"Twins? Why didn't you tell me before?" Luo Yu seriously suspected that the system had neglected its duty.
The system explained: "Because the host is pregnant with identical twins, their heartbeats are still very weak, so even this system can only detect a little bit. Moreover, one of the babies didn't absorb the host's attribute points before, and we thought he was absorbed by the other baby. We didn't expect him to be dormant. It was not until now that he has formed that we discovered him. So it is possible that the host is pregnant with the legendary genius!"
This baby has just taken shape, and the system can see that he (she) is a genius. Then the system is a true genius.
Luo Yu remembered that if it was monozygotic twins, current equipment would have to wait twelve weeks to detect them. By the end of the month, Luo Yu would be exactly twelve weeks pregnant. Since that was the case, he would discuss it later. After all, it was best not to tell anyone that he knew he was pregnant with twins, otherwise it would likely expose the system.
At the end of February, when Mo Han took Luo Yu to the hospital for a routine prenatal checkup, they found out they were pregnant with twins. Luo Yu's pregnancy was already surprising enough to Mo Han, but now she was also pregnant with twins?
After knowing that Luo Yu was pregnant with twins, Mo Han had a blank expression on his face the entire time he returned home. This was the case whenever Mo Han was unhappy or worried. Because Mo Han had just had a private conversation with the old doctor, Luo Yu wondered if the old doctor had said something to him, and couldn't help but ask Mo Han, "What's wrong with you?"
Mo Han suddenly hugged Luo Yu and said in a deep voice: "Xiao Luo...we don't want these two children anymore. If you want children, we will find a surrogate mother." Mo Han was still frightened when he thought of what the old doctor had said just now.
The old doctor said that although Luo Yu was still in good health, she had actually lost weight compared to her last pregnancy. Pregnant with two children might put a strain on her body. Furthermore, there had been no cases of male hermaphrodites conceiving twins in China, meaning Luo Yu was the first. Since this was her first, the old doctor couldn't guarantee there wouldn't be any unexpected complications. Of course, the old doctor also said it was just speculation; perhaps Luo Yu's pregnancy and delivery would go smoothly.
Mo Han only heard the old doctor's words about Luo Yu's high risk of mishaps during her pregnancy, but ignored the doctor's subsequent remarks. Luo Yu's weight had noticeably dropped, suggesting the two children had drained all of her nutrients. If these two children threatened her health, Mo Han would rather not have them. With this thought, Mo Han's gaze toward Luo Yu's belly deepened with a hint of anger.
Feeling Mo Han's unfriendly gaze towards her belly, and thinking about what Mo Han had just said, Luo Yu almost guessed what he was thinking. Luo Yu took Mo Han's hand, placed it on her belly, and said to Mo Han seriously: "Mo Han, these are our children. They have our blood in them and are the inheritance of our life. They will come out in seven months and will happily call us daddy then. Mo Han, they are already formed. If you say you don't want them, they will be very sad."
Mo Han's hand on Luo Yu's belly trembled, then he lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "But they have already threatened your health, Xiao Luo. They are only a part of us, but you are my everything. I cannot accept the possibility of losing you. Not even a little bit."
Mo Han used to be cold and aloof. Because of his connections with the Mo family, aside from his family, anyone who flattered him or treated him well was solely because of his status as the Young Master of the Mo family. Therefore, from a young age, Mo Han knew that outsiders couldn't be easily trusted. He met Luo Yu then, because Luo Yu didn't know his identity and was the first person to treat him so well, unconditionally saving him. So, Mo Han acted impulsively, but he never regretted it.
The reason why he stayed alone later on was not entirely because he had agreed to Luo Yu's promise, but more because he had not found the right person yet. When Luo Yu appeared again, Mo Han knew that the person he wanted had already appeared. His first impression was that cold young man.
During his time with Luo Yu, Mo Han came to understand him more and more. Although Luo Yu appeared to be indifferent on the surface, he was actually more sensitive than anyone else. For example, in the case of He Yunfei, Mo Han had given him chances time and again, hoping that He Yunfei would come to his senses. Unfortunately, in the end, Luo Yu's hopes were dashed. So, when He Yunfei once again touched Luo Yu's bottom line, Luo Yu had already decided not to tolerate it any longer.
Luo Yu is kind, but he also has his boundaries. Unlike others, whose unconditional kindness can become foolish and ultimately harmful. Luo Yu is also intelligent. There are things he understands better than anyone else, but simply remains silent. He is humble but unyielding, adhering to his principles. If he likes someone, he likes them; if he doesn't, he doesn't like them. He never forces himself. Mo Han loves Luo Yu for who he is, and he doesn't want him to suffer any harm, even if it's their own child.
Mo Han's attitude was very firm, but no matter how resolute Mo Han's attitude was, Luo Yu would still insist. He held Mo Han's cheeks with both hands, and looked him in the face, looking at him seriously. "Mo Han, I know you are worried about me, and I am very happy. It's just that ever since I became pregnant, you have been on edge. You are so nervous at the slightest sign of trouble. This will make you very tired. I know my own body well, and there is nothing wrong. If there is anything, I will tell you. I will not joke with my own body. After all, I am responsible for the lives of three people now."
