Chapter 53 System: Congratulations, Host, on having both a son and a daughter!
Shen Yao slept next to Shen Wancheng, just like when they were in the rented apartment.
Shen Wancheng yawned; she was really sleepy.
Shen Yao leaned close to Shen Wancheng's ear and said, "Sister, don't sleep yet, let's talk."
"Well, you said."
Shen Yao glanced at the closed door and unconsciously lowered her voice.
"Sis, don't you think Shen Mei's expression and reaction are sometimes a little strange?"
Shen Wancheng suddenly opened her eyes, which had been half-closed, turned to face Shen Yao, and asked her.
"How to say?"
Shen Wancheng had been paying attention to Shen Mei's changing expression, but she didn't expect that Shen Yao, who seemed carefree, would also notice it.
“Grandpa tested us that night. When we confronted him, I didn’t really feel anything. Sister, you’re right, we’re definitely one, and we can’t favor one over the other. So I thought, if this is what made Grandpa angry, then we should disown him and move back to our rented apartment.”
Shen Wancheng nodded, "I think about the same thing as you, so what?"
“But I feel that Shen Mei doesn’t think that way. She cares a lot about whether we acknowledge our kinship and is afraid that we will have a falling out with our maternal grandfather.”
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow, "How did you find out?"
“When we confronted Grandpa, Shen Mei was much more nervous than the two of us. She probably didn’t even realize it herself. She sat next to me, grabbed my hand, and nervously pinched me hard.”
Shen Yao raised her hand, and there were still a few nail marks on her wrist.
Shen Wancheng frowned slightly, "You pinched so hard."
Shen Yao lowered her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, I'm thick-skinned. I just wanted to show you that Shen Mei was really concerned back then."
As Shen Yao spoke, she suddenly realized that what Shen Wancheng had asked her just now was how she found out, not why she thought of Shen Mei that way.
Shen Yao stared wide-eyed and asked,
"Sister, did you already think this way? If you hadn't noticed, you would have asked me why I thought this about Shen Mei, instead of asking me how I found out."
Shen Wancheng chuckled, "Our Yaoyao is so smart."
"Hmph, so you found out all along, but you didn't tell me. Was it because I didn't come to your bed that you still wouldn't tell me?"
"A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions. Shen Mei's thoughts may be somewhat improper, but she is still able to hide her little schemes."
Shen Wancheng smiled sarcastically, "Even if you reveal a little bit of your thoughts, it's still doing something stupid."
Shen Yao tilted her head and thought about what stupid thing Shen Wancheng was talking about.
"You mean she deliberately said something wrong to let Grandpa know you were pregnant?"
“Hmm.” Shen Wancheng nodded. “To say that she did it on purpose is not entirely true. Maybe she was just jealous when she saw how nice Grandpa was to the two of us at the dinner table, so she decided to reveal what she thought was a shameful thing about me to Grandpa so that he would look down on me.”
"What a wicked heart," Shen Yao said indignantly, "and stupid too."
"Right? What good will it do her if Grandpa looks down on me and doesn't like me? How could he possibly like her?"
"That's exactly right, you idiot. I want to kick her out now. We treat her sincerely, and she's still jealous of us."
Shen Wancheng looked at Shen Yao and smiled.
"Then go quickly, go now."
Shen Yao thought for a moment, but did not get out of bed.
"Well... it seems a bit of an overreaction to kick her out over something like this."
"Right? That's why I didn't tell you, I was thinking of waiting and seeing."
"She may have had bad intentions in revealing my pregnancy, but I don't think there's anything wrong with it. When I decided to keep them, I never thought of hiding my pregnancy from anyone. Since I wanted them, in my mind, carrying them shouldn't be a bad thing."
Shen Yao's hand touched Shen Wancheng's stomach.
"The three children are so lucky to have such a perfect mother like my sister."
"Pfft." Shen Wancheng chuckled.
"How can you praise someone in such a roundabout way?"
Shen Yao said smugly, "I'm telling the truth, my sister is the best."
Shen Wancheng couldn't help but let out a big yawn.
"Alright, I'm really sleepy. If you want to sleep in my room, then go to sleep now. If you don't want to sleep here, then leave now. As for Shen Mei, just keep an eye on her."
"Sis, you should sleep by yourself. I'm afraid I'll kick you while I'm sleeping. I'll go out and check on Shen Mei's situation."
Shen Wancheng waved to Shen Yao, "If you're going out, hurry up and turn off the room lights."
Shen Yao got out of bed and stood by the bedside, curtsying to Shen Wancheng in an ancient maid's gesture.
"This servant will obey Miss's orders."
Shen Wancheng was amused by Shen Yao again, and closed her eyes, telling Shen Yao to go out quickly.
After Shen Yao turned off the lights and left, Shen Wancheng closed her eyes and found herself in front of the Life Achievement System.
"Congratulations, host, you have successfully conceived triplets. Achievement points increased by 30. Your current achievement point balance is 70."
"Congratulations, host! You now have both a son and a daughter. Your achievement points have increased by 50. Your current achievement point balance is 120."
Having both a son and a daughter?
Does that mean she's carrying twins?
This system not only serves as a pregnancy test, but it also indirectly reveals the gender of the child in Shen Wancheng's womb.
I just don't know if it's a combination of two men and one woman or two women and one man.
Well... no matter what group it is, the eldest must be a boy, and he must be the older brother to take care of the younger sister. Even if the boy isn't the first one to appear, Shen Wancheng still wants him to be the eldest.
Shen Wancheng had always envied girls who were pampered by their older brothers. Although she could not have that, she felt very satisfied and happy knowing that her future daughter would be such a happy girl.
Shen Wancheng happily imagined the future for a while because of the baby's gender, then looked at her achievement points balance.
Shen Wancheng never expected that just by getting pregnant, she would have 120 achievement points, enough for her to master several professional skills.
However, Shen Wancheng only received five million Hong Kong dollars from Xu Pingtao today, so she's not in a hurry to enter other money-making industries.
Five million Hong Kong dollars is a huge sum of money in this era. If Shen Wancheng wanted to use it to invest in any industry, he would definitely be a major investor and would be treated like royalty by companies.
With her career no longer a priority, Shen Wancheng turned her attention to her personal safety.
She will certainly have people to take care of her during pregnancy and childbirth, but if she relies entirely on others, doesn't understand things, and is intentionally misled, problems are bound to arise.
Therefore, Shen Wancheng plans to acquire two professional skills: maternal and infant specialist and expert in traditional Chinese and Western medicine research.
One type of knowledge and ability is enabling her to understand how to better care for her fetus, and the other type of knowledge and ability is enabling her to understand various medications.
Shen Wancheng thought of her previous experience with traditional Chinese medicine.
If someone were to drug her now without her noticing, it wouldn't be as easy as just sleeping with a man back then.
Since Shen Wancheng has already decided to keep the children in her womb and has accepted their existence, she will definitely protect them.
