156: Use another method.

Thinking of this, Shiyu felt a lump in her chest.

"I want to be a hot mom, not a fat mom!"

Song Yuan asked her,

"Do you want to take a set of wedding photos before your belly starts showing?"

Shiyu nodded,

"Yes!"

That evening, Song Heng cooked a table full of his signature dishes, and Shiyu, for the first time, ate to her heart's content, feeling completely satisfied.

On WeChat, Shiyu had sent a B-scan photo in the morning and hadn't checked it since.

Old Lady and Gu Shiyuan had sent dozens of messages in the group chat.

Old Lady: "I'm going to have great-grandchildren? Shiyu, reply to me when you see this message!"

Old Lady: "Shiyu, what are you doing? Every time you drop a bombshell and then disappear, your Old Lady's heart can't take it! Reply quickly!!"

Gu Shiyuan: "If I haven't misunderstood, I'm going to be an uncle, right? @Shiyu You're amazing, Sis! Congratulations, Sis. Can you send some living expenses?"

Old Lady: "@Shiyu, you and Song Yuan come back to the Old Residence tonight. I'll wait for you no matter how late it is!"

...

Shiyu read through the unread messages and replied in the group chat,

"We'll be back in a bit."

Tao Yulian packed several boxes of pre-cut fruit for Shiyu, along with washed blueberries and peeled walnuts in a meal box. The bag also contained some other snacks suitable for pregnant women, finally amounting to a large bag full of various items.

As the two carried their things back to the car, Song Yuan remembered the message from his brother-in-law in the group chat and said with a smile,

"That kid Gu Shiyuan helped me a lot last night. Although he seems a bit unreliable, he never drops the ball at crucial moments. Wife, considering his broken leg, how about you send him some pocket money?"

Shiyu smiled. That kid was quite good at finding backup, even finding Song Yuan.

However, Shiyu was in a good mood today, and since Song Yuan was pleading on his behalf, and she had kept him under wraps for a while, she might as well be generous and give him some money.

Shiyu immediately opened WeChat and transferred a small sum of money to Gu Shiyuan. It wasn't as much as his usual monthly allowance, but with his leg broken, he wouldn't need too much money right now.

As soon as the transfer message was sent, Gu Shiyuan received it almost instantly.

Soon, Song Yuan received a message from Gu Shiyuan:

"Brother-in-law, thanks! It had to be you! When my leg heals, let's go have some fun together!"

Song Yuan rubbed his temples, startled, and quickly deleted the message.

Was this kid really asking for a beating every single second?

Song Yuan started the car and drove towards the Gu Family Old Mansion. Shiyu sat in the passenger seat, holding a box of blueberries in her arms.

Song Yuan had tasted one of the blueberries; they were so sour they made his teeth ache, but she seemed to enjoy eating them quite a bit.

Shiyu listened as Song Yuan casually mentioned a few things about what happened at the club last night, and she gritted her teeth in anger,

"You should have completely blacked out Xinan Network to teach the Meng Family a lesson. Otherwise, that old man will think we're easy to bully. He even dared to treat my person like that. He can forget about getting any loans for his company's funding gap in Beijing!"

Song Yuan looked up at her, his eyes filled with amusement. His wife was sticking up for him, but he had already settled the score himself.

"Don't be angry, Wife. It's not worth getting upset over this. Now, it's Meng Xuelin who's embarrassed. Even netizens are discussing how an old-established network security company like Xinan Network was so easily hacked.

Xinan Network has lost face nationwide."

Shiyu said indignantly,

"His losing face is his business; what I do is my business. If he dares to disrespect you, I'll make sure he looks bad too! And you've already made an enemy of him. A petty person like Meng Xuelin will definitely come looking for trouble again. Instead of waiting for him to make the first move, it's better to take the initiative.

We don't stir up trouble, but we're not afraid of it either!"

Song Yuan admired his wife's spirit,

"Wife, you shouldn't get angry while pregnant with the baby. Let me handle revenge; I'm best at that. How about I hack Xinan Network once every day to infuriate Meng Xuelin and get revenge for you?"

Shiyu couldn't help but laugh aloud,

"You're even more ruthless, but I approve!"

As they spoke, the car arrived at the Gu Family's gate.

Old Lady had already arranged for the butler to wait at the gate. Seeing Song Yuan's car approach, the main gate opened directly.

Old Lady sat in the living room, waiting. She was happy today, wearing her favorite jujube-red qipao, her hair neatly combed, and adorned with the East Pearl necklace Shiyu had bought for her at an auction.

Song Yuan led Shiyu into the house. Old Lady, hearing footsteps, couldn't wait and came forward to greet them.

"Shiyu, is it true you're pregnant?"

Shiyu nodded,

"I'm a little over seven weeks pregnant. The check-up results are all good; the fetal heart and embryonic bud are developing well. It's twins!"

Old Lady happily took Shiyu's hand,

"I'm finally going to have great-grandchildren! The way you resisted marriage before, I thought you'd grow old alone, and I wouldn't have this chance before I died.

Who would have thought... it would come true so easily!

Shiyu, once your brother settles down, Old Lady will have no regrets!"

Shiyu chuckled. What kind of wish was that?

"I'll let you hold them. How about I let you hold the first one born?"

Old Lady was delighted by the coaxing,

"Then I need to think about what welcome gifts to prepare for my two great-grandchildren. Buy two small planets and name them? No, no, that's too casual. Song Yuan would laugh at me for being stingy."

Old Lady thought for a long time and then said,

"Should I give them the small island I bought abroad?"

Shiyu just smiled. Whatever Old Lady gave, she would be happy.

Old Lady quickly negated her own idea again,

"No, no, one island isn't enough to divide. Oh, why do I suddenly feel like I have nothing presentable to offer?"

Old Lady grew anxious as she thought about it.

Shiyu comforted her,

"It's alright. There's still a long time until your two great-grandchildren are born. You have plenty of time to think; no need to rush."

Old Lady suddenly smiled,

"Look at me, being so muddled! What's the rush? But carrying two babies will be extra hard, so you must take good care of yourself. Old Lady will find you a nutritionist to look after you both!"

Song Yuan had been listening to the Old Lady and granddaughter chat for a long time. He interjected,

"Old Lady, don't worry. I will definitely take good care of Shiyu and make sure she gains a little weight."

Old Lady smiled and said,

"Good, I'm relieved that you two have such a good relationship!"

That night, the two stayed at the Old Residence.

Gu Shiyuan kept flooding the group chat with messages, wanting to come back and join the fun, but the doctor wouldn't let him leave the hospital. He was anxious on his end, but there was nothing he could do.

The two experienced the initial joy of becoming parents. After showering, they lay down for the night.

Song Yuan lifted Shiyu's nightgown and studied her pale belly. Inside were two little ones, his babies.

They had only just developed a fetal heart and embryonic bud, hadn't even grown ears yet, and he already had so much he wanted to tell them.

Song Yuan marveled at the miracle of life and couldn't help but kiss Shiyu's belly.

Shiyu was originally lying there, scrolling on her phone, when she felt something wet and warm press against her lower abdomen. She jolted upright.

"Song Yuan, what are you doing?"

Song Yuan looked up and realized his actions were inappropriate. She was a pregnant mother now, and his recent actions were stirring up desire.

Song Yuan quickly sat up and moved back a distance. They were far apart, looking at each other.

Shiyu paused and said,

"Song Yuan, the doctor said no during early pregnancy. If you really can't control yourself, then... use other methods!"
