Chapter 508: Chapter 508 I’m Afraid You’ll Grow Apart_1

On the fifth of the first lunar month.

An Jing invited Shi Xiaolan over to her house for a meal.

With An Jing’s belly getting bigger and Shi Xiaolan being a guest, it was naturally Xiao Changyi who did the cooking again.

While Xiao Changyi busied himself alone in the kitchen, An Jing and Shi Xiaolan were in the courtyard, cracking sunflower seeds and chatting away.

Shi Xiaolan also held Niuniu in her arms, while Yu Yu sat obediently on a small stool, munching on candy cakes.

The weather was nice; the sun was strong but not scorching, bathing everyone in a warmth that was especially comfortable.

Shi Xiaolan looked at An Jing’s belly, more amazed the more she looked, ”You really are carrying twins, aren’t you? You’re not even five months pregnant yet, and your belly is as big as mine was when I was six or seven months into carrying Niuniu.”

Touching her own stomach, An Jing spoke with utmost happiness, ”I didn’t expect to have twins either. It wasn’t until I was more than three months pregnant that the doctor confirmed it.”

Shi Xiaolan said enviously, ”I had to go through two births to have two children, but you, on the other hand, are having twins in one go.”

”Hehe, my husband is quite impressive, isn’t he?”

Immediately, Shi Xiaolan’s face turned red, and she scolded with a laugh, ”You have no shame!”

An Jing feigned innocence, ”I didn’t say anything, why are you reacting like that?”

”You—!” Shi Xiaolan felt both embarrassed and annoyed, but since An Jing was pregnant, she couldn’t just touch her for fear of causing trouble. If An Jing hadn’t been pregnant, she would have definitely given An Jing a couple of playful punches.

Seeing Shi Xiaolan glaring at her, An Jing quickly offered a smile, ”Alright, don’t be angry. Have some candy cake. Yu Yu is about to finish hers. If you don’t eat now, there won’t be any left.”

Shi Xiaolan let go of her annoyance and didn’t reach for the candy cake, instead, she sighed, ”An Jing, you really have seen the light at the end of the tunnel.”

An Jing laughed, ”What light at the end of the tunnel? Since I met my husband, I haven’t suffered at all.”

Shi Xiaolan nodded and glanced at the person busy in the kitchen before saying enviously, ”It’s not in vain that you suffered so much in the past. All your good fortune has accumulated here. You’ve met Brother Xiao, such a good husband, and now you’re blessed with children too.”

An Jing didn’t speak but just looked towards the kitchen with a face full of happiness.

Shi Xiaolan also took another glance at the person in the kitchen, then in a lowered voice asked An Jing, ”An Jing, there’s something I’ve always wanted to ask you.”

”What is it, making it sound so mysterious?” An Jing was curious.

Shi Xiaolan glanced once more at the person in the kitchen, her voice even lower, ”Does Brother Xiao mind that this child you’re carrying might be two daughters?”

An Jing immediately laughed, turning the question back, ”When he knew I couldn’t have children and still resolutely came into my family, do you think he would mind if I this time carried two daughters?”

Upon hearing An Jing’s response, Shi Xiaolan knew that Xiao Changyi didn’t mind and instantly felt relieved, ”As long as Brother Xiao doesn’t mind, that’s good. You two are husband and wife. If he cared about this matter, I was afraid it might cause a rift between you.”

An Jing found it even more amusing, ”Why do you also think that I am carrying twin girls?”

”You’ve become even more beautiful!” Shi Xiaolan immediately said. ”There’s an old saying, ’a beautiful daughter makes a radiant mother, an ugly son makes a haggard mother.’ Everyone thinks you’ll have twin girls. You’re carrying twins, something many people have never seen before, so of course, everyone was really envious, but as your complexion became even better, they knew you were having girls and weren’t so envious anymore.”

An Jing touched her own exceptionally smooth and delicate face, feeling both comfortable and finding the situation amusing and slightly exasperating, ”Xiao Lan, let me say something, but don’t get angry.”
