"You might not know this, but there's only one convenience store in the hospital. I bet there's a line there right now," I lied through my teeth.
Chen Shufen patted her belly and smiled, "I'm already done with my prenatal checkup, and he's still not ready. Let's not bother buying it at the hospital. It's the same outside."
"Okay, I'll send him a message on WeChat." I sent a WeChat message and shared my location with Beichen. No matter where we went, he could follow the location information to find us.
Just as the three of us reached the hospital entrance,
Beichen caught up to us, "I've got the chocolate."
"One piece for the boss lady, one for Yuanyuan," Xiao Li broke a large piece of chocolate into two equal parts.
I was just feeling hungry and wanted something sweet. The moment I got it, I took a big bite.
Beichen whispered in my ear, "I've stopped it."
"Hmm," I responded.
Xiao Li leaned in to eavesdrop, but noticed me glancing sideways at her.
She touched her nose, "Hehe, I'm just curious, I always feel like you two are on some secret mission and you're leaving me out."
"I'll tell you when we get back." I felt there was no need to keep this from Xiao Li.
It's just that I don't think Chen Shufen has the capacity to handle it, and it's not good for someone pregnant to know.
Xiao Li nodded profusely.
On the way, Xiao Li and I couldn't keep our hands off the boss lady's belly.
Chen Shufen was carrying twins, and although it wasn't far along, her belly was already big.
She was so pregnant she moved with difficulty, but I was filled with joy and envy—caressing her belly several times on the taxi ride back.
To have both a boy and a girl at once, twins at that,
really made others envious.
In my mind, I even entertained the thought of Yu Longting's words about having a second child.
Then my face felt hot—I wasn't even married to Yu Longting yet.
How could I shamelessly consider having a second child?
Beichen drove us back to the restaurant.
Just as we got out of the car and were walking on the sidewalk,
a woman in sunglasses darted out from the side.
There was a heavy air of hostility about her, clearly trouble, and she aimed straight for Chen Shufen's belly, looking like she wanted to knock her over like a bull.
My reflexes kicked in to shield Chen Shufen; I reached out to block the woman's charge, "Who are you... What do you want? Rushing out like that, what if you had hit someone?"
"Move aside, I need to speak with Chen Shufen," the woman shoved me away and confronted Chen Shufen, "I heard Master Chen is back in Spring Wind Town, why didn't you tell me? I've been looking for you every day, begging you every day just to have a word with the master. How could you be so unkind, not to mention it at all when she returned to town!"
"If you need help from Master Chen, can't you be a little more polite? With that attitude, no ghost would help you." Xiao Li supported me as I staggered, preventing me from falling off the curb and glared angrily at the woman.
Beichen had also parked the car and came over, his presence was intimidating.
The woman paused, looking at Beichen with some surprise, "Is it you? The undercover cop who exposed the fake earlier? The one who busted those two sneaking surveillance equipment into the Jade Pendant from Northern Entertainment...?"
Then it clicked for me—this woman in the coat and sunglasses was Han Dai.
After Beichen had found Han Dai in the hospital, he lied about being an undercover cop.
This lowered Han Dai's guard, and since the two men delivering the hook jade were paparazzi, she took Beichen's advice and didn't accept the paparazzi's item.
At this moment, I took a careful look at Han Dai with my Spiritual Eye and indeed, she was pregnant with a one-and-a-half-month-old fetus.
Back when I was at Lin Wanyan's place, I didn't pay enough attention to realize she was pregnant.
Despite being barraged with accusations, Chen Shufen wasn't angry. Instead, she stepped out from behind Beichen to explain to Han Dai, "I was planning to let you know after my prenatal checkup was done."
