Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Pregnant with Twins
Girls’ dormitory.
Chen Jin grumbled all the way back to the dormitory.
“Mimi, you shouldn’t have stopped me just now.”
“If you hadn’t stopped me, I would have gone up and slapped him already!”
“It drives me crazy!”
“…”
An Mi took her cup and poured her a glass of warm water.
“Here, have some water and take a break.”
Chen Jin looked at her, took the cup and gulped down a big mouthful.
Actually, she did feel a bit thirsty.
After all, she had said so much at once.
After finishing her drink, Chen Jin started again: “Mimi, you really shouldn’t have stopped me just now; I still had so much more to say.”
An Mi looked at her and smiled, “Jinjin, I know you did it for me. But this is school after all. If things blew up, and it reached the ears of the school leaders, it wouldn’t be good for any of us.”
“If it had been off-campus, I wouldn’t have stopped you, in fact, you wouldn’t even need to do anything, I could have slapped him myself.”
An Mi was a bit angry at the time too, but she controlled her emotions.
“It’s like being bitten by a dog and then biting it back. If that’s the case, wouldn’t we be going down to his level?” said An Mi.
Upon hearing this, Chen Jin said, “You make a good point.”
But the next second, she added, “But I just can’t stand it, his self-righteous look, as if by confessing his feelings and getting rejected, the whole world owes him!”
An Mi patted her back, saying, “There, there, don’t be upset, it’s not worth getting angry over a dog.”
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, not expecting their Mimi to curse too.
Then, bursts of giggles followed.
…
That evening, the incident still made it to the hot searches on the school’s official website.
The headline read: Female Medical Whiz, Rejects Confession from Male Medical Whiz!
There were even videos of the scene.
Ye Xuan was fairly handsome and quite a prominent figure in the medical department, possessing many female fans.
Therefore, almost all the comments attacking An Mi were from girls.
Calling An Mi pretentious, unappreciative, and affected.
When Chen Jin, Zhuzhu, and Huihui saw these comments, they were so angry they could hardly eat.
Yet, the person involved just glanced at it indifferently, without any emotional fluctuations.
“Mimi, aren’t you angry at all?” Zhuzhu asked.
An Mi said, “Of course, I’m angry, but being angry doesn’t help. Mouths, brains, and limbs are all on others, we don’t have magic, we can’t control them.”
“…”
Huihui: “It makes sense, but they’re going too far!”
Jinjin: “Exactly, what they said was so harsh, these people are too self-righteous!”
An Mi knew they cared for her and were worried about her, “Don’t worry, I’m not the type to sit idly by.”
Zhuzhu asked, “Do you have a way to deal with them?”
An Mi smiled and said, “Don’t forget, the internet is not outside the law.”
Upon hearing this, the three looked at each other.
They almost forgot that their Mimi had a boyfriend who is the King of Law.
“And, the accounts commenting on the school’s website are almost all real-name registrations, IP addresses can also be tracked any time,” An Mi said. “Insults should be well-thought-out, but since they didn’t consider it cautiously, I can’t be blamed.”
There are many ways to seek justice for oneself.
Thus, she must think of a way that not only solves the problem but also lets others know not to mess with her to warn others to stop troubling her.
The next morning.
The school’s official website exploded again.
This time, it was because An Mi used the school’s account to post a legal warning letter.
Moreover, she called out everyone who had insulted her yesterday, listing a dense array of names.
Not only that, each of these people received a lawyer’s letter in their hands.
Soon after, comments and posts about An Mi on the forum were all deleted clean.
After all, everyone is a university student on campus; who isn’t afraid of getting involved in lawsuits?
The reputational damage and school’s reprimand alone are not worth it.
…
Outside the school’s south gate.
After coming out, An Mi saw the familiar car and immediately ran over, swiftly opening the passenger’s side door and getting in the car.
“Why do you look like a thief?”
Just as she settled in, a man’s deep and magnetic voice came from beside her.
An Mi turned her head to look at him, “Not at all, I did this so I could see you sooner.”
The man smiled and remained silent.
To prove her words, An Mi leaned in and kissed his cool, thin lips.
