Chapter 529: I Have Someone to Rely On, Too!

~7 min read 1,302 words

Yun Hua had been keeping watch by An Yinan's side the whole time. Chen Xun made new defense arrangements externally; with Delun gone, he handled the defense planning uniformly himself, without seeking further collective input.

"Awake?" Seeing An Yinan rubbing her eyes, Yun Hua hurriedly brought over a cup of water. "Drink some water."

An Yinan sat up, took a sip of water, and rubbed her temples.

She had been going over the process in her mind every night for the past few days, so she was a bit tired; otherwise, she wouldn't have fallen asleep so suddenly.

"Has your Chief left?" An Yinan asked.

Seeing her appearance, Yun Hua had thought she was fearless.

"He left!"

"But before he left, he instructed that you must get enough eight hours of rest every day."

"And you don't need to worry anymore now."

An Yinan nodded. If one could sleep, who would want to be busy working overtime!

With this busyness, another month passed...

During this period, several waves of people continuously probed the security here.

However, they were all caught; as for what could be interrogated out of them later, no one knew.

"Finally finished." An Yinan stretched and looked at her belly.

She didn't know if it was because of the twins, but at three months, her belly was already protruding. It was fine if she wore loose clothes, but if she wore even slightly tighter clothing, her belly could be seen.

If this continued until the time of birth, wouldn't she be a round ball!

"The plane to pick you up has arrived." Chen Xun looked at An Yinan with reluctance.

Except for the time at the Northeast Camp, this project was the longest they had spent together.

An Yinan tilted her head. "Go home early."

Chen Xun smiled and ruffled her hair. "Wife, you've worked hard."

His profession left him with no freedom.

His wife was three months along, and her belly had already started to show, yet he still had to go to the Military District to report on the mission and couldn't go home with her now.

An Yinan hooked her finger, and Chen Xun bent down to look at her at eye level. "What is it?"

An Yinan flicked his forehead. "I'm going home, there are many people to take care of me, I'm not working hard. You work well and go home early."

Chen Xun pursed his lips out of habit, but now he curled the corners of his mouth, wearing a smile. "Okay."

She left.

The Project Department where she had lived for two months.

It did not make her feel any attachment.

"It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back." Grandmother looked at Nan Nan; her mental state was good, and she wasn't injured, so she finally felt relieved.

The child was already pregnant, yet they still let her go on a mission; she didn't know what Yun Fei was thinking.

The old lady didn't know that this wasn't something her eldest uncle could decide, but rather a decision made by those above after synthesizing all the circumstances.

"Drink the soup quickly, it's stewed black-bone chicken soup. As soon as your eldest uncle called, I started stewing it." Liu Xicai brought the soup over; she had carefully skimmed off the oil on top and even added a few cilantro leaves.

An Yinan took a shallow sip; there was no morning sickness reaction, so she drank it down.

She didn't know what was going on; wasn't it said that pregnancy reactions happened before three months?

She was already three and a half months along, and she didn't know what was up with these two little ones; it had started again.

"Is the reaction still that severe?" Liu Xicai looked at An Yinan's cautious manner and knew the pregnancy reaction hadn't passed yet.

She looked at Nan Nan with heartache; folk remedies and secret recipes didn't work. For the sake of her body and the children, Nan Nan could only endure it.

"It's not that severe, it's just that I'm occasionally picky about food," An Yinan said.

She herself wasn't picky, but she didn't know what was up with these two children.

Could it be that twins have different tastes, one likes to eat and one resists?

Anyway, her appetite came in waves!

"Maybe the two little ones like different things." An Yinan touched her belly and smiled helplessly.

Liu Xicai and Grandmother's expressions froze at the same time.

"Two little ones?" Liu Xicai asked.

An Yinan blinked. "Didn't Eldest Uncle say? I only found out at the Project Department that it was two little ones, and we had already heard the fetal heartbeats long ago."

Liu Xicai had a smile on her face, but she had already started grinding her teeth.

As for Grandmother, she sat there with a stern face.

An Yinan nodded. Scolding me!

I have someone to rely on too!

Yun Fei was still interrogating people. A month had passed, and these people had given very little information, but the Military Department kept making attempts.

He suddenly sneezed.

"Commander, it's been so many days, you haven't rested for several days, please get some good rest," the Guard advised worriedly.

Yun Fei stood up. "I'm going back to the office to ask what the situation is over there."

They didn't have much time left now; they had to pry these people's mouths open.

An Yinan rested at the Dayuan for three days, sleeping for three whole days.

"Grandmother, I'm going back to school tomorrow," An Yinan said.

At that time, the situation was urgent, and she hadn't had time to ask for leave from school. She didn't know how those above had arranged it; two months had passed, and they were all about to graduate...

Thinking about it now, her schooling was...

"Going back tomorrow?" Grandmother asked.

An Yinan nodded. "There isn't much study left at school now; they've started internship assignments and graduation. Besides, I promised Professor Feng that I need to go to the Military District Hospital for an internship."

Her medical practitioner's license had arrived, and her internship at the Frontline was already sufficient, but she still needed to accumulate many more case studies, so she still had to work shifts at a hospital.

"Going to the hospital?" Grandmother looked at Nan Nan and asked, thinking to herself that going to the hospital was safe; she wouldn't have to leave Beijing, nor would she have to go on missions.

"Yes," An Yinan smiled.

As for the internship in the Economics Department, Liu Jianguo didn't even ask for her opinion; he had already declined it for her.

She had her own factory and her own shops; her successful cases could already be written into textbooks, so why would she need to squeeze in with others for an internship spot?

"Then will you live at home?" Grandmother asked.

An Yinan thought for a moment, "Grandmother, we'll talk about that when the time comes. My body is not convenient right now, so I'll see how the situation is then and decide."

"Alright," Grandmother nodded.

The next day, when An Yinan returned to Beijing University, she caused quite a stir!

"Do you know the student An from the Economics Department? She actually came back with a big belly."

"Don't you know? Her belly is already that big; I reckon it's been four or five months."

"What? Married? Impossible, who has ever seen her partner! I reckon..."

In a dormitory, a woman smiled with a ferocious expression, An Yinan, just how high and mighty are you? You're still just pregnant with a bastard!

As for the people in Dormitory 408, everyone was very busy and didn't hear any of the noise at all.

Mainly, they didn't have the time to gossip either.
