Chapter 328 - Li Queen (1/2)

”Damn it!” Muchen's grip tightened around the steering wheel as he accelerated the car even more, hitting a higher speed.

He remembered the day he found out that Sara was pregnant.

He had reluctantly traveled for a business trip outside the country for two weeks.

But everyday, he did not fail to call her at least twice everyday.

Sometimes, he did that during meetings. When he knew it would be really late in country B before the meeting would come to an end and he wouldn't want to call when she was already asleep.

So whenever he called her during business meetings, he only looked at her face to know she was okay, and that was it for the day.

He had missed her terribly. Her smell, her look, her smile, laugh, and her little body when she was pressed to his.

He also missed the way they strolled hand-in-hand and go for dates, with a lot of men checking her out and whispering to themselves.

But he was not bothered about theor interest in his wife. He could not get jealous because of that. Instead, he was proud. Proud that a lot of people admired his wife. Proud that they thought Sara was the perfect one for him. And proud that he was also perfect for her.

One of the nights he had been on a video call with her, he noticed she was not looking very fine.

When the maid called her to come have dinner, immediately she reached the table, she began to gag and dropped her phone to go throw up.

Heaven knows he did not waste another second inside the room he was staying. Immediately, he picked up the relevant things he could find while his secretary booked him a  quick flight to Country B.

Throughout the trip, he was restless. He could not concentrate especially since he could not call anyone.

Immediately he arrived Country B very early the next morning, Sara had been shocked to see him. But unlike the previous day, she did not look sick.

He still did not want to take any chances and had literally scooped her in his arms to take her to the hospital.

”Congratulations CEO Li. Your wife is pregnant” Dr Long had informed him excitedly.

That instant, his heart stopped.

Sara was pregnant? She was really pregnant with his child? He was going to be a daddy while Sara was going to be a mommy?

Sara was carrying their baby inside of her?

He had gasped loudly and used a hand to cover his mouth.

This was really happening.

They were going to be parents?

He could not describe the way he felt. He was beyond elated by the news. And when he saw Sara, all he did was to hug her tightly as he shared the exciting news with her.

”What?” Her eyes bulged out.

”I...we...uhm..” She tried to speak but her voice faltered in her throat.

”You are going to be a mummy” He said the words for her before planting a proud kiss on her forehead.

”Oh My God!” Sara began to pace around as she tried to digest the news.

”I am going to be a mummy?” This was an entirely different phase for her.

She knew this day was going to come but now, she just could not describe how she felt.

”Am I fit to be a mummy? I can't cook, I can't do chores and I don't know much of basic math” She began to ramble in tension.

Muchen began to laugh and took her hands to calm her down.

”You're not the only one pregnant. We're pregnant. So the child isn't just yours but ours. I can cook. Chores aren't that big of a problem, and I can solve even complex math.”

”You joined in raising Joreen so I'm certain you would do a great job” He assured her with a gentle pat on her head.

She paused for a while and asked loudly. ”Oh my God we're pregnant!”

She began to laugh and jumped on him in a hug.

The Wangs and Lis had been so excited that they always paid Sara visits and sent her gifts.

Everyone was so eager to see what a little Sara and Muchen would look like.

And it was finally the D-day!

When he knew that it was almost time for her to give birth, he stopped going to his office and chose to work from home instead so he could keep his eyes on his wife.

But today, he had reluctantly left the house for a quick meeting and it wasn't up to an hour, he received a call from the maid that his wife was in labour.

He sped down the road as his heart continued to race even faster.

When he got to the hospital, he found his parents and Sara's parents waiting in the hallway and was informed that aunt Cixi arrived on time and was inside the birthing room with Sara.

Muchen had never been so tensed in his life.

He could see the others were also tensed especially because the room was soundproofed and they could not hear a thing going on in there.

”Please save Sara. I beg you” He pressed his hands together and began to pray silently.

The 80 minutes he spent pacing around were the longest 80 minutes in his entire life.

No matter how the others tried to calm him, he could not.

Even Minde had arrived a few minutes after he did and had been trying to assure him that his wife and baby were going to be okay but Muchen just couldn't stop his mind from having negative thoughts.

If anything were to happen to Sara, he was not sure he would be able to live.

”Lord I beg you. Please” He continued to pray with his eyes closed and heard the door to the birthing room open. Before the door closed, he heard the faint sound of a baby crying.

Muchen immediately stood up and hurried with the others to meet the Doctor

The doctor who came out was not Doctor Long but rather, a much younger lady who looked exhausted but had a big smile on her face.

”Congratulations. You have a baby girl”

”What about my wife? How is she?” Muchen quickly asked her.

”She is good. A very strong woman I must say. You can go see her now.”

Before she could even finish her statement, he had already opened the door and ran in.

”Oh God! I'm so glad you're safe” He quickly knelt beside her bed and kissed her forehead.

”Did it hurt a lot? Are you okay? Is there anything you want me to do?”

Sara looked very tired. She had used all of her energy to push their daughter out. But seeing Muchen now, she felt energized.

”I am good. We have a girl” The emotion was too much in her voice and so she began to cry tears of joy.

FOUR YEARS LATER

Everyone had a thing or two going on in their lives.

DELIMEAL was the biggest and well-known restaurant in the country and they were planning to expand to other countries.

Minde was married to Eva and they were currently still enjoying their honeymoon.

Heya had graduated from a music school abroad and was going for her masters in Julliard. She did not join G-GLOBAL, but instead, she simply had fun by uploading videos online and had thousands of followers.

She decided not to bother herself with her weight. It was insignificant now. Zhu Liang still adored her and she also adored herself.
