Chapter 311: then translation of title
Tushan Jiu thought for a moment, it seemed only possible this way.
As she was thinking, her phone rang.
It was Xie Shiyu's side, the urgent meeting had ended, and he was now on his way from the company.
Originally, Wang Dongqing also invited Xie Shiyu to come together, but he had a temporary overseas urgent meeting, so he went ahead first, saying he'd come over after finishing.
Tushan Jiu didn't tell him the good news at first, thinking she'd give him a surprise when she got home tonight.
So when Xie Shiyu came, everyone was just chatting casually, and no one mentioned that Tushan Jiu was pregnant.
After finishing the meal and parting with everyone, Tushan Jiu and Xie Shiyu also got into the car.
Xu Airu and the others hadn't seen the kids for about half a month, and since both she and Xie Shiyu were busy, they sent the two little ones to the old family home.
Today Xie Shiyu drove himself here without a driver.
Since he hadn't drunk alcohol, he naturally didn't need a designated driver.
Before driving, Xie Shiyu said, "Wife, I'm a bit tired today; let's not go pick up those two brats, okay?"
As he said that, Tushan Jiu saw a hint of expectation in his eyes.
She pursed her lips and smiled, naturally knowing he was expecting that, because if they didn't go pick up the kids tonight, the Shengshi Haoting would be just the two of them, and he could then do as he pleased.
If she hadn't known she was pregnant, Tushan Jiu might have been tempted.
But, now it's not possible.
She has experience; last time she was pregnant, the doctor emphasized that the first three months are off-limits for that!
Seeing her shake her head, a flicker of disappointment crossed Xie Shiyu's eyes; he gently pinched her chin, turned her face toward him, and planted a firm kiss on her lips.
There was no trace of alcohol; after he'd had his fill of kissing, he asked her, "You didn't drink tonight?"
Tushan Jiu nodded, "Mm, I didn't."
Xie Shiyu didn't press further, just assumed she didn't want to drink, pulled the seat belt over her and buckled it, then sat properly, started the car, and headed onto the main road.
"By the way, wife, are you free tomorrow? I'll call Director Lin to make a doctor's appointment for us to get checked out."
Tushan Jiu snapped her gaze at him, eyes widening, about to ask how he could possibly anticipate that?
But Xie Shiyu continued, "Your irregular period needs a thorough check; really, it has no health impact on you, only then can I relax."
Tushan Jiu let out a breath, she'd been scared; she'd even thought Xie Shiyu could foresee her pregnancy, which would be too 'mystical', even competing with her for food!
All right, since he's taking me to the hospital tomorrow, let's just go and get all the necessary tests done.
This was the first time Tushan Jiu had kept something to herself without saying it.
Returning to the old family home, the two just stayed there; since they had to go to the hospital tomorrow and it was already late, they didn't bother moving.
The next morning, Xie Shiyu and Tushan Jiu went to the hospital.
Upon arriving at the hospital entrance, the director was already waiting there.
The director had arranged a comprehensive checkup, inviting the most authoritative experts from both obstetrics and gynecology.
After all, Tushan Jiu had given birth before, and he worried her irregular period might stem from delivery issues, so he had the chiefs of both departments come for a joint consultation.
Tushan Jiu looked at the dozen or so white coats and felt it was really over the top.
Xie Shiyu never overlooks her concerns, so he also had that domineering CEO vibe, saying things a bit exaggerated to ensure a thorough examination.
The two entered the examination room.
The doctor first asked Tushan Jiu how late her period was this time.
Before she could even answer, Xie Shiyu started chatting with several doctors.
Tushan Jiu was dumbfounded, because he answered even the small details she hadn't paid attention to with more certainty than she could.
For the final question, the doctor directly turned to ask Xie Shiyu.
"Has the wife tested herself to see if she's pregnant?"
As soon as that was said, Xie Shiyu also froze for a moment.
As they say, concern leads to confusion; he really did make a foolish mistake.
He thought, however, it doesn't matter; getting checked here is the same.
But when he turned his head to look at Tushan Jiu, she was covering her mouth and chuckling.
In an instant, he stiffened, his gaze drifting down to Tushan Jiu's belly.
Several doctors also caught on, exchanging smiles.
Alright, we can dismiss the obstetrics team; just keep the gynecology team.
The chief expert who had previously overseen Tushan Jiu's first delivery began operating the computer to issue various test orders.
Tushan Jiu took Xie Shiyu's hand and went out to wait, not staying in the examination room.
Sitting on the hallway chairs, Tushan Jiu smiled and asked him, "Surprised? Unexpected?"
Xie Shiyu had already come back from his surprise and reacted, "You found out last night?"
"Mm-hmm, yes, at dinner I had wanted to drink, but smelling the alcohol made me nauseous; Maomao took my pulse and said I was pregnant, a single fetus, around four weeks, a girl!"
Xie Shiyu froze again, "You're carrying a girl?"
Tushan Jiu nodded, the corners of her mouth lifting high: "Yes, this time it's our little cotton-padded jacket!"
History is always strikingly similar.
As her words fell, both sensed something and simultaneously turned their heads toward a not-so-distant spot.
Tushan Wen (second cousin) was on duty today, filling in for a friendly ghost official to collect a soul, and ended up bumping into this scene.
His eyes were wide as bells, his mouth could drop an egg, utterly not exaggerated.
Tushan Jiu's eyelid twitched; she extended her palm-out hand toward him, telling him to listen to her first before going to notify.
After all, two generations in a row have been girls; this can be said to be unprecedented in the Tushan Family, enough to shake half the underworld.
Xie Shiyu had long ago gotten Tushan Jiu to open a permanent Technique for him, just so he could see the same world as her, so naturally he could also see Tushan Wen.
He saw Tushan Wen gulp hard, then reached out his hand and said, "Little sis, don't speak first, let me take it slow, take it slow......"
Tushan Jiu: "......"
After a moment, Tushan Wen lowered his head and rummaged in his pocket: "Don't worry, I'm not as fierce as my older brother."
Tushan Jiu let out a sigh of relief.
The next second, Tushan Wen pulled out a small black walkie-talkie.
He smiled and gestured to Tushan Jiu, saying, "Shouting is so tiring; this new product from Yi'an Company is more efficient and precise, with signal coverage over the entire underworld!"
As he spoke, he pressed the Tushan Family's exclusive channel button: "Hey hey hey, notice, notice, major notice, trouble the elders to come to our family's ancestral grave and burn some incense, our little Jiu is pregnant!"
Tushan Wen, without releasing the button, glanced at Tushan Jiu and then at Xie Shiyu.
He bared his big white teeth and shouted loudly into the walkie-talkie:
"It's a girl!"
