Qing Muye untied his apron, casually draped it over the chair, and walked to Meng Jingwei. He cupped her chin with his fingers, planted a gentle kiss on her forehead, and said, "It's good to have you here. I'm just afraid that if one day you leave me, I really won't be able to get used to it."
His words carried a hidden meaning.
Meng Jingwei pretended not to understand, pouting with an air of feigned arrogance, "Then you better take good care of me. Otherwise, who knows, one day I might get unhappy and leave you for someone else."
"If that's the case, then it's naturally my fault."
He leaned closer to her ear and said in a low voice, "It seems I'll need to work out more. Otherwise, if my strength isn't enough to 'take care' of my little girl, what then?"
Meng Jingwei: "...You old driver!"
"I've been driving since I was twelve, so calling me an 'old driver' is hardly an exaggeration."
"Pfft... Qing Muye, you're becoming more shameless by the day." Meng Jingwei laughed at his words.
"I won't tease you anymore. Aren't you going to find Shu Yao? Hurry up and go."
"There's no need to go. She's already on the plane."
"So soon?"
Qing Muye didn't think much of it.
His heart and eyes were full of Meng Jingwei; he didn't care about anyone else's affairs, nor did he give them any thought. "That's perfect, then. I'll take you to the hospital to check your throat."
"It's just a sore throat from anger. I'm not going."
She didn't have a sore throat at all. If she went to the hospital, wouldn't her lie be exposed?
Meng Jingwei got up and walked towards the bedroom, waving her hand. "You go to work. I want to sleep for a while at home. Otherwise, I won't have such comfortable days in the future."
"Then I'll stay with you."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
If he didn't leave, how could she go buy pregnancy tests?
"Why are you staying with me? I'm going to play with Chu Xue today. I can't let Chu Xue see me with you, can I?"
"You won't."
Meng Jingwei: "..."
Utterly speechless.
With no other choice, she called Chu Xue. "Hi, where are you?"
"You finally remember to call me? I thought you'd disappeared."
On the other end of the line, Chu Xue teased her playfully. "I asked you to go find Han Junyan with me, but you ditched me and came back by yourself."
"Hehehe, that was out of necessity. By the way, did you find Han Junyan?"
Meng Jingwei feigned ignorance.
She didn't want Chu Xue to know too much about the situation between her and Han Junyan. The more she knew, the worse it would be for her.
"I didn't see him, but I heard he's safe and sound."
"That's good then. Are you busy today? Want to go shopping together?"
"Sure. When?"
"I'll come find you later." Meng Jingwei arranged a time with Chu Xue.
Asking her to go shopping was a reluctant move.
Now that she was with Qing Muye, and he knew she was about to leave for devilish training for half a year, he cherished every moment they spent together even more.
Meng Jingwei just wanted to ask Qing Muye to buy pregnancy tests for her at a pharmacy to see if she was pregnant.
If she didn't ask someone to go out shopping, she wouldn't have any other excuse.
Half an hour later, Meng Jingwei successfully ditched Qing Muye and drove off to find Chu Xue.
On the way, she passed a pharmacy, stopped her car, and bought pregnancy tests. Fearing that one test might not be accurate, she bought five different brands and went to a nearby public restroom to test them all at once.
Five minutes later, seeing that all the pregnancy tests showed two pink lines, her heart sank.
Meng Jingwei felt uneasy and immediately called Chu Xue, making up an excuse about a sudden emergency that prevented her from going, thus standing her up.
She drove straight to the hospital, registered, and had an ultrasound.
After waiting for an hour, she successfully obtained her ultrasound results and sat before the gynecologist.
"Oh, dear, you're quite lucky. It's twins."
The doctor smiled happily at the results.
As a gynecologist, she understood the joy of having twins and knew that not everyone could conceive twins.
However, Meng Jingwei didn't want to have children right now.
She had been contemplating whether to keep the child if she became pregnant, especially since she had an abortion before. If she were to abort another child, it would be unfair to the child and irresponsible to herself.
To her surprise, when she saw the ultrasound results, it indicated twins.
At that moment, she felt as if the sky had fallen.
"Dear, have you decided which hospital you'll give birth in? If it's at our hospital, you can establish your medical record here and come in for prenatal check-ups later."
The doctor carefully reviewed the report. "The babies are all healthy, but with twins, you must be extra careful. Is your husband not accompanying you for the check-up?"
"He... hehe, he doesn't know yet. Thank you, doctor. I'll go back and discuss it with my husband first."
Meng Jingwei stood up, took the report from the doctor's hand, and walked out of the obstetrics and gynecology department.
Standing in the third-floor lobby, she looked down at the report in her hand, lost in thought for a long time, before finally throwing it directly into the trash can.
"Little Pepper?"
Suddenly, someone called out from behind her.
Meng Jingwei, lost in her own world, was completely consumed by the sudden news and didn't hear anything.
She entered the elevator and went downstairs.
Tang Si, who was walking from the other end of the corridor, rushed over but found that the elevator had already descended.
He wondered, "Did I see the wrong person?"
As he was puzzling over it, his gaze happened to fall on the examination report in the trash can.
Because the report wasn't entirely thrown in, half of it was still sticking out. Tang Si casually picked up the report, glanced at it, and saw the name 'Meng Jingwei' clearly written on it.
He casually scanned it and was utterly shocked. "Holy crap, twins? Whose damn babies are these?"
Hadn't she already broken up with second brother? And she managed to cheat on him so quickly?
No, that couldn't be right.
Meng Jingwei had called him a few days ago to question him about Qing Muye's situation. She shouldn't have cheated.
Could it be that these children were second brother's?
Tang Si pondered.
"Doctor Tang, Doctor Tang, why are you here?"
A nurse ran over to call Tang Si.
Tang Si slipped the ultrasound slip into his folder. "What is it?"
"My teacher asked me to call you over," the nurse told him.
Tang Si nodded and left with the nurse.
Meanwhile, after leaving the hospital, Meng Jingwei drove to the park and sat alone, lost in thought.
Since she had told Qing Muye she was going shopping with Chu Xue and wanted to keep their relationship a secret from Chu Xue, Qing Muye hadn't called Meng Jingwei.
Qing Muye was busy handling documents at the company when Tang Si's call came through. "Second brother, where are you?"
"At the company."
"Alright, wait for me. I'm coming to find you now."
After speaking, he hung up without giving Qing Muye a chance to reply.
He didn't think much of it and put his phone aside, continuing his work.
Half an hour later, Tang Si burst into the CEO's office and approached Qing Muye, banging on the desk. "Second brother, something big has happened!"
