Chapter 1031 - 28: Twins

Chapter 1031: Chapter 28: Twins

Le Zhengsheng took Gu Xiaoning and boarded the special plane, flying straight out.

However, they were heading back to Qiupu. Because this plane was borrowed from Lu Yuxuan.

Also, since Le Zhengsheng was currently in a "demotion" period, he couldn’t just swagger back openly.

All the way, Gu Xiaoning slept. She was pregnant, so it wasn’t surprising.

When they arrived in Qiupu, she still hadn’t woken up.

"Director..." Liao Jingqing came in to call them, "Time to get off the plane."

"Shh." Le Zhengsheng made a gesture at him, "Don’t shout..."

If he woke Ningning up, he’d be on his case.

Le Zhengsheng took a blanket, wrapped Gu Xiaoning in it, and carried her off the plane. He walked very carefully, step by step. Gu Xiaoning had a big heart—she still didn’t wake up like this. She even burrowed further into his arms, pressing her face against his chest.

When he stepped into the entryway, he saw that Yu Sangwan was there too.

"Asheng..."

Yu Sangwan was stunned, looking like she had something to say but hesitated.

"Shh." Le Zhengsheng was nervous as hell, lifting his chin and pointing upstairs.

Meaning, he had to send Gu Xiaoning up to sleep first.

Seeing him this nervous, Yu Sangwan couldn’t bring herself to say anything.

Le Zhengsheng carefully carried Gu Xiaoning back to the bedroom. After a while, he came back downstairs.

In the living room, Yu Sangwan and Pei Pei were talking.

Le Zhengsheng rolled up his sleeves and walked over, casually picking up an apple on the table and taking a bite.

"Tastes great, really sweet." Le Zhengsheng grinned.

Pei Pei rolled her eyes and mercilessly exposed him. "This one actually isn’t sweet at all... are you stupid?"

"Uh?" Le Zhengsheng froze for a second. "Really? No way, I think it’s very sweet... Right, Wanwan, how come you’re here? To see your little brother-in-law, or to see your tragic bestie? Your bestie is about to be driven crazy by your little brother-in-law. Hahaha..."

"Tsk!"

Pei Pei glared. "You itching for a beating or what?"

"Hehe." Le Zhengsheng was in a great mood. "You’re feeling all worked up, huh! As an old friend of many years, I’ll let you hit me as much as you want... go ahead, be my guest."

"This guy." Pei Pei looked over at Yu Sangwan. "He must’ve taken the wrong meds!"

Yu Sangwan couldn’t help laughing and crying. "Do you even need to ask? Can’t you tell? He’s made up with Ningning, he’s gloating."

"Pfft!" Pei Pei sneered. "Nothing I hate more than this look of a petty man getting his way!"

"Hahaha..." Le Zhengsheng burst out laughing, unable to hold back from sharing. "Wanwan, our Ningning... she’s really a treasure! Among women, she’s the cutest of them all."

"Oh?" Pei Pei held back her laughter and teased her sourly. "Is that so? Ahem, this line... you used to say it to Wanwan too."

"Uh?" Le Zhengsheng paused, but his expression stayed calm. "Really? Then you must’ve remembered wrong, that wasn’t me."

"Hey!" Pei Pei laughed and cursed him. "You fickle thing, forgotten what a wreck you were chasing after Wanwan back then? Ah, but in the end, young and pretty Gu Xiaoning is better, right?"

"Yeah!"

Le Zhengsheng nodded without the slightest politeness. "I just like them young and pretty like her! Hahaha..."

They’d been friends for so many years that they had no scruples about what they said to each other.

"Wanwan, Peipei!" Le Zhengsheng stood up, too excited. "Me—! I’m gonna be a dad!"

"Tch." Pei Pei gave him a side-eye. "Who doesn’t know that already? You’re so full of yourself! Get lost!"

