Wen Ning was extremely nervous as he approached Cloud Recesses. He had arranged to meet with the Sect Leader to discuss an important proposal that he had recently recieved from the Emperor himself. The proposal had caught him off guard and something he didn't think was imaginable. It was rare that the Emperor even showed interest in the cultivation world. It was something he couldnt take lightely as it would helpp bridge the two worlds together. Yet, if he was honest with himself Wen Ning simply wanted to hide. He never imagined that becoming a Sect Leader would bring in oppurtuntiies he didn't realize were possible. He needed sound advice and one that wasn't judging or demanding.

This visit would also allow time for him to see his friends and get a small break. Once he arrived, Wen Ning still had time before he was able to talk with the Sect Leader. He chose to seek out WuXian for the time being.

Wen Ning shook his head in agreement, glad to hear that things were going well for her and their children. They couldn't risk anything bad happening with the one month ceremony rapidly approaching. It was still a risky stage for the newborns.

While he waited for the food to be served, Wen Ning pulled out a small parcel and handed it over to Meili. Inside the box was necklace with four pearls woven in the design to signfy their family. He had wanted to give it to her the day the children were born, but with everything going on he felt it best to wait.

"I got this for you in celebration of the children being born. I thought you could wear it for the one month celebration." Wen Ning softely stated. Granted, Wen Ning didn't need any reason give his wife a gift. He was known to give her small trinkets from time to time for just because.

She was also worried about that as well, since the babies were so small compared to what she remembered her younger siblings being, but her mother had reassured it was normal for twins to be smaller and there was nothing wrong with it so young. Everyone seemed pleased so that was wonderful.

Meili was surprised, but also not at the same time as he passed her the present. She smiled and opened the box, definitely surprised to see what it was.

"Oh, Qionglin, it is beautiful. I will definitely wear for their one month. I'll have it put away for the moment since it should be worn the first time then."

She closed the box and one of her maids came to retrieve it so she could put away in Meili's jewelry box.

"I'll be sure to wear the scarf you made me as well." He stated, pleased. Even though she made him other various pieces, the scarf was still his favorite.

He couldn't help but smile widely at her excitement over the gift. He always loved watching her reactions. Her smiles were all he really needed. He was content doing a few ghost hunts to not only stay in practice, but to have funds to splurge on his family. It also looked good that he still lead his disciples on the hunts. He didn't want to be viewed as someone who ignored ghost hunts now that he was a leader.

He had been careful this month specifically not to participate in any. He didn't want to bring possible risks to his new family.

Now that the food was ready, Wen Ning settled down to eat. Then soon he would spend time holding the newborns allowing them to get to know him.

Meili had made him many things since they had first gotten married, but she knew that he loved the scarf the most and it made her happy that he did. She had worked so hard on it because it was also a way to show that she would be a good wife.

She knew that he still went night hunting and though she worried about him, it was part of his job as a cultivator. She did appreciate that he had taken a break from leading the night hunts for the time being when she had two young children that she was caring for.

She smiled, eating once the food was brought over to them. After they had finished, the nannies brought the babies back out so that their father could spend time with them.

Carefuly, Wen Ning held his two children in his arms. It used to take a while for him to get used to it and not worry about dropping them or making them uncomfortable. Now he was used to it. It helped having some practice with A-Yuan and some of the other children he had gotten to know from a young age.

It was going to be a while before the babies became more active. For the most part they were usually sleeping or content to watch everything giong on around them. He quietly talked to them keeping everything short and simple. He wasn't one for baby talk, but knew enough to still make it simple. This time he brought with him some toys for them to hold onto.

The nannies helped to get the babies adjusted in his arms so that he could hold them. They were always overly cautious, which was a good thing, according to the Empress. The more overly cautious, the safer the children were. Even Meili had been overly concerned when they were first born, but having the nannies who had had their own children before made it easier.

Meili continued to sit nearby, smiling gently as she watched her husband with the babies. They were definitely loved. Their son was sleeping most of the time that Wen Ning was there, but their daughter was at least interested in the toys that he had brought and wanted to hold onto them.
