Chapter 607: Owe a Huge Favor!

~8 min read 1,599 words

Sun Hai then came to the side of the crib, looking at his twin daughters; he was so moved that he couldn't help but start wiping away tears again.

"Sun Hai is just the same as before, especially prone to crying," Du Xi muttered in a low voice.

"This monkey has always been a sentimental person!"

Tang Ye pondered in his heart that if he had children, he would probably be unable to control his interest and would be just as excited!

Du Xi picked up one of the babies and handed her to Sun Hai. Sun Hai took her into his arms, but his posture was incredibly awkward, causing Liu Fang to be unable to stop laughing.

"You, you can't even hold a child properly; you really should learn more from Tang Ye."

Sun Hai glanced at Tang Ye with unconvinced eyes: "Tang Seng, you hold one and show me; let's compare."

Tang Ye originally wanted to decline, but Du Xi had already handed the other girl to him.

Tang Ye had no choice but to take her into his arms. Seeing this, Sun Hai sighed with emotion: "As expected, you hold them much more properly."

Tang Ye smiled and said: "You'll get used to it after holding them a few more times."

At this moment, the child started crying, and Tang Ye knew she was hungry. Liu Fang took one of them and gently lifted the corner of her shirt to prepare to breastfeed. Tang Ye tactfully walked out of the ward, and Sun Hai followed him out closely; the two arrived at a secluded corner.

Sun Hai sighed softly: "Once I see the children, I feel like my heart is instantly healed; the grievances I've suffered these past few days have all vanished into thin air."

Tang Ye patted him on the shoulder: "You've worked hard."

Sun Hai sighed: "In the end, it was my own fault. At the time, I thought about hiring a few people with prison records to bolster our image so that others wouldn't dare to provoke us easily, but I didn't expect things to end up in such a state."

Tang Ye understood Sun Hai's mindset; how could he have such high awareness, truly wanting to solve the employment problem of former convicts for the local Government? He hired these people merely to increase his deterrent power. After all, the transport engineering company dealt with a complex social group, and if they were too honest and submissive, they would easily be looked down upon. Sun Hai hired this group of former convicts, to put it bluntly, not to use them for fighting and bullying, but simply as "vases" to put on a front, so that others would not dare to provoke them easily.

Tang Ye chuckled: "A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit; after this incident, it can be considered a good lesson for you."

A glimmer of light flashed in Sun Hai's eyes: "For a period of time before, I was always immersed in the 'Big Brother' titles others called me, truly thinking I had become some kind of social big shot. Now that reality has slapped me, I finally understand that 'social big shot' is not a good title at all, and mixing with the underworld is digging one's own grave. Don't worry, I will definitely do business honestly in the future, do more charity, and walk on the right and bright path."

Tang Ye nodded slightly: "It is very good that you can have this kind of realization."

Sun Hai lowered his voice: "When the County Public Security Bureau interrogated me, they always wanted me to admit that I had a connection with you. Every time I encountered this question, I deliberately avoided it. I feel that someone wants to use me to harm you."

Tang Ye pondered to himself; that Sun Hai could figure out this connection meant he had made progress. "This matter involves more than just you; someone wants to use you to drag me into the water, and subsequently affect Du Xi's father."

Sun Hai asked in surprise: "Who is it?"

Tang Ye said: "You should be able to guess."

Sun Hai was silent for a moment, then hesitated: "It wouldn't be Shen Mingcheng, would it?"

Tang Ye nodded calmly: "His heart is already twisted now; he feels that all these problems that have emerged in Tianling are because my father-in-law did not support him."

Sun Hai said indignantly: "This guy has a crooked mind and has stirred up Tianling County into a foul mess. To have such a parent-official, I really feel aggrieved for the common people of Tianling County."

A cold glint flashed in Tang Ye's eyes: "I will give you an answer regarding this matter."

With Sun Hai accompanying Liu Fang by her side.

Du Xi could finally be at ease!

"Alright, I'm leaving Fangfang and the babies to you."

"You've worked hard during this time. Come, babies, say goodbye to your godfather and godmother!"

Sun Hai held Da Ni and smiled as he saw the two off at the door.

Before leaving, Du Xi gave Sun Hai many more detailed instructions.

After Tang Ye and Du Xi had both left, Sun Hai sighed: "I usually see Du Xi as being careless, but I didn't expect her to be so thoughtful."

Liu Fang looked at the twins in the crib and said softly: "They are so lucky to have such a godfather and godmother; they will be able to avoid many detours in the future."

Sun Hai smiled and replied: "My wife is still the smart one! You've bought a valuable insurance policy for the babies."

Liu Fang's tone suddenly became serious: "Sun Hai, this time we really owe a huge favor. When my water broke, there was no one to call for help; you weren't by my side, and I was truly desperate. It was Tang Ye and Du Xi who helped me solve all the trouble at that time."

Sun Hai reassured her: "We will definitely find an opportunity in the future to properly repay this favor."

On the other side, Tang Ye and Du Xi returned to Xiyue Garden. After turning on the air conditioner, the room quickly warmed up.

The two took showers one after the other and snuggled into the quilt to be intimate for a while.

Du Xi held Tang Ye tightly; the stubble on his chin was sharp and hard, like sandpaper, pricking her cheeks until they felt slightly painful.

Tang Ye noticed this detail and got up to shave, but was held back by Du Xi.

"Hubby, giving birth is just too difficult," Du Xi sighed. "Liu Fang had such a good figure before, but after giving birth, her belly is full of stretch marks; it really looks a bit scary."

Tang Ye joked with a smile: "Then how about we don't have any? Look at those celebrities; the difference between those who have given birth and those who haven't is indeed very obvious."

Du Xi thought about it seriously and said in a firm tone: "No, although it looks very scary, I still want to give birth. It's not that I like children that much, but I want to have children for you. I want to use children to hold onto you. Women always have a day when they grow old and lose their looks; one day you will feel that I am not good-looking, and when you are with me, you will see all my shortcomings. At least by then, there will be a bond that will make you still care about me."

Listening to these seemingly extreme yet profound words from Du Xi, Tang Ye pulled her tightly into his arms.

"By the way, hubby, Jiang Rou called me yesterday and said that her physics isn't very good now, and she wants to find a teacher to tutor her," Du Xi said softly.

Tang Ye knew that Jiang Rou and Du Xi were in private contact, so he replied: "I'll help her find a physics teacher; this young girl is actually quite motivated now."

Du Xi sighed: "She has changed so much in these two years; compared to when I first met her, it's a complete transformation. In these few mock exams, her ranking has been rising, and now she's already around fiftieth."

Tang Ye was somewhat surprised that Jiang Rou had progressed so quickly: "Around fiftieth? At this rate, she should be able to get into a 985 university, right?"

Du Xi nodded: "Yes, I think you have a big influence on her. Remember to send her a message when you have time to encourage her."

Tang Ye's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he pondered to himself: Could this be a "death trap" question?

Could it be that Du Xi has hidden meaning in her words and is testing me?

He feigned relaxation and said: "Hey, how much influence could I possibly have on her?"

"The way she looks at you is very similar to how I looked at you in high school," Du Xi said softly. "At that time, I just thought that I must do well on my exams, preferably getting into the same school as you. Although I didn't get my wish in the end, I did achieve my best level and finally chose a university in the same city as you, which can be considered a pretty good school."

The atmosphere was just right.

Du Xi gently told Tang Ye the story she had buried in her heart many years ago.
