The Cunning CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 246: Twins!

Old Master Xiao had lost track of how long he had been waiting outside the ward. Even though the housekeeper kept urging him to go back and rest, he stubbornly remained seated and waited.

"No matter what, Ranran's child belongs to the Xiao family. It's one thing for that bastard not to stay here with her, but how can I leave too?"

"Besides, I'm genuinely worried that something might happen to Ranran."

The old man sighed deeply, his face deeply lined with worry.

Nurses kept coming out of the ward, each carrying a bunch of things back with them.

Time passed second by second, and Old Master Xiao had never felt so tormented.

After an unknown amount of time, a loud cry suddenly came from the operating room.

The old man was taken aback, and the smile on his face could no longer be contained.

"It's born! It's out!"

Fearing that the old man might faint from excessive excitement, Butler Xiao hurriedly stuffed the medicine into his mouth beforehand.

Both of them thought the accident was over, but to their surprise, no one came out even after they had been waiting for a long time.

Finally spotting a nurse rushing out, the old man, disregarding the fact that he might disturb them, strode over and grabbed her.

"How is she? How is my granddaughter?"

"There's still a baby inside her that hasn't been removed; if we delay any longer, I'm afraid..."

The nurse didn't dare to say anything more, after all, the old man's face looked really bad.

"Don't worry, the young mistress is a lucky person, she will definitely be fine."

At this moment, Butler Xiao's comforting words had no effect whatsoever. The old man sighed deeply, his eyes filled with regret.

"Old Xiao, was I wrong?"

"I shouldn't have kept this child. If something happens to Ranran, how will I face her grandmother when I go down to the underworld..."

Butler Xiao pursed his lips, unsure how to comfort her. Just as he was about to speak, an even louder cry came from the operating room.

"They're out, the second child has been born, the young mistress is definitely alright."

Not only the old man, but even Butler Xiao breathed a sigh of relief.

The operating room door opened quickly this time.

The two nurses were each holding a small child. The old man looked at the one on the left, then at the one on the right, unable to stop smiling.

"Congratulations, sir, these are twins, a boy and a girl."

"The one on the left was born first, he's the older brother, and the one on the right is a younger sister. Your family is so lucky."

"Dragon and phoenix?"

This was something the old man hadn't expected. He looked at the two children, whose eyes were still closed, his eyes filled with tenderness.

"Old Xiao, go and arrange for someone to take good care of my great-grandson."

"Yes, sir."

Butler Xiao led two nurses to the room that the old man had arranged in advance, where a nanny was already waiting.

The old man waited outside the operating room until someone wheeled Lin Ran out.

Seeing that pale face, the old man's tears fell instantly. He held Lin Ran's hand with trembling hands, his lips trembling for a long time, but he couldn't say a word.

"Grandpa, why are you crying? Child, can you see? Isn't he/she adorable?"

Lin Ran's anesthetic hadn't worn off yet, so she didn't feel any pain, but she felt completely weak.

"So cute, so incredibly cute, just like you."

"Alright, stop talking and get some rest."

Lin Ran nodded and slowly closed her eyes again.

She was indeed very tired.

Seeing her like this, the old man felt another pang of pain in his heart and had her taken back to the prepared room.

He hesitated for a long time before sending out the photos he had just taken.

Less than a minute after he sent it out, his phone rang.

The old man, with a complicated expression, walked into an empty room and pressed the call button...

Lin Ran was awakened by the pain.

The anesthesia wore off, and the wound on my stomach was excruciatingly painful, with a dense, throbbing pain spreading throughout my entire body.

Her already pale face now looked almost transparent.

She glanced at the water glass placed not far away and strained to reach it.

Before she could even reach out, another hand came around from the other side, picked up the water, and brought it to her lips.

Lin Ran looked up and saw a middle-aged woman she didn't recognize.

She pursed her dry lips, but didn't drink any water; she just stared at the person in front of her.

"I am the nanny hired by Mr. Xiao to take care of you."

The middle-aged woman was stunned for a long time before she suddenly understood Lin Ran's meaning and hurriedly explained her identity.

"Don't worry, I specialize in taking care of postpartum women. With me here, you won't feel uncomfortable."

Hearing her say that, Lin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and eagerly drank the glass of warm water.

She felt a little better after drinking a glass of water.

"Where's my child?"

“It’s right next door, there are people taking care of it, I’ll call them over right now.”

"it is good."

Although she was still in excruciating pain, Lin Ran's heart softened completely after holding the two little children.

She looked at the child on her left, then at the child on her right, and a slight smile finally appeared on her blank face.

"You're finally awake! You scared this old man half to death."

Grandpa Xiao pushed open the door and walked in at some point, his gaze towards Lin Ran still carrying a hint of worry.

"Alright, hurry up and lie down and rest. Your face is so pale, it's kind of scary."

Lin Ran looked at the two children with reluctance, her wounds aching terribly, before finally having them taken away.

"Grandpa, you don't look well either. Haven't you been resting properly?"

Before the old man could speak, Lin Ran preemptively questioned him.

The old man was speechless for a moment. He pursed his lips a couple of times, but no sound came out.

"Ranran, do you... want to go back to China?"

After a long pause, the old man asked this question in a low voice, and he seemed to blush after saying it.

"You don't need to overthink it, I just want to hear your opinion."

Lin Ran nodded, but did not give an answer immediately.

She slowly lowered her eyes, carefully considering the question.

Does she really want to go back?

In an instant, many figures flashed through her mind, but in the end, her gaze settled on Xiao Jingchen's icy eyes.

"Grandpa, I don't want to go back."

Lin Ran's voice was soft, yet firm.

But after she finished speaking, she felt a little uneasy.

The old man is Xiao Jingchen's biological grandfather, could he possibly...?

Before Lin Ran could think any further, the old man was already standing beside her, reaching out to pat her head.

"Okay, Grandpa will listen to you. As long as you don't want to go back, we won't go back!"

"grandfather……"

Lin Ran was surprised by his words, and tears welled up in her eyes as she blinked.
