Chapter 1661: Jiang Xiaosi’s Turbulent Road to a Second Child (2)

After this incident, Jiang Chengsi seemed less urgent about having a second child. He felt it was okay to let it go naturally, but whenever he saw Tang Wan’s slightly protruding belly, he couldn’t hide the envy in his eyes.

That day, as usual, they went to the old house for dinner, and Jiang Xiaowai drank a glass of Plum Wine, coughing and turning red.

"Dad, I want to try some too." Their Little Tuanzi, probably feeling it was something new, clamored to taste it.

Jiang Chengsi had long quit drinking but might sip a couple of drinks during family dinners.

Tonight’s wine was newly brewed by the Huo Family. He broke his rule and poured himself a glass, dipping his chopsticks to give their little girl a taste.

Seeing her stick out her tongue, she carefully tasted a sip.

Her face instantly scrunched up, and she hugged her cup, drinking water nonstop.

"Want more?" Sometimes, looking at their Little Tuanzi, Jiang Chengsi felt having her was enough. Actually, whether to have a second child didn’t matter.

The little girl shook her head vigorously, her face red, feeling the sting on her tongue.

When leaving the Jiang Family, Si Qingxiao was responsible for driving, with Jiang Chengsi sitting in the back seat. Their little girl lay asleep in his arms.

"She played wild with Sese today." Si Qingxiao smiled, "They only have one child, no matter how many toys we buy for her, it won’t match having a little brother or sister to play with." "Tomorrow, brother and sister-in-law invited us for dinner at their home, don’t forget."

"I remember." Jiang Chengsi wrapped his daughter with his coat, lowered his head, and gently adjusted her hair.

...

Back home, Si Yushan and You Yunzhi were still watching TV in the living room.

"Dad, Mom, why aren’t you asleep yet?" Si Qingxiao asked.

"We were just about to sleep, is the child asleep?" You Yunzhi took over the granddaughter from Jiang Chengsi, "I’ll take care of her, you should rest early, Chengsi has work tomorrow."

Without the child home, Si Yushan and his wife couldn’t sleep; they weren’t watching TV but waiting for them. With their help in taking care of the daughter, Jiang Chengsi and Si Qingxiao went back to their room.

Someone drank some Plum Wine tonight, so he was a bit Meng Lang, and as soon as he entered the room, he hugged Si Qingxiao from behind.

"Xiaoxiao..."

"Don’t make trouble, it’s late." It was over an hour’s drive from the Jiang Family to East City, and it was close to eleven o’clock.

"I know." Jiang Chengsi’s chin rested at her neck, "I just wanted to hug you, counting the days, you should come by these days."

Jiang Chengsi had always roughly remembered Si Qingxiao’s cycle days. With the preparation for pregnancy over the past few months, he remembered it quite clearly. During these times, Si Qingxiao’s mood tended to be bad and inexplicably irritable, so Jiang Chengsi had to be extra careful.

"You should shower first." Jiang Chengsi turned and kissed her cheeks.

Si Qingxiao came out of the shower to find Jiang Chengsi sitting at the desk, working on his computer, "Working so late?"

"I remembered something urgent, you should sleep, does the computer disturb you? If so, I’ll go to the study."

"No, you go ahead."

Si Qingxiao lay down on the bed, watching her phone before falling into a deep sleep. Jiang Chengsi got up to tuck in her blanket and continued working, blaming those two sips of wine that made him excited rather than sleepy.

Thinking about tomorrow’s visit to Jiang Shiyi’s house, he decided to finish some work in advance.

Around midnight, Si Qingxiao suddenly tossed and turned in bed, and Jiang Chengsi, frowning, checked on her, "Xiaoxiao? What’s wrong?"

"My stomach feels a bit uncomfortable."

"Is it that time?" Jiang Chengsi knew her period was around these days, instinctively thinking her period started, "I’ll go downstairs to make you some brown sugar water."

When he returned with the brown sugar water, Si Qingxiao was already in the bathroom. He didn’t think much of it, but since Si Qingxiao took too long, he asked, "Xiaoxiao? Do you need help?"

"Fourth Brother."

"Hmm?" Jiang Chengsi held the hot cup of brown sugar water outside the bathroom, blowing the steam because it was too hot to drink.

"You need to buy something for me."

