Tiger Wife, Lion Husband (Love In The Realms) #1

Chapter 4: Xue Li is Born (2)

Nine months later...

Xue Liang was excited for her new sibling, she stayed with her mother almost everyday. Listening to her mother's belly when she loved the baby when it kicked. There were times when she missed seeing Liu Gang but she felt that they would meet again. Her heart was patient.

"Big sister can't wait until you are born. Big sister hopes that you are a boy." The baby kicked again making her giggle with her mother smiling looking down at her happy child. Duke Xue Cheng appeared, he knelt down to listen to Consort Ling Fe's belly. He felt the baby kick which made his expression grow happy.

"Father hopes that you are born into this world with great strength." Soon a physician occurred being sent to check on Consort Wan Bao. Duke Xue Cheng had to leave to see his first consort. She was soon found to be with child also.

Xue Liang was sitting down with her mother. Xue Liang had then seen a bush rustle with men in black suits jumping out. They covered her mother's mouth and nose with a cloth as they held her from moving. Kidnapping Consort Ling Fe and Xue Liang.

Xue Liang was awake, seeing the men were there as her mother was laying down near her. Xue Liang shifted, she was a baby tiger. Biting the rope off her mother as she shifted back. "Mother, wake up. We have to get out of here." Consort Ling Fe woke up seeing her daughter trying to get her up. Looking around, she couldn't shift because it could harm her child.

"Liang follows me. Hold your breath." Ling Fe had to use her secret powder that she kept with her. Making those in the room sleep deeply if used. She threw it to the outside of the cell with powder forming everywhere.

Covering her mouth with her cloth, one man held his sword while Consort Ling Fe could only move slightly as the sword was loosen in the man's hand, cutting her slightly. The man however was soon affected by the sleeping powder.

Breaking the wooden cell, she took her daughter. Getting out of the place, she saw that the powder had a deep effect. Making it out, they traveled far enough but she stopped and felt her water break. "Ah!" Clutching her belly it was aching, making her cry in pain.

"Mother, are you okay!?" Xue Liang looked at her with concern, helping her mother.

"Let's go to this place. We have to get your sibling out now." Consort Ling Fe said. They knocked on a stranger's door. Opening up was a man servant as Xue Liang was desperate for help.

"Please! Let my mother come in. She needs a physician!" Looking at him but he was unsure what to do.

"I can't let my master be upset." The manservant remained fearful of his master.

"Please! My mother is in labor! I want to save both of them!" Her mother fell down after a familiar boy Xue Liang met was now in front of her.

"What's going on!?" Liu Gang had a serious look at him looking at his manservant.

"M-Master Liu! I'm sorry these people were-" Being cut off in mid sentence.

"Please help my mother! Please, I want to save my mother and my sibling!" Yelling to him, she clung to his hand. He was surprised by the sudden hand holding his. Liu Gang looked down to see an amber eye girl making his heart felt the need to help her. He couldn't stop looking at her amber desperate eyes.

"You get a midwife and a physician!" Looking at the man servant as he bowed and ran off to find one. Liu Gang had called upon some maids to help Xue Liang's mother into a room.

"Mother, hold on! If only those men didn't kidnap us then this wouldn't be happening!" Liu Gang held Xue Liang by the shoulder.

They weren't allowed to enter the room with the midwife and physician going in with maids. Xue Liang was crying, Liu Gang felt anger in his heart that men would kidnap this girl and her mother.
