"What’s wrong? What if soone cos?" Gu Jia Ning looked around. At this ti, at this place, people could pass by at any mont.
In this era, even for married couples, showing affection in public like holding hands, hugging, or kissing could lead to accusations of inappropriate conduct.
Sheng Zexi snorted, with a bit of defiance: "I’m not afraid."
Everyone knew that Sheng Zexi was a tough guy in the Northwest Military Region. Anyone who tried to ss with him was just asking for trouble.
Actually, Sheng Zexi just felt inexplicably anxious a mont ago.
A mont ago, his attention was all on Gu Jia Ning. He saw the look in Ningning’s eyes, filled with complex emotions—sadness, confusion, bewildernt...
Afterward, Sheng Zexi felt as if she didn’t belong to this world, as if she might float away like a fairy on the breeze at any mont.
In that instant, Sheng Zexi’s heart panicked, and he disregarded everything else.
Instinctively, he reached out and held her tightly in his arms, as if only by feeling her warmth could he confirm she was really by his side.
Sheng Zexi couldn’t help but recall a recent dream, where Ningning didn’t agree to see him but married Wen Zhqing instead.
When he woke from that dream, Sheng Zexi was so frightened that he held Gu Jia Ning in his arms for a long ti before his anxiety subsided a little.
"Alright, let’s hurry to the auditorium. I want to sit closer to the front." Gu Jia Ning patted his arm and said.
Only then did Sheng Zexi reluctantly let go of her, then he took Gu Jia Ning’s hand again, heading towards the auditorium.
As they walked, they encountered Zhang Shuwan and her family, as well as Jiang Baihe and Chai Jian Country. More and more people appeared on the way, all heading to the auditorium. On this New Year’s Eve, even the quiet Northwest Military Region, silenced by heavy snow blocking the mountains, was bustling with activity due to the art troupe’s performance, so much so that the temperature seed a bit warr.
Gu Jia Ning looked at Zhang Shuwan and Jiang Baihe, calculating the ti.
It had been over a month since she helped Jiang Baihe recover. She couldn’t be sure if Jiang Baihe was pregnant yet.
As for Sister Shu Wan...
After taking the Twin Male Treasure Pill, Sister Shu Wan said she ate it the day she got it, which was also over a month ago.
She was probably pregnant too; she just might not know it yet.
"I’ll go talk to Sister Shu Wan." With that, Gu Jia Ning walked over to Zhang Shuwan.
When Zhang Shuwan saw her coming, her eyes lit up, and Guoguo clung to her as well.
"Your Battalion Commander Sheng finally let you co over." Zhang Shuwan teased.
She had seen how tightly Battalion Commander Sheng was holding Gu Jia Ning’s hand, standing by her side like a guardian angel.
As if wanting a world just for two, making others hesitate to co closer.
Thinking of Sheng Zexi’s strong possessiveness, Gu Jia Ning couldn’t help but smile, "Sister Shu Wan, stop teasing . I have sothing to ask you."
"What is it?"
Gu Jia Ning leaned closer, Lin Xing sensibly went over to talk to Sheng Zexi.
Gu Jia Ning whispered, "This month, did that co?"
That? Which one?
Zhang Shuwan was puzzled for a mont but quickly understood.
Right, how could she forget? Her monthly period, which should have co two days ago, hadn’t arrived yet.
These days, she had been busy preparing for the New Year and had forgotten all about it.
If Gu Jia Ning hadn’t ntioned it now, she didn’t know when she would have rembered.
She quickly rembered the pill Gu Jia Ning gave her to help with pregnancy and realized her period was late this month.
Having already had one child, Zhang Shuwan quickly caught on.
Her heart started pounding, "Jia Ning, you an, I might, I might..."
"I think there’s a good chance." Gu Jia Ning gave her an almost certain answer.
"Really?!" Zhang Shuwan was so excited she almost spoke out loud but managed to control herself.
"You can keep an eye on things. In about half a month, you should know for sure." Gu Jia Ning didn’t suggest Zhang Shuwan do a blood test, thinking it wouldn’t make much difference in half a month.
Oh, right, Gu Jia Ning suddenly rembered that her eyes could scan.
So she imdiately looked at Zhang Shuwan and activated the scanner in her eyes.
Soon, the scanner provided results.
Zhang Shuwan was indeed pregnant, and it was twins, without a doubt.
"Alright, Jia Ning, I understand. I’ll keep a close watch. If it’s good news, I’ll let you know."
"Okay."
When Gu Jia Ning returned to Sheng Zexi’s side, Lin Xing ca over, picked up Guoguo, and looked at his wife, who seed a bit dazed, with a hint of excitent on her brow, asking, "What’s up? What did Mr. Gu say?"
Zhang Shuwan instinctively opened her mouth but, seeing all the people around, held back.
"I’ll tell you when we get ho tonight; it’s good news."
Lin Xing: Alright.
anwhile, Gu Jia Ning used the scanner to check Jiang Baihe ahead of her. Seeing that the latter was pregnant too made her even happier.
She hesitated about whether to remind Jiang Baihe but decided against it.
Sotis discovering surprises on your own can be more exciting and joyful.
Being told might lessen the experience sowhat.
Soon, the group reached the auditorium.
Inside the auditorium, rows of seats stretched out, with the first couple of rows reserved for leaders, but the rest were open seating.
Since Gu Jia Ning wanted to sit closer to the front, Sheng Zexi chose seats in the fourth row, which kept them from facing the leadership yet was still close to the front.
Zhang Shuwan quickly pulled her husband and Guoguo to sit next to Gu Jia Ning and her husband.
With about ten minutes left before the performance started, many people began arriving.
Gu Jia Ning was naturally beautiful, and after the transformation from the National Beauty Pill, she was almost perfect.
Dressed up ticulously tonight, she looked even more dazzling under the auditorium lights.
In the military district, the single soldiers were undoubtedly the most nurous.
Seeing Gu Jia Ning, these young n couldn’t help but freeze, staring dumbfounded, so even collided.
Their hearts raced faster at the sight of her, but once they saw Sheng Zexi next to the beauty, all thoughts ceased abruptly, and their blooming hopes withered away—especially when they discovered the beauty was Battalion Commander Sheng’s wife, their hearts shattered into pieces.
Sheng Zexi’s notorious reputation in the Northwest Military Region as a troublemaker, with a sharp tongue and victories in consecutive soldier competitions, made him formidable and untouchable.
Now, knowing the beauty was his wife, how could they dare entertain any thoughts?
