Chapter 2 — My Husband and I Are Both Infertile, Three Months After Being Married I Got Pregnant With Quadruplets, He Was Immediately Shocked

A satisfied smile appeared on Tan Tu's face, thinking I agreed.

“Work, I won't stop. I like my job.”

“I will hire a nanny and a nutritionist myself, mom, I don't mind.”

"As for the place to live, Chu Duat and I are used to living there, it's very good."

My voice is not loud, but every word is extremely clear. The dining table immediately fell silent, the atmosphere seemed to freeze. The smile on Tan Tu's face stiffened, his eyes gradually colder.

“Hua Chi, what do you mean?”

"What I mean is," I raised my head and looked straight at her, "It's my matter, I decide for myself. My child, I have the right to speak up."

This is the first time I have exposed my fangs and claws in front of the Chu family. The me of the past, always obedient, peaceful, never saying a word. Because in that transaction, that was my role. But now, it's different. In my belly are my children, they are my only limit. Don't let anyone touch it. Tan Tu was so angry that her lips trembled. She turned sharply to look at Chu Duat.

"Chu Duat! Look at your good wife! Just like that, you dare to argue with me!"

There was no expression on Chu Duat's face. He just looked at me silently, his eyes carrying a scrutiny that I couldn't understand. He didn't say anything. His silence is an act of tolerance. When Tan Tu saw that his son did not defend him, his face became even more unsightly. She laughed coldly, staring at my stomach.

"Your child? Hua Chi, don't forget, not every dog or cat in our Chu family can enter."

"Whose breed this baby is, we still don't know."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Duat's face immediately darkened.

“Mom!”

At this moment, Tan Tu's phone rang. She answered the phone, said a few words, and a proud smile suddenly appeared on her face. Hanging up, she looked at me and slowly said:

"Tieu Chi, the team of nutrition experts I hired is here, all of them are the top experts in the country."

“Starting from today, your child's diet and activities will be under their full responsibility.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the big door of the villa was pushed open, and a row of women wearing white blouses walked in, everyone with a serious expression on their face, just like an interrogation team. The woman took the lead, carrying a medical cooling box in her hand.

The team of nutrition experts that Tan Tu invited was so big that it was scary. The head of the Vuong family is in his forties, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and a serious face. Behind her are four assistants, carrying all kinds of machines.

“Madam Zhou, starting today, we will take full responsibility for your pregnancy health.” The nutritionist surnamed Vuong pushed his glasses, his tone was very formulaic.

“Every meal, every drink of water, even every breath you take, we will strictly monitor.”

This is a nutritionist, clearly a prison guard. Tan Tu sat on the sofa, holding a cup of tea, enjoying my face.

“Tieu Chi, this is all for your good, and for my unborn grandchild.”

I didn't pay any attention to her, my eyes shifted to the medical cooling box.

“What is that?”

Expert Vuong opened the box, inside were carefully labeled vacuum blood collection tubes.

“This is for Prepare for genetic testing and DNA testing between Mr. Chu and me.”

Her voice wasn't loud, but it sounded like a bomb exploding in the living room. The corner of Tan Tu's lips curled up into a smile as if he was sure of victory. I immediately understood. This is her real purpose. The nutritionist was just a front, forcing me to do a DNA test to be real. If the baby belongs to Chu Duat, she will serve me like a god. If not... She wouldn't hesitate to kick me, and my child, out the door. I looked at Chu Duat. He leaned against the stair railing, holding a cigarette in his hand, the smoke lingering so that I couldn't see his expression clearly. From beginning to end, he didn't say a word. He implicitly agreed. My heart, little by little, sank. That's right, what right do you have to believe me? A woman who married him for money suddenly became pregnant. In return, whoever it is will be suspicious. Everyone's eyes in the living room were on me, waiting to see my reaction. Will there be panic and fear? Or do you live and die refusing to accept it? I took a deep breath, suppressing the waves rolling in my heart. Then, I smiled.

“Okay.”

I said.

“Do it.”

My reaction was beyond everyone's expectations. The complacency on Tan Tu's face stiffened. Expert Vuong was also stunned. Even Chu Duat, his hand holding a cigarette, stopped, the cigarette butts fell everywhere. He raised his head and looked straight at me for the first time, his eyes filled with scrutiny and confusion. I received his gaze, extremely calm.

“But, I have one condition.”

“Inspection can be done, but not here, nor using your people.”

I pointed at expert Vuong and the team behind her.

“I want to go to the most prestigious examination center, invite a top forensic doctor, film the entire process, and invite a lawyer to notarize.”

“I want a result that no one can doubt.”

My voice is not loud, but extremely strong. Tan Tu's face completely changed. She didn't expect that someone who was always obedient like me would suddenly become so tough. Even more unexpected, I dared to proactively request a DNA assessment. This completely upset her plans.

“Miss…” She was so angry that she couldn't speak.

I didn't bother looking at her anymore, my eyes shot straight towards Chu Duat.

“Chu Duat, do you dare?”

I'm forcing you into a tight spot. He looked at me, looked for a long time. It took so long that I thought he would refuse. Finally, he extinguished his cigarette and stood up straight.

“Okay.”

You only said one word. Everything happened faster than I imagined. The next day, Chu Duat had arranged everything. The most prestigious forensic examination center in the country, the best team of lawyers. He and I sat next to each other in the blood collection room. The cold needle pierced the skin, warm blood flowed into the test tube. I looked at my nominal husband sitting next to me. From the moment we got married until now, there has always been an insurmountable distance between us. Today, will this gap be filled, or will it turn into a ten thousand feet deep abyss? Results will take three days to come back. These three days, I lived in torment. Chu Duat did not return home, Tan Tu also did not appear anymore. The entire Chu family seems to be quietly waiting for a trial. The trial to judge my fate. On the afternoon of the third day, the lawyer called and said the results were out. Chu Duat and I arranged to meet at the lawyer's office.
