Chapter 495: The most awaited cry
Chapter 495: The most awaited cry
“Mama! Zixin is bullying me!”
Yijie came running to Huo Xiao Fan and Huo Shen.
She chuckled. “What happened, my dear?”
Her big eyes got tearful. “Zixin is not let me playing with the blocks! Shouldn’t he listen to me?”
Serena picked her in her arms. “Aww, let Zixin come. I will give him a nice earful. Zixin! Come here!”
Zixin slowly peeked from behind the pillar. “Mom, it was not my fault. It was my turn to play with the blocks, but Yijie was giving some weird argument.”
Jianyu curiously asked. “What argument?”
“That I am supposed to respect her and listen to her because she is my Aunt.”
Liwei almost spat out the water he was drinking.
Chen Liling and Huo Xiao Fan burst into laughter.
“Hahaha! Yijie is smart.”
Zixin frowned in distaste. “How is she smart? She is only four years old. Clearly, I am older than her. How can she claim as my Aunt? Only Aunt Nana and Aunt Huian are my Aunts,” he seriously nodded.
Well, logically speaking, Yijie was Serena and Liwei’s younger sister, so technically, she was Zixin’s aunt, but because of the big age gap, she hardly looked like that.
Yijie said, “No! Bro Liwei said that I am Zixin’s aunt. So he should treat me with respect.”
Everybody stared at him.
“What? I am not wrong, okay? So what if she is younger? Hierarchy wise, she is indeed an elder to him.”
Serena laughed. “Big bro. You don’t expect Zixin to call Yijie Aunt Yijie, right? I mean, she is just four. Addressing her as Aunt will be…”
He snorted. “He doesn’t have to address her like that, but she can surely use her position to her advantage.”
Zixin said, “Uncle Liwei, you are evil.”
Liwei rolled his eyes.
Chen Liling sighed. “Anyway. Just let her play with your blocks. They are not going anywhere, but Yijie and the others will soon leave, right?”
He thought and touched his chin. “I guess I can accommodate her then.”
Serena said, “Alright! You guys keep talking. I need to tell the good news to Nana! Gosh, she must be waiting for my call! I am so dead.”
“Best of luck, Serena~~” Jianyu chuckled.
“Shut up. I am going to put all the blame on you if she gets mad.
“Hey!” Jianyu began to sweat, “don’t do that, okay?”
The villa, like that, echoed by their cheerful laughter.
Time passed by, and in the next three months, Serena immediately started her treatment regimen from Dr. Lin. Under her continuous monitoring, Serena’s condition slowly began to improve.
Four months later.
Dr. Lin read the test reports. Serena and Jianyu were nervously waiting for her to speak in her cabin.
“Dr. Lin…”
She looked at them and smiled. “Congratulations. Mrs. Chen is pregnant!”
For a moment, they felt as if they were dreaming.
“R-really?” Jianyu could hardly contain his excitement. Serena wiped the corner of her eyes and looked at her belly.
She softly touched it.
You are here…you are finally here…
Dr. Lin nodded. “Yes, Mr. Chen. You are going to be a father.”
“Jianyu…”
Serena was laughing as tears streamed down her eyes. “We did it, Jianyu. We did it…”
He was in a daze, but then the dam finally broke down. He pulled her in his arms and hugged her hard.
“Serena, we are going to be parents again. I-I can only thank you for working so hard.”
“Idiot. It was not just me. You supported me at every step, and that gave me the strength to move on. We both worked hard.”
Jianyu quickly asked Dr. Lin, “What is her condition? I mean, I know she is fine, but…”
“Don’t worry, Mr. Chen. Her reports are normal. There is no complication in her pregnancy.”
“I see…” Now he was fully relieved.
“Dr. Lin, I…we don’t know how to thank you. This is a big day for us, and we came here all because of you.”
Serena nodded hard. “Thank you so much! You made the impossible possible for us.”
She shook her head. “It’s my job. I am really happy for you two.”
They smiled. “Thank you once again…”
Soon, they gave the good news to everybody, and as expected, everybody was thrilled.
Nana was the one most excited, even more, excited than the mother herself. She visited the Chen villa so often that even Jinhai complained about the lack of her attention.
“Serena can only eat the food made by me! Of course, I have to visit her. Plus, I am always excited to meet my unborn nephew or niece.”
“What about me?” Jinhai whined, “I will punish you if you forget me.”
She grinned and pinched his cheeks. “You are not pregnant, hubby. It’s Serena. She needs me. It’s only for a few months.”
The kids only pitied their father because they didn’t mind Nana going to the Chen villa. They always accompanied Nana and played with Zixin, so they were set. Poor Jinhai could only grudgingly wait for the months to get over.
Nine months later.
“Ahhh!!!”
Serena was going through her labor while Jianyu was nervously pacing back in the corridor.
“Ahhhh….!!”
Chen Liling stopped him. “Stop! You are making me dizzy.”
Chen Guiren didn’t look like it, but he was nervous too in his own way.
Nana was continuously praying to let everything be alright.
Zixin tugged his pants, and he looked at him with a sparkled gaze. “Dad! Am I getting a sister? Or a brother? Tell me. Tell me!”
Jianyu nerves slightly calmed down by his son’s question. “Well, that is a surprise for me too. Who do you want?”
“Hmm. I thought about it a lot but couldn’t decide. So I am fine with both!”
“Hahaha,” he ruffled his head.
Almost five hours later, they finally heard the baby’s cry.
Jianyu froze.
“Ahhh, Jianyu!! Did you hear that!?” Chen Liling squealed in delight. “It’s your baby’s cry! Guiren, our grandchild is here!”
Chen Guiren felt emotional too, and he slowly nodded.
Following the first cry, a second cry came too.
Everybody was dumbfounded.
Huh? Two cries?
A few minutes later, Dr. Lin and a nurse came out, holding two babies in their arms.
She smiled. “Congratulations, Mr. Chen! Mrs. Chen gave birth to twins. A boy and a girl!”
