Rebirth as the Richest Woman in the World
Chapter 739 - 741, twins (second update)

Chapter 739: 741, twins (second update)

After all... it was his fault.

Jian Yi regretted it deeply.

But in this world, there has never been such a thing as Regret Medicine.

"Do you know each other?" Mo Zhixuan looked at the two people, perhaps his possessiveness was acting up, he did not like Chu Jin knowing other men, and moreover, they seemed so familiar.

Jian Big Brother.

Heh.

When Chu Jin called herself, it was always with both her first and last names.

But when calling this man, she kept calling him Jian Big Brother.

What a lousy habit.

"Yes," Chu Jin nodded slightly, then said, "Jian Big Brother is my godparents’ disciple."

"What’s your name?" Mo Zhixuan turned to Jian Yi. He had many adjutants by his side, and Li Xunen dealt with all the trivial matters, so Mo Zhixuan did not know Jian Yi’s name.

"Your Excellency, my name is Jian Yi, ’simple’ Jian, ’devoted’ Yi." Looking up at the tall Mo Zhixuan, Jian Yi suddenly felt a surge of inferiority.

Mo Zhixuan was the city-razing youth, a hero in everyone’s eyes, the belief of the entire Superpower World, the figure he had idolized since childhood.

Originally, he too had the chance to become such a person.

Unfortunately, he did not grasp it well at the time.

Thinking of this, Jian Yi felt utterly uncomfortable as his heart turned upside down.

"Alright, I’ve remembered your name," Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, took the bicycle from Jian Yi’s hands, and looked towards Chu Jin, "Let’s go."

"Goodbye, Jian Big Brother," Chu Jin waved to Jian Yi before sitting on the rear seat of the bicycle.

Jian Yi watched as the two of them rode away, his eyes filled with indistinct sorrow.

Chu Jin’s appearance in a place like Poland Mountain meant her identity was surely not ordinary, something he should have thought of long ago.

Jian Yi clenched his fists, eventually turning to leave.

Blue sky, white clouds, gentle breeze, slanting sun.

On the endless Wutong Avenue, a young couple was cycling, slowly riding under the shade of the trees.

The breeze lifted Chu Jin’s jet-black, lustrous hair, creating a beautiful curve in the air.

"I didn’t see it coming, your cycling skills are pretty good..." Chu Jin, with one arm gently around Mo Zhixuan’s waist and the other holding her phone, teased.

"Of course," Mo Qingyi said with prideful coquetry, "I am indeed capable of anything. Now you should realize how lucky you are, right? Ordinary people don’t get to enjoy such treatment."

Only in front of Chu Jin would Mo Zhixuan relax like this.

A person with a cold face for too long would forget that there were other expressions in this world.

The arrival of Chu Jin made him discover a different self.

"Cut it out, will you stop bragging?" Chu Jin raised an eyebrow, unamused.

Mo Zhixuan freed a hand to ruffle her hair, "What I said is all true."

"Focus on cycling! Safety first! What’s wrong with you?" Chu Jin slapped his hand away.

"That’s nothing; I can even cycle without holding the handlebars with either hand." As he said this, Mo Zhixuan spread his arms in the wind, his posture very much like a teenager in his youth, fitting perfectly into every young girl’s image of a Prince Charming.

"Slow down, hold onto the handlebars! Be careful not to fall," Chu Jin pinched the soft flesh on his waist.

"Rest assured, I’m very skilled."

"Jin, hold me tight," Mo Zhixuan spread his arms wide and suddenly sped up, making the ordinary bicycle zip forward, with nothing but the whistling wind left in the ears.

Chu Jin let out a soft exclamation and wrapped her arms tightly around his lean waist, laying her cheek against his back, a slight smile playing at the corners of her mouth.

The one she loved was by her side, her belly carrying the fruit of their love.

This was just fine.

Peaceful times, a serene life.

Soon, they arrived at the hospital.

By the time they reached the hospital, the Mo family’s old madam and Zhao Yan were both already there waiting.

When Chu Jin arrived, Zhao Yan and the Mo family’s old madam immediately greeted her, flanking her on both sides and assisting her carefully.

The level of anxiety was as if Chu Jin was a fragile porcelain doll.

Zhao Yan, supporting Chu Jin, chided her, "You child, such a big thing as pregnancy and you didn’t even tell me. You even went to the dangerous trial field yesterday. What if my precious grandchild had been hurt?"

Thinking back on the incident, Zhao Yan felt a wave of fear wash over her, grateful that the gods had watched over Chu Jin, who was safe and sound.

Before Chu Jin could even speak, the Mo family’s old madam immediately said, "Little Yan, it’s not Jin’s fault. It’s all Zhixuan’s doing, he shouldn’t have set up that trial field in the first place."

