Before being reborn and getting married, the pampered young lady emptied her family's assets to

Chapter 128 Twins

The nanny left as instructed, and Anlu walked to the dressing table, looking at her carefully groomed self in the mirror.

The scent of expensive perfume lingered around her, but the anxiety in her eyes was impossible to hide.

She pulled out a large diamond ring from the jewelry box; it was a birthday gift from Mr. Qin last month.

Hong Kong is a place of extravagance and debauchery, where she has witnessed far too much of the coldness and warmth of human relationships.

Of course, this also allowed him to enjoy a life of luxury.

Since arriving here, Anlu has almost forgotten her days in Haicheng.

So when she received Qian Xue's letter, her first reaction was whether Qian Xue would affect her.

She's doing very well now, but once she has enough capital, she'll go after Anmin and settle accounts.

She couldn't get Qian Xue out of jail, but she could avenge her.

The next evening, Qin Xuan returned reeking of alcohol.

He was wearing a custom-made suit with his tie loosely hanging around his neck. When he saw Anlu sitting on the sofa, he casually tossed his coat into the maid's arms.

"What, have you figured it out?"

An Lu got up and poured him a cup of hangover tea, her voice as gentle as water: "Sir, I want to go home and see my parents."

Mr. Qin took the teacup, his gaze lingering for a moment on the jade pendant on her chest.

He bought the pendant at an auction a while ago; it was said to have been a relic from the Qing Dynasty palace.

"How much do you want?"

"You decide how much to give."

Mr. Qin raised an eyebrow and slammed his teacup down on the coffee table: "An Lu, you've been getting bolder and bolder lately."

An Lu immediately knelt on the carpet and wrapped her arms around his knees: "Sir, I'm not being greedy. He's returning home in glory, so what's wrong with giving him a little more? Haven't I given you enough?"

When she looked up, her eyes were already red, and tears were hanging on her eyelashes, making her look pitiful.

She used this trick many times, and it always worked.

Mr. Qin is most susceptible to this. He enjoys watching women fight over him, cry for him, and laugh for him, as if this proves how important he is.

Anlu is beautiful, knows how to be charming, and is very outgoing. It seems that here, she has become the charming woman from her previous life who could drive people crazy for her.

Sure enough, Mr. Qin's expression softened.

He reached out and pinched An Lu's chin: "Behave yourself and don't cause me any trouble."

Anlu immediately smiled and planted a kiss on the back of his hand: "Thank you, sir!"

As soon as Mr. Qin entered the bathroom, An Lu's smile vanished instantly.

She went out onto the balcony and looked down at the dazzling Victoria Harbour.

Anmin, the pain you once inflicted on me, I will repay a hundredfold this time.

……

Meanwhile, An Min and Liang Yi, far away in Baiyanggou, were unaware that An Lu's return was about to unleash another bloody storm.

After the two returned to Baiyanggou, An Qing's letter arrived late.

She went to see Andy On and accepted his will.

All his assets will be transferred to Anmin to atone for the sins he committed in the first half of his life.

An Qing also said that she would take An Zhijie's body and bury it back at the An family's old house.

Anmin doesn't need to come back here anymore, this place that makes her sad.

Three more months passed by in a blur, and by then Anmin's belly was so big that she could no longer walk.

Liang Yi was also worried about An Min, so he would often go home early to take care of her.

When the two went to the hospital, the doctor told her to take good care of herself.

She basically stayed at home all winter and didn't go out.

The snow outside the window shimmered softly in the morning light. Anmin nestled in a rattan chair with thick cotton cushions, her hand gently resting on her swollen belly.

Liang Yi had just returned from the team, his shoulders still covered in snowflakes. As soon as he entered the room, he rubbed his hands together and moved closer to the kang (a heated brick bed).

"It's windy today, so I asked for leave in advance."

He took off his scarf, which was still damp with cold, rubbed his hands together to warm them, and then reached inside Anmin's clothes, his palm pressed against her warm belly.

