Iris was montarily taken aback upon realizing what she was holding. She checked the other remaining items inside the paper bag and discovered that they were all ho pregnancy test kits.
Burning curiosity ignited inside her and pushed aside the anger and frustration directed at Jin Liwei. Why did he have these pregnancy test kits inside his drawer and yet didn’t even tell her? Did he forget? How long did he have these in his possession? Many questions popped inside her mind. They made her finally stop ignoring him and look at him without wanting to spit fire on his face.
Sensing her burning questions from her expression, Jin Liwei started explaining how he got the pregnancy test kits before she could even open her mouth and ask him.
"Wait a second. Did you just say that you sucked my breast so hard that night because you want to perform your own weird pregnancy test on ?!" Her voice was filled with disbelief. She looked at him like he was a stupid idiot for doing that. "Liwei, it hurt so much! Even just rembering it now is making my breasts hurt. We even fought because you did that!"
"I know," he said, sighing. "I’m sorry I hurt you that night. It was indeed stupid of to have done that."
Her lips curved down. Then she poured out all the contents of the paper bag on top of the nearest storage island. Despite her unhappy expression, her mouth still twitched seeing the number of pregnancy test kits. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

"I’m not surprised that it was the butler who procured these," she remarked in a wry tone. "He got so many in different types and brands. This reminds of the ti when he did the sa thing and filled the entire bottom of your suitcase with more than a hundred boxes of condoms. I never knew until that mont that condoms have so many types and flavours, just like candies. Kind of amazing, actually. They taste horrible, though. Ugh."
A faint smile gentled his tight expression. "Our butler is nothing but thorough."
"I noticed."
He hesitated for a mont before going ahead and asking, "Are you still mad at ?"
She stiffened. "Yes."
He sighed. "Let’s talk it out. Okay, love? Just like you, I don’t want us fighting either. But before anything else, I want you to know that I never want to make you feel like I’m caging you or controlling your life. I feel terrible that I made you think like that with my recent actions."
"So you admit that you’re wrong?"
His lips tightened but he still managed to speak in a calm voice. "I admit that I’m wrong in making a decision on your behalf regarding your work without consulting you first. That was a mistake on my part. I realize that now. But you must also know thatI co from a good place and I only want what’s good for you and our babies inside you. I won’t be sorry if it ans keeping you and our babies safe and healthy even if you think that my thods might be a little extre."
She didn’t reply but her expression indicated that she was listening to him. Her anger was still there but it wasn’t as volatile as earlier.This encouraged him.
"That’s why we need to talk, love. We’ll discuss how much workload you can have while you’re pregnant that is comfortable to both of us. Because to be honest, if it were up to , I don’t want you to work at all."
She glared at him after hearing the last sentence.
He held up a hand. "Hear out first, okay?"
She huffed at him but still nodded and gestured for him to continue.
"Thank you. As I was saying, I know that you don’t like to hear saying that I don’t want you to work but that’s how I feel, especially after you almost scared the soul out of when you fainted at the hospital last week. I thought that you fell into coma again."
"I’ll be more careful next ti," she said, her tone becoming softer. "But I was also frightened that day, you know. I thought that you...y-you—"
He hurried towards her and had already enveloped her in his arms before she could even react. "I know, love. I know. Both of us weren’t in our best states that day. But we’re okay now, aren’t we?"
She only hesitated for a second before his masculine scent flooded her senses with warmth and comfort, causing her arms to instinctively wrap around his waist and return his embrace.
"We might not always see eye to eye, but we’ll still be okay in the end, I promise," he said. "Just like you said, we’re lovers and partners in life. All the blessings, we’ll cherish them together. All our problems, we’ll resolve together. No matter what life throws down at us, no matter if they’re good or bad, we’ll face and tackle all of them together."
She rubbed her face against his chest and took several deep inhalations of his scent that she loved so much. "Yes."
Her soft answer made it feel as though a huge weight was lifted off his shoulders. He dropped a kiss on top of her head and tightened his arms around her, pressing her closer to him as if wanting to rge her body into his own.
"Don’t forget that we still need to discuss the issue about my work schedule," she reminded him. "There’s no way I’m going to completely stop working. I’ll continue fighting with you if you still won’t agree."
"Alright," he said, releasing another sigh. "But I also need to approve which work you’re going to sign on. They must be reasonable and lighter than your usual. We need to be careful, love. Rember what Second Brother told us. You’re carrying twins so the danger risks are higher for you and our babies."
"Fine." Then her head tilted to the side when she thought about sothing. "Speaking of twins, I’m curious about how we got them. Do you have twins in your side of the family?"
