Chapter 1143 - 1146: Joy of Having Twins 5
"Big brother?"
"Big brother, are you still there?"
Oh no!
Could it really be that Chenxing was right?
My big brother wouldn’t be like that, would he?
He called out again, "Big brother? Could it really be that you would... beep... beep..." Before Nan Baihao could finish, the sound of a busy signal came through the phone—the other party had already hung up!
Nan Baihao’s expression froze completely. He looked at Chenxing, utterly at a loss for words. He hadn’t expected his big brother to be this kind of person!
Chenxing chuckled, rubbing her own belly with a laugh filled with lingering fear, "Good thing I’m having a boy."
"...Uh, haha, maybe big brother just needs some time to process it. After all, he’s always wanted a boy, and suddenly having to accept two girls might feel a bit disillusioning. But it’s fine. When we get home and tell him it’s actually two boys, he’ll definitely go crazy with excitement! Then you can tease him a little more!"
She turned her head, looking out the window, "Brother Baihao, let’s drive."
Just then, her phone started ringing. The caller ID displayed "Husband"—it was Gu Shaocheng. Chenxing stared at her phone, unsure whether to pick up or not. Could it be a call just to yell at her?
With a hesitant expression, she glanced at Nan Baihao.
The other party no longer seemed as confident in denying that big brother preferred boys over girls. He glanced at the phone and said, "Pick up, see what big brother has to say. If he starts yelling at you, just tell him the truth, and it’ll be fine."
Was she really going to answer?
Chenxing mulled it over, the phone ringing again and again. Nan Baihao, being the impatient type, saw that she still lacked the courage to pick up, so he simply walked over and pressed the answer button—then put it on speaker.
Chenxing perked up her ears, wary, her voice carrying some frustration and a hint of a sob, "Hello."
"Why didn’t you answer the phone?" From the other end, Gu Shaocheng didn’t immediately lash out at her as she had feared. Instead, his tone was as gentle as ever, his voice cutting through time and space, speaking softly, "Have you been crying?"
Chenxing replied sullenly, "No."
The person on the other end chuckled, assuming she was being evasive, and his low, amused voice followed, "What are you crying about? I already know everything. Haven’t you always liked girls? Now you’ve gotten exactly what you wanted, shouldn’t you be smiling instead of crying? Especially crying in front of another man—aren’t you embarrassed, hmm?"
His words lingered, with a soothing quality.
Nan Baihao silently laughed nearby; see, big brother isn’t yelling at you—he’s comforting you, isn’t he?
Chenxing’s beautiful eyes flickered in surprise, her voice soft as she asked, "You’re not mad at me? Even though you wanted boys, and now it’s two girls... my belly is just stubborn. I thought you’d be really angry and blame me."
"I feel like crying," Gu Shaocheng replied slowly, "How could it be two girls? Now you’ve gotten your wish, and my dream’s fallen through."
"Are you really that upset? Does that mean you don’t like the girls in my belly? And by extension, you don’t like me anymore?"
"I’m the one who’s stubborn, not you. Why wouldn’t I like you?" Gu Shaocheng sighed audibly from the other end, "I haven’t managed to give you two boys, but fine, girls it is. You love girls anyway, and now you’ve got what you asked for. No more crying, okay? Don’t throw tantrums and cry in front of other men—it’s so embarrassing for me. If you need to cry, save it for when you’re in front of me. Now get in the car and behave."
