Little Jia burst into laughter. Ruoxi was too cute.

Ruoxi looked at her seriously. What was so funny?

"Aunty, my homework isn't that hard. If I can't do it on my own, I will ask daddy or Uncle Shaoting to help me."

Ruoxi once again looked at her. Was this little girl trying to make her jealous?

___

Speaking of Lu Shaoting, he was currently the happiest man alive.

In the seventh month of Su Ling's pregnancy, it couldn't be any more obvious that she was expecting twins. They would kick so hard sometimes that the big bellied Su Ling would think they were fighting.

Their happiness was beyond description. They were going to hold their wedding soon after their children were born.

They had already started making preparations.

Lately, Lu Shaoting spent little time at work. He would carry most of his work home and spend most of his time with his Su Ling.

While Su Ling had been dismissed from her office temporarily. Her assistant would drop by and give her documents. She would hold meetings online and if there was anything else that needed her attention, her assistant would give her a call.

Once in a while, she would go to the old Lu residence and have a chat with her future father-in-law.

Their life was quite peaceful. The old man was the happiest.

Not only was his eldest son expecting another child, his second son was expecting twins. Soon, he would have many grandchildren sticking onto him and calling him grandpa. Could he be any happier?

Lu Aotian had not mentioned a word of Wan Jia's current condition to him and Lu Shaoting. He did not want his father and little brother to worry too much.

...

Wan Jia was calm for the next days. Nothing seemed to be wrong. The baby had in fact calmed down and there was no longer any need to rush her into induced labor.

However, that was only the calm before the storm. On the fourth day, the baby was in stress.

The doctor did not want to alarm Wan Jia so he acted calm and called Lu Aotian aside.

"President Lu, it doesn't look good. If this continues, the baby might hurt the mother. The downside is that by hurting its mother, we cannot tell for sure that it will survive. Both of them might end up hurt or even worse." The doctor sweat as he explained to Lu Aotian.

Lu Aotian felt a shiver down his spine. "Tell me. What must be done?"

He could swear that his mind had stopped functioning for a while. His eyes were wide with a kind of fear that had never been seen on him before.

"The only solution is to induce labor and let the baby be born prematurely. It is not too early so you have nothing to worry about. There are still chances that it will be completely fine."

Lu Aotian knew that doctors would try to make it sound less serious than it really was so he wouldn't worry too much. Those chances of being completely fine seemed to be lower than usual in this case.

If it was so simple, he wouldn't have that expression.

However, he knew that it was the only way to ensure that no harm came to Wan Jia.

Lu Aotian laughed coldly at his imagination. As a father, had he become so heartless towards his own child that he was willing to sacrifice its health to ensure his wife's safety?

But did he have a choice? The vice versa would make him a heartless husband. Neither of the choices was absolutely wrong or right.

This was the most difficult choice Lu Aotian had ever had to make. No, this was not a choice. It was a gamble.

"My wife... will she agree to this?" He mumbled audibly.

The doctor felt helpless. If it was up to him, Mrs. Lu would deliver normally. Lu Aotian loved his wife and unborn child very much. However, he had no power to decide such a matter.

"If you explain the matter to Mrs. Lu, she will definitely say yes."

___

"No!"

As he expected, Wan Jia did not agree to it.

"I don't want to. What if my baby develops complications?"

Lu Aotian held her shoulders. "Honey, it will be fine. If not, you might get hurt."

Wan Jia pushed his hands off her. "Then so be it Lu Aotian. I will not allow my baby to be born with any complication. I will wait for the right time."

Lu Aotian helplessly looked at her. "But no one said that he will definitely have complications. My love, you are only scaring yourself by speculating things."

"How am I speculating things?

Years ago, I was told the same thing; everything will be alright. But what happened to my baby? Was she alright in the end?"

Lu Aotian had no way to refute her reasoning. While they thought that Little Jia would be fine, her immunity was low. She contracted such a scary illness in the end.

"It is you, Lu Aotian, who is speculating things. Do you believe the doctors simply because they said so? Who will take the blame if something goes wrong?

She grabbed his hand with teary eyes. "Aotian, why don't we just be cautious? Two months is not a long time. We can make it."

"Wanwan..."

"I know. You are worried about me the most. But you are worried about our baby as well, right? Please... please let's wait for two months, okay? Just two more months."

Lu Aotian sighed. How did she manage to say that two months was a short amount of time?

"Wanwan no. We cannot wait any longer. The longer we drag it, the more dangerous it is."
