After the first month of the pregnancy, Xu Lifen noticed that the state of things had inexplicably gone from Chen ili being a gestational surrogate and carrying her's and her husband's children to Chen ili just being pregnant with Han Tao's twins.
No one treated Xu Lifen like the mother of the children and even when she tried to give suggestions and be fully involved in the birth process like was originally intended, the others just hushed her, ntioned the accident where she'd lost her baby and called her ignorant.
Three months into the pregnancy, the other won suggested that Chen ili was moved from her own wing, that she had originally shared with Han Jinhai, to Xu Lifen's own family wing and this was allowed by the Han Madam.
There were tis when Chen ili would bypass Xu Lifen and go straight to Han Tao with a look of long sufferring to talk about her various experiences in the preganancy and Han Tao, who had always been a seemlingly busy man, would have ti to accompany Chen ili with a look of guilt, deep gratitude and goodwill on his face.
Soon enough, Xu Lifen couldn't take it anymore and requested that she be in sole control of the process and would prefer it if Chen ili ca to her, a fellow woman who had more chances of empathizing with the pregnancy worries, instead.
Chen ili had smiled warmheartedly and agreed quickly but this only made the other Hans to dislike Xu Lifen even more. They felt that Xu Lifen's attitude made it seem like she didn't want Han Tao to be involved in the pregnancy but they were also his babies!
At so point, the Chens began to cause trouble. Although they'd been aware of the entire ordeal right from the start and only agreed because Chen ili had wanted to do it, they soon began to feel like their Chen ili was being used by the Hans.
Since they were also a traditional family, they felt that every mother deserved to have the child they personally gave birth to so with that logic, the babies rightfully belonged to Chen ili.
To this, the Hans just replied with a placating smile and halfhearted words weakly saying that the babies were Xu Lifen's and blah, blah, blah. They were so unconvincing in their support that Xu Lifen scread furiously at every one of them.
From that mont on, she brought up her initial idea of moving out of the Han family ho with Han Tao and their children once they were born. Han Tao didn't even consider it before refusing strongly so she took back her words.
Finally, the twin boys were born in the tenth month.
Xu Lifen was glad as she felt all her troubles were over but when it reached the ti to handover the babies, Chen ili looked to the other Hans and good naturedly said that the kids were so small and pitiful. Rather than bottle feeding them like Xu Lifen planned to, wasn't it better if she just fed them directly?
The others felt that this made sense. Afterall, breastfeeding had always been a better option right from the ti of their ancestors and they wanted the boys to have the best in order to grow up strong and smart.
Xu Lifen went crazy and looked to Han Tao for help but the man in question was once more looking to Chen ili with guilt, deep gratitude and goodwill so she painfully choked on her words -effectively conceeding.
The Hans all unanimously decided that the twins would move into Chen ili's room so she could take care of them better and feed them imdiately the situation arose.
Whenever Xu Lifen wanted to bond with the babies, it was simply one excuse or the other. It was either they just fell asleep after eating or that she needed to be watched so as not to clumsily harm the kids as she'd done with the child she'd conceived.
It began to appear as if Chen ili and the Hans were all delibrately keeping Xu Lifen from her kids and whenever Xu Lifen scread about it, Chen ili broke down in tears and denied the accusations whilst everyone else called Xu Lifen paranoid and unfit to have access to their precious heirs with her crazy state.
Once this finally reached Han Tao, the man rely looked at Xu Lifen in disappointnt and adviced her to behave as Chen ili was doing this for Xu Lifen's own good.
At that mont, sothing finally snapped in her head. Xu Lifen refused to take it anymore and clamored to leave the Han family with her kids. She didn't want to marry Han Tao anymore.
After nurous struggles, she finally succeeded and ran away with her babies.
In the Han family ho, everybody went crazy and cursed Xu Lifen to die. It was so hard for them to have an heir and now two had been born yet the uncouth woman had selfishly snatched them away.
Xu Lifen finally decided to leave them an opening and give Han Tao access to his kids to be fair but the Han family had still cursed her and sympathized with Han Tao and Chen ili as if the both of them had lost their children because of Xu Lifen's decision.
Han Tao soon beca saddened at living seperately from his kids. This was never what he wanted. He couldn't understand how Xu Lifen had gone from the sweet woman he married to what she was.
Chen ili was also saddened at losing the babies she'd painstakingly carried for ten months.
Due to the common plight of 'losing their kids,' Chen ili and Han Tao beca close. Seeing Chen ili's kindness and warm nature, old and buried feelings began to flow once more in Han Tao's heart.
In fact, Han Tao and Chen ili had been in love with each other even before she married Han Jinhai. They had been secretely dating in high school.
Han Tao had graduated first and joined the police force whilst Chen ili had graduated two years later and proceeded to go abroad to study dicine in university. The different life paths had caused the love birds to be apart for a while.
Once Chen ili returned, she'd heard the news that Han Tao was dead -due to a mission that had falsely proclaid him dead- and she was heartbroken.
She'd always considered the Han family her end goal and in the end, decided to settle for Han Jinhai. Who knew that Han Tao would return six months into her marriage with his younger brother? Chen ili regreted deeply but there was nothing she could do.
Han Tao was also very devasted by Chen ili's and his brother's marriage.
When Han Jinhai died six months later, Chen ili was sad but couldn't deny the hope that sprang up in her heart once more. Sadly, she knew that the Hans would never let Han Tao get married to a widow so she opted to stay.
Watching her love from afar was also good.
With Xu Lifen leaving with the twins, Chen ili automatically beca eligible for Han Tao -since he'd also been married once- and the two decided to get together with the Hans backing them in satisfaction.
Afterall, Chen ili had carried Han Tao's babies before, she should be quite fertile.
At this mont, Chen ili was still a little sad at the loss of 'her kids.' So of the Hans were also angry that Xu Lifen had taken their heirs away so they colluded with the Chens and set up an accident for Xu Lifen.
In the end, Xu Lifen lost her life and her twin boys were taken away and given to Chen ili. Both Chen ili and Han Tao had three more boys but in the end, the inheritance of the Han family was handed over to the first born son that Chen ili had given birth to when she got together with Han Tao.
