Chapter 817: Chapter 817: Seeds of Doubt
"It should be... yes," Si Yu nodded.
"But, Qingyang looks a lot like him, and also like me," Tang Yue was somewhat unable to accept it. When she met Lian Qingyang, she felt a sense of closeness.
How could it be that Lian Qingyang has no blood relation with her?
"The world is so big, there are many people who look alike," Si Yu held her in his arms, gently patting her shoulder as he said, "Blood relation doesn’t mean much. Even if Qingyang isn’t Lian He’s biological son, would you not see him as a brother?"
"Of course not," Tang Yue instantly rebutted, her displeasure suddenly vanished with Si Yu’s words.
Tang Yue, who was unhappy just a moment ago, instantly became joyful and said, "You’re right. Regardless of whether Qingyang and I are related by blood, I will see him as my brother, my real brother."
"Yes, so you should be happy. Later, when we go home, we’ll tell your parents about you being pregnant with twins," Si Yu changed the subject, steering Tang Yue away from the unhappy mood.
Back home, the news of Tang Yue being pregnant with twins made Tang Zhengde, Zhang Hualian, and Mo Xiaolin, who was eagerly waiting for their checkup news, beam with joy.
Even Lian Tong was so excited she was speechless.
"So, that means I’m going to have two grandsons or granddaughters soon?" Mo Xiaolin was so thrilled she didn’t know what to say.
Tang Yue was pregnant with two in one go, so there would be no shortage of companions when the children were born. Most importantly, it saved her from enduring the hardship twice.
"Yes, in-law, when the time comes, we can each take care of one, they look exactly the same, how wonderful," Zhang Hualian cheerfully said for her daughter.
"Indeed," the smile never left Mo Xiaolin’s face as she enthusiastically asked, "Xiao Yue, is there anything you want to eat? Just tell Mom."
"Yes, yes, yes. Are you hungry? I’ll have your dad make you some noodles, your favorite egg noodles," Zhang Hualian was about to have Tang Zhengde cook noodles.
Tang Zhengde had already gone to the kitchen to make noodles. His daughter was pregnant with two, and as a father, he was so happy he wished to bring all the delicious food to her.
Tang Yue: "..."
Previously, when she was pregnant, her parents and mother-in-law Mo Xiaolin almost treated her like a national treasure. Now that she was pregnant with twins, it seemed even more exaggerated. Was this a good thing or a good thing?
...
"Xiao Yue, I’m so envious of you. Why didn’t I get pregnant with twins?" Qin Anyu, who lived next door, often visited Tang Yue and naturally knew about her twin pregnancy.
Qin Anyu looked at Tang Yue with envy.
Tang Yue’s mouth curled into a smile, her bright eyes sparkling like stars as she said, "Sister An Yu, your little Jin is so well-behaved! Don’t you often say one child is hard to handle? If there’s another one, wouldn’t it be more bothersome?"
"Actually, two children are more difficult to manage. If one cries, the other will cry too," Tang Yue said with emotion. She really didn’t expect to be pregnant with twins. Though she was talking about the difficulties, her heart was filled with joy.
"That’s true," Qin Anyu nodded, looking at Zhang Hualian and Mo Xiaolin bustling around the house, filled with envy.
Her parents passed away early, and even her mother-in-law was not someone she could rely on. Fortunately, Chu Hong treated her very well. Carrying around her child with her husband wherever he went didn’t seem like much of a burden. The advantage was, she didn’t have to be alone with the child from morning till night.
Tang Mingli and Wei Jiajia, although also in Jing City, didn’t get to gather together often. Tang Mingli was busy at the factory, while Wei Jiajia was occupied with her store. This day, Tang Zhengde had already made Tang Mingli free his schedule early.
Coincidentally, everyone was gathered together.
Hearing about Tang Yue being pregnant with twins, everyone’s moods were joyous.
That day.
Lian Qingyang arrived, accompanied by Lian He.
Lian Tong, staying with the Tang Family, was naturally the first to know about the twin pregnancy, and she was the first to share the good news with Lian He.
Knowing this, Old Sir Lian naturally found out too. Learning about Tang Yue’s twin pregnancy brought him joy, though he wasn’t particularly surprised since there were many twins in the Lian Family.
"Sister Xiao Yue, I brought clothes and toys for my future nephews," Lian Qingyang carried bags and boxes filled with necessities for the babies, along with a twin baby carriage. Excitedly, he said, "Sister Xiao Yue, this carriage is especially for twins, one of a kind in Sea City."
"Look, won’t it be adorable when both nephews lie inside? Isn’t it convenient?" Lian Qingyang presented the baby stroller like a treasure, a stroller he had searched high and low for in Sea City to find such a unique twin setup.
"Yes," Tang Yue nodded. Having twins, a twin baby carriage would certainly be convenient.
Tang Yue’s gaze fell on Lian Qingyang’s smiling face, her eyes flickered momentarily before returning to normal.
"Our Lian Family indeed has many twins. I am actually a twin too, but my brother unfortunately passed away early during those tumultuous times," Lian He spoke of the past with a sigh.
If there was a time when Tang Yue felt it was nice to consider Lian He as her real father, it was now.
The Lian Family genes astonished her by blessing her with twins in one go, it was a great surprise.
Tang Yue had just taken a sip of chicken soup and was thinking of telling Zhang Hualian to knit more little sweaters when she noticed the unusual look on Zhang Hualian’s face.
After the guests left, Tang Yue found a moment to talk to Zhang Hualian alone and asked, "Mom, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Tang Yue reached out to touch Zhang Hualian’s forehead.
"I’m fine," Zhang Hualian held her hand and said, "I’m just..."
She started to say something but shook her head and continued, "I’m just happy. You shouldn’t think about going to school anymore. With two babies, you need to be more careful."
"Mom, don’t worry. I’ve already spoken to the school. When the time comes, I’ll apply for graduation, just have to submit my thesis from home, and attend exams when it’s time to graduate," Tang Yue reassured her, mentioning that most of her time recently was spent at home, either drawing designs, making clothes, or creating pieces, while Jin Yanyan would produce samples based on her sketches.
Night.
It had been a long time since Zhang Hualian dreamt, but that night she dreamt of the time when she was giving birth to Tang Yue.
Her belly was unusually large, and she had thought it might be twins. However, due to circumstances at that time, she hadn’t been to a hospital from pregnancy to childbirth, always hiding away, not daring even to step outside. Especially in the later stages of pregnancy, her belly was frighteningly large, yet her body remained frail.
During those difficult times, her parents had taken her in so she could endure until childbirth, which wasn’t easy. She carried on until delivery, with Tang Yue being almost two months premature.
