Rent A Boyfriend! - Chapter 180
[Nine months later]
[Yang Menghuo POV]
“Wife Jie, it’s not healthy for our baby….” Yang Menghuo grieved, trying to remind his beloved wife what she was doing right now wasn’t healthy for her and their babies.
“Huh? What did you say?” Shi Ying glared at her husband, and Yang Menghuo jerked back in fright.
“N—Nothing!”
Yang Menghuo and Shi Ying have already been married for almost a year now, and aside from their happy married life, nothing much has changed. Although there had been demand from Mr. Yang to replace him in the office, they had been too busy with Shi Ying’s first pregnancy.
They took it seriously, of course, especially Yang Menghuo, who wanted both his beloved and the babies to be safe.
Yes, babies.
Because based on the ultrasound they did before, Shi Ying had a pair of twins! That was the reason why Shi Ying’s belly was bigger than a usual pregnant woman.
Yang Menghuo was the most cautious over everything and was worried that his wife might’ve gotten hurt when he wasn’t around.
But Shi Ying didn’t seem to be worried about her pregnancy. She just did activities like usual, but she had this one craving that made her husband always get a heart attack each time he returned home.
They said women always had cravings when pregnant, and it was no different for Shi Ying.
She had a craving for eating steamed Bao/bun in all flavours. She liked eating not one or two, but dozens in a day, and almost a hundred in one week.
And the way she ate it was very scary. She would tear the bao with her teeth or split it in half with her hands. She ate like a monster as well.
What made Yang Menghuo scared the most was how she kept calling Meng Bao while eating.
“This one is Baobao—RARGHH!” Shi Ying bit and tore the steamed bun right in front of Yang Menghuo.
“Did you see this, Husband Bao? I think our child will grow strong and powerful, since I feel like tearing all the Baobao in the world, HAHAHAHAHA!!”
Yang Menghuo gulped. He was sweating bullets, and he already imagined that his child would be as strong and stubborn as his wife.
Amidst her laugh, Shi Ying suddenly felt something. She looked down and said, “Husband, let’s go now. I need to give birth.”
…
“Wait, you’re not joking?” Yang Menghuo asked.
“No. Let’s go now, or I will give birth here,” Shi Ying said calmly.
“HOW COULD YOU BE SO CALM!?” Yang Menghuo went into instant panic mode. He carried her wife, and they went to the nearest hospital that was owned by Yang Menghuo.
Yang Menghuo kept yelling at the nurses and doctors in the hospital corridor as Shi Ying pushed with the hospital rolling bed.
Shi Ying rolled her eyes, “Relax, Baobao, why are you so nervous?”
“HOW CAN I NOT GET NERVOUS! YOU’RE NOT EVEN IN PAIN!!” Yang Menghuo yelled. He then glared at the nurse and continued yelling at them, making them all scared.
Shi Ying rolled her eyes, “Relax, I’m not in pain because our babies are strong. So I also get their energy.”
“That doesn’t even make sense—Dang it!” Yang Menghuo was scared because his wife was far too relaxed. When the rolling bed went inside, the nurse stopped him.
“Mr. Yang Menghuo, please wait outside,” she said.
Yang Menghuo was about to yell at her until he heard his wife suddenly warned him, “DON’T YELL AT THE NURSES! THEY’RE JUST DOING THEIR JOB!”
“Ugh, damn it!”
Yang Menghuo was forced to stay outside. He walked back and forth, waiting for the childbirth to be finished. After one hour, his parents, Mister and Madam Yang, came.
“How’s my daughter-in-law?” Mr. Yang asked.
“Is she in terrible pain?” Madam Yang added the question.
Yang Menghui sighed pitifully, “She’s not in pain at all, and she got me worried because of that.”
“Oh, don’t be, Mengmeng,” suddenly they heard the voice of Mother Shi from behind. She came with Father Shi after Yang Menghuo called them. “The women in our family has always been blessed with extraordinary strength. Don’t worry about her, she will be fine. Even during my pregnancy and childbirth, I played chess with the midwife and filled crosswords.”
“Yes, don’t worry about it,” Father Shi added.
…
Maybe Yang Menghuo was the one who got too worried here. While the parents were sitting leisurely, even Mother Shi and Madam Yang started discussing the possible name for the twins because Shi Ying and Yang Menghuo were yet to decide a good name for them.
