The moment Zhuang Nainai woke up and realized that she wasn’t at the Si residence, her heart sank. She suddenly had a bad omen.

  Could it be that…… something bad had happened to Mother Ding, so Si Zhengting brought her here?

  As she thought of this, she was hit by a wave of bitterness deep in her heart.

  Before she had lost consciousness, she heard “save the children” in the delivery room. When she heard that, her heart wrenched, as if something was grasping it.

  Tugging on Lin Xi’er’s sleeve tightly, Zhuang Nainai looked at her. She was afraid that she would hear bad news from her.

  Ding Mengya fell down the stairs because she wanted to save her. If she’s fine, the incident could be explained. But if she’s not…… wouldn’t there be a sore spot between Si Zhengting and her for the rest of their lives?

  Her fingers were trembling slightly. She had just woken up and was weak, but she grabbed Lin Xi’er’s sleeve tenaciously.

  As she watched her, heartache flashed across Lin Xi’er’s eyes. She pursed her lips before saying, “Nainai, are you hungry? I will bring you some porridge!”


  After saying this, she ran out as if she was escaping from her.

  When she saw Lin Xi’er like this, Zhuang Nainai’s heart felt even heavier.

  It seemed like…… she was indeed unwell.

  Lin Xi’er dawdled outside. After a long time, she finally brought in a bowl of porridge. Upon seeing her like this, Zhuang Nainai remained silent tactfully.

  She looked down at the porridge in the bowl. She knew that Lin Xi’er wouldn’t answer her questions even if she continued asking. Moreover, her body was really too weak right now. She needed to recuperate before she thought about anything else.

  The lochia in her body had not been fully discharged and she could feel waves of pain in her lower abdomen.

  She picked up the spoon and had a mouthful of porridge. The rich taste of the chicken soup assaulted her taste buds, causing her to be taken aback. Looking down at the bowl of porridge, she felt that the taste was so familiar that her heart ached.

  Why did this porridge taste so much like the one from the Si residence?

  Was it that although Si Zhengting had sent her here, he actually hadn’t forgotten her? He still visited her?

  If not, where did the porridge come from?

  As she thought of this, she suddenly saw a glimpse of hope. She picked up the spoon and devoured the entire bowl of chicken stock porridge quickly.

  She handed the bowl to Lin Xi’er. Before she could say anything, Lin Xi’er said, “You can’t have any more porridge. You just woke up and your body is too weak. You have to take it slow. You can have some more after one hour.”


  After Zhuang Nainai nodded, Lin Xi’er assisted her. “You should lie down. You must not get off the bed for no reasons throughout these seven days. Don’t overthink as well. Everything is fine. After seven days, I will tell you everything, okay?”


  Zhuang Nainai nodded again, but she could not help but ask, “Can you just tell me my babies’ gender?”


  After she heard this, Lin Xi’er’s eyes welled up. “They are twin boys.”


  Zhuang Nainai acknowledged her softly. However, she stared at the ceiling with helpless and hollow eyes.

  Her hands found their way to her tummy.

  Twin boys……

  Her children.

  She was slightly disappointed that she did not have girls, but she couldn’t even see her babies right now.

  She closed her eyes to stop herself from overthinking. However, a question was still bothering her.

  When she gave birth to her babies, she did hear their cries, but she did not actually see them. Although giving birth around seven months into pregnancy was not considered premature labor, considering that she was having twins, she was still scared.

  Just like every other mother, she was also worried about her babies’ health before they were even born.

  Her babies…… should be healthy, right?
