Chapter 809: 810, any tricks? (second update)

Fortunately, Chu Jin was quick to act.

"Thank you, big sister," the child said politely.

There were so many relatives in the Mo family that Chu Jin couldn’t tell which child belonged to whom. She smiled warmly, "Be good, you should call me auntie, oh."

She was about to have a baby, and she felt a bit embarrassed to be called "sister" by such a little kid.

"But you look like a big sister," the child blinked, "Dad said that anyone who is pretty should be called sister."

Chu Jin was still pleased to be complimented on her looks. She patted the child on the head and said softly, "Alright, go play, but be careful."

The child’s face turned slightly red, and he ran off in a flash.

Chu Jin had just stood up when she was blocked by a tall figure in front of her. She looked up slightly and saw Mr. Mo, whom she hadn’t seen for many days.

Haven’t seen for several days, Mo Zhixuan appeared somewhat haggard, with some blue stubble poking out on his chin, but this didn’t affect his good looks in the least.

Chu Jin slightly curled her lips and reached out to hug him, "Mr. Mo, welcome back."

Mo Zhixuan wrapped his arms around her shoulders and gently rubbed his bearded chin against the forehead of Chu Jin, his eyes filled with warmth.

The newly sprouted stubble tickled Chu Jin’s forehead, making it itchy. She raised her head and pinched Mo Zhixuan’s jaw.

Mo Zhixuan just looked at her, then leaned down for a kiss.

"Let’s go upstairs together," he suggested.

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows playfully and replied, "I haven’t had breakfast yet. You go by yourself. I’ll wait for you downstairs." With that, she slipped away from Mo Zhixuan’s sight.

Mo Zhixuan watched her leave and sighed softly.

Chu Jin arrived at the living room, where everyone was gathered together, cracking seeds, chatting, playing mahjong...

A few younger people were also huddled together, gaming, playing battle royale.

Old Mrs. Mo came over to Chu Jin with a bowl of handmade noodles she had prepared herself, "Jin, it’s crowded in the living room. Come eat in the dining room, and be careful not to let those mischievous kids bump into you."

"Alright," Chu Jin took the noodles and followed the elder Mrs. Mo to the dining room, then asked, "Has Aunt Tong not come back?"

Chu Jin hadn’t seen Tong Zhi in the living room just now. It had been almost three months since Tong Zhi had been away from home.

Old Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Your Aunt Tong is currently with the kids in Mauritius. I figured it would be quite troublesome for them to come back all this way, especially with two children, so I didn’t ask them to come back, especially since Qingyi’s engagement party has already taken place."

After all, it was just a ceremony.

The thought was what mattered.

"That’s true," Chu Jin smiled lightly, "How are Xiangru and Yimo now? Have they started smiling?"

"Yes, they have," said Old Mrs. Mo, "Now the two little ones are becoming cuter by the day, and they’re starting to look more and more like your Aunt Tong." She pulled out her phone, "Look, this is the photo your Aunt Tong sent yesterday. Don’t Xiangru and Yimo look a lot like your Aunt Tong?"

In the photo, with a backdrop of the blue sky, white clouds, and the sea, two chubby babies sat on the beach, their faces beaming with innocent smiles.

Surprisingly, these two children indeed bore a resemblance to Tong Zhi, especially around their almond-shaped eyes which looked as if they had been carved from the same mold.

"Wow, so cute," Chu Jin’s eyes curved with delight as she looked at the two children, "Xiangru and Yimo have changed so much. They’re like two different kids now. And you’re right, they really do look like Aunt Tong. It’s truly fate."

If they were out on the street, hardly anyone would guess that the children weren’t born to Tong Zhi.

Moreover, Chu Jin could no longer see any trace of Luo Yu in Xiangru and Yimo.

Old Mrs. Mo said with a beaming smile, "Isn’t there an old saying? People who aren’t related by blood won’t step into the same household. As the heart is, so will be the countenance. These children consider Xiao Zhi as their mother and were raised by her hand, so it’s normal for them to resemble Xiao Zhi."

There was truth in those words.

Old Mrs. Mo was really pleased that Tong Zhi had made it to where she was today, with a husband and children.

When Chu Jin finished her noodles and returned to the living room, she found that almost all the guests had arrived. The room was bustling with people, lively and harmonious.

Chu Jin’s heart, too, leaped with joy.

It seemed like the Mo family had not been this lively in a very long time.

