Lu Huaijiao was earnestly trying to fall asleep.
Gu Changzheng also arrived outside Lu Zhengde's house under the cover of night. He looked at the wall in front of him, walked to the side, grabbed the wall with his hand, and pushed himself up onto the wall.
With nimble movements, it leaped into the yard...
…………
Lu Huaijiao finally fell asleep, but she had a nightmare. In her dream, she fell to the ground, lying there covered in blood.
Lu Zhengde, Qin Yanhua, Zhao Rui, and a few others stood at a distance with their arms crossed, looking at her with malicious smiles.
An unfamiliar old woman stood beside her, looking down at her with her foot on her stomach.
The babies in her belly were forced out by the old woman's foot, and they were two pink and tender little girls.
They called out "Mom!" as they walked towards Lu Huaijiao.
But the old woman kicked him away.
"Don't touch my child..."
Lu Huaijiao sat up in shock from her nightmare. The fear in the dream had soaked her clothes with sweat. She sat on the bed, wrapped in the blanket, her pale face covered in sweat and looking completely bewildered.
For a moment, I didn't know if I was dreaming or if it was real.
"young married woman……"
Gu Changzheng returned from outside and happened to hear Lu Huaijiao's voice. He quickly pushed open the door and walked towards the bed.
"Don't be afraid, honey, your husband is here."
The man stepped forward and embraced her.
Lu Huaijiao's clothes were soaked through, and she was held in Gu Changzheng's arms as if she had just been pulled out of the water.
Gu Changzheng was heartbroken and regretted not coming back sooner. Especially the little girl in his arms, whose clothes were soaked and whose body was still trembling slightly.
This made him feel even more heartbroken.
"Jiaojiao, baby, wife, don't be afraid, your husband is here with you. Don't be afraid, baby."
The man's constant comforting voice slowly brought Lu Huaijiao back to her senses. She raised her head, let go of her belly, and let Gu Changzheng touch her protruding stomach.
"Gu Changzheng, the child is safe and sound inside, right?"
As if in response to her words, when she took Gu Changzheng's hand and placed it on her protruding belly, the baby inside her suddenly moved.
The exercise, though not too strenuous, clearly conveyed a very specific message to them through their palms.
The children are doing well, and I even interact with them.
"Gu Changzheng..."
Lu Huaijiao looked at Gu Changzheng in disbelief, never expecting that the first fetal movement of her second child would come at this time.
Even though it wasn't her first time giving birth, Lu Huaijiao was still excited because of the first fetal movement of her second baby.
In her view, it was because her two considerate children didn't want to worry their mother, so they chose to interact with her.
How could she not be happy?
Gu Changzheng was also happy.
His precious daughter was moving, greeting them—how could anyone not be happy? Honestly, if it weren't the middle of the night, he would have wanted to shout out to express his joy.
"Wife... Jiaojiao, baby, was it... was it our daughter who greeted us just now?" Gu Changzheng was still a little incredulous, staring down at his palm, not wanting to blink.
That was the first time his precious daughter greeted him, her father. How could he bear to ignore it so quickly?
Of course I'd be reluctant to part with it!
Lu Huaijiao was also shocked that the baby greeted them in this way for the first time, but when she saw Gu Changzheng's dumbfounded look, she couldn't help but laugh.
The effects of the nightmare also vanished.
"What? Was it my belly moving by itself, not my daughter greeting me? This little rascal, keeping her mother awake in the middle of the night!"
As she spoke, she glanced at her stomach, and just then, her stomach moved again.
It felt like I'd been kicked by a small foot.
Then, it moved once, twice, three times, for a total of six times before stopping.
Lu Huaijiao: !!!
Gu Changzheng: !!!
The couple looked at each other, both stunned by the mischievous behavior of their unborn baby.
Is someone so lively and active really a daughter?
The young couple, who had always wanted a daughter, fell into deep self-doubt.
The baby in her belly had no idea that her excessive enthusiasm had led their parents to suspect that there were no girls among them.
Yes, although Lu Huaijiao and her family were wealthy and Gu Changzheng had connections at the hospital, they didn't check the baby's gender beforehand in order to preserve the surprise.
Otherwise, given their current relationship, they could easily find out the child's gender.
When Lu Huaijiao became pregnant, Gu Changzheng considered checking the baby's gender beforehand, but Lu Huaijiao refused.
She wanted to wait until the baby was born to reveal the surprise.
This is why they still can't determine whether the baby in her womb is a boy or a girl.
Because of the interaction between the child and them, the shadow of the nightmare was dispelled. Gu Changzheng went to find clean clothes for Lu Huaijiao to change into, while she told the man to get lost and go take a shower.
After I finish showering, I can tell her in detail how I put the burlap sack on Lu Zhengde's old woman.
Seeing Lu Huaijiao's expectant look, Gu Changzheng smiled faintly.
"You'll find out tomorrow, my wife."
The man deliberately kept everyone in suspense.
Lu Huaijiao glared at him disdainfully, but considering his desire to keep it a secret, she decided to wait until tomorrow.
"Let me tell you, I won't be happy if I don't get a satisfactory result tomorrow."
Lu Huaijiao spoke.
Gu Changzheng patted his chest and assured him.
"Don't worry, honey, I guarantee you'll be satisfied."
"Um?"
Although she had some doubts about what the scoundrel was saying, he had always been someone who didn't lie to her much, so she thought she'd reluctantly believe him.
After changing into clean clothes, she nestled obediently in the arms of the man who had just showered and still smelled of fresh soap, and slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Since becoming pregnant, especially as her belly grew bigger, Lu Huaijiao has rarely been able to sleep in late.
She opened her eyes not long after dawn.
I need to go to the toilet.
After using the restroom, I felt much better, so I slowly went back to change my clothes, washed up, and went out.
As soon as I stepped out of the room, I ran into Sanbao, who had also gotten up. They seemed to have just woken up not long ago and were still a little sleepy.
When they saw Lu Huaijiao come out, the three babies immediately came up and greeted her in their childish voices.
Good morning, Mom.
"Mommy, were my little sister and I good last night? Did they bother you?"
