Stars In His Eyes-Chapter 1773: Their Happy Times 5

It’s just that she’s not Ding Jinshi’s biological mother, so she didn’t feel comfortable saying these things.

However, in this compound, everyone knew each other well. Ding Jinshi was pregnant again, and with twins, which almost everyone in the compound knew about. It’s a great joy, and those like Bian Muhe who knew about it didn’t particularly hide it. After going back, they mentioned it to friends and family, and as word spread, basically everyone who could know, knew.

Ding Jinshi’s stepmother thought for a moment, then said, "My in-law mother asked me today, saying someone in the compound saw Jinshi’s belly was pointy at the hospital a few days ago. Then she asked about Jinshi’s cravings and whether you’ve asked the doctor about the baby’s gender."

Ding Long frowned, while Ding Jinshi was puzzled.

"Isn’t it said in the countryside that sour means a boy and spicy means a girl, and that a pointy belly means a daughter, while a round belly means a son?" Ding’s father asked in a somewhat cold tone.

"I don’t know." Ding Long honestly didn’t know, he just instinctively felt that his mother’s questions were related to the baby’s gender.

He said, "I didn’t inquire about the baby’s gender during the prenatal check-up. Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s still my and Jinshi’s child. Since we’re expecting, we’ll have them, and they are all my and Jinshi’s Baobei."

"Hmm." Ding’s father was satisfied now, "Even if we add two more Little Princesses, that would be wonderful. Then we’ll have three blooming flowers!"

"I can share my pretty dolls and princess dresses with my two sisters! I’ll take them to play, teach them to sing and dance!" Ding Baobei bounced excitedly in place.

"Good girl, Grandpa will take you shopping tomorrow!" Ding’s father was delighted to hear that, knowing that his granddaughter would one day play the role of the big sister, the more sensible she is, the more endearing she becomes, "Baobei, no matter how many brothers or sisters Mom and Dad have, you will always be our little Baobei at home!"

"Little brothers and sisters should also be little Baobei." The little girl never felt the need for competition; she had been looking forward to brothers and sisters for a long time. To her, their existence was like the best gift from her loving parents.

Different from when Ding Jinshi was pregnant with Ding Baobei and had lots of free time, Ding Long hadn’t known about this pregnancy, so he expanded the company’s operations significantly, resulting in an extremely busy period.

Because of Ding Jinshi’s morning sickness, he delayed things here and there. Once that phase passed, he had no choice but to enter a hectic lifestyle like a spinning top, either being so busy at the company wishing he had 48 hours a day or traveling non-stop like an airborne nomad. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Luckily, at home, they had Auntie Xi to help out. Ding Long made it a point to be home by eight or nine whenever he wasn’t traveling, to have a late snack and stroll with Ding Jinshi before sleeping. If he was on a business trip, he would at least call her whenever he had a moment to say a few words.

Though Ding Long was busy, without an object of her grievances, the petulant pregnant woman couldn’t be too unreasonable. Besides occasionally complaining over the phone, Ding Jinshi was actually living quite comfortably.

During the day, Ding Baobei was at early education classes, and Ding Jinshi, with a big belly now, didn’t go out much. After all, with twins, they couldn’t risk any mishaps.

In the blink of an eye, the pregnancy was over eight months, and a belly carrying twins was noticeably much larger than one at a typical term.

"Where’s Ding Long?" Ding Jinshi asked when she got up in the morning and didn’t see Ding Long. Ever since they found out about her pregnancy, Ding Long had been busy, but he always stayed for breakfast before leaving. This morning, it was a rare occurrence that she didn’t see him when she got up.
