At the mention of “husband and wife,” Bai Yue was shaken. Vehemently lifting up her head, she looked at s.h.i.+ Jinyan in disbelief. Biting her trembling lips hard, she hollered, “Why? s.h.i.+ Jinyan, tell me, why have you had a change of heart?! We’re supposed to be the couple, and she was the one who came in between us! She was the one who let us down!”
Bai Yue had shouted, but s.h.i.+ Jinyan simply stuck out his hand and firmly removed the fingers that she had wrapped around him one by one. With that, he turned around and told her, “Bai Yue, let bygones be bygones.”
As he said this, he turned to glance into the hospital. Pursing his lips, he continued, “We can no longer go back to the way things were in the past.”
“s.h.i.+ Jinyan! Why? Why must you do this to me?! I’m supposed to be your girlfriend, and she was the one who came in between us! s.h.i.+ Jinyan, you’re the one who let me down. How can you bear to be so cruel to me?! Even if you don’t want me, are you sure you don’t want Xin Xin either?!” Bai Yue cried in a low voice, pleading now. “s.h.i.+ Jinyan, you’re the one who betrayed me, the one whom I caught in bed… how can you have feelings for her?”
Caught in bed?
These three words tugged at s.h.i.+ Jinyan’s heart.
True, his marriage with Si Jingyu had been a joke. It had all been a misunderstanding.
At the thought of this, s.h.i.+ Jinyan left Bai Yue to herself and strode out of the hospital.

Zhuang Nainai had happily come for her prenatal examination. Never did she expect it to be like this.
Casting a sidewards glance at Si Jingyu, she noticed how Si Jingyu was silent, her expression pale. Even though Si Jingyu was trying to keep herself calm, Zhuang Nainai was still able to tell from her hurried steps and tightened jaw that she was, in fact, grieving.
Zhuang Nainai took a deep breath and decided to change the subject. “Sister, the last few examinations have shown that I’m pregnant with twins. Do you think they’ll be boys or girls?”
Si Jingyu immediately replied, “It’d be best if there are one boy and one girl!”
Zhuang Nainai laughed out loud. “That’s not very common — a boy-girl pairing is the rarest.”
With that, she lowered her head and reached out to touch her stomach.
She had said that a boy-girl pairing was very rare, and she truly believed it in her heart too.
To have both a son and a daughter in the family was perhaps the happiest thing one could have in one’s life.
Both of them eventually reached the examination room, and Si Jingyu waited outside. Zhuang Nainai removed her clothes and lay down on the bed to allow the physician to listen for the fetuses’ heartbeats.
The heartbeats were amplified by the physician’s equipment, and the thumping was loud and strong.
Zhuang Nainai, shocked, subconsciously looked at the machine the physician was using. The physician immediately gave a sheepish smile. “Oops, it’s a little too loud.”
Zhuang Nainai waved her hand. “It’s alright, it’s alright.”
Thereafter, the physician began asking her about different signs and indicators he had to check on. Once the examination was over, he told her that all was well. Zhuang Nainai set her next appointment date before saying goodbye to the physician.
As Zhuang Nainai walked out of the gynecology building with Si Jingyu, she suddenly recalled something. Slapping herself on her head, she said, “I forgot my phone. Wait for me!”
Still unable to pull herself out of the emotions of the situation beforehand, Si Jingyu was still in a daze. Upon hearing Zhuang Nainai’s words, she subconsciously nodded her head. But just as Zhuang Nainai rushed back into the building, she vehemently realized something and her eyes narrowed. She hurriedly ran into the building, chasing after Zhuang Nainai. “Hey, Nainai!”
