1229 Side Story 8: Twins
This year, Old Master Lu had thought of bringing Ah Li back to the Lu family home for the Spring Festival.
However, with news of her pregnancy, Old Master Lu waved his hand and decided that she should stay in Hong Kong City so that the baby would be taken care of!
The next day after receiving the news, Fang Yunyi and Old Master Lu flew to Hong Kong City.
Along with them, they brought all kinds of gifts that almost filled the entire room.
Shen Li’s physical condition was very good. Even her morning sickness was not that serious so she had advised them several times not to do this.
However, no one listened to her.
Therefore, she had no choice but to stay in Hong Kong City.
…
In the quiet room, the sound of typing rang out.
The sun shone through the window and onto her face, making her skin look even more fair and clear. Her eyes were dark and calm.
Lu Huaiyu walked over with his suit jacket slung over his arm.
“Ah Li.”
His eyes swept across the computer screen.
“It’s time to go.”
Without even turning her head, Shen Li merely nodded.
“Okay, right away. Just let me finish processing this data first.”
She was scheduled to go for a pregnancy test today.
Lu Huaiyu raised his eyebrows before reaching out to close the laptop.
Shen Li raised her head and looked at him, “Second Brother?”
Lu Huaiyu smiled.
“I’ll handle this data, or…”
Shen Li immediately stood up.
“I’ll go and change my clothes now!”
Lu Huaiyu did not need to make his words any clearer for her to know what he meant.
Either he would do it, or Shen Zhijin would do it.
At first, she had thought that she was doing well in all aspects and would continue to do whatever she should do, but it was obvious that she was the only one who thought so.
Previously, when she had worked until 11 o’clock at night to process the data, not only had Lu Huaiyu confiscated her computer, but he had also complained about it to Shen Zhijin the next day.
Then–
Shen Zhijin merely said one sentence: She was to transfer the rest of the work to him.
She could not forget the calm and distant expression on his face at that time.
It was truly…
So much so that she did not want to experience it a second time. After Lu Huaiyu’s warning, she immediately got up obediently.
She quickly changed her clothes.
“Second Brother, let’s go.”
Lu Huaiyu held her hand.
…
It was almost the Spring Festival, and decorations had already begun to be set up on both sides of the street. The streets were full of people, and it was very lively.
At this time of the year, the Lu family was always very busy.
Old Master Lu and Fang Yunyi had stayed here for more than a week and only left the day before after being urged many times by various parties.
Shen Li looked at the scenery outside the window and blinked her eyes. She turned to look at Lu Huaiyu.
“Second Brother, I actually thought that I would be spending the New Year with the Lu family this year.”
However, the plan could not keep up with the changes.
Not only had she not expected that she would have to stay in Hong Kong City again this year, but she would also be carrying a little one in her belly.
“Fengmian will come in a few days.”
At the end of the year, Lin Fengmian usually had a lot of jobs.
In fact, it had been a few years since the two of them had been able to spend a satisfactory New Year together.
It was one thing during the time he had been a trainee abroad. However, upon his return to China, he had worried that exposing their relationship would bring her a lot of unnecessary trouble, so he had been very careful.
Each time, he would either come early or late, which was the only time he could find the time to meet her and have a meal together.
However, it was different this year.
He had specifically postponed all his appointments before and after the Spring Festival to make preparations to go to Hong Kong City.
“But if that’s the case, then the people in the Capital will be…”
“Don’t worry,” Lu Huaiyu’s thin lips curled up slightly. “My eldest brother will be spending the Spring Festival at home this year. He’s taken a long leave so he’ll probably be staying for a long time.”
“Really?”
Shen Li was surprised.
Lu Yuxiao was usually either on a mission or on the road to a mission all year round. Comparatively speaking, the army could be said to be his home.
This time…
Lu Huaiyu chuckled.
“Grandpa has given an uncontestable order for him to come back and be set up on blind dates. They’ve been lined up from the twelfth lunar month to the first lunar month.”
“…”
Shen Li silently swallowed her words in her mouth.
She thought that Old Master Lu had already given up on this idea…
As if guessing her thoughts, Lu Huaiyu’s gaze fell on her lower abdomen, and a smile flitted across his lips.
A little baby was already here, but there was not even a shadow of a girlfriend on his brother’s end. It would be strange if the old man were not anxious.
…
Half an hour later, at the Gu family’s private hospital.
Shen Li asked, “Two gestating sacs?”
The doctor was a woman in her forties with a gentle smile.
“That’s right, Miss Li, Second Master Lu. Congratulations.”
Shen Li did not react for a long time.
That was until Lu Huaiyu walked over and leaned over to look into her eyes.
He held her hand with one hand and placed the other on her flat stomach.
“Two little candies?”
He looked at her steadily, and something seemed to be surging in his deep eyes.
After a long time, he kissed the back of her hand and chuckled.
“Ah Li, thank you.”
…
At the Gu residence.
Gu Siqi and Gu Sicheng were overjoyed.
“Twins! Cousin is pregnant with twins!”
Gu Siyang was excited.
“It’s the same as us!”
Gu Tingchuan, who had just reached the door, looked over and squinted his eyes.
“What do you mean by the same as you?”
These two were boys, those two would be girls. In what way would they be the same?
The two brothers nodded in agreement.
Oh, right!
“I’m going to be an uncle! Hahahaha!”
Gu Siqi thought of something and patted Gu Sicheng’s shoulder.
“Oh right! Those dolls that we had before will have to be replaced!”
Gu Sicheng nodded vigorously at first, but then he felt a headache coming on.
“Ah, but a few of them are no longer being produced worldwide and only one was produced!”
“What’s so difficult about that?”
Gu Siqi shouted at Gu Tingchuan, “Dad!”
…
“Yes, we’ll keep the one we previously chose for now and find another pair of the same kind, preferably twins.”
Gu Tinglan was on the phone in the living room on the first floor. He said in a gentle tone, “Okay, try to choose as many as you can. I’ll go over to make my selections in a few days.”
Gu Tingfeng and Gu Tingyun were sitting on the sofa beside him.
Gu Tingfeng picked up the teacup with one hand and blew on it. He then looked up at Gu Tingyun, who was sitting opposite him and clicked his tongue.
“Ah, although the villas next to each other are still there, the decor is different. I think they’ll have to be changed in the future. Not like you, Third Brother! It’s an amusement park where it doesn’t matter if one child or two children can play. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.”
Gu Tingyun smiled.
“Yes, thank you for your concern, Big Brother.”
Gu Tingfeng sipped his tea in satisfaction.
“No, no, it’s only right!”
Gu Tingyun’s phone rang. He glanced at it before picking it up.
“Hello,” he said.
Gu Tingyun did not know what the other party was saying, but after listening for a while, he said in a gentle voice, “I think it’ll be better if it’s a ski resort. The weather in Hong Kong City is warm, and they will probably like it in the future. Hmm, just let me have the blueprint later and I’ll let Ah Li choose.”
Pfff-!
Gu Tingfeng spat out his mouthful of tea.
“Third brother!”
…
The Capital.
Fang Yunyi sat up straight with an elegant posture.
The store managers sitting opposite her were all shocked.
“You want doubles of everything?”
Fang Yunyi nodded.
“Yes.
“Also, prepare the things that were previously listed as soon as possible and send them to Hong Kong City.”
That was meant for Ah Li alone.
A store manager asked hesitantly, “Then, the parent-child matching sets you ordered earlier…”
Fang Yunyi revealed a bright smile.
“Just double all of them.”