Zhou Xunian and Weiwei came through the door from outside, "Sister-in-law, I’ve missed you so much. It’s been a long time no see." When Weiwei saw Chu Jin, she hurried over and embraced her enthusiastically.

Zhou Xunian quickly followed and pulled Weiwei back, saying nervously, "Weiwei, be careful. Sister-in-law is not in a good condition right now, be mindful not to bump into her."

Chu Jin was naturally thin and now pregnant with twins, making her belly look extraordinarily large.

"It’s okay, it’s okay," Chu Jin said with a light smile, "Xunian, what are you talking about? Am I made of paper or something?"

"It’s better to be safe," Zhou Xunian carefully took off the scarf from Weiwei’s neck and continued, "Ninth Sister-in-law, you are now the Mo family’s top priority for protection. I can’t let anything happen to you; otherwise, Ninth Brother would never forgive me!"

If something happened to Chu Jin because of Weiwei, his end days would be upon him...

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly and her gaze fell on Weiwei’s shoulder, asking, "Is it snowing outside?"

Weiwei nodded, "Yes, Ninth Sister-in-law, it’s a heavy snowfall. I heard from the Star Master that this is the heaviest snowfall in the Superpower World in the last thirteen years. Do you want to go out and see?"

Heavy snow is an omen of a bountiful year; snowfall on your wedding day is also a good omen.

"Sure," Chu Jin nodded slightly, with a faint smile playing at the corners of her mouth, her dimples shallow.

"Then I’ll accompany you," Weiwei said affectionately, taking Chu Jin by the hand.

Zhou Xunian said from the side, a bit anxiously, "Ninth Sister-in-law, outside is windy and snowy, with some places even icy. You better not go out, what if..."

This Weiwei is really careless, with such heavy snow, how could she let Ninth Sister-in-law go outside!

What if Chu Jin fell?

What if the children in Chu Jin’s belly caught a cold because of the cold?

"It’s fine, I’m just going for a walk. With Weiwei by my side, you don’t have to worry." Chu Jin didn’t feel that pregnancy brought any inconvenience, just that her belly was a bit large, and that she had to sleep on her side at night; in other aspects, she was almost like a normal person.

"Then, we’ll accompany you," Zhou Xunian said as he carefully wrapped the scarf around Weiwei’s neck again, the bright rose still conspicuous in the web between his thumb and forefinger.

Now, their love had finally blossomed and bore fruit.

The three of them stepped out the door together.

Outside, the world was blanketed in white.

Snow, often referred to as auspicious, brings vitality and hope to the land.

The snow on Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe’s wedding day was an auspicious sign.

The snow was falling heavily. Chu Jin held an umbrella, standing in the snow, watching Weiwei and Zhou Xunian playfully throwing snowballs at each other, lost in thought.

In a trance, she saw herself and Mo Zhixuan in their figures.

Just as Chu Jin was slightly distracted, she felt a warm scarf being wrapped around her neck.

Chu Jin looked up slightly and, as expected, Mo Zhixuan was the one who approached.

After grooming, the fatigue had vanished from Mo Zhixuan’s face, and his chin, once shadowed by stubble, was now as pristine as ever. In such cold weather, he wore only a thin white shirt, with a black overcoat on top.

Looking at him like this, he seemed several years younger.

"Aren’t you cold wearing so little?" Chu Jin handed the umbrella to Mo Zhixuan and adjusted his lapels with her hand.

Mo Zhixuan looked down slightly, speaking in a low voice, "Young people aren’t afraid of the cold."

Chu Jin said without amusement, "Have some shame, thank you!"

But Mo Zhixuan just wrapped an arm around her shoulders.

This man was really becoming less and less shameless.

Where was his icy, aloof demeanor from their first encounter now?

Thinking this, Chu Jin’s steps quickened. Mo Zhixuan slightly curved his lips, a sly smile dancing across his face. He took a long stride, enclosing Chu Jin in his arms, just as he was about to say something.

Weiwei chased after them hurriedly from behind, "Ninth Sister-in-law, Ninth Sister-in-law, let’s go see Qingyi together. I feel a bit embarrassed to go alone."

"Sure," Chu Jin immediately took Weiwei’s hand, with a smile in her eyes, "I was just thinking of going up."

Mo Zhixuan turned his gaze to Zhou Xunian, the expression in his eyes quite clear.

Zhou Xunian’s heart gave a shiver, wanting to stop Weiwei, but considering the consequences,

Forget it...

