Chapter 271: with translation of chapter title: 271

271 "I feel it should be that time on the balcony."

Tushan Jiu was forcibly sent to the hospital by several people; although Maomao had already taken her pulse, just in case they still needed to do a check-up, after all, establishing a maternity file is required for future childbirth.

After several hours of ordeal, the test results were finally obtained.

Except for the gender which could not be displayed, everything else was exactly the same as what Maomao had said.

Twins, four and a half weeks.

Looking at the report in her hand, Tushan Jiu thought for a moment and sent a message to Xie Shiyu.

【Husband, we had agreed to do things tonight, but now something unexpected happened and we can't do things.】

The message had just been sent when Xie Shiyu's phone rang from his side.

"What's wrong? Did you get hurt while catching ghosts? Anywhere uncomfortable? Where are you now? I'll pick you up and take you to the hospital." Xie Shiyu's tone carried a hint of panic.

Tushan Jiu hurriedly said: "No need, I'm already at the hospital. We can't do things because I'm pregnant; the doctor said we can't do things in the first three months. I was thinking about yesterday when I promised you, but now the doctor won't allow it..."

The other end of the phone stayed silent for a full half minute.

Then came a sound like a chair falling over.

Tushan Jiu recalled that when Xie Shiyu left in the morning, he seemed to have told her that he had an interview and an activity to attend today.

So he should now be at the venue or something similar.

As expected, from Xie Shiyu's side came many inquiring voices; Tushan Jiu only heard him say, "Sorry, my wife is pregnant, I need to go to the hospital to accompany her; I'll have Assistant Li take my place at the event."

Tushan Jiu knew, he was being handsome again.

After he finished speaking, he immediately said to her: "Wife, which hospital are you at? Don't be afraid, I'm coming over right now, wait for me."

Tushan Jiu's lips kept curling up as she told him the hospital's location and reminded him to drive slowly.

After hanging up the phone, Tushan Jiu suddenly felt something and turned her head to look.

Coincidentally, she made eye contact with Tushan Pu, the elder cousin who had come upstairs to take over the soul‑reaping shift.

Two seconds later, without waiting for Tushan Jiu to greet him, Tushan Pu waved his hand, opened the ghost gate, and dragged the old man's ghost inside.

As he ran, he shouted: "Come quickly, ghosts! Xiao Jiu is pregnant with twins; our old Tushan family ancestral grave is emitting green smoke! Come quickly, ghosts......"

With a bang, the ghost gate closed.

Tushan Jiu: "......"

Additionally, Wang Dongqing, Xiang Yichu, and Momu paused for a moment, then couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Wang Dongqing laughed so hard he squatted down.

Tushan Jiu also covered her face and laughed helplessly.

Maomao watched the several people laughing until they doubled over, pressed her lips, carefully recalled what Tushan Pu had just said, gradually curled the corners of her mouth, then laughed out loud, and even ended up laughing to tears.

Passersby nearby couldn't help but look at them, thinking these young people seemed a bit ill, their laughter was too sudden.

When Xie Shiyu arrived, Tushan Jiu was quietly sitting on a hospital chair, resting, waiting for him.

The afterglow of the setting sun fell on her smooth face, making the surrounding hustle and bustle vanish, the peaceful years became tangible; her tranquil beauty made it impossible to look away.

For some reason, he momentarily dared not approach.

His gaze fell on her belly; he felt a little unable to move his feet, as if it were somewhat unreal.

Tushan Jiu felt a gaze, and slowly opened her eyes.

At the moment their eyes met with Xie Shiyu, she curved her brows and eyes, saying, "You're here, Xie Shiyu."

"Mm, I'm here." Xie Shiyu stepped toward her, asking, "How are you? Anywhere uncomfortable?"

Tushan Jiu smiled: "You don't even ask how the babies are doing?"

"You're more important." Xie Shiyu bent over in front of her, kissed her forehead, then touched her face, saying, "Nothing is more important than you, so do you have any pregnancy reactions? Are they hard to bear?"

Tushan Jiu pulled him to sit down, saying, "I'm fine; I just vomited at the scene today, then Older Brother Wang said I might be pregnant, Maomao took my pulse and said I was, so they sent me to the hospital; I'm great, I feel no discomfort at all."

She shoved the report into Xie Shiyu's hand and happily shared: "Quick, look, quick, look, I'm pregnant with two! You're amazing! Counting the time, it seems like it was either the time in the study after we came back from our honeymoon, or the time on the living‑room balcony!"

"I feel it should be the balcony time."

"That's probably it; your intuition is usually quite accurate."

Fortunately, there weren't many people around, so the two of them freely discussed exactly which encounter had caused Tushan Jiu's pregnancy.

Xie Shiyu held her hand tightly with one hand, glanced at the various data on the report; although it showed normal, he still wasn't entirely reassured, so he called the private hospital of the Xie Family, asking them to prepare, as he wanted to bring Tushan Jiu in for a comprehensive check‑up.

The news of Tushan Jiu's pregnancy naturally spread quickly.

Not to mention others, just speaking of Old Master Xie, at the old residence he nearly jumped for joy.

He paced around, muttering, "Twins, twins! I'm going to be a great‑grandfather! It's really hard on little Jiu; hurry up and find me a few more top‑notch nutritionists to research recipes for little Jiu. She's suffering; we can't replace her, we can only try from all sides to make her more comfortable."

Xu Airu, as someone who has been through it, had already thought of this and started making contacts.

Xie Wenmo also made preparations, ready to take over the company's business at any time; if Tushan Jiu's pregnancy reactions became severe, there would be no one who could replace Xie Shiyu's presence, with her husband by her side she would be the most comfortable.

Xie Jingting and Xie Jingzhou also grinned happily.

They were going to become uncles!

The two of them had already begun researching what gifts to give when the child is born, as these two future uncles.

However, at this moment, Tushan Jiu, who was naturally wielding a ghost‑head knife and chasing ghosts, had no idea what was happening at the old residence.

Xie Shiyu's eyelids were twitching nonstop.

The reason was that, having just left the hospital, he was about to take Tushan Jiu to the private hospital under the Xie Clan Group for a check‑up when he received a call from Maomao saying, "That ghost swallowed the victim's soul, upgraded to a ferocious ghost, and fled in the chaos; have her calculate the approximate location so we can go after it."

It was just a matter of moving her fingers; Tushan Jiu did a quick calculation.

As a result of that calculation, the ferocious ghost was located less than ten meters away from her.

She immediately told Xie Shiyu to stop the car.

At first Xie Shiyu didn't know why; he thought she was feeling unwell, maybe wanting to vomit from pregnancy reactions, so he hurriedly stopped the car, undid his seat belt, and fetched water from the mini‑fridge for her.

The result was, just as the fridge lid was closed, he looked up and the person was gone.

Following his intuition, he looked toward the back of the car, only to see the ghost head knife appear out of thin air in Tushan Jiu's hand, and she directly slashed at the air five meters away.

Immediately after, a mournful cry rang out.

Frightened, Xie Shiyu hastily grabbed the water and got out of the car, running toward her.

But it seemed not over yet.

Xie Shiyu couldn't see, only hearing Tushan Jiu click her tongue impatiently, then she picked up the knife and chased off in another direction.

While running, she said: "Kids, Mom's taking you to catch ghosts; it might be a bit bumpy, so hold on tight."

Evil Ghost: '......'
