Chapter 556 Pain, pain and pain Lihua tilted her head. "Two babies?"
Zhao Weisheng was stunned for a long moment before his face sparkled like the brightest star in the sky.
"Oh my God…is Lihua expecting twins?" His voice squealed, saying the last word. "Twins, right? They're twins, right?"
Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "Yeah, you don't have to get so excited. The world is at the brink of destruction."
Jiang Hua gasped in joy and hugged Lihua. "Congratulations! It's such great news!"
Lihua was still dazzled. Her jaw dropped in shock.
Mingshen snorted. "Look, her tiny brain is unable to process even this simple news. Ah, I pity the kids."
Lihua snapped out. "Y-You are not pulling my leg, right?"
He glared at her. "Do you think I have time for that?"
"How should I know? You only know how to fool! Which is how you erased my memories on the pretext of doing a normal checkup!"
This dumb woman's brain remembers useless things when it's not needed!
"Shut up! What will I gain by telling you that you got twins!? I am the one who is traumatized here!"
"What is there to be traumatized for!? They are going to be super cute babies!"
"Which only you think so. The rest of the world is doomed."
Lihua wanted to smack him hard, but her pure bliss from this news was far more superior than beating up Mingshen. She touched her belly, and her gaze softened.
Aish, there are two of you there…You made your Mama so happy!
She grinned. "Now, I am definitely sure it will be a boy and a girl. That way, Wei and I will both be happy!"
Zhao Weisheng curiously asked, "What do you mean?"
She puffed her cheeks. "Well, I want a boy and Wei wants a girl. We fought over this a lot."
"Oh," he nodded. "I agree with Wei. A cute great granddaughter would have been perfect."
"..."
Traitor!
Suddenly, a shrill came from outside. "Yang Mingshen!"
Jiang Zhen exclaimed in pain.
Mingshen raised his brow. "Oooh, I forgot I had another patient too~"
Jiang Hua anxiously got up. "He has been complaining of a stomach ache for a while now."
Lihua was about to burst into chuckle but looking at Jiang Hua, she kept quiet. She cleared her throat. "I will stay here with Ruru. You go."
She thankfully nodded.

"Ahhhh!!"
Jiang Zhen was rolling on the bed in pain as he clutched his stomach. He gasped hard, his brows twitched miserably, and his face was moist with sweat. The pain only got worse the more time passed.
Shen Yang and Chang Fang stood by the bedside.
Chang Fang whispered, "Boss has never been on so many bathroom breaks before, right?"
"Shut up. Open your mouth, and you will find your head rolling."
Mingshen stepped in, followed by Jiang Hua, who rushed to his side. "Zhen…"
Jiang Zhen glowered at her in hatred and kicked her knee hard. She gasped and stumbled, but Mingshen lightly caught onto her elbow.
He shot him a silent stare.
"You useless woman! Where were you all this time!? I am in fucking pain here, so where were you!! Were you dead all this time!?"
His sharp, malevolent voice made her jolt. She automatically lowered her head. "That-"
"Shut up!" A bout of pain shot in his stomach again, and he yelped. He inhaled and exhaled. "Fucking piece of useless shit! What could be more important than your husband who is dying in pain here!?"
Jiang Hua bit her lip and trembled. "Zhen, Ruru went into shock a-and-"
"Who cares about him!?"
She froze.
"The heck this pain is killing me, and you are wasting time over him? Ugh, it was a mistake to marry you!"
Mingshen chuckled. "Did you forget she was the one who took the bite for you? If not, then you would have been in the hospital right now."
He glanced at Mingshen and painfully laughed. The pain had subsided a bit. "So? That's her fucking job. She is my wife. She is supposed to take all the harm that comes my way, or why is she even here? There is no need to be so surprised about this. She did one job and failed in another! The heck she was with Ruru all this time!"
Jiang Hua was shaking. His words stabbed her heart into pieces.
"Z-Zhen…Ruru is only five. He was in shock. What if he had d-died-"
"So let him!"
Silence.
"He is also useless just like you! Playing with freaking bears and toys like a little girl. He is supposed to be my heir. That's what he is born for! If he cannot become the King in the future, then his life has no meaning to me! I could make another woman bear a better son for me!"
Tears fell out of her eyes. She found it difficult to breathe. Humiliating her was one thing but to think so cruelly about his own child shook her hard.
Mingshen watched her just silently staring at the floor. Her eyes were wet with tears, but her expression seemed unreadable.
Suddenly, Jiang Zhen gasped in pain again. "Yang Ming…Mingshen. Help me. I d-don't know what the hell that food was…but it hurts like hell…" his eyes were losing their focus.
He seemed to be in deep thought.
Jiang Zhen gritted his teeth. "What are you thinking!? Help me already. I feel like I would die!"
"Hmm…I am thinking…" he touched his chin, "of how much to charge you for your treatment?"
"..."
He was horrified.
"You are thinking of money at this point?"
Mingshen tilted his head. "I love money. So, I will think of money. Oh by love, of course, I love my Spicy too. Only she is above money while the rest of the world could just die~" he grinned. "My Spicy is so beautiful. You know, I have this feeling of writing a poem for her."
Jiang Zhen could hardly focus now. "Mingshen…pain…"
"But all words fall so short of properly describing her beauty!" Mingshen shook his head.
"Ahhhhh…p-pain…"
"What should I do? I think a poem is a bad idea. Oh! How about a song?"
"Yang Mingshen!!! Help me, you fucking dimwit!" He roared in impatience.
Mingshen narrowed his eyes. "That tone is not helping, especially when I am talking about my lovely Spicy. I can make your pain much worse than treating it, so beware."
