Can't Take My Eyes Off You - Chapter 1098

Chapter 1098: Twins

When Jiang Yao saw that Major He’s wife trusted her, she checked the woman’s pulse. From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, it was possible to tell the gender of a child by checking their pulse.

However, Jiang Yao had a pair of eyes that others could not imagine, so it was more accurate than checking their pulse; she only pretended to do that.

After a while, Jiang Yao retracted her hand and smiled. “It’s a daughter.”

After she said that, she carefully observed the expressions of Major He’s wife and mother-in-law. When she saw that the two of them did not show any disappointment, she felt relieved.

“Then it seems that we can prepare bedding, clothes, and shoes for a little girl.”

Major He’s mother-in-law smiled.

“Well, you can prepare them earlier because there’s a pair of little sisters in there.” Jiang Yao said, “It’s a pair of very lively little sisters.”

“Little sisters?”

Major He’s wife was shocked. “Are you saying that I’m pregnant with twins?”

Major He’s wife had not gone to the hospital for a pregnancy test ever since she got pregnant. She had planned to go to the city for a pregnancy test two months before she was due. That way, she would not have to go back and forth; she could save some money. Therefore, she did not know that she was pregnant with twins. She was pleasantly surprised and delighted when Jiang Yao broke that news to her.

“Twins! Little sisters! This is a blessing in disguise!”

Major He’s mother-in-law rubbed her daughter’s belly. “Grandma will buy some cloth tomorrow to make you two little skirts!”

Then, the three women started to chat passionately about the little sisters’ names. When Lu Xingzhi and Major He came out of the study room, the topic of conversation between the three of them once again changed to what kind of dress the little sisters would wear when they grew up.

Major He listened for a long while before he finally understood that Jiang Yao had checked and revealed the baby’s gender to his wife—twin girls!

Major He was stunned for a long time. If it were not for the fact that they were at the Lu family’s home, Jiang Yao suspected Major He would rush forward and hug his wife excitedly.

When Major brought his wife and mother-in-law home, he thanked Jiang Yao repeatedly. Then, he helped his wife even more carefully. He said that he would be back tomorrow to ask Jiang Yao for some advice on caring for pregnant women.

Ever since Lu Xingzhi heard the news, his eyes drifted several times to Major He’s wife’s stomach. After they left, he glanced at Jiang Yao’s stomach again, and the expression on his face was that of unspeakable envy.

“Major He is going to have a daughter soon and a pair of daughters at that.” Lu Xingzhi’s lips curled into a cold smile. “What kind of luck is that?”

“Go ahead and be sour.”

Jiang Yao glanced at Lu Xingzhi. How could she not know what Lu Xingzhi felt then?

He was crazy with jealousy.

Major He would have a daughter soon—two daughters at once! If she were pregnant with twin daughters now, Lu Xingzhi would probably be ecstatic.

“What did you and Major He talk about in the study just now?” Jiang Yao asked casually as she walked toward the bedroom.

Lu Xingzhi followed closely behind her. “We talked about some future work matters. Major He is a smart person, so it’s not a hassle to speak to him.”

Then, Lu Xingzhi reached out and grabbed Jiang Yao’s hand. Suddenly, he said, “My dear wife, are we going to have twin sisters too?”

Initially, Lu Xingzhi thought that one daughter would be enough, but when he heard that Major He was about to welcome a pair of twin girls, he felt that one daughter was not enough.

He would want at least two girls. It would be better if the sisters had company.
