Chapter 828: 829, triplets, Bei Bei goes missing (First update)

"Jin, Qingyi!" Ding Siyu waved her hand toward Mo Qingyi and Chu Jin, lifting her skirt, and ran over to them.

"Sister."

"Siyu."

Chu Jin and Mo Qingyi responded.

Meanwhile, Han Zixiu, who was deep in conversation with someone else, saw Ding Siyu and excused himself with an "I’m sorry" before hurrying over to her.

"Siyu, be careful. Why are you running so fast? Watch out not to fall!" Han Zixiu gripped Ding Siyu’s wrist, his voice filled with concern.

"Han Zixiu, could you be any more annoying!" Ding Siyu shook off Han Zixiu’s hand, her face full of disgust, "I’m not a three-year-old child anymore. Can you not keep following me around!"

Han Zixiu was indeed very annoying.

Even though he had been somewhat of a playboy and a flirt in the past.

But he had changed a great deal by now.

He always put Ding Siyu first in everything.

"Am I not just worried about you?" Han Zixiu said with a smile, "Don’t be angry now, it’s my fault. Just be careful not to get upset for the baby’s sake." As he spoke, he gently caressed Ding Siyu’s belly, his eyes brimming with concern.

Ever since Mo Zhixuan announced that Chu Jin was pregnant with twins, Han Zixiu had been working tirelessly on a plan to conceive, and after much effort, he had finally achieved some results.

Hearing this, both Chu Jin and Mo Qingyi were stunned.

No wonder Ding Siyu seemed to have gained some weight; she was pregnant!

"Sister, you’re pregnant?" Chu Jin looked at Ding Siyu in surprise.

Mo Qingyi too waited expectantly for Ding Siyu’s reply.

Ding Siyu nodded, "Yes, almost two months now."

"Siyu, you’re really pregnant?" Mo Qingyi gaped at Ding Siyu, as if she could fit an entire egg in her mouth.

No one expected that Ding Siyu was pregnant!

It was so sudden!

After all, before this, Ding Siyu had refused to have children.

And now, she was pregnant just like that!

It was as if it was all just for fun.

It was terrifying.

"Yeah, it’s true." Ding Siyu nodded seriously, her hand caressing her slightly rounded belly. She was wearing a loose dress, and if one didn’t look closely, it was impossible to tell that she was expecting.

"Sister, congratulations." Chu Jin looked at Ding Siyu with a smile.

"Thank you, Jin." Ding Siyu too was all smiles.

"Siyu, didn’t you say before that you weren’t in a hurry to have children? Wasn’t that a bit too quick?" Mo Qingyi looked at Ding Siyu, surprised, voicing the doubt in her heart.

Here by her side, pregnancies and childbirth were happening one after another.

It was making her feel quite awkward.

"It’s all Han Zixiu’s fault!" Ding Siyu glared at Han Zixiu, "If it wasn’t for him, why would I be walking around with this ’pot’? It’s inconvenient to do anything, and I have to watch what I eat. Jin, I’m almost depressed to death!"

Han Zixiu immediately apologized, "Wife, don’t be mad, it’s all my fault. I swear, this one child is enough..."

"You think I am going to have a second child for you?" Ding Siyu rolled her eyes at Han Zixiu.

Han Zixiu: "..." In front of others, can’t you save some face for me, my dear wife?

Chu Jin said with a smile, "Sister and brother-in-law are so affectionate. Sister, have you started taking folic acid yet?"

"What are you all chatting about here?" Mo Zhixuan and Duanmu Zhe came over.

"Sister is pregnant." Chu Jin lifted her gaze towards Mo Zhixuan, her eyes sparkling with joy.

Seeing Han Zixiu and Ding Siyu at this point in their lives, Chu Jin was genuinely happy for them.

Ding Siyu was going to be very happy from now on.

Although Han Zixiu had not been a good man in the past, he had now become a good husband.

"Congratulations, Sister," Mo Zhixuan looked at Ding Siyu, offering his sincere blessings.

"It’s triplets, actually," Han Zixiu butted in from the side, his smug eyes seemingly saying, "What’s so great about twins? I got triplets with one shot!"

Han Zixiu looked at Mo Zhixuan, puffing out his chest.

