Chapter 405 - The Mafia King V/s His Ex-wife
Mingshen observed her. She seed to be better, but she definitely needed a checkup just to be sure.
"I wonder if the cortisol have stopped it's fun ga of running all around in your body."
Lihua frowned. "What?"
"As I expected from you. I wondered what would have been wrong with you if you hadn't asked that question."
Lihua gritted her teeth.
Wei pursed his lips and leaned forward. "Cortisol is a stress hormone."
She looked at him and quickly glanced away. Mrs. Zhang was quick to realize it. "Stress isn't good for a pregnant woman. You were all so panicked and anxious now. Lihua, you need a checkup."
"Oh."
Mingshen stared at the elderly woman with great amusent. "Only if I had been born much earlier, I would have married you. You are quick for the uptake. I like won like you."
Everybody's mouth twitched. Mrs. Zhang couldn't believe that she was being flirted with at this age when she was already a grandmother.
"Alas…" Mingshen sighed, "I already got my Spicy~ I am very loyal to her 'heart,'" he smiled.
Their mouths twitched again.
What kind of a na is that?
Lihua really, really didn't want to ask this, but curiosity got the best of her. "What kind of a nickna is that? Who is Spicy?"
Mingshen raised his brow. He closed the distance between them and leaned his devilishly handso face towards her. He whispered, "Who do you think Spicy might be, little chilly?"
Wei's mood turned gloomier seeing them standing so close. Imaginary mushrooms popped on his shoulders in depression.
"Don't stand so close to her…" he mumbled. He wanted to pull Lihua back, but she wouldn't like him touching her, now that he already kissed her.
Lihua furrowed her brows. "How would I know?"
"As expected from you again. I wondered what would have been wrong with you if you had guessed my aning."
Her nostrils flared, and she killed Mingshen a thousand tis in her mind.
"I don't want to know it either!" She fud and harrumphed.
"Of course, you wouldn't want to. Your brain hasn't developed to that extent yet."
Lihua took a sharp breath and pushed him away.
Wei frowned and warned Mingshen in a stern tone, "Don't bully Lihua."
Mingshen simply snorted.
Mrs. Zhang asked, "So if Jiang Wei is here then…" she looked towards the ward.
Mingshen chuckled. "All to keep appearances. On that note, that decoy is alright. It was all staged anyway."
"For Jiang Shan."
Mingshen bead. "Your intelligence is making a coback!"
"..."
He sneered. "I had to be here because the Jiangs have always used the Yang's for all their dical stuff. Treatnt, torture whatever. As long as they have to do sothing in the dicine field, they will always call us. And so I am here. In case sobody is keeping an eye on our movents. And sobody is. My service is not free of charge, of course~"
"But nobody from the family was here-"
"They were. Just before you ca. Aunt Yubi did so fabulous acting by shedding tears. Uncle Weizhe showed nothing at all. He did fabulous acting in his own way."
Wei nodded.
They did a quick check and scan of Lihua, and everything was alright. The ultrasound then echoed a series of soft sounds.
Lihua and Wei were dumbfounded.
Mingshen said, "The baby's heartbeat can be heard as early as by fourth to fifth week. It's faint, but it can be detected. That is your baby's heartbeat you are hearing."
Mrs. Zhang had tears in her eyes. "Oh my... Lihua. It's your baby."
Lihua stared at the monitor and heard the tiny heartbeats. Wei was so stunned that he couldn't move. The parents' eyes had turned misty as they saw and heard their baby for the first ti.
Wei trembled and wanted to hug Lihua. Tears spilled from his eyes. Sothing stirred in his chest, and a force of a strong emotion engulfed his heart that he never felt before.
Until now, he just knew about their baby's existence. But now he was watching him. He was hearing him.
His hand trembled as he touched his chest. So many feelings were riling inside him.
Fatherhood…
The sinking of that word brought joy and happiness in him but also made him cry at the sa ti.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Wei, and her heart clenched in pain. She felt his genuine emotions and the overwhelm he must be feeling. Only if the situation hadn't been so complicated, they would have enjoyed this mont together.
Lihua wondered how blissful it would have been if Jia was here too. She would have felt the happiest about welcoming her nephew or niece in this world. She would have pampered him so much.
Lihua looked at the monitor again.
Then Wei and Lihua unanimously spoke.
She suddenly burst into tears. "I cannot see my son. Where is he?"
"I cannot see my daughter. Where is she?"
Mrs. Zhang choked.
Is that why you two are crying?
Mingshen grimaced.
These two idiots!
Then there was silence.
Lihua and Wei looked at each other. "What are you talking about? It's a boy."
Wei blinked his eyes. "It's a girl."
Mingshen smiled, but his gaze wasn't really smiling.
"When did you two beco doctors to know the gender of your child? Guess I am useless then."
Lihua frowned. "I don't need to be a doctor to know that. I feel it. It's a boy."
Mingshen wanted to strangle her.
Feel? You just fucking feel the gender?
Wei hesitated. "I-It's a girl."
It was hard for poor Wei to speak against his woman who he treated as the ultimate Goddess.
"It's a boy."
"I-It's a girl."
"I am the mother. I know it."
"I-I am the father. I know it too…"
He, who always took Lihua's side no matter what, was now really finding it difficult to go on.
"It's a boy," Lihua narrowed her eyes.
Wei looked away and his voice was almost a whisper now, "It's a girl…"
"And you two are fucking idiots!" Mingshen glowered as he finally lost his patience.
