Seeing Shen Mingzhu staring at her belly, Zhong Qing smiled gently, "You found out."
Shen Mingzhu was surprised and happy, "You have a baby? How many months old?"
Zhong Qing gently stroked her slightly pregnant belly, "It's been three months."
"Congratulations!"
"Thanks."
Shen Mingzhu helped Zhong Qing get into the car, "Let's talk in the car, don't get tired."
"Um."
From the moment she got in the car, Shen Mingzhu had been talking nonstop, wishing she could cram all her pregnancy experiences into Zhong Qing's head.
After she finished speaking, Zhong Qing explained the reason for hiding it from her, "My pregnancy didn't look very good, and the elders said that it had to be kept secret for the first three months, so they didn't tell you in advance."
Shen Mingzhu nodded in understanding, "That's true. It doesn't matter, as long as you and the baby are fine."
Zhong Qing smiled and said, "It's stable now."
"That's good, do you want a boy or a girl?"
Zhong Qing smiled and asked, "Why do we have to make a choice?"
Shen Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then she realized, "You're pregnant with twins? Did you do IVF?"
Zhong Qing admitted it frankly.
Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but sigh: "It's great, being pregnant with twins at once means I can avoid the pain of pregnancy and childbirth once more."
Zhong Qing doesn’t feel that being pregnant is painful. Compared to the hellish days in the past, she feels very happy and blessed now.
"Mingzhu, do you want to be the children's godmother?"
Shen Mingzhu was flattered, "No, you are all from a prestigious family, an ordinary person like me is not worthy."
Zhong Qing didn't force him, "Whenever you want, we can do it anytime."
Shen Mingzhu was so touched that she said, "Then I will work hard to earn a decent fortune and be worthy of being the children's godmother."
Zhong Qing smiled, "I believe you can do it."
When she got home in the evening, Shen Mingzhu began to rummage through the drawers.
"What are you looking for?"
Pei Yang got off work early today and saw her looking for something, so he casually expressed his concern.
"I'm looking for the little clothes that Guoguo wore before she turned one year old. I remember putting them all in the closet, but I can't find them."
"What are you looking for that for?"
Shen Mingzhu wiped the sweat from her forehead and said, "Qingqing is pregnant. I plan to give her Guoguo's old clothes."
Old clothes are soft, close-fitting and breathable, making them very suitable for newborn babies.
There is also a saying that newborns are easier to raise and less likely to get sick if they wear patchwork clothes.
For Shen Mingzhu, the small clothes her daughter wore are a kind of memory and nostalgia. When other relatives came to ask for them before, she was reluctant to give them away.
"Zhong Qing is pregnant?"
Seeing the man's mouth almost stretched to his ears, Shen Mingzhu couldn't help but wonder, "Qingqing is pregnant, why are you so happy?"
He was naturally happy.
Yan Yi and Zhong Qing have even had a baby, so he won’t have to keep an eye on his wife in the future.
Naturally, he would not tell Shen Mingzhu about this secret thought.
"I'll help you find it."
Pei Yang was particularly active and turned the bedroom upside down, and finally found the old clothes in the closet in Pei Ke's room.
When Shen Mingzhu was tidying up her closet, she put her daughter's old clothes there and forgot about it for a moment.
Peck hadn't returned at that time. That room was a guest room, which was usually unoccupied and the closet was always empty.
…
Yan family.
On the sofa in the living room, Mother Yan held Zhong Qing's hand warmly, asking about her well-being and showing great concern.
The strict father's face no longer had the usual seriousness, and he looked a little more amiable.
Yan's mother and Zhong Qing stopped talking and looked at the father and son.
"No."
After hearing this, Yan's mother immediately patted the back of Zhong Qing's hand in comfort, "Don't worry too much, we will continue to help find people. Your parents will also be relieved if they know that you and Xiaoyi have a child."
Zhong Qing's eyebrows showed a hint of sadness, but she was also strong. "Mom, don't worry. I know what is important and I won't let anything go wrong for the children."
Yan's mother praised: "You are right to think so."
The strict father also showed admiration in his eyes, "Qingqing, I will let Xiaoyi go all out to track down your parents, no matter how many connections and resources it takes."
"Thank you, Dad."
When I came out of Yan's house, the housekeeper had already parked the car at the door.
The two got in the car and drove away from Yan's house.

"I'm sorry. Because of my family's affairs, I have caused you to help me deceive my uncle and aunt."
"I was willing to help you in the first place, so I was prepared to bear the consequences."
Zhong Qing said: "I will get this matter over with as soon as possible."
Yan Yi pondered for a moment and said, "There's no need to be so anxious. The presence of Uncle Zhong and Aunt Zhong will also intimidate your uncles. Once this intimidation disappears, you three siblings may not be their opponents."
Zhong Qing sneered, "I don't care about these things. I can just give them to them."
Yan Yi: "With your status as the eldest daughter-in-law of the Yan family, they dare not touch you easily."
Zhong Qing was silent.
This is also the reason why she chose to cooperate with Yan Yi.
She doesn't need a man, let alone love, so she doesn't mind that Yan Yi has other women in his heart.
What she cared about from the beginning to the end was Yan Yi's identity and background.
Yan Yi is also very clear about this.
He needed a wife who would satisfy his parents and family, and Zhong Qing was a good fit.
It's not that one is taking advantage of the other, but rather it is a mutually beneficial and win-win cooperation.
The car arrived at the door of the Zhong family. Before Zhong Qing got out of the car, Yan Yi handed her a bank card.
Facing Zhong Qing's puzzled look, Yan Yi explained: "Being pregnant and having a child is not an easy thing for a woman. There is nothing I can do to help. This is the only thing I can do."
"I have saved some money on the card for your expenses during your pregnancy. I will transfer a sum of money to the card every year for your and the baby's living expenses."
Zhong Qing smiled and replied: "It's okay. On the contrary, I want to thank you for helping me fulfill my dream of becoming a mother."
Although she has no expectations for love and men, she really hopes to have a child of her own.
Yan Yi put the bank card in her hand and said, "Take it. As the biological father of the child, I have the responsibility and obligation to fulfill it."
Zhong Qing no longer refused.
"When is the next prenatal checkup?"
"Next Wednesday."
"I'll pick you up then."
"Well, bye."
After watching her enter the Zhong family’s gate, Yan Yi started the car and left.
…
"Boss Shen, Sister Hui is here and she wants to see you for something."
Shen Mingzhu was screening the recruitment materials for new employees for the restaurant branch. When she heard Pei Qiuxia's report, she was unable to react for a while.
"Which Sister Hui?"
Pei Qiuxia whispered, "The one from Brother Zhao's family."
Shen Mingzhu rubbed her brows and said, "Ask her to go to the reception room."
After Pei Qiuxia left, Shen Mingzhu finished the work at hand and then went to the reception room to see Zhou Hui. (End of this chapter)
