"Are you okay?"

"If you don't come out, I'll go in."

Chen Mi knocked on the door anxiously because Ni Jia had been in the bathroom for twenty minutes, and if it was longer, the baby would be born.

As soon as she finished speaking, the bathroom door was slowly pushed open. Ni Jia was holding the pregnancy test stick in her hand, her lips were slightly pale, and her eyes were looking at her best friend with some emptiness.

"Mi Mi," she said with an ugly smile, "You may have to accompany me to the hospital."

The next afternoon, the two sat on the iron chairs in the hospital corridor holding the ultrasound report, both of them were a little confused. The report showed a twin pregnancy.

"I'm going to be a godmother?" Chen Mi stared blankly ahead: "Or two?"

Ni Jia was still in shock. If she said that there was no hope at all in the past two years, she would definitely be lying. But later, Li Yucheng started to ask Aunt Tong to send her contraceptives, and her hope was naturally extinguished.

Ni Jia touched her belly. It was hard to imagine that there were two living lives growing inside that thin layer of belly.

"You're taking birth control pills, what's going on?"

"I don't know." Ni Jia felt his palms getting hot. In addition to sadness, he was also excited. "I did take medicine every time afterward."

"Is there something wrong with the medicine?"

This requires asking Aunt Tong, but if Aunt Tong finds out, the Li family will naturally not be able to keep it secret. Li Yucheng hates her and the child so much that he will never let her give birth to the child.

"Are you still going to get a divorce?" Chen Mi looked at her best friend with some concern.

Thinking of this, Ni Jia answered quickly and decisively: "Divorce."

It was just a pity for the two children, who might not have their father by their side in the future. She lowered her head and tightly grasped the ultrasound report, and the two of them left the hospital.

When Ni Jia and Chen Mi arrived at the Civil Affairs Bureau on Monday morning, Li Yucheng had not arrived yet.

She was wearing a red dress today, so bright that it looked like she was here to register for marriage. Li Yucheng arrived on time at ten o'clock.

Getting out of the black Rolls-Royce, still wearing the same suit that he had worn for thousands of years, in Ni Jia's eyes, there were only various suits in the wardrobe. They had different colors and styles, but they all gave people a sense of alienation.

"It's like wearing mourning clothes." Chen Mi complained.

"Wait for me outside."

When Li Yucheng approached, the two of them just looked at each other and then turned and went into the Civil Affairs Bureau.

"Would you dress too festively for a day like this?"

"Isn't there a need to celebrate?" Ni Jia asked back.

"That's right." Li Yucheng turned his watch. Although he felt unhappy, he still pulled out a chair and sat down: "Then congratulations."

Ni Jia took out the equally bright red marriage certificate and said meaningfully, "You really should congratulate me."

The red stamp fell, and the two received another notebook, still red.

Ni Jia put on full makeup today, with her thick black hair falling down, forming a sharp contrast and very eye-catching.

She held the notebook in her hand, with a polite smile on her face the whole time. She had taken this marriage seriously from the beginning to the end, and there was nothing to regret.

"I'll take care of the mansion and won't let them disturb you." Li Yucheng's mood seemed to have not changed throughout the whole process. In Ni Jia's eyes, it has always been like this.

Li Yucheng devoted all his joy, anger, sorrow and happiness to his work. The only time he showed anger was when he mentioned the child.

When they first got married, she had no idea why the other party insisted on being a DINK, but later on, Ni Jia seemed to understand a little.

Li Yucheng just didn't want to have a child with her, just like she always refused to let him enter her heart.

"This is what you should do." Ni Jia did not say thank you. The marriage was completely over and she no longer had to please anyone.

Li Yucheng was a little surprised by Ni Jia's recent attitude. He guessed that maybe it was because he felt there was no hope, so he finally couldn't pretend anymore.

"Do I need to take you back?"

"Need not."

"Goodbye."

After Li Yucheng finished speaking, he brushed past his ex-wife's shoulder and left the Civil Affairs Hall. Ni Jia's hands, which were hanging at her sides, gradually rose up to cover her stomach.

I hope her children can't hear this.

"Jia Jia, let's go back." Chen Mi came to greet her as soon as she came out.

Ni Jia looked at the gray sky outside, and could no longer pretend to be happy. Here, there were news and industries about Li Yucheng everywhere.

She didn't want to stay any longer because she had to deal with her family.

"Mi Mi, is Switzerland fun?"

-----

Capital Airport five years later.

Two children who look exactly the same, one holding a Rubik's Cube and the other carrying a small bag.

The former held the other's hand unhappily.

"Ni Haohao, if you run again, I will let go."

"You want to play with your broken Rubik's Cube again. Aren't you done with it?"

Ni Haohao didn't let her play and held her hand even tighter. There were a lot of people here and her mommy was waiting for the luggage and told her not to let go.

"You can disrupt it again."

"You're boring, Ni Hao."

Ni Hao didn't care much about what her sister said. She pulled her hand away and pointed at the other person's electronic watch: "Time me."

"Stop playing." Ni Haohao was not very willing. The task of timing Ni Hao every day was very boring. She looked around and her eyes finally locked on a man not far away.

With her beautiful almond-shaped eyes wide open, she tugged at Ni Hao's arm, leaned over to cover her face and whispered, "There's a handsome guy over there! Even more handsome than Father Cheng!"

