CHAPTER 644: CHAPTER 646: THE BABY’S GENDER

At around five or six months into her pregnancy, Mo Shu went for another prenatal checkup and had her blood drawn.

This time, the results were very pleasing.

The baby was very healthy, and the pregnant woman’s condition was also very good.

However, since it was twins, preparations had to be made for the possibility that the babies could be born prematurely.

Mo Shu had long heard about the high likelihood of premature birth with twins, and she felt a bit nervous when Grandpa Wu mentioned it.

But this nervousness faded after a couple of days.

As the fetuses moved more during the fifth and sixth months, Mo Shu’s belly had grown to almost the size of someone else’s at seven or eight months.

Her lower back was very sore, and her legs had begun to swell.

Walking was difficult for Mo Shu, as her legs could not close too tightly together; otherwise, it caused a pulling pain that made her feel like a duck.

Yu Mengmeng came running toward Mo Shu with a gardenia flower that had just bloomed in the garden, clutching it in her mouth and whirling around Mo Shu while behaving coquettishly.

Holding a dictionary in one hand, Mo Shu scooped Yu Mengmeng’s neck with the other hand and said, "Mengmeng, be good. Come pick names for your little brother and sister."

Yu Mengmeng seemed to partially understand, blinking her large, round eyes.

Uncertainty gleamed in her deep purple eyes, but she couldn’t help hopping joyfully when she saw Mo Shu handling the dictionary, nudging it with her head.

Lying halfway on a maternity mat, Mo Shu chuckled as Yu Mengmeng nudged and said, "Go get your dad over here."

Yu Mengmeng called out cheerfully and ran off.

In less than three minutes, Yu Mengmeng bounced back, with Yu Siqiao following behind her.

Yu Siqiao was on the phone as he walked over. Seeing Mo Shu lying on her side, his eyes were filled with a soft, gentle light.

Mo Shu saw him busy and did not speak to interrupt, waiting until he finished the call to ask, "Have you been very busy lately?"

"Not too bad, there are indeed some tricky issues, but they’re all minor and will be resolved soon," Yu Siqiao walked up to her, habitually placing his hand on her belly and gently kissed her face.

Mo Shu, smiling, lifted the dictionary in her hand, "I just saw this character, and I like it too."

Yu Siqiao looked intently, "Pian?"

"Mm," Mo Shu’s eyes curved, "Pian. If it’s a girl, Pianran would be really cute."

Pianran, not Pianpian.

Her best friend, Xia Pianpian, would start a brand new life in another world.

Yu Siqiao nodded, approvingly saying, "Good choice, Pianran or Pianran, both sound pretty."

"And this one," Mo Shu pointed at another character, "Sen."

"Sen..." Yu Siqiao frowned, "That’s a boy’s name."

"Right, we can’t just pick names for girls and not for boys, can we?" Mo Shu’s eyes curved again, "That would be so unfair."

"You already said, it’s two girls."

"What if it’s two boys?" Mo Shu countered.

"It won’t be." Yu Siqiao was certain.

Upon hearing this, Mo Shu asked seriously, "Didn’t we agree not to inquire about the baby’s gender? Did you secretly ask?"

"No," Yu Siqiao frowned, "I just think it’s more likely to be girls."

"If you care so much about the baby’s gender, why not just ask," Mo Shu’s eyes twinkled playfully, teasing, "Are you afraid of being disappointed, and that’s why you didn’t let me ask?"

Yu Siqiao:"..."