The Mo family’s old madam put all the blame on Mo Zhixuan, but it was also thanks to this trial that in the three realms, there would have been even more harmful rumors to hurt Chu Jin.

The Mo family’s old madam also knew that Chu Jin wouldn’t lose in the trial, which is why she didn’t stop Mo Zhixuan.

"This has nothing to do with Mo Zhixuan, it was my own decision to take part," Chu Jin explained with a smile. She was clear about her own body and knew that nothing unexpected would happen in the trial.

Chu Jin was like an empress in the imperial palace, assisted on both sides by the Mo family’s old madam and Zhao Yan, step by step heading to the obstetrics and gynecology department on the third floor.

"Moms, I really am fine, I can walk by myself, please let go of me," Chu Jin said helplessly, finding the sensation of being coddled quite unbearable.

Having the two elders take care of her like this truly made Chu Jin feel embarrassed. It was only a pregnancy, after all; this whole fuss seemed somewhat excessive.

But both elders seemed to be enjoying themselves, their faces unable to hide their smiles.

The Mo family’s old madam said with some dissatisfaction, "Going up and down the stairs, with people coming and going, is very unsafe for a pregnant woman! How can we let you go by yourself?"

"My in-law is right, Jin, at a time like this, just listen to us. Not heeding the elder’s advice leads to trouble right before your eyes," Zhao Yan also agreed with the Mo family’s old madam.

Mo Zhixuan, following behind, had been completely ignored.

"Then let’s take the elevator, it’s quicker," Chu Jin suggested next, as the obstetrics and gynecology department was on the third floor and she was worried the Mo family’s old madam and Zhao Yan would not be able to handle the walk.

The Mo family’s old madam countered, "The air in the elevator is stagnant and filled with all kinds of smells. Now that you’re pregnant, it’s safer for us to take the stairs."

"My in-law is right, let’s take the stairs instead, it will be good exercise," Zhao Yan fully agreed with the Mo family’s old madam.

Chu Jin raised an eyebrow helplessly and didn’t say much more. As long as the elders were happy, that’s all that mattered.

Thanks to the Mo family’s old madam’s early appointment with a specialist, they didn’t have to queue. Upon reaching the third floor, Chu Jin began her examinations.

After asking Chu Jin several embarrassing questions, the authoritative female obstetrician confirmed the duration of the pregnancy based on the ultrasound, and also gave Chu Jin an unexpected piece of news.

It wasn’t until she walked out of the doctor’s office that Chu Jin felt like she was floating on air.

She hadn’t expected such an unexpected surprise from this hospital visit; perhaps it was the excitement that made her unresponsive to Mo Zhixuan calling her, a bit dazed, feeling like she was walking on clouds.

Mo Zhixuan approached her, asking nervously, "Jin, what’s the matter? You look so distracted..."

Seeing her like this, Zhao Yan also panicked, "What’s wrong, Jin? Is there a problem with the baby?"

At these words, the Mo family’s old madam also grew anxious, but disregarding her own concerns, she immediately went over and asked with great nervousness, "What’s wrong, Jin? What did the doctor say? Is there something wrong with the child?"

Hearing this, Chu Jin realized they had misunderstood her, and quickly explained, "Mom, you’ve got it all wrong. The baby is fine, there’s no problem. I’m just too happy, that’s all."

"That’s good, that’s good," Zhao Yan patted her chest, her face still showing the aftereffects of a scare.

The Mo family’s old madam also breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that her grandchild was fine.

Chu Jin handed the report over to Mo Zhixuan, speaking in a light tone, "Mo Zhixuan, take a look at this."

Mo Zhixuan took the report, his expression shifting from calm to disbelief, his hands trembling slightly as he held it.

"Jin, are you really..." Mo Zhixuan’s gaze fell to Chu Jin’s stomach, the rest of his words stuck in his throat, unsure how to express himself.

"Could the report be false?" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly.

It was indeed fortunate that they had come to the hospital for a checkup, or else Chu Jin would never have diagnosed such a surprising result.

Seeing the couple’s reaction, the Mo family’s old madam and Zhao Yan became anxious and asked, "What’s going on here?"

Mo Zhixuan cleared his throat before finally saying, "Mom, Jin is pregnant."

"We know that..." Before the Mo family’s old madam could finish.

Mo Zhixuan interjected, "It’s fraternal twins, Mom, Jin is carrying fraternal twins." His voice couldn’t contain the overwhelming excitement, and he struggled to find the right words.

Upon hearing this, the Mo family’s old madam and Zhao Yan were shocked beyond belief.

Carrying fraternal twins was indeed doubly joyous news.

"Good, really good," the Mo family matriarch said excitedly, tears streaming down her face.

"Is it really twins? Come on, Jin, let me have a look," Zhao Yan said as she inspected Chu Jin from head to toe, worry evident in her tone. "Jin, what happened to you? How come you’ve lost weight since getting pregnant? Can the babies keep up with their nutrition if you continue this way?"