"Is it that we don’t have ’that’ at home?" Jiang Chengsi assumed she wanted him to buy her sanitary items.

"I might need... a pregnancy test kit."

Jiang Chengsi was holding the steaming cup of brown sugar water, and her words startled him. His hand shook, spilling hot water onto his hand and dropping the cup on the floor.

"What happened?" Si Qingxiao frowned.

"N-nothing, wait a minute." Concerned she might accidentally step on the spilled water and fall, he quickly cleaned the floor and was about to rush out when he bumped into Si Yushan.

Middle of the night and the sound of the cup hitting the floor was heard by them. Seeing Jiang Chengsi in a hurry, Si Yushan naturally asked, "What’s going on?"

"I’m just heading out to buy something."

Si Yushan paused, then hurriedly followed, "You drank tonight, are you sure you can drive? What do you need to buy urgently?"

"I..." Jiang Chengsi realized he drank at the old house, "Xiaoxiao might be pregnant, I need to buy a pregnancy test kit."

Si Yushan stood there, stunned for a few seconds.

Then, they quickly set off together...

Si Yushan drove for over ten minutes before finding a 24-hour pharmacy. Jiang Chengsi jumped from the car, grabbing everything the store clerk recommended, and they quickly returned home.

On the way back, the old father and the husband seemed to be extraordinarily nervous, not speaking.

Once home, they hurriedly handed the items to Si Qingxiao.

Si Qingxiao, who wasn’t pregnant for the first time, had already felt sleepy in recent days, along with dull pain in her lower abdomen. She thought they were signs of her period coming and recently paid extra attention to her diet and staying warm. But tonight felt different, possibly due to pregnancy.

Since deciding to have a child, they hadn’t taken preventive measures, and she was vigilant about any bodily changes.

She wasn’t sure if it was her period or actual pregnancy. To be cautious, she asked Jiang Chengsi to buy a pregnancy test kit, which dragged both his father and You Yunzhi into the fold.

As she entered the bathroom with the kit, the three outside were waiting, giving her immense pressure.

When she saw the test results, she paused for a few seconds, honestly...

It was rather sudden!

When Si Qingxiao came out, Si Yushan tried to step forward, but Jiang Chengsi quickly squeezed him aside.

Si Yushan: "..."

Rascal!

"How is it?" Jiang Chengsi asked eagerly.

Si Qingxiao smiled at him, saying everything without needing words.

Si Yushan was delighted inside; the joy of becoming a grandfather drowned out earlier displeasure, leaving him uninterested in arguing with Jiang Chengsi.

Jiang Chengsi was experiencing overwhelming excitement. Since he couldn’t sleep, he stayed awake all night, first notifying the old lady and then calling Qi Zeyan.

Qi Zeyan nearly exploded in anger, "Why disturb me at this hour? It’s not my wife who’s pregnant. During the day, I might’ve congratulated you, but at one in the morning? Are you crazy?"

"Whose call is it?" Ruan Mengxi was also woken up.

"An idiot." Qi Zeyan cuddled her, "Go back to sleep."

...

Si Qingxiao felt Jiang Chengsi was really exaggerating. Worried he’d disturb her rest, she sent him to the study.

Jiang Chengsi happily carried his pillow away, staying in the study with his phone. Jiang Yanting and Huo Qinqi ignored him, while his brother seemed indifferent, but Jiang Jinsang chatted with him for a while.

He started envisioning having another daughter, imagining what it would be like with two little sweethearts at home.

**

The next day, they were supposed to visit Jiang Shiyi’s home, but plans changed, and they brought Si Qingxiao to the hospital for a checkup. Although less than a month pregnant, the prospective father was overjoyed, working extra hard and rushing home after work to accompany his wife.

The Jiang Family was, of course, delighted, especially the old lady, who would have visited the Si Family daily if not for her health issues.

Jiang Jinsang was speechless:

"He’s not the first to have a second child; why so excited?"

Since Si Qingxiao’s pregnancy, Jiang Chengsi, usually carefree, became even more hyper, a fact that everyone tolerated for long. Then during Si Qingxiao’s second checkup, the doctor informed them...

"The ultrasound shows two gestational sacs, suggesting twins."

Jiang Chengsi became even more ecstatic, as if he had gained the whole world.