Finally, he had his moment to shine in front of Mo Zhixuan.

The feeling was good indeed.

Mo Zhixuan’s expression was unchanged as he looked at Ding Siyu and said, "Carrying multiples can be very tough. Sister, you need to take care of your health." What’s so special about having triplets.

Han Zixiu probably didn’t know that his good days had just begun.

The days of dietary restrictions are not easy to endure.

So, Mo Zhixuan didn’t feel an ounce of envy toward Han Zixiu.

He now had both a son and a daughter. His life was already complete.

Moreover, pregnancies with multiple babies are generally more strenuous. If Mo Zhixuan could choose again, he would definitely control the situation better and not let Chu Jin conceive twins.

Mo Zhixuan probably didn’t know that the matter of conceiving twins was not really something he could decide.

Ding Siyu politely said, "Zhixuan, that’s very thoughtful of you. Jin, you’ve married a good husband."

Chu Jin just smiled without speaking.

Mo Zhixuan was indeed very good, an undeniable fact.

Seeing Ding Siyu praise Mo Zhixuan right in front of him, Han Zixiu’s face nearly turned green, but he still maintained a look of ’I don’t mind at all’.

"Siyu, you’re really carrying triplets?" The expression on Mo Qingyi’s face was beyond surprise.

The surprises kept coming one after another.

Twins were already rare enough, but Ding Siyu’s pregnancy was with triplets.

Mo Qingyi had a bit of envy in her heart.

At the same time, she also marveled internally.

The people with the last name Ding really were not like ordinary men.

They produced triplets in one go.

However, what intrigued Mo Qingyi even more was whether there were three children or three eggs in Ding Siyu’s belly.

After all, snakes lay eggs.

But, that question was ultimately too difficult to ask out loud; one could only be secretly curious in their heart.

Perhaps, when Ding Siyu was about to give birth, the answer would come.

Ding Siyu nodded, "Yes, I went for a check-up recently and it was confirmed that it’s triplets." Mentioning this, Ding Siyu’s eyes were also filled with warmth.

As a first-time mother, she could feel her belly growing day by day, and she was extremely happy.

Having children was not something that could happen with just the man’s effort; it required the woman’s cooperation as well.

Ding Siyu was even more eager than Han Zixiu for the arrival of these three little lives.

Han Zixiu loved Ding Siyu very much.

The love Ding Siyu had for Han Zixiu was not less than the love he had for her.

These two people were just not good at expressing themselves.

"Siyu, you’re really blessed, congratulations to you," Mo Qingyi said as she touched Ding Siyu’s stomach with her hand, smiling, "and let me share some of your happiness."

Ding Siyu smiled, "Sure, I wish you and Duanmu Zhe will have your own children soon too."

Duanmu Zhe smiled shyly, "There’s no need to rush that, things will happen naturally." He didn’t want to put any pressure on Mo Qingyi; these things should just take their natural course.

Even if Mo Qingyi didn’t want children, he would agree with her.

After all, their family had no throne to inherit.

Duanmu Zhe did not have any traditional male chauvinism.

He respected Mo Qingyi very much.

"Exactly," Ding Siyu followed up, "You guys are still young, there’s no rush. Just enjoy a few more years."

Mo Qingyi grinned, "Yes, we’re not in a hurry." Seeing that Duanmu Zhe was not eager to have children, Mo Qingyi felt at ease.

She was still young; there would always be time for children someday.

"By the way, Siyu, has the doctor told you the genders of the babies?" Mo Qingyi looked at Ding Siyu and continued to ask.

It wasn’t because of gender preference; it was just curiosity.

Ding Siyu shook her head with a smile, "Not yet, I didn’t ask. I’ll find out after they’re born. Not knowing the answer actually makes it more mysterious."

"That’s true," Mo Qingyi nodded.

"Jin, have you decided on the baby’s name?" Ding Siyu looked towards Chu Jin and asked.

Mo Qingyi and the others were also quite curious, all looking in Chu Jin’s direction.

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, it’s decided. The name is Mo Jingxing, with the ’Jing’ from ’gazing upon a high mountain with respect, acting properly’."

The name was chosen by Elder Mrs. Mo.

She had put a lot of effort into choosing this name.

