Chapter 262 Or Separately?
Shen Wancheng looked at Gu Mingqian again and noticed that Gu Mingqian's expression had darkened, but he did not respond to the conversation about the He family.
"Let's just eat properly, how did we end up talking about work? Dad, the company is run by Jinxing and Wancheng themselves, so it's their own business what they choose to do, so don't worry about it."
Wen Nan spoke up to smooth things over.
Gu Mingqian accepted this offer.
"Yes, I was being too attached to appearances."
"Wancheng, have you consulted a doctor about whether you'll have a C-section or a vaginal delivery?"
After Shen Wancheng learned that she was pregnant with triplets, she made a point of learning about the current medical standards in Hong Kong.
Fortunately, the medical standards in Hong Kong Island were already quite good at this time, and the technology for cesarean sections was mature.
Shen Wancheng is not afraid of blood, but she is terrified of wounds. Even a small cut on her finger will make her heart tremble and she dare not look at it.
Let alone a C-section, which involves making a cut in the abdomen to remove the baby, Shen Wancheng felt terrified just thinking about it.
However, Shen Wancheng also knew that, let alone triplets, even twins are extremely rare in real life, with very few babies reaching full term and being successfully delivered naturally.
It's a very simple principle: for a baby to be delivered naturally, only one fetus needs to be in the correct position. For twins, two fetuses need to cooperate to be in the right position for delivery. Triplets, on the other hand, require all three to cooperate to be delivered in an orderly fashion.
The probability of having a natural birth is naturally lower.
No matter how afraid Shen Wancheng was of incision, she had to put her own life and safety first. If she couldn't meet the conditions for a natural birth, she wouldn't take any chances and would choose a cesarean section directly.
Shen Wancheng replied, "The doctor said that we need to see the position of the three fetuses at the time of delivery before making a decision, but it will most likely be a cesarean section."
"I think it's better to have a natural birth if possible. I've seen the bellies of people who have had C-sections, and they have such long scars."
Shen Wancheng smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about that."
Gu Mingqian also asked, "A C-section involves making an incision in your abdomen to remove the baby. Will that have any impact on you in the future?"
"Just like surgery, as long as you take good care of yourself afterward, there won't be any lasting effects."
Shen Wancheng thought for a moment and added, "It's fine if I want to have children in the future."
Gu Mingqian was indeed worried about this. Hearing Shen Wancheng say that a cesarean section would not affect future pregnancies, Gu Mingqian visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Shen Wancheng sighed helplessly in her heart. Hong Kong Island is much more developed than the mainland now, except that the idea of having many children and carrying on the family line is even more prevalent in Hong Kong than in the mainland.
However, Shen Wancheng only sighed and was not angry. In any case, her children, regardless of gender, would have a "throne" to inherit.
After dinner, Gu Jinxing was about to take Shen Wancheng back home.
Gu Mingqian and Wen Nan both wanted them to stay at the Gu Mansion.
They all felt satisfied and at ease just looking at Shen Wancheng.
If I don't see Shen Wancheng for ten days or half a month, I start to worry that something might have happened to her.
However, Gu Jinxing insisted on taking Shen Wancheng back, saying that he was afraid Shen Wancheng would have trouble sleeping at night because she was not used to sleeping in unfamiliar beds.
Shen Wancheng originally wanted to say that she had always been a good sleeper since she was a child, and she could fall asleep as soon as her head hit the bed. She had never experienced being unable to sleep in a particular bed.
But seeing Gu Jinxing's reluctant expression when facing Gu Mingqian, Shen Wancheng swallowed back the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Gu Jinxing himself didn't want to sleep in his own house, so why should she try to persuade him? Of course, she wouldn't.
On the way back, Shen Wancheng finally got the chance to ask Gu Jinxing.
"What's the deal with the He family? I remember when we were considering this, you didn't mention the He family at all; it wasn't even on your radar."
Gu Jinxing naturally took Shen Wancheng's hand in his.
