On the day they got their marriage certificate, they had four babies in one pregnancy. What happened

"Why didn't you say anything when you got home? What's wrong? You look terrible."

As soon as Fu Yao looked up, she saw the man standing at the door with a rather unpleasant expression. Startled, she immediately went to greet him.

Seeing Fu Yao's worried expression, Cheng Ji's eyes held a complex look.

He looked down at the little girl's warm, soft hand in his palm, pursed his lips, and suddenly realized that he couldn't say a word.

"Your hands are a little cold. Is your back hurting? Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

Fu Yao pulled the man into the courtyard with concern.

"Duoduo, why don't you let them play in the yard for a while? Let your older brother take a look at his back."

"Okay, sister."

Several children who were playing happily became somewhat reserved when they saw Cheng Ji's unwell expression.

The child is four or five years old. Although he hasn't started school yet, he can already read people's expressions to some extent.

Cheng Ji had also grown up in the compound, so he knew what these kids were thinking. He wasn't the type to take his anger out on the young, and although he felt a little uncomfortable, he still forced a smile.

"Come on, let me see." As soon as they entered the bedroom, Fu Yao eagerly asked Cheng Ji to take off her shirt.

Cheng Ji did not listen to her and take off her clothes, but silently stepped forward and hugged Fu Yao.

"What's wrong today? Is your back bothering you? Or is something wrong with Sun Qianqian's matter?"

Fu Yao looked at Cheng Ji with concern. Cheng Ji hadn't said a word since he came back, and his face looked extremely pale.

"No, I just wanted to hug you," Cheng Ji said after a long pause.

"Hey, you scared me." Fu Yao smiled helplessly when he heard this.

"Alright, alright, stop hugging. Those kids are still outside. It'll be embarrassing if they see us." Fu Yao patted Cheng Ji's arm with a smile.

"in spite of."

Cheng Ji shook his head and pulled Fu Yao onto the bed. No matter how Fu Yao tried to persuade him, he wouldn't let go.

Fu Yao looked at the man in front of him who had suddenly become childish, his eyes filled with a doting affection that he himself hadn't even realized.

She went limp and nestled quietly in the man's arms.

Aren't you going to ask me why I'm like this today?

In the blink of an eye, Cheng Ji had already regulated his emotions. He and Fu Yao had discussed the matter of the child before their marriage, and he shouldn't be wallowing in self-pity here alone.

"I know you'll tell me what you want to say." Fu Yao shook his head, looking at Cheng Ji considerately.

"Do you really like those kids?" Cheng Ji hesitated for a long time before finally deciding to ask.

Fu Yao's heart skipped a beat; she immediately realized that something was wrong with Cheng Ji.

This guy still thinks he's childless, so seeing so many little rascals at home must make him uncomfortable.

Sigh, she was careless; she didn't even notice this.

Thinking of this, Fu Yao looked at Cheng Ji with a touch of heartache.

"No, it's just a polite gesture. After all, they're all your comrade's kids. Although you told me I'm fine with whatever you do at home, they're neighbors, and they're just kids, so it's not right to refuse."

"We'll be living here for decades, so while we don't have to fawn over each other, I think we should at least maintain basic neighborly relations."

Fu Yao did not directly point out Cheng Ji's unspeakable secret, but his words subtly soothed Cheng Ji's somewhat anxious heart.

Seeing Cheng Ji's relaxed gaze, Fu Yao thought to himself that before Cheng Ji knew about the quadruplets in her belly, he should not let those children come to the house to upset him.

However, since she was clearly capable of conceiving, was Cheng Ji's illness misdiagnosed?

With this in mind, Fu Yao looked at Cheng Ji with a thoughtful expression.

Should she find some time to persuade Cheng Ji to get checked out? However, how to bring it up is a big problem.

Fu Yao had originally thought that once Cheng Ji discovered she was pregnant, she would naturally know that he was alright. But now, seeing Cheng Ji's distress, Fu Yao couldn't bear it.

"Thank you for your hard work." Upon hearing that they had lived together for decades, Cheng Ji gave Fu Yao a deep look, her eyes shining brighter.

"It's not tiring, let's go, let's go out, they should go home too. What should we eat today, Chef Cheng?"

Fu Yao couldn't think of a way to start the conversation, but she didn't want Cheng Ji to remain in a bad mood, so she changed the subject.

Cheng Ji was indeed calmed down by Fu Yao. When she heard Fu Yao ask what she wanted to eat, she subconsciously touched Fu Yao's stomach.

Seeing that her stomach was still bulging, Cheng Ji asked curiously, "What did you eat this afternoon?"

"Look, we didn't finish eating. This is the payment the children gave me for embroidering."

Fu Yao pointed to the unfinished eggs and red dates in front of the dressing mirror.

Cheng Ji looked at the scattered items on the table, a slight smile appearing on his face.

"Then you can take your time with dinner. I'll make some dough and give you some cold noodles to try."

"Sure, I was just thinking about having something cold." Fu Yao slurped, his mouth watering just thinking about it.

Cheng Ji was amused by Fu Yao's reaction, and the gloom she had felt when she first entered the room vanished.

The children in the yard were playing "eagle catches chicks," and Fu Yao and Cheng Ji didn't disturb them. The couple tacitly went into the kitchen.

As darkness fell, the parents of the children arrived one after another to pick them up. Each child excitedly showed off the flowers Fu Yao embroidered to their parents.

"Wow, this looks so beautiful! Do you want to thank me, Aunt Fu?"

Duo Duo's mother, Zhang Yujie, is a straightforward person, just like her child. Seeing the embroidery on Duo Duo's clothes, she repeatedly praised Fu Yao.

The other parents felt the same way; Fu Yao's image in their minds improved dramatically because of the children's smiles.

Seeing that his hard work had been recognized, Fu Yao smiled slightly.

Looking at Fu Yao's exceptionally beautiful face, everyone sighed inwardly that Professor Cheng had married a beautiful wife.

Cheng Ji also raised his head with great pride.

The couple closed the door together, only to find a child sitting on the kitchen steps.

There were so many parents picking up their children that Fu Yao and Cheng Ji didn't notice the one who hadn't come to pick them up yet.

"Lele, do you want Auntie to take you home?" Fu Yao bent down and looked tenderly at the little boy who was playing with his fingers.

She had just noticed that the child was very quiet, so quiet that it was easy to overlook his presence.

Of all the children, aside from having a little interaction with Duoduo, he sat quietly beside her, looking at the handkerchief in his hand.

She left, and I sat down on the steps by myself.

"It's my older sister."

"It's my older sister."

Lele raised her head and stubbornly repeated it twice.

Fu Yao and Cheng Ji exchanged a glance, surprised that the child would be so concerned about this.

"Okay, okay, you can call me whatever you want. Sweetie Lele, tell your sister where you live, okay?"

Fu Yao continued to ask softly, while inwardly feeling some dissatisfaction with Lele's parents. It's so late, and they haven't come to pick up their child? Are they really that careless?

"don't want."

After Lele finished speaking, she glanced timidly at Cheng Ji, then rushed into the kitchen and hugged the table leg next to Fu Yao's seat tightly.
