Chapter 807: 793, it seems that she is about to give birth (3) Chapter 807: 793, it seems that she is about to give birth (3) The cicada’s song atop the branches, a symbol of summer.

Time passed quietly, and Jian Qing’s belly grew ever bigger. By her eighth month, she couldn’t even see her own feet when she stood up. Quan Yifei would always exclaim in amazement at the sight of her belly and comment on how big it was. Quan Jingwu, almost every moment, stayed by her side, even forgoing trips to the company. Important documents were being delivered straight to their home by Shen Hao.

But the one who suffered the most was still Jian Qing. Her belly grew bigger day by day. The most uncomfortable times were at night when sleeping. Turning over in bed took a great deal of effort. Once she was over eight months pregnant, she even had difficulty breathing at night, and her legs would cramp and ache from time to time. When she couldn’t sleep well, Quan Jingwu, seeing her discomfort, found himself unable to sleep as well. He would oftentimes massage her legs or accompany her to stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows to breathe more easily.

All this trouble caused both of them to lose weight, and Jian Qing’s round chin had quickly become pointed again.

Weng Ya mentioned that carrying twins might lead to an earlier delivery than the due date, which made the Quan Family visit Shijin Haoting even more frequently, as if they might miss the birth of the children.

The elders of the Jian family, such as Jian Qing’s grandfather, had been even more dramatic. They flew back to Beijing from M Country and stayed from her eighth month of pregnancy. But this proved hard on Black Jack, with his beloved in Beijing and him in Y Country, having to fly back and forth frequently.

“Sis, why does your belly look even bigger?” Jian Luo, sitting on the sofa, looked at the person across him eating fruit and remarked with a click of his tongue.

He was just back from Y Country for a few days, and had the babies grown this much?

“Good nutrition,” Jian Qing said with a smile.

The old mansion sent a continuous supply of nutritious foods every day, and she was worried that the babies would grow too large, and what if she had a difficult labor.

“You also take it easy. Don’t over-nourish yourself; you’re so thin, and when the time comes, if the babies are too big, especially since there are two, it will be even harder to give birth,” Bai Jue said with a lazy smile, legs crossed.

“Carrying twins, you might even give birth earlier than expected, so it wouldn’t hurt to move around more.”

Jian Qing nodded, and just as she was about to take a bite of an apple, a sudden pain surged through her abdomen, making her inhale sharply with pain.

Hiss.

“What’s wrong?” Quan Jingwu, who had been keeping an eye on her the entire time, saw her frown and quickly supported her, asking anxiously.

“Is it time to give birth?”

Across from them, Jian Luo and Bai Jue, hearing his words, couldn’t help but roll their eyes.

Bro, can you come up with another line?

Jian Qing, in a soothing manner, held his hand, “The baby just kicked me, I’m fine.”

Quan Jingwu’s furrowed brows relaxed, and he gently stroked her belly with his large hand, a touch of a soon-to-be father’s authority flashed in his eyes, “Don’t you distress your mommy.”

Seeing Quan Jingwu act so childishly was something Jian Luo and the others had long since become accustomed to.

“Bai Jue, Luoluo told me you’re heading back to M Country tomorrow?” Jian Qing looked toward Bai Jue and asked.

Bai Jue nodded, “There’s some business at the Research Room I need to take care of. I’ll be back in a few days.”

Otherwise, the fools at his research lab might blow it up.

The group chatted and laughed, and before long, Grandpa Jian and Mo Xiao also arrived, making the living room even livelier.

After Bai Jue left, the following day Zhan Mingyan came to visit Jian Qing at Shijin Haoting, bringing with her a mountain of baby supplies.

Jian Qing, seeing the big and small packages in her hands, smiled helplessly, “Didn’t I tell you not to buy anymore? How did you end up with so much again?”

It looked like she wouldn’t have to buy these items for years to come.

“I just saw them and couldn’t resist, baby clothes are too cute,” Mingyan said as she placed the items aside and sat down opposite Jian Qing.

“Where’s Jingwu?”

Jian Qing, “Cooking. Did you enjoy your trip?”

“It was okay,” Mingyan replied with a smile, “just didn’t snag a handsome guy.”

Jian Qing chuckled lightly, “That’s truly a pity.”

Mingyan nodded gleefully, “Absolutely. By the way, have you arranged everything with the doctor? Are you planning to give birth in a Beijing hospital?”

“Yes,” she nodded.

“Remember to let me know, I’ll send red envelopes to the babies,” Zhan Mingyan said with a smile.

“I’ll definitely not forget your red envelopes,” Jian Qing joked.

“Haha, it looks like I need to work hard to make more money.”

“Are you coming back after this?”

“Not for a while, I’ll stay in Beijing for some time before deciding.”

“Haven’t figured out what you want to do yet?”

Zhan Mingyan propped up her chin and looked at her, tilting her head, “Maybe I’ll open a flower shop.”

The years spent with the troops were intense, always needing to be mentally alert, which was exhausting. The recent travels had relaxed her quite a bit.

Honestly, a simple leisurely life was not bad at all.

“As long as you’re happy,” Jian Qing said with a slight curve of her lips.

“That’s settled then. I’ve already found a location; I’ll hire someone to renovate it tomorrow,” Zhan Mingyan declared determinedly.

“Remember to support me when it opens.”

Jian Qing laughed softly, “Sure thing.”

Busy with finding someone to renovate her flower shop, Zhan Mingyan didn’t stay long before leaving.

…

The late-night breeze was cool, carrying away the day’s heat.

In bed, Jian Qing leaned against Quan Jingwu’s chest. He had one arm around her and held a storybook in his other hand, reading stories to the babies.

Jian Qing touched her swollen belly and suddenly remembered something. She looked up at Quan Jingwu, “Xiaojing, what pet names did you actually pick for the babies, hmm?”

She wasn’t worried about their official names, but she was really curious about their pet names.

He had previously named their little cotton jacket ‘Shanshan’, what pet names would he give to the two little princes?

“That curious?” Quan Jingwu paused reading the story, his eyes smiling as he looked at her.

“Mhmm.”

His response was the same as before, “It’s a secret.”

“Annoying, you’re such a miser,” Jian Qing said with feigned annoyance, glaring at him. She looked down at her belly that was scarily large and touched it, “Babies, your daddy is too stingy. You all need to come out soon and then help Mommy deal with your daddy together.”

Quan Jingwu laughed softly, his cool hand mussing up her hair.

“Three against one, wouldn’t that make me very pitiful, hmm?”

Jian Qing couldn’t help but laugh, “That’s what you get for always bullying me.”

“Have I bullied you, hmm?” Quan Jingwu reached out to tickle her, and Jian Qing collapsed laughing into his embrace, her hands trying to catch his, but he deftly avoided them.

“No, you haven’t bullied me… Haha… Stop it, that tickles so much.”

Quan Jingwu, “Too late.”

As they played and laughed, suddenly, Jian Qing’s face scrunched up, and waves of abdominal pain hit her. Her face turned pale in an instant.

“Xiaojing, I—I’m in so much pain.” She grabbed his hand, biting her lip, “It hurts so much…”

Quan Jingwu’s smile faded as he saw her pallid complexion, and every nerve in his body tensed up, “What’s wrong, where does it hurt?”

“I think I’m going into labor.” The pain didn’t go away as quickly as it had before; Jian Qing broke out in a cold sweat on her forehead and realized she might be going into labor prematurely.
