"The master and the babies are safe," the nurse announced with a smile.
Ling Qianhe's tightly clenched hands instantly relaxed, and a look of almost disbelieving joy flooded his eyes. He pursed his thin lips and asked, "Good. Can I... go see her?"
The nurse nodded, and he rushed towards Lin Muci's room without looking back. He wasn't surprised it was twins. He had known beforehand – one boy, one girl, perfect. His only regret was that even in this modern technological world, childbirth wasn't entirely painless. Otherwise, he would never have let her suffer even a little. In the interstellar world, embryos could be painlessly extracted and grown in incubators. Driven by his possessiveness, he would have even preferred the children to be raised by robots, so as not to disturb his and his dear wife's private time. Ling Qianhe was indeed a bit of a madman in this regard. His heart belonged only to his wife. As for the children – they were merely an accident.
He walked to Lin Muci's side and looked at her. Sweat still glistened on her forehead, but she was stunningly beautiful, more so than ever! Ling Qianhe reached out, his fingertips gently brushing across her cheek. Lin Muci heard him speak, "Are you alright?"
Lin Muci shook her head and asked him, "Where are the babies?"
The nurse brought the babies over. Both were exquisite even as newborns. Indeed, her children with Ling Qianhe, inheriting their appearance, were bound to be exceptionally beautiful. The nurses praised them incessantly. Lin Muci's heart swelled with affection as she gazed at them. She couldn't help but ask him, "Can we take the children with us?"
The nurses, thinking Lin Muci was asking about being discharged immediately, looked somewhat troubled. "She needs to be observed for a few more days..."
Ling Qianhe, however, knew exactly what Lin Muci was asking – if they could take the children away from this little world. He nodded and gave an affirmative answer. "Yes."
Upon hearing Ling Qianhe's confirmation, Lin Muci felt a wave of relief wash over her. "It's good that we can." She had feared her two little ones would have to remain in this world, which would have been too great a price to pay. Now that she knew she could bring them with her, her heart settled. She could rest easy.
...
Three months later. The entertainment headlines had been dominated by Ling Qianhe and Lin Muci for three consecutive months, finally coming to a halt. The TV drama had finished airing. The twins had been born. But what about the promised retirement from the industry? Lin Muci looked at the countless scripts handed to her, feeling a headache coming on. The producers who had once mocked her now presented her with the best scripts, all hoping she would persuade Ling Qianhe to co-star as well. Their attitudes were incredibly amiable. Lin Muci wondered, what was the difference between this and the entertainment world of the past? She had acted enough!
Meanwhile, Ling Qianhe held his wife in his arms, in a state of calm. "Wife, take your time to pick and choose. We're not in a hurry." He was certainly not in a hurry. With the birth of their two little ones, the overall situation was settled. The hidden Mother Nest in this world could no longer prevent him and his wife from achieving world completion. All they needed to do was wait for the twins to grow up, for their family to become the global top tier. The Mother Nest would ultimately be defeated!
