Chapter 884: Babies that Look Like Their Father

In every city, there are people who bid goodnight at first light. They are wandering spirits of this world, lonely souls abandoned by the night. Yan Huan used to be one of them.

It was a miserable time when insomnia plagued her and everyone abandoned her.

Her hate for certain people was bone-deep, and she had to get her revenge.

“What’s wrong?” Lu Yi touched her face. They just received good news, so why was she unhappy all of a sudden?

Yan Huan summoned up a smile. “The doctor said I might have antenatal depression.”

“Don’t worry. Everything’s fine, no?” soothed Lu Yi. “Yibin has already arranged everything. The babies will be here in two months.”

Yan Huan gripped his finger like a kitten, gave a light squeeze, and closed her eyes. She had grown a lot more taciturn these days, but Lu Yi didn’t put much thought into it, assuming it was because of her weariness. She had been busy for the whole day after all.

Yan Huan stirred and sat up carefully. Lu Yi was asleep. He was looking unhealthily pale, a paleness that was incongruous with the rest of him. The reason behind it came to Yan Huan as a surprise.

She adjusted Lu Yi’s blanket and lied back down. This was the first time she couldn’t sleep in a while.

She stroked her belly and smiled, a smile that gave away her bitterness and left a bitter aftertaste in her mouth.

“Su Muran, the Su Family...” she muttered. Her bone-deep hatred toward them never dissipated. Lu Yi did not realize Yan Huan was awake, even though in the past, he would have stirred at the slightest movement from her.

He was sound asleep. Had he ever been this feeble, in this life and the last?

For the first time in her life, Yan Huan was starting to believe in fatalism.

Did Lu Yi have to donate his blood to Su Muran because she did the same in her previous life? But that doesn’t matter; now that she knew about it, she will put an end to it.

Lu Yi turned around when he was at the doorway. Yan Huan was still asleep with no signs of illness. Her temperature was normal when he checked her forehead too. There was nothing He Yibin, or anyone else, can do about her mild antenatal depression, but that will most likely go away after she gives birth.

He shut the door gently and left. Unbeknownst to him, Yan Huan’s eyes opened as the door shut. She sat up and stretched lazily. Just because she couldn’t move around as freely as before didn’t mean she had to live like a living corpse like Su Muran.

She walked to the kitchen, picked up the receiver, and dialed a number.

“It’s me, Mom. I’m going to the hospital later for my 4D ultrasound report. You can come with me if you want a sneak-peek of your grandson.”

Ye Shuyun agreed vehemently. When she arrived later, she was overjoyed at the sight of Yan Huan’s belly. In the past, she cried all the time and would even cry herself awake at night, but these days she often laughed herself awake.

Her son was alive, and her grandson was on the way. Grandsons! Soon, soon.

The prospect of having a sneak-peek at her grandsons excited her to no end. She was all but sprinting on the way to the hospital.

She would be the first person to see her grandsons! Forget her husband and son! All she cared about now was her grandsons.

At the hospital, Ye Shuyun stared at the blurry image on the computer screen, mesmerized by what she was seeing.

“They look like Lu Yi,” she said, marveled by the advanced technology that allowed her to see babies’ appearances while they were in their mother’s belly. During her time, she only knew it was a boy (who looked more like his father) after giving birth to Lu Yi.

“Yes,” smiled the radiologist. “But they got their mother’s eyes.”

Ye Shuyun quickly looked at Yan Huan, who gave her a smile. Her large, bright eyes formed two crescents. They were beautiful eyes, and Ye Shuyun began to imagine how charming her grandsons would look with those eyes. The babies had their eyes closed, so she couldn’t validate the radiologist’s words, but she knew they would be really good-looking if she was right. So she had two grandsons. Too bad, she thought, the male line runs too strong in the Lu Family. Oh well. She and Lu Jin will just have to work hard to live to the day when their great-granddaughters are born.

Ye Shuyun kept her stuff and thought about asking Old Master Lu and Lu Jin over. In the end, she decided against it. Let them wait two more months. She’ll keep this for her son and daughter-in-law.

Yan Huan walked forward carefully. She could pretty much walk normally since the children were small. Thank goodness she went on a diet. Her stomach would have burst apart by now if she kept eating six meals a day.

Her stomach was a little bigger than most mothers-to-be, but not to a disconcerting extent.

She stopped when she saw, from afar, a woman at the doorway. She was wrapped in a few layers of clothes, like a vampire, with a hat, sunglasses, and a surgical-mask. Still, her figure gave her gender away. It was a woman, a woman with a ghastly pallor.
