Spoiled By My Ex-Fiance's Uncle
Chapter 210: Greeting the Babies

Chapter 210: Chapter 210: Greeting the Babies

Xu Wanqing, arm in arm with An Yan, passed by Mu Hongsheng. Just as Mu Hongsheng was about to speak, they rushed into the villa like a gust of wind.

Mu Hongsheng sighed lightly, "After all, she is my daughter, yet I don’t even have the right to greet her."

Mu Boyan comforted him, "Just indulge Mom for a bit; she has been longing for this for many years—it wasn’t easy."

Mu Hongsheng disliked hearing that, "It sounds as if I don’t care about my own daughter."

Mu Boyan cleared his throat, "You’re a man! You need to be a bit stronger."

Mu Hongsheng, tired of hearing his flattery, turned to Fu Shiyan, "Shiyan, come and chat with Dad."

Fu Shiyan nodded, greeted Mu Boyan, and then followed Mu Hongsheng toward the study.

Mu Qianfan laughed, "Since Little Five is back, we’ve all fallen out of favor."

Mu Boyan looked at Mu Shaoci, "Big brother, I remember you said that once Little Five was found, you would start going on arranged dates. I think your brilliant life is about to begin."

Mu Shaoci had made up an excuse to avoid the arranged dates.

Now that An Yan was found, his excuse was gone.

He massaged his temples, "I still have documents to review; you guys chat first." With that, he hurried into the villa.

Mu Boyan, watching Mu Qianfan’s sly smile and fearing what he might say next, quickly excused himself as well.

Mu Qianfan chuckled softly and took out his phone to send a message: I’m back, let’s have dinner tonight.

Third floor.

Xu Wanqing led An Yan into a room on the south side, "This room was meticulously prepared for Little Five after we found out that An Yingying was not a member of the Mu Family. We searched for so many years, having hope only to face disappointment again and again. I never thought I would see my own daughter again, but thank God, my darling has finally returned to my side."

An Yan stood on the light pink carpet, looking around at the pink wallpaper, pink vanity, pink curtains, and even the pink bed sheets, duvet cover, and pillows—all part of a pink, girl-themed series.

"How do you like it?" Xu Wanqing asked tentatively.

A sour sensation tinged An Yan’s nose as a wave of warmth surged in her heart.

Thinking she didn’t like it, Xu Wanqing grabbed her hand, quickly saying, "Whatever you don’t like can be changed."

An Yan looked at her, pointing to her own ears, "I’m sorry, I didn’t hear what you said just now. My ears were injured, and now I can’t hear sounds, but I can read lips."

Xu Wanqing knew An Yan had experienced some troubles, but didn’t realize her injuries were so severe.

An Yan, knowing her mother felt distressed for her, held her hand, "Mom, don’t be sad, I can have surgery after the baby is born."

"Baby?" Xu Wanqing looked at her, surprised, then glanced at her abdomen, "You’re pregnant?"

An Yan nodded, "Already eleven weeks, and it’s twins."

That ridiculous engagement banquet was only known to the reporters and media invited to the Gu Family’s old mansion; they uploaded it online immediately, but Mu Shaoze also cleared the networks right away, keeping the news from spreading widely, so only a few people in C nation knew about it.

Xu Wanqing placed her hand on her daughter’s abdomen, "So I’m going to be a grandmother?"

An Yan nodded, "Yes, you are going to be upgraded to grandmother."

Xu Wanqing was thrilled, "Then I need to prepare a nursery."

An Yan smiled, "Sure, let’s do it according to your taste. I really like this room."

Xu Wanqing nodded emphatically, pulling her by the hand to the walk-in closet, "These are all clothes mother prepared for you, see if you like them."

An Yan looked at the several cabinets in the wardrobe.

Spring, summer, autumn, and winter, one cabinet for each season, densely packed with new clothes.

There was also an entire wall of shoes, ranging from flats and high heels to leather boots and snow boots.

In the middle, there was a display cabinet filled with all sorts of jewelry, including gemstones, diamonds, colored glazes, agates, pearls, and more, all in beautiful designs.

"Mom didn’t know your size, so I imagined it to be one size smaller than mine."

An Yan’s eyes reddened, "Thank you, they are my size. They fit perfectly."

Xu Wanqing nodded, "Let me show you this."

They turned a corner and walked to the very back; An Yan was stunned by the sight in front of her.

An entire wall was fitted with six compartments, each filled with beautifully wrapped gift boxes, twenty-one in each layer.

