Chapter 370: Screwing With Me

370

Bin An Sha, the intelligent man that I knew him to be, looked at me with a sigh. "I had gone with them for a while," he started with a grunt. He remained standing in the corner, not meeting my eyes but still not turning his head. "Wang Chao had asked me to look at his wife."

"Ah," I said, washing my hands in the ensuite bathroom. "I see."

"Apparently, she is a very ex, ex girlfriend," bit out Bin An Sha, his jaw clenching as he finally admitted it.

Wang Chao snorted. "More like ex wife," the dick head said. I narrowed my eyes at him, cocking my head to the side. Was he really that dumb to piss off the only two doctors that he had access to?

But hearing that Li Dai Lu was Bin An Sha’s ex wife was like a knife to my gut.

"We agree to disagree on that one," replied Bin An Sha as a knife appeared out of nowhere. "I don’t actually remember anything that they are claiming."

"But you felt the same pull to her that we did," sneered Liu Yu Zeng. And yet another one was going out of his way to make sure that his wife did not receive the best care possible. It made me wonder if foot in mouth disease was contagious or something.

"I had a voice inside of my head that told me to serve the queen," admitted Bin An Sha. "But that voice disappeared the second you left me alone in City H. And then I met Wang Tian Mu."

"You also tried to kill Li Dai Lu a few times," interjected Liu Wei, never once looking away from where his woman was panting on the bed. Her hand was still held firmly in his own.

"I gave her mud water. It’s not like I had ever heard of a case of someone being allergic to mushrooms before. Besides, there are numerous health benefits to mud water that coffee just doesn’t have." Bin An Sha looked personally offended when Liu Wei had attacked his favorite drink.

I was just lucky that there were no more energy drinks around. He and I might have come to blows if and when he tried to take them from me.

But I can’t say that I like how the others were ganging up on him.

"Apparently, I was married to her in a different life," grumbled Bin An Sha, his eyes finally meeting my own. "I don’t really remember it. I have nothing to do with her, and I think I was stuck in the same house with her longer when she brought you to me than any time in my life before. Please, it’s not what you think. I don’t have feelings for her."

That was the moment it hit me: Bin An Sha was scared and stressed. "What happened in your life before you met me is none of my business. Especially when you can’t even remember it." Laughing, I walked up to him and pulled his head down for a kiss.

"I am not going anywhere," I assured him. "If you are more attracted to her than to me, then by all means, I won’t cling to something that isn’t mine."

Bin An Sha reared back, a panicked look on his face.

"But that isn’t the issue, is it?" I continued, laying a soft kiss on his lips.

"You are the only one that I want," he said, his eyes staring at me in earnest. I don’t think that I ever remember him looking at me this way before.

"Then you have me," I smiled at him. Then I spun around to look at the other four men in the room. "And if you all want to be shit disturbers, I am more than happy to ask my amazing mother in law for a quick exit. I will not help anyone who doesn’t treat my men like they deserve."

Chen Zi Han’s eyes widened at my threat. "We’ll play nice," he assured me. "There are some insecurities on our end, too."

"Clearly, there doesn’t need to be," I replied, raising my eyebrow as Li Dai Lu let out yet another long string of curse words. "Am I helping your wife? Or are you pissing me off?"

I guess that the devil was out in full force today because the angel was oddly silent as I offered that ultimatum.

"Please, help her. She considers you her best friend," Wang Chao answered, and I nodded my head.

I felt bad for Bin An Sha because he was in the same boat that I was in. Neither one of us seemed to remember our past lives when this family of five did nothing but judge everyone based on it.

From the little time that I had spent with Li Dai Lu, I knew that there was a good chance of us being friends, especially if we had to survive Camp Hell together.

And she had come out and admitted on our walk that she felt guilty that she escaped and I was killed.

But without Rip there, I think death would have been the nicer ending, as far as I was concerned, and I had told her that.

Still, she didn’t seem to believe me. She had experienced years of us being together, and I barely knew her name.

No, I wasn’t going to be pissed at Bin An Sha for something that happened in a past life that he knew nothing about. Just like I wasn’t going to pretend to be her best friend simply because she remembered us that way.

But that didn’t mean that I wouldn’t be willing to make friends either.

Something told me that with these people, it was always better to remain on their good side.

Not saying a word, I walked back to the bed and kneeled in front of Li Dai Lu, ready to help her out on this momentous occasion.

----

The birth of the twins was both incredibly hard and one of the easiest births I had ever witnessed. The little girl came first, already screaming before her face and mouth were even out of the birth canal.

As soon as everyone heard her voice, it was like time stopped for a second as she slid right into my waiting hands. Quickly drying her off, I wrapped her up in a warm blanket and handed her off to Bin An Sha to make sure that she was okay.

There was no way to record her weight or anything along those lines, but he still made sure that her mouth and nose were clear of any fluid or mucus before handing her off to a very stunned looking Chen Zi Han.

"No," he said, frantically shaking his head as Bin An Sha tried to teach him how to hold the baby properly. "I might drop her or hurt her in some way."

"Don’t worry," assured Bin An Sha. "Babies bounce."

The look on the four men’s faces as they tried to figure out if he was being serious or not caused me to burst out laughing.

"Support the head and the butt," I suggested as I started to press down on Li Dai Lu’s tender stomach.

"Fucking Christ that hurts!" she grunted, causing Liu Yu Zeng to glare at me, his teeth bared. I swear to god that man was worse than a Pitbull with a chew toy sometimes.

"She is making sure that the second baby is able to be born vaginally or if we will have to cut you open to deliver it that way instead," deadpanned Bin An Sha as he all but forced the baby into Chen Zi Han’s arms.

He maneuvered the giant’s arm until his left one was positioned correctly, then placed the head in the crook of his elbow, and her bum resting on his forearm. "Give it a day, and it will feel like the most natural thing in the world," he assured the man before turning his attention to me.

"Baby B is breached," I finally admitted, feeling the head and shoulders of the second baby up high, just under her breasts.

"Then we’ll need to do a C-section," shrugged Bin An Sha like it wasn’t that big of a deal.

And normally I would agree with him on that, but I wanted to try something first.

I allowed my magic to enter Li Dai Lu’s body, this time going deep into her womb where the baby was resting, looking happy and content inside of his home.

"Come on, little one," I sighed, imagining my magic surrounding him and turning him the way he needed to be. "Be a good little boy for Auntie."

I had no idea why I had referred to myself as his Aunt, but I had said it, so I wasn’t going to take it back.

The moment I took my magic away, the baby shifted yet again, this time putting his feet into the birth canal instead of his head.

I think he was screwing with me.
