Chapter 9 They seem to be twins?
At the beginning of the year, Shen Qingshu bought an apartment in the 'Dolphin Bay' residential complex next to her studio.
It's 140 square meters, with three bedrooms. She and her mother share one room, and she converted a small room into a study.
She hired a renovation company to redesign and furnish the apartment, which was completed three months ago and is ready to move in.
Shen Qingshu put her luggage in her new home and then went to her studio.
She worked in the repair room until the early hours of the morning, pushing herself to her limit before dragging her exhausted body back to the break room.
After washing up, I lay down on the bed, closed my eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.
She didn't sleep well that night, had many dreams, and couldn't remember anything when she woke up.
Rubbing her throbbing head, Shen Qingshu went into the bathroom to wash up.
When I came out, my phone on the bedside table was vibrating.
It was Fu Siyan calling.
Shen Qingshu did not answer.
She could probably guess it was because of Fu Siyu.
If you've made up your mind to get a divorce, then cut ties cleanly.
Fu Siyu is Zhou Yuchu's biological son after all, and Shen Qingshu believes that after spending some time together, Fu Siyu will gradually transfer her dependence to Zhou Yuchu.
After changing her clothes, Shen Qingshu put her phone in her bag and headed to the hospital.
-
In Qiao Xingjia's private consultation room in the obstetrics and gynecology department of the hospital.
"Based on your last menstrual period and ultrasound results, you are 5 weeks + 4 days pregnant."
Qiao Xingjia handed the report to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu took the report and looked at the black and white images on it, her heart clenching.
“And this one of yours…” Qiao Xingjia pointed to the small gestational sac on it, “It looks like twins.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Qingshu was taken aback.
She looked up at Qiao Xingjia, "Are you sure?"
"It's only been a little over five weeks, and all we can see are two gestational sacs."
Qiao Xingjia explained, "If you can detect fetal heartbeats in both gestational sacs around seven weeks, then it can be confirmed that it's twins. And in your case, with two gestational sacs, it's usually fraternal twins, maybe even a boy and a girl!"
Shen Qingshu held the report in her hand, her pale lips pressed together repeatedly, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Qiao Xingjia knew that Shen Qingshu had softened her heart.
After all, they are one's own flesh and blood, and they might even be twins. Anyone would be reluctant to part with them.
Furthermore, this is the child of Shen Qingshu and Fu Siyan.
Qiao Xingjia was well aware of Shen Qingshu's feelings for Fu Siyan.
Qiao Xingjia even felt that there was probably no one else in the world like Shen Qingshu, who for five whole years, in the name of repaying a debt of gratitude, loved a man who might file for divorce at any time without any regrets.
In this marriage, Shen Qingshu loved with both humility and clarity.
As for Fu Siyan... he probably never got into character from beginning to end.
"I'll think about it some more."
After a long while, Shen Qingshu lifted her eyelids to look at Qiao Xingjia, "I'll tell you after I've made my decision."
Her beautiful, slightly red eyes were filled with tears, and her gaze was filled with confusion.
Qiao Xingjia felt a pang of heartache watching this. "You can make a decision within 12 weeks."
"Okay." Shen Qingshu put the report into her bag. "Don't tell anyone I'm pregnant."
"I know."
Qiao Xingjia still had to go to work, so Shen Qingshu didn't want to delay her.
After leaving the obstetrics and gynecology department, Shen Qingshu took the elevator downstairs.
Upon arriving on the first floor, Shen Qingshu stepped out of the elevator and immediately saw Fu Siyan carrying Fu Siyu as they walked in from outside the hospital gate.
Fu Siyu had a fever-reducing patch on his forehead.
Shen Qingshu was startled.
When Fu Siyu saw her, his sickly little face immediately lit up with a smile: "It's Mom!"
Fu Siyan paused and looked over.
"Mother!"
Fu Siyu called out to Shen Qingshu.
Fu Siyan carried Fu Siyu to Shen Qingshu.
Shen Qingshu truly loved Fu Siyu. She touched Fu Siyu's face and found that it was quite warm.
She asked, "Why did you suddenly develop a fever?"
