Chapter 214: 212 Her belly is not conspicuous Chapter 214: 212 Her belly is not conspicuous Ma Zhixuan didn’t react. He turned his head toward the car window and, in the dim light of the overcast sky, watched the survivors outside, wrapped in coral fleece bedding sets, trudging along on the Xiang A Highway. He suddenly asked, “Sis-in-law, do you know Hua Mi? What exactly is her relationship with those Garrison guys?” Qin Zhen’s expression froze. Of course, she knew Hua Mi—that woman had been where her husband and Zhou Cheng got their supplies for shipment to City C. Not someone you’d want to offend. Even the people from City C had to cozy up to her somewhat. After all, Hua Mi had a large stockpile of resources. Qin Zhen frowned, recalling the rumors about Hua Mi and Qin Ziran, and said to Ma Zhixuan, “Don’t go sticking your nose where it doesn’t belong. Your girlfriend isn’t the worry-free type, either. Look, you’ve only been with her for a few months, and now she might cause trouble for us.” Qin Zhen laid out Hua Mi’s relationships—with Gong Yi, with Qin Ziran, and with Fang Xin—for Ma Zhixuan. During her time in Xiang City, it wasn’t just mahjong with wealthy ladies from City C; she had also deliberately collected quite a bit of information about Hua Mi and Gong Yi, as well as about everyone surrounding the couple. There was no choice in the matter; their social stratum required extreme caution, far more than anyone else. The fear was always there, that on someone else’s territory, they might inadvertently offend the wrong person, causing trouble not only for themselves but potentially cutting off the entire resource supply to City C. That would indeed be a loss greater than the potential gain. Therefore, Qin Zhen hoped Ma Zhixuan wouldn’t heed Qin Xiaolan’s words and provoke Hua Mi. But Ma Zhixuan responded noncommittally. Hua Mi, so what? She had nothing he couldn’t handle—just two hands, two legs. It wasn’t like she had three heads and six arms. However, contrary to what Fang Xin had said, it wasn’t because she had dated many Garrison men that she was so well-liked among them. It was because she and Gong Yi were a couple. Ma Zhixuan scoffed, “I was just asking. Hua Mi, pregnant and still daring to kill with a knife, is even more ruthless than you, sis-in-law.” Qin Zhen gave Ma Zhixuan a sidelong glance and remained silent. In these times, who could manage to live well wasn’t a simple person, were they? Upon arriving in Xiang City, Qin Zhen finally asked Ma Zhixuan, “Aren’t you going to look for your girlfriend? Not to speak ill, but I’ve come to see she isn’t right for you.” Discerning the encouragement to break up in Qin Zhen’s tone, Ma Zhixuan seemed somewhat dispirited, “No need, let her come find me. I’m going to go back and rest first.” After all the commotion, Ma Zhixuan was exhausted. Satisfaction flickered in Qin Zhen’s eyes. She instructed the driver to head directly to their residence. Meanwhile, Hua Mi had already collected an entire truckload of corpses back at her junkyard. She parked the truck outside the abandoned crematorium, teleported to Lotus Shengxing Supermarket, and started stuffing her 24th-level storage unit No. 1 with supplies down into the underground garage. After she filled the entire three floors of the underground garage, Hua Mi teleported to the RV Supermarket. The large warehouse behind this RV Supermarket had been covered with Waterproof Oilcloth by Huo Jing. As Hua Mi stacked supplies inside, she perfectly avoided the gaze of everyone. Just in time, once she had finished her work, Gong Yi had returned to within the confines of Xiang City from the Red Light District. He returned with all the Garrison by tearing a Teleportation Ticket. If they were to drive, it would have been a huge waste of gasoline and diesel; using a Teleportation Ticket was much more environmentally friendly and economical. Even though Hua Mi charged him 10,000 for one Teleportation Ticket. But Gong Yi discovered something—if the Garrison stuck together, they only needed to tear one Teleportation Ticket to transport several people at once. Teleportation was just like transporting goods. A person could teleport as many people as they could goods. This effectively saved lots of Teleportation Tickets. When Gong Yi hurried to the outside of the Lotus Shengxing Supermarket, he happened to catch Yu Mengmeng with her big pregnant belly, stacking goods on the shelves outside. Seeing Gong Yi approaching, Yu Mengmeng shouted loudly, “Ah Mi, your husband’s here.” Gong Yi’s usually serious and handsome face suddenly softened into a smile. He nodded at Yu Mengmeng, finding her particularly agreeable, “Hello.” “Com, Commander... Hello.” Yu Mengmeng suddenly felt a sense of being flattered and pointed towards the warehouse behind the supermarket, “Your wife’s in the back, tidying up the stock.” As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Mi appeared, dressed in a coral fleece maternity outfit. She strode forward and nudged Gong Yi in the waist with her elbow, “Let’s go, time for a prenatal checkup.” She was very direct. In fact, she had just had a checkup not long ago, but because her blood pressure was a bit low, Xin Qiuru asked her to come back for another examination in a few days. It just happened that Gong Yi was going to accompany her. Watching Hua Mi’s determined stride, Gong Yi quickly grabbed a raincoat and caught up with her, draping it over her body, “Slow down a bit, didn’t you see the stones underfoot?” It was with such nagging that Hua Mi led Gong Yi to Xin Qiuru’s office. Behind the sky-blue curtains, Gong Yi rubbed his hands anxiously, sitting next to Hua Mi, and for the first time, saw her lift her clothes to reveal her pregnant belly. He was startled, “Has your belly gotten this big?” Because the weather was too cold, and Hua Mi dressed in layers, with thermal clothing under her loose coral fleece maternity outfit, and a large raincoat over that, her belly didn’t stand out. Gong Yi’s memory of Hua Mi’s belly was still flat under his lips from that night. So when Hua Mi rolled up her layers of clothes and showed off her belly, it was a whole size bigger than when Gong Yi first touched it. Xin Qiuru, who was operating the ultrasound machine, glanced at Gong Yi and explained: “After all, there are two, so it’s a bit bigger than the usual three-month pregnancy. It’s fine, as long as she’s not overeating and making the kids too big, it’s still within the normal range.” “Can’t eat too much?” Before Hua Mi could ask, Gong Yi anxiously blurted out, “What about the twin girls? If she doesn’t eat that much, will they be malnourished?” “In the early stage, nutrition is definitely the main focus, but later on, diet still needs to be controlled, otherwise, performing a cesarean section in this environment can be quite risky.” Xin Qiuru was a proponent of natural childbirth, although in this era, twins were seldom born that way. But if possible, Xin Qiuru still supported natural birth. Hua Mi was no ordinary person and could give birth naturally. Then, Xin Qiuru’s expression turned serious as she began to educate Gong Yi, “No matter if it’s a son or a daughter, you must treat them the same; Commander Gong, you really need to change this mindset of preferring girls over boys.” Gong Yi nodded, affirmatively responding with his mouth, holding Hua Mi’s raincoat in his arms, as obedient as a student being scolded by a teacher. It made Hua Mi, who was lying on the bed, laugh quietly. She signaled to Xin Qiuru with her eyes, “Let him listen to the heartbeat of the children.”
