1230 Side Story 9: Double Standard
Hong Kong City, end of April.
The breeze was warm, and the weather was clear.
As the first of May approached, Shen Li and Lu Huaiyu went back to Hong Kong City.
An umbrella had been set up in the courtyard. Shen Li sat under the umbrella as she observed a group of people not far away who were busy setting up a swing.
!!
Two people.
However, this was not the main point, the main point was…
“Second Brother, I think that this swing could be set up in a more simple way. What do you think? ”
Shen Li could not help but look at the vine that was wrapped around the frame and the rope.
Lu Huaiyu looked in that direction for a few seconds and raised his eyebrows slightly.
“I think it’s pretty good. Girls will like it, right?”
Shen Li, “…”
The gender of her children was still unknown, but everyone seemed to be certain that they would be sisters.
There were two sets of every toy in the house– Yes, they were just like dolls.
The same went for their clothes and shoes.
Shen Li had thought that after finding out that Fang Yunyi was Sister Carp, she would understand the girlish heart that she had hidden under her bright and elegant appearance.
However, it was not until those little clothes, shoes, wreaths, scepter, and crown were sent to her that she realized that she was still too naive.
When she thought of that, Shen Li’s head started to hurt again.
“Toys aside, there are too many clothes and shoes. I think they won’t fit anymore before they can all be worn. Moreover, everything is in two identical sets, and they’re all for girls. What if…”
Hearing this, Lu Huaiyu looked at her with a faint smile.
Shen Li coughed.
This man obviously did not like the words “what if.”
“Miss Ah Li, Second Master,” said Qi Yang as he walked over, “The car is ready, we can leave now.”
Lu Huaiyu stood up and came over to take her hand.
Shen Li’s pregnancy was already showing, so she was wearing a loose dress today.
Most importantly, the gender of the fetus could already be determined by this month.
This was also the main purpose of the pregnancy test today.
Initially, Shen Li had not really thought about it. She had thought that she would just know if it was a boy or a girl once the babies were born.
However, seeing that the situation at home was getting bigger and bigger, she had no choice but to put this matter on the agenda.
Aside from Gu Tingyun and Gu Tinglan, Gu Tingfeng had already arranged for people to start work on the renovation of the villa.
As for Gu Tingchuan–
Shen Li ma.s.saged her eyebrows and slowly let out a breath.
She really did not think that a pink yacht would look good.
So, she had to go to this appointment today!
If she really waited till October when she gave birth, the extra clothes and shoes would be enough to occupy another villa.
Just thinking about that scene gave her a headache.
“Second Brother, let’s go.”
…
At the Gu family’s private hospital.
The room was very quiet. The doctor looked at the screen and observed it for a while before smiling.
“Congratulations, Second Master, Miss Ah Li. This is a young master.”
Shen Li’s eyes widened.
Lu Huaiyu’s eyebrows twitched.
“Doctor Zhang, please take a look again. Are you sure you’re not mistaken?”
Doctor Zhang smiled and pointed at the screen.
“You two can also take a look for yourself. Basically, it’s possible to mistake a boy for a girl, but it’s unlikely to mistake a girl for a boy.”
She had been in this line of work for 20 years and had a lot of experience. How could she be wrong?
Shen Li lay on the bed and closed her eyes helplessly as she thought about the situation at home.
“I told everyone not to buy those things first…”
Lu Huaiyu did not give up.
“What about the other one?”
The image on the screen moved slightly.
Doctor Zhang was pleasantly surprised.
“This one is a young lady. Congratulations to you two. Twins are rare.”
Lu Huaiyu heaved a long sigh of relief.
It was still alright.
“Ah Li, do you have a nickname in mind?” He thought for a moment. “Can I call her Guoguo?”
Shen Li thought that this nickname was quite cute, but-
“What about the other one?”
Lu Huaiyu’s mood had just gone through a roller coaster ride so when he heard this, he said, “As you wish.”
Shen Li was shocked.
Perhaps her reaction finally reminded Lu Huaiyu that this child was also his. He paused, then ruffled her hair and said in a gentle tone, “What I mean is that we can’t claim… both children. Let’s leave one for their grandparents. What do you think?”
…
At the Gu residence.
Young Master Siyang, since Miss Li is pregnant with twins, don’t you think… you should make some changes to the swing?”
The maid looked at the half-completed swing that was covered with flower vines and felt a little conflicted.
Gu Siyang crossed an arm across his chest and touched his chin with the other.
“No need! Let’s do it according to the previous plan!”
The maid was stunned.
“But… young master…”
“Add more here. Yes, right here.” Gu Siyang raised his finger and pointed, raising his eyebrows smugly. “My niece will definitely like it!”
The maid was speechless.
“Just do as Young Master Siyang says,” said Qi Yang as he walked over with a smile on his face.
The maid looked to the left and then to the right. Seeing that they had indeed made up their minds, she replied, “Yes, sir.”
Qi Yang looked at the pile of flower vines, the flowers and leaves swaying in the wind, and shook his head with a smile.
Sigh, they were still so young.
In this house, who would care about the young master?
…
A black car drove into the grounds of the Gu residence. Gu Tingfeng got out of the car and ran into Gu Tingyun.
The atmosphere was delicate.
Gu Tingyun smiled.
“It looks like there’ll be no need to change the decoration of the villa this time. It’ll save Big Brother a lot of effort.”
Gu Tingfeng gritted his teeth.
“Yes. However, you should probably change the design style of your amus.e.m.e.nt park and ski resort, right?”
He had seen it once by accident before, and the design was purely one of a little princess’ castle.
Gu Tingyun thought for a moment.
“That is indeed a problem.”
Gu Tingfeng smirked.
However, Gu Tingyun continued, “However, it’s only right for a boy to take care of a girl. So that kid will just have to make do with it.”
Gu Tingfeng was stunned.
He pointed at Gu Tingyun with a pained expression.
“Third Brother! You can’t be an uncle with such double standards!”
Gu Tingyun paused.
“Big Brother, don’t you know that both of Second Brother’s yachts have already entered the port?”
“…”
“Also, there’s our father…” he smiled gently. “He’s on the phone with Old Master Lu.
…
The Capital.
“Twins? Why is there one less daughter and one more boy?”
Old Master Lu really could not figure it out.
“Didn’t we agree on two daughters?”
Old Master Gu said simply, “Your family may name the boy and we’ll name the girl.”
Old Master Lu’s voice instantly rose an octave.
“What!”
“Gu Ci! You’re too much! Is there anyone like you?”
…
Fang Yunyi looked at the photo that Lu Huaiyu had sent with one hand on her chest.
“Lu Zheng! Look at Lil Tang! She’s so beautiful!”
Lu Zheng stared at the blurry image.
“…”
He paused for a moment and asked, “What about the one beside her?”
Fang Yunyi waved her hand dismissively.
“Oh, how can I possibly see that one clearly?”
Lu Zheng was left speechless.
