However, Su Yueya was still very happy, at least today it was confirmed that they were twins, and as for the gender, there would be plenty of opportunities to find out later.
She immediately shared the good news with her family.
"Twins? That's great!" Qiao Xinruo was overjoyed. "Then I'll have two little nephews and nieces all at once! By the way, did you see the genders, sister?"
"No, they didn't give me any face at all, I couldn't see it." Su Yueya said with a slight regret.
"It's alright, whether it's a niece or a nephew, it's a good thing!" Qiao Gaoyang said, his previously restrained urge to shop rekindled. "Since there are two, and we didn't buy much before, how about we go to the department store again tomorrow—"
"Stop!" Su Yueya quickly refused. "Please, don't buy any more!"
“Speaking of which, Mom gave birth to twins twice, which means our family has a genetic predisposition to having twins,” Qiao Xinruo said excitedly.
The thought of her house being filled with identical little dumplings running around melted her heart.
"With our family's genes, everyone is bound to be good-looking!"
Qiao Xinruo's fingers were itching to pinch them, feeling like there were lots of little faces lining up waiting for her to do it.
"It's truly a joyous occasion! With the current family planning policy, we can only have one child. If it's twins, having two at once means we won't violate the rules or be fined, and we can have another child to make our family more lively!" Liu Yuying said happily.
Qiao Hanxue agreed, but also told Su Yueya to be careful.
"Your mother had a tough time carrying twins; it was much harder than for any other pregnant woman. So, Yueya, you need to be careful so that your delivery will be smoother and you'll suffer less!" Qiao Hanxue reminded her.
"I understand." Su Yueya hugged Liu Yuying. "Mom, you've worked so hard!"
"Now that you're a mother yourself, you'll understand how I felt back then. I didn't feel it was hard at all. Pregnancy is a very happy time, and watching you all grow up is even happier," Liu Yuying said sincerely.
Qiao Gaoyang, Qiao Xinruo, and Su Yueya hugged their mother at the same time, acting like children in her arms.
"If only my older brother were home too," Qiao Xinruo sighed.
"Not going to hug me?" Qiao Hanxue protested. "Are you isolating me?"
"Dad, how could we dare!" Qiao Gaoyang said with a loud laugh, pulling his father over as well, and the family hugged each other tightly. "Without you, we wouldn't be here. You're a great hero too!"
"Hahaha……"
Even when being held, Su Yueya was carefully protected by her family, who were afraid of putting pressure on her stomach.
I fell asleep with this good news, and even my dreams were sweet.
Before going to bed, Su Yueya pondered the matter of naming her child, talking to herself in bed.
"If we follow Mom's experience, then it would be two sons or two daughters, but it would be even better if it were twins, a boy and a girl..."
"The baby clothes don't have gender restrictions, but the names for boys and girls are still different. Why don't we come up with names for both now and choose them after the baby is born? Ah, if only Zhengjun were here..."
At such moments, Su Yueya finds it difficult to stop thinking about Lu Zhengjun.
She couldn't help but imagine how excited Lu Zhengjun would be when he found out she was pregnant, and how happy he would be when he found out it was twins.
They could have named the child together, but Leng Yingying's inner thoughts revealed that Lu Zhengjun probably wouldn't be back for a while, and by the time he returned, she would likely have already given birth.
"Babies," Su Yueya said, touching her belly, "Daddy is working really hard to complete his mission so he can come back to see you. Please bless him so he can come back to see you soon. Let's cheer for Daddy together, okay?"
This has almost become a kind of bedtime ritual for Su Yueya.
She was speaking to the children, but also to herself, venting her unfulfilled longing and worry for Lu Zhengjun.
Su Yueya had many ideas about names for the little ones.
She tried to come up with several names herself, all of which contained blessings for the child, but she couldn't decide on a final choice.
The next day, Su Yueya took a break and went to the Lu family to tell her parents-in-law the good news.
"What? Twins? Really? Yueya, have you been to the hospital for a checkup?" Bai Xiuhui was so excited she was incoherent. One minute she was saying she was going to buy things for the babies, the next she was worried about whether it would be too dangerous for Su Yueya during childbirth. "Old Lu, could you go to the medical department and ask them to let Yueya rest at home for now?"
"Mom, it's not that serious. I don't need to rest in advance," Su Yueya said. She noticed that Bai Xiuhui was in much better condition than before, which put her at ease.
At least when Lu Zhengjun returns, she won't feel even more guilty or remorseful because her parents are too sad.
“Exactly, calm down! Yueya is a doctor herself, how could she make a mistake? Besides, Yueya should know whether or not she needs rest. My rashly running to the medical department and talking nonsense is just causing trouble for Yueya!” Lu Anguo said.
He was just as happy as Bai Xiuhui, but he appeared more composed.
"Look at me, I'm so happy I've completely lost my composure. Yueya, how have you been feeling lately? Are you alright? If you're feeling unwell, you have to be careful, carrying twins is very hard!" Bai Xiuhui said worriedly.
"Perhaps both babies came to repay a debt of gratitude. During my pregnancy, I really didn't experience any discomfort; everything was fine," Su Yueya said.
"That's good, that's good. If..." A trace of sadness flashed across Bai Xiuhui's face, but she stopped herself in time and did not mention it again.
Su Yueya understood perfectly what Bai Xiuhui wanted to say.
If only Lu Zhengjun were here too.
Because her thoughts were exactly the same as Bai Xiuhui's, how could Lu Zhengjun not be there for such a beautiful moment?
What a pity!
But what Lu Zhengjun is doing now is even more important.
As a family member, Su Yueya would definitely support Lu Zhengjun's choice at such a moment, instead of blaming or complaining about him.
Moreover, he agreed to carry out the mission in the first place because if he refused, the mission would fall to his older brother, and he was worried that his brother would fail the mission and get into trouble, which is why he agreed to go.
“Mom and Dad,” Su Yueya said, not wanting her in-laws to go back to their previous state, “Taking care of two children is much harder than taking care of one, so you two absolutely cannot be lazy. You must eat well and exercise regularly every day to stay healthy. That way, when I give birth, you will have the strength to take care of the baby. I’m counting on you!”
“Okay! Mom will listen to you!” Bai Xiuhui said.