"The name is very nice; the elder lady has quite a knack for choosing names," Ding Siyu said with a smile.

Mo Jingxing, it sounded very grand.

Especially the phrase in front, ’gazing upon a high mountain with respect.’

"Yes," Chu Jin said with a gentle smile, "I like it a lot."

The group chatted idly together.

Suddenly, Old Madam Mo came hurrying over, holding Bao Bao, her expression extremely tense as she looked at Chu Jin and asked urgently, "Jin, have you seen Bei Bei?"

"Bei Bei?" Chu Jin’s brow furrowed slightly, "No, hasn’t Bei Bei been with you and my mom the whole time?"

There were many guests at the imperial palace today, and Chu Jin and Mo Zhixuan were busy greeting them. The two elderly people enjoyed being with the children, so Bao Bao and Bei Bei had been with Old Madam Mo and Zhao Yan the whole time.

Upon hearing this, Old Madam Mo’s face turned white as paper. She whispered, "Bei Bei... Bei Bei is missing."

Chu Jin’s heart skipped a beat, "Bei Bei is missing! How could she disappear?"

Mo Zhixuan’s expression tightened even more, "Mom, what happened?"

Everyone else was also full of tension.

How could such a small child just disappear?

Bao Bao, not knowing what had happened, reached out to be held by Chu Jin. Old Madam Mo seemed to have no strength left in her, and Chu Jin took Bao Bao, "Mom, don’t panic. Take your time and tell us what exactly happened. Where’s my mom? Could she have taken Bei Bei out to play?"

At times like this, Chu Jin had to remain calm.

She was the mother of the child; she couldn’t afford to be disordered, especially since there were so many guests present.

Old Madam Mo clutched the chair behind her, struggling to keep from collapsing to the ground.

"It wasn’t Little Yan, she doesn’t even know about this. Bei Bei fell asleep, so Little Yan and I took her up to the nursery on the upper floor. And just when I turned around to grab a little blanket, Bei Bei was gone..."

In just the blink of an eye, Bei Bei was gone...

Before Old Madam Mo could finish her sentence, Mo Zhixuan strode toward the nursery. His expression was unreadable, and the chill coming from him could freeze someone to death.

"Mo Zhixuan, don’t panic!" Han Zixiu straightened up and quickly followed Mo Zhixuan’s steps.

Han Zixiu and Mo Zhixuan usually just teased each other in day-to-day life, but when it was time to be serious, they were indeed serious.

Now that such an incident had occurred, Han Zixiu certainly couldn’t launch personal attacks on Mo Zhixuan.

Chu Jin couldn’t care about anything else and, holding Bao Bao, quickly turned and headed upstairs. Perhaps it was because she was too anxious, but her arms unconsciously tightened around Bao Bao.

Old Madam Mo, Mo Qingyi, Duanmu Zhe, and Ding Siyu also hurried to follow.

Bei Bei’s disappearance was no small matter!

Bei Bei was only three months old; she couldn’t have disappeared without reason. Under these circumstances, it was highly likely that someone had taken her away.

The imperial palace was heavily guarded, and it wouldn’t be easy for someone to take Bei Bei away.

However, today was the hundred-day feast, and the security during the daytime festivities was somewhat relaxed, which could have provided an opportunity for the culprit!

Upon arriving at the nursery, the little bed dedicated to Bei Bei was indeed empty.

Mo Zhixuan looked at Old Madam Mo and asked in a deep voice, "Mom, when did you notice that Bei Bei was missing?"

Old Madam Mo thought for a moment, then said, "No more than fifteen minutes, before and after!"

Mo Zhixuan immediately turned to Han Zixiu and said in a low tone, "Lock down every exit of the imperial palace right now! Not even a fly should be allowed out!"

"Alright, I’ll go do that immediately," Han Zixiu said and turned to head outside.

Chu Jin handed Bao Bao to Mo Qingyi, then opened her computer to track Bei Bei’s location.

Just in case, Chu Jin had installed a tracking device on the bracelet worn by Bei Bei.

Bao Bao, who normally resisted Mo Qingyi, now seemed to understand the seriousness of the situation, being held in Mo Qingyi’s arms without crying or fussing, very well-behaved, like a little adult, very sensible.