Fu Siyan replied calmly, "I had some ice cream last night."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyu nervously picked at his fingers.
Actually, it was because it was the first time his mother had bought him ice cream, and he didn't want to waste it, so he ate the whole box.
But Fu Siyu didn't dare to tell the truth. If Shen Qingshu knew that he had eaten a whole box of ice cream, she would definitely blame her mother!
His mother was so gentle and loved him so much, how could he let his mother be blamed by Shen Qingshu!
Afraid that Shen Qingshu would continue to press for answers, Fu Siyu reached out his hand and asked, "Mommy, can you hug me?"
Shen Qingshu subconsciously reached out to raise her hand, but then paused, remembering that she was pregnant.
She rubbed Fu Siyu's head and said, "I'm not feeling well, let Daddy hold you."
Upon hearing this, Fu Siyu pouted in dissatisfaction.
This was the first time Shen Qingshu had refused to hug him.
Although it was because of illness, Fu Siyu remembered that even when he was sick, Shen Qingshu would still hug him.
Could it be that Shen Qingshu is angry?
Fu Siyu carefully observed Shen Qingshu.
Seeing that she did not look well, Fu Siyu felt a little nervous.
"Mom, are you angry with me?" Fu Siyu looked at Shen Qingshu pitifully. "I was wrong. I shouldn't have secretly eaten ice cream without telling you. I promise I will never eat ice cream again."
Shen Qingshu never gave Fu Siyu ice cream because Fu Siyu suffers from congenital asthma and has had poor digestive function since childhood. Traditional Chinese medicine says that sweets and raw or cold foods must be avoided.
She was about to explain to Fu Siyu when Fu Siyan spoke first: "Your mother won't be angry with you."
He spoke with certainty, not expecting Shen Qingshu to refute him at all.
Shen Qingshu's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she silently pursed her lips.
Fu Siyu looked at Shen Qingshu, "Mom, are you really not angry?"
Shen Qingshu smiled slightly at Fu Siyu, "Of course Mom isn't angry."
"Mom, can you stay with me today?" Fu Siyu's eyes were red, and her voice was full of grievance: "I feel unwell, and I want to drink the porridge you made."
Shen Qingshu hesitated for a second, then nodded: "Okay."
-
Fu Siyu saw a doctor and was diagnosed with a sore throat. The doctor prescribed some medication, advised her to eat a light diet, drink plenty of water, and rest at home.
Back at Nanxi Mansion, Fu Siyan carried Fu Siyu upstairs to rest.
Shen Qingshu went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
Half an hour later, Shen Qingshu carried the cooked porridge upstairs.
The door to the children's room was ajar, and Fu Siyu's voice came through—
"Mom, don't worry, the doctor said I'll be fine after taking some medicine... It's not Mom's fault, if you hadn't bought me ice cream, I wouldn't have known ice cream was so delicious... And those cookies, chips, and lollipops were really good too! I've never eaten so many snacks before!"
Shen Qingshu paused in her action of pushing the door open.
Fu Siyu's voice continued:
"Qingshu's mom won't be angry. She knows I'm sick and will only feel sorry for me. She's downstairs making porridge for me right now! Mom, you're not feeling well, so I won't come to see you for the next few days because I'm afraid of catching your cold... Don't worry about me, Qingshu's mom will take good care of me!"
Shen Qingshu stood outside the door, her hand holding the plate tightening slightly.
Zhou Yuchu actually fed Fu Siyu so much junk food!
What surprised her even more was that in just a few days, Fu Siyu and Zhou Yuchu's relationship had become so good...
Shen Qingshu knew she had no right to mind, but seeing the child she had raised with all her heart calling Zhou Yuchu "Mom" again and again, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Blood is thicker than water; no matter how sincere she is, she can never overcome the bond of blood.
She was an outsider from beginning to end.
-
Fu Siyu only remembered Shen Qingshu after finishing his phone call with Zhou Yuchu.
He called out "Mom" from the room, but Shen Qingshu did not respond for a long time.
Fu Siyu then went downstairs to the kitchen to look for it herself.
But there was no one in the kitchen.
Fu Siyu came out of the kitchen and saw a bowl of porridge on the dining table.
