Jinhai gave Huian the cold-shoulder. “Jing.”
“Yes, bro.”
“Call Xin to make arrangements to shift back here.”
Huian got ecstatic.
Yes! Jinhai is coming back! God, I’m so happy! Now nobody can separate me from my Jinhai.
But her happiness was short-lived.
“And you take care of Nana and her brother’s preparations to move in here.”
Jing gave a wide grin. “Yes, bro!”
Huian froze. Her eyes bulged out in shock.
“J-Jinhai, what?”
Even Nana had not expected this sudden twist, same as others.
Liu Hai shrugged. “What did you think? That we will let Nana fend off for herself and only meet her nine months later to take the baby? That is inhumane. She is carrying Liu family’s heir. We will take care of her and nurse her until she gives birth.”
Liu Chunhua nodded. “I don’t have any objections.”
Huian never imagined that things would suddenly leap in this direction.
Nana will stay here with us!?
“But-“
Liu Hai didn’t bother asking her opinion and straightaway headed to Nana. He held her hands in his and sobbed. “Child, I’m so sorry for being such a useless uncle. I said I treat you as my daughter, but I couldn’t give you justice. I wish thunder to strike me just now. Will you forgive your favorite uncle, please?” He pursed his lips. “It’s alright if you don’t want to see me or talk to me anymore.”
Jinhai and Jing twitched, seeing his overdramatic acting.
Nana was just about to say something when he continued, “Although I will be really sad if you don’t talk to me anymore. You won’t do that, right?”
Then why did you even bother to say that you are alright!?
Jing was starting to get a headache.
Nana’s mouth twitched.
The Liu family…doesn’t really let me talk.
She tried to smile. “Uncle, it’s not your fault. I’m not mad at you.”
Liu Hai took her in a hug. “Such a good child. Aish, some people need to really learn how to be selfless as you. Hogging everything to yourself can be dangerous. Just like how overeating will cause a bad stomach. Although that does not apply to me, overeating without getting sick is my special ability.”
Nana couldn’t help but chuckle lightly.
Huian clearly felt his jab at her.
Liu Chunhua felt as if it was high time to disown her husband.
“Jinhai.” Liu Hai said, “take her to her room. Jing, you show the twins.”
“En.” They both nodded.
Xiang Wei took a deep breath. “Alright, Jinhai. We will draft both the contracts tomorrow. My assistant will send them to you.”
“Hm.”
Huian hugged him. “Once again, thank you so much Mom and Dad. You proved that you still love me.”
Xiang Wei and Xiang Qingge merely glanced at each other and said nothing. Usually, he would pat her head, but this time he slightly distanced himself from her hug.
He smiled. “Your mother and I will leave now.”
“Okay.”
“And don’t create any trouble for Nana.” He narrowed his eyes.
“N-no Dad, I won’t. I already apologized, didn’t I?” She tried to keep up her fake smile.
Chen Liling talked to Nana for a while and left with Chen Guiren. At first, she felt horribly disappointed with her brother and nephew, but then she remembered what kind of cunning men both are. She knew something was definitely up.
Whatever it would be, she believed that it was the best for Nana.
—
Jinhai opened the door to the room and led Nana in.
“Walk slowly. There is no hurry.”
She sighed inwardly.
I’m pregnant, not sick, she thought.
Nana entered and found the room to be quite simplistic. The ivory-colored walls were pleasing to the eye. There were four small photo frames of different flowers hung above the bed. There was a bookshelf at the side, adding to the appeal. Naturally, the room was quite spacious, but not many things were there to fulfill that space.
Somehow she felt that this room should belong to Jinhai.
“Is this your room?” Nana asked.
Jinhai raised an eyebrow. “Why do you say that?”
“I feel that vibe. The room gives off a quiet and peaceful feeling, just like how you prefer to talk less. There is also not much furniture. You don’t like many things cluttered around you, right? Your office is also very similar to this room.”
Jinhai smiled and hugged her from behind. “En.”
He pursed his lips. “Nana, I’m sorry if we scared you. But you don’t have to worry about the contract. I-“
“Sshh.” She turned around and looked at him, giving a gentle smile. “You don’t have to explain yourself. In fact, I should apologize to you. I said I trust you, but at that moment, I couldn’t help but feel frightened.”
He shook his head. “No, you don’t. As a mother, your reaction was justified.”
She smiled. She asked a doubt. “If this is your room, then where does Mrs. Liu stay?”
“That is just another room I gave her. I never allowed her to have this room. But this is now yours.”
She didn’t know what to say.
But then a thought occurred to her.
Where will Liu Jinhai be? Will he stay with Mrs. Liu?
Her face fell, thinking about them sharing a room, but she didn’t want to show it.
Liu Jinhai noticed her gloomy face and understood. He teasingly smiled and whispered in her ear. “Don’t worry. My room is just next to yours.”
Nana’s face turned bright red, and she stuttered. “I-I wasn’t thinking about that.” But inwardly, she felt relieved.
“Sure…” he smirked. “By the way, you can totally sneak in my room at night and take advantage of me. I won’t expose you. I will just pretend to sleep.”
“You! Dream on!” She harrumphed and puffed up her cheeks.
Jinhai squeezed her cheeks and said, “Tomorrow, we will go to the hospital for your ultrasound as uncle Zhou said.”
She nodded.
