Xi Yuan sat down on the floor beside Rong Xinghe as he pulled her into his warm embrace and started rubbing her back ," Its alright ! Calm down . "
Rong Xinghe didn't pushed the man away like always . Instead , she buried her face into his chest and kept on crying . She even hugged him back .
She needed this ....
She needed this exact warmth right now ...
Xi Yuan kept pacifying the girl but it was of no use . It was rare for Rong Xinghe to break down like this but whenever she did , it meant that she had reached the limit of her emotional strength .
Eventually , the woman slept in the man's embrace after she was exhausted .

Next Morning ,
Rong Xinghe woke up in an unknown environment . The girl sat up on the bed as she rubbed her eyes confusedly .
"Good Morning , Xinghe . ", Xi Yuan entered the room and sat down on the edge of the bed beside the woman ," How are you feeling now ? "
" This place .... ", the girl asked in a hoarse voice .
" Its Elite Saphhire . Your neighborhood penthouse ."
"Oh ... ", Rong Xinghe rubbed her throat .
Xi Yuan quickly picked up the glass of warm water kept on the side table and passed it to the girl ," Here ! "
Rong Xinghe accepted the water and drank it .
No matter how much she tried to avoid this man , she couldn't refuse the reality that she trusted him blindly .
She was the Military Chief . Being wary of what she consumed and who gave that to her was her basic nature . But she reflexively trusted this man and her sworn family with her edibles and drinks .
"Tiyanyi ..."
Xi Yuan replied the questions before being asked ," Her health is stable now , Xinghe . Don't tire yourself too much about this . She still has a chance to survive because the doctors diagnosed it quite early . All we need to do is find a suitable bone marrow for her and she will be fine after the transplant . I know that this might be tough but you need to trust me with this .
"Xinghe , these NGO kids are important to me as well . No matter what , I will do all I can to save Tiyanyi . But for god's sake , stay positive . You are my biggest source of optimism and hope . Until and unless you are strong , I can fight the world . You have no idea what that bright smile of yours can do .
" And yes ! I am not going to allow you to get personally involved in this . I will find a matching bone marrow myself . You already have a lot on your plate . You are the Military Chief of Country X . We both have to handle Lu Corporation . You have to be there for Mrs. Ningtao . What more , you have decided to train Ying and your other two sister-in-laws with self-defense as well.
"I beg you to leave this to me . I believe I can handle Xi Corporation , Lu Corporation , Project "Infinity" and Little Tiyanyi's treatment myself . All you need to do is act normal around Tiyanyi . She needs to be happy throughout this entire duration and you are the only one that can do that ."
"But ... it will be tiring for you.", Rong Xinghe was concerned for the man .
"As long as you take care of yourself , I will be fine . ", Xi Yuan smiled.
"Alright then . We will go with this arrangement ", the girl nodded.

Few more months passed by ,
In these two months , Xi Yuan had tried to find out a suitable bone marrow for Little Tiyanyi but had been unsuccessful so far . However , the doctors were handling the girl's health pretty well . Rong Xinghe and William also visited the child every third day .
But both Xi Yuan and Rong Xinghe had hell of workload to take care of , all of a sudden . One had to take care of an entire nation's security while the other had to handle two business empires together.
These two months brought Rong Xinghe and Xi Yuan quite close , though . Rong Xinghe no more felt any awkwardness or discomfort around the man .
In fact , she was getting used to his touches and sweet talks . Most importantly , even she herself didn't noticed the changes in their relationship.
Meanwhile , Zhou Che tried to meet Rong Xinghe multiple times so that he could humiliate her . But obviously , the six men had a meaning for their existence . Because of them , it was almost like Zhou Che had never came back in Rong Xinghe's life .
Ningtao was now five months pregnant and her belly had grown into a baby bump now . With the combined support from Lu Wei , the other five men , Rong Xinghe , Songyan and Ruo Cy ; her pregnancy was going pretty smoothly .
No matter what issues any of them were going through , the family never allowed anything to affect Ningtao or baby's health because they all were anticipating the birth of this child .They all were waiting to spoil this little brat to the limit of extremity .
Of course , most excited were Rong Xinghe and Zhi Al .
Rong Xinghe had even knitted four pairs of cute Yellow coloured mittens , six pairs of Green socks and three Woolen mufflers for the to-be-born child .
While , Zhi Al had personally hired interior designers to design the baby room in the Lu family mansion .
But toughest part was still for Lu Wei to face . After all, he was the one who had to go through Ningtao's every mood swing and her every food craving .
Ningtao had actually once woken him up in the middle of the night because she wanted to eat her favorite Red Velvet cake . The problem was that only Rong Xinghe knew Ningtao's dream recipe .
So Lu Wei had to call Rong Xinghe at 3:00 a.m. in the night to ask for the baking procedures . All the siblings still laughed at him for that incident because Rong Xinghe had 'accidentally leaked' this information the next day .
He had to even keep an eye on each and every action of Ningtao because the woman had developed an interest in watching action movies out of nowhere . Such visual scenes were not good for the personality development of the unborn baby .
He was afraid that if everything went like this , his kid would definitely grow up to be either an army officer , a police cop or a ... criminal !
