729 Cancel the Wedding? (2/2)
”Possibly, but only if you focus on healing,” Wang Yingjie said.
Iris butted in. ”Okay, that's it. You're taking time off from work, Liwei. Either you focus on healing or we'll cancel the wedding.”
”No!” Jin Liwei glared at her. ”Cancel the wedding? Absolutely not!”
”Not cancel. Just reschedule it, maybe next year.”
”No. We're not cancelling or rescheduling it. We'll have our wedding on the day we planned it and that's final.”
She pursed her lips at him. ”It's not only up to you. Both of us need to agree. And I say that you need to heal from your injuries first. If not, then no wedding this year.”
”Xiulan,” he growled. ”My babies are not going to be born out of wedlock.”
Her face twisted in anger. She was about to call him out for being too old-fashioned when she remembered that she had an older brother who was much worse. So she closed her mouth and swallowed the words she was about to say.
Seeing her restraining herself, Jin Liwei's face and tone gentled. ”Love, I want to give you a special and memorable wedding day, that's why we're having the ceremony and not just going to the Civil Affairs Bureau. I don't want to delay our wedding any longer, especially right now that you're pregnant. It is best for us to marry before we welcome our twins to this world. Don't you think so, too?”
She sighed, unable to deny him when he was so eager for them to marry. However, she still offered a compromise. ”Fine, we'll marry this year. But let's keep our wedding date flexible. I'm sure that you'll heal before the year ends, right? We can marry, then. There's no need to marry on the exact date we planned. We can delay it for a few days, even a few weeks, as long as it's this year. Happy?”
”En. Sounds good,” he told her but inside, he thought, 'I don't want to delay it even for a few days. I'll make sure to heal in time for our original wedding date.'
”I hate to interrupt again when you're having such a serious discussion but we need to finish up soon,” the forgotten Wang Yingjie said. ”Both of you need to rest. Xiulan, you're pregnant now. Remember that it's no longer just yourself you need to take care of but also the babies inside you. Third Brother, you need to focus on healing if you want to have your wedding as scheduled. And as for me, I honestly need to sleep soon. I have to wake up early because I have another big surgery scheduled tomorrow morning.”
Soon after, they bid goodbye to each other. Iris and Jin Liwei left the hospital through a secret entrance. They rode in the car's backseat while Dom sat in the front beside the driver. Jin Liwei had someone send Xu Tian home earlier. He instructed his assistant to rest and granted him a temporary leave from work (paid, of course).
Inside the car, Iris showed Dom the printed ultrasound photos. Her fear of becoming a mother was drowned by excitement.
”Look. These are my babies! I'm going to have twins, Dom. Can you believe it?”
