Novel Full Chapter 903: Congratulations congratulations
Jin collapsed back on his bed, heaving a deep breath of relief. The Summit was finally over. He loosened his tie and dumped it aside.
*Meow*
Ai-chan was staring at him, her eyes reflecting worry. It made him chuckle and he patted the top of her head.
“Why are you looking like that?”
*Meow*
She nudged her face against his cheek and settled beside his face. Jun-cute was already royally seated on his chest.
“Hahaha, you two are cute as always. Don’t worry. I am totally fine.”
Jun-cute only snorted at that, making his brow twitch.
Suddenly, the door banged with a zesty excitement. “Jin! Jin! Jin!”
Xing Bi pounded on the door with an excitement like never before. “Open the door quickly!”
He tilted his head, confused. “What got into her…?”
Carrying the two cats in his arms, he opened the door to see a brilliantly shining Xing Bi standing before him.
“You are shining too much, sister-in-law. What happened?”
“You will shine too once you hear the news. Come quickly to Jun and Ai’s room!”
Bro?
When they reached his room, he saw Jun’s eyes shedding tears. Ai was beside him lying on the bed.
“…”
Huh?
“B-Bro, why are you suddenly crying?”
Maybe Zhou Ai got really hurt somewhere…
Nana clapped her hands in delight. “Ai is pregnant!”
His eyes widened in shock. “Oh…Congratulations Bro!”
The shock soon turned into pure and genuine joy and his expression brightened. “But why are you crying? Shouldn’t you be celebrating?”
Ai helplessly touched her cheek. “Jun had cried a lot too when I revealed him about my first pregnancy. He is a softie.”
“I am not crying!” He said, while rubbing his eyes.”
“Then what is that coming out of your eyes and rolling down your cheeks?”
“S-shut up. These are not tears at all.”
Her brow twitched. Enjoy exclusive chapters from freeweɓnvel.com
The twins grabbed Jun and squished their brother in their arms. “We will becoming uncles again!”
Jinhai’s warm gaze expressed his bliss too. He wondered if it would be a granddaughter this time. Thinking about that, the flowers bloomed even more.
Finally, Jun calmed down and he hugged Ai against his chest. “Thank you…”
“Hehe~”
Xing Bi and Leina cried. “Ah so romantic.”
The twins complained. “We are romantic too.”
Jin gave them a dry look.
Is this supposed to be something competing about?
He then said, “Congratulations again, Bro, Zhou Ai. Now that we know that a little one is coming by, we should thank Alix all the more.”
Thinking about Cai Lingyun, Jun’s countenance turned extremely frigid. If something untoward had happened then not only Ai but their child would have gotten harmed too. Just the thought of it was enough to make chest bubble with a volcanic fury.
Ai nodded hard. “Yes, yes! I really wanted to thank Alix. I was feeling dizzy so I really didn’t understand what was going on. I couldn’t even thank her properly. Though Jun did, I should properly express my gratitude too.”
Jian sneered. “I cannot believe that bastard’s audacity. Even after jail, he still thought he had a chance with Ai.”
Jinhai demanded an answer. “Where is he now?”
“Where he should be,” Jun answered icily. “He will never see the light of the day now.”
Jinhai nodded, satisfied. “Make him suffer for it.”
Ai suggested with a beaming face. “Should we visit Alix’s house with a gift?”
Jun frowned. “You are not going anywhere. You are resting here.”
“But-”
“No.”
“But I want to talk to Alix personally,” she pouted in dissatisfaction.
Nana asked, “How about we invite her here for lunch?”
Jinhai nodded. “Good idea.”
Jun agreed too. “I am cool with it. As long as Ai is not hopping out anywhere.”
Ai pursed her lips in grievance. “I don’t hop around.”
“You should be thankful that those mocktails didn’t give you a stomach ache.”
She coughed.
“Perfect!” Nana was excited. “We will call Alix here for lunch then.”
Jun said, “I will call her.”
—
Alix put her clutch away and stood in front of the window, opening its latch. The cool night breeze touched her face and she stood with her arms folded in silence.
A soft knock sounded on the door and Alix turned. She arched her brow and said, “Yes?”
“It’s me. Can I come in?”
She shrugged. “Your house.”
A small cough sounded and an elderly woman stepped in. She closed the door and stared at Alix. Ren Cuifen, Alix’s mother, clasped her hands together.
“I just came to ask h-how you are doing…Was the party too tiring?”
“Not really. Tiring or not, it depends on the people you talk.”
“I see…”
Ren Cuifen looked left and right in hesitation but eventually said, “I will take my leave then.”
“Is that the only thing you came to ask?”
“…Yes.”
She slowly turned, her shoulders dropping as if she was defeated by something. She touched the door knob and her lips quivered.
“Is…”
Alix stared at her back.
“Is she…really gone…?” she whispered.
Alix saw her body softly trembling. It had taken every bit of her strength to ask that question, whose answer she already knew very well.
“Are you r-really not my Alix…?”
Ren Cuifen clutched the door knob tighter, her tears threatening to fall. Her heart pounded in fear but with a tiny hope too that perhaps, she would get to hear a different answer this time.
“No, I am not.”
She froze and felt like she crashed to the ground, falling from a massive height. It was hard to imagine that something like this could happen in real life. But Alix’s words were always firm and unyielding ever since she had woken up from her coma.
“Then…w-who are you?”
Alix looked away and smiled, staring out of the window. “You better not know, Mrs. Ren. You wouldn’t be too thrilled to know the identity of the person who has taken your daughter’s body.”
Ren Cuifen breathed out slowly and closed her eyes. “I will take my leave.”
The silence in the room returned. It then broke with the sound of her phone ringing. She furrowed her brows at the unknown number.
“Who is it?”
“Hello. I am Liu Jun.”
Alix stared ahead at the empty space unblinkingly. “…Hello.”
“I am sorry for calling you out of the blue. I got your number from Shui.”
“I see.”
“Yes. Actually, I called you to thank you once again for saving Ai. Ai also wants to personally meet you. So I wanted to ask if you would be free to come to the Liu villa for lunch tomorrow?”
