Chapter 1390: What's Wrong

She collected two books on machinery, and upon leaving, was also given several sheets of manuscript paper, a bottle of ink, and a Yongsheng brand fountain pen, which counted as an unexpected bonus.

All the way, Liu Chuxue was excited, not only because she had secured this job, but also because of the recognition of her translation skills; today she had also witnessed what true rigor meant. In just a short afternoon, she had been investigated to the bottom of her soul. Fortunately, her academic grades at school had always been at the top, and she had indeed studied foreign languages under a retired teacher. Although she had only learned the bare surface, it was enough to cover her tracks.

Moreover, someone had tested her in the afternoon and found that, just as she had claimed, she possessed great talent for languages. After hearing something once, she could remember most of it and even stammer it out. This made the leaders of the First Machinery Ministry feel they had found a treasure.

They even said they would find her some other foreign language learning tapes later, urging her to learn more languages whenever she had time. This truly hit the mark.

Just as she was still immersed in her joy, she heard Mo Ruhua's voice: "Sister-in-law, you're back?"

Liu Chuxue straightened her posture: "You're back."

Mo Ruhua nodded: "By the way, Sister-in-law, do you have any ideas for the matter I entrusted to you?"

Liu Chuxue poured her a cup of the sour plum soup she had brewed herself. Instead of answering directly, she spoke up: "Strictly speaking, I am a few years younger than you. Since we aren't much different in age, wouldn't it be more comfortable to call each other by our names? What do you think?"

Mo Ruhua was stunned for a moment, then reacted: "Sure. From now on, I'll call you Chuxue, and you call me Ruhua."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "That's much more intimate."

Mo Ruhua took the cup Liu Chuxue handed her: "What is this?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Taste it and see if you can tell."

Before the sour plum soup even touched her lips, Mo Ruhua laughed: "Sour plum soup, right?"

Mo Ruhua didn't even wait for Liu Chuxue to reply before taking a sip: "So refreshing. Where did you get it?"

Liu Chuxue smiled: "I brewed it myself."

Mo Ruhua immediately gave a thumbs-up: "Impressive. The taste is quite authentic."

After speaking, she still asked: "Chuxue, how is my matter? Do you have any ideas yet?"

As she spoke, she put down the cup and clasped her hands together: "Please, the principal is pressing me hard. I really have no choice. It's already mid-August. The principal is worried I won't finish before school starts."

Liu Chuxue smiled: "Why the rush? I'll give it to you first thing tomorrow morning. We went out to run errands today and didn't get around to your matter."

Mo Ruhua nodded: "That explains it. I saw your door locked when I came back at noon."

Thinking of the triplets in her belly, she couldn't hold back and pointed at her stomach: "Let me tell you, Fu Yan Cheng and I went to Peking Union Medical College Hospital today for an ultrasound. There are triplets in my belly!"

Hearing this, Mo Ruhua forgot to swallow the sour plum soup in her mouth: "What?"

There, with those two words spoken, the sour plum soup dripped down her chin.

This sight made Liu Chuxue laugh outright. She also fumbled in her pocket to pull out a handkerchief and hurried toward the water basin in the courtyard.

In three quick motions, she cleaned herself up, then rushed back in a few steps: "Are you really pregnant with triplets?"

Liu Chuxue smiled and touched her belly: "Of course it's true."

Mo Ruhua immediately grabbed Liu Chuxue's hand: "You are too amazing. No wait..."

Liu Chuxue asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

She smiled and leaned close to Liu Chuxue's ear: "It's your husband, Company Commander Fu, who is amazing."

After speaking, she laughed and quickly dodged away, fearing Liu Chuxue would punch her.
