Chapter 1022: Just one more child, that’s all.

Mo Xiuchen came out of the house with Wen Ran in his arms and proudly declared to everyone waiting at the door, “Ranran is pregnant with a boy and girl twins. In a few months, Ranran and I will have both a son and a daughter. Ah Kai, call and book a private room. I’m treating everyone to lunch.”

“Which place should I book?”

Gu Kai and the others had just heard from An Lin that Ranran was pregnant with twins.

Hearing Mo Xiuchen’s words, they naturally weren’t surprised, but joy was still unmistakably thick in their expressions.

“Let’s choose Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion since we are familiar with the environment.”

Mo Xiuchen thought for a moment before giving his answer.

Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion was a place they frequented, and just this month, it had become a restaurant under Haochen’s subsidiary.

Because of certain reasons, the previous name and decor style had not changed; everything remained as it had been originally.

On the way to Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion, the smile on Mo Xiuchen’s lips never faded, and seated in the passenger seat, Wen Ran felt a thread of happiness spreading through her heart as she looked at his smiling lips.

“Ranran, do you want to tell Bai Xiaoxiao the good news?”

At the red light, Mo Xiuchen turned to look at Wen Ran beside him, his gaze sweeping over her belly, his eyes filled with laughter were tender and doting.

Wen Ran blinked and said with a smile, “Let’s not tell her yet. We’ll give her a surprise later.”

“Haha, that’s fine too,” Mo Xiuchen immediately agreed, completely forgetting that he had previously promised Bai Xiaoxiao he would tell her the baby’s gender once he knew it.

These days, Wen Ran hadn’t been going to work, and Luo Haofeng hadn’t come to G City either. She also didn’t know about Luo Haofeng’s situation with Qi Meiling because she had been limited by morning sickness recently. Even more, she was unaware that Bai Xiaoxiao and Luo Haofeng had broken up.

“By the way, has Luo Haofeng been really busy lately? Why hasn’t he come back today?”

Mentioning Bai Xiaoxiao naturally made Wen Ran think of Luo Haofeng.

The smile on Mo Xiuchen’s lips was unchanged, and his low, magnetic voice calmly filled the car, betraying no sign of peculiarity, “He’s very busy.”

Just then, Wen Ran’s phone rang, and she answered it, ending that topic.

“Ranran, how did the check-up go?”

The call was from Bai Yiyi, who knew Wen Ran had an appointment for a pregnancy check-up today.

Wen Ran said happily, “It’s boy and girl twins.”

“Wow, boy and girl twins? Ranran, congratulations, congratulations. You’re having two at once, both a son and a daughter, that’s really something to be envious of.”

Wen Ran couldn’t help but chuckle and teased, “I’m just having one more than you.”

“Just one more?” Bai Yiyi repeated her words over the phone, her tone a world apart, “Ranran, saying such things, I might end up wanting to steal your baby. Do you know how jealous I am?”

“Then just have another son, and you’ll have two. By the way, do you have plans? Do you want to come out for lunch? It’s going to be quite lively today.”

“Ah, no, I have other commitments today,” Bai Yiyi declined gracefully.

At a moment like this, she knew Gu Kai would be there, and she really didn’t want to add to her own troubles.

After chatting a little while longer, they ended the call.

Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran were the last to arrive at Yi Pin Xuan Pavilion; coincidentally, Wen Ran hadn’t mentioned to Bai Yiyi on the phone that they were meeting at Yi Pin Xuan.

When they got there, they happened to run into Bai Yiyi and Li En.

“Yiyi, what a coincidence that you are here too,” Wen Ran said with surprise, looking at Bai Yiyi. Li En beside her furrowed his brows, obviously displeased with the interruption.

Bai Yiyi was very happy to see Wen Ran.

First, she stared at her belly for a moment before muttering, “Ranran, you’re carrying girl and boy twins, but you look no different from when I was pregnant.”

“There’s no difference? I’m just over three months along, and I’m already showing,” Wen Ran said, gently caressing her stomach, with a tender smile in her eyes.

“You’re too thin, you have to eat more in the future. Two babies need more nutrition than just one,” Bai Yiyi advised with concern, while Mo Xiuchen merely glanced briefly at Li En and kept his gaze fixed on Wen Ran.

“Yiyi, is it just the two of you? Why don’t you join us?”

After entering the restaurant, Wen Ran invited Bai Yiyi, who declined gracefully, “Elder Brother Li and I have some matters to discuss. Which room are you in? I’ll come up later.”

Since they had run into each other, they would definitely stop by to say hello later.

Third Floor

In the private room, besides their group of friends, there was a new member today.

That would be Fang Zhiwei, the girlfriend Gu Kai had just started dating not long ago.

When Mo Xiuchen and Wen Ran arrived, Gu Kai had just finished introducing Fang Zhiwei to everyone. Aside from Qin Mu and An Lin who were not aware, the others in G City were also taken aback by the news.

Especially when Gu Kai said that Fang Zhiwei was his girlfriend.

This piece of information left everyone dumbfounded for quite a while until a flicker of astonishment crossed Qin Mu’s eyes, and a slight arc formed on his lips, “Ah Kai, you got a girlfriend and didn’t even tell us. You’ll have to drink a few penalty shots later. You decide.”

Gu Kai nodded readily, “No problem.”

Fang Zhiwei, seeing this, smiled and said, “Actually, it’s all my fault, it’s nothing to do with Ah Kai.”

“Miss Fang, how could this be blamed on you?”

Someone asked.

Gu Kai turned to look at Fang Zhiwei but didn’t speak.

Fang Zhiwei’s smile was generous, “I felt that my relationship with Ah Kai wasn’t stable yet and didn’t want to publicize it too soon, which is why he didn’t tell his friends about us.”

Today, in fact, was only their third meeting.

Of course, if not counting the past interactions and starting from their blind date, thereafter, by coincidence, Gu Kai visited T University where Fang Zhiwei taught, and the two had a meal together.

Upon seeing Wen Ran and Gu Kai come in, Fang Zhiwei immediately stood up and congratulated Wen Ran.

Before seeing Fang Zhiwei, Wen Ran hadn’t expected her brother to bring her along, and a hint of surprise flickered in her eyes before she revealed a radiant smile.

“Bro, you invited Sister Wei here without giving me a heads-up,” Wen Ran asked Gu Kai with a smile.

Gu Kai curled his lip into a smile and poured her a glass of water. “Isn’t it a surprise for you?”

During the meal, Gu Kai indeed drank three penalty shots, and Fang Zhiwei watched him down the alcohol like water, frowning with concern but not advising him against it, only attentively pouring him water.

Wen Ran saw how Fang Zhiwei took care of her brother, yet she couldn’t feel happy about it.

Fang Zhiwei had told her last time that she liked Gu Kai, and today her attentiveness towards Gu Kai was obviously genuine to any discerning eye.

But Gu Kai’s behavior towards Fang Zhiwei, though polite and even serving her food, lacked the tender affection in his eyes that a man has for a woman he loves.

Midway through the meal, Gu Kai and Qin Mu stepped outside to smoke, and Qin Mu asked with concern, “Ah Kai, are you planning to get married?”

“Maybe. Mo Xiuchen is about to be a dad, and I’m only two months younger than him. I haven’t even gotten married yet, and my dad is nagging me about it every day.”
