Wen Xuanyuan was bored, scrolling through her phone. Checking the time, it was already half-past ten in the morning.
She quickly sent a message to Gong Zhijing, asking if she had arrived.
Unexpectedly, Gong Zhijing replied instantly.
"Arrived, at your doorstep."
Just as she finished reading the message, the doorbell rang. Her energy surged, and she said excitedly,
"Open the door, open the door, Zhijing is here."
Wen Mu rolled her eyes at her, annoyed. "Look how excited you are."
Saying that, she personally went to open the door.
Gong Zhijing stood at the door, holding gifts, waiting for it to open.
Seeing it was Wen Mu, she immediately nodded politely and greeted, "Hello, Auntie Wen."
Wen Mu smiled brightly and invited her in, being very warm.
"Xuanyuan has been mentioning you all morning; you're finally here."
Gong Zhijing handed the gifts she brought to Wen Mu and then walked inside.
"I missed Xuanyuan too."
Wen Xuanyuan had already jumped up from the sofa and was hopping towards Gong Zhijing, showing none of her earlier listless demeanor.
Seeing her like this, Wen Mu's heart skipped a beat. "My dearest, why are you running so fast?"
"Xuanyuan, slow down."
Gong Zhijing was also scared. After all, Wen Xuanyuan was carrying triplets now!
Wen Xuanyuan was forced to stop. She said guiltily, "I'm fine, I'll be careful myself."
In fact, she had forgotten she was pregnant.
The doctor had warned her long ago that her pregnancy was different from others; she was carrying triplets and needed to be three times more careful than others.
Wen Mu frowned, about to scold her again.
Gong Zhijing quickly said, "Xuanyuan didn't do it on purpose. She'll definitely remember from now on."
As she spoke, she also winked at Wen Xuanyuan.
Wen Xuanyuan immediately understood and apologized, "Mom, don't be angry. I won't do it again."
"You just never learn."
Wen Mu grumbled a few words and left.
Wen Xuanyuan and Gong Zhijing exchanged a smile and affectionately pulled each other to sit on the sofa.
"You're finally here. I haven't been out in so long; I'm bored to death."
"This is just the beginning!"
Gong Zhijing looked at her with a smile and said, "You're only one or two months in. You still have seven or eight months to go before you give birth, then confinement and breastfeeding..."
"Stop, stop, stop!" Wen Xuanyuan's head was spinning.
"Don't talk to me about that. Don't mention anything else, but breastfeeding, how is that possible? I have three babies but only two breasts, how can I feed them?"
Gong Zhijing hadn't thought of that. Hearing her say that, she couldn't help but burst into laughter.
"You have a point. I have no words to refute you."
Wen Xuanyuan touched her flat stomach and sighed, "Damn it, my life is about three. What if they are all daughters or all sons? What should I do?
I want daughters, and I want sons. It would be great if they were a dragon and phoenix set."
This was something Gong Zhijing didn't even dare to imagine. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and said coolly, "Be content. Three babies at once. If it were me, I'd have to give birth three times!"
"That's true."
Wen Xuanyuan instantly felt satisfied and said happily, "Three identical little daughters, how fun. Three cool sons would be nice too."
Gong Zhijing said faintly, "I suspect you're bragging, but I have no proof."
Wen Xuanyuan chuckled and hugged Gong Zhijing, laughing heartily, "It's okay. Anyway, our children will either marry into each other's families or be like brothers and sisters!"
"I can't possibly have as many children as you. You have them in batches. I have two after two births, you'd have six after two births..."
"Get lost! You're the one having them in batches!"
Gong Zhijing's arrival clearly made Wen Xuanyuan much happier. Before she knew it, she had eaten a whole large bowl of fruit.
"By the way, why haven't your brother and Xinyue returned yet?"
They had been there for most of the day, and she still hadn't seen Qiao Xinyue.
"Don't mention it. Those ungrateful things only know how to go out and play all day."
Wen Xuanyuan's tone was full of resentment.
"You say that, but didn't you also go on a trip and leave me at home?" Gong Zhijing said faintly.
"Uh, you were the one who wanted to take care of the kids."
Gong Zhijing glanced at her and said nothing.
"Okay, my bad. I'm the heartless one." Wen Xuanyuan said solemnly.
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
It was now past eleven o'clock.
The kitchen was bustling with activity.
Wen Mu and Wen Fu walked back and forth, seemingly busy, but it was unclear what they were doing.
Wen Han was constantly on the phone on the balcony, clearly busy with company matters.
As soon as the doorbell rang, everything stopped.
Wen Mu's face lit up with joy. "It must be Bowen and his parents. I'll go open the door."
Wen Fu's expression also became serious.
"Hurry, hurry," he said, standing up to greet them.
Meanwhile, Wen Han hung up the phone and walked towards the living room.
Wen Xuanyuan and Gong Zhijing also looked towards the door.
Wen Mu opened the door, and Wen Yan and Qiao Xinyue stood at the entrance.
Wen Yan felt incredibly honored to see his mother personally open the door.
"Mom."
The smile on Wen Mu's face instantly vanished, and she said with disdain, "Why is it you? Why didn't you bring your key?"
The change in expression was quite drastic!
Wen Yan said helplessly, "I forgot it."
Wen Mu didn't even look at him, then her expression changed again, her smile becoming even brighter.
"Xinyue is here! Come in quickly."
Saying that, she personally took Qiao Xinyue's hand and led her inside.
Wen Yan felt like his entire world was crumbling.
He was her biological son, after all!
But what happened next made him doubt himself even more. Before he could even enter, the door slammed shut with a bang.
He almost ran into it; wouldn't that ruin his face!
He quickly knocked on the door and shouted, "Hey, I haven't come in yet! Mom!"
Wen Mu had completely forgotten about him. It was Qiao Xinyue who reminded her, "Auntie, Wen Yan hasn't come in yet!"
"Really?" Wen Mu asked with a puzzled look, but quickly added dismissively, "It's fine. I'll open the door. You go sit on the sofa first. I'll have someone get you some water."
"Ding dong, ding dong."
The doorbell rang again.
Wen Mu said irritably, "What's the hurry? You didn't bring your own key."
Despite her words, she hurried towards the door.
She opened the door and was about to scold them when her expression turned to surprise.
"Oh my, Bowen is here! Quickly, come in, all of you."
Wen Mu pushed Wen Yan aside and then welcomed Li Bowen and his parents inside.
"Hello, Auntie."
Wen Bowen held two bouquets of flowers and handed the carnations directly to her.
"This is for you. You've worked hard."
Wen Mu was genuinely surprised. Her own son had never given her flowers!
"You child, you're so thoughtful."
Li Mu, Bai Shiman, smiled and said, "It's only right. We'll be family from now on."
"Yes, yes, please come in quickly."
Wen Mu, holding the flowers, was beaming with joy.
The group entered one after another. Wen Mu instinctively reached to close the door again, but this time it was blocked.
Wen Yan's face contorted in pain, as he was blocking the door with his foot, otherwise, he would have been locked out again.
