“Sister, you won’t refuse to help me, right?”In the living room, Xu Weixiao asked her word by word.

Xu Weimiao kept looking at her sister.

Looking at this, her sister, who she had always wanted to be good to, became so aggressive.

She said, “Xiao Xiao, did you really have s.e.x with Mo Zixi?”

“Yes,”Xu Weixiao agreed without hesitation.

Xu Weimiao pursed her lips tightly.

Xu Weixiao, on the other hand, smiled proudly, “So, sister, you quit, right? “I know that I’ve been more willful than you since I was young, and I’m not as sensible as you. I also know that what I’m doing now is wrong, but sister, I really can’t control myself. I like Mo Zixi, I really do. You just asked me why I didn’t tell you before you got married. I wanted to tell you, but the speed at which you got married was too fast. You guys got married before I even opened my mouth. At that time, I originally wanted to forget about it, but human nature is like this. The more you try to suppress it, the more you will resist thoroughly! “Anyway, you and Mo Zixi are only in a marriage of convenience. There’s no love between the two of you. I can tell that you don’t like Mo Zixi, and Mo Zixi doesn’t like you either. Why Don’t you fulfill my wish? It doesn’t matter if Mo Zixi loves me or not, but at least I love him very much. I love him very much! “I’ve never loved him so deeply. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to beg you so humbly.”

Xu Weimiao listened quietly to Xu Weimiao’s words and everything she said. She was very quiet.

Xu Weimiao kept looking at Xu Weimiao, observing her emotions.

Her sister was too easily persuaded by her. Xu Weimiao’s heart was too soft. She wouldn’t fight for too many things for herself. However, Xu Weimiao always felt that Xu Weimiao was luckier than her. It seemed that from the moment she was born.., xu Weimiao would always be one step ahead of her in everything. For example, the person she liked would always be one step ahead of her in liking Xu Weimiao. Xu Weimiao would always be ranked ahead of her in her grades. Even when she was the cla.s.s monitor, Xu Weimiao was the one who was more competent than her. And because of this, even if it was just a small matter, she would be more and more calculative. And when she began to fight for it, and it was easy to succeed, it would be out of control, she felt that all of this was becoming more and more natural.

She always felt that this was how the heavens planned it. If she didn’t fight for it, all the good things would fall on Xu Weimiao.

“Sister, I know that you have a lot of other ambitions in your life. You Won’t be stuck in the position of the wife of the commander-in-chief. “Actually, I’ve thought about it. Because I really love Mo Zixi, and I’m afraid that I’ll really hurt you, so I’ve thought about it a lot.”Xu Weimiao saw that Xu Weimiao didn’t say anything, then, he spoke again, “I know that the commander-in-chief can’t get a divorce. Getting married in front of the entire country and then getting a divorce so easily is a disgrace to the entire country. Mo Zixi is definitely not a rational person. “However, as long as you agree, as long as Mo Zixi agrees, her parents won’t object. “I believe that with our similar looks, if we change our ident.i.ties, no one will know. You can continue your charity work and go abroad to the world to be your charity amba.s.sador to help more people in need. I can stay by Mo Zixi’s side. Mo Zixi only wants to carry on the family line, so I can give birth to children for her. “Actually, I really don’t have as big a goal in life as you. I just want to be able to live a normal life. This is killing two birds with one stone… sister, don’t you think it’s Good?”

“It does make me very tempted.”Xu Weimiao nodded.

If everything was as smooth as Xu Weimiao said, everyone would think that this proposal was not bad. She could really accept it.

She left and let Xu Weimiao take her place. What Mo Zixi wanted was a woman who could carry on his family line and be compatible with his ident.i.ty. Whether she liked him or not, Mo Zixi would not have it. And she married Mo Zixi because she wanted to realize the things she needed to experience in her life in advance, and then she could do whatever she wanted.

Now that Xu Weixiao suddenly stepped in between them, the result was smooth, and everyone was really happy.

She even felt that she and Mo Zixi could not live well anymore.

She smiled at Xu Weixiao. “But I won’t help you.”

Xu Weimiao frowned.

