"What is happening over here ? Why are you sitting on the Xi empire's CEO's chair , Ms. Xinghe ?", Xi Chonglin scowled inaudibly.

Rong Xinghe quickly stood up from Xi Yuan's chair as she cleared her throat before explaining herself ,"I am extremely apologetic , uncle. I just lost my balance and..."

"I hope you understand the importance of this position , Ms. Rong. This position isn't a joke for the Xi family and the company's employees. You should focus on handling your Military Chief Office. Please don't treat the Xi family as one of your pa.s.s-times. This could be considered as an insult to our Xi family.", Xi Chonglin expressed his displeasure straight away.

Rong Xinghe furrowed her brows and looked at Xi Yuan who was also looking at her worriedly. She felt like the uncle and nephew needed to chat with each other properly in private. So the girl simply left the place after she nodded at Xi Chonglin respectfully ,"I understand."

::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

As soon as Rong Xinghe left his office , Xi Yuan adjusted his chair and gestured Xi Chonglin to have a seat as well.

"What was that , uncle ?"

"You know it Yuan. She is just your friend and you were allowing her to sit on the Xi business group's throne. I understand that she is the Military Chief of Country X and that there are her six brothers backing her up continuously. But that doesn't mean that she can forget who we Xis are. We can affect the entire nation's economy overnight."

"The economy of the nation can be shaken overnight by the Zhis and Lus as well , uncle. We still have a long way to go , so there's no point in talking big. We can't be too hostile with the eight siblings , especially Xinghe. We can merely cause havoc in the economy but she is capable enough to destroy the entire country's democracy. She can easily demand the resignations from both the Prime Minister and President of the country. So let's just take it easy.", although Xi Yuan's tone was indifferent and robotic , Xi Chonglin could sense coldness radiating through the man. And why not ? How could a man allow just anyone to disrespect his lady ?

"Is the CEO of Xi Corporations brown nosing someone ?", Xi Chonglin commented sarcastically.

This time, Xi Yuan looked straight into Xi Chonglin's eyes without saying another word to the man. Naturally , Xi Chonglin couldn't handle Xi Yuan's intimidating glare and diverted his gaze elsewhere before gulping down the gla.s.s of water placed on the table in front of him.

"Speak.", Xi Yuan said after sometime.

Xi Chonglin was confused as he looked at the young man with a muddled expression.

"What did you wanted to talk to me about ? You weren't obviously here to insult Xinghe. So please come to the point.", Xi Yuan opened the file in front of him restlessly.

Xi Chonglin was initially taken aback by Xi Yuan's accurate guess. But then he realized that Xi Yuan was just the mirror image of his grandfather. It wasn't surprising for him to be good with judgements.

So Xi Chonglin took a deep breath and revealed his intentions clearly to the man ,"Don't get me wrong Yuan. You know that I don't differentiate between you , Fang and Wei. But I feel like Xi Fang should jump into the compet.i.tion."

"Compet.i.tion ?"

"Compet.i.tion for the position of CEO of Xi Corporations !"

Same day , 9:30 p.m.

Rong Xinghe rushed inside the City Hospital's busy corridor hurriedly ,"How is she ?!"

The entire hospital staff along with other patients' relatives looked at the girl confusedly. What was happening ? Who was this girl running around crazily ? And had she hit her head somewhere ?

"She is our package ! Please let me go and pick her up , sir !", at this time , Zhi Al struggled to get through the crowd. He reached the girl and hauled her to the corner of the corridor angrily ,"Why are you still so stupid ?! So noisy. This is a hospital for h.e.l.l's sake."

"Sorry. I was excited. Is the baby out ? How is sis-in-law Songyan ? Is she fine ? And..."

Zhi Al covered the chatty girl's mouth quickly ,"Don't ask me so many questions ! The baby is yet to be born. Doctors have started the procedures and sis-in-law is in a lot of pain. Brother Zhi Xi is at the verge of getting fainted , by the way."

"Don't worry. I will handle it from here.", the girl walked towards her brothers.

Zhi Xi was biting his nails nervously when Rong Xinghe and Zhi Al arrived in front of Songyan's delivery ward. The four remaining men were trying to calm down Zhi Xi but their were efforts were in vain. It was only when Rong Xinghe squeezed the man's shoulders did he bothered to look at his sister.

"She will be fine. Relax , Mr. Zhi."

"But she is in pain , kiddo. Had I known this would happen , I would've never had allowed this child to be born. It is already troubling its mother.", the man hugged the girl as he sighed helplessly ,"How can women be so strong ?"

"I know , Zhi Xi. But we women aren't born with this strength. Their partner's love , trust and support provides them with this strength to survive that pain. Trust me. When she will hold her child in her arms after she gets her consciousness back , all the pain will be worth it for her.", Ningtao smiled as she pa.s.sed little baby Alix to Lu Wei.

Ningtao was finally off the wheelchair now and had recuperated pretty well. The doctors had given her the green signal to continue acting and live a normal life and this was a relief for the family. As usual , since this was a special moment for them , everyone had gathered in order to welcome the new arrival.

But of course , giving birth wasn't an easy task. Songyan had to go through the labour pain of roughly 11 hours before the troublemaker finally took entry into the world.

Songyan had given birth to a healthy little boy ! This young boy had acquired his facial features from his father. He was literally the baby Zhi Xi. But his expression were just like his mother. Especially , when he smiled sleepily , he perfectly imitated Songyan. And the sight was remarkably cute !

Regarding the prince's name , Rong Xiao was given the right this time. So after researching for one entire day , the little Zhi Xi was named Zhi Taio , meaning a great , distinguished , interesting and unique person.
