Chapter 740: 726, Babyâs Gender Reveal (3)_1 Chapter 740: 726, Babyâs Gender Reveal (3)_1 Generally speaking, hospitals usually do not reveal the sex of the baby to the expecting motherâs family in advance. However, in this private hospital and considering the particular circumstances of this couple, revealing the sex to them would be a must since theyâve asked.
âIs it a little princess?â Quan Jingwu asked eagerly.
Jian Qing caught the worry at the corner of his eye, her lips pulling into a thin smile. She also waited for Director Wanâs response.
Meeting their expectant gazes, Director Wan began to feel the pressure.
With a considerable effort, she managed to muster her voice, âItâs two baby boys. Congratulations to you both.â
For a wealthy aristocratic family like theirs, a baby boy would usually be desirable, wouldnât it?
At her words, both Jian Qing and Quan Jingwu seemed uncharacteristically taken aback, especially Quan Jingwu with a stiff smile.
âWhat did you just say? Repeat that.â
Director Wan looked at him, thinking he had been overcome with happiness, repeated it once more, âMrs. Quan is expecting twin boys.â
Click clack, click clack.
The world seemingly crumbled around Quan Jingwu, his heart shattered like glass.
As his violet eyes closed in, he turned his gaze to Jian Qingâs pregnant belly, his mood plummeted, and he couldnât pull himself back up.
Two baby boys?
No little angel for him.
Jian Qing sat next to him and lifted her head. She could almost see the mushroom cloud gathering over his head. Biting her lip, she nearly let a giggle slip.
Poor Jingwu. He wasnât going to have his little princess.
Quan Jingwu kept eyeing Director Wan, asking once more in disbelief, âAre you sure they are both boys? There are no little princesses?â
Eventually, Director Wan appeared to understand somewhat.
It turned out that in front of her this Michelin-starred gentleman was hoping for a little princess rather than a baby boy.
This was entirely contrary to the typical desires of the wealthy class who would generally be overjoyed to find out their child-to-be is a boy.
Director Wan wiped cold sweat off her forehead and patiently replied, âIndeed, it is a pair of boys. Though they are only just over four months old, barring any unexpected changes, they are likely to be boys.â
Although the hospital had the most advanced equipment, it could not always guarantee absolute accuracy. There had been previous incidents where expecting mothers were told they were expecting twin boys, and it turned out they had mixed-sex twins.
Especially where clientele of such high stature was involved, she couldnât offer an absolute answer, lest complications arise down the line.
âWhat do you mean by âunless something unexpected happensâ? I want a definitive answer,â Quan Jingwu frowned, unhappy with the vague response.
The matter affected his little angel. How could he be treated with such nonchalance?
âJingwu, donât scare Director Wan,â Jian Qing took his hand and quietly reassured him.
Director Wan heard this and shot a grateful look towards Jian Qing.
She was an old woman. Her heart couldnât stand any startle.
âCEO Quan, you didnât have a princess this time, but both you and your wife are still young, Iâm sure youâll have one in the future,â she replied carefully.
Though put delicately, the meaning was the same: he was not getting his little angel.
Quan Jingwu cast his gaze downward, his heart freezing cold.
No little princess!
There was no little princess.
How could there not be a little princess?
âJingwu, having two boys isnât bad at all, especially cute ones who look like you,â Jian Qing looked at his âitâs the end of the worldâ face and tried to soothe him with a soft chuckle but under her breath.
Her beloved Jingwu probably wasnât going to eat tonight.
Quan Jingwu remained silent, realizing his little angel was not there in Jian Qingâs womb.
After a moment, he helped her get up, turning to her with cold indifference, âMy love, letâs go back.â
Jian Qing looked at him with suspicion. Did he overreact?
After thanking Director Wan, Quan Jingwu departed the hospital with Jian Qing in tow.
Throughout the journey, Jian Qing would look at Quan Jingwu, wanting to say something but deciding not to at the last second. When she noticed him driving, she figured it was best not to upset him any further.
She looked down, a faint smile surfacing in the unseen corners of her mouth.
Two little princes, Mingxuan and the rest actually predicted it accurately.
Upon reaching their mansion, as soon as the two of them entered the living room, they found Rhee and some others enjoying some tea.
They had known that Jian Qing was going for an antenatal checkup today. Instead of leaving the house, Rhee and the others had been anxiously waiting in the living room for their call.
But the call never came, and the people they were waiting for had returned.
Quan Jingwu helped Jian Qing to sit, and the heavy look on his face left Rhee and the others in stunned silence.
Why did it seem like their ancestor was in a bad mood?
Everyoneâs first thought was that there was a problem uncovered during the antenatal checkup. Their gazes shifted to Jian Qingâs growing belly.
âLittle Qingqing, what happened?â Rhee asked.
Jian Qing glanced at Quan Jingwu, then shook her head at the others.
Her head shake made everyone even more nervous.
Quan Jingwu took out his phone and dialed Shen Haoâs number.
âShen Hao, arrange the most advanced antenatal equipment immediately. Right away,â he ordered with grim firmness.
âAlso, find me the best gynecologist in China.â
On the other end of the line, Shen Hao was caught off guard. Hearing the word âantenatal,â he assumed Jian Qing was in trouble and rushed to respond, âI understand, Iâll get right on it.â
Upon hearing Quan Jingwuâs words, everyone turned their worried gaze towards Jian Qing. Rhee was the first to lose his patience, âLittle Qingqing, are you feeling unwell, or was there a problem with the antenatal check-up?â
Mrs. Quan added, âYeah, why is Jingwu calling gynecologists and antenatal equipment? Is something wrong with the babies?â
Jian Qing saw the worry in everyoneâs eyes and quickly explained, âNo, neither I nor the babies have any issues. Director Wan just revealed the gender of the babies, and Jingwu doesnât believe it.â
Her beloved Jingwu was so adorable that she could barely contain her laughter. What was she going to do?
Upon hearing that it was about the gender of the babies, everyone got excited.
âIs it a boy or a girl?â
Quan Mingxuan looked at Quan Jingwuâs stern face and couldnât help gloat, âLooking at Jingwuâs expression, the result must be unsatisfactory for him.â
âI bet five bags of spicy noodles, theyâre two little princes.â
If not, Jingwuâs face would not be like this. If there was a little princess, he wouldnât be able to hide his beaming smile. He would probably be ecstatically floating around the room.
âIs it two little Princes?â
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Quan Jingwu and Jian Qing. Jian Qing nodded, âAccording to Director Wan, it is indeed a pair of boys.â
Before she could finish, Quan Mingxuan burst out laughing.
âHa ha ha!â
Oh my gosh, Jingwu didnât get little princess. He must be heartbroken.
To Rhee and the othersâ surprise, Quan Mingxuanâs prediction had really come true; it was indeed twin boys.
Looking at Quan Jingwuâs face, everyone felt a chill rising from their backs.
Jian Qing looked at Quan Mingxuan, who was laughing heartily across, then looked at Quan Jingwu. In her heart, she silently prayed for Mingxuan for a moment.
Suddenly, Quan Jingwu stood up. Everyone moved aside subconsciously. His target was Quan Mingxuan.
The latter, however, was laughing so hard, he was laying on the couch, completely oblivious to the danger coming his way.
Poor boy!
His laughter halting, a shadow fell from above, blocking his line of sight.
He looked up and locked eyes with a pair of deeply cold eyes.
UhâŠ
He might have been too overjoyed.
The sudden silence made him sit upright instantly. Both his hands placed neatly on his knees, he now looked like an exemplary student.