“Your Way moved me, but I don’t think I’ll help you,”Xu Weimiao said bluntly, “I’m actually very surprised. It took you a long time to think of everything to this extent, didn’t it?”? “I’ve also waited for a long time. You’re much more shrewd than I expected my sister to be. I’m really amazed.”. “But Xiao Xiao, if it were an ordinary person, they would do anything. At least they wouldn’t lose anything even if they failed. But, who are you scheming against now? You’re scheming against Mo Zixi, the commander-in-chief of the northern Xia Kingdom.”. He could simply stomp his feet and our family would be exterminated. “Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. When the time comes, you will lose both your wife and your soldiers. Have you thought about the consequences?”

“As long as I am pregnant with Mo Zixi’s child, I don’t believe that he can be so ruthless!”Xu Weimiao said word by word with certainty.

“You think too highly of people in politics.”Xu Weimiao smiled coldly.

Mo Zixi was gentle and gentle, but how much blood was on her hands? !

She had grown up in such an environment, and the political power had always been firmly in the hands of the Mo family. Political Management was one aspect, and it was impossible to not use force to suppress it. What would mo zixi do in the Dark, even if she didn’t know, she knew clearly that it was definitely not as clean and gentle as he looked.

She had never thought that she would really provoke Mo Zixi.

“You’re the one who thinks too much of everything,”Xu wearily said in response to his sister’s sarcasm, “And I have the confidence that Mo Zixi will like me one day. “All these years, the man I like has never fallen in love with me in the end! “You can rest a.s.sured about this. You just have to help me stay. I know what to do in the future!”

“Whether you can stay or not, I can’t help you, nor can I help you,”Xu Weimiao said straightforwardly. “You can choose to ask Mo Zixi. If he says yes, it’s fine. If he says no, it’s useless no matter how much I say.”

“SIS, to put it bluntly, you’re not willing to let me stay again?”Xu Weimiao looked at Xu Weimiao with an obviously unhappy expression, “You don’t want to help your sister even if it’s a waste of something you don’t like, right? When did you become like this? You’re becoming more and more selfish.”

“Don’t be the first to complain,”Xu Weimiao said word by word, “You’re very smart, and I’m not stupid. “Just because I’m not in cahoots with you doesn’t mean that I’m selfish. What you want now is to truly satisfy your own selfish desires.”. “Xiao Xiao, there are some crimes. Don’t force it on others. Everyone has a bottom line. “Take care of yourself.”

“Xu Weimiao!”Xu Weimiao called out to her fiercely.

Seeing her turn around and leave coldly, she suppressed the anger in her heart.

In the past, Xu Weimiao would never expose her so directly. Even if she knew that she was thinking this way, she would never do it. She always thought that this would be the case, which was why she was so unscrupulous!

At that time, her sister and Mo Zixi got married too quickly. She did not expect that she would still endure the blow and not say anything. It was because everything had already been decided at that time and she could not persuade her parents to persuade Mo Zixi, that was why she had endured for so long and was always looking for an opportunity to get along with Mo Zixi. She thought that after a long time, Mo Zixi would naturally notice her good qualities. She really did not expect that.., mo Zixi was still indifferent to her. No matter how much she took the initiative, he seemed to be the same. He treated her the same as he did everyone else. He did not have any special feelings for her at all. Moreover, she really fell in love with Mo Zixi.., unlike the man who used to Love Xu Weimiao, Mo Zixi gave her a feeling that she really wanted to be with this man for the rest of her life.

So, she would never let him go.

She would never let him go!

“Xu Weimiao!”Xu Weimiao shouted at her fiercely again. He was really furious.

Xu Weimiao stopped walking back to her room.

“I don’t need you to do anything for me. I can do it myself!”Xu Weimiao said fiercely, “Since I was young, all the men who like you will like me more. This is fate. Mo Zixi will do the same.”

Xu Weimiao actually wanted to remind Xu Weixiao that Mo Zixi didn’t like her.

Mo Zixi didn’t like anyone.

People were too arrogant and easily hurt.

“But I hope you don’t sleep with Mo Zixi,”Xu Weixiao said straightforwardly. “At least don’t get pregnant.”

Xu Weixiao stared at his sister.

“I’ll let you do this for me!”Xu Weixiao said. “I have other ways to make Mo Zixi like me.”

“Okay,”Xu Weixiao agreed immediately.

Xu Weixiao was a little surprised.

