Time Travel: The Queen's Coronation

I was still at work when I received a call from Shen's mother saying that Shen Junhui wanted to see me. I said I had a meeting later and would come over later, but Shen's mother was very anxious and asked me to go because Shen Junhui's condition was very unstable.

As soon as I got off work this morning, I took the time to go see Shen Junhui. His mental state today was a complete contrast to his yesterday self. He was half-dead yesterday, but today he was radiant! He smiled and extended his hand to me, but I ignored him. I gripped the strap of my bag nervously, wondering if yesterday's lie had a significant impact on him. If I told him the truth, would his faith crumble, leading to a mental breakdown?

"Wife, come here!" Shen Junhui continued to reach out to me, but I still ignored him.

"You forgot that we are divorced!" I replied coldly.

"You can remarry even after divorce! You're still my wife!"

"We won't remarry! Don't think too much!"

"We already have a child. Do you want your child to have an incomplete family?"

"We'll talk about this later! You look great today! You're a completely different person than you were yesterday!"

"Of course, after I heard we were having a baby, I tried my best to wake up and cooperate with the doctor's treatment!"

"But the difference is too big! Yesterday you looked like a dead person, but now you are full of energy!"

"I've been lying down for almost a week, and I could hear what you said at the beginning of yesterday, but I just couldn't open my eyes. It wasn't until you said you were pregnant that I felt so brave. I crawled up desperately as if I had grabbed a life-saving straw, and finally opened my eyes!"

"Then you should rest and recuperate first!"

"Wife! Look, the car accident I got into is retribution! Let's get back together! I will never run away after we have a child! I will be a good father!"

"What did the doctor say about your condition?"

"That's great! As long as you rest well, you'll be back in a month!"

"That's great! Just focus on healing first, and we'll talk about other things later!"

"You won't abort the baby, will you?" Shen Junhui was very suspicious when he saw that I didn't answer his question directly. "No matter how much you hate me, you shouldn't take your anger out on our child! The child is innocent!" Shen Junhui was very excited after saying that. I was afraid that he would faint, so I quickly comforted him.

"Stop! Stop! I didn't abort the baby! Don't get excited!"

Shen Junhui's facial changes were as fast as those performed in Sichuan Opera. His crying face instantly turned into a smiling one. "Really! The baby is still here!"

"I didn't abort the child because the child didn't exist!"

"what?"

"At this point, I won't hide it from you anymore. My pregnancy story was just a lie. Your mother asked me to wake you up or you'd become a vegetable. I tried so many methods, but nothing worked. I wanted to give it a try, so I tried this one. Unexpectedly, it actually worked, and you actually woke up! So it was all just a lie, a white lie! I lied to you, I'm sorry!"

"Impossible! We've been together for so long, so it's normal for us to have a child! You must be trying to trick me!"

"I lied to you! I lied to you that I was pregnant!"

"No! You were afraid I'd die, so you told me the truth in the end, wanting me to die with peace of mind. Unexpectedly, I woke up by accident! Now that I know the news, you're afraid I'll pester you, so you lied to me and told me it was fake, just to make me give up! Haha! Honey, you can't fool me!"

"Take back your imagination! I'm really not pregnant!"

"Then tell me when was your period last month?"

His question stunned me. I thought for a moment, "You've been stressing me out lately. My period got disrupted and delayed!"

"You're lying! You're obviously pregnant!"

"Don't I know whether I'm pregnant or not?"

"You knew! But you didn't want me to know! So you deliberately lied to me!"

"I said no, and it means no! I don't want to get entangled with you. Since you are awake, I have done what your mother asked me to do. Let's end it here!" I turned around and was about to leave.

"Humph! It can't end here! We have a child! This child is a bond! I can't possibly deny my own child!"

"I told you it was just a lie! How can you believe it?" I stopped and walked back helplessly.

"When a man is about to die, his words are always good! So what you said then must be true!"

"Can you please look up the meaning of this sentence?"

"I don't care! This child is mine! I must take full responsibility. Don't even think about severing our father-son relationship!"

Seeing Shen Junhui getting stuck in a dead end, I really regretted saving him. I had no choice but to prove my innocence, "Alright! This is the hospital! I'll go to the gynecology department for a checkup! I'll show you the results and let you know if the child exists!"

"Of course you can! But you have to let my mom go with you! Otherwise, how would I know what you've done?"

"Okay, okay, okay!" I was so mad at him.

"Mom!" Shen Junhui shouted, and Shen's mother came in. "Mom, please accompany my wife to the prenatal checkup!"

Mother Shen looked at me in confusion, and I could only pull her out first.

"What's going on? Didn't you say you were not pregnant? Why did Ah Hui ask me to accompany you for the prenatal check-up?" Mother Shen was puzzled.

"I explained it to him, but he refused to believe me! So I had to get a test to prove I wasn't pregnant so he'd give up. But he was afraid I'd lie to him, so he asked you to stay with him!"

"Oh! This Ah Hui! He can be really stubborn sometimes!"

This hospital is private, and the Shen family is a super VIP, so I was able to get tested quickly. The blood test results took an hour to come back. The doctor then did a thorough ultrasound, which took almost an hour. Afterward, the doctor smiled and said to me, "Congratulations! You're pregnant! And it's twins!"

