Chapter 489: A second try (1)

The next day, Mu Shuchun left for Paris without even waiting for her treatment to get over. In the last twenty-four hours, she thought many times to barge at the wedding venue, but she couldn’t.

Because she realized that she wasn’t just facing Shin and the Liang family, but also the respectable Xiang family of which he was the son-in-law now. Moreover, Nana, Shin’s sister, was the Liu family’s daughter-in-law and his cousin, Serena, the Chen family’s daughter-in-law.

It was a lost battle through and through.

No way she had the power to face even just the Liang family, let alone four influential families together. She was too insignificant, so before Shin got angrier and destroyed her modeling career, on which he didn’t lay a finger until now, she decided to leave for Paris. She had already lost her love. She couldn’t afford to lose her career too.

So, things finally settled on her side, and she left Beijing for good.

A few months later, at Huian’s fifth month’s ultrasound checkup, Shin and Huian got a shocking but pleasant surprise that she was going to give birth to twins.

Shin literally jumped up and down like a child.

“Huian! Twins! We are having twins!” Shin felt so emotional that he could hardly control his overwhelming feelings. For the past seven years, he bore the loss of his child and pain all alone and now he was going to become a father of twins! The past suddenly felt like a dream to him.

Huian was also just as delighted but even more to see him that happy and excited.

“En.”

Shin’s eyes shimmered in tears, and he gently kissed her lips. “Thank you, Huian…”

“Silly, why are you crying?” she wiped his tears and kissed him back, “No more tears from now on.”

“Aye, Aye!”

Another four months later, she delivered a pair of adorable baby girls.

As Shin held the elder daughter in his arms, he couldn’t help but cry. She was the prettiest and cutest angel ever. His younger daughter and the fraternal twin sister was just as breathtaking.

They named the elder one Meixiu and the younger one Meirong. Time happily flew by, and then came their younger son, Bao.

At present, Shin chuckled as he warmly gazed at his children happily chomping down on the meat.

“Hey, now enough about me, okay?” Shin rolled his eyes.

Jianyu laughed. “We cannot help it. Even at the twin’s news, you cried as if you would really form a new river in Beijing, all thanks to your tears.”

Huian almost choked.

“Hey!”

Nana shook her head. “Alright, alright. Dinner is almost done. So, now help us wrapping up all this.”

“Ayeeee…” The three men said.

The kids started to play around while Jun quietly sat near his mother.

Jianyu was frequently looking over Serena’s side, who was playing with the kids.

He sighed.

I need to talk to her. Should I wait until the trip is over? Or…Nope. It’s better to speak now and resolve it.

He stood and walked over to her side.

“*Ahem*” he cleared his throat.

Serena looked behind and softly bit her lower lip. She knew what he wanted to say.

“I heard that there is a beautiful lake just ten minutes away on foot. Would you like to come with me?

She slowly nodded.

Meirong’s gaze sparkled. “A lake! I want to come too!”

“Me too!” Jian and Nian chimed in.

“I want to see the water!” Nuo chirped.

Ugh…

Of course, the others understood his plight. They needed privacy.

Nana smiled. “Yes, we will also visit the lake, but a little later.”

“Whyyyyyy?” They complained. “We wanna go nowwwww…”

“Hmm…Uncle Jianyu and Aunt Serena are going to take a look at the path to check if it’s safe, especially from wild animals. Grrrrr!!” she howled, mimicking a tiger. “What if a tiger sneaks on us?”

Jun had thoroughly done his research. “There are no tigers in this area, Mama.”

Nana’s mouth twitched. “How about wolves!”

“This is not the place where wolves breed, Mama.”

“There would be definitely snakes!” and she eyed towards Jun. He got the message, and he shut his mouth. Jinhai chuckled, and Jun harrumphed.

Nana nodded. “What if they bite us? So they are going to check on that.”

“Alright!”

Serena and Jianyu finally got the chance to go alone after Nana’s persuasion to the kids.

As they walked down the path, nobody said anything for a while. They were close to nearing the lake already, but nobody spoke a word yet. As they reached the small shore, Jianyu finally spoke while Serena also said at the same time.

“I am sorry.”

They stood surprised for a second.

Jianyu pursed his lips. “Serena, I…we really need to talk.”

“En,” she nodded.

Jianyu gently took her hand in his palms. “Serena. You understand that in normal circumstances, I wouldn’t really mind having a second child, right?”

She bit her lip.

“I am just doing what I feel is safe for you. The doctor said that it’s hard to get pregnant, and even if you did, there are high chances of miscarriage. How can I think about having a child if I know we might go through such uncertainty? I don’t want you to suffer any pain. Miscarriage is not only harmful to the body physically, but…will you be able to bear the loss? Emotionally?”

Serena quickly said, “But we won’t know if we don’t even do a checkup. What if my condition is better now?”

Jianyu hesitated. “It’s the same as miscarriage. First, get all the hopes up and down the drain it goes. You are all excited to do the checkup, but what if the results come negative? Serena, you have already withstood the pain five years back, knowing that…if once again, you come to know that bearing a child is impossible, then it would be like going through it all over again. I don’t want to see you crushed and disappointed. Again.”

Serena cupped his face, and faintly smiled. “Jianyu. You are trying to protect me too much. Life is not a merry-go-round. There will be times of happiness and sadness, and we cannot always protect ourselves from pain. You ask, what if it’s negative? I ask, what if it’s positive? And even if it’s negative, then Jianyu, please know that I am not that weak to handle it.”