At that moment, she really did not expect her sister to agree so readily after rejecting her so many times!

“Don’t lie to me!”

“I don’t need to give you a promise. Believe it or not, it’s up to you!”Xu Weixiao said word by word.

Xu Weixiao bit her lips and held back her emotions. She also knew that Xu Weixiao was not as indulgent to her as before.

However, she did not need her indulgence anymore. She only wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h Mo Zixi away from her!

After Xu Weimiao said that, she returned to her room with Mo Zixi.

She sat by the bed in silence.

She did not know what the outcome would be. She did not know if Xu Weimiao had the ability to make Mo Zixi fall in love with her. However, she felt that no matter what the outcome was, she seemed to be able to accept it.

She took a deep breath and let herself completely relax from this matter!

She stood up and walked to the desk at the side. She turned on her laptop and turned it on.

She felt that she should find a new way out for herself as soon as possible. At the very least, she would not feel too rushed when she left!

It was past 6 pm.

Mo Zixi got off work and went home.

Xu Weimiao and Xu Weimiao greeted her at the door.

His eyes moved slightly as he looked at Xu Weimiao.

Xu Weimiao lowered his head and called him “Brother-in-law”softly.

Mo Zixi turned around to look at Xu Weimiao. Seeing her calm expression, she pursed her lips and didn’t say anything.

At the dining table.

The three of them were seated in their respective places, just like before.

However, the atmosphere became awkward in the end.

Xu Weimiao kept her head down as she ate, not saying a word.

She thought that she didn’t need to speak when Xu Weimiao was around.

“Brother-in-law,”Xu Weimiao said.

At that moment, Xu Weimiao was still thinking of her own wisdom, so she smiled faintly.

That smile was very obvious in Mo Zixi’s eyes.

“About what happened that night…”Xu Weimiao said hesitantly, “Can we just pretend that nothing happened? I apologized to my sister before, and she forgave me. She said that if you let it go, it would be over. I Won’t tell anyone else…”

“Is there no place to live in the capital?”Mo Zixi suddenly asked her.

“Ah?”Xu Weixiao was a little surprised.

“If there is no place to stay, I can ask my secretary to help you find a house that you are satisfied with.”

“Brother-in-law, that’s not it,”Xu Weixiao quickly explained. “I just hope that there won’t be any bad blood between us. I like my sister and I like you. I don’t want you to hate me.”

“It would be better if you left this place,”Mo Zixi said straightforwardly.

“Brother-in-law, sister said that we can stay together. You’re making things difficult for me,”Xu Weixiao quickly pulled Xu Weimiao out, “She said that we can let bygones be bygones. Let’s just do what we usually do. “Besides, I was living happily with you guys, but now that you’ve arranged for me to live with you, what will my parents think? Although my dad keeps saying that I’m causing trouble for you, he’s still very happy that you can accept me. At least, it shows that my sister has a place in your heart.”

“I’ll explain it to your parents properly. You Don’t have to worry.”Mo Zixi’s voice was very cold. Although her tone was not harsh, there was a sense of fear in it.

Xu Weixiao bit his lips.

She did not expect Mo Zixi to reject her so much.

She thought that as long as Xu Weimiao agreed, Mo Zixi would not say anything.

After all, in that incident, only she and Xu Weimiao would be hurt. Mo Zixi just had to find a way out.

“SIS,”Xu Weimiao called out to Xu Weimiao who was eating slowly.

Xu Weimiao’s att.i.tude was really indifferent.

“Let’s stay here until we find a house,”Xu Weimiao said.

This was the best she could do.

As for finding a house, Xu Weimiao was not satisfied and would never find one.

Xu Weimiao naturally reacted at that moment.

She actually did not know that Xu Weimiao would be so smart.

At that time, she was a little desperate.

She turned to look at Mo Zixi, looking a little pitiful. “May I, brother-in-law?”

Mo zixi replied faintly, “Yes.”

“Thank you, brother-in-law. Thank you, Sister. I’ll move out once I find a house. I’ll be obedient in the future,”Xu Weixiao said quickly.

The three of them finished the meal in their own minds.

Xu Weixiao moved in again, just like that.