I was completely stunned when I heard the news. Mother Shen was very excited and kept asking the doctor whether it was accurate.

"I've checked carefully and I'm indeed pregnant. It's twins!"

"Twins, a boy and a girl?" Mother Shen was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.

"It's still too young to tell the gender. But it looks like it's eight weeks old. I'll take a look once the blood test results come out!"

"I don't believe it! Doctor, you must have made a mistake!" I didn't believe the result. At my insistence, the doctor examined me again. At the end of this examination, the results of the blood test came out.

"You're pregnant! It's been two months! According to the test results, congratulations! It's twins, a boy and a girl!"

"Really?" Mother Shen exclaimed excitedly.

"It's true! Congratulations, Mrs. Shen!" The doctor said to Mrs. Shen with a smile, then turned to me and said, "You're really pregnant! I'll prescribe some folic acid for you!"

I couldn't believe the result at all, and was supported by Mother Shen as I slowly walked out of the clinic. "Xiaoqing! Why did you hide it from me? Twins, a boy and a girl! This is such a great joy!" Mother Shen was still immersed in joy.

"Please don't tell Shen Junhui!" I begged Shen's mother.

"But he already knew! He even asked me to accompany you to your prenatal checkup!"

"Then tell him I'm not pregnant!"

"You don't want these two children, do you? They are two adorable little lives. You can't deprive them of their right to come into this world! And even if you don't want them, you still need the consent of the children's father! You can't act on your own!"

I'm so sorry! Why did I have to do this test? And why am I pregnant again? I just lied, but I couldn't believe it became reality! Now I can't stop it! How could such a coincidence happen?

Mother Shen pushed open the door of the ward and walked in with a smile on her face, but I didn't want to face Shen Junhui so I leaned against the wall outside and didn't go in.

"How is it?" Shen Junhui was very excited.

Mother Shen smiled and said, "Twins! And they're a boy and a girl!"

"Really! How could she lie to me at that time? Where is my wife?" Shen Junhui looked for me anxiously. Mother Shen came out and persuaded me to go in and talk to Shen Junhui.

"I'm going to be a father! And I'll have a son and a daughter! Wife, come and sit here!" Shen Junhui couldn't contain his excitement.

"This is not your child!" I said solemnly.

"You lied to me again! They are exactly two months old. Calculating the dates, they were either conceived in Germany or France. You were with me during this time! I know very well whose child it is!" Shen Junhui said proudly.

"Maybe the doctor made a mistake?"

"Everything you say now is a cover-up! They are my children! I have already thought of a name for the girl, Shen Rou! Girls are gentle and kind! They will be my little cotton-padded jackets when they grow up!" Shen Junhui was immersed in the joy of becoming a father and couldn't extricate himself.

"They're not surnamed Shen!"

"Why shouldn't my child have the surname Shen?"

"The child I give birth to must have my last name!"

"Why?! It's customary to have dad's last name! That coward Li Zhanwen is out of the question!"

"I don't want to talk to you. I have a meeting this afternoon. I'm leaving now!"

"No, no, no! Let's talk it over!"

"You let go!"

"Promise me first that you won't give up these two children on your own!"

"It's my body! I'm free to do what I want!"

"Xiaoqing! Induced abortion is very bad for your health!" Mother Shen advised.

"Being pregnant for ten months is not good for your health!" I retorted.

"But it can be recovered later! You gave birth to two children for Rong Zixuan, and even one for Li Zhanwen! Why are you unwilling to have my child?" Shen Junhui was very unconvinced, and was slapped by Shen's mother to signal him to control his emotions.

"Xiaoqing! These are not only Ah Hui's children, but also your children! They have been in your body for two months, and you should feel their presence. You can't just give up on a child who is connected to you by blood!" Mother Shen persuaded earnestly.

"When my children are born and see a father like this, they will hate me!"

"What's wrong with me! What's wrong with a father like me! No matter what, I can ensure that they have a good life!" Shen Junhui said proudly.

"You think that just giving birth to a child and providing them with food and clothing is enough! If you have such thoughts, it means you are not fit to be a father!"

"Whether I'm a qualified father or not is not up to you to decide. It's up to them to decide! So you have to give birth to them and let them judge!"

"With your conditions! There are plenty of women who are willing to give birth to children for you! Could it be that you were injured in a car accident and your ability in that area has been affected?" I teased Shen Junhui.

"How is that possible! I'm fine!" Shen Junhui retorted excitedly.

"So! You'll have plenty of opportunities to have children in the future!"

"These are my children. You can't deprive them of their right to live!"

"Let's talk about it later! I have a meeting, so I'm leaving first!" After saying that, I quickly left the ward.

After my afternoon meeting, I discovered that reporters had already reported my pregnancy. The Shen family gave each reporter waiting outside the hospital a large red envelope. When the reporters asked, they openly announced my pregnancy, saying the Shen family was welcoming its fourth generation! Furthermore, the Shen family had been a single-line family for three generations, and now they had twins, a boy and a girl. This was a truly auspicious occasion! They wanted to share in the reporters' joy! The Shen family also made a high-profile donation of 200 million yuan to the Children's Fund to provide blessings for the two children.

The Shen family's high-profile approach is intended to attract the attention of media reporters, allowing them to spread the news, thereby giving them the moral high ground and the upper hand in public opinion! I absolutely must have this child!
