Chapter 875: How Would You Get Over It

Yan Huan remained hungry until the next day. It had almost reached the point where she felt dizzy and lightheaded due to hunger. She used to have four to five meals a day. But now, she was having fewer meals. Even the portion she had was far less than usual. In the past, she could take at least four bowls of rice, but now she was allowed to have only half a bowl. Could she feel full by eating that portion? Definitely not, it was impossible. More often than not, she would feel hungry within an hour after her meal, but she would have nothing to eat and could only drink water.

Luckily, Yan Huan was a highly disciplined person. She could be cruel to others, and also to herself. She clearly understood that what she was doing right now was important to save her babies. Only if the babies could lose a little weight, they could stay a little longer in her belly. Otherwise, they would have to come out early and meet the world. At that time, all aspects of their bodies would not be adequate enough to adapt to life outside.

It was indeed unbearable in the beginning, but she endured it. Her belly did not seem to have many changes, indicating that the result was considerably good. The only thing was that Lu Yi had slimmed down a lot.

When she went for the checkup a month later, He Yibin finally breathed a sigh of relief upon looking at the figures.

“Great, the babies still have a few months to grow. Keep up the good work, let’s try and control it up to the full-term. The babies will be sufficiently healthy only when they have reached full-term. No matter how, once the babies are born premature, they won’t be as healthy as full-term babies.”

Yan Huan had been pregnant for almost six months. Except for the fact that her belly was bigger than other pregnant ladies, she still looked the same and her face was clean without any cyasma. Not just that, her skin was surprisingly good. It seemed to be even fairer, although paler as well. After all, she was not allowed to eat whatever she wanted. If she could eat like how she did at the beginning of her pregnancy, she would have gained so much weight for herself and her babies. In that case, her babies might not be able to wait until the full-term.

It would take at least eight months, and not to mention that these two were twins, which made things even harder.

However, at the end of the month, although Yan Huan was still feeling the hunger, at least she would no longer wake up in the middle of the night to find food the way she used to. When she could not find any food at night, she would just drink some water. Surprisingly, not eating at night made her sleep better, and because she was able to sleep well, she was not as hungry as before.

“Does this look good?” Yan Huan asked Lu Yi while holding a piece of tiny baby clothes.

Lu Yi took it over and compared it against his hand. It was much smaller than his hand. How could it be this small? Could it really be worn? However, he thought of the time when Little Lei was still young, it seemed like he was just slightly bigger than this when he was born. Moreover, Yan Huan had two babies, and she was forced to control her diet all the time. He Yibin had told them that even when the two babies had reached full-term, their weight would not exceed four pounds. How heavy were four pounds? When Little Lei was born, he was over eight pounds. But both of his babies combined would only be the size of one Little Lei. Would they not be like little chicks?

“Let’s take pink, perhaps one of them is a girl?” It did not matter what color a boy should wear but for girls, it must be pink.

“No daughter.” Yan Huan took out two blue clothes. “I think both are boys.” In fact, she was almost certain that both were boys. She heard the doctor once called her babies two little guys. When she asked about it, the doctor just smiled and did not deny it. Hence, buying blue was better as pink might not be of use.

“Alright, boys then.” Of course, Lu Yi was not concerned about the gender of the babies. He never thought of having his own child. Now, not only would he have his own child, but he would have two.

Therefore, come what may, he would be happy.

Again, Yan Huan took up a bunch of things, two baby bottles, two sets of little toddler hats and clothes. Most of them were suitable for boys, while there were some other colors suitable for both genders.

When they came out of the shop, Yan Huan stopped abruptly.

“What happened?” Lu Yi lowered his head and asked, “Is there something else that you want to buy?”

“No.” Yan Huan stretched out her leg and looked at her shoe, “My shoelace is untied.”

Lu Yi put down the bags in his hand, bent his knees and squatted in front of Yan Huan, helping her with her shoelace. All of a sudden, Yan Huan turned her head around and immediately, she saw someone leave in a hurry while holding a camera.

Lu Yi got up again and held her hand tight, “Let’s go.”

“Alright,” Yan Huan blinked her eyes. She was just going to say that someone had secretly taken a photo of them, but she dropped the matter after thinking about it again. Before this, the whole nation teased her for being a hen who could not lay eggs. So now, she would lay some eggs and slap certain people in their faces, especially those who only knew how to hold on to the phrase ‘a hen that could not lay eggs’ and barked at her.

She guessed right. At night, the pictures were posted online.

“Best Actress Yan with a big belly, husband displaying heartwarming action.”

“Yan Huan was spotted heading into a baby store and bought two sets of baby products, suspected pregnant with twins.’

The following posts went viral as well. The news had indeed hit a lot of people. Previously, everyone was talking about how Yan Huan was being a hen who failed to lay eggs, now all of them ended up being slapped in the face.

Without any doubt, the one who got slapped the hardest was Ye Jianguo from the Ye family.

“Dad, how are you planning to get over it?” Ye Chuji lost count of the people who had laughed at him. In the past, Ye Jianguo told one that Yan Huan was a barren woman, and made fun of her being a hen who could not lay eggs in front of others.

Now, her egg was going to be laid soon, not to mention that it was a double-yolked egg. He was ashamed to step out of the house to face the sympathy from others.

What was there to sympathize with? He had not tattled, neither public nor private.

Ye Jianguo had been showing a long face, particularly to the Lu family whom he had fallen out with. Ye Shuyun and Lu Jin had not visited them for a long time, even the Old Master Lu scolded him every single time they met, saying that he was holding an evil intention to end the family line of Lu family.

Ending their family line, what a terrible thing to do! He, Ye Jianguo himself would never be able to bear the ill name.

However, he had indeed done that, he had indeed caused harm to them. At present, there was nothing he could do to remove the stigma from his name.

“How about Yuhan? Have you given her the character she requested?”
