Chapter 306 - 306: The End
Extra Chapter 3: Parallel Side Story
At the end of the same year, Nan Ge suddenly realized that she was not feeling well. She did not have a good appetite and was not energetic. Most importantly, her period seemed to have been delayed for a long time.
Because she was not feeling well, she did not go to work today. Shen Yanqing was still at the company.
Just in case, she secretly ordered takeout and bought all kinds of pregnancy test kits.
It was not until everything pointed to her being really pregnant that she called Shen Yanqing.
However, she was not as calm as she had imagined.
“Are you busy?”
She tried her best to stabilize her voice.
The background sound on Shen Yanqing’s side was a little noisy. “I’m inspecting the shop outside.”
“Oh, okay.” She acknowledged a few times and said hesitantly, “When are you coming back? Do you have to work overtime?”
“Not today. I’ll go back on time.” Shen Yanqing asked carefully, “What’s wrong?
Do you need me to go back early?” “No need, no need. I’m just asking you out of boredom.”
“You didn’t go to the office today?”
“No… I suddenly don’t want to go today, so I’m resting at home.” Nan Ge felt that she could not talk about this over the phone. It was better to wait for Shen Yanqing to go home.
After hanging up, Nan Ge sat on the bed in a daze. She did not dare to move and even reflected on why she did not eat breakfast.
Enduring the discomfort, she ordered takeout that was considered nutritious. However, after taking two bites, she felt a little nauseous.
Before Shen Yanqing returned, she had been searching for information about pregnancy on the browser.
As she searched, she could not resist her sleepiness and fell asleep on the sofa.
Shen Yanqing felt that she had another motive for calling. He was afraid that something had happened to her, so he rushed back immediately.
Seeing that Nan Ge was still asleep, he did not make a sound to disturb her. He picked up the thin blanket and covered her with it.
As soon as he took a step back, he stepped on something and it made a soft sound. He followed the sound and picked up a takeout order from the ground.
Various brands of products appeared on the palm-sized list.
However, they had one thing in common: pregnancy test kits. When Nan Ge woke up, she saw Shen Yanqing sitting not far away.
“You’re awake?”
Nan Ge did not answer and subconsciously looked at the time. “I didn’t sleep for a long time. Why are you back?”
She thought it was already night time but it was not time for him to get off work yet.
“I came back early after I was done.” He did not explain further. As he went forward to help her up, he asked, “Are you feeling unwell?” “Ah, a little.” Her face was pale and she looked listless.
“Let’s go to the hospital. I have an appointment with the doctor.” Nan Ge stopped drinking water. “When did you make the appointment?” “A little while ago.”
“I don’t need to see a doctor.” Afraid that he would misunderstand, Nan Ge quickly said, “I think I know why I’m not feeling well. I…”
Shen Yanqing smiled and nodded. “I know.”
“Huh?”
“Don’t be afraid. Let’s go to the hospital for a simple checkup first. Let’s confirm if it’s true. If it’s not, let’s go to another doctor, okay? If we keep dragging like this, your health will deteriorate.”
After she got pregnant, Nan Ge stayed at home and started to recuperate.
Shen Yanqing also brought most of his work home to accompany her as much as possible.
There were more maids at home. In order to chat with her and relieve her boredom, Shen Yanqing specially hired a few younger maids so that they could have common topics.
Because they were twins, Nan Ge had to pay special attention to her health in the early stages. The elders of the Nan and Shen families came to visit her every day.
As the due date approached, Nan Ge was admitted to the hospital early. She could not sleep almost every night and was so afraid that she kept hugging Shen Yanqing and crying.
Fortunately, the two children were more sensible and did not make her suffer too much. Everything went smoothly.
Slowly, the two children reached the age of kindergarten.
Nan Ge was a little reluctant and worried that the two of them would not be used to it, especially her second child, Yuan Yuan. He was a little clingy and quiet. In comparison, the older one called Tuan Tuan was more sensible.
However, unexpectedly, on the day of school, the two children held hands and followed the teacher without any hesitation. They were so happy that they even forgot to turn around and say goodbye to their parents outside the door.
Nan Ge,
She thought that Yuan Yuan would at least cry. Unexpectedly, Nan Ge cried in the end.
Shen Yanqing took the lollipop in his pocket that he was going to use to coax Yuan Yuan and comforted her. Only then did Nan Ge not feel so sad.
