Chapter 177: Another truth

In her bedroom, an uneasy silence, as heavy as an elephant surrounded Muyang and Chi Lian who were sitting on the bed, for she had nowhere to begin and he had no idea what to say. Both of them had a secret, one that they worried would change the course of their relationship.

As the seconds went by, the unease grew, nourished by the fright in the air.

"I..." they both went at the same time and stopped to let the other go first. A new silence followed the awkwardness.

"Host, the more time you spend beating around the bush, the more time you add onto the search for your son. Tell him, he may be of help."

Heeding T4’s advice, "I will go first," Chi Lian said quickly.

Muyang nodded in agreement and he looked at her expectantly but somewhat worried.

She stood up from the bed and nervously walked around the room with her arms hugging her body tightly.

Muyang could not stand to see her like this, when she passed by him, he pulled her into his arms and sat back down with her on top of his laps. He wrapped his arms around her waist and leaned his head against her back.

"It’s okay." He said softly, "Whatever it is, I promise that I am going nowhere. We can deal with it together."

She listened to his soothing voice and steady beat, reminding her that she was not alone. This gave her strength and courage to tell him the truth.

"I think Mei-Mei is my biological daughter, "she said, "I made a foolish mistake on impulse a few years ago and decided to donate my eggs. I regretted the decision afterwards and told the doctor to destroy my eggs but he didn’t. He sold one egg to some woman and she got pregnant with twins. If I am not mistaken Mei-Mei could be my daughter and she has a twin brother out there that I never knew about. I had no idea Muyang, I really had no idea." She paused and suddenly sobbed. Talking about it now, the gravity of the situation hit her.

"I did not lie to you, I adopted her without knowledge of the circumstances surrounding he birth. I have no idea who her biological father is. All I know is that the bastard sold my son to someone else." She sobbed once more, her heart was hurting, full of pain and racked with guilt.

She was holding her head in her hands, crying pitifully. "What do I do Muyang; I am the worst mother in the world." She wailed loudly.

Muyang who had received the results of the DNA test from Wenzhe in the evening was confused. What did she mean by twins and that the bastard father sold the son. He was the father, when did he sell his son?

"Chi-Chi," he called her name sternly. He pushed her body off his laps and made her turn around to face him. "Stop crying, You are a good mother and you have to explain things well so that I can understand."

Her heart clenched at the sternness of his voice. Was this the moment she was dreading?

"I...I am Chi-Chi’s biological mother." She replied unsurely.

"Have you done a DNA test?" he asked.

"Not yet." She said, "But I am going to do one as soon as possible. However according to the doctor’s confession, he used my egg. When I find their bastard father.."

"I am the father." He said suddenly but confidently. There was no doubt in his words; he meant what he had just said.

His sudden words brought some relief to her. It seemed like Muyang was not throwing the towel in on their relationship. He still wanted to be Mei-Mei’s father. This meant he would be willing to be the father of her son as well.

"Thank you." She threw herself onto his body gratefully. "I was so worried that you would abandon me after hearing my confession. Even though you are not the biological father, in my heart and mind, you are the only father who matters." She said additionally.

"Huh." Muyang thought he heard misheard her words. Did this woman misunderstand him? He needed to clarify things immediately.

"Chi-Chi, listen well, I am the father of the children, their biological father. I did a DNA test, for both of us and we are Mei-Mei’s biological parents."

She let go of him immediately as if he was a live wire which could electrocute her at any moment.

"What?" she yelled in shock. "What are you talking about, how?"

"Calm down," he pulled her back but this time round, he sat her down on the bed. "I recently found out that the DNA test Wenzhe did was real. He has known that Mei-Mei is my daughter for months now. I did some investigating of my own and found out the most unbelievable thing. The sperm which was used was mine."

"But..." she said softly. Her eyes were filled with confusion. How did Muyang’s sperm end up in the fertility hospital.

"I know, it’s a long story, what happened is..." he filled her in on doctor Ouyang and the theft of his sperm.

After his narration was finished, her arms limply fell at her side.

"Host, this is the best outcome you could have ever wished for. This is a one in a billion or ten billion kind of coincidence. Wow!!!! This could be a movie."

"T4 not now."

"Chi-Chi," Muyang shook her body, "Are you okay?"

"I am okay." She responded softly, "I am just shocked and happy that the man I love is the father of my children. You have no idea how scared I was when I thought about the fact that I would lose you because another man fathered our children." The hopeless tears returned to her eyes, "I am so happy Muyang."

"Me too Chi-Chi, I am so happy. However right now is not the time for us to sit and talk about our feelings, we need to find out what happened to our son as soon as possible." He said determinedly.

"Yes," she looked just as determined as he did. "We need to find our son." She reached for her phone and checked it but there was no call from old tiger. "We just need the doctor to give us the license plate and then we can begin the search."

"Was the doctor the man in the basement? "he questioned.

"Yes, "she nodded. "After getting his confession, he said he would give me the license plate if I allow him to go to the airport."

Muyang stood up abruptly from the bed and yelled "no, he cannot be allowed to go scot free after what he did. He will have to pay the consequences because he played a role in the trafficking of our son. Which airport is it?" he asked her through gritted teeth with clenched hands.

The door swung open and the two turned to lay their eyes on Mama Chi and Papa Chi who were frowning angrily and very disappointed.
