Gu An'an didn't expect Xiao Yuheng to be so childish, and rolled her eyes. "Aren't you annoying?"

Xiao Yuheng put away his frivolous expression and said with a wronged look, "Wife, I've been away from home for so long, and you can't even give me a perfunctory response."

childish! How childish!

"Get into bed quickly, your son and daughter are sleepy."

Xiao Yuheng moved swiftly, pulling Gu An'an back into his arms in a few seconds. But having just learned such exciting news, he couldn't sleep at all. He gently kissed the top of Gu An'an's head and murmured, "An'an, I'm so happy."

He was very happy to have met such a good wife as Gu An'an, and he was also very happy that she could give him two children.

"I know you're happy, but you better behave yourself tomorrow and don't go out and cause trouble for me."

Xiao Yuheng was thinking about who he could brag about this to, but his wife rejected his idea with a single sentence. However, he didn't want to argue about it, since An'an wouldn't know if he secretly found a few people to brag to anyway.

"Okay, let's go to sleep."

Although he still had a lot to say, it was already past midnight, and An'an and the baby needed to rest.

For him, holding his wife felt like holding the whole world.

As her belly grew bigger, Gu An'an's sleep time became longer and longer, and she soon fell into a deep sleep again.

The next morning.

To ensure Gu An'an slept more soundly, Xiao Yuheng maintained that position all night. When Gu An'an woke up, she saw Xiao Yuheng looking at her tenderly the whole time. When their eyes met, the love and surprise in his eyes were undeniable.

Xiao Yuheng lowered his head and kissed Gu An'an's forehead. "Awake?"

Gu An'an gave a soft "hmm," and asked, "You didn't sleep last night?"

The newly sprouted stubble and dark circles under his eyes made the man in front of me look a little haggard, but he was still just as handsome, even with a touch of maturity.

"It's okay, I'll go report to my work in a bit and then come back to be with you. You can catch up on your sleep if you're tired."

After all, I've been away on business for so long and achieved such good results, so I deserve two days off.

"That's good. By the way, how was your grand competition this time?"

When it came to his major, Xiao Yuheng perked up, "Guess?"

"First?"

Xiao Yuheng nodded proudly, "She really is my wife, she has excellent taste."

Honestly, it had only been a short time since they last met, and Gu An'an felt that the person in front of her had become even more arrogant.

"You did a good job. Here's your chance to help me get out of bed."

As soon as Gu An'an reached out her hand, Xiao Yuheng immediately reached out his hand for her to hold, saying, "Wife, you're really stylish now."

With just a glance from Gu An'an, Xiao Yuheng knew what she wanted and truly served her until she got up.

After she finished washing her face, the village chief's wife had already prepared breakfast. "An'an, there are steamed buns and millet porridge this morning. What would you like to eat for lunch? Your aunt will make it for you."

"Auntie, you can do whatever you want."

The village chief's wife was already a very good cook, and now she was willing to use more oil and seasonings. Gu An'an had no complaints at all; she ate whatever she cooked and enjoyed it every day.

"Okay, I'll see what I can do."

The three of them sat together eating breakfast. Xiao Yuheng asked about all the things to be careful about when pregnant with twins. The more he knew, the more uneasy he became. Giving birth to one child was already dangerous enough, but now that he was pregnant with twins, the risks could double.

Honestly, there was a moment when he wondered why men couldn't get pregnant. If they could, he could take on those risks for them.

Unfortunately, all of this was just his fantasy.

"I'll go take care of something for a while, then I'll come back to be with you later."

Gu An'an waved her hand and continued translating, "Go on, go on!"

"Commander, Political Commissar."

As soon as Xiao Yuheng walked into the office, the two of them smiled at him. "You're back! You did a great job this time. The higher-ups have already called to praise you. You didn't let our group down!"

The longer they worked together, the more satisfied they became with Xiao Yuheng.

"Have you been home?"

Political Commissar Fang said gently, "Your wife is pregnant with twins, so Lao Zhao and I have decided to give you a few days off to spend time with your family. You don't need to worry too much about work."

Xiao Yuheng originally wanted to ask for leave, but he didn't expect Political Commissar Fang to think of it first, and a smile unconsciously crept onto his face.

"Thank you, Political Commissar, thank you, Regiment Commander. I came here to ask for leave. I never expected An'an to get pregnant with twins all at once, and I haven't been home recently. She's really been through so much."

Seizing the opportunity to show off, Xiao Yuheng certainly wouldn't let it pass. "Commander, Political Commissar, has anyone in your family ever been pregnant with twins? Is there anything you need to be especially careful about?"

The two men, neither of whom had ever had twins, exchanged a glance and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes.

Is this kid showing off?

"Doesn't your son, Xiao Gu, go to the hospital for regular checkups? What? Didn't the doctor mention it?"

Commander Zhao asked, though he didn't really understand this aspect; he only heard the information from his wife.

"The doctor said so, but I'm worried that the doctor might have missed something, which is why I wanted to ask other people."

"Commander and Political Commissar, you didn't know? Well, twins aren't that common, so it's normal that you don't have experience. I guess I'll have to ask others."

Commander Zhao confirmed it; this brat was indeed showing off. But how to put it? The other side really did have something to brag about, considering that their entire regiment only had this one pair of twins.

"Alright, alright, hurry back and take care of your wife. Don't provoke us like this. Our two kids are grown up, they won't fall for your act."

Xiao Yuheng didn't intend to say anything more; showing off should be done in moderation. However, before leaving, he couldn't help but add one more sentence.

"Alright, then I won't bother the regimental commander and political commissar any longer. I need to go and see if anyone has experience with having twins so I can learn from them."

Commander Zhao really didn't want to see the smile on his face; he always felt that it was the smile of a petty person who had gotten his way.

Only after Xiao Yuheng disappeared from the office did Commander Zhao sigh, "Old Fang, do you think this kid is getting worse as he gets older?"

Political Commissar Fang maintained a smile throughout, saying, "Isn't it good as it is now? Do you really want him to be the same as before?"

Thinking about that incident from a long time ago, Commander Zhao wasn't so relaxed anymore. "I don't want it, of course I don't want it. All I want now is for these lads under my command to be alright."