He’d just silently endure Mo Zhixuan’s glare.

The two women headed for Mo Qingyi’s room; it wasn’t proper for Mo Zhixuan and Zhou Xunian to follow.

Upstairs.

Chu Jin and Weiwei pushed open the door and saw Mo Qingyi sitting in front of the vanity mirror, still having makeup applied to her face by the makeup artist.

Bridal makeup is quite sophisticated, with many intricacies involved, so Mo Qingyi had been sitting there for over two hours, but her makeup wasn’t even half done.

"Jin brother, Weiwei, you’re here," greeted Mo Qingyi with a smile, spotting the two in her mirror reflection.

Aside from the makeup artist, there were no other outsiders in Mo Qingyi’s room at that time.

Weiwei walked up to Mo Qingyi, looked her up and down, and then exclaimed, "Wow! Qingqing! You look so beautiful today! Becoming a bride really is different, even your aura has changed."

Although the makeup on Mo Qingyi’s face was only half finished, she indeed looked much better than usual.

It was specifically that unique aura.

Sometimes, an aura really can change a person.

Blushing, Mo Qingyi responded, "Weiwei, stop teasing me. By the way, when do you and Xunian plan to walk down the aisle? When it’s your turn to be the bride, you’ll definitely be more beautiful than me."

Weiwei insincerely replied, "I don’t want to marry him that soon! I have a sea of suitors! I still need to choose carefully."

"Really?" chuckled Mo Qingyi. "I don’t believe you."

After chatting for a while, Weiwei turned her attention to Chu Jin, "Sister-in-law Nine, is it a boy or a girl in your belly?" The fact that Chu Jin was expecting fraternal twins had not been disclosed to the public, so hardly anyone knew yet.

Chu Jin, with a slight smile, teased, "Take a guess."

Weiwei stroked her chin, eyeing Chu Jin’s belly thoughtfully, "I guess it must be a boy. I’ve heard that bellies with a boy are round, and if it’s a girl, then the belly is pointed. Sister-in-law Nine, your belly is round, I bet ten bucks it’s a boy!"

Chu Jin just smiled in response without a word.

Mo Qingyi then spoke, "You guessed it half right."

"Half?" Weiwei’s eyes widened incredulously, barely able to process the information, "Qingqing, do you mean Sister-in-law Nine is carrying fraternal twins?" Weiwei was shocked by her own thought!

The chances of having twins were small enough, but for Chu Jin to be carrying fraternal twins?

If that were truly the case, then she was incredibly lucky! That was like striking it rich!

"That’s right, you’re very clever," nodded Mo Qingyi with a laugh.

"This is just too amazing!" Weiwei walked over to Chu Jin and asked nervously, "Sister-in-law Nine, may I touch your belly? It’s my first time meeting someone carrying fraternal twins!"

Chu Jin nodded slightly, the dimples at the corners of her mouth shallow, "Of course you can."

Weiwei carefully touched Chu Jin’s belly, "No wonder Sister-in-law Nine’s belly is so big, it’s because of the fraternal twins. Speaking of which, Sister-in-law Nine, have you picked names for the babies yet?"

"Not yet, it’s not urgent, their grandmother is already on it," said Chu Jin with a light smile.

"Brother Nine must be so happy. Now he’s got both a son and a daughter, his life is complete..." Weiwei looked on enviously. Everyone around her seemed to be either pregnant or getting married,

And it was almost getting the better of Weiwei.

Whenever this woman saw wedding dresses and pregnant women, she could hardly control herself.

"Jin brother, can I ask you a question?" Weiwei looked up at Chu Jin with a face full of curiosity.

"Mm," Chu Jin nodded slightly, "Go ahead."

Weiwei scanned the room, noticing that it was full of women, she felt confident enough to boldly ask, "Sister-in-law Nine, what’s the secret to having twins?"

The others perked up their ears, afraid of missing anything.

Even Mo Qingyi was paying close attention.

Chu Jin gently patted Weiwei’s arm and teased, "What nonsense are you saying? There are no secrets to this!"

Laughing, Weiwei squinted her eyes playfully, "Really, Sister-in-law Nine? You must not hide anything from us."

Just then, the door that had been closed was pushed open once more.

A woman in a down jacket walked in from outside, her long hair held up high, her features delicate and refined.

Upon seeing the newcomer, Chu Jin immediately stood up with a smile, eagerly saying, "Sister!"

