Chapter 1269: 310: Joyfully welcomed boy and girl twins_4

It’s clear that Du Jiaojiao is genuinely terrified of being pressured into marriage.

It’s as if not getting married would make her a criminal.

Why must women be obligated to marry?

Ni Yang smiled faintly, "It’s like how fish know whether the water is warm or cold—they know it instinctively. As long as you feel happy, that’s all that matters. Sister Jiaojiao, don’t worry, I would never pressure anyone to marry."

"Really?" Du Jiaojiao looked at Ni Yang with a hint of disbelief.

Ni Yang was probably one of the few people who truly supported her.

Ni Yang nodded, "I think it’s perfectly normal for independent women to choose not to marry. As long as you can take care of yourself and live without relying on others, that’s enough. Marriage, when well-managed, is heaven; but if it’s poorly managed, it can be hell. If you encounter a hypocrite or a scumbag, it’d be better not to marry at all. So, Sister Jiaojiao, I support you wholeheartedly—never marry just for the sake of marrying!"

"Yangyang! You’re my kindred spirit!" Du Jiaojiao exclaimed excitedly and hugged Ni Yang tightly.

That evening, Du Jiaojiao stayed overnight at the Ni Family home.

Three days later, Du Jiaojiao’s father arrived to take her back home.

Ni Yang brought out pre-rain Longjing tea to serve him.

"Thank you." Her father accepted the tea cup with both hands.

Ni Yang asked, "Are you heading back this afternoon? Won’t you stay here a few more days?"

Her father shook his head, "No, there are still some trivial matters back in Shanghai that need tending."

"Oh, I see."

After finishing his cup of tea, her father left with Du Jiaojiao.

...

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Shangguan Xi was admitted to the hospital.

She was about to give birth, and her belly was remarkably large. Some spots had appeared on her face, and because her belly was truly enormous, she needed two people to help her walk.

Little Ni Yun touched Shangguan Xi’s belly and exclaimed, "Sister Xiaoxi, your belly is so big! Ah! Your little niece kicked me!"

The thought of finally meeting the children soon made Shangguan Xi very happy. She laughed and said, "Your little niece sure is mischievous, isn’t she?"

Little Ni Yun nodded enthusiastically, "Yes, she’s way too naughty..."

Zhao Yu, standing nearby, felt a bit upset.

Even though she was older than Little Ni Yun, she was only going to be the children’s elder sister while Little Ni Yun could be their aunt!

It was simply unfair!

She wanted to be their aunt too! Ugh!

Before a Caesarean section, it’s prohibited to eat any food.

Grandma Wu was deeply worried that Shangguan Xi would feel hungry, so she approached the doctor and said, "Doctor, could you hang a few bottles of nutrient fluids for my granddaughter-in-law?"

The doctor chuckled and said, "Don’t worry, Grandma. Being on an empty stomach for a few hours won’t affect her health, and the surgery will begin shortly."

"It really won’t have any adverse effects?"

"Really, it won’t!"

Only then did Grandma Wu feel reassured.

Wu Chenjun stayed by Shangguan Xi’s side the entire time.

"Shangguan Xiaosi, the surgery is about to start. Are you scared?"

Shangguan Xi shook her head, "I’m not scared; I’m just excited to meet the two little ones. It’s me giving birth, not you. Why are you more nervous than I am?"

Seeing Wu Chenjun sweating profusely, Shangguan Xi couldn’t help but laugh.

This man was just too endearing.

Before long, the doctor arrived to notify them about the surgery.

Wu Chenjun grabbed the doctor’s sleeve and said solemnly, "Doctor, if there’s any danger during the surgery, please ensure the mother’s safety first!"

"Understood, don’t worry," the doctor responded, looking at Wu Chenjun with slight surprise.

Internally, the doctor marveled—husbands as considerate as Wu Chenjun were rare these days.

Not entirely reassured, Wu Chenjun continued, "Please make absolutely certain you prioritize my wife’s safety!"

"Got it!"

Ni Yang and Mo Qishen arrived only after Shangguan Xi had entered the delivery room.

"Has Sister Xiaoxi gone into the delivery room already?"

Grandma Shangguan nodded, "She just went in!"

"How long does the surgery usually take?" Ni Yang asked.

Grandma Shangguan answered, "About an hour and a half to two hours."

A large group of people had gathered outside the delivery room.

After more than an hour, loud cries suddenly echoed from inside.

"Wah-wah—"

Then came a second cry...

"She delivered! She delivered!" Grandma Wu excitedly grasped Chen Qian’s hand.

Chen Qian was equally thrilled, "Mom! I’m officially a grandma now!"

Grandma Shangguan clasped her hands together in prayer, "Thank you, Bodhisattva! Truly, thank you!"

Shortly after, two nurses appeared with two tiny babies in their arms. "Are you all Shangguan Xi’s family members?"

"Yes, we are!" Wu Chenjun hurriedly replied, "I’m Shangguan Xi’s husband! How is she?"

Grandma Wu interjected impatiently, "I’m Shangguan Xi’s grandmother!"

The nurse continued, "Congratulations! Shangguan Xi delivered boy and girl twins; both the mother and children are safe. This is the brother, and this is the sister!"

With that, the nurse handed the baby boy to Wu Chenjun, while another nurse handed the baby girl to Grandma Wu.

Grandma Wu was overflowing with excitement, "Oh, my darling baby, look how beautiful this little sweetheart is!"

Grandma Shangguan and Grandma Zheng quickly crowded around to take a closer look at the babies.

Moments later, a few of the elders carried the babies off to bathe them, leaving Wu Chenjun, Shangguan Dehui, Ni Cuihua, and Ni Yang at the delivery room doors, waiting for Shangguan Xi.

It wasn’t until Shangguan Xi was wheeled out that Wu Chenjun finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurried over to her side, took her hand, and said, "Honey, you’ve worked so hard!"

Shangguan Xi’s voice was weak, "Where are the babies?"
