Chapter 119 Twins in One Pregnancy?
"Great-Grandma, don't worry, I'm perfectly fine." Tan Yifei suddenly said with a smile, "I've been busy with a project with my classmates lately, and I've been traveling around a lot, so I've lost some weight, but it's okay, I'll gain it back quickly. In fact, I think it's better to be a little thinner. You don't know how athletic your grandson is on the basketball court; he's the focus of attention for countless girls at school!"
"Haha, you little rascal, have you set your sights on anyone yet? Even though you're about to take the college entrance exam, as long as you manage your time well and it doesn't affect your studies, having a girlfriend is fine. Look at your uncle, he's been with Zheng Yuanxi since he was a teenager..." At this point, the old lady suddenly sighed, "He didn't let dating ruin his studies, and he even achieved all sorts of good grades, it's just a pity now..."
“Great-Grandma, are you still worried about your uncle’s child? There’s really no need to worry. Medicine is so advanced now, anyone who wants to have a child can do it,” Tan Yifei reassured her.
“But Zheng Yuanxi’s situation is different. If she were from an ordinary family, it would be fine. You know what her mother said to me that day. Although she didn’t say it outright, I understood her meaning very well. She wouldn’t let their precious daughter be used as a baby-making tool. Heh, is a woman still a woman if she doesn’t have children? Her daughter is a treasure, but I, Ayi, am still the head of our He family. How can we pass on such a huge family business if we don’t have children? If they really cared about Ayi, they wouldn’t be so arrogant!”
Tan Yifei fell silent immediately; he didn't know how to comment on the affairs of adults.
The old lady quickly came out and asked, "I heard last time that you had a girl you liked?"
Tan Yifei was taken aback, then shook his head and said, "No, she doesn't like me."
"Don't like you? There are girls in this world who don't like my grandson. It seems she doesn't know what's good for her! Never mind then. You need to find someone who likes you, you know? Someone who truly likes you and will always think of you in the future. You're still young, no rush. Your partner is waiting for you to meet."
Tan Yifei smiled sheepishly. Just then, the nanny came over and told the old lady that the soup was ready and asked if she wanted anything else added.
The nannies were in charge of the other meals, but whenever He Yi or Yi Fei came over for a meal, the old lady would personally cook soup for them.
The old lady went to the kitchen first, leaving Yifei to sit by himself for a while.
Yifei took out his phone, opened Douyin (TikTok), and accessed Lin Yu's account.
He knew about the incident where Lin Yu's account was banned last time, as well as some rumors circulating online. He was very anxious at the time and immediately sent her a message to ask what had happened.
But her account was banned, and he didn't know if the message had been sent to her. He thought about finding a way to help her, but then he heard that Lin Yu had offended the Zheng family by saying something online, which is why the Zheng family was targeting her.
The last time his uncle and Zheng Yuanxi's infertility was exposed, it caused quite a stir. As a member of the He family, he naturally couldn't step forward to help Lin Yu. Moreover, he was afraid that if his mother found out, she would focus on Lin Yu and then trace the clues back to "her". He was certain that his mother would never agree to him liking "her". In his mother's mind, he had to marry someone of equal social standing, definitely not a girl from an ordinary background like her, especially since she loved another man.
Therefore, he could only keep up with Lin Yu's news every day, and repeatedly play that wedding video to ease his longing.
He had someone remove the video that was circulating online, but he kept a copy for himself. He would watch it every day and became more and more fascinated by it.
"Yifei, when did you arrive?" A deep, familiar voice called out, pulling Tan Yifei out of his daze.
He looked up and saw He Yi's tall and upright figure, and couldn't help but smile slightly, "Uncle."
He Yi glanced at his phone screen. "What are you looking at so intently?"
"Oh, it's nothing, just watching some videos," Tan Yifei said.
He Yi didn't press further. In fact, if he had carefully looked at Tan Yifei's phone screen and seen the wedding video, he wouldn't have had such a formidable rival in his life, and he wouldn't have experienced the absurd situation of his own nephew and him falling in love with the same woman at the same time. He even ended up pushing his nephew into an abyss of no return, causing all three of them immense suffering.
But perhaps some things are predetermined, and no one can escape them.
Dinner was quiet and warm, and they talked about everyday things. After dinner, He Yi accompanied the old lady back to her dormitory. The old lady asked, "How is Yuanyuan? Is she feeling better?"
He Yi's eyes flickered. "Yes, it's nothing serious, Grandma. We've found a more experienced and skilled doctor, and we're going to try again tomorrow."
"Try again tomorrow? But what about her mother..."
"Aunt Lü is just too concerned about Yuanyuan. Yuanyuan has already explained it to her and she understands. Please don't take it to heart. Besides, I'm confident that I will succeed this time!"
"You're confident? Really? I was very angry about Yuanyuan's mother's matter at the time, but I was also a mother once, and I understand her feelings. Naturally, I won't hold it against her. It would be best if Yuanyuan could mediate this conflict. Ayi, it's not that Grandma is stubborn. Grandma is thinking about you and our He family. Grandma doesn't want to be ashamed to face your grandfather in the future. Grandma has lived for so many years. She can go to your grandfather. It's precisely because I can't let go of you that I've been holding on with my last breath."
"Grandma, don't overthink it. I acted impulsively last time. Don't worry, I will have the baby, and like you said last time, I'll have twins at once."
"Really? You're kidding me."
“If one child isn’t enough, then two will do. At least I’ll give you a boy and a girl. You’ll have to take good care of yourself and help me raise them. You’ve raised me and my sister so well, so I want to entrust my children to you to raise as well,” He Yi continued with a smile.
"Okay, Grandma will definitely help you take care of her. Good luck! And Yuanyuan too. Although Grandma is disappointed and not satisfied with her, she has suffered a lot. Just be nice to her and treat her well. That will make up for everything." Just like the old lady said, even though she still had some dissatisfaction with Zheng Yuanxi, her grandson liked her. As long as Zheng Yuanxi could give the He family a son, she wouldn't care.
Next, with He Yi's coaxing, the old lady fell asleep and slept soundly, which was probably the best sleep she had had recently.
As He Yi came out of the room, the nanny couldn't help but say to him, "She's been looking gloomy lately and often talks about the old man. I know she's not feeling well. Luckily you came today. I think the old lady can live for at least another ten years."
"Thank you for taking care of Grandma," He Yi said gratefully to the nanny.
"It's nothing, it's all what I should do. As long as the old lady is healthy and happy, that's all that matters."
"Ah."
He Yi came out and saw Yi Fei still sitting on the sofa, seemingly lost in thought, so he went over to him.
