Best man
…..
Twenty minutes later.
Mian's cabin.
"Babe, if you don't tell me how am I supposed to know what I did?" When Mian did not say anything, Zian sighed, "You know keeping quiet is not going to help at all."
"It's nothing, you should go home because I have lots of work to do," she snapped.
Pointing towards her, he snapped, "There there, I saw the crease on your forehead which is a proof that you are super mad at me."
Crossing her arms in the front, she glared at him. "Do you still have no idea what the problem is?"
He vigorously shook his head and answered, "No, I have no idea and this is why I want you to tell me."
"You know what Zian, just forget it. Go home and do your thing, I will be home by evening," she stated before walking out of the cabin.
Grabbing her hand, he hugged her waist from behind and rested his chin on her shoulder. "Babe, don't be mad. You know how awful I feel when you don't talk to me properly, right?"
Turning towards him, she started fidgeting with his tie. "I want a baby."
Helplessly shaking his head, Zian sighed, "I thought we were already done with this conversation."
Scrunching her brows, she complained, "Even Qiang and Guang are having one—"
Cutting him off, he inquired, "Babe, you do realize that baby is a mistake, right? It just happened and now they both have no choice but to accept the fact and focus on a future which has a baby in it."
"But still, no matter what the reason is, they are having a baby and that is the whole point."
Tucking a strand of hair behind her ear, he stated, "Having a baby is not some kind of a competition babe and why are you stressing over it? We can always have one when we are ready, not because someone else is having it."
"You think we are not ready?" she inquired.
Shrugging his shoulder, he answered, "I don't know and I don't wanna have one until I know whether I am ready or not." When she did not say anything, he asked, "Are you understanding what I am trying to say?"
When she slowly nodded her head, he kissed her forehead. "I will pick you up when your work is done, okay?"
After he left, Mian thought for a while before rushing towards her seat. She then opened her laptop and started browsing.
[How to convince your husband to have a baby?]
…..
Evening.
Guang's hospital room.
Placing her hand on her chest, Huiling gasped, "Is that true? Y-You are pregnant?"
Qiang nodded her head and chuckled, "Yes I am."
Huiling, who was still in a state of shock, inquired, "I-I am going to become an aunt?" When Qiang nodded her head, she beamed in excitement, "Oh my God, this is great news. I am going to become an aunt."
"Me too," Becca beamed.
"Me three," Elsa added.
"With the pace you and Guang were going, I was sure something like this would happen someday but I did not expect it to happen so soon," Becca chuckled.
Smacking her arm, Qiang complained, "What do you mean by that?"
"Are you kidding me? You both are always into each other, this was bound to happen."
While the girls were having their own heartfelt conversation, the boys were discussing their own thing.
"Dude why so early?" Ashton sighed.
Shrugging his shoulder, Guang chuckled, "Not something I was planning to have so early but since it has happened, I don't mind."
"You know, I always thought that Yushen would be the first one to become a dad from all of us," Yinhai chuckled.
Nodding his head in agreement, Ashton added, "I always thought you are the one who is very particular and careful when it comes to things like using protection but well, I couldn't be more wrong."
"We were careful but maybe if something is bound to happen, there is nothing we can do to stop it," Guang stated. Looking at Qiang who was busy talking with the girls, he added, "Now I need your guys to help me with something. Since I am here and there is no way Qiang will let me leave this hospital room at any cost, I want you guys to make a few arrangements for me. Please keep it lowkey and make sure she doesn't find out about it."
"Okay, what do you want us to do?"
Inching closer, he explained the entire plan to Ashton and Yinhai. "So what do you think?"
"That is amazing, I like the plan but I have a question." Pausing for a while, Ashton inquired, "Who is going to be your best man?"
"Pfft is that even a question? It's obviously going to be me, Guang and I are childhood buddies and—"
Cutting him off, Ashton snapped, "Are you trying to say that I am not friends with you all when I was a kid?"
"You were always running after the girls when we were small and—"
"Dude, what are you talking about? I used to always hang out with you all when we were in kindergarten," Ashton retorted.
Looking around, Guang whispered, "Guys you gotta low down your voice other Qiang is—"
"I am not talking about kindergarten, I am talking about high school." Pausing for a while, Yinhai snapped, "You were never with us, it was always Guang, me and Yushen who used to hang out everywhere."
"Hey, it wasn't my fault that you guys sucked at being friends with girls and what do you mean by hung out everywhere? When you used to help out Annie Meglona during recess, I am sure you were definitely not hanging out with them," Ashton snapped.
"Wait what? Annie Meglona? The one who used to wear small clothes?" Becca inquired.
Ashton vigorously nodded his head and added, "Uh huh, Yinhai used to help her with the math homework because she used to flash him her boobs."
Becca gasped and squealed in annoyance, "You saw Annie Meglona's boobs?"
"I just saw them but Ashton has touched them," Yinhai yelled.
Smacking Ashton's arm, Elsa frowned, "You touched Annie Meglona's boobs?"
"Hey that was a mistake and it happened just one time when she tripped. Her boobs just landed right on my hands and I could do nothing." Pausing for a while, Ashton added, "Babe, you don't even know who Annie Meglona is."
"That is not the point, the point is that I just found out you touched someone else's assets." Without waiting for his reply, Elsa walked out of the room.
Placing her hand on her waist, Becca snapped, "You should go and look for Annie Meglona."
"Honey I—" When she started walking out of the room, Yinhai widened his eyes in shock and quickly followed her.
"What just happened? I thought you guys were just talking," Qiang chuckled.
Shrugging his shoulder, Guang answered, "I don't know what happened to them, we were just talking."
Glancing at the watch, Huiling remarked, "Alright, I'll take my leave now, Huang will pick me up." Giving Qiang a hug, she added, "Take care of yourself, okay? Let's talk properly after this stupid brother of mine is all healthy again."
After Huiling left, Guang grabbed Qiang's hand. "Come, lie down with me."
Without saying anything, she lied down on her side of the bed and snuggled closer. "Everything went well, I feel so relieved and happy."
"I told you not to worry about anything, you were the one who kept getting panic attacks," he sighed.
Placing her hand on her belly, she smiled, "Our baby is very lucky."
"Obviously, it's our baby after all." Gently caressing her face, he added, "I will fix everything, okay? I promise."
"What are you talking about? Everything is okay now." Placing her hand on his cheek, she smiled, "You already fixed everything. Now just recover as fast as you can so that I can start throwing my pregnancy tantrums and carvings at you."
"Are you already having those?" he inquired.
She shook her head and answered, "No but the doctors said that it will start soon."
"Doctor reminds me, we need to see aunt Anna soon. I want to make sure that everything is okay and there are no complications." Without waiting for her reply, he added, "We shouldn't delay this, I will talk to aunt Anna today and we should see her tomorrow itself."
"Woah hang on would be daddy, you are supposed to take proper rest. We can do the checkup later—"
"Later? There is no later, we are doing it tomorrow."
