"So this is how you escaped,"
Lan Qianqian smiled, leaning into Xuan Mohan's embrace.
Xuan Mohan raised an eyebrow, pinched the little woman's delicate nose, and said with indulgence, "What do you mean escaped? Do you think too little of your husband?"
Lan Qianqian giggled and dodged, almost falling off the bed.
"Don't fall!"
Xuan Mohan, who had just been contentedly holding his wife, quickly pulled her closer, his brows furrowed in worry.
Lan Qianqian saw this, reached out with her small hand to smooth Xuan Mohan's brow, and said teasingly,
"You're like this now, and there are still several months to go, what will you do..."
What could he do?
Xuan Mohan looked helplessly at his wife's playful actions. She had no sense of being pregnant, and he could only keep her by his side twenty-four hours a day...
"How did you know that the experimental center had an escape route underneath?"
Xuan Mohan lowered his head and glanced meaningfully at the little woman. "This is all thanks to Father-in-law..."
Back then, before Keli was perfected, his father-in-law had sent people in. The losses were heavy, but one of the severely injured people brought back a crucial clue.
Keli was ostensibly a place for experiments, but beneath it was a burial ground for countless corpses. All the "fresh blood" was contained within.
Although the mechanisms had been altered, they could not escape his eyes.
Ke Qian could have avoided this disaster, but his greed to witness their fate meant he could only become ashes in the conflagration.
Xuan Mohan's composure in the face of adversity and his strategic demeanor made him truly shine. Lan Qianqian couldn't help but move closer...
"Don't move around... or I can't guarantee anything..."
Almost as soon as Lan Qianqian made a move, Xuan Mohan's husky voice came from above her.
Lan Qianqian pouted, "I have a child in my belly, what can you do?"
What could he do...
"Does my Qianqian want to try..."
Xuan Mohan leaned down and threatened and enticed her by her ear.
"No... I still have..."
"She will be very happy to see her parents so in love."
Xuan Mohan, ignoring her protests, was about to kiss the little woman beneath him. He hadn't gone a day without thinking of her. If he couldn't touch her, he could at least collect some interest...
But just as he touched the little woman's lips, he heard a muffled voice.
"I have two babies in my belly..."
"..."
Xuan Mohan froze on the spot. What had the little woman just said?
However, the closed lips made Xuan Mohan doubt himself again. His unfocused eyes fixed on the full lips below, and he pressed down again.
"This pregnancy is twins."
Her lips moved, so it wasn't an illusion?
"In my belly are... two children?" Xuan Mohan asked tentatively.
Lan Qianqian looked at his reaction with amusement, wrapped her arms around Xuan Mohan's neck, and said sweetly in his ear, "There are two babies..."
Xuan Mohan was a bit flustered and got up clumsily, constantly looking down. "I... I didn't press on your belly, did I..."
Lan Qianqian deliberately put on a stern face. "You almost did just now, you have to be careful from now on."
Xuan Mohan nodded quickly, obedient as a child who had made a mistake.
But later, Lan Qianqian would know how terrifying Xuan Mohan's carefulness could be...
Unable to lift anything heavy, unable to carry anything, unable to walk, unable to exert strength...
...
Not long after Ke Qian fell, Lu Haoran also found the confession site with his men. In a dilapidated old house, they found Ke Ye, who was dead drunk, tightly clutching a pair of hair clips...
"He's been holding onto this?"
Xuan Mohan crossed his legs, his fingertips rubbing the delicate powder-blue hair clip in his hand, his usually imposing eyes narrowing slightly.
"What's wrong?"
Lan Qianqian walked down, yawning. Since getting pregnant, she felt sleepy all day.
Seeing her groggy state, Xuan Mohan's soul almost flew out of his body. He immediately got up to catch her, and by the time he reached the stairs, he had already scooped her up.
"...Let me down."
It was one thing for him to be unrestrained when no one was around, but now that people were present, he should at least show some restraint.
"I'm afraid of jostling the baby."
"..."
Mr. Xuan should go to the health check-up center and do some homework. Reading gynecology books every day, what exactly was he reading...
It wasn't until she sat on the sofa covered in plush cushions that Lan Qianqian saw what Xuan Mohan was holding and was immediately stunned.
"This is..."
"We found Ke Ye. He was very drunk and kept holding this."
Lan Qianqian took it and examined it closely.
"Young Master, how should Ke Ye be dealt with?"
"Throw him into..."
"Wait!"
As if sensing what Xuan Mohan was about to say, Lan Qianqian immediately stopped him.
She pursed her lips, and Lan Qianqian finally spoke, "Leave it to the law..."
Xuan Mohan looked intently at the little woman. "Why?"
Lan Qianqian opened her palm, the hair clip lying quietly on it. "When I was little, before I got lost, I met him. If it weren't for him, I might have been captured by human traffickers..."
If she had been in the hands of human traffickers, she might not be alive today. To some extent, she had to thank this childhood "big brother," but she couldn't forgive all his actions just because of personal matters.
Xuan Mohan was silent for a moment, then took the small hand in front of him. The next moment, the hair clip was in his hand.
He looked up at the bodyguard expressionlessly. "Leave him his life."
Sometimes, living with a clear conscience is more painful than death...
...
After dealing with the biggest threat, everyone else was busy. Even Normanis had to go abroad to handle some matters. Only Xuan Mohan stayed home to accompany his wife, and no one objected.
Because... he was busily working on various wedding arrangements. During this time, he took the little woman to City A and returned with the strongest security team to prepare for the wedding.
The wedding was unprecedentedly grand, with three handsome couples and the powerful alliance of the most renowned families.
The city's largest hotel and entertainment venues were booked. Guests attending the wedding not only received grand gifts but also enjoyed free services for the entire month. All hotels and restaurants, big and small, were packed.
This caused a city-wide sensation. The streets of various cities were filled with projections of this wedding, and millions of viewers sent their sincere blessings in the comments.
This was not only because their statuses were equal but also because each bride and groom seemed to be made for each other, so perfectly matched that they were envied. Beneath the dreamlike wedding dresses were their happy smiles.
Seven months later, Ryan, the largest hospital in City S, welcomed their adorable young master and young lady. The two babies had exquisite features, their small hands and feet opening wide as they cried loudly.
After a moment, they stopped crying together, smacked their little mouths, and began to wave their hands, clearly indicating they were lively and mischievous.
The baby girl's slightly opened eyes flashed with a fleeting blue gleam.
From birth, they were the center of attention and showered with love.
