doctor wrote in the file, looked up at Xiang Zhilan, and said, "Your blood pressure is a little low and your weight is a little low. You need to pay attention to your nutrition."

Then the doctor looked up at Shen Muzhi again and said, "Your wife's blood pressure may cause dizziness in the morning, so you need to be especially careful and make sure she doesn't bump into anything."

"Yes, thank you, doctor." Shen Muzhi glanced at Xiang Zhilan's weight and blood pressure, frowned slightly, and helped her up.

Xiang Zhilan tried to pull her hand away, but Shen Muzhi insisted on supporting her until she got into the car.

"You can't go any lighter." Shen Muzhi started the car and said, "From now on, eat half a bowl more rice at every meal."

"Before I met you, I weighed 49kg, which was a perfect standard. After I met you, I dropped to a low of 42kg. Now I've gained some weight back." Xiang Zhilan stated the facts indifferently, and added, "If I didn't have to see you, I might be able to eat an extra bowl of rice at each meal."

She is nearly 170 cm tall and weighed around 80 kg back then. She was frighteningly thin, with bones protruding from all her joints. She has gained some weight back now, but she is still thin.

Shen Muzhi knew which period she meant by "low point," and he gripped the steering wheel tightly.

Xiang Zhilan turned her head to look out the window, still worried about the fact that she had only heard one fetal heartbeat.
