Xie Shengjun took his fat fingers to his daughter"s hand and he was surprised when she curled tiny hand around it. She held his finger tightly as if telling him that she was with him, as if rea.s.suring him that she would scold her mommy for whatever mommy did to him during labor pains. "My cute little darling. She loves me so much…" he replied as he brought her face next to his and asked Xie Yuansheng to click a picture. "The first picture has to be with me!" he said. "I have undergone so much during my pregnancy."
While Keira stared at her husband, Xie Yuansheng laughed and took his phone out. As soon as he clicked there was a flash smile on the baby"s face miraculously. The picture that was clicked had both the father and daughter smiling. After the picture, Xie Shengjun took his daughter outside and showed him to all his security personals and shouted, "Your future Young Miss of the underworld!"
The security personals lauded their Young Master. They thought that what a modern man Xie Shengjun was. Instead of wis.h.i.+ng his daughter a nice house and husband, he wished her to be the future queen of the underworld!
Inside the room when Keira heard his announcement, she shook her head. No way would she allow her daughter to get into all that! So when Xie Shengjun came inside, she said, "I would never allow my daughter to get into your underworld!"
Xie Shengjun was crestfallen. Now who would take over his business? He said with a sad face, "But baby we won"t be having another baby now. Who will take over my business?" He was sure that they would not have another baby. His wife had endured so much pain that he would never ever subject her to it again. He was happy with his daughter. He would spoil her the most.
Xie Yuansheng chimed in, "Yes, who would take over the business if not Xie Rong?"
Keira replied, "Who said we won"t have another baby? We will have another one in three years."
Xie Shengjun looked at her with wide eyes!
Keira looked at Xie Yuansheng with wide eyes and asked, "Xie Rong?"
Xie Yuansheng went close to his brother who was holding the baby and said with a smile, "Yes, that is what she is, Xie Rong." He so wanted to touch her soft cheeks but Xie Shengjun smacked his hand away saying, "Xie Rong, tell your uncle to wash his hands."
Feng Xinying laughed at the scene in front of her. She said, "Xie Rong it is then!"
And the baby was named in the labor room itself. Feng Xinying doubted that Xie Yuansheng already had this name in his mind for the baby. She was sure that her parents must have also thought about it, but they all were just too joyous and a name from Xie Yuansheng showed how close he was to his family. It was a rare occasion. She could feel that her eyes were becoming misty when she saw the happy family they were.
In the second picture that was clicked with her mommy, Xie Rong"s smile had vanished. It was as if she had listened to her mommy shouting at her daddy. She would never allow that ever.
Once the st.i.tches were done, Keira was rolled out of the labor room and was taken to the VIP ward. It was early in the morning 4AM. Xie Rong was born at 3:15AM. Keira was so tired that she slept as soon as she was in the bed. Xie Shengjun couldn"t sleep at all. He had pulled a chair in front of the cradle where Xie Rong was lying and would keep looking at her until dawn broke.
Feng Xinying and Xie Yuansheng had left them and went back to their home. Once in the bedroom, Xie Yuansheng covered his wife with a blanket and after changing said, "Yini, I can"t wait to have my baby in my hands. How many months more do I have to wait?"
Feng Xinying wrapped her arms around her impatient hubby and with a smile said, "Three months."
"Noooo! That is like a lifetime! Also you were just two months behind Keira. Then how come now you are saying three months?" Xie Yuansheng felt cheated. He wanted his baby in two months. That"s it!
Feng Xinying flicked his forehead and said, "Keira had a premature delivery. Her baby was born a month earlier. I want a full term delivery, okay?"
Rubbing his forehead, Xie Yuansheng looked at his wife with his lips curved downwards. "I want my baby," he lamented as if he wanted his favorite toy.
Feng Xinying chuckled and kissed his lips. "You can treat me like a baby until then."
Xie Yuansheng gulped.
Suddenly Feng Xinying started throwing her hands and legs in air and the blanket got tossed out of the bed. She started wailing like a baby. "Waaaaa! Daddy! Waaaa!"
She wailed so loudly that the servants could hear and wondered what possessed their young miss.
Xie Yuansheng started laughing at his wife"s antics. He had to go and get the tossed blanket and cover her again. He wrapped his arms around her and kept his legs on hers. "I can"t treat you as my baby because I talk with my baby every night. Won"t she feel jealous?" Suddenly there was a kick in Feng Xinying"s stomach, which even Xie Yuansheng could feel. In fact there were several kicks. Feng Xinying was shocked that the baby had become so active.
Xie Yuansheng said, "See even my baby is protesting. So you better stay as my wife."
Feng Xinying pursed her lips at this seemingly unspoken bond.
They both were very tired and soon slept off.
Somewhere in Taiwan, a girl was abandoned by the very person for whom she had run away with, leaving her family behind. He had left her alone in a small one room flat and had been missing from ten days now. She kept calling his number but he never answered and one day the number was switched off. She was desperate. She didn"t know what to do, as she didn"t know anyone there.
In a short time of two months, there was nothing she could do as he hunted for a job. Initially everything was good, but later he became abusive.
When he could no longer bear the loneliness, he left her alone.
