Yang Qian entered the Huo Mansion again.
At a glance, she saw Huo Cheng holding a baby in his arms. Her eyes lit up immediately and she rushed over.
"Let me have a look!" Yang Qian pleaded, staring eagerly at the baby.
Huo Cheng, who had just learned how to hold a baby, was skeptical that the newcomer knew how to do it.
Holding the baby and patting his back, Huo Cheng asked, "Can you hold a baby?"
Yang Qian was so excited that she could hardly contain herself.
She nodded excitedly. "Yes! I've held all my cousins' babies!"
Huo Cheng was left speechless.
Gu Sisi also walked in from the door.
She took the baby from Huo Cheng's arms and placed it in Yang Qian's.
"He's so tiny," Yang Qian murmured involuntarily.
The baby's little hands were so small, and his chubby cheeks were so cute. She affectionately pressed her face against his, and when the baby stared at her with his big eyes, Yang Qian couldn't help laughing.
"I'll just leave this teacup here," Sister Hu said as she saw Yang Qian holding the baby. She placed the teacup on the coffee table.
"Thank you, Sister Hu," Yang Qian said warmly. She had stayed in the Huo Mansion for a while.
She glanced at the coffee table and noticed there was a tea tray with two cups on it. She raised her eyebrows, finding it a bit strange, but didn't think much of it.
Soon, she was distracted by the baby who looked like a mini - version of Huo Cheng with a hint of her own features.
She played with the baby and asked curiously, "Hey, Sister Sisi, what's this baby's name?"
For now, she could only call the baby "baby".
Both of them were looking down at their tea, seemingly avoiding this question. Yang Qian just asked casually and didn't notice anything wrong with their expressions.
"He doesn't have a name yet," Huo Cheng said indifferently, as if answering an unimportant question.
Since the baby was brought back, they had tacitly avoided the topic of naming. Because they were twins, they should name them together. But they hadn't even seen the other one. So they decided to wait until they brought both babies back before naming them.
"I see," Yang Qian said with a beaming smile as she stared at the baby. Watching his eyes roll around, she laughed. "Then I'll just call you baby."
Yang Qian thought that maybe wealthy families were more particular and needed to think carefully about a name, so they hadn't decided yet. With this in mind, she didn't ask further.
When this question was brought up, Gu Sisi's mood clearly dropped. She hugged the teacup and stared blankly. Huo Cheng put his arm around her shoulder. Words were unnecessary.
Gu Sisi sighed deeply and leaned on Huo Cheng's shoulder.
In the days to come, they couldn't relax for a moment. They had to fight for the reunion of this small family.
Just then, a voice broke the silence.
"Oh my god, I'm going crazy!"
Everyone in the living room had different expressions.
"Don't worry. The doctor will be here soon," Huo Cheng said calmly to comfort the speaker.
After all, this person had helped him and ended up in this situation, although the subsequent development was quite unexpected.
Gu Sisi was very curious. She turned her head and whispered, "Is Jiang Lihao here?"
Before Huo Cheng could answer, Jiang Lihao came out of the guest room downstairs and walked towards them. When he saw more people in the living room,
There was a look of panic on his face. He was afraid that his reputation would be ruined.
Yang Qian looked a bit uncomfortable at first, but quickly regained her composure.
The three of them looked over and stared at Jiang Lihao at the same time.
He took a few steps back and touched his face. "Why are you all staring at my face? I'm not especially handsome today!"
Gu Sisi frowned. "I'm just curious why you came out of there?"
She pointed behind him and then looked at Huo Cheng puzzledly. "What did you mean by saying you were looking for a doctor?"
Huo Cheng was about to smile and answer when Jiang Lihao, who sensed a crisis, covered his mouth in a flash.
"It's nothing, sister - in - law. It's just that... I've been very weak lately. I've taken a lot of tonics but it hasn't helped, so I came to Brother Huo for help," Jiang Lihao said, staring at Huo Cheng and threatening him with his eyes. When Huo Cheng averted his gaze, he let out a sigh of relief and continued.
"Weak?" Gu Sisi sized Jiang Lihao up and down.
The more she thought about it, the more something seemed off.
Did he dig his own grave?
He felt uncomfortable under her gaze and quickly hugged himself. "It's not the kind of weakness you're thinking. If you don't believe me, ask Brother Huo!"
Gu Sisi looked at Huo Cheng along his finger. He just shook his head slightly and didn't give any explanation.
It seemed that he couldn't escape this topic.
"Where's the baby?" he tried to change the subject.
Following the couple's gazes, he saw a person sitting on the sofa with a baby in her arms, a position that was out of his sight before.
Both of their expressions were a bit strange.
The atmosphere gradually became a bit subtle. Huo Cheng and Gu Sisi quickly noticed something was wrong.
"Do you want to hold him?" Yang Qian asked first.
The baby stared at Jiang Lihao cooperatively, his bright black eyes blinking.
Jiang Lihao looked a bit strange and waved his hand. "No, thanks. I have something to do later."
Maybe he would have to go to the toilet again.
He looked back and squinted at Huo Cheng, silently mouthing, "When will the doctor come?"
He really couldn't hold on any longer, and he couldn't afford to make a fool of himself now!
"I don't know," Huo Cheng mouthed back seriously.
Seeing the murderous look in Jiang Lihao's eyes, he secretly smiled, stood up, and walked towards the door. "I'll go make a phone call."
With that, he left them.
Jiang Lihao was relieved to see that the two women were focusing on the baby.
He slowly sat down on the sofa and held still, afraid that the "crisis" would come earlier.
As he sat there, his body stiffened, but he didn't dare to move, for fear that it would speed up the process. At least for now, his stomach wasn't reacting. And it seemed like Huo Cheng wasn't coming back anytime soon.
"Why hasn't Brother Huo come back yet?" he forced a smile.
Gu Sisi turned to look at him and noticed his abnormality. Connecting it with his words,
She frowned and said, "Shall I go and hurry him up?"
"No, no," Jiang Lihao didn't want to make a big deal out of it, but he was already on the verge of collapse. He stubbornly said, "I was just asking casually."
Gu Sisi held the baby and thought of the baby she had been pregnant with before.
She sighed. "I really owe you guys a lot that time."
If they hadn't arrived in time, maybe the baby in her arms now and even she herself might not be in this world.
"We couldn't just stand by and watch," Jiang Lihao comforted Gu Sisi. Then he turned to look out of the door, silently shouting in his heart, "Come back quickly! I can't hold on any longer."
