Tianye Mu took Xiran Xiao's another hand, placed it on his lips and kissed it. He sounded very guilty,
"It's my fault. I didn't take good care of you. It's all my fault."
Xiao's father said, "It's not your fault. We saw her fall down by herself. Xiran, when are you gonna grow
up?"
"Dad," Xiran Xiao grumbled, "You used to say that you wanted me to be your little princess forever, but
now you want me to grow up quickly."
"It was before your pregnancy. Now that you are with babies, of course I hope you can grow up quickly,
otherwise Tianye will be so tired from taking care of three children."
Tianye Mu couldn't help but smile. His eyes were full of tenderness, "It's okay. I am happy to take care
of them for the rest of my life."
Xiao's parents looked at each other, praising their son-in-law in heart. Although the Mu Family wasn't
as rich as the Xiao Family, as long as Tianye truly loved Xiran, it won't be an issue.
"Xiran, don't be afraid. All the pregnant women have to go through this step. Just grit your teeth and
push hard for a while, the baby will soon come out. Don't be afraid." Xiao's mother comforted Xiran.
She nodded, "As long as all of you are here, I'm not afraid."
The caravan drove fast on the road, and it only took ten minutes to arrive at the hospital. The
obstetrician and nurses were already waiting at the door of the emergency room.
As soon as the car stopped, a few experienced nurses immediately came forward to carry Xiran Xiao
off the car and pushed her into the hospital.
Tianye Mu held Xiran Xiao by the hand beside the cart the whole time. After a rough check-up, the
doctor said, "She has too little amniotic fluid in her stomach. We can't wait anymore. We had better
gave her a C-section. It's too difficult for the twins to be born naturally. Besides, they are premature. If
we don't do the surgery now, the twins are going to be in danger."
Tianye Mu immediately said, "Please do as you see fit."
Soon, Xiran Xiao was pushed into the delivery room.
After a local anesthetic was injected, she couldn’t feel her stomach.
Tianye Mu held her hand and knelt down beside the delivery bed to talk with her, "Do you want a son or
a daughter?"
"Son, he will look very much like you." She said feebly.
"I hope it's a daughter who looks like you. When she is three or four years old, I'll buy her lots of
beautiful dresses and dress her up like a little princess. When she grows into a teenage or in her
twenties, there will be a lot of young men going after her. By then I will have to make things difficult for
her suitors. I have to let them know that my daughter is not so easy to get..." Tianye Mu droned on
about the future of his unborn child. He couldn't bear to let Xiran Xiao talk too much, so he kept talking
himself.
Suddenly, a loud baby's cry interrupted his fantasy. Tianye Mu was startled. He turned around to see a
baby with blood streaks on the body which was held up in the air by the nurses.
"It's a boy. The father come quickly to cut the umbilical cord."
Tianye Mu's mind went blank. He didn't notice his feet were numb because of long-time squatting until
he stood up. He walked toward the nurse with the help of the delivery bed and his hand was shaking
with a pair of scissors.
"Cut it."
At first he couldn’t bear to do it. However, the nurse urged him, so he cut the cord.
The baby's cry was loud, but it sounded so beautiful to Tianye Mu. His heart was filled with great
happiness.
He used to think that his life was not complete until he found Xiran Xiao and could spent the rest of his
life with her, but today, he realized that his complete life could be even more perfect.
And this perfection was brought to him by his wife, Xiran Xiao. He would never be able to repay her in
his life.
While he was still deeply moved, another baby's cry sounded again. Another twin was born.
"Another boy, congratulations. Come, come, cut this umbilical cord."
Tianye Mu was immensely surprised. He moved numbly to complete all his mission. Both babies were
taken away to be cleaned by the nurses before he and Xiran Xiao could take a look at them.
The doctors began to stitch up Xiran Xiao's wounds, Tianye Mu came to her, kneeling down on the
floor. He eyes were brimming with tears. He bowed his head and kissed her forehead. A drop of tear
fell into her hair, "Xiran, thank you. Thank you for giving me two sons."
"But you have no princess." Xiran Xiao teased him weakly.
Tianye Mu shook his head, "Never mind. You are my princess forever. Having you is enough."
Xiran Xiao opened mouth and smiled, "Are our sons beautiful?"
"I haven't seen them yet," said Tianye Mu, rubbing her face with his fingers and saying gently, "But their
mom is so beautiful. I'm sure they can't be ugly."
"Their dad is handsome, too."
Tianye Mu nodded, "You're right. Now, close your eyes and rest for a while. When you wake up, you'll
be able to see them."
"Em, I'm so tired. I'll sleep for a while."
Outside the delivery room, Venus and Kerry rushed over. Although Kerry kept saying, "Walk slowly.
Walk slowly," but Venus was so anxious that she would definitely fly over if she could.
"Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao." Venus greeted Xiran Xiao's parents.
