When Mo Zixuan told everything about his past with He Chen to her , Cheng Tai couldn"t help but feel disgusted. How could He Chen say such things about Rong Xinghe ? And she actually had the nerves to climb into Lu Wei"s bed when he was already married !She couldn"t believe that she fallen into such a woman"s trap and had wronged both Mo Zixuan and Rong Xinghe. How could she be so naive ?
The couple remained silent for sometime as they processed each other"s past experiences. After almost half an hour , Cheng Tai looked at the man ,"Zixuan..."
But before she could continue any further , the man stood up and shook his head ,"Tai , this is a decision concerning entire life. I need some more time to understand what I truly want. I forgive you. After the experience you had in your past , it was completely understandable for you to take note of outsiders" opinions. So don"t worry. I will not hold any grudges or hatred against you.
"But about love , I am not completely sure. No matter what , Rong Xinghe is my sister and she had been there for me when I was shattered , depressed and alone. As a brother , it is tough for me to see her being disrespected. After all , I know the real Rong Xinghe. I know the woman who has written her own destiny and who has fought death innumerable times.
"After being through thick and thin with her , it is difficult for me get back into this relations.h.i.+p. I am not rejecting the idea , but I can"t accept it as well. I... um... need some time. I need to think this through. You are understanding , right ?"
Cheng Tai smiled as tears slipped down her eyes ,"You have forgiven me. This is already the most beautiful thing that has ever happened to me. Zixuan... I can"t explain how happy I am that you don"t hate me anymore. Even if you don"t love me , you don"t hate me too. How can I thank you for your forgiveness ? I just don"t know...
"Take your time. Even if it takes years , I am willing to wait. If you ever decide to accept me again , I will be always there waiting for you. Never forget that. And even if you decide to move on , I won"t complain. I just have one last request. No other demands."
"What is it ?", Mo Zixuan looked at Cheng Tai.
"Can I hug you ? I want savour that feeling of warmth and safety in your arms. I promise I won"t ask for anything else more than that after this.", the woman requested hesitantly.
After some seconds of contemplation , the man finally nodded with a smile ,"Sure. Come here."
If not for their present and future , he could at least do this for the sake of their past.
Cheng Tai"s lips curled up in relief and her eyes turned red when the man said those three words to her. Without any second thought , the couple hugged each other tightly and none of them dared to separate for even a second.

As she looked at the man and the woman hugging each other , Rong Xiao jumped up on her office table and started dancing like a maniac.
YAY ! Finally , some progress !
So what if they hadn"t patched up. At least , they had a decent conversation. Now they both knew about each other"s past and would take that into consideration before coming to any decision. The girl quickly took a screenshot of the couple and sent it to Rong Xinghe.
When she got the message , Rong Xinghe was on her way to Lu family home with Xi Yuan.
Rong Xiao was still dancing on the table when Rong Xinghe replied back ,"Mission accomplished ! Now don"t be too intrusive. They are mature adults and can take their own decisions. If we disregard their privacy anymore , Bro Mo will definitely kill us. All we had to do was to make them talk to each other. Our role ends here. Quickly unlock the storeroom and get vanished from there. It"d be better if Mr. Mo won"t see you for at least two days."
Rong Xiao understood all of this as well. So she naturally followed Rong Xinghe"s advice. As soon as she unlocked the storeroom door , she didn"t even bothered informing the couple about it and fled away with the speed of light. She had to go underground for some days , after all !

Soon , Xi Yuan visited Lu family home with Rong Xinghe to congratulate the Lu family for the new arrival.
Lu Wei"s parents were quite impressed by the young man"s mannerisms and etiquettes , so Mother Lu naturally tried to s.h.i.+p him with her sworn daughter ,"So... Yuan er. Do you have a girlfriend ?"
Lu Wei and Father Lu were taken aback by Mother Lu"s words. Could she be any less obvious ? Father Lu cleared his throat ,"Don"t be too nosy !"
"I am just curious...", Mother Lu humphed.
Xi Yuan let out a laugh and kissed the back of the old lady"s hand ,"I wouldn"t dare to have thoughts about any other woman when a beauty like yourself is standing in front of me , Mrs. Lu."
This one sentence was enough for Mother Lu"s cheeks to turn red ,"Youngsters nowadays surely have an eye for looks."
Lu Wei : "...."
Rong Xinghe : "...."
Father Lu : "...."
When Rong Xinghe thought about how easily this man was able to wrap the mighty Mother Lu around his little finger with his sweet tongue , she realized that impressing the ladies of her family wasn"t going to be too much of a challenge for him. However , impressing the six tigers....
Now that was a tough nut to crack !
After sometime , Rong Xinghe came out of her daze and patted Father Lu"s shoulder ,"With this pace , you are going to be alone for rest of your life , uncle."
Father Lu humphed as he pulled Xi Yuan towards him and smiled evilly at him ,"Do you wish to survive this visit , young boy ?"
"Don"t scare him like that.", Mother Lu warned.
::::::::::::::::::::
"Waaaa ! Waaaa !"
"Look Alix ! Who has come to meet you !"
As soon as everyone heard the baby"s cries and Ningtao"s worried tone , they turned around to look at the mother-daughter pair. Ningtao was sitting on her wheelchair and was trying her best to coax Lu Alix , who was crying continuously.
Lu Wei and Xi Yuan rushed towards the duo worriedly. Xi Yuan didn"t wasted anytime and requested the couple ,"May I ?"
He quickly took over the child and started rocking her in his arms gently while Lu Wei helped Ningtao sit comfortably on the couch and helped her with her medications.
Ningtao wasn"t actually the concern , but Lu Alix was. It was literally impossible to make this child sleep whenever she cried.
However , when Lu Wei turned around to take Lu Alix from Xi Yuan after attending to his woman , he was rendered speechless by the scene. Even Rong Xinghe covered her wide open mouth in surprise.
Just in a rough time span of 30-40 seconds , Little Alix was sleeping soundly in her uncle Yuan"s embrace !
