A Delightful Marriage with Twins

Chapter 54: 54. The family was reunited

“Who cut off your thumb tendon?”

The man’s angry voice was filled with suppressed anger and a chilly grumpiness. The temperature around him seemed to have dropped by several degrees.

He Yi did not expect Yi Liangze’s reaction to be so intense. She instinctively wanted to pull her hand back, but his iron-like grip firmly held her, preventing her from escaping.

“Let go of me first!” He Yi whispered. “Don’t scare Wan Wan.”

Yi Liangze looked at Wan Wan behind He Yi. The girl was holding the furry bear cub and looking at him timidly. His angry look scared her.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Liangze suppressed his anger and slowly let go of He Yi. However, his gaze followed her as he waited for her answer.

He Yi turned around and said indifferently, “It was cut off when I first entered the prison.”

Most of the female prisoners in the prison were not easy to deal with. If someone with bad intentions bribed the people inside to deliberately bully her, then she would probably die and never come out again.

However, she survived. Although she was covered in bruises, she came out alive in the end.

Yi Liangze made an unexpected move — he gently took He Yi into his arms. He did not kiss her but hugged her tightly.

“I’ve made you suffer all these years” His voice was very low and gentle, filled with pity. However, He Yi did not know if it was an illusion, but she heard a trace of self-blame and guilt in it. ‘What did this have to do with him? Or perhaps, he was just simply feeling pity and sympathy for her?’

He Yi was held in Yi Liangze’s arms, and her mind gradually became a little dazed. The man’s unique aura seemed familiar, like an impenetrable net that was tightly wrapped around her. It made her feel suffocated, but there was no way out. Some scattered memories surged into her mind. The terrifying shadow that was locked in the depths of her memory overlapped with the man who was holding her gently at this moment.

She suddenly pushed him away in panic and took a few steps back, her eyes filled with confusion. Yi Liangze was stunned, he did not understand why she strongly rejected his closeness.

He Yi could not explain this either. She could only try her best to calm down and try to remain calm. “Sorry, I’m a little tired.”

Seeing that He Yi’s face was pale and her body was tense, she was like a frightened little beast, full of vigilance and wariness towards him. Yi Liangze was a little helpless. Although he longed to get close to the hot and enchanting body in his memory, he could only suppress his intense instinctive reaction and stop forcing her.

“You should rest for a while. Tomorrow afternoon or evening, I’ll bring the baby over for lunch.” Yi Liangze suggested a concession. It would give her time to rest and also give her psychological preparation.

“What!” He Yi gaped. He was coming back tomorrow? And he was bringing Baby with him?

‘However, didn’t he find the baby’s biological mother and was busy getting married? How could he still have the leisure and time to come over to her place to freeload?’

Yi Liangze originally wanted to give her a gentle kiss before leaving, but the little girl was very cunning. He had just taken a step when she hid behind He Yi and made faces at him. He smiled dotingly and looked deeply at both mother and daughter. He said gently, “See you tomorrow.” With that, he turned around and left.

When Yi Liangze left, Wei Jiameng immediately cheered. “Yo! We have an appointment tomorrow!”

He Yi ignored her teasing, but the corners of her mouth curved slightly. Putting aside the demonic nightmare in her memory, she didn’t seem to dislike Yi Liangze’s thick-skinned closeness.

“Mom, Will uncle Yi come again tomorrow? Who is Baby? Is He the same as Coco and Yang Yang?” Wan Wan seemed to have many questions and scruples.

Seeing the fear and uneasiness in her daughter’s big eyes, He Yi’s heart was pierced again. She bent down, and comforted the child, “The baby is a very cute child, almost as cute as you. He is not a little devil like Coco and Yang Yang, but a polite little gentleman. You will like him when you see him.”

“Oh.” Wan Wan nodded, but apparently not believing her. She endured it, but in the end, she could not hold it in. “When Will Daddy come to pick me up?”

He Yi was shocked, but she suppressed her emotions, and patiently continued, “Mommy will not send you back to that Wolves den to be bullied by others. You Are Mommy’s angel baby, not Cinderella, who has a low status in the Chu family. Wan Wan, do you understand?”

Wan Wan’s big eyes sparkled with tears as she sobbed, “Wan Wan is not Cinderella! Daddy loves Wan very much!”

“If he loved you, he wouldn’t have let Su Anqi beat you and scold you. If he loved you, he wouldn’t have dragged you into this storm. Since he brought you here, I’ll do my best to keep you.” He Yi gently stroked her daughter’s weak little shoulder, her voice was gentle and firm. “This time, no one will be able to take you away from me!”

Yi Liangze returned home and saw his parents and grandmother waiting for him downstairs.

He shrugged cynically and joked, “I thought that second uncle’s whole family would be here too.”

Hearing this, Yi Jingye was furious. “Why do you have to make such a scandal known to everyone? Isn’t it embarrassing enough?”

“Jingye, calm down!” Fang Yaqin quickly advised, “This is supposed to be a good thing, what’s there to be embarrassed about?”

“She married into the Chu family with a child belonging to our Yi family. After so many years of silence, she has now been released from prison... how can such a woman be qualified to enter our Yi Family?” Yi Jingye was greatly disappointed in his daughter-in-law, he never thought that the biological mother whom they had been searching for Baby these years would actually be He Yi!

“Cough!” Old Lady Yi coughed heavily, she reprimanded her son, “What are you so anxious about? Don’t jump to conclusions before the matter is fully investigated. No matter what, He Yi gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix twins for the Yi family, which is a great credit. As for the rest... as long as the mother and daughter are safe, it will be a blessing.” I heard that He Yi and Chu Tianyi ended their marriage five years ago and are now free. As long as we are willing, we can marry her into the family at any time!”

Yi Liangze could not help sighing when he heard this. As long as they were willing, they could marry her into the family at any time? Not necessarily!

“We were originally planning to get this woman out of Yun City, but now you suddenly say that we want to marry her into the family...” Yi Jingye, who had always craved respectability, could not get over this hurdle. “How can we save face for the Yi Family?”

Old Lady Yi was even more unhappy. “Is your face more important than your grandson and granddaughter? For so many years, the baby has been a poor child without a mother. It was not easy to find a biological mother, and now he has a biological sister. This is such a good thing, but you still have to find trouble for yourself. Is there something wrong with your brain?”

Yi Jingye was not convinced about being questioned about his intelligence, but he was used to being filial, so he did not dare to anger his old mother, he could only soften his tone, “What I mean is that we need to take a long time to think about this matter. At least let the spotlight pass first, until everyone has forgotten about this matter. By then, Father’s health might be a little better, and he can even attend the wedding banquet.”

“Listen,” Old Lady Yi was practically fuming, she said angrily, “This is also the reason to decline. It’s because your father’s health isn’t good that we have to hurry up with the wedding. Firstly, to rush the wedding, and secondly...without saying something unlucky, in his lifetime, he will be able to see his granddaughter-in-law come back and even bring back his own great-granddaughter. He will have no regrets in this life. It’s such a good thing, yet you have to push your loved ones out for some irrelevant people. The older you get, the more muddle-headed you become. This matter is not up to you, this old lady has made the decision. Not only do we have to hurry up with the wedding, but we also have to hold a special press conference to announce the identities of the mother and daughter to the public. We have to bring them back generously. A family reunion is a proper thing to do!”