Mo Zixi had arranged for Xu Weixiao to find a house, but Xu Weixiao would give all kinds of opinions on all the houses he found. In short, he was not satisfied. Mo Zixi was really busy, too busy to take care of these things, it was just that every time she came back, Xu Weixiao was still there, and she looked a little cold.

During this period of time, Xu Weixiao had been searching for global charities on the Internet. She had learned a lot and felt that she had not done enough research in this area, so she put more energy into it, because she had things that she was interested in doing, she did not care too much about other things.

In the blink of an eye, more than a month had pa.s.sed.

One day, Mo Zixi had just left for work when she suddenly came back. She said to Xu Weimiao, “My sister is going to give birth. We’ll be going back to Wen City soon.”

Was Mo Yinan going to give birth? !

She hurriedly followed Mo Zixi back to Wen City by plane.

Xu Weimiao looked at their backs together, and his gaze became more and more vicious.

After moving in for such a long time, not only was she unable to get close to Mo Zixi, she even felt that the distance between them was getting farther and farther. Why was this happening? !

Was Xu Weimiao trying to sabotage her.

She could clearly feel that Mo Zixi was treating Xu Weimiao better and better.

As expected, she could not underestimate Xu Weimiao!

Perhaps, Xu Weimiao did not want her to be with Mo Zixi at all.

Thinking of this, Xu Weimiao’s hostility toward Xu Weimiao became more and more obvious.

..

Wencheng. City Center Private Hospital.

Outside the operating theater, many people were waiting.

Mo Yinan was pushed into the operating theater.

The Doctor suggested a caesarean section for the twins.

Early this morning.

Mo Yinan’s face was red.

At that time, Ye Chu was waiting for Mo Yinan to wash up. Mo Yinan suddenly shouted, “I actually have my period again!”

As soon as he said that.

Ye Chu and Mo Yinan looked at each other.

Their Hearts were racing.

Ye Chu rushed out of the bathroom with Mo Yinan in his arms. Then, he placed Mo Yinan in the back seat of the car and drove straight to the city center hospital.

When they arrived at the hospital, the Doctor did a check-up. He said that it was already good enough for the twins to be pregnant for nine months. He suggested that they perform a laparotomy directly. The two of them discussed for a while and nodded.

Ye Chu accompanied Mo Yinan for a pre-operation check-up and informed all his family members.

All of a sudden, the entire surgery was filled with people.

All of them were waiting for the birth of their first twins.

So, he was really going to be a father.

Ye Chu stood at the entrance of the operating theater the whole time. He looked very calm and waited calmly.

Mo Zixi and Xu Weimiao were the latest to arrive.

Everyone turned around and looked at them. They nodded and greeted them. They were still waiting quietly and nervously.

“How long have you been in there?”Xu Weimiao walked to Lu Man’s side. It was rare for her to see Lu Man a little nervous for the first time. She said, “It’s been a while. It should be soon. The twins might be a little longer. Gu Xin took a little longer last time too. She almost worried Zhai an to death.”

“I think brother-in-law is not very calm either.”Xu Weimiao looked at Ye Chu who had been standing there the whole time.

Lu man nodded. “Every man has to go through this process. In the past, I always thought that it was very painful for a woman to bear a child. On second thought, men are not much better.”

“Okay.”Xu Weimiao nodded and smiled.

About ten minutes later.

The door of the operating theater was opened, accompanied by the faint sound of a baby crying.

At that moment, everyone clearly saw ye Chu’s body tremble.

He was really nervous, right.

Two nurses came out of the operating theater with one in each of their arms and said with a smile, “It’s a pair of twins, brother and sister. The brother weighs 4.5 kilograms and the sister weighs 4.3 kilograms. Officer Ye, come and Hug Your Child.”

Ye Chu went forward.

A nurse handed the brother to Ye Chu first.

Ye Chu did not know how to hug him. In fact, during his pregnancy, Ye Chu had occasionally learned how to hug a child. However, when he was really hugging his child, he forgot about it and his entire body stiffened, he only knew to be careful.

She looked at the brother in her arms. He was very small and was crying with his eyes closed. His face was red and his skin was so thin that even the blood vessels could be seen.

The others also gathered around him.

Just as Ye Chu was about to give the child to his father-in-law, Mo Xiuyuan, he saw him carry his sister into his arms naturally.

“Hey, you should let ye Chu carry her first,”Lu man reminded him.