"Haha." Le Zhengsheng laughed wildly. "Other people, it’s ’two kids in three years,’ but me, it’s three kids in three years! Tell me, isn’t my wife amazing!"

Pei Pei and Yu Sangwan looked at each other and cried out at the same time.

"Ningning’s having twins!"

"Twins?"

"Mm!" Le Zhengsheng’s eyes narrowed in a smile, his beautiful phoenix eyes curving. "Well? Isn’t that super awesome! I mean, how is she just this lovable!"

Yu Sangwan and the others were happy for him too. "That’s really great!"

"You little punk!" Pei Pei pursed her lips, but couldn’t help smiling. "Not bad! A double blast! Congratulations!"

"Hehe, thanks, thanks."

Le Zhengsheng took the last bite of his apple, then lifted his hand and tossed the core toward the trash can.

He missed, and it fell right on someone’s... instep.

Uh...

Le Zhengsheng looked up and his face changed immediately. He instinctively straightened up. "Mr. President."

"Heh." Lu Jinxuan curled his lips, narrowing his eyes slightly. "Who’s this? Are my old eyes failing me? Yuxuan, how come I’m seeing Director Le Zheng here?"

"Uh..." Lu Yuxuan pouted a bit and kept silent.

"Hehe." Le Zhengsheng forced a dry laugh. "Mr. President, you’re in your prime, what’s this about old?"

"Flattering me?" Lu Jinxuan glared at him. "You think that works on me?"

Le Zhengsheng immediately put away his smile and straightened his face. "It doesn’t."

"Speak!" Lu Jinxuan growled. "Why are you here? What about your duties? The task I gave you, have you finished it?"

"No!" Le Zhengsheng answered, firm and decisive.

"Pfft—" Pei Pei couldn’t hold back her laughter.

Yu Sangwan grabbed her. "Alright, let’s go! Let them talk business!"

"Oh."

...

Once the two women were gone, who said men get serious when they’re together?

Lu Jinxuan clicked his tongue and looked at his younger brother. "Tsk tsk tsk! Look at this useless thing that you are! I taught you both the same methods—his wife is already carrying two! And you? You haven’t hit the mark even once! Useless!"

"Haha."

Le Zhengsheng laughed out loud. "Thank you, thank you for the compliment, Mr. President."

Then he winked at Lu Yuxuan. "Hey! Bro, you just don’t have it, huh? It’s been this long and still no news?"

"Hey!" Lu Yuxuan frowned, rushed up, grabbed Le Zhengsheng by the collar, and raised his fist. "You punk, what are you showing off to me for! If I’d known you’d be like this, I wouldn’t have lent you the plane! I should’ve just let you die by the roadside back then!"

"Heh heh."

At this point, all Le Zhengsheng could do was laugh.

"My bad, my bad, your buddy’s just this awesome! A double blast!"

Lu Jinxuan looked at Le Zhengsheng and suddenly raised his fist toward him.

Le Zhengsheng understood and raised his hand at the same time, bumping fists with Lu Jinxuan.

"Now it’s good, Gu Xiaoning’s back and you can finally be at ease." Lu Jinxuan smiled faintly. "Do your job properly, hmm?"

"Yes!" Le Zhengsheng nodded solemnly. "You can rest assured."

——

Gu Xiaoning slept straight through to the evening before she finally woke up, groggy.

"Asheng?"

"Right here." Le Zhengsheng turned on the light and helped her sit up in his arms. "Awake?"

"Mm." Gu Xiaoning wrapped her arms around his neck. "What time is it? I’m so hungry."

"It’s evening." Le Zhengsheng lifted her up and set her down on the sofa. "Be good and sit here, I’ll bring the food up for you."

"I’ll go down."

"No need." Le Zhengsheng kissed her. "I can’t bear to let you walk. You’re carrying two kids—walking would be so tiring."

"..." Gu Xiaoning couldn’t hold it back; the corners of her mouth stretched into a grin. "...Oh."
