Fang Mu went to his company in the afternoon. He planned to bring Qiao Jiuyin to the hospital in the evening for a checkup.

Qiao Jiuyin stayed in the main house for lunch. When the meal was ready, she sat at the table. She endured the nausea as she glanced at the dishes on the table. She found that the dishes were light and bland, and some appetite finally returned to her stomach.

Liu Fei had made egg soup with the eggs that Fang Yusheng had given to Xu Pingfei.

After Qiao Jiuyin finished her meal, she took two spoonfuls of egg soup. When she tasted one spoonful, she felt that it was very delicious. Therefore, she scooped a little more. Xu Pingfei looked at her, smiled, and scooped some more for her. She even said, “You’re feeding two people with your mouth now. The child needs to absorb nutrients, so try to eat more.”

Qiao Jiuyin disconsolately rubbed her stomach. She thought about it and took a few more scoops.

“This egg soup tastes really good. Brother Liu, your cooking is not bad,” Qiao Jiuyin casually praised the chef.

Xu Pingfei nodded. “Ah Fei used to be a five-star chef, so his cooking skills are naturally decent. However, today’s eggs are different. They are pure farmland eggs from farmers.”

Qiao Jiuyin’s heart warmed at the thought that Aunt Xu had specially ordered people to purchase eggs from the farm for her and her child. She looked up and sweetly smiled at Xu Pingfei. She gratefully said, “Aunt Xu, thank you for everything you’ve done for me and my child.”

Xu Pingfei saw that Qiao Jiuyin had misunderstood, so she quickly said, “You don’t have to thank me. If you want to thank someone, thank Yusheng.”

“Big Brother?” Qiao Jiuyin was stunned.

How is this related to Fang Yusheng?

Xu Pingfei did not notice Qiao Jiuyin’s surprise. She smiled and continued, “Your big brother knew that you were pregnant, so he specially prepared a basket of eggs for you to eat. He also told me to tell you that it’s not easy to get pregnant, so you have to be careful. Eating more eggs is also good for the child.”

After saying that, Xu Pingfei sighed and muttered to herself, “I used to think that Yusheng’s temper was bad, and he always makes people angry. Today’s matter has made me feel at ease.” She held Qiao Jiuyin’s hand and sighed. “We’re still family after all. You’re pregnant, and as your elder brother, he cares for it too.”

Xu Pingfie continued to hold Qiao Jiuyin’s hand. Although the weather was warm, Qiao Jiuyin’s heart was cold.

Fang Yusheng had offered her a basket of eggs.

Why did it have to be eggs!

She thought about the morning she had married into the Fang family, when she had taken the initiative to scoop a bowl of century egg porridge for Fang Yusheng. Qiao Jiuyin’s expression turned ugly. He knows that I had ordered that porridge on purpose. He’s warning me with the free eggs!

“Aunt Xu, what did Big Brother want you to tell me?” Qiao Jiuyin suddenly interrupted Xu Pingfei.

Xu Pingfei immediately stopped talking.

She looked at Qiao Jiuyin in surprise. After thinking for a while, she said again, “Yusheng told me to tell you that it’s not easy to be pregnant for ten months. He told you to be careful and take good care of yourself and the child.” After she said that, she saw that Qiao Jiuyin’s expression was a little off. Thus, she quickly asked with concern, “What’s wrong? Is there something wrong with those words?”

Something is wrong!

Qiao Jiuyin was panicking inside, but she shook her head at Xu Pingfei and said, “It’s nothing. It’s just that Big Brother’s temper looks mild, but he’s not easy to get close to. I’m a little surprised that he could say such things.”

Xu Pingfei agreed with her.

“Yes, I also found it unbelievable.” Seeing that Qiao Jiuyin did not look too good, Xu Pingfei asked with concern, “Xiao Sheng, are you feeling unwell? You look very pale.”

“No.” Shaking her head, Qiao Jiuyin pressed her stomach and said, “It’s uncomfortable to endure vomiting. I’ll go back to my room to rest first.”

“Alright, go ahead.”