The kindergarten had a lot of parent-child activities, and they invited at least one parent to participate. Because she knew that Shen Yanqing had some trauma when he was young, and she also knew that he did not want to make the same mistake with the twins, Nan Ge directly put aside her new job and specially rushed back from overseas to participate with Shen Yanqing.
Both of them hoped to give their two children a perfect childhood.
At the parent-child event, the family of four changed into the parent-child outfit that the kindergarten had helped prepare.
When Nan Ge saw Shen Yanqing come out, she hugged the two children and laughed for a long time.
The pink color and the eye-catching word “Dad” did not match Shen Yanqing’s appearance.
Nan Ge felt that if her brother saw this scene, he would laugh even louder than her.
Shen Yanqing clenched his fists and coughed lightly, trying to hide his embarrassment. “It’s okay, right?”
Of course, if his own tone was not so hesitant.
“Daddy is handsome!” Yuan Yuan was the first to praise him.
Tuan Tuan hesitated for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Nan Ge tried her best to hold back her laughter and gave him a thumbs-up like the two children. “Daddy is so handsome.”
Shen Yanqing,
The first parent-child activity exhausted Nan Ge so much that she panted heavily.
Other children’s parents only had to play once, but her family… had two children.
All the games came in doubles.
Shen Yanqing was a man, but he could take it. She had not been exercising recently and could not keep up.
After playing a few games, she could not help but sit down on the lawn and drink the fruit juice Tuan Tuan handed her without caring about her image.
“Why are all the games nowadays so hardcore?” Before she came, she thought that it was just some interactive games.
Who knew that there would be such a physically exhausting segment? She was already thin. When she was playing tug-of-war just now, she was almost sent flying by the parents opposite her.
Shen Yanqing squatted down and wiped her sweat. “I’ll go for the game later. Rest here for a while more.”
Nan Ge waved her hand. “I can still hold on for a while.” Since she was already here, how could she chicken out?
She still had a little desire to win.
“However, we have to use some tactics. In such a game, brute force alone is not enough. We still have to use our brains.”
That day, Nan Ge led the Shen family to win first place in the parent-child event.
Ever since elementary school, Yuan Yuan had become mischievous. He did not like to study and was very far behind Tuan Tuan.
In the first final exam of elementary school, Yuan Yuan was ranked last.
During the parent-teacher conference, the teacher asked who Yuan Yuan’s parents were and was most likely going to “criticize” them. Nan Ge had been afraid of the teacher since she was young. Even though she was no longer a student, she still subconsciously lowered her head when she sat down. She almost hid under the table. She kept poking Shen Yanqing beside her. “You, you, you.”
Shen Yanqing gestured for her to rest assured and stood up to respond to the teacher.
The teacher was a middle-aged man. He looked at Shen Yanqing and asked, “1 want to ask if you have no time to supervise Shen Xi’s studies recently.
“No matter how busy you are with work, you should be more concerned about the child’s situation. Is work more important than the child?”
Nan Ge could not bear to leave Shen Yanqing alone to be scolded. She silently raised her hand.
The teacher was a little surprised. “What’s the matter?”
Nan Ge got up and the couple stood side by side.
“I’m sorry, Teacher. I’m Shen Xi’s mother. I’ve been supervising his studies recently. His father has been on a business trip.”
Nan Ge would never have thought that one day, she would stand in the classroom with Shen Yanqing and be criticized by the teacher.
When the parent-teacher conference ended, it was drizzling outside. Shen Yanqing did not bring an umbrella, but Nan Ge had a small floral umbrella in her bag.
The two of them looked at each other. Shen Yanqing helplessly opened the umbrella, held it up, and brought her under the umbrella.
Nan Ge crossed her arms and was still angry. “If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have helped take the fire.”
Thinking of her display of loyalty earlier, Shen Yanqing could not help but laugh. He hugged her tighter and said teasingly, “It’s all thanks to Mrs. Shen for standing up in time. Otherwise, I really wouldn’t have been able to take it alone. ”
. How dare you say that! It’s your fault for indulging Yuan Yuan.”
“It’s my fault. I’ll write a self-reflection letter when I get back and hand it to Mrs. Shen later?”
“Ah, I forgot that I promised Tuan Tuan and Yuan Yuan that I would bring them to the movies today! Let’s go, let’s go. We should still be able to make it!”
Nan Ge put away the umbrella and held Shen Yanqing’s hand. She ran out into the rain…
The drizzle and the evening wind intertwined and slowly fell into the world. They were like lovers filled with love, unrestraint, and lingering..
