The two of them set out to town.
Sandy spent a lot of money for her and the twins and Yuyu was very touched that someone else, aside from Nana Luo, loves her children already.
(She called Night earlier for the money transfer. She needs to divert them to think she's in need of dollars in case her brother is conspiring with her husband. Now that Sandy said she better stay, she would make sure they are not traceable.)
"Wait. Let me buy something from that shop! You're gonna like it!" Yuyu pointed on the bakeshop across the traffic light.
----
After the phone call, Ming YaoFeng directly went to a luncheon meeting set near his office. He wanted to clear off his schedule so that he can be available anytime his wife calls for the signing.
He was walking back along the business district when he passed by the bakeshop that delivers them mochi every month.
The little door bells chimed as he got in.
"Sorry" a pregnant woman with short purple hair bowed and rushed to the door.
He felt his heart beat two hundred ten times a minute. As soon as he tried to grab her, the woman was gone; she rode a car without glancing back and was gone in an instant. He shake off that weird feeling.
He turned to the sweet things at the display shelf and can't help but remember his wife who could eat all of these in one day.
"What is your best seller," he asked.
It was the owner manning the counter that day. "Well, if I will look at the monthly sales, nothing will beat the blueberry mochi of the young madam of that building," she said proudly pointing at the high building across the street.
He smiled, showing interest with her story. "What's with her?"
"Well, the day she got married, she said that her husband wanted us to supply the company with mochi every month on the same day, so I think the company is rejoicing every month on their marriage."
He smiled. "Give me two boxes," he passed his corporate card to charge his expenses and the owner's eyes opened wide.
"Are you the husband?" she asked shocked.
He nodded and smiled. The owner recovered from shock and laughed as she swiped the card and prepared the boxes. "I cannot believe my luck! Earlier I met the wife. Now I'm meeting the husband!" She smiled as she passed him the boxes.
His eyebrow rose. "You have met my wife?"
"Yeah! Isn't she the one who just went out earlier? I really knew it was her as she sounded young and nice on the phone, but I never expected her to look so young in person!" The owner now thought that the girl might be a con. Good thing she did not give a discount. But she really is..Ah, she should have used a card like the husband, but she used cash.
"Nah, never mind. That was a young pregnant woman that was here earlier. Your wife must be more responsible as to not color her hair during pregnancy right? And you would surely have known it and recognized your own wife, unless she's missing. But your wife order's every month so she can't be missing." the woman continued to talk to herself as she pass his card and orders.
He rushed to leave when he received a phone call and could not further chat with the owner.

Two boxes of mochi dropped at Ying Tai's table. "For sharing," the CEO said as he passed by and went to his office.
Elder Wong, who's gone after surgery months ago is now back to his health.
YaoFeng sat on his executive chair as elder Wong put down one of Yuyu's chemistry books.
"Cheng MeiMei told me the reason she came here and she went back to country M. She wanted to apologize to you and Xiao Yuyu but of course, she can no longer do it.
I am here to tell you that I will retire to spend more time with my wife." Elder Wong said.
"I will have Assistant Xu take care of the rest, elder Wong. You stay healthy and call me if there's anything," he said sincerely.
"Thank you Ah Yao. After that emergency surgery on me, I realized how short is life so I need to cherish every moment with my wife. If you have time, bring Xiao Yuyu to the house. Your aunt would be pleased to see her. Take care of both of you." he stood up and headed for the door.
Elder Wong turned when he reached the door. "If Xiao Yuyu wanted to get pregnant, you should support her. Don't be like me, we grew old without children."
"Why did you say that Elder Wong? Did she talk to you?" he was excited, did Yuyu really confide on Elder Wong?
Elder Wong frowned. The CEO is acting stupidly when it comes to his wife. "She's not reading chemistry books." he turned and left.
Ming YaoFeng felt again that familiar rush in his heart. He took the book Elder Wong was holding earlier. The book that looks like chemistry turns out to be a pregnancy book.
Soon, the phone he'd been keeping for a long time beeped.
"Boss is good to us!"
The chat has a group picture of people outside his office holding each a mochi.
Then another picture came, a woman with short purple hair showing off her two boxes of mochi while the girl beside her is driving!
Yuyu: "Everyone! Meet my sister! It's her first time tasting mochi!"
Ying Tai: "Wow! Xiao Yuyu, purple suits you!"
Yuyu: "I know! _ xoxo"
Secretary Lun: "We miss you here. you should have dropped and introduce your sister to us! When will you return?"
Yuyu: "My body is weak I can't go to the office. My sister said hi! I'll see you some time!_ smiley"
YanYan: "Mochi is the best! Thanks to Yuyu and boss!"
Yuyu: "Did he buy you that?"
YaoFeng was about to reply but there's already a reply!
Assistant Xu: "Boss is in a good mood!"
He pressed the button and a chilling voice sounded outside, "Xu Heng!"
Assistant Xu almost threw his phone away. He ran to the CEO's office.
"Boss!!"
"Why did you reply?! I want to reply to her!" the CEO stubbornly said.
"It's okay Boss!" Assistant Xu has forgotten that his boss was pretending to be him so he can reply to his wife once there's a chance. He immediately thought of something to pacify the boss. "Why don't you praise her hair? My wife likes it when I praise her even if she's already about to give birth anytime." Assistant Xu always uses his wife when the boss has an issue related to Xiao Yuyu.
Pregnancy. Something flashed back in his mind.
He was uneasy and his eyes focused on one of the books she used to read which elder Wong pointed out earlier.
"Find all Xiao Yuyu's books inside this office." He commanded him.
In a few minutes, a pile of books are on his desk.
He flipped each one of them and he weakly sat on his chair.
His eyes were turning red from the emotions building up.
All of them are not about chemistry! They are books about pregnancy! Preparation. Do's and don'ts. What to expect. Signs and symptoms. What to do when you are pregnant.
'She was pregnant? Is he going to be a father? Is that the reason why she eats and sleeps all day? She's battling an emotional and mental plus physical war and yet he was never there!'
