Chương 222: Check Up
"We already have a date for the baby shower." Han Meixiu turned around after ending the call from her Mommy Yi. She was wearing a comfortable dress long sleeved light grey wool dress that was up to her knees.
"When?" Liu Zijian asked as he took out a plain light colored white shirt and swiftly wore it.
"Two weeks from now." She answered as she placed her phone inside her dark grey pouch.
Liu Zijian nodded and buttoned up the remaining buttons on his shirt.
Han Meixiu slowly approached him while holding the tie with dark gray diagonal striped. Her movement was fluid when she tied the tie.
Seeing her serious expression and the fluttering of her eyelashes, Liu Zijian couldn't help but felt fuzzy inside. The few strands covering her forehead were elegantly scattered thus he moved his hand to moved them to the side of her face.
Like what she would always do after tying a tie, she would tip toe and give him a quick kiss.
But this time, he wasn't planning of receiving only a peck. Thus when she moved to give her quick kiss, his one arm instantly wrapped around her body and his free hand lifted her chin.
Han Meixiu who was caught off guard of the sudden intimacy, wanted to normally say something but her words were swallowed down. A muffled voice eventually came out.
The sudden kiss that was too passionate made her blush profusely. It was indeed unexpected.
When they separated, Liu Zijian contentedly smile.
"That should be the kind of kiss you'll give me after tying my tie."
Han Meixiu glared at him but didn't utter a single word of complaint.
"Let's go." She said to cover up her embarrassment. Her little fun of stealing a kiss from him was crushed today. He even demanded it to be fierce.
It wasn't that she couldn't do it. But it's not yet time according to her plan. She was still in the step of subtle kiss before moving to a heated one where she could kiss him to her heart's content, who would have thought he would cut the run and dived right away?
She was actually containing her smile when she walked out of the room holding her pouch.
It's not bad to skip some steps, right?

Like what Han Meixiu requested, she was the last person that Doctor Tang would see for today.
It was a good thing that their appointment was late afternoon as these past few days, Han Meixiu's morning sickness was getting more and more serious. Aside from the fact that she's feeling more fatigue than usual even though she didn't do much for an entire day, her body also felt heavy as in literally.
She already asked Liu Zijian if she's getting heavier every time he would carry her. But he would only answer 'it's fine' or 'it doesn't matter.'
The first set of words Doctor Tang said was her apologies.
"It was nothing. I hope Doctor Tang is okay now." Han Meixiu replied while subtly smiling showing that she perfectly understood. She really didn't mind.
"Thank you." Doctor Tang said before she asked Han Meixiu about her condition the past few days.
It was also the time, Liu Zijian came inside as he took a call from his brother.
After the usual questioning, the doctor lead the two to the next room where the ultrasound machine was located.
She also explained the relevance of the process and the things they would find out later on.
As Doctor Tang moved the transducer probe around Han Meixiu's belly while looking at the monitor, her smile deepened.
"Congratulations, you're having twins." She said while she smiled emitting a melancholic vibe.
The two were tongue tied and were both shock after they heard what the doctor said.
Doctor Tang then explained to the couple what they were seeing on the screen.
Their hands that were clasping together eventually tightened.
Liu Zijian even kissed the hand he was holding and a moisten crystal formed in the corner of his eyes.
They're not having only one but two babies.
Han Meixiu attention was glued on the screen as she couldn't contain her happiness. By the time she moved her gaze away from the screen to her husband, she saw that Liu Zijian's eyes were tightly closed.
It was as if he was praying?
His lips were curved up while they were rested on the back of her hand. It was as if he couldn't contain whatever emotions surging inside of him.
Two lives.
There are two lives inside her.
When he opened his eyes, his gaze was incredibly soft and pampering. The smiled lingering on his lips deepened by the minute.
He extended his other hand and gently caressed Han Meixiu's cheek. He then lowered his head and kissed her forehead
Han Meixiu felt a small drop of wetness on her head.
Maybe his feeling and reaction was too contagious or she was also too emotional resulting for her own tears to flow.
Indeed, someone could cry because of happiness.
Doctor Tang silently watched the heart warming scene.
Twins. She also had them. But she made an irrevocable decision that left deep scar not just to her but also to her twins.
The person who visited her that day and broke the paperweight, knew her twins.
At first, she thought that person might be a wife or a girlfriend of one of them. Thus, even though she was afraid of her outburst, she followed her only to lose her in the end.
Although she was shaken by the amount of anger she released, she didn't mind.
But when she was abducted for no apparent reason, she thought she might really see her twins. She actually didn't care if they would kill her as she was more than prepared to receive their wrath.
But before she could regain her full consciousness again, a chaos happened outside the room she was imprisoned.
Then someone came in and struck her again making her vision turned black.
When she opened her eyes, she was already in her own home.
She wanted to believe that all was just a dream but seeing the bruises in her hands, she knew the things that happened were real.
She then requested the hospital to give her the recordings of the day when those things happened. But unfortunately, the records were erased.
There was only one thing she could do for now, continue to wait.
Wait until someone would show up again. Although she already lost the paper weight, she knew her twins were already aware where she was.
Maybe, one day, they would visit her. She just wanted to see them. If they would express their anger and resentment, she's fine with it.
Looking at the young couple immersing themselves with the great news, Doctor Tang smiled. The twins would be really lucky having these couple as their parents.
"Doctor Tang, would you like to attend the baby shower of our kids?" Han Meixiu who was brimming with happiness invited the doctor. Her voice couldn't contain her delight and cheerfulness.
"Of course. Let me know when would it be." Doctor Tang responded. It wasn't the first time she was invited in this kind of celebration but for some reason, she's treating this a bit special.
It was maybe because they will be having twins, just like her.
"We'll inform you the exact date. It would be two weeks from now." Liu Zijian answered. His original cold and distant aura almost disappeared.
Looking at the young man, Doctor Tang could see how happy he was. His emotions was simply spilling out of his entire body.
"Alright." She responded. She wished deeply that her son would experience the kind of happiness Liu Zijian was experiencing...even without her around.
