Kim Kim, with her chubby cheeks and sparkling eyes, patted her father's face with her tiny hand. "Papa!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with pure delight.
Chin Chin, with her soft curls and infectious giggle, tugged at his hair playfully. "Papa, up! Up!" she demanded, wanting to be lifted higher.
Four Eyes couldn't help but laugh, his heart overflowing with love. He lifted them higher, spinning them around gently, eliciting more giggles and squeals of joy from the twins. "I've missed you so much. Papa's here now," he murmured, kissing the tops of their heads. The twins nestled against him, content and happy to have their father back. He felt a sense of completeness; a piece of his heart that had been missing was now restored.
Ling Li watched the heartwarming scene with tears in her eyes, her heart swelling with love and pride. Shi Min and Ren stood nearby, smiling at the touching reunion. Shun, feeling the warmth of the family moment, wrapped an arm around Ren's shoulders and whispered, "Family is everything, isn't it?"
Ren nodded, her eyes shining with happiness. "Yes, it is," she replied, leaning into Shun's embrace. The sight of their father and the twins made her heart feel full.
The twins, still clinging to their father, suddenly noticed their mother and brothers' presence. "Mama! Brudder! Sisser!" they called out excitedly, reaching out their arms towards them.
Ling Li stepped forward, her eyes filled with love. "My precious girls," she murmured, gently taking one of their tiny hands in hers. Shi Min and Ren joined in; the twins' joy was evident in their bright eyes and wide smiles.
When Shi Min stepped forward, Kim Kim reached out her tiny arms to him. Shi Min happily scooped her from Four Eyes. Shi Min, with a playful grin, ruffled Kim Kim's hair. "Missed your brother, huh?" he teased, earning a giggle from the little girl while patting Shi Min's face and giving him tiny kisses on his cheeks.
Ren, her heart full, kissed Chin Chin's cheek. "You've grown so much," she said softly, marveling at how much the twins had changed in such a short time.
Shun stood beside Ren, looking fondly at the twins. "It's amazing how much they've grown," he added, his voice filled with wonder.
The room was filled with a sense of peace and belonging, the bonds of family stronger than ever. As they stood together, sharing this tender moment, they knew that no matter the challenges ahead, they would always have each other. The laughter, the tears, and the shared affection created a tapestry of memories, binding them closer together in a way that words could barely describe.
After sharing these precious moments, the group decided to leave the nursery to freshen up and rest. The men had just returned from Mystic Mountain, and fatigue was beginning to set in. As they walked down the corridor, Four Eyes kept a close eye on Ling Li, his worry evident. He had witnessed her turning pale suddenly when they were about to eat breakfast the day before which made them fly back home immediately, and it had left him deeply concerned.
"Are you sure you're okay, Honey? You should really rest," Four Eyes urged, his voice filled with concern, and held her hand.
Ling Li, though touched by his worry, gently reassured him. "I'm fine, really. You just got back from a long journey. You need to rest, too," she insisted, giving him a gentle smile.
What Four Eyes didn't know was that Ling Li was keeping a secret from him. She was pregnant with triplets and wanted to surprise him with the news on their wedding day, just a month away. Despite her own need for rest, her priority was ensuring that Four Eyes took care of himself.
Ren, noticing the exchange, decided to accompany Shun to their room to freshen up and rest. She led him by the hand, a sense of contentment settling over her.
As they departed, Shi Min lingered for a moment, looking around at everyone. He shook his head with a sigh, thinking to himself, 'It is truly pitiful to be single and surrounded by people showing their PDAs.'
The group slowly dispersed to their respective rooms, each person feeling the weight of their travels and the need for rest. Four Eyes, still worried about Ling Li, kept stealing glances at her as they walked. Ling Li, on the other hand, was filled with excitement and anticipation for the moment she could reveal her joyous news.
Finally, as they reached their room, Four Eyes couldn't hold back his concern any longer. "Ling Li, please promise me you'll take it easy," he pleaded, his eyes searching hers for reassurance.
Ling Li placed a gentle hand on his cheek, her eyes filled with warmth. "I promise," she said softly. "But only if you promise to rest, too."
Reluctantly, Four Eyes nodded, his heart heavy with worry but also with love. He pulled her into a tender embrace, holding her close. "I love you," he whispered.
"And I love you," Ling Li replied, resting her head against his chest, feeling the steady beat of his heart.
Meanwhile, Ren and Shun settled into their room. Shun sank into the plush armchair by the window, exhaustion etched on his face. Ren moved to his side, gently running her fingers through his hair. "You should get some rest," she whispered.
Shun looked up at her, his eyes softening. "Only if you stay with me," he murmured.
Ren smiled, her heart swelling with affection. "Always," she promised, leaning down to kiss his forehead.
As Ling Li, Shi Min, and Four Eyes left the nursery to rest, they dismissed Chatty and Pharsa together with Mushu. Chatty, brimming with energy from his recent breakthroughs, was practically bouncing on his feet. He couldn't contain his enthusiasm and kept clinging to Pharsa, much to her irritation.
Pharsa, struggling to maintain her composure, felt a wave of embarrassment wash over her. She glanced nervously at Mushu, who seemed to be stifling a laugh. Her cheeks flushed as she tried to push Chatty away. "Chatty, stop it! You're behaving like a child," she hissed, her voice a mixture of annoyance and embarrassment.
