I Became Super Rich After Resigning

Chapter 162: Chapter 162: Twins of Dragon and Phoenix

Huo Shiyuan was extremely tense outside the operating room. Yuan Xi had also forbidden him from entering the operating room, and Huo Shiyuan just felt that every minute spent outside was an excruciating torment.

Huo Shiyuan received a call from Shi Zhen at the operating room door.

“Did Xiao Xi give birth?”

Huo Shiyuan heard the sound of funeral music coming from Shi Zhen’s side, who must have been at the Funeral Home, “She’s still in the operating room.”

Shi Zhen from the other end said, “Don’t be nervous, Doctor Zheng’s skills are top-notch both domestically and internationally. Everything will be fine.”

Huo Shiyuan responded gravely. He knew he should trust Doctor Zheng’s skills, but Huo Shiyuan also feared complications that could arise during childbirth, “How are things on your end?”

Shi Zhen sighed, “Ah, let’s not talk about it. You shouldn’t come to the Funeral Home either. It’s not suitable for Xiao Xi and the children to be around this atmosphere. Your father and I transferred some money to Xiao Xi. We won’t be visiting her at the hospital for a while, and we’ll give the children their gifts later.”

After Huo Shiyuan responded, he hung up the phone, feeling each passing second as a torment.

“Huo Shiyuan, has Xiao Xi given birth?”

Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui, who had hurried over, were also visibly anxious.

Behind them followed a Liang Hao, “Has sister given birth?”

Huo Shiyuan shook his head, “Not yet.”

Grandma Shi looked towards Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui, “Yuanyuan, Suisui?”

Chen Yuan and Liang Suisui were startled for a moment before recognizing the person before them as Grandma Shi, “Grandma Shi.”

The operating room door opened.

A young doctor followed by two other doctors came out with the children and said, “President Huo,”

Huo Shiyuan immediately stepped forward.

The doctor chuckled, “Congratulations, President Huo, the firstborn is a little princess, weighing 2.4kg, born at four-fifteen this afternoon, and the boy came after, weighing 3.4kg, born at four-eighteen.”

The Huo family members waiting outside also gathered around.

Liang Suisui and Chen Yuan were also filled with joy.

“Xiao Xi is amazing, she gave birth to dragon and phoenix twins.”

Huo Shiyuan frowned and asked anxiously, “What about Yuan Xi?”

“Mrs. Huo is safe. She’s still undergoing suturing in the operating room and should be out in about half an hour.”

Huo Shiyuan’s inner tension did not dissipate with the arrival of the children; the time when he could see the children but not Yuan Xi was especially agonizing.

It wasn’t until the operating room doors opened again and Yuan Xi came out that he saw her pale, bloodless face, and his brow furrowed deeply with concern.

Liang Suisui approached Yuan Xi and said, “Xiao Xi, you’re so amazing! Dragon and phoenix twins!”

Chen Yuan also smiled and echoed, “Yes, dragon and phoenix twins.”

Yuan Xi gave them a weak smile, but perhaps because she was too exhausted from childbirth, she couldn’t speak a word and fell asleep.

Seeing Yuan Xi closing her eyes, Huo Shiyuan looked nervously at Doctor Zheng.

Doctor Zheng chuckled, “She’s just tired and fell asleep. She’ll be fine when she wakes up.”

Huo Shiyuan finally let out a breath of relief.

—

When Yuan Xi awoke in the ward, the first person she saw was Huo Shiyuan.

“Shiyan.”

Huo Shiyuan went over to hold Yuan Xi’s hand, “Is there anywhere that feels uncomfortable?”

“The babies?”

Yuan Xi glanced over and saw two soft, cuddly children lying in the baby cot, with two nannies attending to them.

Huo Shiyuan helped Yuan Xi sit up, “The babies are both very healthy.”

Yuan Xi said, “I remember the girl was very thin and small, smaller than her brother. Let me see them quickly…”

Huo Shiyuan went over and brought the children to Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi looked at the soft and tender little baby, holding such a fragile infant for the first time, she felt somewhat afraid, but this was her blood-related little daughter.

“She’s really so small.”

