Chapter 558: Chapter 557: Mass Release 37

"What? Nanxi, what are you saying?" Elder Master Jin’s ears perked up as he looked at Jin Nanxi, his old face trembling with excitement. "What did you say Niannian is carrying?"

Jin Nanxi, unaware that she had accidentally let something slip, looked at the elder, confused. "Niannian is pregnant with a baby, what else would it be if not a baby— a puppy?"

She thought the elder’s question was very bewildering.

The elder felt like smacking Jin Nanxi on the head with a cane. "You said Niannian is carrying twins, is that true? Who told you that?"

"Ah, Dad, how did you know?" Jin Nanxi looked at the elder in surprise, feeling that Elder Master Jin had an incredibly wide reach and somehow nothing could escape his control.

Elder Master Jin was now anxious to know the answer, and just when Jin Nanxi suddenly acted foolishly, he couldn’t hold back and finally brought a cane down on Jin Nanxi’s back.

"Don’t you play dumb with me, didn’t you tell me this?"

Jin Nanxi was initially stunned by the hit, then remembered and exclaimed, "Ah, I let it slip."

"Be honest with me, what’s going on, what do you mean you let it slip? You mean I, your father, shouldn’t know?"

Jin Nanxi chuckled nervously, "Dad, calm down, no need to get worked up, if I say it, that’s it."

Now that the cat was out of the bag, Jin Nanxi no longer kept up the pretense and her face gradually took on a lecherous grin.

As she was about to speak and conjure up the mood,

the elder suddenly said, "Don’t give me that lecherous smile."

Jin Nanxi: "... Dad, are you going to listen or not?"

"Speak up, speak up."

The elder couldn’t wait to know what was going on.

Then Jin Nanxi told him everything she knew.

To prevent the elder from thinking that she and Xu Niannian were not taking him into account, she quickly explained, "Dad, don’t be mad, we didn’t mean to hide it from you, it’s just that the doctor’s answer differed from Old Wu’s diagnosis, and we also feared that Old Wu might have made a mistake, which could lead to a false celebration."

The elder was silent for a long while after hearing this.

Jin Nanxi thought the elder might be fuming with anger and worriedly called out again, "Dad, you don’t have to..."

Elder Master Jin gazed at her deeply, and Jin Nanxi instinctively fell silent.

Gradually, a lecherous smile crept onto the elder’s face. "You said Niannian is carrying twins?"

Jin Nanxi: "... Old Wu said so."

The elder kept on smirking lecherously. "Does that mean I have two great-grandchildren?" His voice rose inflectively, his smile becoming increasingly lecherous.

Jin Nanxi felt awkward: "Dad, don’t smile at me like that, it’s scary."

"Go, go where it’s cool and stay there." Elder Master Jin’s expression changed effortlessly.

After confirming that Xu Niannian was carrying twins, the elder’s chin rose noticeably, and he stood up with hands clasped behind his back, looking down upon Jin Nanxi. "Did Niannian ever tell you, do her grandparents know about this?"

"They probably don’t, Niannian said it’s better to wait until the birth since we aren’t certain."

So, the elder’s chin rose even higher, and he walked out with a spring in his steps.

Seeing him dash outside, Jin Nanxi asked hurriedly. "Dad, where are you going?"

"To Uncle Xu’s house."

Jin Nanxi couldn’t help thinking, is he off to show off?

Clearly understanding her own father, Jin Nanxi knew for sure that the elder was going to boast.

Who wouldn’t if they got the news earlier than everyone else?

Nanny Zhao looked at Jin Nanxi and asked, "Third Miss, shall we wake Niannian up? She hasn’t had breakfast yet."

"Ah?" Jin Nanxi had thought Xu Niannian had gone back to sleep in, but didn’t realize she hadn’t even had breakfast.

Pregnant women shouldn’t be hungry.

"Quick, go, go, hurry up."

"Alright, I’m on it," Nanny Zhao complied and was about to go upstairs to wake Xu Niannian, but Jin Nanxi quickly stopped her, "Eh, Nanny Zhao, wait a sec, I’ll go. You start preparing something for Niannian to eat."

"Right."

Ever since Xu Niannian got pregnant, the family had been very attentive to her diet, with Nanny Zhao preparing a nutritious meal for Xu Niannian every morning.

So it just needed warming up.

After hearing Jin Nanxi’s words, she went straight to the kitchen to heat it up.

Xu Niannian was asleep, feeling increasingly heavy and wanting to sleep more and more. Even though she wanted to get up, her eyelids felt so heavy she couldn’t open her eyes.

In this half-dreaming, half-awake state, she dozed and woke, dozed and woke, until Jin Nanxi finally roused her.

"Ah, Niannian, why is your face so red? You don’t have a fever, do you?"

Jin Nanxi touched Xu Niannian’s forehead with concern. "Ah, it’s burning up, do you really have a fever?"

Although Xu Niannian had been awakened, her mind was still groggy. Hearing Jin Nanxi’s words, she asked sleepily with her eyes half-closed, "Young Aunt, what did you say?"

"Ah, looks like you really have a fever." Jin Nanxi quickly pushed Xu Niannian back down onto the bed. "Just wait here."

Turning around, she ran out, and her yelling could be heard from the room.

"Nanny Zhao, Nanny Zhao, go get Doctor Cui here, quickly!"

Doctor Cui was an old practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine, and Jin Nanxi, at least, had some common sense—she knew pregnant women couldn’t just go to the hospital and get injections willy-nilly.

Upon hearing Jin Nanxi’s command to summon Doctor Cui, Nanny Zhao instantly knew Xu Niannian was ill and hurried to fetch the doctor. Thankfully, Doctor Cui’s residence was not far from the compound.