“See, I really did want to meet you.”
Wan Muqi curved his lips, lifted his hand to clasp the back of her neck, and pulled her towards himself, their lips pressing together once more.
He pried open her pearl teeth and plunged deep inside.
His kiss was nothing like hers, which was just a brief touch.
His kiss was filled with intense desire, tender yet undeniably domineering.
An Mi’s hands curled slightly, subconsciously tugging at the hem of his clothes.
Not until he had almost completely sucked the air from her lungs did he reluctantly let her go.
An Mi gasped for breath, leaning into his chest.
Her cheeks and even the tips of her ears were burning hot.
Lying in his arms, she could even hear his strong heartbeat, seemingly faster than normal.
The man’s fingers at the back of her neck gently caressed her skin. Lifting his eyes slightly, he asked, “An Mi, if I weren’t here, would you accept him?”
His sudden question caught An Mi off guard.
“Ah?”
She rose from his embrace, looking at him.
A few seconds later, she realized what he was asking.
“You know?” she asked.
The man uttered a sound of affirmation.
An Mi thought he was unaware, and the lawyer’s letters this morning, she had arranged them herself with money, without asking for his help.
Because she felt these minor matters were not worth bothering him to personally handle; she could manage by herself.
An Mi answered, “No.”
Her bright eyes were filled with sincerity.
“Why?”
“Because he really doesn’t meet my aesthetic, nor is he my type.”
“Then what type do you like?”
He even seemed a bit nervous when he asked.
An Mi deliberately stayed silent for a while, wanting to see his reaction.
Seeing her not speaking, the man’s expression gradually became somber, and his brows furrowed.
Her silence, not immediately saying it was him, does that mean he isn’t her type?
Just the thought made him extremely uncomfortable!
But despite feeling uneasy, he restrained himself and asked, “Then can you tell me what type you do like?”
That way, he could better himself in that aspect.
He didn’t say that last part out loud.
An Mi pursed her lips, wanting to laugh, but she restrained herself.
Instead of answering, she countered, “What type do you think I like?”
The man frowned: “If I knew, would I need to ask you?”
At this, An Mi burst out laughing.
Wan Muqi: “…”
“So, you just lack confidence in yourself?” An Mi asked.
“…”
“The type I like is far in the horizon but close in sight.”
The man was briefly stunned, then finally realized this girl was teasing him!
An Mi said with a laugh, “You’re not even jealous of Ye Xuan, are you?”
The man pressed his thin lips together, remaining silent.
“Really, you don’t need to be jealous,” An Mi said earnestly, “Because besides you, I have room for no one else in my eyes.”
Wan Muqi squinted slightly: “Is it just your eyes that have no room?”
An Mi blinked her eyes, took a few seconds to understand his meaning.
She cradled his face with both hands, her eyes curved with a smile: “And in my heart, there’s only room for you too.”
“Are you satisfied with that answer, Mr. Wan?”
The man nodded, “Very satisfied, so later, I’ve decided to take you out for barbecue.”
Upon hearing about meat, An Mi’s eyes lit up.
But the next second, she said, “Then let’s drop by and pick up Xiao Jie on the way, and eat together.”
Whenever she had time now, she would take Xiao Jie out for a stroll.
Wan Muqi’s eyebrows slightly knitted: “But I only wanted it to be just the two of us.”
An Mi said, “We can have our time as a couple anytime, but Xiao Jie needs company now.”
Wan Muqi did not know that she had already found out about that matter.
It was just that everyone was keeping it from her because they didn’t want her to overthink it.
Since that was the case, she would not expose it.
…
Yang Jie had been discharged from the hospital and returned home to recuperate.
And A University was actually not far from the neighborhood where Yang Jie lived—it was only a half-hour drive away.
“Mimi, you really don’t have to come over every day to keep me company,” Yang Jie said. “You rush over here whenever you have a moment free; aren’t you just ignoring Mr. Wan completely then?”
The last sentence was spoken very softly, as her parents were there watching.
An Mi: “It’s not a problem; he’s not as important as you.”