Yuan Xi looked at her daughter with heartache, compared to the chubby second child, her daughter was indeed too thin and too frail.

Yuan Xi touched her little daughter’s soft baby cheeks, her eyes filled with tender care.

Huo Shiyuan comforted, “Generally, with twins, the older one is smaller.”

Yuan Xi glanced at the time, and it was already past eleven at night; she held her daughter for a while before placing the baby next to her, her blood-related relative…

“Eight years have passed, and I have a home again.”

Yuan Xi tapped her daughter’s little nose and forcibly held back the impulse to kiss her.

“Where’s my phone?”

Huo Shiyuan brought over the phone to Yuan Xi, who turned it on and saw all the messages congratulating her on the birth of her child, including several calls from Yang Ying and Chu Qing.

“Your parents called when you were asleep, then they called me, they too have come to A City but you had just fallen asleep.”

“Those on the desk are gifts from them to the two children.”

Yuan Xi didn’t bother to check the presents; after all, it was the thought that mattered.

Yuan Xi glanced at her friend circle, no wonder everyone knew she had given birth, even Huo Shiyuan, Grandpa Huo, Granny Huo, and Grandpa Shi, who seldom posted on social media, had shared congratulatory messages.

Aunt Huo, Uncle Xiao, and Xiao Yun had also posted in celebration.

Shiyi Group even tweeted to congratulate Shiyi Group on welcoming a new successor.

Yuan Xi asked, “Did my grandparents call?”

Huo Shiyuan nodded, “Yes, Liang Hao showed them the two children.”

Seeing numerous payment notifications on her phone, Yuan Xi asked, “Why are there so many transfers?”

“These two are from my parents to show their appreciation, and what follows should be from several elders and my aunt, a little something for the two children.”

Looking at the string of zeroes, Yuan Xi realized she had birthed two little ‘golden eggs.’

Maybe because she had slept too much earlier, Yuan Xi couldn’t sleep at all in the latter half of the night and kept fearing that her daughters were not breathing, checking their breath with her hand from time to time.

Seeing Yuan Xi like this, Huo Shiyuan chuckled and said, “Go to sleep now.”

Yuan Xi said, “I’ve had enough sleep, I can’t sleep now, you go ahead.”

Huo Shiyuan was indeed tired, “If you need anything, wake me up.”

“Mm,” Yuan Xi responded.

Silence fell in the sickroom. Yuan Xi looked at Huo Shiyuan lying next to her, then at the two children in the infant beds beside her…

The room was quiet and warm in the winter days.

At that moment, she felt like the happiest person in the world.

Yuan Xi eventually fell asleep in the latter part of the night.

When she woke up, it was seven o’clock in the morning, and Huo Shiyuan was already awake. Seeing Yuan Xi wake up, he asked, “What would you like to eat?”

Yuan Xi said, “Sweet and sour spare ribs.”

Huo Shiyuan chuckled, “Okay, I’ll check with the doctor if you can eat that if so, I’ll ask the chef to prepare it.”

Not long after Yuan Xi woke up, Fu Qin with red eyes, accompanied by Ren Tian, came to her ward.

Fu Qin said, “I haven’t been to the Funeral Home yet; I’m going there soon, so I came to see you and the children first.”

With a gaunt face, Fu Qin said, “Shiyan, I trust you to take good care of Ren Tian for me. Big Brother hasn’t woken up yet, and my uncle already had the inheritance notarized before he passed away. All his Fu An shares are to be given to Fu Yi. If anything happens to the child in Ren Tian’s womb, the only heir to Fu An might change to that illegitimate child, Fu Yi…

I’m worried he might harm the two children in Ren Tian’s womb and about Brother Yixian’s situation…”

“I know you’re happy about Yuan Xi giving birth – I shouldn’t bring our family’s dirty laundry to disturb you, but I’m really very confused and don’t have anyone else to trust.”

Yuan Xi said, “It’s okay, go to the Funeral Home. Take care, we probably can’t go. Please send our condolences to Chairman Fu on our behalf.”

Fu Qin nodded. Just as she was about to leave, she ran into Liang Hao coming in with a basket of free-range eggs.
