Marrying a childless superior, she became pregnant and lived a carefree life in the 1970s.

Chapter 97 confirms she's pregnant, and with twins no less!
"What's wrong? What if someone comes?" Gu Jianing looked around. At this time and place, someone could pass by at any moment.

In this day and age, even legitimate married couples can't just hold hands, hug, or kiss casually in public, otherwise they'll be accused of having questionable morals.

Sheng Zexi snorted, seemingly arrogant, and said, "I'm not afraid."

Everyone knows that Sheng Zexi is a troublemaker in the Northwest Military Region. Anyone who tries to cause him trouble is just asking for trouble.

Actually, Sheng Zexi had just felt inexplicably flustered.

Just now, his attention was entirely on Gu Jianing. He saw the complex emotions in Ningning's eyes—sadness, doubt, and confusion...

After that, Sheng Zexi had the feeling that she didn't belong to this world, and that she might be like a fairy who was about to ride the wind away.

At that moment, Sheng Zexi panicked and didn't care about anything else.

Instinctively, he reached out and hugged her tightly, as if only by feeling her warmth in his arms could he be sure that she was truly by his side.

Sheng Zexi couldn't help but recall a dream he had not long ago, in which Ningning did not agree to his arranged marriage but instead married Wen Zhuqing.

When Sheng Zexi woke up from that dream, he was terrified and held Gu Jianing in his arms for a long time before the unease in his heart subsided a little.

"Alright, let's hurry up and go to the auditorium. I want to sit closer to the front," Gu Jianing said, patting his arm.

Sheng Zexi reluctantly let go of her hand, then took Gu Jianing's hand again and headed towards the auditorium.

As they walked, they encountered Zhang Shuwan and her family of three, as well as Jiang Baihe and Chai Jianguo. After that, there were more and more people on the road, all heading towards the auditorium. The Northwest Military Region, which had been quiet due to the heavy snow blocking the mountains, became much more lively on this New Year's Eve thanks to the performance by the cultural troupe, and even the temperature seemed to have become less cold.

Gu Jianing looked at Zhang Shuwan and Jiang Baihe, calculating the time.

Jiang Baihe has been cured by her for more than a month, but Gu Jianing doesn't know if she is pregnant or not.

But Sister Shu Wan...

Sister Shu Wan said she took the twin boy pills that day, and it's been more than a month since then.

She's probably pregnant by now, but she probably doesn't know it yet.

"I'm going to talk to Sister Shuwan." With that, Gu Jianing walked over to Zhang Shuwan's side.

As soon as Zhang Shuwan saw her coming, her eyes lit up, and Guoguo also clung to her.

"Your Battalion Commander Sheng finally decided to let you come over," Zhang Shuwan joked.

She saw it clearly: Battalion Commander Sheng was holding Gu Jianing's hand tightly, standing beside her like a guardian angel.

It seemed that he was about to enjoy some alone time with Gu Jianing, and no one else dared to interfere.

Gu Jianing laughed when she thought of Sheng Zexi's strong possessiveness. "Sister Shu Wan, please stop teasing me. I came here to ask you something."

"What's the matter?"

Gu Jianing leaned over, and Lin Xing, being quite perceptive, went to talk to Sheng Zexi who was standing next to her.

Gu Jianing asked quietly, "Did you get your period this month?"

That one? Which one?
Zhang Shuwan was puzzled for a moment, but quickly realized what was going on.

Yes, how could she forget? Her period is supposed to start a couple of days before her period, but it hasn't come yet.

These past few days, Zhang Shuwan has been busy preparing for the New Year, and for a moment she forgot about it.

If Gu Jianing hadn't brought it up now, she doesn't know when she would have remembered it.

She quickly remembered the pill Gu Jianing had given her that could help her conceive, and then thought about how her period was still late each month. Zhang Shuwan, who already had one child, immediately realized what was going on.

My heart is pounding. "Jia Ning, you...you mean I might, might..."

"I think it's almost certainly true." Gu Jianing gave her an almost 100% affirmative answer.

"Really?!" Zhang Shuwan was so excited she almost blurted it out, but thankfully she managed to control herself.

"You can observe her a little longer. I estimate that she'll be able to find out in about two weeks." Gu Jianing didn't suggest that Zhang Shuwan get a blood test, since it wouldn't make a difference if she waited another two weeks.

Oh right, Gu Jianing suddenly realized that her eyes could scan things.

He immediately looked at Zhang Shuwan and mentally activated the scanner in his eyes.

The scanner quickly provided the results.

Zhang Shuwan is indeed pregnant, and it's twins, no doubt about it.

"Okay, Jia Ning, I understand. I will observe carefully. If it is confirmed to be good news, I will tell you."

"it is good."

After Gu Jianing left and returned to Sheng Zexi's side, Lin Xing came over, picked up Guoguo, looked at his wife who seemed a little dazed and still had a hint of excitement in her eyes, and asked, "What's wrong? What did Comrade Gu say to you?"

Zhang Shuwan instinctively opened her mouth as if to say something, but seeing so many people around her, she held back.

"I'll tell you when I get back tonight; it's good news."

Lin Xing: Okay.

Gu Jianing then scanned Jiang Baihe in front of her with the scanner, and was even happier when she saw that the latter was also pregnant.

She hesitated whether to remind Jiang Baihe, but then decided against it.

Some surprises are more exciting and joyful when you discover them yourself.

If someone else points it out, it might fall short.

Soon, the group arrived at the auditorium.

Inside the auditorium, rows of seats were arranged. The first one or two rows were reserved for leaders, while the seats at the back were open to anyone.

Knowing that Gu Jianing wanted to be closer to the front, Sheng Zexi chose a position in the fourth row, so that he wouldn't have to face the leader and would still be considered to be in the front.

Zhang Shuwan quickly pulled her husband and Guoguo to sit down next to Gu Jianing and his wife.

With only about ten minutes left before the performance was scheduled to begin, many people began to arrive.

Gu Jianing was already beautiful, and now, with the transformation from the "National Beauty and Fragrance Pill," she is even more perfect.

In addition, she had dressed up carefully tonight, and now, as soon as she entered the auditorium, she looked even more dazzling under the lights.

In the military region, if you were to ask what's most numerous, it would undoubtedly be single soldiers.

Sure enough, when these young men saw Gu Jianing, they were almost unable to move their legs. Some were even stunned when they saw her, and some even bumped into each other.

The single soldiers' hearts were pounding. Their initial excitement came to an abrupt halt when they saw Sheng Zexi beside the beauty. Their budding romance withered, especially when they learned that the beauty was the wife of Battalion Commander Sheng. Their hearts shattered into pieces.

In the Northwest Military Region, Sheng Zexi was known by everyone for his troublesome and sharp-tongued nature. He was even the top soldier for several consecutive years, so powerful that no one dared to mess with him.

Now that this beauty is his wife, how could they dare to have any other thoughts?
