"Oh my god, honey, you're really pregnant?" Qian Gui's voice trembled with excitement.
Jin Jinxiu, unable to bear his pathetic state any longer, impatiently urged, "Hurry up! What are you standing there for? Your wife has been throwing up for ages, stop dawdling!"
Reminded by Jin Jinxiu, Qian Gui immediately sprang up from his chair as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and replied repeatedly, "Oh, okay, okay! I'll take my wife to the hospital right away!" After saying that, he carefully helped Wang Rui up, and the two hurriedly walked out.
Qian Duoduo sat on the sofa, her gaze fixed on Qian Gui's departing figure through the door, a smile involuntarily spreading across her face. She turned to Jin Jinxiu beside her and said with a grin, "Mother, look at how Qian Gui looked just now, didn't he look like a little eunuch by Empress Dowager Cixi's side?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu was taken aback at first, then turned her gaze to Qian Gui, who was walking away outside the door. After examining him closely, she couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Oh dear, now that you mention it, it really does look a bit like him! You child, all you ever think about are these strange and unusual things."
Hearing Jin Jinxiu's words, Qian Duoduo playfully stuck out her tongue, then stretched lazily, leaning back in her chair. She pouted and complained, "All I do all day is eat and sleep. I want to read, but you worry about hurting my eyes and absolutely won't let me. Tell me, what can I possibly do all day? All I can do is sit here and daydream!"
Jin Jinxiu shook her head helplessly and replied with a smile, "Alright, alright, Mom knows you're bored. But who told you to get pregnant with quadruplets all at once? If it were just one baby, Mom would have agreed to let you go to work at the company a long time ago. But look at your big, round belly now, those four little ones are making a ruckus inside you all day long, they're probably fighting each other to death!"
Before she could finish speaking, Qian Duoduo, who had been chattering away, suddenly changed her expression, clutched her abdomen tightly with both hands, and began to take deep, forceful breaths. She inhaled rapidly and exhaled slowly, repeating this several times.
Seeing this, Jin Jinxiu was terrified and hurriedly cried out, "Oh dear, my little darlings, please don't actually fight! Grandma was just saying that casually, she didn't mean it!"
Time ticked by, and after about a minute, the four noisy children finally quieted down. At this moment, Qian Duoduo looked at Jin Jinxiu and slowly said, "Mom, let's try to avoid saying things like that in the future! You don't know how much trouble that was for me just now; I felt so bad!"
Faced with the old maid's complaints, Jin Jinxiu just smiled slightly and replied nonchalantly, "Oh, my old maid! If you think about it this way, look at how lively they are, doesn't that just prove that the children are in great health and have all their limbs intact? And they're all very clever too!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo laughed and chimed in, "That's right! With Lu Yuan and me having such low IQs, how could we possibly have a silly child?"
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu immediately nodded in agreement: "Of course! You two are proper college students, you're really amazing!" Before she finished speaking, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Night fell, and the city lights began to twinkle. Qian Duoduo was already seated at the table, waiting. Jin Jinxiu had just brought out a large bowl of steaming, fragrant pork rib soup. Just as she turned to return to the kitchen, she suddenly saw Qian Gui carefully helping Wang Rui back into the house. Judging from their expressions, it seemed they had some good news to announce!
Qian Gui gently helped Wang Rui to a chair next to the dining table and then, without waiting for the right moment, he quickly picked up an empty bowl, filled it to the brim with hot soup, and respectfully handed it to her.
Upon seeing this, Jin Jinxiu immediately understood that Wang Rui was indeed pregnant. She happily patted Wang Rui's hand and asked, "How many months?"
Wang Rui said somewhat embarrassedly, "It's been less than two months. I've been too busy during this time and haven't paid attention to my body. I didn't even notice that my period hadn't come."
Upon hearing this, Jin Jinxiu immediately said, "How can that be? From now on, you also need to be careful. You can't overexert yourself, otherwise it won't be good for you or the baby. Although you are young, your body is different after all." As she spoke, she took out a notebook and handed it to Qian Gui, saying, "When Duoduo got married, Yuanzi specifically asked about many things pregnant women shouldn't do and precautions. Take a look when you have time. Now that living conditions are better, we naturally need to take good care of our bodies. Otherwise, we'll end up like us, with our legs becoming weak and uncomfortable when the weather changes!"
Qian Gui obediently reached out and took the stack of papers. He gently flipped through them, roughly counting them; there were only six or seven pages, not many. However, when his gaze fell on the handwriting, he couldn't help but secretly admire it—Lu Yuan's handwriting was truly beautiful!
Qian Gui sat beside her, head bowed, completely absorbed in the text, even forgetting that he had sat down at the table to eat with Wang Rui. He read each page with rapt attention, seemingly oblivious to everything around him; he had already finished reading all the pages.
He slowly put down the paper in his hand, let out a long sigh, and said, "Yuanzi's writing is quite detailed. I'll have to make a copy for myself later."
Hearing this, Wang Rui looked embarrassed and couldn't help but steal a glance at Qian Gui, only to find that he was focused and serious, not at all like he was joking. She lowered her voice and asked, "It can't be that bad, can it?"
Qian Gui replied with a serious expression, "I think it's great! Look, it even lists all the possible conditions that pregnant women may experience in the later stages of pregnancy. I'll look at it more often when I have free time, so that if you have any discomfort in the future, I'll know what to do and how to deal with it."
As soon as she finished speaking, Wang Rui's cheeks flushed instantly. She instinctively turned to look at Jin Jinxiu and Qian Duoduo, who were watching the spectacle unfold. Especially when she caught the teasing glint in Qian Duoduo's eyes, her face turned even redder, almost as if it were about to bleed. However, despite her embarrassment, Wang Rui still reached out and accepted the steaming bowl of bone broth from Jin Jinxiu, then lowered her head and silently took another large gulp.
The sweetness in my heart was beyond words!
