"Pik-aboo !", Rong Xiao was playing with little Alix when Lu Wei entered the living room and sat down beside his wife.He smiled warmly at the pair of aunt and niece as he observed his two princesses laughing. He then kissed Ningtao"s forehead and took her in his embrace lovingly. Ningtao also rested her head on the man"s chest and inhaled his unique scent.
"So... how is my other sister-in-law ?"
"Well , your other sister-in-law might not be able to spend more time with her niece as she will be busy with the Rong group from now on. I am obviously going to be there for her , though.", the man replied.
"And what about Zhi Xi and his business ?"
"I will help him with it. Now , its time for Lu Wei to make a comeback. Otherwise , what will my daughter think of me ? An unemployed dad ?"
Ningtao burst out laughing at the man"s words ,"I dare her to think like that."
After sometime , Ningtao looked at the man seriously ,"Mom called. She wasn"t too happy to know that we have given birth to a daughter. Wei , should we take one more chance ?"
"Nope.", the man replied without even contemplating about the decision.
"But why ?"
"My daughter is capable enough.", the man stood up and walked towards the kitchen ,"I will make you a cup of coffee."
"I want the real reason , Wei. You always change the topic whenever you hide your true feelings. What is it ?", Ningtao tried to get up as well but her body was too weak. So she felt a sharp pain in her knees and it became difficult for her to maintain her balance.
Lu Wei quickly rushed back to hold his woman and helped her sit back down ,"Are you crazy ?! Tao , didn"t you listened to what doctors said ? You scared the c.r.a.p out of me just now."
When she looked at the anxious expression on the man"s face , Ningtao decided to remain quiet. She understood that looking at her like this must have been tough for him throughout this entire time.
The man took a deep breath before answering his wife"s question ,"I don"t want another child because this first experience was already painful for you. Tao , I can"t afford to lose you. You have no idea how scared I was when that accident happened and I saw you fainting. Even when I got up , my first concern wasn"t Alix. It was you. You are the only one I need. I don"t want to see you like this again. You have already done too much for me by gifting me Alix. I don"t want another child troubling you.
"For G.o.d"s sake , you are not a baby making machine. You are my better half and you are the Queen of Lu family. You rule over the hearts of millions of fans. Never forget your status and standing. And most importantly , never forget your importance in my life. Understood ?"
Ningtao was touched when Lu Wei expressed himself clearly to her. He loved her so much that he couldn"t even see her in pain. Her eyes turned red and she hugged the man tightly ,"But won"t your Mom and Dad want a grandson ?"
Lu Wei separated the woman from him and pinched her nose angrily ,"Both of them love you , Xinghe and Xiao more than me. Sometimes , I feel like they gave birth to me just so that I could bring you three in their lives. I really feel that I was adopted , you know ? They will be the last people wanting a "heir" for their family. They are already happy with their heiress !"
Ningtao smiled and nodded. The Lu family elders indeed supported her every decision. They never expected too much from her and only hoped for her and Lu Wei to be happy. When elders were like that , their presence was the most serene blessing one could get.
"Ah ! Young love...", Rong Xiao smiled dreamily.
Both the couples looked at the girl holding Lu Alix in her arms. The baby had already fallen asleep.
Rong Xiao pa.s.sed Lu Alix to Lu Wei and patted his shoulder ,"Now daddy time. I got to go. Bye !"
"Where are you going ?", Ningtao asked curiously.
"To save your brother-in-law Mo Zixuan"s relations.h.i.+p.", the girl winked and left the couples to enjoy their family time.
_______________________
Rong Xinghe had to shoulder two big responsibilities all of a sudden. Zhi Corporation was not her concern anymore because Lu Wei was capable enough to handle it along with Zhi Xi.
But she had to keep an eye on terrorist activities while she also had to ensure the strengthening of the Military on the other end. Developing Rong Business Empire from the scratch was another ordeal in front of her.
At such a time , she could not focus on her brothers and their relations.h.i.+ps. But thankfully , she had Rong Xiao by her side. Besides her surgery schedules , which were limited to three to four per day , she wasn"t involved in anything else. She simply wanted to have fun and Rong Xinghe had no plans to drag her into Rong Empire as well.
So the twins decided to split their responsibilities. Rong Xinghe was going to work for the nation and Rong Business Empire while Rong Xiao took the matters with their brothers" relations.h.i.+ps into her hands.
The candidates Rong Xiao was responsible for were : Mo Zixuan and Zhi Al. She had to bring back Cheng Tai and Mo Zixuan and at the same time , she had to arrange for more dates for Feng Mian and Zhi Al so that they could understand each other better. Su Rogguang"s proposal was something they all were working on together.

Rong Xiao soon reached MZX Studio. There was still no improvement in Mo Zixuan and Cheng Tai"s situation. They still had this awkwardness surrounding them.
"Hey guys ! Attention please. A small announcement.", the girl climbed on one of the reporter"s table and clasped her hands excitedly.
"What is it , Ms. Xiao ?", the people stopped their activities and looked at Rong Xiao.
"Well... Ever since MZX has reported the first hand news about Military Chief becoming Rong Empire"s CEO , our channel has acquired the top international ranking in terms of viewers. Congratulations !"
The staff cheered and hugged each other enthusiastically. They all had to work overtime to organize each debate and interview , after all.
As they listened to the ruckus outside , both Mo Zixuan and He Chen stepped out of their respective offices followed by other journalists.
Rong Xiao looked at her brother and winked at him mischievously ,"So... we should celebrate , shouldn"t we ? Not only have my sister achieved another milestone , my lovely channel has been acknowledged with praise overseas as well."
"Yeah ! A party should definitely be there.", some reporters encouraged the idea.
"It is final then. The party is on me. Tomorrow evening , 6:00 p.m. Elite Hotel. Look as hot as you can. "
Rong Xiao then jumped off the table and approached Mo Zixuan ,"Don"t you dare avoid the party ! Because if you do , I will get indescribably drunk. After that , whatever happens with me , you will be responsible for that."
"You !"
The girl didn"t bothered arguing with the man beside her and turned around to face He Chen ,"You can consider not coming , Ms. He. You are so busy nowadays , after all."
An ex-fiancee , not allowed !
