Chapter 13, Chapter 102: Pregnant with Twins...
The wedding date was set for National Day, October 2nd.
Before the start of the new school year in September, on August 30th, Cheng Jiamo and He Qingzhao returned to Beijing. They landed at the international airport at 3 PM, where He Jingyang picked them up in his car.
Upon seeing Cheng Jiamo, He Jingyang greeted her with a beaming smile, calling her "Sister-in-law."
Cheng Jiamo smiled and nodded at him.
Once inside the car, He Jingyang asked, "Brother, are we going back to Nanyuan, or directly to the old house?"
He Qingzhao leaned back lazily and replied, "Nanyuan." He added, "We won't go to the old house today; we'll go tomorrow."
He Jingyang typed the address into the car's screen: "Okay, I'll go back and tell them."
He Qingzhao: "No need to go back. Just call and tell them. Let's have dinner together tonight, and invite Zihong over too."
He Jingyang asked curiously, "Is his name only Zihong?"
He Qingzhao laughed: "If we invited everyone, it would be a family dinner. Today we're just having a private get-together."
He Jingyang asked where the restaurant was, then immediately called He Zihong, quickly explained the situation, and asked He Zihong to drive to the restaurant first.
He Qingzhao is treating everyone tonight, including friends and a few of his peers. The invitations were made before he returned.
Back at Nanyuan, Cheng Jiamo took a shower, dried her hair, and lay down on the bed to rest.
She felt a little nauseous while taking a shower, but she didn't pay attention to it, assuming it was because she had been on a plane for a long time.
He Qingzhao was downstairs, his phone kept ringing. By the time he finished and returned upstairs, Cheng Jiamo was already asleep.
Cheng Jiamo didn't sleep soundly; her delicate brows were slightly furrowed.
He Qingzhao sat down on the edge of the bed, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then hugged her and patted her gently.
When Cheng Jiamo woke up, she saw He Qingzhao lying next to her with his eyes closed. His long, sharp black eyebrows were relaxed, like two swords pointing straight to his temples, and there were already a few silver strands in his temples.
Cheng Jiamo reached out and gently stroked his temple, her thumb lingering on the corner of his eye and rubbing it.
Suddenly, her hand was grabbed, and He Qingzhao opened her eyes. Her long, deep phoenix eyes were clear and cold, without any of the confusion she had when she first woke up.
"Aren't you asleep?" Cheng Jiamo asked.
He Qingzhao looked at her rosy face as she slept, his Adam's apple bobbing. He grabbed the back of her neck with his large hand and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Cheng Jiamo was already feeling unwell, and his intense kiss on her lips made her feel even worse. She hurriedly pushed him away, saying, "Don't kiss me, I'm not feeling well."
He Qingzhao immediately sat up and asked with concern, "Where does your wife feel unwell?"
Cheng Jiamo wasn't sure if she was pregnant or if it was due to the long flight. She planned to wait until tomorrow to buy a pregnancy test and find out the result before telling He Qingzhao. If she was pregnant, she would tell him; if not, she wouldn't.
If she were to say now that she might be pregnant, He Qingzhao would definitely make a big fuss and take her to the hospital for a checkup.
She didn't want to go directly to the hospital; she wanted to use a pregnancy test first to confirm her pregnancy before going to the hospital for a full checkup.
So she smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's probably just from sitting on the plane for too long. I'll be fine after a good night's sleep."
He Qingzhao was still worried: "Don't push yourself. If you feel unwell, go to the hospital now."
Cheng Jiamo hugged his lean waist and nestled into his arms, pouting, "I'm really fine."
He Qingzhao kissed her forehead, then her cheek, his voice low and gentle: "If your wife is sick, you must tell me. You can't hide it from me, understand?"
Cheng Jiamo tilted her head back and kissed his chin: "I know, I'm not stupid."
The restaurant was located on the East Second Ring Road, a quiet courtyard house amidst the hustle and bustle, with lush flowers and trees, rockeries and flowing water, creating a serene and elegant atmosphere.
In the luxurious private room on the second floor, Zhong Qi, Zhao Yue, and He Lin were already sitting and waiting.
He Qingzhao pulled Cheng Jiamo's hand and walked in. Zhong Qi joked with a smile, "I thought Boss He was going to skip out on the bill today and not come."
He Jingyang walked into the room and jokingly retorted to Zhong Qi, "Go to hell, is my brother that kind of person?"