Because of morning sickness, Chu Jin couldn’t handle greasy food, and indeed, she had lost quite a bit of weight over this period. She was naturally on the slender side, and at this moment, it seemed a gust of wind could blow her away.

Of course, this was a mother viewing her daughter.

Chu Jin herself felt that she was just fine.

The matriarch immediately said, "It’s alright, it’s alright. We’ll just need to nourish you well when we get back. Besides, Jin has had strong reactions in the early stages of pregnancy, throwing up anything she eats... Pregnancy is truly the hardest on the mother."

Zhao Yan sighed, held Chu Jin’s wrist, and said with heartfelt concern, "Look how thin you’ve gotten... We definitely need to nourish you well when we get back. Otherwise, with the twins needing to absorb nutrients, how will your body handle it?"

Chu Jin smiled and said, "Mom, I think I’m fine as I am, and the doctor said all my indicators are normal. I’m not malnourished, so please don’t worry."

"But you still need the nourishment you’re due," the matriarch chimed in, reassuring Zhao Yan, "Little Yan, don’t worry. I will take very good care of Jin."

"Alright," Zhao Yan nodded in agreement.

Mo Zhixuan took back the report, looked at Zhao Yan and the matriarch, and continued, "Mom, the air isn’t great in the hospital. You and Jin go ahead and wait for me outside; I’ll go get the medicine."

Because it was a twin pregnancy, the doctor prescribed some medications beneficial for sustaining the pregnancy.

"Alright, go quickly," the matriarch came back to her senses and, supporting Chu Jin, started walking out, instructing as she went, "Slowly, slowly, no need to rush."

Zhao Yan added, "Right, right, we’re not in a hurry, walk slowly, watch your step. Jin, you are now three persons in one. You have to be careful in everything you do from now on."

Chu Jin was escorted by Zhao Yan on one side and the matriarch on the other as they walked outside of the hospital.

Since she had never cared for a pregnant woman, Zhao Yan said nervously, "Jin, are you hungry? Mom will go buy you something to eat." Given that Chu Jin had to eat not only for herself but also to provide nutrition for two babies in her belly, she must be hungry by now.

Chu Jin patted Zhao Yan’s hand with a slight smile, "I’m not hungry; I just had breakfast."

"Then are you thirsty? I’ll go buy you some water," the matriarch insisted.

Knowing that the two older women were just showing their concern, Chu Jin said with a smile, "Moms, I’m neither thirsty nor hungry; you don’t need to be so anxious."

However, the matriarch said, "Pregnant women tend to have yin deficiency and excessive internal heat, often feeling dry mouth and parched throat. Even if you aren’t thirsty now, you’ll be later. Besides, you aren’t an ordinary pregnant woman. I’ll go buy some water to have on hand."

With that, the matriarch headed for a nearby supermarket.

Chu Jin couldn’t stop her.

"Jin, come over here and sit for a while," Zhao Yan led Chu Jin to a blue plastic chair outside.

Since there was only one empty seat, Chu Jin said, "Mom, you sit, I’m not tired." She really wasn’t tired; it was still the early stages of pregnancy, and other than occasionally feeling a bit nauseous, she almost had no other reactions.

Most of the time, it was business as usual for her.

And since she deliberately concealed her aura, nobody recognized her.

"I’m not tired either; please sit down. Child, why don’t you listen?" Zhao Yan pressed Chu Jin down onto the chair.

Chu Jin had no choice but to sit there.

Her gaze fell upon the street ahead, and Chu Jin squinted slightly.

Across the road, a plainly dressed couple was heading into a clinic in the alleyway.

The woman was wearing baggy maternity clothes, apparently around four or five months pregnant.

The most eye-catching detail was the iron chain around the woman’s neck.

Yet amidst the bustling crowd, nobody seemed to feel discomfort.

In the Superpower World, it was permitted to have servants and slaves.

Because they were not people Chu Jin was fond of, she quickly averted her gaze.

Once the matriarch returned with water and Mo Zhixuan came out of the hospital with the medicine,

"Zhixuan, you bike with Jin, and go slowly. Don’t run red lights, remember to honk when turning, don’t be hasty, and let others go first at all times..." The matriarch was full of reminders for Chu Jin before the bike ride, concerned that Mo Zhixuan might make a mistake. However, she forgot that the bicycle had no horn.

The children in Chu Jin’s belly were the Mo family’s entire hope, and as her own grandchildren, how could the matriarch not be anxious?

Mo Zhixuan helped the two older women into the car, "I understand, revered mothers. I assure you, not a hair on Jin’s head will come to harm. Please go back now." With that, he closed the car door.

On their way back to the imperial palace, Mo Zhixuan took Chu Jin to browse a mother and baby store.

