It was the first time Assistant Xu was coming over to the White's Company. He never ran a personal errand and he couldn't help but smile as he entered the CEO's office.
Behind the frosty glass door is a wide office divided by a clear glass door separating two equally equipped executive desks. Night's side is simple and masculine while Yuyu's side is more like a pantry and nursery.
"I missed you Assistant Xu!" Yuyu hugged him.
Assistant Xu was surprised to see her and recovered immediately remembering his task for today.
"Come and take a seat. What do you want to eat?" Yuyu asked pushing him to a receiving chair and getting some snacks from the fridge.
"You have a big office here!" Assistant Xu commented. "I cannot blame you if you wanted to work here than our office." He joked. Night coughed. He would be affected if YaoFeng took back his sister-
"Ah, I almost forgot, I came here for this." He took the gray envelopes from his breast pocket and placed them on the table.
"The event will be held on Saturday and I have three invitations for your company. Please confirm your names before the set deadline to give me some free time for myself." Assistant Xu laughed at himself.
Yuyu passed him some cold drinks and put a cookie jar on the table.
Not paying much attention the the invitations, Yuyu sat across him. "One of the elders gifted this to me. Try them." She has no interest in the event as her husband would likely think that she's trying to get her way into his life again using the occasion.
Night checked the envelope, "I'll take one of these. Then I can add a plus one right?" he confirmed.
"Yup. One invite plus one." Assistant Xu clarified.
"Give the other one to Sandy, those two may need an event like this to refresh some old memories." Yuyu pushed another envelope to Night which the latter took.
"Does my husband intend to bring the children?" Yuyu asked.
Assistant Xu was not expecting that and cannot answer. "I'll call my boss to ask!" he was about to get his phone when Yuyu stopped him. "No need!" she was surprised by her sudden tone.
"I mean, no need to ask him. I'll be the one to ask him." She smiled awkwardly. Her worry is that, YaoFeng will misunderstood again and think that she's using the children. She'll just give Tania the invitation and prepare for her in case YaoFeng decides to bring the children.
"Assistant Xu. how is my husband at work?" She tried to change the topic.
Xu Heng smiled and enjoyed the chat time with the lady boss. "All is well! He's interested in putting children to sleep. Earlier, our meeting was about that, and the younger people were all disappointed after preparing presentations.." He laughed at his heart's content.
Yuyu was also laughing. She can only imagine how serious the meeting is and suddenly the cold CEO will ask about children.
"It was his first time being alone with the twins last night. He probably did not get a good sleep. Our boy has adaptation issues." Yuyu commented.
"He's sleeping at the office right now. He cancelled all my work for the week and I can relax. I only need to record your voice and I am good!" Assistant Xu's smile was as wide as the ocean.
Yuyu's face dimmed. "You are recording right now?" She raised her eyebrow at him.
Assistant Xu panicked thinking the lady boss misunderstood. "No. No, it's not like that." He fished out his phone and handed it to Yuyu. "I told my boss that my wife has recorded a lullaby and copied it to an eight hours length that we play each night our child cannot sleep. He wanted me to do the same with your voice so that your child can sleep and he can sleep too."
Yuyu thought for a moment. She felt sad for YaoFeng but at the same time, she felt like her children were taking revenge for her. An idea crossed her mind.
"Drive me home first so we can visit the twins!" She said happily as she grabbed her bag.
"Brother, I'll be off for now. See you at home." Yuyu dragged Assistant Xu out of the office.
---
At the villa.
"This is Tania. She's like a sister to the twins so in case you see her on Saturday, please have some single staff assist her." Yuyu introduced Assistant Xu and Tania while they were eating lunch at YaoFeng's house.
Assistant Xu felt that the house was warmer, especially when he saw the reminders on the wall.
He chuckled. "My wife also does those writing everywhere in the house."
They spent more time chatting and after seeing the kids, assistant Xu bade to say goodbye remembering he needed to be back in the office that afternoon.
Since Yuyu is taking care of the children, he will not need to record a lullaby, Assistant Xu thought to himself.
"Tania, how did it go last night?" Yuyu gossiped.
Tania's eyes twinkled. "Missy, I think your husband did not sleep well. Me and Lune slept very well. I did not hear Soleil cry but I think he'd been carried by his father the whole night."
She likes it when her missy is talking to her secretly. It's as if she's special to her mistress and that's something she's proud of.
"There's an event on Saturday Night. YaoFeng might bring you and the kids, so I am giving you this, in case you get separated from him. In case of emergency, --"
"I should call you immediately." Tania finished her sentence immediately with a smile.
Yuyu rolled her eyes and laughed as she handed her the invitation.
"You can dress up if you want, but for your comfort since you'll have the children with you, you can wear the gray dress pants I bought you. Did you bring that?" she asked.
"I only brought the home clothes Miss. I did not know when I would need to wear it." Tania sadly commented.
"It's alright. There's still time. I'll just bring your clothes later." Yuyu was distracted by her ringing phone.
"Right now? Okay. Yeah that's five minutes away. Much better, I'm at my husband's house, pick me up. The children are sleeping. Okay see you!"
She put down the phone and turned to Tania.
"Sandy is picking me up. Keep these children sleeping as much as they want so their father will have a taste of real paternity at night!" Tania smiled evilly like her and both of them nodded.
Yuyu was already at the door when a car stopped in front of their lawn.
"Let's go first to the mall before we tell you the news." Sandy said excitedly as she pulled her sister in the car while William was focused on driving.
They went to the mall a few blocks away from the villa. She used to walk on these streets before when she started working at the Ming Corporation and this is the same mall where she bought her roller blades.
The three of them huddled in a tea house facing a clinic.
"Sis, what do you see in front of you?" Sandy asked excitedly.
"Ummm" Yuyu pursed her lips and knitted her brows. "Tea?" she asked.
"Nope, guess again." Sandy was very patient.
"There is nothing more but tea. I'm facing a glass wall and all I can see is the 'A Medical Clinic' in front of me!" Yuyu explained.
Sandy's smile grew bigger. "That's right!"
Yuyu turned to William to ask. "What's going on? Are you going to transfer and work here?"
William laughed. "Cut it out and tell your sister!" He eyed his girlfriend.
"You're such a killjoy." Sandy commented. "Alright. I have an appointment today for a check-up. I might be pregnant."
Yuyu's eyes got bigger and a smile drew on her face.
"Sister!!! Oh my! This is a great blessing! Brother in law!" She cannot help but hug the two people. "My children will have a cousin! I can't believe this!!!"
She was still in the middle of taking in the news when a notification popped on Sandy's phone.
"The doctor is meeting me. Don't come, stay with my sister. You can come later when we do the ultrasound." she said and left the two.
Yuyu was teary eyed with the news. "Congratulations brother. Are you gonna get married or get registered? What's your plan?" They were facing the clinic and did not see customers coming in and out of the tea house.
"We'll get registered here first. Then, the wedding can be held here or in London. I think this is better so your family will not need to travel. Soleil will have a problem traveling again." William openly told her his plan.
"That's good. I can only agree." Yuyu clinked her teacup with him.
"Congratulations! Welcome to our family!" The two of them cheered and continued waiting for Sandy.