Everyone sat down with smiles, and Cheng Jiamo explained in a gentle voice, "I'm sorry we're late. It's mainly because I was slow and took up too much time."
Zhong Qi waved his hand with a smile: "Just kidding, sister-in-law, don't take it to heart."
Afterwards, Zhou Jinghong and his family of three, Zong Zhengping, Huo Junhou and others also arrived one after another.
He Qingzhao said with a smile, "Momo and I are trying to conceive, so we can't drink alcohol for the time being. Today, we'll toast everyone with tea instead of alcohol."
He picked up the sky-blue teacup, said some words of thanks, and then toasted everyone one by one.
Cheng Jiamo also picked up her cup, about to drink, when suddenly she felt nauseous. She quickly put down the cup, covered her mouth, and ran to the bathroom.
Everyone was stunned.
He Qingzhao's heart skipped a beat in fright, and he hurriedly chased after her, only to see Cheng Jiamo standing in front of the washbasin, bending over and dry heaving.
Cheng Jiaming knew He Qingzhao had arrived. Not wanting him to see her vomiting, she quickly waved to him, saying, "Don't come any closer."
He Qingzhao ignored her and quickly walked behind her, grabbing her arm: "Come on, let's go to the hospital."
Cheng Jiamo brushed her disheveled hair aside: "Go outside and wait for me, I'll tidy myself up first..."
He Qingzhao picked her up in one swift motion, carried her horizontally in his arms, and quickly walked out.
Cheng Jiamo tidied her hair and said reproachfully, "What's your rush? Let me at least fix my hair."
He Qingzhao's face was very tense, and his eyes were dark and deep.
Everyone looked at them, and He Jingyang asked worriedly, "Is your sister-in-law alright?"
Just as Cheng Jiamo was about to say that it was nothing, Xi Yuan asked with a smile, "Is Momo pregnant?"
He Qingzhao: "..."
Cheng Jiamo blushed: "I don't know."
On the way to the hospital, He Qingzhao held Cheng Jiamo's hand the whole time.
Cheng Jiamo could clearly sense his nervousness, and patted his hand with a smile: "What are you nervous about? It's not like you're the one doing the examination in a little while."
He Qingzhao looked at her with a serious expression, saying nothing, his eyes deep and piercing.
Cheng Jiamo quickly hugged him, buried her face in his chest, and said softly, "Don't look at me like that, it's scary. Okay, okay, I'll definitely tell you if I feel unwell in the future, and you can tell me what to do."
He Qingzhao sighed helplessly yet indulgently: "The first three months are very dangerous, if you're really pregnant..."
Cheng Jiamo covered his mouth with her hand: "Okay, I know, no more nagging."
While Cheng Jiamo was having her blood drawn, He Qingzhao was so nervous that sweat beaded on her forehead.
Cheng Jiamo found it amusing and pushed him, saying, "If you're scared, stand further away."
He Qingzhao didn't say anything, but pressed her head into his arms.
While waiting for the examination, Cheng Jiamo leaned on He Qingzhao's shoulder, held his hand, and played with his fingers.
He Qingzhao placed her other hand on her leg, her slender fingers gently tapping her knee.
Cheng Jiamo pressed down on his fingers: "Stop knocking, it's making me a little nervous."
The test results confirmed that she was pregnant, and that it was two gestational sacs.
Cheng Jiamo excitedly hugged He Qingzhao, looked up at him with bright eyes, and said, "Honey, I'm pregnant with twins!"
Although the two had already registered their marriage, she rarely called He Qingzhao "husband," usually just by his name. But right now, she was so excited that she called him "husband."
He Qingzhao was also excited, his heart was racing, his whole body was hot, and it felt like the blood in his body was about to ignite. However, after the excitement came a lot of worry.
He looked at the petite and charming woman in his arms and thought that it would be very difficult for her to carry even one child, let alone two. The difficulty and risks would be doubled.
My heart clenched tightly, a sharp, throbbing pain that made my throat feel dry and sore.
"Wife." He Qingzhao lowered his head and kissed Cheng Jiamo's face. "My wife will have to endure ten months of hardship. I feel sorry for her."
Cheng Jiamo stepped away from his embrace and looked at him with a smile: "It's okay, it's just a little bit of hard work. We'll have two adorable babies in the future."
