Chapter 89: Double the Surprise

Chapter 89: Double the Surprise

The title of "Multi-Billionaire" was undeniably cool.

Emily touched her stomach and let out a barely noticeable sigh. She wasn't alone anymore; calculating it, she was still Qi Baiyi…

Emily snorted softly and deliberately pouted. "I don't see you trying to divvy up the inheritance with me."

She pointed to her small belly. "You're trying to leave it to this!"

Ethan raised an eyebrow and laughed silently.

"Well then," he said seriously, "how about I add an addendum at the end? I promise you'll always be my first heir."

Emily paused and immediately shook her head. She wasn't really fussed about these things. It was just a little playful test, a way to tease her man.

"Emily," Ethan said, moving closer and wrapping an arm around her naturally. "I've told you before, you are the most important to me. That won't change just because you're pregnant."

He gazed at her with warm, gentle eyes. "Whether or not we have a child, you will always be my top priority."

Emily met his gaze for a few seconds, and didn't say anything more.

She picked up the pen from the coffee table and turned to the last page of the agreement, signing it without any hesitation.

"No need for an addendum," she said, closing the pen and smiling at him, "Just remember what you said."

Ethan took back the agreement and held her close, kissing her forehead softly.

"Of course I remember."

Emily secretly smiled wider at his kiss.

She patted her stomach. "So, am I the baby, or is it?"

She shivered a bit at her own question.

Ugh. So sentimental and gross.

But Ethan was all in for it. He grinned and held her tighter.

"You are."

He leaned in, affectionately rubbing his nose against hers and brushing his ear against hers.

"From now on, there will only be one baby in this house, and that's Qi Baby."

**

Ethan kept his promise. Not only did he stop calling the baby in her belly "the baby," but every aspect of her pregnancy care focused on "Qi Baby."

A new nutritionist and chef were hired, cooking up a variety of meals for Emily daily, catering to her nutritional needs without causing her to gain weight.

The Stardust Pavilion was also given a simple renovation, with non-slip carpets installed throughout the house, and extra protection added to the bedroom.

Even more exaggeratedly, Chairman Harrison now prohibited Emily from bathing herself. Either he personally attended to it, or the household maids helped.

In the past few days, Ethan had flown in skincare and cosmetic experts from France to customize pregnancy skincare products just for her. His little wife had complained that many products couldn't be used during pregnancy, so he took immediate action to provide her with personalized care.

Both the Harrison and Clarke families were aware of the news.

Normally, at less than three months, Emily planned to wait until things stabilized before making the announcement. But Old Mr. Harrison was anxious.

The old man had pretended to be ill, tricking them into coming home to urge them to have children. But now, with Grandpa's condition, if there wasn't a great-grandchild soon, it seemed like there was no need for pretense anymore…

When he heard about the great-grandchild arriving in nine months, as Grandma Xun described, the old man jumped higher than he did when he was young. :)

The elderly man, now recovered from his ailments, wanted to visit the pregnant woman but was rebuffed by his grandson.

However, he didn't insist and sent a wave of support from afar, including food and useful items.

Emily glanced through it and found it was all priceless stuff.

Grandpa even asked for her private account and sent a huge red envelope secretly. When she received the transfer notification, Emily was startled.

She finally believed that the rumors about "the wife of a certain billionaire being rewarded with billions" were not false…

The first six weeks of Emily's pregnancy went by with meticulous care and protection.

On the first Monday of the seventh week, Ethan missed the company meeting to accompany Emily for her first prenatal checkup.

He now not only cooked bird's nest soup but also took over making sweet porridge and other dishes. Last night, he spent two to three hours in the kitchen preparing a dessert for his wife.

Emily didn't hesitate to savor these expressions of love from her husband.

For breakfast today, Ethan, under the guidance of the chef, made sweet soup. As Emily was on her second bowl, several housemaids suddenly entered, holding clothes.

Emily looked at the fashion show-like scene with confusion.

"These are custom-made maternity clothes I ordered from a brand some time ago," Ethan said, glancing at Emily's barely noticeable belly. "In a few months, you'll be able to wear them."

Emily: "…"

So they were maternity clothes.

She instinctively touched her stomach.

In a few months, would it really get bigger? Ugh.

She had been confident about herself. Given her physique and body type, she thought she could manage the "only a pregnant belly" hot mom look…

Emily looked down, pinching her still slender waist, feeling the difference from front to back.

"Honey," Emily looked up, frowning at him. "Do you think I've gained weight?"

Ethan was momentarily stunned, then quickly shook his head. "No."

He mentally cursed himself. He knew pregnant women were particularly sensitive, but he hadn't expected her to project that sensitivity onto seeing a bunch of beautiful maternity clothes and start thinking she was gaining weight…

Ethan glanced at her tiny waist, desperately shaking his head. "Really, you haven't."

Emily's hands remained on her waist, her delicate brows furrowing deeper as she continued to explore.

"But I really feel like I've gained weight…"

She stood up from the dining table, pulling up her clothes to reveal a small section of porcelain-white belly.

"Look."

Saying this, Emily looked down at herself.

No, it wasn't an illusion.

She could clearly see her abdomen, which had never had an ounce of fat, starting to protrude just a bit.

…Is it normal to show so soon after just over a month of pregnancy?

Ethan also stood up, his brows twitching slightly.

He could see it too.

The belly was indeed sticking out a bit.

Is it normal to show so quickly during pregnancy?

Emily put her clothes down, looking dejected.

"If I'm already showing now, what will happen in a few months!"

She began to blame her husband, glaring at him. "It's all your fault! You're always feeding me delicious food!"

Ethan walked over, rubbing her head and smiling indulgently.

It didn't matter if she was angry; the key was that she admitted his food was delicious.

Even though the sweet soup was good, Emily didn't want to finish the second bowl.

The couple finished getting ready and headed to the car for the private clinic.

In addition to Director Qiao, who was familiar with Emily's situation, an experienced obstetrician, Dr. Jiang, was also present.

Dr. Jiang was a highly esteemed expert who had been rehired at the private clinic. Since she began practicing there, it was no exaggeration to say that over half of the new generation of the elite families in Jiangcheng had been delivered by her.

Dr. Jiang first looked at Emily with a smile and then gently touched her abdomen.

"Really slim!"

Emily felt a bit relieved by Dr. Jiang's comment.

She smiled and obediently lay down on the examination bed.

As the cool probe touched her belly, Emily flinched slightly.

Dr. Jiang stared at the screen and nodded. "Got it."

The couple looked curiously and excitedly at the screen.

After a few seconds, Dr. Jiang's hand paused. She leaned closer to the screen and softly said, "Oh?"

Ethan, overly sensitive, immediately grew serious. "What's wrong?"

He looked at the doctor with concern. "Is there… a problem?"

Dr. Jiang shook her head, her smile widening. "Ethan."

"There are two gestational sacs!"