On the right side of each compartment were name tags.

The topmost tag was Xu Wanqing, then Mu Hongsheng, Mu Shaoci and so on, down to Mu Shaoze.

Xu Wanqing said, "These are the birthday gifts we prepared for you. Twenty-one years’ worth; everyone prepared twenty-one."

An Yan covered her face with her hands, the sourness in her eyes uncontainable as her emotions overwhelmed her, and she embraced Xu Wanqing and cried.

"Thank you for never giving up on me, for always searching for me, thank you all."

Xu Wanqing also hugged An Yan and cried, completely letting go of her emotions without caring about appearances.

After a long while, when the mother and daughter had cried enough, they finally broke into smiles.

Xu Wanqing moved all the gifts down, and the two sat on the carpet opening them one after another.

There were rather childish toys and ornaments, as well as exquisite music boxes, notebooks, and to expensive necklaces, earrings, bracelets, and more.

An Yan sat among some gift boxes, her happiness beyond words.

"Have these years been hard?" Xu Wanqing asked.

An Yan shook her head, "Not hard. Although I was abandoned at the age of five and lived on handouts until I was eight, the aunts and uncles in the countryside treated me very well afterward. Grandpa and grandma then adopted me and gave me warmth and the best education. I really feel very lucky. Now that I’ve found you all, I feel very happy."

Indeed, those people had treated An Yan well, but her young heart was still hurt.

For a long period, she was introverted, but fortunately, after grandpa and grandma took her back, they saw a psychologist.

With the company of her brothers, she regained her lively nature.

An Yan didn’t want to tell Xu Wanqing this; she didn’t want to make her sad.

After all, that was all in the past.

Xu Wanqing gently stroked An Yan’s face, "From now on, dad, mom, and your brothers will all be with you. At home, you don’t need to be strong. You can be willful, you can be lawless, you are our little princess."

An Yan leaned her head on Xu Wanqing’s shoulder, "With you all, I am so happy."

Xu Wanqing’s eyes softened, "My daughter will always be happy."

During dinner, the family sat around the round table.

An Yan looked at the heaped shrimp and fish on her plate, feeling like her belly could burst.

Mu Hongsheng asked An Yan, "Little Five, about your name?"

An Yan said, "Dad can decide."

Mu Hongsheng nodded, "You have been called An Yan for twenty-one years now, and you are used to it. Now that you have returned to the Mu Family, let’s add a ’Mu’ at the front."

"Mu Anyan?" An Yan thought it sounded pretty good. She nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Fu Shiyan said, "Tomorrow we’ll go change your name and your household registration."

Xu Wanqing looked at Mu Hongsheng, "Since you’ve decided on Little Five’s name, I’ll decide for my grandchildren."

Mu Hongsheng coughed lightly, "Names require a lot of deliberation. You should spend more time researching recipes. Let me handle these intellectually challenging tasks."

"What do you mean by that?" Xu Wanqing glared at him.

Mu Hongsheng stood up, his face warm with a smile, "You all take your time eating, I’ll flip through a dictionary."

An Yan stifled a laugh and could only look down at her plate with pursed lips.

A piece of sea cucumber was picked up onto the plate, An Yan looked up and heard Xu Wanqing laugh, "Mom knew you were still thinking about the sea cucumber just now. You were too shy to pick it, so mom picked it for you."

An Yan was stunned, "How did you know?"

Xu Wanqing said seriously, "The sea cucumber was just there on that part of the plate, and I saw you keeping an eye on it."

An Yan: "..."

An Yan felt bloated from dinner, and Fu Shiyan accompanied her for a walk around the estate.

Although it was already mid-March, the spring breeze still felt somewhat chilly.

Fu Shiyan adjusted her shawl, "Be sure not to catch a cold, because you can’t take medicine due to the pregnancy, and that would be very tough."

An Yan nodded, "Shiyan, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me."

"Tonight I want to sleep with mom."

Fu Shiyan’s smile stiffened, "Yanyan, what about me?"

"We’ll go back to Bishui Bay tomorrow night, okay?" An Yan winked playfully.

Fu Shiyan was somewhat helpless, after all, mother and daughter had been separated for too long.

But what he hadn’t expected was that the mother and daughter’s stay would last a week.

Fu Shiyan spent the entire week, unable to cuddle his wife at night.

When the two returned to Bishui Bay and just entered the house, Fu Shiyan pinned her against the wall and gave her a deep kiss.

"Yanyan, it’s been twelve weeks now, is it time to say hello to the babies?"
