The pushover offended a top-tier boss

Days passed by one after another. Ye Zhenzhen's belly grew bigger day by day.

At five months, she felt fetal movement for the first time. That evening, she was sitting on the sofa reading when she suddenly felt something move gently inside her, like a little fish blowing a bubble.

She froze, put down her book, and placed her hand on that spot. After a while, it moved again, more clearly, like a hand gently tapping her through her stomach.

Her tears suddenly welled up.

She sat on the sofa, one hand on her stomach and the other covering her mouth, crying silently.

Old Zhou, our child can move now.

She really wanted him to touch her.

I wonder what he'll be like when he has two kids? Little Zhou already annoys him to no end; if two more kids come along, his study will probably be completely taken over.

During the 4D ultrasound, the doctor gave her two photos. Two tiny facial features were vaguely discernible; a nose and mouth were present, the eyes were closed, and her little hands were clenched into fists and pressed against her face.

She stared at the two photos for a long time, finding them both cute and ugly, like two tiny salted egg superheroes.

The doctor said it was a boy and a girl, twins.

She was both surprised and delighted, feeling incredibly lucky to suddenly have both a son and a daughter.

The school curriculum wasn't extensive; she would occasionally attend classes, go to the library, and sometimes take walks or do yoga.

From behind, she was almost impossible to tell that she was pregnant; her waist was still slim, only her belly was protruding.

She felt she was carrying an angel baby. Since becoming pregnant, her skin had improved due to hormones, and her overall complexion was even better than before.

"Madam, twins can usually be delivered via C-section after full term. I've selected a few hospitals for you. Which one do you think is more suitable? These are all top-tier hospitals with authoritative obstetricians."

Her family doctor, who is in charge of her health, has already selected a hospital for her delivery.

Ye Zhenzhen flipped through the documents, feeling a little apprehensive.

She's only six months along now; she can give birth after nine months.

In a foreign country, she was afraid of hospitals since childhood, and would be nervous for a long time even for a simple injection. She had never experienced surgery.

Lin Zhi comforted her over the phone, "Don't be afraid, I'm coming to be with you right now."

Ye Zhenzhen felt a little relieved.

However, Zhou Chenyu arrived before Lin Zhi did.

Ye Zhenzhen was somewhat surprised when she saw her. She understood that Zhou Chenyu must have many things to deal with in China, so why would she come all the way here?

Zhou Chenyu was both surprised and delighted when he saw her protruding belly. "Your belly is so big already."

She touched it gently, then withdrew her hand. "Zhou'er would probably be shocked if she saw this."

She carefully helped her up, saying, "Let's go home."

"Go home?" Ye Zhenzhen was taken aback.

"Yes. Not born abroad."

Zhou Chenyu had already arranged a private jet, the cabin of which was extremely comfortable, taking good care of her, a pregnant woman.

The flight attendants and the accompanying pregnancy consultant kept a close eye on her health.

The closer Ye Zhenzhen got to her destination, the more anxious she became.

She finally spoke up and asked, "Sister, can I see him?"

Zhou Chenyu nodded. "Yes."

Seeing her expression, Ye Zhenzhen roughly understood what was going on.

If it were a happy occasion, I probably would have told her already.

She didn't ask any more questions, but her fingers tightened slightly around the seatbelt.

Even if he's sentenced, his family will still have the opportunity to visit him. It's okay, just being able to see him is already a blessing.

She wanted to tell him she was pregnant, with twins. That way, he would have something to look forward to while he was inside.

Zhou Huaijin arrived at the airport pick-up point two hours early.

During those two hours, he kept checking his watch, restless, and paced back and forth in the waiting area countless times.

Zhou's mother, sitting on the chair next to her, couldn't stand it any longer: "Why are you in such a hurry? She can't run away."

He responded with an "Mm," but his steps didn't stop.

The announcement of the flight's arrival finally came over the loudspeaker. He stood at the exit, his eyes fixed on the door.

The countdown in my mind ticked away second by second, like something was knocking inside.

Until that familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.

She was wearing a light pink knitted dress, her hair was tied in a simple bun, and her expression was indifferent, neither happy nor sad, like the calm of someone who had walked a long way and was finally nearing the end.

Her hands were protectively placed in front of her stomach; the dress was form-fitting, clearly outlining the contours of her belly.

His gaze fell on that round, curved shape, and he stood frozen in place as if struck by something.

His throat felt like it was blocked by something, and he couldn't even speak properly.

"What...what's in her belly?"

Hearing this ridiculous question, Zhou's mother rolled her eyes at him and said irritably, "It's a ball."

Ye Zhenzhen walked slowly, her head down, instinctively protecting her stomach, her gaze fixed on the ground ahead.

She wasn't deliberately looking for anything; she was just walking quietly.

Until her peripheral vision inadvertently caught sight of that figure at the exit.

He stood there, wearing a thin, dark gray sweater, looking rather thin, staring straight at her.

She froze on the spot.

In the bustling airport, the two people were separated by more than ten meters, like two islands that had been separated by the tide and then met again.

Ye Zhenzhen looked at him, and could no longer hold back her tears.

At this moment, the longing, concern, and grievances of being separated for so long intertwined.

She stood there, tears blurring her vision, her lips moving but unable to utter a single word.

The next second, Zhou Huaijin ran towards her.

He ran very fast, his long legs striding as if he couldn't wait a moment longer. People around him turned to look, but he didn't care at all.

He stopped in front of her, pulled her into his arms, and held her so tightly that he was afraid she would disappear again if he let go.

Ye Zhenzhen buried her face in his chest, inhaling his familiar scent. She could hear his heartbeat, fast and heavy.

Zhou Chenyu stood not far away, watching that scene, her eyes also getting a little hot.

Like their father, her younger brother was always calm and composed. She never expected that this man in his thirties would act like a young man and give her a passionate hug at the airport.

Neither of them spoke, they simply held each other tightly. Zhou Huaijin's hand slid down her back, finally resting on her pregnant belly, feeling the warm, rounded curve beneath her thin knitted dress. His fingers trembled slightly.

"Old Zhou...you're alright..." Ye Zhenzhen choked back tears, finally unable to hold back any longer, "I've finally seen you..."