"Are the little ones making a fuss again?" Anmin laughed and slapped his hand away. "They were kicking me just now. Maybe they know you're back."

Her belly was much heavier than that of a typical pregnant woman, and the doctor had already said it was twins, which made Liang Yi constantly on his guard.

Since the beginning of winter, he has put aside all heavy work and has been going home on time every day without fail.

She would wake up several times at night, and only dare to go back to sleep after touching her belly.

The aroma of red date and millet porridge wafted from the kitchen; it was brought over early that morning by Sister Chunli.

Liang Yi filled a bowl and kept it warm in the pot, then took out some brown sugar from the cupboard and carefully stirred it in.

"This porridge is nourishing; you should drink a couple more bowls."

Anmin felt a warm glow in her heart as she watched his busy figure.

Winters in Baiyanggou are bitterly cold, but this house is always like a small stove.

She altered Liang Yi's military overcoat into thick cotton trousers, which she was wearing now, wrapped up tightly.

"You should dress warmly too, don't get cold."

Liang Yi brought over the porridge and tucked a cushion behind her back: "I'm very strong."

He sat on a small stool, feeding her porridge spoonful by spoonful, his eyes tender.

The two chatted back and forth, and Liang Yi said that they might have to move again.

Because he exceeded his quota in Baiyanggou, he may be transferred to a place closer to Beijing next year.

The fact that Liang Yi can be promoted to the middle position indicates that the higher-ups are going to give him a key promotion.

An Min was naturally happy. She had always worried that her background would hinder Liang Yi and prevent him from progressing further.

Fortunately, no.

By the time spring was approaching, Anmin was more than nine months pregnant. Liang Yi planned to take her to the hospital first, but unexpectedly, the baby was in a hurry to come out.

As evening approached, Anmin suddenly curled up in pain.

Liang Yi rushed to the kitchen to boil some water, but An Min grabbed him.

Her forehead was covered in cold sweat, and her voice trembled: "Liang Yi... seems to be going into labor."

Liang Yi's face turned pale instantly. He hurriedly put on his cotton-padded coat, wrapped An Min in a thick quilt, and rushed her to the hospital.

The snow outside hadn't melted yet, and his footprints in the snow were uneven, one deep and one shallow. He was panting heavily, but dared not stop for a moment.

He felt that the person in his arms was as heavy as a thousand pounds, yet as light as fragile glass.

Liang Yi spoke to An Min, trying to soothe her, as if only hearing her voice could bring him peace of mind.

Upon arriving at the hospital, there was naturally another flurry of activity.

When Anmin was taken to the hospital, the doctor said that her fingers were not dilated enough and she had to wait.

"Let's call another family member over. You're a man, you can't handle so many things on your own."

After hearing what the doctor said, Liang Yi called Sister Chunli and his comrade-in-arms Lao Zhang.

Upon hearing that it was such a big deal as having a baby, the two of them came without hesitation.

When Chunli came, she brought a lot of things, all of which Anmin will need later.

Old Zhang brought his wife along, saying she could be of help.

The hospital lights stayed on until late at night, and Liang Yi paced back and forth in the corridor.

He rushed to the delivery room door upon hearing the baby's loud cry, nearly knocking over the nurse carrying the instrument tray.

"They're twins, a boy and a girl!"

The nurse smiled and lifted the curtain: "Mother and child are safe. The girl came out first, and the boy will be here soon."

Liang Yi staggered to the bedside. An Min was pale, but she smiled at him.

Two wrinkled little creatures were wrapped in a red cloth; one whimpered on the left, and the other kicked its legs on the right.

He reached out to touch her, but was afraid of hurting the child if he touched her too hard. His hand hovered in mid-air for a long time before finally landing gently on Anmin's sweaty forehead.

"Minmin, thank you for your hard work."

His voice choked with emotion, and his eyes were red.

An Min shook her head, looking at the two little lives: "Congratulations, Liang Yi, you're a father now. You need to name the children."
