Marrying My Bestie's Ferocious Brother - He Calls Me His Baby!-Chapter 55: How Can She Be Pregnant with Twins!
After the commander and Political Commissioner Chen left, the commotion in the ward finally subsided.
Dean Wu put away his beloved stethoscope, his expression as serious as if he were giving a pre-surgery report.
"Mr. Gu, Comrade Xiao Lin."
"Twins, medically known as multiple pregnancies, are rare in our region, not seen in decades."
"What does it mean? It means that from today onwards, she is the number one key protection target in our military district, more precious than the General’s German cannon!"
He pointed at Lin Wan Yi.
"Nutrition must be doubled, rest must be ensured, and the mood must not fluctuate at all."
"Every follow-up prenatal check-up will be personally conducted by me!"
Wang Xiu’e was nodding repeatedly, taking out a small notebook to jot everything down.
Gu Yanshen said nothing; he just stared at Dean Wu with those bloodshot eyes, as if engraving every word into his mind.
After Dean Wu finished his instructions, the commander’s call came in, directed at Gu Yanshen.
Gu Yanshen picked up the receiver, and after hearing a single sentence, he stood straight up.
"Yes!"
After hanging up, he spoke to the people in the ward.
"The commander has specially granted me a week off."
"To stay at home and take care of her."
Gu Lan let out an exaggerated gasp from the side, then winked at Gu Yanshen.
"Oh, paid paternity leave? Mr. Gu, this is unprecedented!"
The discharge procedures were handled rapidly.
Gu Lan swiftly packed up the two large suitcases, not forgetting to give instructions.
"Brother, don’t just stand there like a wooden post, go fetch Wanwan’s clothes."
Gu Yanshen walked over, picked up a lightweight jacket, moving as gently as if fearing it might break.
Lin Wan Yi sat up by herself, intending to get out of bed to put on her shoes.
"Don’t move!"
Gu Yanshen and Gu Lan shouted in unison.
Gu Yanshen quickly stepped forward, squatted down, picked up the shoes, wanting to help Lin Wan Yi put them on but not knowing where to start.
Gu Lan couldn’t bear it, pushed him aside.
"Clumsy! Step aside!"
She deftly helped Lin Wan Yi put on her shoes and helped her stand up.
Gu Yanshen stood aside, watching Gu Lan’s actions, then looking at Lin Wan Yi, he suddenly bent down, extending his arms.
It seemed he wanted to lift her up directly.
"Are you crazy!"
Gu Lan slapped him on the back.
"Wanwan just got pregnant, the first three months are the most critical! What if your posture is wrong when holding her?"
Gu Yanshen’s outstretched hand froze mid-air.
His tall frame showed a rare expression of awkward embarrassment for the first time.
Finally, he just extended one hand, carefully holding Lin Wan Yi’s arm.
The other hand hovered hesitantly three inches behind her waist, as if it was something untouchable.
The group left the ward.
In the hallway, every passing nurse and patient stopped in their tracks.
They watched the legendary living Yama, Mr. Gu, at this moment escorting as if he was carrying a national treasure, inch by inch, moving slowly.
His expression was more tense than going into battle.
His steps were more cautious than a toddler learning to walk.
Nurse Zhang Hong hid behind the nurse’s station, excitedly grabbing a colleague’s arm and lowering her voice to a scream.
"Did you see that? Twins! It’s twins!"
"Mr. Gu is dumbfounded! Doesn’t even know how to walk!"
At the well by the family compound.
Sister in law Qian washed clothes while sneering with Li.
"Humph, just a faint and she’s acting like it’s such a big deal. I think she’s faking it."
"Capitalist’s daughter, always up to tricks, just wants men to revolve around her."
Li agreed in a hushed tone.
"Exactly, it’s just getting pregnant, who hasn’t been? She acts so precious!"
Sister in law Qian pounded vigorously on the clothes in the basin, water splashing everywhere. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
"I’ll wait and see what other nonsense she’ll pull!"
Just then, a young military wife ran in with bated breath from the compound entrance.
"Big news! Big news!"
"Mr. Gu’s Lin Wan Yi is pregnant with twins!"
"Clang——!"
The new enamel bowl in Sister in law Qian’s hand fell straight onto the cement ground, shattering into pieces.
The sarcasm and bitterness on her face froze instantly, leaving only twisted shock and jealousy.
"Twin...twins?"
"How...how could that be!"
Gu Yanshen, supporting Lin Wan Yi, had just reached the family compound entrance and was stunned.
A dense crowd, full of people.
Dozens of military wives, layer after layer, made an impenetrable circle at their doorstep.
"They’re back! They’re back!"
Someone shouted, and all eyes "shua" focused on them.
"Oh my, Wanyi, congratulations! Really the lucky star of our military district!"
"Let us see, is a twin pregnancy belly any different?"
"Mr. Gu, you really got skills!"
A rushing wave of voices came, noisy enough to make one’s head ache.
Lin Wan Yi, already somewhat uncomfortable due to morning sickness, turned a shade paler upon being surrounded by the spectacle.
Countless curious, envious, inquisitive gazes, like spotlights, focused on her, making her very uncomfortable.
Gu Yanshen felt the person in his arms tremble slightly.
He raised his head.
At that moment, the careful warmth surrounding him vanished without a trace.
In its place was a chilling, familiar coldness.
His gaze, like a knife, slowly swept over the excited faces in front.
The entire noisy crowd seemed to be muted.
"My wife needs to rest."
His voice wasn’t loud but carried an unquestionable authority, piercing into each person’s ear like an ice pick.
He paused, his icy gaze fixed on the military wife ahead who attempted to reach out her hand.
"Three seconds."
"Disperse."
Deathly silence among the crowd.
The next second, everyone acted like cats whose tails had been stepped on, fleeing in terror.
As if staying a second longer would see them devoured by the living Yama.
In the blink of an eye, the entrance cleared out.
Just then, Wang Xiu’e and Sister Zhou came bustling with supplies.
Seeing the scattering crowd, Wang Xiu’e raised her eyebrows and spoke confidently.
"Well done!"
Her voice, neither loud nor soft, clearly reached every corner not far away.
"If anyone dares to disturb Wanwan’s rest and causes her any distress, don’t blame me, Wang Xiu’e, for being unkind!"
She approached them, gently took Lin Wan Yi’s hand, and approvingly glanced at Gu Yanshen.
"Yanshen, remember, from today onwards, if anyone dares to wrong your wife, come straight to me!"
"This is the treasure of our entire military district, not for their entertainment!"
Finally, they returned to the quiet house.
Gu Lan swiftly poured water and made the bed.
Lin Wan Yi leaned back against the bed, breathing a long sigh of relief.
Gu Yanshen closed the door, shutting out everything outside.
He walked silently to the bedside, staring straight at Lin Wan Yi.
After a long look, he suddenly knelt on one knee in front of her.
He reached out cautiously, intending to touch her belly.
But the hand that could grip a hot gun barrel on the training ground, that could punch through a wall, was now trembling violently in mid-air.
He reached out, then quickly pulled back.
And reached out again, and pulled back once more.
As though it was a sacred, inviolable place.
Lin Wan Yi looked at his silly yet adorable demeanor, her heart both aching and tender.
She said nothing, just extended her hand, gently grasping his large, aimless hand.
Then she guided it, slowly placing it on her still-flat abdomen.
"It’s here."
Her voice was soft, yet carried a power that soothed everything.