Yang Jie: “…”
Then, An Mi turned to Father Yang and Mother Yang and said, “Uncle, Aunt, I will take Xiao Jie with me for now, I’ll bring her back later in the evening.”
Yang Mu asked, “Okay, then you guys go out for a stroll; your uncle and I will go out later to buy groceries and cook dinner, and you can eat when you return.”
An Mi said, “Uncle, Aunt, you don’t need to make dinner for Xiao Jie and me; we’ll eat out.”
Hearing this, Yang Mu didn’t say anything more, “Alright, then take care.”
“Uncle, Aunt, don’t worry; I will take good care of Xiao Jie.”
“Mom, Dad, I’m heading out with Mimi now.”
“Alright, go ahead.”
…
When Yang Jie saw Wan Muqi there too, she was taken aback.
An Mi smiled and explained, “He’s our driver today.”
Wan Muqi nodded at her, endorsing what An Mi had said.
Yang Jie: “…”
To have the King of Law as their driver, isn’t that a bit of an underuse of talent?
*
Half a month later.
It was the Mid-Autumn Festival that day.
Su He and Jiang Yan had brought Su Baobao to the Jiang Family Mansion the night before.
Jiang You and Jiang Nanche also arrived as soon as possible.
“Grandma, my parents asked me to tell you that they might not be able to make it back for Mid-Autumn Festival this year,” Jiang Nanche, sitting in a chair and eating melon seeds, told the Old Madam, who was sitting next to him talking to Su Baobao.
The Old Madam was already used to it, “Alright, I know.”
The Old Madam was already accustomed to such tactics from her second son and his wife.
Having several grandchildren and great-grandchildren around her, she was content.
Since her old man passed away, the Jiang family had fewer rules.
She herself did not like those cumbersome traditions; the children and grandchildren should have their own blessings.
During the holidays, those who could return did so; she no longer insisted on it for those who couldn’t, as long as everyone was safe and sound.
Suddenly, the Old Madam seemed to remember something.
She turned her head and looked at Jiang Nanche.
Jiang Nanche was startled by the Old Madam’s sudden caring gaze.
He even paused in his seed-eating, “Grandma, if you have something to say, just say it; don’t look at me like that, it’s really nerve-wracking.”
The Old Madam stared at him and asked, “How old are you this year?”
Jiang Nanche was dumbfounded, “Grandma, are you confused? You don’t even remember how old I am this year? Could it be that you’ve got Alzheimer’s?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately shouted toward the second floor, “Big brother, sister-in-law, it’s bad, Grandma’s lost her memory.”
“Ouch! Ouch, ouch…”
As soon as he finished shouting, something hit his forehead.
The Old Madam picked up the small wooden hammer she used for beating her legs, and directly knocked it on Jiang Nanche’s forehead.
“You rascal, who said someone lost their memory? I think you’re the one who lost your memory, not just your memory but your sensibility too.”
Jiang Yan and Su He came out of the study after hearing noises.
Then they heard the Old Madam’s hearty scolding.
The couple stood at the railing of the second-floor corridor, watching the scene downstairs.
Jiang Nanche tried to stand up from the chair, but the Old Madam was holding his hand, and he dared not shake her off forcefully, fearing he might hurt her.
He could only curl up in the chair and take the hits obediently.
Su Baobao sat by, eating fruits while watching her little granduncle being hit by great-grandma.
“Grandma, don’t hit anymore, that thing is quite painful when it hits people,” Jiang Nanche pleaded. “I didn’t mean to, you suddenly asked how old I was, and I thought you had forgotten.”
The Old Madam didn’t hit him for long, stopping after a few swings.
Jiang Nanche touched his forehead, wincing in pain.
“Grandma, why suddenly ask how old I am?” he asked after sitting up.
The Old Madam said, “Isn’t it because I see you’re all alone, and I thought of introducing you to a girl?”
Jiang Nanche: “… Grandma, please don’t make this scene for me, I…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the Old Madam interrupted: “Let me tell you, right now in the Jiang Family, you’re the only one without a girlfriend. How old are you? You should hurry up and start dating, and after dating for two or three years, it’s time to get married.”