Qiao Jiuyin quickly left the main house. When she returned to Fang Mu’s house, her heart was beating fast.

Previously, Fang Yusheng had not shown any signs of dissatisfaction toward her. Hence, she thought that Fang Yusheng was a soft persimmon who did not dare to do anything to her. However, this basket of eggs completely woke her up today.

The eldest young master of the Fang family, even if he was blind, even if he stayed in his house every day chanting scriptures and eating vegetarian meals, was still the eldest young master of the Fang family.

How could a young master from a wealthy family be weak?

At the thought of the Eldest Young Master closing his eyes and fiddling with the Buddha Beads with his calm and composed expression, Qiao Jiuyin felt afraid.

She didn’t even know where this fear came from.

When Fang Mu returned, Qiao Jiuyin was lying on her side on the bed. She did not sleep well.

Fang Mu softly woke her up. When he saw her pale face, his heart ached. “Did you vomit badly today?”

Qiao Jiuyin nodded. “I kept vomiting, and I feel weak.”

Fang Mu hugged her and said, “Come, let’s go to the hospital for a checkup. We’ll be fine after a few months.”

“Yes.”

The two of them went to the hospital. Fang Mu had made prior arrangements with the hospital. Hence, they did not need to queue up. They directly went for a checkup.

The result of the checkup was very surprising. The ultrasound report said that there were two pregnancy sacs in Qiao Jiuyin’s uterus.

The two pregnancy sacs meant that if these pregnancy sacs were to normally develop, Qiao Jiuyin would have a pair of twins in her stomach. Fang Mu stared at the two tiny dots on the ultrasound scan. He was so shocked that he forgot how to speak. His excitement and happiness were off the charts. Even Qiao Jiuyin could feel his emotions.

Qiao Jiuyin looked at Fang Mu’s overly excited face and could not help but smile. Her heart melted.

She was pregnant with two babies at once. Even if the truth came out in the future, on account of the twins, Fang Mu would not make things difficult for her.

The news of Qiao Jiuyin being pregnant with twins spread to the Fang family within a few minutes.

Soon, everyone in the Fang family knew this exciting news.

When Qiao Jiusheng heard Aunt Jin lamenting about how lucky Second Madam was, her expression was very calm. This did not surprise her because, in her previous life, Qiao Jiuyin had also given birth to a pair of twins, two boys. From Qiao Jiuyin’s nagging, she had learned that the twins were very doted on. From the moment they were born, Fang Pingjue deeply loved them. He valued Fang Mu even more because of this.

On the day the two children had turned one year old, Fang Pingjue had publicly announced that he would retire and officially pass the company to Fang Mu.

When Fang Yusheng heard this news, he did not say anything.

There was a door behind Fang Yusheng’s house. At the door was a six-steps wooden staircase. Fang Yusheng sat under the roof with one leg propped up on the first step and the other propped up on the sixth. The autumn sun was warm, and when it shone on his body, it made him feel extremely warm.

Qiao Jiusheng held a cup of tea and stared at Fang Yusheng’s head. In the past month or so, a small section of hair had grown on Fang Yusheng’s head. It looked hard and black, and Qiao Jiusheng’s fingers itched.

She really wanted to go up and pull it.

After pouring another cup of green tea, Qiao Jiusheng carried the teacup to the back door and sat down beside Fang Yusheng. She then passed him a cup of tea.

The smell of tea wafted into his nose. Fang Yusheng tilted his head and looked at Qiao Jiusheng. After a moment of silence, he caught the teacup. “It tastes pretty good,” he commented after taking a sip.

Qiao Jiusheng said, “You bought the best tea leaves.”

Fang Yusheng added, “It’s because your hands are nimble.”

Qiao Jiusheng opened her mouth but did not say anything.

Forget it, it’s just my tea skills then.

“What are you thinking about?” she asked Fang Yusheng.

Fang Yusheng said, “Thinking about fate.”

Qiao Jiusheng silently glanced at Fang Yusheng’s good-looking face. There was a sentence written in her eyes: Can you stop acting cool?