Mo Xiuyuan pretended not to hear her and hugged his sister with a beautiful smile on his face. “She looks like Yannuo.”

“Yannuo isn’t that ugly.”

“Yannuo was just born like this,”Mo Xiuyuan explained.

Lu Man didn’t even have the face to remind her that when Yannuo was born, he was in an unknown tender place.

“Xiu, let me hug her as a grandfather too. Hurry up and give her to me!”Ye Heng said, “Don’t always hug her by yourself.”

“Don’t you like your son? Go Hug the one on Ye Chu’s hand!”Mo Xiuyuan didn’t think of letting go.

“Who said I like my son? I love my daughter. I’m just afraid that if my two sons can’t accept it, I’ll be sad. I’m So Kind,”ye Heng said quickly.

Mo Xiuyuan pretended not to hear it. He smiled happily. It was obvious that none of you wanted to s.n.a.t.c.h my child from me.

Ye Heng was unhappy. He knew that he couldn’t s.n.a.t.c.h it from Mo Xiuyuan, so he ran over to hug his brother.

His brother was now in Tang Yaoyao’s arms.

With Tang Yaoyao’s help, he hugged his brother with a happy expression.

Ye Chu was asking the nurse about Mo Yinan’s condition.

The nurse said that everything was fine with the delivery woman and that she could come out after the st.i.tches were done. She told him not to worry.

Ye Chu had been waiting at the door the whole time.

Mo Xiuyuan hugged his sister, but he still turned to look at Ye Chu. The smile on his face became a little relieved.

“I’m sorry. The twins are still too young and haven’t reached the weight of a normal baby. They will be staying in the incubator for a period of time. If everything is normal, they can come out. Now, which one of you will follow me to go through the relevant procedures? The rest of you can wait for the delivery woman to come out.”

“I’ll go,”Mo Xiuyuan and Ye Heng said in unison.

The two of them left with the nurse.

The others stayed behind to wait for Mo Yinan.

About half an hour pa.s.sed.

Mo Yinan was pushed out from inside.

She was very conscious. She opened her eyes and saw that Ye Chu and many others were rushing over.

Ye Chu held Mo Yinan’s hand. “They’re twins, brother and sister.”

“I know.”Mo Yinan smiled.

“You’ve worked hard.”Ye Chu looked at him dotingly.

Everyone could not help but laugh. Ye Chu could actually say such sour words.

“I was afraid that when I came out and didn’t see you, you would run away with your sister in Your Arms.”Mo Yenuo felt that if that was really the case, she would be devastated!

“My sister was taken away by my father,”Ye Chu said.

“Your father or my father?”

“Your father.”

“Are you jealous?”

“No.”

“Jealous?”

“No.”

“Tell me the truth.”

“Yeah, I’m jealous.”Ye Chu nodded.

Mo Yinan smiled. “It’s okay. If My father knew that I love you very much, he would be jealous too.”

Ye Chu pursed his lips and smiled. His face was slightly red. “I love you very much too.”

Was he trying to show off his love by pretending that no one else existed.

Lu Man coughed twice.

Ye Chu’s face turned even redder.

Mo Yinan felt that he was really the happiest person in the world.

Everyone pushed Mo Yinan back to Mo Yinan’s high-cla.s.s ward.

The room was a suite.

The others were in the living room while ye Chu accompanied Mo Yinan in the ward. Mo Yinan had not used any anesthetic, so she could not sleep or move her body. Ye Chu had been accompanying her and chatting with her. The two of them talked about the child and many, many happy topics.

Mo Zixi knocked on the door.

“Zixi,”Mo Yinan called out to her.

“Yes.”Mo Zixi walked in. “Congratulations.”

“It’s so relaxing after giving birth. Although I can’t feel my lower body at all now, I still feel that something big has happened!”Mo Yinan sighed, he gestured for Mo Zixi to sit beside his bed. “Oh right, it’s been so long. Are you pregnant with Miao Miao?”

“I’m not in a hurry.”Mo Zixi smiled faintly.

“Weren’t you in a hurry in the beginning? Why aren’t you in a hurry now?”Mo Yinan asked.

“Everything will be fine as it is.”

“That’s true,”Mo Yinan said. “If I hadn’t gotten pregnant by accident with Ye Chu, I think I would have waited another two years before thinking about having a child.”

