Six months before the present ti, Zhao Li and Zhao Lanying regularly visited Mingshen for Zhao Li's treatnt. It had been a few months since his treatnt had begun and the more days passed by, the more anxious and guilty he felt and the more he thought that he was giving needless hope to Lanying.
"I think that-"
Mingshen cut his annoying words off before he could complete his sentence. "If you say along the lines of giving up, then I will bury you right here," he sneered. "I, Yang Mingshen, are treating you. I won't let you give a blemish to my outstanding reputation. What if my Spicy starts to hate for it?"
"..."
He gritted his teeth. "I an to say that Lanying and I have been trying to conceive naturally, but she is not getting pregnant. Everyti…Everyti I see the hope shining in her eyes that maybe this ti, it will work," his gaze dimd. "I cannot watch that anymore. She doesn't show it, but I know that she is definitely getting disappointed every ti we fail!" He shook hard, his heart aching for his wife.
"And you want to stop here and disappoint her even more?"
He stiffened.
Mingshen dryly replied. "You are getting too impatient. Things take ti, idiot. Spicy wasn't out of coma for six months. There is another patient in my lab who still hasn't. dicine is not magic. So shut up and just do as I say. The whole bunch of you Zhao family are nothing but impatient fools. That idiot Mafia King used to hamr my phone with calls and ssages until I solved his relationship problems!" His gaze turned ugly.
In the end, Li agreed to continue his treatnt and went back ho though he was still dejected for Lanying's sake.
But when he returned ho, the atmosphere was more cheerful than usual. Lanying rushed to hug him with tears in her eyes. "Li."
His eyes widened, and he held her head. "Lanying, what happened? Why are you crying? Are you hurt anywhere?"
Her eyes ached as she looked at him. "Li. I am pregnant."
Li stared at her in silence for several long monts. "Huh?"
"I am pregnant. You are gonna beco a father," she burst into happy tears.
Li's ears buzzed with the beautiful good news for a long ti. Just an hour ago, his heart was enveloped with depression, but now it blossod with such happiness that he couldn't express it.
Tears slipped out before he knew, and he pulled Lanying to hug her hard. They spent their initial several monts, crying and hugging each other as this news of joy sunk in their hearts.
Many tis, Li had simply lost all hope. Even if Mingshen was helping him, he couldn't help but get doubtful. He used to feel envious of Wei, seeing him carrying his twins, Weiyun and Lii, in his arms. He used to feel jealous of the fatherhood that Wei enjoyed. But more than that, watching the twins made him feel how miserably he was failing Lanying and stealing the motherhood from her which she deserved.
But today, all that grief, sorrow and envy lted into nothingness. The burden in his heart lifted as if it was never there.
Before bringing it out to the family, they first visited Mingshen for a proper checkup. Li was t with Mingshen's taunting smirk, which made his brow twitch. His smirk clearly said, 'You doubted .'
"Fine. I admit it. I was wrong," he coughed.
"Good that you know your place," Mingshen smiled. "But it doesn't end there. Transfer two hundred million to my account by today."
He choked. "What? For what!?"
"Excuse ? You just doubted this venerable Yang Mingshen, and you say that you don't deserve a punishnt? You do and quite a hefty one at that," he laughed, "So cough out the money and shut up. And of course, my treatnt expenses will be charged differently~ You will need to write a big amount of cheque."
"..."
This robber!
Lanying's pregnancy turned out to be normal with no issues. It was a huge celebration in the Zhao family once they heard this news.
Zhao Weiyuan and Zhao Ninghong, in particular, were overwheld. The feeling of becoming grandparents was special and filled with bliss.
"I am gonna be an Aunt again!" Ruiling hopped around the whole villa, laughing in joy.
"I am gonna be an Uncle again!" FaiFai was the sa. "There will be one more cute baby in this house! Yippee!"
The sa happiness sparkled in Lihua and the twins' eyes too. Weiyun and Lii, around six months old at that ti, stared at Lanying belly as if they already felt the presence of their cousin with whom they will have loads of fun.
"Baaaaabaaaaa…!" They rolled on the bed with their lodious laughter ringing in the air.
Lihua cried. "I am so happy for you, Lanying! We both will be Mamas now! We can do so many things together now!" She sniffled.
Wei pursed his lips and glanced at Li with a hint of complaint in his eyes. "Tell Lanying not to make my wife cry."
"..."
Bro, you do understand that those are tears of happiness, right?
The later months of Lanying's pregnancy went smoothly under Mingshen's watch without any complications.
And today was the most special day when the child for whom Lanying and Li waited for so long would finally step into this world.
As Li held his baby daughter in his arms for the first ti, his vision blurred, feeling the warmth and softness of the little girl cuddling against his chest.
Lanying, too, watched them with tears in her eyes. More than feeling the joy of motherhood, she felt happy to see Li becoming a father. The love in his doting gaze was what she had wanted to see for all this ti.
"Lanying…Thank you for not giving up on …" he broke down. "I cannot thank you enough…"
She tiredly chuckled. "Silly. I love you, Li. How can I ever give up on you? So, what do you want to na her?"
Li said with all sincerity. "I want her to have a part of your na. So, she will be Zhao Lan."