"Don't be such a fangirl." Ni Hao ignored her and concentrated on working on his Rubik's Cube.

"Really? Look, I'm lying to you, little dog."

"Godmother has always called me mommy, Goujia, if you really say that, it seems to be okay."

"Look, his Rubik's Cube is much bigger than yours!"

These words successfully caught Ni Hao's attention. She looked up, her sight sweeping from bottom to top, and stopped when she saw the magic square in her hand.

"I can do the fifth level, too."

Of course Haohao knew, but she insisted on luring her sister over so that if mommy asked, she wouldn't have to be scolded alone~

"I don't believe it. Yours is obviously much simpler."

Ni Hao walked towards the man without saying a word, and Haohao immediately followed.

"Hi," Ni Hao greeted politely, and then pointed at the Rubik's Cube in the other person's hand: "Can I try it?"

Li Yucheng looked down at the child and had no intention of paying attention to him, but when he saw that the other party was holding a third-order Rubik's Cube in his hand, he changed his mind and raised his eyebrows.

"Can you play?"

It took Ni Hao less than five seconds to lower his head and immediately put the Rubik's Cube in his hand back to its place, then he held it up and handed it to the other party to prove his strength.

This speed is quite interesting. Li Yucheng handed over his fifth-order Rubik's Cube, and his voice was not gentle: "Got it."

Ni Hao handed her three-level Rubik's Cube to Hao Hao, who held the Rubik's Cube in his hands and acted like a fangirl, while not forgetting to encourage him: "Come on."

"Yeah." Before Ni Hao started, she checked her electronic watch. She was used to timing herself and then breaking it again and again.

It was difficult for the little hands to hold the Rubik's Cube, but the speed of twisting it was faster than Li Yucheng had imagined. This surprised him again, and he couldn't help but look at the child carefully again.

Haohao shuffled the Rubik's Cube in his hand, then handed it to Li Yucheng: "You do it."

She adjusted her watch, stared at Li Yucheng with a blushing face, and seemed to hope that he would cooperate.

Li Yucheng did not show any impatience. His eagle eyes softened for a rare moment and scanned the two identical little faces. Then he whispered, "Give the order."

Haohao was so excited that he squeezed his hands and shouted happily, "Let's start."

In the blink of an eye, the Rubik's Cube in Li Yucheng's hand returned to its original position, as if he had grasped something. He excitedly shouted to the side: "Ha~ He is faster than you, less than five seconds!"

While Ni Hao was turning the Rubik's Cube, she took a look at the man, her small eyes full of stubborn defiance.

"Let's compete again," she said.

Secretary Li walked to the side with a suitcase and waited quietly in order not to disturb the president's rare interest. Soon he found that the child in front of him looked familiar.

Isn’t this the new child model? Wait, they’re twins?

"Which one of you is the older sister?"

"Guess." Ni Haohao answered Secretary Li's words, but her eyes were always fixed on Li Yucheng.

"I guess it's her." Secretary Li pointed at Ni Hao who was fiddling with the Rubik's Cube.

Haohao turned a deaf ear to him, stared at Li Yucheng and asked again: "Uncle, what do you think?"

Li Yucheng seldom answered such boring questions, but the fifth-order Rubik's Cube that was gradually taking shape in the little girl's hand gave him more patience.

He nodded his chin in Ni Hao's direction.

Haohao was not happy, and hummed softly: "I am!"

Cheng Wenbo had been watching from a distance, and only walked towards the two people when the Rubik's Cube was almost restored. He had always advocated that children should be independent and only gave them reminders in a low voice from behind.

"We're leaving now."

The two looked at each other, and Li Yucheng found that the other person was a little shorter than him, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and a Jaeger-LeCoultre watch on his hand.

Ni Hao happened to reset the fifth-order Rubik's Cube. She stopped the stopwatch, handed the Rubik's Cube back to its owner, and politely corrected him, "You guessed correctly."

"You're so annoying!" Haohao carried her small bag, ran towards Cheng's father unwillingly, and hugged his thigh.

Retracting his gaze, Li Yucheng did not take the fifth-order Rubik's Cube, but only said: "I'll give it to you."

Ni Hao immediately stuffed the things back and stood on tiptoe to take back her Rubik's Cube from Li Yucheng: "No need to change."

Her 3x3 Rubik's Cube was bought by her mom, so she doesn't want to give it to anyone else.

"Baby!" Chen Mi approached and put one of them in her hand. She didn't even look at Li Yucheng. She just squatted down and touched the two little heads in a low voice: "The bus is here. It's time to go."

"Fuck..." As soon as Haohao opened his mouth, his mouth was covered. Chen Mi narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying deliberately: "Hold Daddy Cheng's hand tightly and stop running around, little ancestor."

From the moment Chen Mi appeared, Li Yucheng subconsciously looked up and around, but did not find any other familiar figures.

"Thank you." Ni Hao suddenly spoke to Li Yucheng. He had to look at the little guy in front of him again, and suddenly an impulse arose in his heart.

"May I have your name."

"Hello Ni."

Li Yucheng thought about it and squatted down. For the first time, he extended his hand to a child so young: "Hello, my name is Li Yucheng."