“Ye Chu is pretty amazing,”Mo Zixi said. It was a very ordinary sentence.

Ye Chu and Mo Yinan blushed.

Mo Zixi smiled as well.

“Is Miao Miao here?”

“Yes, she went to see the twins with Auntie,”Mo Zixi said. “After dad went to accompany her sister, he didn’t come back. I think Auntie is going to flip out again.”

“My mom is so petty.”Although Mo Yinan said that, the corners of his mouth were filled with a smug smile.

“By the way, have you thought of a name for the child?”

“I’ve thought about it,”Mo Yinan said.

Ye Chu was still very surprised that Mo Yinan had actually thought of a name himself.

“When I was in the operating theater and had my stomach ruptured like a frog, I was very bored at that time. I was thinking about what I had experienced for so many years, and then I suddenly had an idea. I think the twins are called ‘word-wise men’!”Mo Yinan said bluntly.

“Word-wise men?”Mo Zixi was surprised.

“Ye Chu and I have experienced so much pain in our lives after so many years of inconsistency. It’s because of Ye Chu’s word-wise men. After thinking about it, I think this name is very good and has a very interesting story! What do you think, Ye Chu?”

“Not good,”ye Chu refused.

Who would want to stick their mistakes to themselves for the rest of their lives.

“I just gave birth to your child, and you’re already turning against me. Why are men like this?”

”…”what happened to who? !

“The older brother is called Ye XI, and the younger sister is called Ye Rujin.”Mo Yinan was very certain.

“Let’s think about it again.”Ye Chu tried to persuade him. There was a story behind the name, but it was really unpleasant to hear.

“Ye Chu, you don’t love me anymore, right?”

”…”what does this have to do with love? !

“Am I going to be a single mother?”Mo Yinan’s eyes turned red.

“Okay, anything you say is fine!”Ye Chu agreed immediately.

Mo Yinan’s tears turned into a smile.

Every time he saw ye Chu’s exasperated look because of him, Mo Yinan felt a special sense of accomplishment.

He always felt that even though ye Chu had endured quite a lot during those years, it was because of his stupidity that they had missed so many good times.

So, she had been holding a grudge!

She would never let ye Chu off for the rest of her life!

The high-cla.s.s ward was filled with their warm and warm feelings.

They were really very happy!

Mo Zixi slowly left the room. There were many family members in the living room. Some of them had gone to see the child, while some stayed in the room to accompany and chat about the child.

Lu Yicheng sat on the sofa in the living room and played with his hands. He looked up and saw Mo Zixi coming out of the room and sitting beside him.

“Are you and sister-in-law not pregnant yet?”Lu Yicheng asked.

“Yes.”Mo Zixi nodded.

“Sister-in-law’s sister still lives with you guys?”

“Yes.”

Lu Yicheng put down his phone.

Just as he put it down, he heard Little Xia Xia’s roar coming from the opposite sofa. “Lu Yicheng, we’re fighting now, why are you letting go! You’re not doing well, and you keep dropping the ball… Ah!”

Little Xia Xia hugged her head.

He looked at his mother with resentment.

“Mom, why did you hit me!”

“You’re so rude, Yicheng is older than you, why are you yelling!”Gu Xin looked like a strict mother.

Little Xia Xia was unhappy.

“Also, Ye Chu is already a father. He has two children and you don’t even have friends. Don’t you feel humiliated?”Gu Xin scolded.

“I’m only 18 years old, Mom,”Little Xia Xia reminded in a low voice.

Actually, he was quite afraid of his mother.

He always felt that her mother treated da Bei better than him.

It seemed like he had never provoked her before and had always been trying to please her!

“Did ye Chu get married when he was 18 years old? !”Gu Xin said fiercely, “Isn’t there a rule in bei Xia kingdom that says you can get married when you’re 18 years old? !”

”…”nowadays, no one would want to get married and have children as soon as possible.

He wasn’t stupid.

“My family’s policy is so generous. Mom Won’t blame you if you don’t bring your girlfriend home. At least bring a boyfriend home! Tell me, why are you so unambitious? !”Gu Xin said bitterly.

Little Xia Xia really had an impulse to bring a son home. It scared her mother to death!
