Chapter 1258 - 1255: Soulmate 5

"Empress Dowager, you have no idea how scared I am..."

She sobbed, "I don’t have a mother myself anymore... I’ve always feared you’d be gone too... If you weren’t here, when I have a child, I wouldn’t even have an elder to look after me... I’m always afraid, hoping every day that it’s a misdiagnosis, hoping you get better soon... Now you’re finally well... It’s truly heaven’s blessing..."

Liu Daqing’s eyes were also wet.

This child.

"Silly child, don’t worry. I exercise regularly; I’m still healthy and strong. Not only will I be by your side when you give birth, but I’ll also wait until my grandson reaches adulthood... Don’t worry, don’t worry, the old one won’t die, the old one won’t die, who knows how you might dislike me then, and this old one still won’t die..."

Yan Xixi was truly overjoyed.

All of a sudden, it felt like she had a huge pillar of support.

She had lost her mother for many years and connected with Liu Daqing initially. Moreover, the age gap between Liu Daqing and her was very large, akin to a grandparent-grandchild relationship, so she never faced the typical mother-in-law’s harshness. Instead, Liu Daqing was always kind and gentle. This was in stark contrast to Huang Xiaojue’s mother at the time—she never saw her as a rival for her son’s affection—but was committed to finding a woman who could care for her son for the rest of his life.

Only then could she fulfill her responsibilities.

"Silly child, don’t worry. Endure well for this month, next month you’ll have your wedding. At that time, you’ll be the most beautiful bride."

"Empress Dowager, you’re organizing everything for me; I’m truly ashamed."

"Haha, what’s there to be ashamed of? A woman, well, she is the Empress for a year! Don’t think that after having a child, you’re free. Rest assured, the troubles are yet to come. Nursing the child, raising the child, educating the child... There’s no rest until he’s in his twenties. Even when he’s an adult, you’ll still worry about his career, marriage, family... In short, once a woman becomes a mother, she constantly worries..."

Yan Xixi dreamily yearned: But it’s worth it, isn’t it?

Humans are like this, allowing for the continuation of life, isn’t that so?

Secret meeting room.

An emergency meeting was underway.

Old Zhang walked in, and the whispers around immediately ceased.

He glanced around, frowning slightly, "Where is Wan Donglin?"

His eldest son said softly, "Donglin has rarely come to work recently. He says his wife is pregnant and needs care, so he’s often at home with her, avoiding all occasions that can be skipped..."

"Who would’ve thought that the third son is still such an affectionate man, wife and kids warm at home..."

"This can be understood. After all, it’s him having a child in middle age, being very careful and concerned is normal..."

"But isn’t this too much? After all, a man should be focused on his career. It seems the third son is distracted..."

Old Zhang waved his hand, and the discussions immediately ceased.

Old Zhang said softly, "Have you all seen this document?"

Everyone looked at each other.

He raised his hand, and a video image appeared on the screen.

Everyone held their breath, disbelief hanging in the air.

After a while, the meeting room suddenly erupted.

"Oh my... This is the real cause of the aviation accident?"

"Has this thing already spread?"

"It’s truly unbelievable, how did they manage this?"

"Look, isn’t that Huang Xiaojue? Oh my... it really is him..."

...

Old Zhang’s face was extremely grim.
