The newlyweds ate until they were satisfied before they took a stroll around the hotel. They didn't wander too far since Yi Lan insisted that they should rest on their first day. Lying down on their large bed, they planned out all the things they were going to do during their stay in the hotel.
"Dr. Tang said that our baby is very healthy. I just need to watch my diet and in less than seven months I will be a proud mum and so will you," Lie Ruge said smiling. The expression on her face showed that she wished that seven months would come a lot sooner. The couple was so eager to become parents.
"I can't wait to carry her in my strong arms. I think being a parent is really cool," Yi Lan said as he caressed her face affectionately.
"Why do you always say that our baby is a she. I'm very certain that he is a boy, so stop referring to her as a girl. I bet he must feel so bad to repeatedly hear his Papa address him as a girl instead of the healthy boy he is," Lie Ruge said meekly.
"No, no, no. Of course our baby is a girl. Mum said that girls normally eat a lot when they are in the w.o.m.b so this our little baby girl. She often demands for food from her mum every two hours so I'm a hundred percent sure that she is a girl," Yi Lan said firmly.
"But that is far from what dad told me. Dad told me that mum always ate a lot when she was pregnant with you. That is why he is sure that he will have a grandson soon. He said that the way I eat is very similar to when mum was pregnant, so he is very convinced that I am carrying our handsome son," Lie Ruge said confidently too, not willing to lose this time around.
"I'm sure that my wish will definitely come to pass this time around," Yi Lan said unfazed.
"And so will mine," Lie Ruge said unfazed too. They kept on chatting happily until Lie Ruge quietly walked to the window. She folded the curtains and stood there looking at the starry night. The reason they had chosen this particular hotel suite was because it had a great view of the Eiffel tower.
"I have been to Paris so many times, but I never knew that it was such a beautiful city. I always locked myself up in my hotel room working deep into the night. I never knew that life was so beautiful until I met you. Thinking back now, meeting you again was the greatest miracle that ever happened in my life. Not me coming out of the Academy alive," Lie Ruge said with mixed emotions as she focused all her attention on Eiffel tower which was shining brightly in the night.
"Me too. I have been here a couple of times and stayed in many hotels, but I never realized how much I missed by locking myself up in my hotel room working all night. But despite everything that has happened to us, meeting you again was the best gift the universe has ever given me," Yi Lan said with mixed feelings too as he hugged her from behind. It was as if they were reciting their wedding vows.
"That is why I have vowed never to let our children go through the same pain we went through. They will not live their lives being locked up in our house. They will play, shop, travel and do so many other things normal children at their age do. They will live a life filled with so much laughter, love and joy. We will definitely make that happen hubby," Lie Ruge turned around and hugged him.
"Yes, we will. We will be the best parents in the world," Yi Lan replied confidently as he patted her back lovingly. They stood at the window watching the beautiful scenery in front of them for a long time before they went to bed. Yi Lan woke up very early the next morning before Lie Ruge. He called the hotel manager so many times. The way he talked seemed was if he was planning a surprise for his beautiful wife, who was sleeping soundly on the bed. He allowed her sleep for another three hours before he woke her up.
"Hello wifey, how was your sleep? I hope you dreamt about hubby," Yi Lan said as he cupped her sleepy face. It was as if she wanted to sleep some more.
"Yeah I did. What time is it right now?" Lie Ruge asked sleepily as she tried to force her eyes open.
"It's already 8:00 am. Dr. Tang is on his way to our room so you should shower first before he gets here," Yi Lan said while trying to lift her upper body up from the bed, but Lie Ruge fell back down on the bed.
"Really? Why do I feel so sleepy even if it is already 8:00am?" Lie Ruge asked as she slowly closed her eyes. Yi Lan let her be when he saw that she needed some more sleep for her to regain her normal strength. Dr. Tang arrived ten minutes later, he was not shocked when Yi Lan told him that Lie Ruge was still sleeping. Since Lie Ruge was not awake, Yi Lan used that opportunity to ask Dr. Tang about some of the precautions he and his wife are supposed to take in order to make sure that nothing goes wrong with both mother and child. They talked for a hour, but Lie Ruge did not wake up and Yi Lan refused to let him go back to his room unless Lie Ruge woke up. Dr. Tang cursed his luck as he continued talking. Despite the fact that he was talking, he felt so unbelievably bored since their conservation was only on one thing. Yi Lan only listened while he talked so he felt very bored. He silently prayed that Lie Ruge would wake up so that he would leave their room as soon as possible. Dr Tang heaved a sigh of relief when Lie Ruge finally woke up after standing him up for two hours. To make matters worse Yi Lan told him to wait for his wife to brush and wash her face. Dr Tang was more than furious, but he controlled himself with all his might since he knew what would happen to him if he dared show any sign of anger or displeasure on his face.
"Hello Mrs. Yi! How are you feeling right now after sleeping for an extra two hours?" Dr. Tang asked, faking a smile as he grit his teeth in anger.
"I feel good, but I just recently found out that our baby eats a lot. I am not afraid of getting fat but I'm just worried that I might have to undergo the trouble of changing my entire dressing room at this rate," Lie Ruge said humorously.
"That is how demanding every baby is when they are in the w.o.m.b, but you don't have to worry about changing your entire wardrobe as of now. You rarely gain weight no matter how much you eat, that is your charm Mrs. Yi so you don't have to worry about anything," Dr Tang said, smiling sweetly at her as he examined her.
"Dr. Tang," Yi Lan called his name without saying anything but the murderous glare he threw at the poor doctor had passed his message. Dr Tang immediately shut his lips tightly after he saw the murderous gaze that was directed at him earlier. He instantly excused himself after telling the anxious couple that their baby was in perfect condition.
"Ger'er, I know that you must be hungry right now but you will have to hold on for more than an hour. We have to do something after we take our bath. I promise, I will take you to a restaurant to eat to your heart satisfaction Ok," Yi Lan said before he gently carried her to the bathroom.
"Ok, but you are not allowed to complain or feel ashamed even though I eat too much alright?" Lie Ruge said as she opened the bathroom door for Yi Lan.
"Wow! Did you prepare this? This is so romantic. I would have definitely loved it if it was the time we were planning to play naughty in the bathroom," Lie Ruge said before she quickly placed a light kiss on Yi Lan's lips. Yi Lan wanted more after having not tasted her delicious lips for a while, but he controlled himself. He knew that they would absolutely miss their breakfast and lunch if they were to start that minute.
"Wifey, stop tempting hubby or there might be consequences. Ok? Let's have a peaceful bath this morning. I will play with you however you want later on so let's just finish this quickly alright?" Yi Lan said warningly before he gently immersed her in the bathtub, which was filled with rose petals. Scented candles were kept on every corner of the room too. Lie Ruge felt so good taking her bath in such a luxurious and beautiful environment. Just like Yi Lan had promised, he personally bathed her and carried her back to the bedroom to get her dressed.
"Let me dry your hair," Yi Lan quickly collected the hair drier from her hands and helped her to dry her hair.
"Let me choose an outfit for you? I bet this white dress will look perfect on you so wear it today," Yi Lan said as he handed the dress over to her. Everything she wore was carefully picked by Yi Lan. As they walked to the second floor, those who walked passed them could not resist taking second glares at them. They thought the two were too beautiful to be true. Lie Ruge was once again shocked when she saw where Yi Lan brought her.
"Spa? You keep on surprising me today? Where are we going to after we leave here? Give me a heads up so that I won't be surprised again," Lie Ruge said sarcastically as she smiled happily.
