she can no longer be tricky
"Nana Luo, I need something that I can use until the last stage of pregnancy. I will not have time to buy something again when I get bigger," Xiao Yuyu said while checking the maternity clothes on the display rack.
"Don't worry, I know what you need. We have to look for something that has an opening like this,' nana Luo showing her an example of a breast feeding outfit, "so you can still use it after giving birth. You will not have time to shop. Once the two arrives you will need to breast feed those two little darlings." Nana Luo picked the maternity clothes with breast feeding access.
"Try these first," she said, handing her the clothes she picked. Yuyu went to the changing room afterwards and adore her bigger curves. She liked her figure now. Even though she have a protruding tummy, her body looked more curvy. She looked at the mirror and cant help but praise this stage of being a woman.
Unknown to them, Ming YaoFeng just passed by the baby shop store where they have just been, which is adjacent to the maternity section.
They were shopping for her as she can no longer go out to the mall soon. When Night has a tight schedule, they go to the mall to buy necessities for her room.
They were able to settle some baby items and her room already looks very ready for the arrival of the children.

Nana Luo also insisted that she cut her hair short to ease her troubles in the coming months. Since she's already at it, she also requested the attending stylist to color her hair as nana Luo said she will have no time for herself soon. The attendant was very kind as to inform her that their process of coloring her hair purple is safe for the baby, if not, she would not go through it.
She felt like really moving forward without her husband. New hair, new clothing style, new people in her life. What a relief!

Since the day Ming YaoFeng got Assistant Xu's phone, he never received a message from Xiao Yuyu.
He was in the middle of an important meeting one day when he received a call. It was from the security of the villa calling him.
"Sir, there are people here claiming a delivery ordered by your wife, but we cannot contact her number. They have the papers though. I cannot let them in without any of the two of you," the security personnel explained.
"I will be there immediately." He left the meeting and the Assistant Xu was left to fix his trouble.
---
The security personnel passed him the papers of the delivery truck.
He authorized their entry and they headed to his house. They also have a blueprint of the room where they will place the ordered item.
YaoFeng frowned as he watched the people assemble it outside the house. They cannot work inside as they will dirty the wife's floors.
Two cribs? What would they do with it?
The people asked permission to go to the room according to the blueprint so they can place the cribs inside the room accordingly.
He led the way and was surprised to see her old room. He did not know that the previous people who installed the carpet had also worked inside her old room. There was nothing in the room!
Had they been robbed? The floor and the walls had been changed to something like their floors downstairs!
When the people set the cribs, they had him sign completion of order and they left. It felt like something was gripping his heart. Did she want children?
He ran to the third room and he almost couldn't open it. All of her things were squeezed there. The bed, the side tables, lamp, chemistry materials, books, tables, even her wall notes of formulas. Her dream works were all tossed in a box as if she no longer wants chemistry.
Is that how much she hated him? Is that how much he hurt her to even throw her dreams away? He felt deeply hurt.

Who knows how many weeks passed when Night barged to his office asking for her sister.
He was stunned. He has forgotten Night. And now he wanted his sister back! He himself also wanted his wife back!
"Where is Yuyu?" Night was at the ends of his patience.
"She left me." He was lifeless; like the time after the accident.
Night took a deep breath. "Just tell me what happened."
Ming YaoFeng retold the story including Cheng MeiMei's back story. Night's fury dispersed as he only pitied the man before him.
"We will not find her. Obviously, she was hurt and her firewall is as great as the Great wall of China. Let's send her more money." Night was very straightforward and optimistic in that idea.
"She blocked me." YaoFeng said miserably. As much as he wanted to give her all his money, how can he give it to her when she doesn't want his money.

The hired people has alarmed Sandy so she called the home number immediately and reported that a Ming is having a cast search for their little sister.
This has caused panic on Night and soon he found out that it was YaoFeng's people doing the search.
Night fished out his phone and dialed her sister's number. They waited but no one pick-up. He used a different number and it was picked-up automatically.
He set it to loudspeaker. "What's up?" her voice was a bit distant but clear.
The two of them eyed each other.
"Yo, sister, when can we meet?" he asked.
"I can't. I'm busy. (my belly is big, she thought)," she replied.
"Alright that's fine. Can you help me close a deal? The pay is high!" he said.
"Of course I'll help you, you don't need to pay, we are siblings! How much can you pay?" she replied.
Night's face contorted but continued the conversation. As expected, she's broke. "You name the price, any amount as long as you close the deal."
"Hah! Seems like you are in trouble. If I close the deal, I demand the price?" she confirmed. Her voice sounded closer as if her interest was picked and she held the phone close to her, they could hear her breath.
Night eyed YaoFeng. He does not have a current collaboration.
"Yes. I can make a transfer now if you want."
"Okay, send me first fifty thousand dollars." she said.
Night lost focus of the deal. "Why dollars? Are you going to U.S.?"
"Nope. I want money in my dollar account. I want to find Sandy." she said honestly.
"Sandy is looking for you! That's also the reason why I am looking for you! I just forgot to tell you. Where are you?" he was excited, forgetting his brother-in-law.
"Where is she staying? Is she going home here? I mean, is she going back home to our house? The house where we live? I mean the old villa where all of us used to live?" she was so excited she's forgetting she's hiding. She also did not noticed why Sandy would look for her.
"Yeah, she'll arrive tomorrow." Night said, feeling the deathly atmosphere of the forgotten husband of her sister. "Uh, sister, about the deal, I will transfer now the money to your dollar account." he said.
"NO! Don't transfer. I will check if I want it in dollars or pounds. Who's the other party?" she asked.
Night looked at the other person near him. "Ming Corporation."
There was silence.
"Okay. I will send you a link where I can receive your proposal. The deal will be signed once I talk with Sandy." she hung up and called Nana Luo.
---
"We need to hurry. Call the helpers!" Xiao Yuyu exclaimed.
Nana Luo came running with a ladle, "What happened?"
"We need to take away my furniture at Sandy's room! She is coming over tomorrow night! Transfer everything to Alex's room!"
---
"Take this chance to keep your wife. She will surely contact you to sign the agreement. We will make it like, both companies are investing on a project. Then, the two parties will sign it. During the signing day, don't make a mistake." Night warned his brother in law.
"If your sister is coming home to see the other sister Sandy, can't I just come over?" YaoFeng asked.
"She may now interfere on Sandy's flight and ambush her on the way. She could be in the U.S. or places that use dollars. My sister is tricky, you don't know your wife." Night was very sure of this.
What he was not aware of is that, she can no longer be tricky because she's pregnant!
--
Ming YaoFeng cannot wait until that sister Sandy arrives so his wife can have her sister's talk. He was looking forward for the fake agreement deal be signed. He will see his wife! and he knows she cannot escape him this time. He missed her everyday and he just wanted to hug her and keep her in his arms.
