Chapter 408: Setting towards home
Jinhai immediately hugged her hard. “Of course, I won’t do that. As long as we are together, the twins will stay with us. I won’t come in between you and them.”
Jinhai felt as if he was over the moon. He was so happy. Finally, he wouldn’t have to live separately anymore. Those dark and aimless days were over for him.
Nana said, “I will come with you, but that doesn’t mean I don’t have my condition. My only condition is that I and the twins and you will stay in separate rooms. We will live under the same roof, but that doesn’t mean that we have to share the same room.”
Jinhai stiffened, and he bit his lip.
“I don’t think you are in any position to put any condition to me. I have the custody, not you.”
Nana’s eyelids trembled. He was right. She couldn’t say that if he disagreed, then she won’t come. He had the upper hand.
Nana said nothing.
Jinhai leaned in towards her.
“D-don’t!” Nana exclaimed.
But Jinhai didn’t listen. He cupped her face and gently licked the corner of her eye. The tear that was about to escape her eye landed in his tongue.
Nana stiffened with the proximity. She shivered as his tongue licked her. She turned her face away.
He sighed and whispered. “Alright. We will sleep in separate rooms but! You will not refuse to talk to me. You will not ignore me. You will not push me away from you. Other than living in separate rooms, I am not going to be away from you once you step outside your room.”
Nana was stunned.
Seriously?
She wanted different rooms because she wanted to keep her distance from him, but he was only allowing that until the time she would be in her room. That indirectly meant only during the night.
How could she stay the entire day cooped up in her room if she wanted her distance? The twins would need a stroll too during the day for a breath of fresh air.
Nana pursed her lips. Jinhai narrowed his eyes and bit her ear. She jolted in shock and gasped.
“Liu Jinhai! What are you doing?” she glared at him furiously.
“Heh!” He snickered. “Don’t think that I don’t know what you are trying to do.”
She gritted her teeth.
“You want us to live like strangers? You want to treat me as a stranger? In your dreams! Staying in separate rooms is the only thing I can compromise on. Nothing else.”
Nana couldn’t retort.
I swear I will definitely find a way to get the custody back, she promised herself.
Jinhai let her go, and she immediately stepped back to make distance.
Jinhai smiled. “Since everything is sorted out, I will take my leave. You should rest as well. It is not good for your health to stay awake so late in the night.”
Nana fumed from within.
Who came in here, waking me up at two am!? I was sleeping already!
But she gulped her anger.
“Your family would be ready to take you back tomorrow with them, but…you know what to say to them, right?”
Nana’s jaw tightened.
He tilted his head. “Goodnight, my little wife. Oh, don’t forget to feed the twins. They seem grumpy in hunger.”
“Baaaaa…”
“Abooooo…”
The twins growled in agreement.
“You!”
Jinhai smiled and finally left. In frustration, Nana grabbed her pillow and threw it towards the door.
Her glance shifted to the file of the custody papers. Then she looked back at the twins and patted their heads.
“Baaabaaa…” They smiled.
“Your father is horrible, horrible, horrible!”
The twins didn’t respond. Instead, they cried, waiting for their milk.
Nana’s hearty softened, and she decided not to think about him anymore! For now, she had to feed the twins.
*Flashback ends*
At present, everyone was stupefied to know her decision.
Liang Xiao Dan gently asked, “Nana, why do you want to go back? Didn’t you say yesterday…”
Nana faintly smiled. “I know, Mom. B-but then I thought about it again. I am still mad at Jinhai, but I don’t want the twins to suffer. They miss him too when he is not there with them, and then they cry a lot. I cannot see them like that. They want him just as much they want me. So, I decided it’s best to go back. Sorry, I forgot to inform you yesterday.”
“But…” she seemed doubtful of her reason. Yesterday, Nana seemed pretty firm, but now she wasn’t.
Liang Zou narrowed his eyes. He remembered how Jinhai was so sure to take Nana back with him.
Does he have anything to do with it?
Shin said, “Nana, you don’t have to force yourself. As for Jian and Nian, we can let Jinhai meet them sometimes so that they don’t miss him.”
Liang Zou said, “Shin is right.”
Nana stiffened. “N-no, Big brother, Dad. It’s okay. I have really thought about it. I will go back.”
Grandma Liu was excited to have her and the twins back. She cleared her throat. “If Nana wants to come back, then it’s fine. She is not going to live alone with Jinhai. We are all there with her. Naturally, we will take care of her.”
Liu Chunhua agreed and nodded. “Mom is right. Of course, we will not let her suffer any grievances.”
After much discussion, the Liang family could do nothing much as Nana had already made her decision. They could only agree.

As Serena’s discharge formalities were also about to get over, she was getting worried.
What will happen now? Zixin…will Jianyu let me meet him? Is he going to take him away?
Huo Xiao Fan and Liwei were helping her pack her things.
“Zhilan. I have packed up everything.”
Serena nodded.
Huo Xiao Fan frowned. “Is anything wrong?”
“No, I-“
The door opened, and Jianyu entered the ward. “The formalities are done. We are ready to leave. Mom, take Zixin and wait in the car.”
Chen Liling nodded, and she carried Zixin in her arms.
Serena panicked a bit. “T-that…”
Jianyu raised her brow. “Hm? Are you done packing?”
Huo Xiao Fan said, “Yes, we are done.”
“Okay, then. We will leave.”
“That!” Serena spoke again, nervously.
“What is it?” Jianyu asked.
“W-where are we going? I-I mean me…” she fiddled with her fingers.
Jianyu looked at her in confusion. “What do you mean, where? Where else will we go? We are going to Chen villa.”
