Chapter 601: Baby (1)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When An Yue looked at Su He, Su He was looking at An Yue as well. After a moment, Su He said with a smile, “Youlin is my cousin-in-law. Since you are her sister-in-law, you can just call me Xiao He, like Youlin does.”
The girls had been drawn closer with just a short sentence.
Su He pulled An Yue to her side and asked with a smile, “How many months along are you?”
“About… About two months.” Staring at Su He’s big belly, An Yue could not help but ask, “What about you?”
“Five months along.”
Just five months, and her belly was already this big! Would her baby in her belly be this big as well when she was five months along?
Su Qing was a little perplexed when she heard their conversation.
Seeing her reaction, Zhao Youlin thoughtfully explained, “My sister-in-law is also pregnant, but hers came a little later than Xiao He. She has been pregnant for less than two months.”
Su Qing understood and congratulated them both. “Congratulations.”
Han Yichen nodded expressionlessly as a response, but if she looked closely, she would find that his eyes were full of pride and joy about this matter.
As for An Yue, she seemed to still be in a state of surprise that Su He’s stomach had already gotten so big at only five months. She only nodded reflexively to Su He’s congratulation and did not show much reaction.
The surprised expression on Su He’s face was too obvious. Su He could not pretend that she did not see it. However, she was now used to everyone’s reaction at her belly. So she explained with a smile, “I am having twins. That’s why my belly is a little bigger than other pregnant women.”
“Twins!” An Yue widened her eyes instantly and stared at Su He’s stomach in disbelief.
Han Yichen was a little stunned as well. When Zhao Youlin invited them to come together, she only told them that Su He was pregnant like An Yue, and she had been pregnant a few months earlier than An Yue. She did not mention that Su He was having twins.
“Aunt An Yue, I want to see the twin babies too, please.” An Yue was still in a daze when she suddenly felt a weight under her leg. When she looked down, she saw Joy looking up at her with antic.i.p.ation. He was reaching out his hands, hoping that she could carry him up onto the couch.
An Yue hesitated for a second before she reached out to hold Joy up, allowing Joy to see Su He’s big belly up close.
Joy stared intently at Su He’s belly with a look of wonder. It was so hard to imagine how a person’s belly could become so big!
After a while, the kid became dissatisfied with just looking. He wanted to touch it as well.
“Aunt An Yue, can I touch the babies?”
“You shouldn’t ask me, you should ask your… Um… Your Aunt Su He.”
Aunt Su He? Joy turned around and glanced at Su He. So this was Aunt Su He, the one who was having two babies in her stomach.
“Aunt Su He, may I touch your babies?”
Joy looked really adorable. And right now, when he was asking this question, he seemed particularly lovely. All Su He could feel was that her heart had been hit hard by something.
She had already heard about Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng’s child before, but Zhao Youlin never brought her son to the company. Even when she met them outside, she only saw him from far away. She had never looked at the child’s delicate facial features so closely.
I wish my baby could be as sweet and lovely as this boy. Su He thought to herself. Her gaze toward Joy became more and more gentle.
“Of course.”
Joy was overjoyed. At the same time, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng had already sat on the sofa opposite Su He and Joy. Seeing the situation, she only smiled and said, “Joy, the babies are still very small. If you want to touch them, you have to be gentle. Otherwise, you might hurt them.”
After Zhao Youlin said that, Joy’s hand, which had already stretched out, stiffened, as he became more cautious.
The chubby little hand touched Su He’s stomach. He was so gentle that Su He could barely feel his hand on her stomach.
There was a mixed expression of curiosity and conflict on Joy’s face. The adults present could not help but be amused by Joy’s melodramatic countenance.
Su He was the first to laugh out loud. She took the initiative to hold Joy’s little paw and led it to the front of her stomach.
“Can you feel it, Joy? The babies in my belly?”
Joy frowned as he carefully felt the touch on Su He’s belly. Suddenly, Joy felt a small vibration.
The vibration just happened for a second, so Joy thought it was an illusion, but then, he suddenly froze.
Because this time what Joy felt was no longer just a tiny unnoticeable vibration, but a tangible light kick.
Joy’s chubby little face became dull. His big watery eyes were wide open. He looked like a porcelain doll.
“They moved! They moved! The babies are moving in there!”
Su He’s complexion was a little pale, showing how hard the baby inside her belly had just kicked.
Even so, Su He was still smiling. She waited until the pain had pa.s.sed before she said, “Yes, it was the babies’ way of saying hi to you, Joy.”
“Really?” Joy was so excited that his face was red. His eyes had never been this bright before. Seeing that, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng could not help but smile at each other, knowing that their true purpose of bringing Joy here today had been achieved.
“Of course. The babies really like you as a brother. Most of the time when other people came over to see them, they might not even say h.e.l.lo to them, but they greeted you instantly when you touched them. That means they really like you, doesn’t it?”
Compared to the problem of being liked or disliked, Joy seemed to care more about another message from Su He’s words.
“I am a brother?”
“Of course. I am your aunt. So my babies will be your little brothers or little sisters. You are their brother. You must take good care of them in the future.”
Joy stared at Su He’s big belly with a dazed expression, seemingly still trying to digest Su He’s words.
“Goo goo ga…”
Suddenly, another lovely voice suddenly came from below Joy. Then, he felt a weight on his leg. He reflexively looked down and met a pair of big dark eyes. “Goo goo ga…”
This was the first time Joy had encountered such a thing. He opened his eyes wide and did not know what to do. Zhao Youlin and the others were stunned as well, as they did not notice since when did the baby, who was playing with toys on the side, had actually climbed to the side of the sofa and grabbed Joy’s pants, not to mention that it seemed like he was trying to climb up to Joy’s side.
Su Qing was the first to react to this. She teased, “Looks like Xiao Qi’s babies are not the only ones who like Joy, even my baby likes Joy very much too! You are quite popular with your little brothers and little sisters, Joy.”
When Su Qing said that, she tried to get her little baby back. However, her baby was young, but he was very strong.. He was grabbing Joy’s pant leg tightly and was unwilling to let go.
