1682: Tianxin, Can I Touch Your Belly?

Tianxin, Can I Touch Your Belly?

"You're right, Tianxin. You've worked way too hard in the past."2

"By the way, Aunt Shanyue, are you and Mingzhu here to see me?"

Yan Shanyue shook her head and said, "We are not here to see you specifically. If we did, we wouldn't come empty-handed. Didn't I buy Mingzhu a Ferrari before? She was afraid to drive it until today when she asked me to drive with her on the road. I didn't expect us to hit a teenage skateboarder at an intersection."

Ye Tianxin asked hurriedly, "Is he badly injured?"

Yan Shanyue said, "Wenyang said it's nothing we need to be worried about. However, he was probably worried about other side effects, so he thought it would be better to keep him in the hospital for observation."

Mingzhu clasped her hands and whispered, "I was looking at the traffic light in front of me and didn't notice him coming from the side. Luckily, my mother reminded me in time for me to hit the brake..."

Yan Shanyue smiled softly and explained, "Not really. Mingzhu used to drive foreign cars. Tianxin, you know that the domestic cars are slightly different from the foreign cars."

Ye Tianxin said with a nod, "I see."

Mingzhu looked at Ye Tianxin and asked nervously, "Tianxin, can I touch your belly?"

"What..."

Ye Tianxin didn't hear her.

What did she want to touch her belly for?

Worrying that Ye Tianxin would misunderstand her, Mingzhu explained, "I just want to feel the babies..."

"Mingzhu, ask again later. I'm not even a month into the pregnancy yet."

Ye Tianxin opened the drawer, took out the B-ultrasound film, and handed it to Mingzhu.

"Mingzhu, look at how small they are. Can you see anything interesting?"

Mingzhu stared at the photo for a long time but didn't see anything.

"Tianxin, where are the children you said?"

"Here."

There were only two tiny black dots in the film.

"So small..."

Yan Shanyue took the photo and said softly, "Yes, children grow up from such small dots. You will know this when you become a mother in the future. Life itself is a miracle."

Mingzhu looked at herself in the photo. She never asked Yan Shanyue such a question.

"Why were you sure I was gone back then?"

Yan Shanyue's mind paused for a moment.

Yan Shanyue explained, "I was lying in a pool of blood and called your dad, but the call didn't go through. When I woke up, I was in the ward with a flat belly. I asked him what happened to you, and he said you were gone... I saw that baby who was out of breath, and I..."

Yan Shanyue had thought that Mingzhu was dead all this time. Who knew that she would just suddenly come back into her life one day?

Yan Shanyue said, "Later, I asked your brother to check what happened back then. The parents went abroad right after being discharged from the hospital that year, and we haven't heard from you since."

Mingzhu said, "They abandoned me. I grew up in an orphanage."

She was so young then.

Deep down, all she wanted was to survive.

She would do anything to stay alive.

Mingzhu said, "If they hadn't let me get close to Tianxin, maybe we would still be so far apart. Neither of us would've known that we were family."

Ye Tianxin leaned on Li Qingcang's arms. She looked at Mingzhu's charming face and whispered, "Mingzhu, you had no choice before, but now you can choose your future."
