I don't care about dating reality shows or the entertainment industry!

Three days later, Duan Xingye departed for Italy.

Before leaving, he patiently instructed his mother to take good care of Su Youzi.

Charlene didn't need his instructions; she took it very seriously.

They wished they could stay by each other's side forever.

Two weeks later, in the ultrasound room at the hospital.

The doctor slid the probe across Su Youzi's stomach, his expression gradually shifting from calm to surprise.

"This..." The doctor checked several times before looking at Su Youzi, his tone filled with disbelief.

"Miss Su, the twins have split into triplets."

"Triple...triplets?!" Su Youzi's mind went blank, and she was completely stunned.

Xia Lin and Ning Zhi were also stunned.

"Triples carry a higher risk and would put a heavy burden on your body. I suggest you consider fetal reduction," the doctor told Su Youzi.

"Tire reduction?!" Xia Lin and Ning Zhi exclaimed in unison.

"Doctor, will reducing the number of fetuses be dangerous for Youzi?" Ningzhi asked anxiously.

The doctor explained, "Any surgery carries a certain degree of risk."

Xia Lin and Ning Zhi firmly believed that the fetus should be reduced, and kept trying to persuade Su Youzi.

"Yuzu, listen to the doctor, reduce the number of fetuses. Three babies are too dangerous."

"Yes, Yuzu, your health is the most important thing. You can have more children later."

Su Youzi fell silent, stroking her flat stomach, her heart filled with struggle.

Tire reduction?

How could she give up.

Those were three vibrant little lives.

That evening, she was video chatting with Duan Xingye.

Duan Xingye remained silent for a long time.

He certainly hoped that all his children would be born safely, but he was more worried about Su Youzi's health.

"Honey, three babies are too much of a burden for you, and they're suffering in your belly. Listen to the doctor and reduce the number of fetuses."

Su Youzi burst into tears.

“I can’t bear to part with them. Fetal reduction also carries risks. The doctor has assessed that my current condition is good, and with medical technology so advanced now, and our finances are not a problem, I want to keep them all.”

Duan Xingye felt as if his heart was being torn apart as he looked at Su Youzi crying her eyes out on the screen.

"I'm reluctant to let you go, but I don't want you to take any risks."

“I really can’t bear it. I want to give them a chance to come into this world.” Su Youzi said firmly. “I will listen to the doctor’s advice. If the NT scan goes smoothly, we will keep the babies, okay?”

She smiled playfully and said, "I'm doing this in response to the country's three-child policy."

Nearly two hours of lobbying yielded no results.

Duan Xingye sighed and said helplessly, "I'll do whatever the doctor says."

The next day.

The nation's top gynecologists have gathered in Shenzhen.

After the NT results came out, and after comprehensive evaluation, the doctors unanimously agreed that the pregnant woman's physical condition could be observed first.

Fortunately, the babies were all very well-behaved and lived up to expectations.

Not only did she stop causing trouble for her mother, but her prenatal checkups went smoothly all the way.

However, it will most likely require a C-section one or two weeks in advance.

11 month 23 day.

Su Youzi is 36 weeks pregnant.

At one o'clock in the morning, Su Youzi was woken up by the urge to urinate.

"Aunt Li..."

She looked at the small bed next to her; Aunt Li wasn't there.

With her enormous belly, she struggled to get out of bed, supporting her back as she moved from the bed to the bathroom. The short distance felt like an eternity to Su Youzi.

She finished relieving herself and walked out of the bathroom.

A sudden wave of dizziness washed over me, blurring my vision and making the world spin.

"Ugh..." Su Youzi groaned in discomfort.

She instinctively reached out to grab the sink, but lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground.

With a muffled thud, Su Youzi felt her internal organs shudder, and a sharp pain shot through her abdomen.

She gasped in fright, her back instantly soaked with cold sweat.

"Ah!" The intense pain made Su Youzi cry out.

She struggled to get up, but her huge belly pressed down on her like a small mountain, making it impossible for her to move.

A warm liquid flowed down her leg.

Su Youzi touched it with trembling hands, and felt a sticky, wet patch.

The bright red color stung her eyes, and fear surged into her heart like a tidal wave, overwhelming her.

"Aunt Li! Aunt Li!" Su Youzi called out with all her might, her voice trembling and filled with despair.

The only response she received was an empty room and deathly silence.

"Aunt Li..." Su Youzi called out again, her voice growing weaker and weaker as fear and despair enveloped her.

She lay on the cold floor in despair, blood flowing continuously.

It stained her nightgown red.

It also stained the floor red.

An unprecedented fear engulfed her.

"Hoshino..."

-

The sharp whistle pierced Su Youzi's confusion.

The world seemed shrouded in a mist, hazy and indistinct.

She struggled to open her eyes, and everything in front of her was blurry.

As the shaking continued, a tear-stained face gradually came into focus.

Charlene gripped her hand tightly; her palms were sweaty, and her knuckles were white.

"Youzi, it's okay, it's okay, we're at the hospital soon." Her voice was trembling and choked with sobs.

Su Youzi felt her body was light and airy, as if she were floating in the air.

abdomen...

A dull pain came from her abdomen, instantly bringing her to her senses.

"Baby, baby..." Su Youzi managed to utter, her throat dry and hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper.

A doctor in a white coat is operating on her abdomen with an instrument.

The instrument emitted a "beep beep beep" sound, each beep striking Su Youzi's nerves.

"The fetal heartbeat is there, please hang in there a little longer." The doctor's brief words were like a ray of light in the darkness, giving Su Youzi immense hope.

She clung tightly to this glimmer of hope, as if grasping at a lifeline.

Charlene was still crying, her tears falling like a broken string of pearls, unstoppable.

She wiped away her tears and choked out as she spoke.

"Don't be afraid, I'll bring Hoshino back right away."

Su Youzi shook her head weakly.

"He has a match coming up soon, let him focus on the match."

Upon hearing this, Charlene panicked, "What competition? My wife is like this!"

Su Youzi forced a smile.

"He's not a doctor, and it takes more than ten hours to fly back from the US. Don't tell him. Let him focus on the competition. My baby and I will be fine."
