Chapter 476: Epilogues: The little Liu's (1)
Five years later.
Liu villa.
It was a bright and sunny morning outside, but in contrast to the sweet melody of the birds chirping around and the sound of leaves whistling in the air, there was complete silence in the room.
Four little kids were huddled up together and curiously but quietly observing their mother with utmost concentration as she was feeding a small baby in her arms.
The baby had its eyes shut and was busy enjoying sucking the delicious milk and filling its tummy.
Nana looked at her children, who were completely focussing on her breastfeeding. She could feel their questioning gazes as they were staring at their little brother, clinging onto her chest, who was just born a few days ago.
Nana chuckled, seeing their adorable faces. “I can see you have all many questions in your minds. How about you ask them?”
Five-year-old Jian spoke first, “Mama! It’s just like before! Little Jin is drinking milk!”
His twin brother Nian bobbed his round head up and down. “It’s just like when Nuo Nuo used to do that when she was a baby.”
Nana smiled. “Yes. Babies drink only milk for the first few months.”
Her two-year-old daughter scrunched up her beautiful brows. Her brown eyes were just like Nana’s. In fact, she looked like Nana’s doppelganger. She had the same wavy hair as Nana, and she had completely inherited her beauty and features from her mother.
Nuo asked as she tilted her head. “I drank milk too like that?”
Her third brother, Jun, smacked on her head. “Of course you did, silly. Mama just said that ALL babies drink milk,” then he shrugged.
Nuo touched her head with her chubby hands and looked at Nana in grievance. “Mama! Third brother hit me!”
Her brown orbs were slightly watery, and her lips had curved into a pout.
“Jun. No hitting your sister,” Nana said with a stern voice, or at least she tried to.
A four-year-old Jun shrugged again.
Nana helplessly chuckled. She still remembered how shocked she and Jinhai were when they realized that she was pregnant again just after two months of her first delivery. It was when they had their first wedding anniversary and ceremony, and that night they had shared after staying away for so long had conceived a little Jun in her womb.
It was shocking because it was completely unexpected; nevertheless, they were thrilled to have a new member in their family.
Liu Hai had even commented, “Wow, son! You sure don’t waste any time. Just two months, and you are already giving your twins another sibling! Hohoho! This is great! I am going to be a grandfather again!”
Jinhai simply smirked. “I guess it was impossible not to get pregnant since it was quite intense that night-“
But he was shut up when Nana stomped her foot on his.
Jinhai was absolutely sure that in her second pregnancy, it would definitely be a girl, so he was impatient for the whole nine months for his child to be born. He had already thought of so many things to do and prepare to welcome his adorable daughter, who he wished to just look like his lovely wife.
But his dreams got crushed when she gave birth to a boy again, who they named Liu Jun.
Naturally, he was happy as long as Nana and their child both were healthy, but he couldn’t help but lament not having a daughter. He didn’t want all boys in his family like Liu Hai or his ancestors in the Liu family who only had boys except Chen Liling and a very few other girls.
With two back-to-back pregnancies, Nana was advised to rest at least for a year. And then, another year later, Nana asked Jinhai if they could try for another child to have a daughter because she knew how much Jinhai really wanted to have one, even more than herself, and so she wanted to try again. It ached her heart to see that longing in his gaze for a daughter which wasn’t fulfilled.
Of course, Jinhai wanted a daughter, but at the same time, he didn’t want Nana to go through the pregnancy pain again. Pregnancy is uncomfortable at times in those nine months, and he didn’t want Nana to suffer anymore. It took a long time for her to convince him that everything would be fine, and after a lengthy discussion, he agreed.
And finally, their little princess was born – Liu Nuo.
That was the happiest moment in his life when he held his princess in his arms for the first time. His gaze teared up, and he couldn’t help but cry in joy.
And just like he wanted, Nuo looked exactly like Nana. Her brown eyes were breathtaking, and the moment she first smiled at him, it felt like he wanted nothing else in this world. That was the most precious moment for him.
Nuo’s birth became the reason for the biggest celebration in the Liu family because after so long, a girl was born. Everybody’s happiness knew no bounds.
Nana was also satisfied to see her family complete now.
But two years later, nine months before the current time, they were once again shocked to know that Nana was pregnant for the fourth time.
Jinhai stared at her dumbfounded when he learned it. “You are pregnant?”
Nana dazedly nodded. “Yes.”
“But how? I don’t understand. We used protection, and the time when we did not, you were in your safe period.”
Nana coughed. “Well…actually, you see…I made a mistake. I realized this when I backtracked my cycle. I got confused with the dates of the last month, so it got messed up, and so my safe days were fertile and fertile days were actually safe hehe…”
Jinhai’s mouth twitched. He facepalmed.
Nana sheepishly grinned and sweetly asked, “I know it’s an accident but are you not happy?”
Jinhai narrowed his eyes and pulled her in his arms. “You…” he pinched her nose. “How can I not be happy? It took me by surprise, but…after three pregnancies, I really really didn’t want to make you go through another.”
Nana hopped in his embrace. “I will be fine. As long as you are with me, I don’t find anything difficult at all!”
Jinhai chuckled. He kissed her forehead. “Well then, let’s give this good news to everybody.”
