“What’s wrong? What if someone comes later?” Gu Jia Ning looked around. At this time, at this place, people passed by at any time.
In this era, outside, even legitimate couples couldn't hold hands, hug, or kiss casually, otherwise they would be said to have a problem with their conduct.
Sheng Ze Xi snorted, seeming somewhat defiant: “I’m not afraid.”
Everyone knows that he, Sheng Ze Xi, is a troublemaker in the Northwest Military Region. Whoever wants to trouble him is asking for trouble.
Actually, Sheng Ze Xi was just inexplicably anxious.
Just now, his attention was all on Gu Jia Ning. He saw Ningning's gaze; the emotions in it were very complex—sadness, doubt, confusion…
After that, it gave Sheng Ze Xi the feeling that she didn’t seem to belong to this world, always with the illusion that she might fly away like a fairy.
At that moment, Sheng Ze Xi’s heart panicked, regardless of anything.
Instinctively, he reached out and held her in his arms, holding her tightly. It seemed that only in this way, feeling her warmth in his arms, could he be sure that she was truly by his side.
Sheng Ze Xi couldn’t help but recall a dream he had recently. In the dream, Ningning didn’t agree to his blind date but married Wen Zhuqing.
When he woke up from that dream, Sheng Ze Xi was scared, holding Gu Jia Ning in his arms for a long time before the uneasiness in his heart slightly dissipated.
“Alright, let’s hurry to the Grand Auditorium. I want to sit in the front,” Gu Jia Ning patted his arm.
Sheng Ze Xi reluctantly let go of her hand, took Gu Jia Ning’s hand again, and went to the Grand Auditorium.
As they walked, they met Zhang Shuwan’s family of three, and Jiang Baihe and Chai Jianguo as a couple. After that, more and more people came, all heading towards the Grand Auditorium. The Northwest Military Region, which had been quiet because of the heavy snow sealing the mountains, was much livelier on this New Year's Eve because of the Art Troupe's performance, and even the temperature didn't seem so low.
Gu Jia Ning looked at Zhang Shuwan and Jiang Baihe, calculating the time.
It has been more than a month since Jiang Baihe was cured by her, but Gu Jia Ning wasn’t sure if she was pregnant.
As for Sister Shuwan…
Sister Shuwan said she took the Twin Boy Pills that day, and it's been more than a month now.
She's probably pregnant now, but she may not know it yet.
“I’ll go talk to Sister Shuwan.” Saying this, Gu Jia Ning walked to Zhang Shuwan.
As soon as Zhang Shuwan saw her, her eyes lit up, and Guo Guo also came over to cling to her.
“Your Battalion Commander Sheng finally let you come over,” Zhang Shuwan joked.
She saw Battalion Commander Sheng holding Gu Jia Ning's hand tightly, standing beside her like a guardian deity.
It seemed like they were about to have a world for two, and no one else dared to interrupt.
Gu Jia Ning thought of Sheng Ze Xi's strong possessiveness and couldn't help but smile. “Sister Shuwan, don’t tease me. I have something to ask you.”
“What is it?”
Gu Jia Ning leaned over, and Lin Xing thoughtfully went to talk to Sheng Ze Xi beside them.
Gu Jia Ning quietly asked, “Did you have your period this month?”
Which one? Which one?
Zhang Shuwan was puzzled for a moment, but she quickly reacted.
Yes, how could she forget? Her period, which should have started two days ago, hadn’t come yet.
These days, in order to have a good New Year, Zhang Shuwan had been busy, so she had forgotten for a while.
If Gu Jia Ning hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have remembered when.
She quickly remembered the pill Gu Jia Ning gave her to help her get pregnant, and then thought about her missing period.
Zhang Shuwan, who already had a child, immediately reacted.
Her heart beat faster, “Jia Ning, do you mean, I might, might…”
“I think it’s almost certain.” Gu Jia Ning gave her an almost 100% certain answer.
“Really?!” Zhang Shuwan was so excited she almost shouted, but she managed to control herself.
“You can observe for a while longer. In about half a month, you’ll be able to find out.” Gu Jia Ning didn’t suggest Zhang Shuwan have a blood test; it wouldn't make much difference.
Right, Gu Jia Ning suddenly remembered that her eyes could scan.
So she immediately looked at Zhang Shuwan and mentally activated the scanner in her eyes.
Soon, the scanner gave the results.
Zhang Shuwan was indeed pregnant, and it was twins, for sure.
“Okay, Jia Ning, I understand. I’ll observe carefully, and if it’s good news, I’ll tell you.”
“Okay.”
When Gu Jia Ning left and returned to Sheng Ze Xi, Lin Xing came over, held Guo Guo, looked at his wife, who seemed a little dazed and had a hint of excitement between her brows, and asked, “What’s wrong? What did Comrade Gu tell you?”
Zhang Shuwan instinctively wanted to say something, but seeing so many people around, she held back.
“I’ll tell you tonight when we get back home. It’s good news.”
Lin Xing: Alright.
Here, Gu Jia Ning used the scanner to scan Jiang Baihe in front of her. When she saw that the latter was also pregnant, she was even happier.
She hesitated whether to remind Jiang Baihe, but then dismissed the idea.
Some surprises are better when discovered on one's own; it might be more exciting and joyful.
Being told by someone else might lessen the impact.
Soon, the group arrived at the Grand Auditorium.
In the Grand Auditorium, there were rows of seats. The first couple of rows were for the leaders; the back seats were open seating.
Thinking that Gu Jia Ning wanted to sit closer to the front, Sheng Ze Xi chose seats in the fourth row, so they wouldn’t face the leaders but would still be relatively close to the stage.
Zhang Shuwan also quickly pulled her husband and Guo Guo to sit next to Gu Jia Ning and her husband.
There were about ten minutes left before the performance began, and many people were arriving at this time.
Gu Jia Ning was already beautiful; now, after the Guose Tianxiang Pill's transformation, she was even more perfect.
In addition, she had dressed up carefully tonight. Now, as soon as she entered the Grand Auditorium, she appeared even more dazzling and eye-catching under the lights.
In the Military Region, the most numerous were undoubtedly the single soldiers.
These young men, seeing Gu Jia Ning, almost couldn’t move their feet. Some were completely stunned, and some even bumped into each other.
The single soldier brothers' hearts beat faster. Their initial excitement stopped abruptly when they saw Sheng Ze Xi beside the beauty. Their budding feelings withered, especially when they learned that the beauty was Battalion Commander Sheng's wife; their hearts were instantly shattered.
Sheng Ze Xi’s reputation as a troublemaker and sharp-tongued person in the Northwest Military Region is known to everyone. Even more so, he was the Military King for several consecutive years, so strong that no one dared to provoke him.
Now that this beauty is his wife, how dare they have any other thoughts?