Mo Han didn't say anything. Luo Yulou put his arm around his neck, then pressed against his chest. Listening to Mo Han's rhythmic heartbeat, he softly said, "Mo Han, I'm tired. Can you sleep with me for a while?"
Gently hugging Luo Yu's waist, Mo Han said tenderly, "Okay."
The two of them rested, while back at the Mo family, Mrs. Mo and Mr. Mo were overjoyed to learn that Luo Yu was pregnant with twins. They'd already thought it was rare for Luo Yu to have just one child, but now two at once? The thought of holding two soft little buns in a few months melted their hearts. So they hurried to see Luo Yu.
…
March 1st marked the grand opening of Luo Yu's restaurant, "Happiness Arrives." Due to his connections with the Mohist School, the crowd that day was packed with high-ranking officials and dignitaries. The food court was instantly bustling with activity. As the owner, Luo Yu should have been incredibly busy, but in reality, he had more leisure time than anyone else. With the exception of one main course, all the other dishes were prepared by several high-ranking chefs.
In reality, the dignitaries who had come were there solely for the Mo family's or Mo Han's sake. They would still come to a restaurant owned by the Mo family's daughter-in-law, no matter how shabby the location or how terrible the food. But that was also the worst-case scenario. Considering the restaurant's warm and elegant decor, and the fact that they'd hired several high-level chefs, the food shouldn't be too bad.
For those who are used to eating delicacies from land and sea, it is really difficult to arouse their appetite if the food is not particularly delicious. At first, everyone took a few bites and suddenly found that the dishes on the table tasted really good. Not only was the taste delicious, but it was also very special.
"Strange, why hasn't the main course been served yet?" Mr. Zhou looked at the dishes on the table and asked in confusion. Although the dishes on the table were very delicious, Mr. Zhou was waiting for the main course!
"This main dish was cooked by Xiaoyu himself. Of course it would take him a while to prepare it alone. Why are you in such a hurry? There are so many dishes, so we can just eat them first." Grandpa Mo was actually looking forward to it in his heart, but he didn't say it out loud.
There were over thirty tables of people today, which meant they had to prepare over thirty dishes. That was very tiring, and certainly not quick. Mo Han had originally disagreed with Luo Yu cooking, but since today was the first day of opening, Luo Yu felt like he had to cook himself. That was the only way to build a reputation for his restaurant, right?
Today's main course, Luo Yu prepared a dish called "Double Dragons Playing with a Pearl," using snake as the main ingredient, as snake is the most nourishing food at this time of year. Furthermore, Luo Yu's cooking had already reached peak flavor, so as soon as this main course arrived, the crowds at the thirty-odd tables began a competition to grab the food.
"It's delicious, so delicious, it's the most delicious dish I have ever eaten. If I'm not mistaken, it's also a medicinal food. It's not only nutritious, but also helps digestion. It's delicious and good for health. This dish is perfect." Grandpa Zhou was sighing, and in a blink of an eye, the dish had been completely finished. Looking at Grandpa Mo who was eating happily next to him, Grandpa Zhou was so angry. What was he talking about just now? He should have eaten first.
"This dish is amazing. I knew that Luo was a good cook, but I didn't expect his cooking skills to be so high. Old Mo, I've made up my mind. When Luo cooks for me in the future, remember to tell me and I'll go to your house to eat." Old Master Xie was more direct.
"You wish." Old Master Mo rolled his eyes.
It could be said that the "Happiness Arrives" restaurant had already established a high status among Kyoto's upper-middle class dignitaries after its opening day. Previously, they had decided to patronize the restaurant more often out of respect for the Mo family, but now, completely captivated by Luo Yu's dish, they decided to come back often to try this incomparable delicacy.
The Western restaurant across from the Happiness Arrives restaurant was usually packed at noon, with lines of people waiting to eat stretching out to the end. But today, with the exception of a handful of people, everyone else had gone to Happiness Arrives. This displeased the Western restaurant's head chef, who also owned it, feeling that Happiness Arrives was stealing their customers. However, the Western restaurant owner was very confident in his cooking. Perhaps those people had been drawn to the Chinese restaurant because of its opening, and they would definitely return once the excitement wore off.
However, the restaurant owner was doomed to be disappointed, because after a week of opening, the number of customers not only did not decrease, but actually continued to increase. Every day, the restaurant was packed and bustling. The owner was so excited that his eyes were red.
Because of the large number of people coming to eat, the restaurant started to introduce a VIP system. Ordinary guests had to queue, but the restaurant's VIP members could make reservations in advance, eliminating the trouble of waiting in line. Only true VIPs could enjoy the dishes made by Luo Yu himself. Because Luo Yu had to go to school, he only came to the restaurant at noon and in the evening. Only ten dishes were made a day, that is, five at noon and five in the evening, on a first-come, first-served basis. This has also become the main signature dish of the restaurant.
If we were to compare the culinary skills of the average restaurant chef, the chefs at Happiness Arrives couldn't compare to the chefs of the Western restaurant across the street. With this in mind, Luo Yu created his own special seasoning on the second day of opening. When the senior chefs added Luo Yu's special seasoning to their dishes, the flavors were elevated to a whole new level. Furthermore, Luo Yu's frequent cooking tips and tricks helped the chefs improve their skills, leading to the restaurant's continued success.
