Chapter 2450: Refusing to Look, Taken Away
No matter how Fang Hao and Li Hui tried to soothe them, they couldn’t calm the babies. Perhaps it was because newborns have a special sensitivity, like sensing the aura of death...
Di Mingchen felt even more agitated upon hearing this.
Di Jinxuan, Di Xiaxia, and Nangong Lin all stepped forward to see the children. Upon seeing their brows and eyes, they couldn’t help but tear up.
But no one dared to say anything, seemingly afraid of touching a sensitive nerve in Di Mingchen.
Finally, Fang Hao couldn’t hold back any longer. Holding the child, she approached Di Mingchen and spoke in as gentle, even pleading, a tone as possible, "Mingchen, come and look. These are your and Xiaoran’s children."
As soon as Di Mingchen heard this, his eyes instantly reddened.
Such a tall, upright, handsome man suddenly had reddened eyes without warning, making Fang Hao’s nose turn sour.
Without having had the chance to say anything, Di Mingchen stubbornly turned his eyes away, responding coldly and bluntly, "Not looking, take them away!"
Fang Hao’s tears immediately began to fall.
Di Mingzhe, Di Mingjue, and Nangong Jin, along with everyone else, were at a loss for words, not knowing what to say to comfort Di Mingchen at this moment.
Indeed, it was his wife lying inside, something others could empathize with but not truly comfort. It seemed, at that moment, all words were pale, pale, pale.
Originally, it was a momentous occasion, the birth of two new lives, a time for family celebration, yet unexpectedly, the entire family was shedding tears.
The women cried uncontrollably, the men silently with reddened eyes, and noses became sour.
As for Di Mingchen, he stubbornly refused to even glance at his own children, let alone embrace them.
Actually, in his heart, there was pain too, a pain that couldn’t be expressed in words. It seemed the entire world had darkened, boundless and unending, that desperate darkness enveloped him. He felt sad, oppressed, anguished, uncomfortable, and on the brink of collapse, almost every negative emotion there was.
Yet what good would it do.
Would it make Nangong Ran safe and sound?
At this moment, the operating room lights were still on, the two children were crying incessantly, perhaps realizing that from birth they were unloved, to the extent that their father wouldn’t even take a look at them.
The sound of the children’s cries left Di Mingchen physically and mentally exhausted. As a father, albeit newly promoted to a parent, the connection of blood and kinship is embedded in one’s very being.
Whether it’s a boy or girl, how he wished to reach out and hold them in his arms, kissing them over and over.
But his resentment had nowhere to vent, all his emotions were of despair and helplessness. Awkwardly, he refused to look at the children and awkwardly blamed Nangong Ran’s misfortune on them.
The atmosphere became stale like this, the first time a father didn’t want to hold his own children, no, not even look at them.
The men could understand Di Mingchen, if the situation were theirs, it probably wouldn’t be any better.
Ultimately, it was Di Yan who stepped forward with resolve, despite being in his fifties, his eyes were red.
Without a word, he swung his hand to give Di Mingchen a slap.
"Ah, what are you doing!" Fang Hao, distressed, leapt forward, berating Di Yan, "Why are you hitting Mingchen, are you crazy! He’s already miserable enough, and you hit him!"
Fang Hao tenderly touched Di Mingchen’s face.
After taking a slap, Di Mingchen’s exceptionally handsome face turned a bit red, but stubbornly and squarely he refused to turn his head, enduring Di Yan’s slap without even furrowing his brow.