The person was Ding Siyu.

After two years, Ding Siyu had changed a lot; she had become more beautiful and more confident.

"Jin." Ding Siyu hugged Chu Jin tightly.

"Siyu Sister." Mo Qingyi also walked over.

Because of Chu Jin, Mo Qingyi had always followed behind, calling Ding Siyu sister.

However, since they moved to the Superpower World, Mo Qingyi hadn’t seen Ding Siyu again. Today, being able to see Ding Siyu in such circumstances was a big surprise for both Mo Qingyi and Chu Jin.

Ding Siyu also hugged Mo Qingyi, "Qingyi, happy marriage."

"Thank you, Siyu Sister." Mo Qingyi was very happy that Ding Siyu could attend her wedding and was even a bit moved.

Mo Qingyi quickly returned to her seat to do her makeup.

Chu Jin then introduced, "Sister, this is Zhou Xunian’s girlfriend, Weiwei. Weiwei, this is my sister, Ding Siyu."

Ding Siyu extended her hand to Weiwei very politely, "Hello, Weiwei."

"Hello, Siyu Sister," Weiwei followed Mo Qingyi in calling.

"Jin, I didn’t expect that after two years, you’re going to be a mom. Congratulations," Ding Siyu said to Chu Jin with sincere best wishes, her eyes revealing a hint of envy.

Actually, she liked children a lot too.

Chu Jin smiled lightly, "When are you and brother-in-law planning to have one? You should hurry up while you’re still young. Otherwise, having babies when you’re older is going to be tough."

What Chu Jin said was the honest truth.

Once a woman reaches thirty, there are certain risks associated with giving birth.

By that time, one would be called an older pregnant woman.

Hearing this, a glint seemed to flash in Ding Siyu’s eyes as she said, "There’s no rush to have kids. Han Zixiu still hasn’t settled down, and I don’t want the child to be affected by anything in the future."

Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Really? I think brother-in-law has truly reformed a long time ago. Is there some misunderstanding between you two?"

Han Zixiu did have a bit of a roving eye before and was rumored with many female celebrities, but ever since he married Ding Siyu, he had restrained himself a lot and hadn’t caused any more scandals. And one could see from his eyes that he really liked Ding Siyu a lot.

It was hard to imagine that after two years, there had been no concrete progress between Han Zixiu and Ding Siyu.

"Sigh, let’s not talk about him! He just makes me angry," Ding Siyu frowned slightly.

It was evident that in these two years, Ding Siyu had changed a lot.

Before, she was submissive like a little white bunny in front of Han Zixiu.

Now...

However, this was also not a good thing for Ding Siyu.

After all, if a woman is suppressed by a man, she won’t have much standing in family life later on.

It’s better for a woman to be strong.

Chu Jin smiled faintly, "There are bound to be bumps along the road between husband and wife, it’s normal. By the way, sister, where have you guys been these two years? I have been to the mundane world but didn’t find you."

Chu Jin had previously sought out Ding Siyu and also left messages through chat tools, but Ding Siyu never replied.

Chu Jin almost went to the police, but later, Mo Zhixuan said they were fine and that they had just disappeared for a while, so there was no need to call the police.

Ding Siyu gave Chu Jin a serious look and said, "Jin, you might not believe it if I tell you, but I was taken by Han Zixiu to hibernate."

"Hibernate?" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, "Only cold-blooded animals hibernate. Could it be that brother-in-law is one?"

Ding Siyu nodded, "Smart, not only is Han Zixiu a cold-blooded animal, but he’s also a very twisted one!"

Hearing this, Mo Qingyi, reminded of a novel she had read recently, joked with a smile, "Siyu Sister, among all cold-blooded animals, only snakes are the most twisted! Brother-in-law isn’t a snake, is he?"

Mo Qingyi was just making a joke.

But Ding Siyu was very shocked as she said, "Qingyi, congratulations, you got it right."

Han Zixiu indeed... was actually a snake.

This also explained why Han Zixiu had so many scandals before.

Chu Jin and Mo Qingyi didn’t take Ding Siyu’s words seriously, but Weiwei asked, "Qingyi, why are snakes the most twisted among cold-blooded animals?" Unlike Mo Qingyi, Weiwei didn’t read much fiction.

Mo Qingyi looked up at Weiwei, smiled meaningfully, and then whispered a few words into Weiwei’s ear.
