Chapter 710: Chapter 708: Two Daughters_1

He listened to the morning’s lessons in a daze, and then it was time for lunch.

Today, the cafeteria made spinach stir-fried with shrimp again.

Seeing the spinach, Chuanchuan instinctively frowned.

Then he said subconsciously, "Cheng Youyou, after you’ve picked out the spinach, don’t eat it yourself, just throw it away. If the teacher says anything, tell her I don’t mind..."

After he finished speaking, there was no response from the empty space across from him for a long time.

Chuanchuan paused, and only then did he belatedly realize that she... had already left...

Never again would there be a silly little girl picking out spinach for him, scared of being scolded by the teacher, pretending to like spinach as she forced herself to eat it even though she also hated it.

At that thought, a wave of sadness welled up in Chuanchuan’s heart.

At this moment, a pair of chopsticks reached over and started picking out the spinach from his plate, one by one.

"Youyou, you..." He exclaimed, standing up abruptly with a childish face full of surprise, his eyes shining as he smiled and stared at the person opposite him.

However, when he saw who it was, the surprise on his face instantly solidified, and then turned into profound disappointment.

It wasn’t Youyou.

How could someone who had already left possibly come back?

Chuanchuan placed a hand over his heart, took a deep breath, and adjusted his mindset before sitting down again.

"I’m sorry, it’s me, I got your hopes up for nothing." Across from him, Jiang Qingchen looked up apologetically at him.

Indeed, it wasn’t someone else, but Miaomiao’s adopted brother, Jiang Qingchen, who was picking out his spinach.

Chuanchuan couldn’t help but ask, "Chen, how did you know I don’t eat spinach?"

He didn’t remember ever telling him that.

Jiang Qingchen glanced at the spinach before lifting his head to answer, "It was Cheng Youyou who told me."

Then, under his puzzled gaze, he continued to explain, "Yesterday afternoon after school, she found my class and told me she was leaving. Then she asked me to take good care of you. The fact that you don’t like spinach was something she told me."

"I promised her I would take good care of you in kindergarten."

Jiang Qingchen recounted.

"She... she did all that!" Chuanchuan’s heart felt as if it was struck hard, pain making his tears well up instantly. He trembled lightly, letting the tears fall.

This silly girl, even though he was so mean to her, she was so good to him!

"Don’t cry, little brother Chuanchuan." Jiang Qingchen saw him like this, and his own heart was heavy, quickly pulling out a tissue to wipe away his tears.

As he wiped, he comforted him, "Cheng Youyou cares about you so much, she would definitely not want you to be sad every day. Promise me, you won’t be sad anymore, okay?"

Chuanchuan tilted his head back, trying to hold back his tears, "Yeah, I won’t be sad anymore. I don’t want to make Youyou sad. I don’t want to make my family sad either, especially Mom and Grandpa. My mom is pregnant now. If she’s sad, the baby will be sad, and the baby is so fragile if it’s sad it might disappear. And great-grandpa, he’s old, if he’s sad, he might disappear too."

"Disappear, you understand? Not like Youyou, who is just temporarily gone, but completely gone," Chuanchuan added.

Jiang Qingchen nodded, his gaze mature beyond his years, "I know, that kind of disappearance means dying, leaving this world forever."

Children who grow up in an orphanage mature early; how could they not know the meaning of this word?

"Yeah, that’s what I mean," Chuanchuan said.

Then he perked up, took big bites of his meal, and said, "So, I won’t be sad anymore. I still have to wait for my brother and sister to be born, and I also want my great-grandpa to live for many more decades."

"Do you want a brother or a sister?" Jiang Qingchen changed the subject.

Without even thinking, Chuanchuan replied, "Definitely a sister."

Sisters are so nice, sweet and soft, they inspire a desire to protect.

"With Aunt Xia and Mr. Lu’s good looks, I believe your sister will definitely be very cute!" said Jiang Qingchen.

"That’s for sure! My sister will definitely be the most beautiful girl in the world!" Talking about this, Chuanchuan’s heart turned into a soft cotton ball.

Jiang Qingchen saw his sister-obsessed appearance and couldn’t help but laugh.

He really was just like him!

Xia Ningxing’s belly gradually swelled up like a balloon, and today she was going for another prenatal checkup, where they would also find out the sex of the baby.

There were no restrictions on sex determination, so it was still possible to check.

Lying on the examination bed, the cool instrument moved back and forth over her belly.

This time, Aunt Lu was the one conducting Xia Ningxing’s checkup.

During the examination, she suddenly widened her eyes and exclaimed, "Oh!?"

"Auntie, what’s wrong?" Her surprised voice immediately gave Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli a big scare, and the two of them, anxious and in unison, asked.

Especially Xia Ningxing, her heart was in knots, eyebrows furrowed, and she was so anxious she was sweating profusely, "Auntie, is there a problem with the baby, please speak?"

Although she had already taken her own pulse earlier and deduced that the baby should be fine, she couldn’t be completely certain. After all, if the baby had any chromosomal abnormalities or developmental issues, those are difficult to detect through pulse diagnosis.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with the child, nothing at all," Aunt Lu quickly reassured the anxious couple.

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli then let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Then why did you get so alarmed just now?"

With excitement, Aunt Lu said, "Because... there’s an extra gestational sac! It’s so strange, how did we not realize this during the previous checkups!"

"An extra gestational sac?" Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but be stunned.

Double gestational sacs, doesn’t that mean she was carrying twins?

"You mean, I’m carrying twins?" Xia Ningxing excitedly confirmed.

"Yes! Twins!" Aunt Lu nodded affirmatively and added, "And both of them are girls!"

"Girls... girls!" Hearing these words, Lu Tingli rushed over to the ultrasound machine, staring intently at the images, even though he didn’t quite understand them, but that didn’t stop his ecstatic joy.

Not only did he have daughters!

But he suddenly had two!

"Ningxing, you’re actually carrying twins, and they’re both girls!" Lu Tingli was both shocked and overjoyed, his heart pounding so hard it felt like it was about to leap out of his throat, feeling like this was the happiest moment of his life.

He held Xia Ningxing tightly and earnestly in his arms, as if she was the most precious thing in the world.

Xia Ningxing nestled into his chest, her heart also brimming with deep joy, "Lu, now you’re also a man with daughters!"

"And not just one daughter but two!" Lu Tingli completed the sentence!