"Jin, look at how cute these little shoes are." Mo Zhixuan said tenderly, handing a pair of pink booties to Chu Jin. His expression was so gentle it was almost uncharacteristic.

Chu Jin had never expected the always reserved Mr. Mo to show such affection.

However, children’s clothes and shoes were indeed very cute and very delicate.

"They really are cute." Chu Jin’s eyes also curved into a crescent moon shape as she looked at these tiny things. Even the coldest heart could be warmed by them.

Seeing these also gave one an eager anticipation to meet the little one in the belly.

"Sir, madam, the shoes you are holding are for an 8-10-month-old baby. May I inquire how old your baby is? I can recommend the right pair for you," the sales associate approached and asked politely.

"It’s still in my belly," Chu Jin said with a slight dip of her gaze and a soft smile.

"Then I would suggest this pair, which is for a newborn up to 2 months old." The sales associate picked up a pair of shoes that were more than half the size of the previous pair and showed them.

Mo Zhixuan took the shoes, looking at the tiny footwear that wasn’t even half the size of his palm, and frowned slightly, "Can they really fit into something so small?" Because Mo Zhixuan was deliberately hiding his appearance, no one recognized him and Chu Jin at the moment.

"Yes, they can," the sales associate said with a smile, "Newborns don’t have such big feet."

"Really?" Mo Zhixuan was somewhat skeptical. He thought the previous pair of shoes was already small enough, but this pair was even smaller. Mo Zhixuan didn’t have much concept of babies.

The biggest baby he had ever seen was the three-year-old Mo Qingyi.

Back then, the elder Mrs. Mo was worried that Mo Zhixuan might not accept Qingyi, so she only introduced the siblings to each other after Qingyi was old enough to call out "brother" at the age of three.

In his mind, a baby was about the size of a three-year-old child.

The three-year-old Qingyi was extremely adorable and articulate.

The baby he and Jin would have would definitely be just as cute.

"Let’s go with this pair then," Mo Zhixuan nodded.

The sales associate did not expect Mo Zhixuan to be so decisive, so she struck while the iron was hot, "Sir, shoes need to be washed and changed frequently. This pair is also very nice, soft in texture, made of pure cotton to protect the baby’s tender skin, and we offer a discount if you buy two pairs."

"Then buy this pair too," Mo Zhixuan nodded again, "Oh right, take two pairs of each."

Chu Jin hurriedly stopped Mo Zhixuan, "Didn’t we agree just to take a look? You’re really buying them! Anyway, it’ll be nine months before they can come out, there’s no rush."

Mo Zhixuan looked reasonable, "We have to buy them sooner or later, so we might as well buy them in advance and have them ready at home."

Chu Jin had no choice but to compromise.

The sales associate was thrilled; Mo Zhixuan was clearly a big spender, brightening her hopes for a monthly bonus. She then recommended many more necessities for a newborn baby.

And Mo Zhixuan, not one to refuse, went along with the suggestions. Chu Jin, a new mother with little experience, could only watch helplessly as Mo Zhixuan bought heaps of stuff.

Wondering whether they would even be needed when the time came.

Everything Mo Zhixuan bought came in pairs and was in one color—

Pink.

That was so typical of a straight man.

"Why is everything pink?" Chu Jin asked, eyeing the pile of little clothes and shoes in the shopping cart with a slight raise of her eyebrows.

"Our daughter will definitely be adorable; of course, we should use pink," Mo Zhixuan said earnestly.

Chu Jin spoke somewhat incredulously, "How do you know for sure it will be a girl? What if it’s a boy?" Mo Zhixuan’s thinking was rather peculiar. Why must a girl have everything in pink?

Is pink synonymous with adorable?

However, Mo Zhixuan dismissed the idea with a disdainful look, "A son would be a little rascal, but a daughter is like a cotton-padded jacket. Trust me, it will definitely be a daughter." Mo Zhixuan was mysteriously confident that Chu Jin was carrying a girl.

He had studied it, after all. Position determines the gender.

His technique matched exactly what the books described, so there shouldn’t be any mistake, right?

Chu Jin laughed and followed up, "But what if it’s fraternal twins? Are you going to make a boy wear pink too?" After all, there were two little ones inside, it could indeed be twins.

"There are not that many ’what ifs,’" Mo Zhixuan said, putting his arm around Chu Jin, "I say it’s a girl, so it must be two girls. I’ve even picked out their nicknames." Even if one of them turned out to be a son, what’s wrong with wearing pink?

Don’t you know ladies first?

Gentlemanly behavior should start from a young age, otherwise, he might not be able to find a wife when he grows up!

Mo Zhixuan had a natural preference for daughters; having two daughters as beautiful as Jin would make his life complete. However, having a boy would also be great. If the boy looked like him, he would charm countless girls in the future.

"What nicknames have you chosen?" Chu Jin asked curiously.