Looking at her jade-like face and star-studded eyes, He Qingzhao felt a surge of warmth in his heart and suddenly picked her up in his arms.
Cheng Jiamo patted his shoulder: "Don't hug me, what if you fall?"
He Qingzhao smiled slightly: "Don't you trust your husband?"
-
After taking a shower that evening, Cheng Jiamo sat on the bed watching TV in a white floral cotton nightgown. It was an old fantasy romance drama.
Just as the climax of the scene unfolded, the female lead stabbed the male lead in the chest.
The male protagonist was dressed in white, his clothes were stained red with blood, and crimson blood was also spilling from the corner of his mouth.
He Qingzhao came out of the bathroom, drying his hair. He glanced at the bloody scene on the TV, frowned, walked to the bedside, and pressed Cheng Jiamo's head into his arms.
Cheng Jiamo pushed him, saying, "You're blocking my view of the TV."
He Qingzhao's tone was gentle yet forceful: "You are not allowed to watch such bloody scenes again. It's not good for the baby's growth."
Cheng Jiamo chuckled: "This is a romance drama, not a horror one."
He Qingzhao: "That won't work either."
Cheng Jiamo pinched him: "He Qingzhao, you're so annoying. You even have to control what I watch TV."
He Qingzhao smiled helplessly: "Wife, I'm doing this for your and the baby's own good."
Cheng Jiamo tilted her head, bit his earlobe and sucked on it, then licked the back of his ear.
He Qingzhao was instantly aroused, his arms around her tightened, and his breathing became rapid.
Cheng Jiamo pushed him away: "The doctor said we can't have sex for the first three months."
He Qingzhao pinched her delicate nose: "You know you can't, but you're deliberately torturing me?"
Cheng Jiamo snuggled into his arms and nuzzled him with her head: "I was just deliberately tormenting you, because you wouldn't let me watch TV."
He Qingzhao found a heartwarming and inspiring animated film for her, sat down next to her, hugged her, and watched it with her.
On a summer night, the moonlight is bright and the cicadas are chirping.
Huge floor-to-ceiling windows with curtains at both ends allow moonlight to shine on the floor, creating a tranquil and beautiful scene.
Cheng Jiamo nestled in He Qingzhao's arms watching TV. After a while, she felt sleepy and lazily yawned.
He Qingzhao tilted his head and kissed her cheek, his voice low and tender: "Go to sleep if you're sleepy."
Cheng Jiamo lay down, and He Qingzhao embraced her, his large hand covering her soft lower abdomen.
Cheng Jiamo patted the back of his hand: "They're just embryos now, you can't feel their presence." After saying that, she asked, "Do you think they'll be two boys, two girls, or one boy and one girl?"
He Qingzhao shook his head and chuckled: "I can't guess."
Cheng Jiamo: "Then what do you want?"
He Qingzhao said, "Two girls."
Cheng Jiamo smiled, her eyes crinkling: "What if they're both boys? Wouldn't you be very disappointed?"
He Qingzhao smiled and touched her face: "No, I love all the children you gave birth to."
Cheng Jiamo gently kicked him with her foot: "It's yours too, it's not just mine."
He Qingzhao smiled and lay down, lifting her skirt and looking tenderly at her fair and smooth abdomen.
Cheng Jiamo felt embarrassed by his gaze and patted his shoulder, saying, "Stop looking."
He Qingzhao lowered his head and gently kissed her lower abdomen, then lightly pressed his face against her stomach.
With a gurgling sound—
Cheng Jiamo's stomach rumbled, and she blushed with embarrassment, kicking him angrily and shamefully, saying, "Get away from me."
He Qingzhao chuckled and looked at her with a smile: "Hungry?"
Cheng Jiamo pursed her lips: "A little."
He Qingzhao asked, "What would you like to eat?"
Cheng Jiamo: "I want to eat oranges."
He Qingzhao gently stroked her moist, rosy lips with his thumb: "Eating oranges when you're hungry isn't good for your stomach. Have some porridge first, then eat oranges."
Cheng Jiamo slapped his hand away: "No, I only want to eat oranges right now, I don't want to eat anything else."
He Qingzhao had no choice but to comply, so he went downstairs to get her some oranges, sat by the bed, peeled them, and fed them to her.
Cheng Jiamo instructed him: "Don't remove the white hairs, peel them off completely."
He Qingzhao looked at her with a doting smile: "Yes, Your Majesty."
