Madam, Please Behave-Chapter 331: Can Have So Many
Liu Changqing experienced, for the first time, what it felt like to be a father.
Actually... that’s not entirely accurate.
Strictly speaking, he was already the father of two kids.
He could clearly remember the joy he felt when they were born.
But... somehow, this time felt different.
Letting go of An Yuanyao from his arms, Liu Changqing placed both hands on her shoulders, putting a little distance between them.
He took a deep breath.
Staring at An Yuanyao, who was still sobbing, Liu Changqing’s gaze slowly moved from her face to her belly, almost as if he could feel the life growing inside.
In his previous life,
his parents had arranged blind dates for him right after he graduated from university, but back then, he had no interest at all and rejected them all.
If he hadn’t come to this world, who knew when he would’ve ever had kids of his own?
It felt so surprising, so unexpected.
And honestly, a little magical...
So this...
this was what becoming a father felt like.
So this... frёewebnoѵēl.com
was the feeling.
"I... I want to call my parents and tell them..."
An Yuanyao’s voice reached Liu Changqing’s ears, pulling him out of his thoughts.
He snapped back to reality, shifting his gaze from her belly back to her face.
His hands, still resting on her shoulders, lifted gently to wipe away the tear streaks on her face with his thumbs.
Liu Changqing slowed down his speech, speaking softly.
"Don't rush. Wait until you calm down first before telling them."
"Mm..."
An Yuanyao nodded, agreeing to Liu Changqing’s suggestion.
She sniffled hard, but her tears kept falling uncontrollably.
"Wuwuwu..."
Seeing this, Liu Changqing casually pulled a few tissues from the box on the coffee table and carefully wiped her nose for her, while gently nagging.
"You need to pay attention to your emotions from now on. I’ve often heard people say that if a mom gets too emotional, it can affect the babies..."
"R-Really?"
Still crying a second ago, An Yuanyao instantly stopped after hearing Liu Changqing’s words, asking in a muffled voice.
Seeing her like this, Liu Changqing nodded.
Getting his confirmation, An Yuanyao hurriedly wiped her tears away with her hands and started taking deep breaths, trying her best to calm herself down.
While she was working hard to stabilize her emotions, Liu Changqing didn’t rush her.
Instead, he moved to sit beside her, quietly watching as she kept breathing deeply.
Finally... she calmed down.
An Yuanyao seemed to have come down from her overwhelming joy, her breathing steady once more. After waiting a little longer to be sure, she finally felt ready.
She turned to Liu Changqing beside her and said softly,
"I think... I’m ready to tell them now."
"Yeah. Call them."
Hearing Liu Changqing’s encouragement, An Yuanyao opened her bag and pulled out her phone.
The screen lit up. Her hand trembled slightly as she gripped the phone, and after a little fumbling, she finally managed to dial her mother's number from the contacts list.
She pressed the phone to her ear.
It rang.
After three beeps, the call was picked up immediately.
At that moment, Su Yan was watching a TV drama. When she saw it was her daughter calling, she quickly grabbed the remote to mute the volume.
She placed the phone against her ear, although her eyes were still glued to the TV screen.
It was getting to the good part of the drama.
"Hello, Yaoyao? What’s wrong?"
【......】
Silence on the other end.
Su Yan waited for a bit.
Confused, she pulled the phone away to glance at the screen—
it clearly showed the call was connected.
Something felt wrong.
Her mind was no longer on the TV. Frowning, Su Yan spoke into the phone again.
"Did Liu Changqing bully you? What happened?"
【Wuwuwuwu... Mom...】
Suddenly, her daughter’s tearful voice came through,
followed by a choked-out, pitiful cry that tugged sharply at Su Yan’s heart.
She shot up from her seat, her face turning serious.
"What happened? Are you hurt? What’s wrong?!"
【Wuwuwu...】
【Let me tell your mom!】
Amid the sounds of crying, Liu Changqing’s voice came through, a bit blurred.
There was the noise of the phone being passed around, then two seconds later, Liu Changqing’s voice came through clearly.
【Mom, actually, today when we went to the hospital, they found out Yaoyao is carrying twins...】
"......"
Su Yan froze.
Hearing this news, she stood there blankly, holding the phone slack in her hand.
Then the phone slipped from her palm—
Clatter!
The loud crash came through the line.
Startled, Liu Changqing instinctively moved the phone a little away from his ear.
After realizing what happened, he quickly shouted into the microphone.
"Hello? Hello?! Can you hear me?!"
But there was no response.
Instead, he vaguely heard his mother-in-law’s voice.
【Old man! Oh my god! Yaoyao's having twins...!】
The voice grew fainter and fainter until Liu Changqing couldn’t hear it anymore.
After waiting for about a minute, he finally hung up.
He looked at An Yuanyao sitting beside him, her face buried in her hands, sobbing again.
He didn’t say anything.
He just quietly lifted his hand and gently patted her back.
This whole family...
why do they all overreact like this...
Xu Yisheng found something odd.
After school, she had done her usual routine—tidying up in the office and grabbing her things to go home.
But when she left, she noticed Liu Xiazhi and Feng Shuyan following her.
She didn’t know what they were staring at...
Turning around, Xu Yisheng bent down slightly, looking at the two kids, and asked softly, trying to find out why they were tailing her.
But when she asked, both kids clammed up.
They just shook their heads, pretending they knew nothing.
Although confused, Xu Yisheng had no choice but to let it go.
With the two little followers behind her, she went to the school bike shed, grabbed her bicycle, and walked it out of the school gate.
Sure enough, right at the gate, she bumped into Feng Qian, who was there to pick up his child as usual.
Dressed neatly in a deep blue striped coat, Feng Qian looked very formal.
A watch gleamed on his left wrist, his black leather shoes were polished to a shine, and his hair was carefully styled.
He even wore glasses—matching hers exactly.
Xu Yisheng recognized him immediately.
No denying it—among all the parents, Feng Qian’s getup definitely made him stand out.
The weather was cold.
Xu Yisheng shifted her gaze away from Feng Qian’s smiling face, looking a bit shy.
She subtly made a "six" gesture with her hand by her ear.
Seeing Feng Qian nodding in response, her cheeks turned red—whether from the cold or something else, even she didn’t know.
Instinctively, she ducked her head and pulled out a pair of gloves to put on.
After getting herself together, Xu Yisheng turned to look at the two kids still staring at her.
Though confused, she said what she usually said.
"Once you get home, make sure you finish today’s homework carefully, and review your textbooks too. Final exams are coming up."
"Okay!"
The two children responded in unison.
Satisfied, Xu Yisheng hopped onto her bike and slowly rode away from the school gate.
But Liu Xiazhi and Feng Shuyan just kept staring at their teacher’s retreating figure, making no move to leave.
Only after Xu Yisheng was nearly out of sight did Liu Xiazhi lean over to Feng Shuyan and whisper excitedly, like she had discovered a new toy.
"Teacher’s butt is so big... she must be able to have tons of babies..."