He said with little interest, "Gu Qinglan's husband's family."
Shen Wancheng suddenly realized.
Gu Qinglan's husband, Shen Wancheng, had met him, but because he was a son-in-law brought into the family through a marriage proposal, and because he was introverted and quiet, Shen Wancheng had never spoken to him and had no impression of him.
Since the He family is willing to let their son become a live-in son-in-law, their financial situation must be inferior to that of the Gu family.
Therefore, it was reasonable for Gu Jinxing not to take the He family into account last time, both publicly and privately.
But why would Gu Mingqian specifically call Shen Wancheng and Gu Jinxing home to speak up for the He family?
Shen Wancheng said half-jokingly, "Does your grandfather have some kind of leverage that the He family has over him? What could the He family possibly have that would make him speak up for them knowing you would be angry?"
Gu Jinxing glanced at Shen Wancheng and smiled.
“I wouldn’t get angry over something so trivial, I just wouldn’t agree to let the He family benefit. As for my grandfather, he’s probably betting that you don’t know and that I won’t argue with you. He brought it up in person, and if you agree, he’ll make the decision immediately, and that’ll be it.”
"..."
Shen Wancheng remained silent.
It turns out that Gu Mingqian's praise of her at the dinner table was just to confuse her and get her to agree to the request.
Although Shen Wancheng didn't care about other people's praise, she felt a little uncomfortable thinking that the harmony at the dinner table was all created for Gu Qinglan.
Fortunately, she paid close attention to Gu Jinxing's reactions and agreed to all of his suggestions without considering that Gu Mingqian was an elder.
Otherwise, whether this matter succeeds or not, it will definitely end up causing unpleasantness.
Gu Jinxing also said, "My grandfather actually made the right bet. You really don't know, if you had agreed, I really wouldn't have contradicted you on the spot. However, he didn't expect that we would have such a tacit understanding after only a few months of marriage. My wife only needs to look at me once to understand what I'm thinking."
Why does Gu Jinxing sound so arrogant?
Shen Wancheng glanced sideways at Gu Jinxing.
But he also played along, saying, "Yes, I know you best. Aren't you touched?"
Gu Jinxing raised his hand, put his arm around Shen Wancheng's shoulder, pulled her into his arms, and quickly kissed her cheek.
"My feelings of gratitude were beyond words, and could only be expressed through my actions."
Shen Wancheng reached out and pinched Gu Jinxing's waist hard.
It's not easy to pinch it.
She then remembered that Gu Jinxing had a great physique.
After they moved in together, although nothing happened because of her pregnancy, she still saw Gu Jinxing's figure after he took a shower, wearing only boxer shorts.
His whole body is muscular, and he even has six-pack abs.
Shen Wancheng didn't have the fetish of some girls in later generations who wanted to touch abs, but she still enjoyed appreciating them.
She was very satisfied with Gu Jinxing's figure.
I just regret that I'm pregnant now and can no longer fully appreciate the power of my body when I exercise.
Shen Wancheng suddenly remembered what she thought when she first took a close look at Gu Jinxing's figure, and she became lost in thought for a moment.
"Why are you suddenly so thoughtful? Still thinking about the He family? Don't worry, they can't cause any trouble."
Shen Wancheng snapped out of her daze.
Perhaps feeling guilty for her own wild thoughts, Shen Wancheng tacitly accepted Gu Jinxing's claim that she was thinking about the He family.
Then he asked, "Since you can't stir up any trouble, why would you ask your grandfather to speak on your behalf?"
Before Gu Jinxing could answer, Shen Wancheng continued, "Your grandfather wouldn't still be thinking about the happiness of his descendants and want Gu Qinglan's family to come back, would he?"
"more or less."
Shen Wancheng thought that Gu Mingqian had once been a decisive and efficient businessman for decades, but now he was indecisive.
Looks like I'm really getting old.
They think they are doing it for their children's good and for the harmony of the family, but they are just being naive.
