Upon hearing the nurse’s voice announcing the good news, Gu Yuzhu finally felt relieved and quickly grabbed the nurse’s arm, asking repeatedly, "Is she okay?"
It’s rare to see soone whose first concern is the woman’s health. The nurse had a good impression of Gu Yuzhu. Although she had been in a hurry and had other tasks to attend to, she was willing to spend a few extra minutes patiently explaining things to Gu Yuzhu.
"Your friend is in good condition; she just passed out from exhaustion."
Gu Yuzhu: "Uh... she’s... she’s not my wife."
Instinctively explaining, he looked up to find the nurse’s face suddenly changed, with shock, embarrassnt, and a well-hidden curiosity.
Gu Yuzhu himself was also terribly embarrassed. Faced with the nurse’s clear gaze, he dryly explained, "We... we’re good friends..."
The nurse realized she had made a blunder and awkwardly said, "Then quickly contact the pregnant woman’s husband. The newborn’s birth certificate still requires the father to be present."
The nurse had never encountered such a situation before and was a bit unsure about how to handle it.
The birth of a newborn to both parents is typically a huge surprise and expectation.
In the past, it was common for the entire family to be involved when a pregnant woman gave birth. Not to ntion the husband who would be waiting outside at all tis.
The pregnant woman lying inside the delivery room was handled by the man before her, leading all the dical staff to believe that the two were married.
The intimate atmosphere between them was obvious to everyone; they weren’t blind.
But never would they have guessed that this man and the pregnant woman inside were just friends...
Perhaps it was the nurse’s strange gaze, or perhaps Gu Yuzhu himself felt a bit guilty. He also realized that his relationship with Luyue might easily cause so misunderstandings.
Previously, he hadn’t felt there was an issue.
Gu Yuzhu: "Then, then I’ll let my wife co to take care of Luyue."
"You’ve already married?" The nurse couldn’t help but exclaim, realizing her outburst and tried to cover up awkwardly, "I didn’t an anything by it, don’t misunderstand."
Gu Yuzhu naturally said it was nothing.
"There’s no need for your wife to personally co to take care of her. Your friend’s situation is different from usual; being able to deliver five healthy newborns in one birth is simply a miracle. The higher-ups will dispatch professional care staff to take care of Miss Bai Lu Yue, and the five newborns will be transferred to a high-grade care room."
"Ah, that’s really good," Gu Yuzhu said awkwardly.
After this incident, the happiness Gu Yuzhu initially felt suddenly plumted, like a roller coaster, to the bottom of the valley.
Only then did he rember Lan Xi, suddenly realizing that since their unpleasant previous encounter, he hadn’t seen Lan Xi for a while.
At the sa ti, Lan Xi, whom Gu Yuzhu suddenly thought of, was carrying a huge pregnant belly, supported by her sister-in-law, heading to the city’s welfare center to collect her maternity benefits.
Gu Yuzhu still didn’t know that his wife was silently planning to surprise him, the unsuspecting dad.
------------
Five years passed in a flash.
Su Li, apart from maintaining a nominal marital relationship with Mu Zhuoming, nearly every other relationship had dropped to a freezing point.
With Mu Family and Su Family, apart from normal cooperative relations, all projects favoring Mu Family’s interests were canceled, making Mu Zhuoming suddenly realize that his once-submissive wife had truly changed.
So, love really can disappear, right?
Thinking of this made Mu Zhuoming restless and furious.
Love, once gained, suddenly loses its value, right?
Su Li is such a deceiver.
Mu Zhuoming, who always maintained his calm, could be described as a rational machine spinning at high speed.
All his emotional goals were rooted in interests, and he vaguely sensed his own state was off.
Suppressing the erging emotions, Mu Zhuoming returned to his expressionless, ruthless company president persona.
He calmly analyzed his own actions, concluding: A woman’s heart is as unpredictable as the ocean depths.
When speaking of love, it’s heartfelt; when speaking of indifference, it’s brutally realistic.
How did he ever develop the illusion that Su Li was easy to control?
Now Su Li is as cold-hearted as stone; no matter how many flowers or gifts he sends, nor tender sentints, she remains unmoved.
But he is still powerless to do anything about it.
Despite his five years of effort, Mu Family remains much weaker than Su Family.
Originally, with Su Family’s help, Mu Family had so chance to surpass Qin Family, but now... the chasm between the three families is only growing.
If Su Li knew about Mu Zhuoming’s current worries, she would definitely laugh at his needless concerns.
The fastest path to the divine avenue is right in front of him, yet he remains unaware.
Su Li’s arrival had disrupted the previous life trajectory completely, yet so things still proceeded along their destined path.
Such as the successful finale of the first season of ’Little Darlings, Rush Rush Rush’ reality show.
Just like in the past life, Bai Lu Yue and her quintuplets made a huge splash nationwide upon their appearance.
Their popularity even surpassed contemporaries like the emperor’s son, jewelry tycoon’s daughter, and other children.
How could they not stand out? Quintuplets are so rare, five identical adorable babies looking at you can lt your heart.
Su Li also watched the program ’Little Darlings, Rush Rush Rush’.
Speaking of Bai Lu Yue’s five babies being adorable, they’re not quite that cute.
Not to say that, since all baby creatures are cute. It’s just that those five little ones don’t quite match the wonderful words people attach to them.
But the quintuplets’ halo is so strong that most of what’s shown on screen is their cute side.
Only Su Li, who had the original owner’s mories, knew that those quintuplets were like mischievous little monsters... giving her a hard ti, a perfect helper to Bai Lu Yue.
"Now that the final episode of ’Little Darlings, Rush Rush Rush’ has aired, what do we do if we can’t see the Bai Tuanzi anymore? Just thinking about not seeing the Bai Tuanzi’s smiles makes lose my desire to work."
"I really like Bai Tuanzi too, both the brother and the little sisters are so cute."
"I envy the Bai Tuanzi’s parents; my husband and I can’t even conceive one, yet they had five adorable babies in one go."
.....
Walking outside, everywhere Su Li went, she could hear talk about the Bai Tuanzi.
Bai Tuanzi refers to Bai Lu Yue’s quintuplets, born fair and tender like lotus root balls, earning them the affectionate nickna Bai Tuanzi.
After hearing much of the sa, one distinct voice caught Su Li’s attention.
Her steps that had been moving forward unexpectedly turned in a different direction, stopping in front of an elegant coffee shop.
Sitting at an outdoor table in the café were several young won in their thirties.
They were discussing the cuteness of the Bai Tuanzi, when one of them suddenly interjected: "I have a distant cousin who also gave birth to triplets."
"I heard she originally carried quintuplets but went to the hospital for reduction."
