Xie Yuansheng was on top of the world. Without waiting for another moment, he took Feng Xinying to the hospital. Keira and Xie Shengjun also went with them. The doctor conducted all the tests and within next two hours, it was confirmed that Feng Xinying was indeed pregnant. Xie Yuansheng was so excited that he exploded with happiness. As soon as they walked out of the hospital, he lifted Feng Xinying in his arms and whirled. Feng Xinying laughed like a child and he joined in her laughter. Everything looked like a dream. He looked at her and felt that buzz of electricity. The bright future, the adventure of being a parent was awaiting him. Being taken away from his parents so early in life was a lot of emotional grief for him.
He had tears in his eyes when he brought Feng Xinying down on the ground. Other than his brother and her, now another member would be added to his family. Someone dearer than anything else in the world. He was flowing with love with the small blob in her tummy that hadn't even taken shape. A smile cracked his face through his tears as he started feeling good about that day, about his life and nothing that felt so right could ever go wrong. He took his camera out and clicked her pictures. Then he stood with her and took a selfie. Later he renamed it as "My Family – The Three of Us, More to Come" and changed his phone's wallpaper.
When they drove out of the hospital, both of them were giddy with excitement. He wanted to tell it everyone. She wanted to shout and tell the world about her pregnancy.
It was Xie Shengjun who broke this topic first. "Feng Xinying, how many days of your movie schedule are left? You have to announce it to the world soon."
Feng Xinying looked at Xie Yuansheng who was driving the car. She stroked his hair and replied, "Only two weeks are left but we can always announce it anytime."
Suddenly Keira shouted at Xie Yuansheng, "Do you know the speed at which you are driving? That cyclist just took over from you!"
Xie Yuansheng looked back at her and glared. "We have just come to know that Feng Xinying is pregnant. What do you expect me to do? Drive at rocket speed? My baby will get jerks! I am sorry but I can't drive at a greater speed."
Keira narrowed her eyes. "Even I am carrying a baby and Xie Shengjun drove at forty!"
"I am sorry but with two pregnant women sitting in my car, I can't drive at more than twenty," replied Xie Yuansheng focusing his eyes on the road ahead.
A distance back home, which could be covered within half an hour, took twice as much time. Keira was exasperated at Xie Yuansheng. Xie Shengjun kept calming her throughout the journey by holding her hand. "Baby, it's alright. Young brother is doing it for your safety." He wanted to scold his younger brother but how could he in front of the two women. There had to be some solidarity between the two brothers. He was sandwiched between his brother and his wife.
When they reached home, Keira stormed out of the car followed by Xie Shengjun.
Xie Yuansheng was totally stoic to Keira's angry outbursts in the car. It didn't matter to him. He smiled and ran to open the door where Feng Xinying was sitting. She smiled back at him and stepped out of the car holding his extended hand. When they went inside, Xie Yuansheng kept telling her to watch her step. Feng Xinying acted that she was pregnant and walked very carefully. She loved the fuss Xie Yuansheng was creating about it.
Once they reached the main hall, he made her sit and ran to the kitchen to prepare chicken soup for her. All the chefs were once again troubled. The entire floor was once again dirtied and littered and everyone was nicely scolded until the soup was prepared. Xie Yuansheng came back to the main hall with two soup bowls and gave them to the pregnant women.
He sat down with satisfaction on his face. When he saw them having the soup, he commented, "It's such a botheration to look after pregnant women. Brother, how do you manage?" He asked looking at brother who also relaxed a bit. But when Xie Shengjun heard the question, he could only remember Keira's outbursts. At no point of time, he thought about her food because he had employed a large number of people for her special diet.
"I suggest that you employ a special chef who would cook for her food that is rich in nutrition for pregnancy," he replied from his experience. "Also you must remove that wine cellar from the basement." Xie Shengjun never trusted himself and Feng Xinying with alcohol.
Xie Yuansheng nodded.
"I was thinking why not have a party about your marriage and announce it as soon as possible. Why delay it for two weeks? Also how will you work with your for the film Feng Xinying? If you will tell Lu Dao about it, he would be careful in giving you scenes," said Xie Shengjun.
Feng Xinying took a deep breath and said, "Okay…"
"No! We will wait till you are done with the movie," interrupted Xie Yuansheng. "However, I will personally tell Lu Dao about you. We will hold the party in two weeks from today."
All of them agreed. It made sense to do that because they had already waited for so long why rush it now? Also Xie Yuansheng was apprehensive to tell the world about her pregnancy. There was a lot of risk. He was also concerned about her wound and cursed the day when that culprit wounded her. His men had caught him. His hands were itching to torture the man who dared to harm his wife and that too when she was carrying his child? He had instructed his men to keep him chained in a room. He had planned to bury him alive.

Lim Chuen was sitting in his chamber, talking to Chang Ling. There was just one option left for hostile takeover after Feng Xinying announced that she was the real heir of the company.
