It turns out that Wen Yu is robust and healthy, full of vitality, and Ji Anning is definitely prone to pregnancy. When Ji Anning experienced nausea and vomiting, after a quick calculation, they realized they hit the mark in the first month after abandoning contraception.
After confirmation at the hospital, the entire family celebrated joyfully with a small family feast.
Wen Guoan even had a bit of alcohol and happily informed Junjun, “You’re going to have a little brother or sister.”
Junjun didn’t understand the meaning of this statement. Today, she was allowed to have an extra piece of cake, making her ecstatic. Before going to bed, she brushed her teeth by herself, Ji Anning helped with a second round, and she ran to have Grandpa inspect: “All clean!”
She took brushing her teeth seriously, hoping to have an extra piece of cake tomorrow!
When Ji Anning was pregnant with Junjun, she only experienced mild nausea and almost never vomited. This time, however, she suffered. Anything she ate would be immediately thrown up, and she couldn’t tolerate any oily or smoky smells.
Due to the severe vomiting, she temporarily stopped going to the company and rested at home. She didn’t dare to move around recklessly, staying obediently in the bedroom. Every now and then, she had to rush into the bathroom to vomit like crazy.
“Why is it like this?” Wen Yu muttered to himself while patting Ji Anning’s back in the bathroom after coming home in the evening. “Why is it like this?”

This is what you get for causing trouble for my wife!
Before leaving, Junjun wanted to say goodbye to her mom, but both Grandpa and Dad told her that Mom was still sleeping and asked her not to disturb Mom.
For several days in a row, Junjun hadn’t been able to kiss and bid farewell to her mom in the morning, and she couldn’t help but feel a bit down.
Wen Guoan accompanied her to the kindergarten, and on the way, she asked, “When will Mom get better?”
“Ah, that will take several more months,” Wen Guoan said. “In some time, Mom’s belly will gradually get bigger, and inside, there will be a little baby. Junjun, do you want a little brother or a little sister?”
Junjun thought for a moment and said, “I want a little sister!”
Wen Guoan asked, “Why not a little brother? Is having a little brother not good?”
Junjun shook her head and said, “Little brothers are boys, and boys are mischievous. I want a little sister!”
Wen Guoan tried to persuade her, “When a little brother grows up, he can protect Junjun, you know?”
But it was no use; Junjun insisted on wanting a little sister and didn’t want a mischievous little brother.
Deep down, Wen Guoan still secretly hoped that Ji Anning would give birth to a boy. It wasn’t about favoring one gender over the other, but in the cultural context of the country, no matter what kind of man, deep down, there was always an expectation for a son, and having a son often led to the hope for a grandson.
For someone like Wen Guoan, with a large family and business, these traditional thoughts lingered, always worrying that a daughter might not be able to carry on the family legacy.
Morning sickness was a mysterious thing; it could make days feel dark and gloomy, but then suddenly, one morning, it disappeared.
Ji Anning finally endured the most uncomfortable stage, and her appetite returned to normal.
Just like the previous time, the Wen family hired a nutritionist to create a meal plan for Ji Anning, and the chef prepared nutritious meals following the recipes. Ji Anning’s pointed chin once again gained a soft and graceful contour.
The first ultrasound brought a big surprise to the Wen family—Ji Anning was pregnant with twins.
“No wonder, no wonder the reactions were so intense this time!” Wen Guoan couldn’t stop smiling.
In his excitement, he blurted out, “Do you know if they are boys or girls?”
Wen Guoan’s question left both Wen Yu and Ji Anning speechless. “You can’t tell at this stage; they’re still too small,” they explained.
“Yes, yes, they’re still small. We’ll find out in a few months,” Wen Guoan said, still overjoyed. He directed Wen Yu, “Take good care of Ningning, and Ningning, make sure to rest well.”
He then went upstairs to his study, with little Wen Shujun following behind, holding her favorite doll.
Seeing Wen Guoan wearing reading glasses, busy on the computer, Wen Shujun, standing on tiptoes, asked, “Grandpa, what are you doing?”
“Just figuring out how to reward your mom,” Wen Guoan said with a smile. “Your mom brings prosperity to our family.”
Since Ji Anning entered the family, Wen Yu had put away his guard. Despite his young age, Wen Yu was steady, focused on business and family matters, avoiding any shady dealings.
Ji Anning quickly gave birth to Wen Shujun, and the family of four lived harmoniously. Now, there was another set of twins on the way?
A harmonious home, filled with children and grandchildren—this was the peaceful old age that Wen Guoan desired.
Wen Guoan, who had been carefree in his youth, romantic in his prime, and enjoying family life in middle age, now found contentment in his later years. He had always been the master of money, never its slave, and he was generous with his wealth. In the study, he made some investments under Ji Anning’s name, multiplying her assets several times.
Ji Anning’s belly this time was noticeably larger than when she was pregnant with Wen Shujun. Seeing her belly swell, Wen Yu and Wen Guoan became increasingly eager.
The three even had a dispute about whether to find out the gender of the babies in advance.
In the end, after a wristwatch vote, Wen Yu and Ji Anning won two to one against Wen Guoan. They decided not to find out the gender beforehand and leave the surprise for the moment of birth.
Wen Guoan, having lost the vote, stopped sulking one day and began to smile mysteriously at Wen Yu and Ji Anning. His enigmatic expression puzzled them.