Jiang Nanche retorted: “Grandma, Second Cousin from Uncle’s side doesn’t have one either. Why don’t you talk about him? He’s even older than me.”
The Old Madam sternly said: “What, do you also want to learn from Jiang Yue, that good-for-nothing playboy?”
Eldest Son’s family has never given her peace of mind, she was too tired to bother!
But Jiang Nanche was different, she had raised him since he was a child. If he dared to follow Jiang Yue’s example, she would definitely break his legs!
She had also asked the children of the eldest son’s family to be brought up by her, but their daughter-in-law refused, wanting to raise them herself, and she couldn’t say much about it.
If she had known the daughter-in-law would raise the children into what they are now, she would have never let her do it no matter what.
But regret was useless, you reap what you sow, it’s all brewed by their own family!
Jiang Nanche heard this and said, “Grandma, please don’t say that, I never said such things.”
Lend him a hundred guts, and he wouldn’t dare to fool around.
Afterward, the Old Madam spoke up: “Starting from tomorrow, you are going to start going on blind dates for me!”
“What?”
This sentence struck Jiang Nanche like a thunderbolt.
“No, Grandma, I don’t want to.”
The Old Madam glared at him sharply, “There is no room for negotiation on this matter!”
Then, the Old Madam looked up to the second floor at Jiang Yan and said: “Ah Yan, you arrange this.”
Jiang Yan suddenly ended up with the task of arranging blind dates.
But he couldn’t refuse the Old Madam, “Alright, Grandma.”
“Brother.” Jiang Nanche looked at Jiang Yan with a pitiful pout.
“Even calling him dad is useless!” the Old Madam chided from the side.
Afterwards, the Old Madam did not forget to instruct Jiang Yan: “Report the progress to me every day.”
“…”
After Jiang You finished a call with Gu Beiyan and came back, she learned about this arrangement.
After hearing it, in front of Jiang Nanche, she didn’t hesitate and burst out laughing while holding her belly.
“Hahahahaha…”
“I must say, Grandma’s decision is brilliant!”
Jiang Nanche glared at her with a look of grievance.
“Laugh, laugh, what the hell are you laughing at!”
Jiang You snorted, “Mind your own business, my mouth is my own, I’ll laugh if I want to. I’m actually quite curious, which girl will be unlucky enough to catch your eye?”
Jiang Nanche: “Jiang You, are you blind? How is it unlucky to be looked at by me? I’m 1.83 meters tall and handsome, how come I’m worthless in your mouth?”
“I think Beiyan is blind to have taken a fancy to you!”
No sooner had his words fallen than a deafening voice thundered.
“Jiang Nanche!”
“Let’s see if you have the guts to say that again!”
Now if not the time to run, then when!
Jiang Nanche “whooshed” up from his chair and ran.
“Jiang Nanche, you scoundrel, you stop right there!”
“…”
The two of them, one chasing the other!
This kind of scene is already familiar to the house servants.
The Old Madam is even more used to it!
Su Baobao watched as if viewing a scene of a cat chasing a mouse.
In the afternoon, Jiang Zhongzhen arrived at the mansion with his family.
“Old Madam, the master has brought the family here, and they are waiting outside the front gate now. Do you want me to let them in?” the Housekeeper looked at the Old Madam and asked for her instructions.
The Old Madam paused for a moment: “Let them in.”
Upon hearing this, the housekeeper turned and went out again.
Soon after, Jiang Zhongzhen and his family walked in.
This time, they were clearly more restrained, especially Cheng Wan.
Previously, hers was always the loudest voice.
“Mom, happy Mid-Autumn Festival.” Jiang Zhongzhen called out.
The other family members also successively offered their greetings.
The Old Madam simply “hmm”ed, neither warm nor cold, just very flat: “Find your own seats.”
As soon as Cheng Wan sat down, she began speaking with the Old Madam: “Mom, we’ve come here firstly to visit you, and secondly, to share some good news.”
The Old Madam glanced at her and remained silent, waiting for her to continue.
Cheng Wan, holding Chu Yanan’s hand and with a big smile, said: “Yanan is pregnant, already three months in, and it’s twins.”
