The fetal movements were getting more frequent and more pronounced. At nine months, Gu Jinglian could even clearly see little hands and feet when the baby moved.

It was amazing.

It was really hard to imagine that pregnancy and childbirth was such a magical thing!

It was amazing and miraculous!

Gu Jinglian began to imagine what the two little ones might look like after they have been delivered.

The girl might look like him, while the boy might look like her.

There was no greater joy in life than having sons and daughters.

…

“Have you noticed that CEO Gu has been smiling a lot recently?”

“He never used to smile. Now, he seems to laugh to himself all the time sitting alone in his office!”

“Yes, I also realized that too. CEO Gu never smiled and always looked icy in the past. Now, I’ve walked into the office several times to catch him smiling foolishly at a pile of documents. It’s unbelievable! However, I can only act like I didn’t see that. Hehe!”

The secretaries were huddled together, whispering, when suddenly they heard someone speak in a serious tone.

“What are you talking about?”

“We…”

The group of people looked up and saw the stone-faced Gu Jinglian standing in front of them. They were rather taken aback. “CEO… CEO Gu.”

Gu Jinglian glanced at them coldly. “Too much free time on your hands?”

“No, no, no … we were talking about work.”

“Is that so.”

Gu Jinglian narrowed his eyes. “Why do I hear my name being mentioned?”

“Aiya…” One of the female employees immediately said, “We were just saying… Young Madam Gu is into her ninth month. She should be giving birth soon, right?”

“That’s right. We’re trying to imagine what the two babies will look like. The little princess will definitely look like CEO Gu. The little young master will definitely look like Young Madam Gu!”

One had to know that Gu Jinglian’s greatest concern now was Chu He and the unborn twins. That being the case, this topic should quickly suit his fancy and divert his attention.

Gu Jinglian snorted at that. He raised his sword-like eyebrows, but for once, said nothing apart from, “Get back to your work!”

Just as he turned to walk away, though, a thought struck him and he turned around again, looking thoughtful. “The common saying that daughters take after their fathers… What’s the basis for that?”

“Of course. My daughter looks especially like her Daddy!”

“That’s right. Anyway, all the girls I’ve seen resemble their fathers. I don’t know what the basis is. Anyway, at least it’s true of the ones I’ve seen.”

“Of course it’s a reasonable assumption. Otherwise, the saying wouldn’t exist.”

The corners of Gu Jinglian’s lips turned upwards slightly. Despite his best efforts to restrain himself, the smug smile on his lips was obvious!

“I hope so!” His expression turned stony again after he said that. He cleared his throat and headed back to his office.

After he entered his office, the secretaries behind their desks breathed a sigh of relief. They winked at each other and snickered.

Gu Jinglian left work to return home. Upon arriving at the Gu family residence, he saw Butler Fu and Madam Qin waiting at the door.

They were keeping a lookout and immediately came forward when they saw the car approaching. However, when they saw Gu Jinglian getting out, they suddenly sighed and looked disappointed.

Gu Jinglian was annoyed by their anxious expressions and asked, “What’s going on?”

Madam Qin shook her head. ‘I thought Xiao He has come home!’

As Madam Qin was rather close to Chu He, she affectionately referred to Chu He as “Xiao He.”