When Wen Yu tried to probe, Wen Guoan, being the old fox that he was, didn’t reveal much. However, Wen Yu knew her father-in-law well.
He quietly said to Ji Anning, “I suspect he cheated.”
Ji Anning: “…?”
Wen Yu: “He definitely asked Director Li.”
When they originally bought the hospital, it was for Ji Anning and Wen Shujun. During the director’s daughter-in-law’s checkups, Director Li had been overseeing everything, paying close attention. Ji Anning regularly underwent ultrasounds, and he must know the gender of the twins.
Wen Guoan wanted to know, and all he had to do was ask.
Ji Anning rubbed her temples and asked, “Can Dad really keep it a secret?”
For most people, especially elderly individuals, they would have spilled the beans by now.
But Wen Guoan wasn’t just anyone.
Wen Yu said with frustration, “He can definitely keep it.”
What was Wen Yu frustrated about? She had originally thought it would be nice not to know the gender in advance, preserving the surprise. However, now that she knew Wen Guoan had found out ahead of time, she felt a bit conflicted.
Such a dilemma.
Ji Anning was speechless.
“If you want to know, go and ask. Just don’t tell me,” Ji Anning still wanted the surprise.
Wen Yu shook his head.
But it was evident that he was struggling and conflicted. Even when they were lying down at night, he turned to her and insisted on betting on the child’s gender. The bet was that the person who lost couldn’t refuse any request from the winner in the bedroom.
“Get lost,” Ji Anning dismissed him, supporting her belly as she slowly turned over.
Wen Yu approached from behind and hugged her. “Come on, let’s bet.”
Ji Anning closed her eyes and fell asleep after a while.
Wen Yu tossed and turned in bed, sighing.
One day, Wen Yu’s conflicted state suddenly disappeared. He became cheerful, smiling, and walking with a spring in his step.
Ji Anning realized then that Wen Yu had defected! He had betrayed her to join Wen Guoan!
He must have found out the gender of the twins!
What’s worse, based on his behavior, Ji Anning had a rough idea of the children’s gender. Oh well, the surprise was completely ruined.
“Is it a boy?” she asked Wen Yu.
“How would I know? I’m not an ultrasound machine,” Wen Yu feigned ignorance. “Aren’t we waiting for a surprise? Don’t rush; we’ll know when it’s time to give birth.”
“You’re ridiculous,” Ji Anning punctured his act without mercy. “Just by looking at you, I knew it must be a boy.”
Caught in the act, Wen Yu hugged her with a mischievous smile. “How did you figure it out?”
With that self-satisfied expression, who couldn’t see it?
Ji Anning accused, “You favor boys.”
Wen Yu denied, “How is that possible? Junjun is my little cotton-padded jacket; I’ll protect her forever!”
But Wen Yu did feel especially and genuinely happy upon learning that the twins were two boys.
Men’s expectations for a “son” are deeply ingrained in almost every man in this country.
At this moment, it was reflected in Wen Guoan and Wen Yu.
Now that they knew the gender, the family naturally unified their words. When talking to Junjun about the baby in mommy’s belly, it was always referred to as the “little brother,” and the mention of a “little sister” was completely dropped.
Even though all the adults in the family secretly hoped to subtly influence Junjun to accept the fact that she would soon have two younger brothers, Junjun did not increase her expectations of having a brother just because they deliberately mentioned it in front of her. She remained steadfast in wanting a little sister.
But the little one couldn’t change anything. Ji Anning carried the pregnancy for ten months and, one day, gave birth to two healthy boys in the summer.
Wen Guoan named them Wen Junsong and Wen Libai, with Junsong being the elder brother, and Libai, born a few minutes later, the younger one.
Junjun now had two younger brothers, with a four-and-a-half-year age difference.
The Wen family suddenly became more lively.
The two newborn young masters of the Wen family naturally received meticulous care.
Although Wen Guoan had convened a family meeting before the birth of Junsong and Libai, instructing Wen Yu and Ji Anning to pay careful attention to Junjun’s psychological well-being, the sudden addition of two newborns and Ji Anning’s postpartum recovery inevitably reduced the time devoted to Jingjing.
Children are always the most sensitive in this regard. Junjun became emotionally low as a result.
Wen Guoan, feeling sorry for Junjun, comforted her, saying, “Because Song and Bai are still little, they need special care during this time. When they start crawling, Mommy will be able to spend more time with Junjun.”
Junjun complained, “But why don’t they crawl yet?”
Even with supernatural abilities, Wen Guoan couldn’t make the two grandsons crawl at this very moment. He reassured her, saying, “It’ll be soon, very soon, they’ll start crawling.”
He tried to cheer Junjun up, saying, “Having younger brothers is great. When they grow up, they become strong and can protect you, Junjun.”
However, Junjun wrinkled her brow and said, “Boys snatch toys from girls. What if the little brothers take my toys? There are two of them, and I can’t win against them alone.”
It was just the naive and amusing words of a young child, but it caught Wen Guoan off guard.
Wen Yu noticed that the joy Wen Guoan initially felt about having twin grandsons seemed to dissipate rapidly.
It’s not that he didn’t love Xiaosong and Xiaobai; it’s just that compared to Wen Yu’s unbridled joy at seeing his sons, Wen Guoan’s joy seemed to fade too quickly.
After some time, Wen Yu even detected a trace of melancholy between Wen Guoan’s brows, and he often seemed absent-minded.
Then, after a while, Wen Guoan suddenly became busy.
