Chapter 204: Chapter 204: Planning and Scheming
After being stunned, Xiao Li’s spirits soared.
Twins are so adorable, what a wonderful thing!
Initially, Qin Xiao was surprised. After the surprise, his emotions became complicated, with both happiness and a sense of pity for Xiao Li.
Being pregnant with one is already difficult, being pregnant with two must be even more exhausting!
After leaving the hospital, Xiao Li saw that the expression on Qin Xiao’s face wasn’t quite right.
He didn’t look unhappy, but not overly happy either.
In the car, Xiao Li sat in the passenger seat, turned her head to look at Qin Xiao who was about to start the car, and reached out to smooth the slight frown on his forehead...
Seeing Xiao Li’s hand reaching over, Qin Xiao immediately stopped his actions of starting the car.
Xiao Li touched Qin Xiao’s brow and asked, "Uncle, are you unhappy?"
Qin Xiao took Xiao Li’s hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it, "You’re pregnant, and it’s twins, our family will have two more children. Of course, I’m happy.
But having twins means you’ll be more tired, and I can’t bear that."
Xiao Li smiled, "Uncle, actually you can look at it differently!
Having two at once means I’m taking the suffering for two in one go.
It’s actually better for me!
Think about it, if we have just one this time, and I want four, I’d have to be pregnant again.
Having two at once is more like a one-and-done situation!
Besides, now that we’re already expecting them, instead of worrying unhappily for me, it’s better to happily welcome their arrival with me.
If you feel sorry for me, just take good care of me then."
Xiao Li said this and looked at Qin Xiao sweetly.
Qin Xiao chuckled softly and pinched Xiao Li’s cheek, "You really are greedy, already planning for four kids."
Xiao Li nodded, "Uh-huh, the more kids we have together, the better!"
Qin Xiao laughed softly, and after a while, he spoke, "Then it’s settled, once we have these two, we’ll have four kids already, that’s enough, no more, alright?"
Xiao Li nodded, "Alright! Four kids are plenty.
Uncle, can we head back now?"
Qin Xiao nodded, released Xiao Li’s hand, started the car and drove home.
The car drove all the way to the front of Qin’s mother’s villa and stopped because Little Li was playing here in the morning.
After parking the car, Qin Xiao got out first, then ran to the passenger side to open the door and helped Xiao Li out.
Ever since learning about the twins, Qin Xiao had become more cautious.
After helping Xiao Li out, Qin Xiao closed the car door and supported her as they went into the villa.
Inside the villa, seeing Qin Xiao supporting Xiao Li as they entered, Qin’s father couldn’t bear to watch.
It’s getting more and more lovey-dovey.
Since Professor Jiang next door moved, Qin’s father lost his chess buddy, so he didn’t go out much anymore.
Previously, traveling with Qin’s mother, he didn’t notice much, but since returning home to rest, Qin’s father felt something was off.
Without Old Jiang, there was suddenly an emptiness!
Yes, it’s been a long enough rest, he could travel again with Ah Zhi.
Unfortunately, Qin’s father’s idea to travel again could only remain an idea, with no way to put it into action.
When Qin’s mother saw Qin Xiao and Xiao Li returning, she quietly asked, "How did it go? What did the doctor say?"
Qin’s mother knew Xiao Li went for a checkup today and knew the result was most likely positive.
But she still asked for the official confirmation, as that’s the most accurate!
Qin Xiao helped Xiao Li sit on the sofa, and Xiao Li was almost speechless due to Qin Xiao’s tension.
He wasn’t this tense before! Why the nervousness now?
Whether it’s one or two, it’s still pregnancy, no need to be overly tense.
Hmm, give Uncle some buffer time, talk to him properly tonight...
Once Xiao Li sat down, Qin Xiao then sat beside her.
Xiao Li smiled and replied to Qin’s mother, "Mom, yes, I am pregnant."
Upon hearing this, Qin’s mother smiled happily, "That’s great! Another addition to the family."
When Qin Xiao heard his mother’s words, he immediately added, "And it’s two at once."
Qin’s mother was a bit puzzled by Qin Xiao’s remark!
"Ah Xiao, what do you mean?
Two at once, you mean your sister-in-law is also pregnant?
Hey... That boy Ah Tan didn’t let me in on any of it!
Nini, you and He Jie have such timing, always syncing up your pregnancies."
Xiao Li, knowing the true meaning of Qin Xiao’s words, didn’t know how to respond to Qin’s mother’s remarks.
She turned to Qin Xiao and gestured to him: You started this, you handle it.
Understanding, Qin Xiao smiled and explained to Qin’s mother, "Mom, no, if sister-in-law were pregnant, big brother would definitely tell you.
When I said two, it’s because Nini is having twins this time."
Upon hearing Qin Xiao, Qin’s mother froze, her hand reaching for the phone to call Qin Tan to ask if He Jie was pregnant.
On the other side, Qin’s father, who was pouring tea, let it overflow without even noticing...
Xiao Li, observing Qin’s mother and father’s expressions, thought to herself: This is the proper reaction upon hearing the news!
Back at the hospital, our reactions weren’t quite right!
After initially being stunned, Qin’s mother snapped back and laughed for a while without any decorum, then looked at Xiao Li and said, "Xiao Li, did Ah Xiao just say the truth?"
Since young, Qin Xiao loved to play pranks, so he didn’t have much credibility with Qin’s mother, who was afraid he was joking again.
Xiao Li wouldn’t, she knew when to joke and when not to.
So, Qin’s mother directly asked Xiao Li, and even Qin’s father got up from the tea table and came to sit beside Qin’s mother, waiting for Xiao Li’s answer.
Xiao Li nodded, "Mom, it’s true, the doctor confirmed it today."
Upon hearing this from Xiao Li, Qin’s mother felt completely at ease.
As she felt at ease, excitement surged that couldn’t be suppressed...
Qin’s mother laughed and said, "This is truly a great event, we’ve never had twins in our family, we must celebrate tonight!
I’ll call your brother and the others to come back and join us!"
Qin’s mother said this while calling Qin Tan and He Jie, and when she called He Jie, He Jie was simply happy for Xiao Li and said he would definitely come back in the evening.
When Qin Tan received the call, he was happy for Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, but also felt a bit sour.
Ah...
Qin Xiao beat him to the third child, no, now he beat him to the fourth.
He really wanted a third child too!
But the last time he wanted a second, it took a lot of effort, and for the third, he didn’t think he could get past He Jie!
He needed to plan well.
When they all gathered at Qin’s father’s place that evening, Qin Tan learned Xiao Li became pregnant during a trip, and he felt regret!
The last time he traveled, why hadn’t he thought to take advantage?