"Venus, what are you doing here? You're still pregnant." Xiao's mother asked with concern.
"I'm fine. How long has Xiran been in there?" Venus looked toward the door of the delivery room.
"Over an hour. She should be out soon."
"Oh, then she should be out soon." Venus repeated.
Kerry had been carefully holding Venus, and after greeting Xiao's parents, he said to his wife, "Sit down
and rest for a while."
Xiao's mother agreed and helped Venus to sit down, "How did you know that Xiran was in the
hospital?"
Kerry said, "Venus called Xiran, but no one answered, so she called to the villa. The people there told
us she had been sent to the hospital, so we rushed over."
When she heard the housekeeper say Xiran was in such a dangerous situation, Venus was so
frightened that her heart almost stopped beating. So she grabbed Kerry and ran to the hospital.
Xiao's mother looked at Venus's belly and said with a smile, "You must be having a daughter."
Venus was surprised and asked, "How do you know?"
"I can tell by the shape of your belly. Besides, a baby girl will make the mother appear more healthy.
Since you look so good, you must be having a daughter."
Venus's mother died early and she had no elders, so she rarely heard these words of experience,
which sounded amazing when she first heard about them.
"Auntie, you're amazing. It is indeed a girl."
"See? You and Xiran got pregnant almost at the same time, so it should has been eight months. You
should exercise more, which is good for giving birth." Xiao's mother took Venus's small hands and
suggested kindly.
The first time Xiao's mother heard about Venus was when Xiran introduced her as the younger sister of
Tianye Mu. Xiran also said Venus was a very good little girl. Xiao's mother had liked Venus very much
when she first met her. Now Venus had become Xiran Xiao's sister-in-law and the two girls had very
great relationships, so Xiao's mother treated Venus as her own daughter.
Venus said with a gentle smile, "I know. These days, I often go for a walk whenever I am free. I thought
Xiran and I would deliver the babies on the same day, but she was ahead of me. It seems that her two
babies can't wait to see the world.”
"I hope she and the two babies can all be safe." Xiao Jia's mother said worriedly.
"They will be. Don't worry."
As soon as Venus's voice trailed off, the door of the delivery room was pushed open from inside and a
nurse came out asking, "Who is Xiran Xiao's family?"
"We are." Xiao's parents hurried forward.
"Congratulations. Xiran Xiao has given birth to twins, both boys. The three of them are all safe, and
Mrs. Xiao is now having her wounds stitched up. Mr. Mu asked me to tell you not to worry."
Venus grabbed Kerry's hand in surprise, "Did you hear that? Two baby boys, gosh, that's great. I am an
aunt now."
Kerry hugged her back softly, "Yes, I heard it. Don't be so excited."
Apart from Venus and Kerry, Xiao's parents were also extremely excited. Xiao's father exclaimed, "God,
two baby boys were born. Xiran is so great. We Xiao Family not longer has just one heir."
"Yes, yes, we have two grandsons. We're grandparents." Xiao's mother was emotional, and her eyes
quickly became wet.
Over ten minutes later, Tianye Mu pushed his wife out of the delivery room, and the two babies were
washed clean and placed next to their mother. The two boys not only looked exactly like each other, but
resembled Tianye Mu and Xiran Xiao.
"Wow, the babies are so cute and beautiful." Venus exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.
"Of course. Don't forget who gave birth to them." Tianye Mu said proudly.
Kerry took a closer look at the two babies. He personally felt that although they were very beautiful,
they were still not as good-looking as Pingan.
Xiao's mother stayed by her daughter's side and looked at her lovingly, "Xiran has had a hard day."
Xiran Xiao was still asleep, with a faint smile on her lips.
After half an hour, the effect of the anesthetic wore off, and Xiran Xiao was awakened by the pain.
"Ah, the wound hurts so bad." She groaned. But she couldn't touch the wound, so she had no choice
but endure the pain.
Tianye Mu was distressed for her. He stretched out an arm, "Xiran, you can bite me if you feel painful."
"Go away." She scolded him. How could she bite him? "Where are my babies? I want to see them."
Tianye Mu quickly turned around to take one of the baby out of the stroller and showed him to her,
"Look, this is our son."
Xiran Xiao managed to have a look at it despite the pain. She said with a long face, "Why is he so ugly
and so red?"
Her mother by her side laughed, "What's ugly about him? A newborn baby like this already looks good
enough. His skin will turn white in a couple of days."
"Really?" Xiran Xiao was very unsure because she couldn't imagine that a baby that looked like a
monkey now could become a chubby white baby in a few days.
"Really. When you were born, you were uglier than them."
"That's great then."
As they were talking, a nurse pushed the door in, "You have woken up? Okay, then come down and
take a walk."
"Huh? Just after surgery?" Tianye Mu asked in doubt.
