No one expected that I would end up pregnant with twins.

Upon investigation, it turned out that there were genetic traits for twins on Jing Chi's paternal side; his grandfather and great-uncle were twins.

Both families were overjoyed, treating me like a national treasure, almost to the point of worship.

When I was over eight months pregnant, I went to the hospital for a color ultrasound.

The head of the ultrasound department was a long-time friend of my mother-in-law and was also present at the time. When we came out, he said:

"When you give birth, I'll send a set of small blue and pink swaddles for the two babies."

It was clear, they were fraternal twins.

After the check-up, my mother-in-law asked Jing Chi to come to her office, so I sat on a bench outside the obstetrics department waiting for him.

I was looking at my phone when I heard someone call my name, "Lin Man, what are you doing here?"

I looked up and saw Chen Xiao holding a stack of papers, standing in front of me.

He looked me up and down in surprise, "You're pregnant?"

Obviously, with such a big belly, what else could it be other than pregnancy?

I couldn't be bothered to respond to him and continued scrolling on my phone.

Chen Xiao, however, sat down next to me, "When did you get married? Why didn't you tell me?"

"Who are you? Do I have to inform you when I get married?"

It was just ridiculous.

"Didn't you find out you were infertile before? How come you're pregnant again? If I had known, we wouldn't have divorced back then."

I rolled my eyes, "Big brother, can you please go away? Be careful, my husband might come back and beat you up."

"Fine, let him come, I'd like to see what kind of husband you've married." Chen Xiao crossed his legs and boasted next to me, "Back then, I asked you to be my lover, but you refused. As a divorced woman, what kind of good man could you marry? It wouldn't be a divorced man in his forties or fifties, right?"

Just then, Jing Chi returned and saw Chen Xiao:

"Wife, is he your friend?"

"No, he's my annoying ex-husband." I complained to him, "This guy is sitting here stubbornly. He said I'm a worthless divorced woman who can only marry an old man in his forties or fifties."

Jing Chi's face darkened immediately:

"Do you dare insult my wife? Do you want a beating?"

Chen Xiao looked up at Jing Chi, who was a head taller than him, and quickly explained, "Bro, it's a misunderstanding. My wife is also pregnant, I just wanted to chat when I saw Lin Man."

"Chat my ass! Did you say something offensive to Man Man?" Jing Chi grabbed his collar, ready to strike.

I stopped him, "Honey, don't hit him. I feel disgusted just seeing this person, it might affect the prenatal education."

Upon hearing this, Jing Chi let go, kicked Chen Xiao in the butt, and said, "Get lost quickly, don't let my wife see you again, it might affect the temperament of my son and daughter. Can you bear that responsibility?"
