The Young master's fake bride and her lucky system-Chapter 619: Genesis’s identity...finally.
Chapter 619: Genesis’s identity...finally.
Alix did not want to stay for the rest of the funeral but she did so out of courtesy. There was no need stirring the pot at a funeral anyway.
If she still had access to the game, she would sneak away and play but the system elf had cut her off from the game world completely, claiming that the last three levels involved real world consequences she could not afford to bear.
Now, she spent her time training, composing music and just living.
When she was bored, the elf would take her on tours of the virtual gaming worlds, so far she had visited thirteen worlds already.
It helped that she could still purchase some things so her mall was doing fine, thriving and the sales had multiplied.
"Mafan, let’s take some of their money as well, i should lend a hand to the schemer." She turned to Caishen and gestured for him to take her hand. "I have to use the bathroom again."
She was feeling more pressure on her bladder and as reluctant as she was to step into the Shen house thanks to the unfortunate encounter with Shen Biao, she had no choice.
When they stood up, they drew attention from the other Tai’s. Everyone knew that Alix was close to the determined date of birth so every movement of hers was watched closely.
"Is it time?" Grandpa Tai leaned forward.
That part eager and part anxious look on his face meant that he was ready to leap into action and carry her away from this venue immediately if his grand babies were on the way.
"Not yet, she just needs to take a walk." Caishen told him.
Tai Ho Sun stood up and offered to assist, taking Alix’s left hand while Caishen took the right one. They walked her slowly back towards the same direction she had just returned from.
Some people that saw them smiled, sent a look of sympathy and understanding Alix’s way or didn’t care. There were those like Zhang Lexian that folded their lips and scoffed, thinking that Alix was exaggerating the discomfort she was feeling.
Grandma Zhang approached them, slightly anxious as Alix had not been like this when they met upon arrival at the funeral. She even noticed little beads of sweat on her forehead and used her own handkerchief to dab them away.
"Is it time?"
The men could not speak for Alix so they looked at her.
Alix put her hand on her waist, feeling a slight discomfort. Since her confrontation with Shen Biao, the babies had become a little too restless.
"What is wrong?" Caishen whispered to her.
He had noticed her discomfort which had been prevalent since morning. The naughty ones in his wife’s belly were really acting out.
If they were at home, he would put his head on her belly and warn them to behave which sometimes worked. But right now, they were in public and that solution would not work.
Alix groaned softly and drew out a long breath.
"Wife...." Caishen called out anxiously.
Alix stopped walking, she retrieved her hands from those of the two worried men and looked at one particular funeral wreath with increasing interest. It was round, in a circular shape, made up of white and yellow roses. There was nothing special or outstanding about it but her sharp eyes had caught something. Their was a handwritten note from the sender, expressing their sympathies.
The handwriting was quite similar to her, she could recognize it any time of the day because she had been looking at many writing samples for all system hosts and people around her.
She had analyzed, studied and learned every detail in the note that was given to her when the dark side tried to entice her. This one was a match, her eyes and mind were certain of it.
"System, scan." she whispered.
She drew in another sharp breath as she felt some mild pain in her lower abdomen. Alix had never given birth but this seemed to be labor pain to her. But until her water broke, she could not be certain of it.
"You are in labor and denial, pick one." The system informed her very sarcastically. "These are the consequences of not listening to me and evacuating the babies early. It could have been easy and painless but no....you had to be stubborn about it, you needed to bake them until they were well done."
Another wave of pain hit her and she groaned, gritting her teeth, longing to break the system’s neck.
That groan was enough for Caishen, he bent and lifted her off her feet. "That’s it, we are going to a hospital right now."
"Wait.." Alix moaned out.
She had to wait for a conformation from the system first, her water had broken yet, she had more time.
The small fuss had caught the eyes of some of the guests at the funeral and it had the Tai’s and Zhang’s abandoning their seats.
As they approached and started surrounding the couple, the noise around Alix became louder.
"Take her to the hospital right now."
"Call the doctor, no, is someone here a doctor?"
"Are we finally going to witness five babies being born?"
"It’s happening, where is my camera."
"What are you waiting for Caishen, the babies cannot be born at the venue of a funeral, it is bad luck."
Almost everyone seemed to have an opinion, not that Alix cared much for them.
"Done, it’s a perfect match." The system confirmed.
Alix smiled through the pain from the latest contraction she was experiencing. After searching for so long, she had finally found a second clue.
"Hurry up, find out who brought the wreath." she ordered it.
She stretched her hand towards it but it was a little too far out of her reach.
"What, sister do you want flowers?" Tai Ho Sun asked, shouting a little too loudly.
"No, she wants us to get rid of the flowers." Tai Fong misinterpreted.
"Sister, i will handle it." Tai Jiaan looked around like a thief and shoved the wreath, sending it to the ground. The note Alix wanted was blown away by the wind before she could see the name of the sender.
"Noooo..." Alix croaked out.
"You idiot, she is unhappy, bring it back." Auntie Mo yelled.
Alix whimpered and Caishen could not take it anymore, to his eyes, she was enduring the pain felt by someone that had been shot by a thousand arrows.
"We are going to the hospital, right now."
He determinedly took steps leading Alix away from the Shen ancestral compound. Other Tai’s and a few Zhang’s followed.
To the Zhang family, not everybody could follow, some had to stay back and represent the family. The Tai’s did not care to please the Shen’s or any other wealthy or powerful person at the funeral.
As one family, they moved together, to endure joys and sorrows.
"I have got it host, we finally know who the real Genesis is and where to find her. It’s finally time for our entanglement to come to an end."
The system revealed an image of the real Genesis, it was someone that had crossed her mind once as a possible candidate but quickly been dismissed because of lack of evidence.
"Lock down the hidden city." She told the system.