After two hours, the door was opened, and the nurse said, “Mr. Yang Menghuo, Madam Shi Ying wants you to stay inside while she is doing her last push.”
Yang Menghuo nodded and went inside immediately. He was worried that something happened to his wife. He thought that his wife would be a mess right now, with sweat all over and crying out of pain.
But what he saw was Ying Jie, drinking tea while watching a comedy movie on her phone. She was sweating a bit, but she was definitely not in pain.
Shi Ying glanced at her husband and said, “Oh, Baobao, you’re here. I need you right now.”
“What do you want me to do? I will do anything—WHA!?” Shi Ying suddenly grabbed her husband’s arm and smiled. “I want to hold your arm while I’m giving birth to our children. I want your strength and gentleness at the same time.”
She glanced at the doctor and said, “We can start again.”
The doctor wasn’t so sure, but Madam Shi Ying said that she could give birth to both twins after her husband was here.
Nobody got a clue about what Shi Ying wanted to do next, but they followed. When the doctor started giving the sign for Shi Ying to push the baby out, Shi Ying suddenly Yanked Yang Menghuo’s arm and flailed him around like a rag doll.
“URGHH!”
“WHA—WHAAA!” Yang Menghuo was like a rag doll swinging left and right, up and down until he got dizzy. Shi Ying’s strength also caused his body to get smacked to the wall and floor until he was completely nauseous, he almost lost his consciousness a few times, but Shi Ying’s yank woke him up again and again.
“URGH!” Shi Ying did her last push, and the twins came one by one in quick succession.
The loud cries of babies filled the room as Shi Ying had successfully birthed twins.
The doctor congratulated Shi Ying and Yang Menghuo, “Congratulations, Master, Madam, you have a pair of healthy twin babies, a boy and a girl.”
Shi Ying was stabilizing her breath, and she told her husband, “Baobao, go and see your children for the first time. That’s the fruit of you demanding to do it literally every day.”
…
“Baobao?”
The nurse checked on Yang Menghuo and said, “Um… Madam, I think Master Yang Menghuo has fainted.”

Yang Menghuo opened the door with a smile on his face. His parents and parents-in-law were already anxious about the childbirth.
“How is it?” Madam Yang asked.
Yang Menghuo nodded and informed, “It’s a success. You have a pair of twins, boy and girl, as your first grandchildren.”
Everyone rejoiced. They asked whether they could see the babies now. But they weren’t allowed to touch the babies directly. Instead, they could see the babies from behind the glass pane later after Shi Ying was done with breastfeeding.
But before they went to check their grandchildren, Mr. Yang asked his son, “Why are you pale? And how did you get all those bruises?”
Yang Menghuo stared depressingly at his father and replied, “Apparently, Ying Jie wanted to hold my arm when she was giving birth. I call these my battle scars, a lot more memorable than my fight with my enemies.

Yang Menghuo returned to the ward and saw his wife was breastfeeding the twins. She looked content as the twins each occupied their mother’s breasts.
Yang Menghuo stared at his wife’s plump breast for a moment and swallowed his saliva.
“What?” Shi Ying asked.
“N—Nothing!” Yang Menghuo tried to brush that perverted idea in his head.
Shi Ying frowned, full of questions and suspicion, but then she asked the most important question, “So, we haven’t talked about names. You said that you already prepared it, but you want to keep it until the babies have been birthed.”
“Yes, I have names for them already,” Yang Menghuo smiled.
He gently caressed the baby girl since she was the one who came out first, Yang Zongying, which means that she is the beautiful, clever, and elegant one. She will be a warrior lady, just like you, Wife Jie.”
After that, he went to the other side of the bed and caressed the baby boy, “Your name will be Yang Renshu. You will be benevolent and have a great forbearance. I know you will be a great man in the future.”
“What do you think, Wife?”
Shi Ying smiled and nodded, “I like their names,” she looked at her babies and said, “Yang Zongying, Yang Renshu, I will make sure to be a great mother for you two.”
“And I will be a great father!”
Shi Ying and Yang Menghuo stared at each other full of warmth inside their heart, and Yang Menghuo kissed Shi Ying on the lips and on the forehead.
“Shi Ying, Wife, Jiejie… I love you. I love you so much.”
“I love you too, Yang Menghuo, husband, Baobao.”
