Iris' thoughts were interrupted when the bedroom door opened and in came her best friend slash personal assistant, Dom. He was carrying her daily basket of morning snacks and some documents that she needed to read and sign.

"Thanks, Dom," she said with a relieved smile. "The twins are starving."

"I can see that." His eyes were trained on her rippling belly.

She winced and continued massaging her humongous belly while Dom busied himself with showing her the snacks the chefs prepared for her this morning.

"I saw sir boss leave," he chatted with her. "He told me to keep an eye on you because our cutie-patootie baby twins are being naughty again."

Iris only grunted. She wasn't really in the mood to eat anything but the twins wouldn't stop tumbling inside her. They were usually like this whenever they wanted her to eat.

Dom handed her a small chicken and garden salad wrap when she dropped the food to the floor.

"Huh, boss—"

"AH!!!!!"

Iris doubled over and clutched her belly in pain.

"Boss!!!"

Xu Tian inwardly sighed but maintained a professional expression. "I already rescheduled these appointments several times, sir. It's really not…I understand. I'll figure something out."

Jin Liwei nodded and continued going through the e-mails as quickly as possible. He was in overdrive mode in an effort to finish everything so that he could come back home early to his wife.

Their vehicle was just about to enter the highway when a child's frantic voice started crying all of a sudden.

"Daddy! Daddy! Meowuwuwu! Mommy is in labour! She is going to give birth to Ketchup's precious little baby brothers soon! But Mommy is in super-duper to the highest level great pain! Ketchup is soooooo scared for my mommy, Daddy! Meowuwuwuwu!!!

Jin Liwei felt like his heart stopped beating for a moment before it started hammering inside his chest.

"Return to the mansion! Quickly!!!"

Excitement and worry were obvious in the gentle eyes of Jin Liwei's mother. The worry appeared greater, though.

"Still in labour," Grandpa Lu replied. "Your boy is with her inside."

Huang Yuyan wrung her hands as she glanced at the closed door of the delivery room.

"How come Xiulan went into labour so early?" she asked in a shaky voice. "It's not her due date yet. Did something happen?"

Grandma Li put a firm but reassuring hand on her back. "Calm down, Yuyan my dear. Although it's earlier than the actual due date, it's not too early for the baby to come out premature. Remember that you also gave birth to Chonglin a bit earlier than the due date and he came out just fine."

"I know, Mother. I'm just worried. Xiulan didn't have an easy pregnancy. And her belly…it's, uhm, it's…."

Nobody filled in the rest of Huang Yuyan's sentence but they all knew what she was going it say. Iris' belly was abnormally ginormous compared to the rest of her delicate frame.

Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing who were sitting nearby knew the reason. Iris was expecting twins just like them. However, both couples hadn't announced this fact to others yet.

The elegant Grandma Li with her slightly frosty demeanour was the calmest among them. She glanced at Lu Zihao and Long Jinjing. Her eyes lingered a few seconds longer on Long Jinjing's big belly before looking at the closed door of the delivery room.
