Chapter 496: Happiness twice!
Jianyu was dumbfounded.
“Twins…?”
Dr. Lin nodded her head. “Even I was shocked. Usually, we get to know it in the ultrasound, but it seems that the younger twin, your daughter, was hidden by your elder twin in her womb, and her image got blocked. Even in the reports, we didn’t find any difference. It’s actually a very rare case.”
Chen Liling covered her mouth with her hands in disbelief. “Oh my God,…twins? We were hoping for just one child, but God blessed us with two!”
Chen Guiren was just as shocked.
“OMG! Jianyu! Congratulations!” Nana excitedly said.
Huo Xiao Fan and Huo Shen looked at their grandchildren with tears in their eyes. They were wrapped in a bundle of small white blanket.
Jianyu slowly took his son from Dr. Lin while Nana held the younger daughter.
Jinhai smiled. “Congratulations.”
But Jianyu couldn’t say anything. He felt choked up, seeing his two bundles of happiness. A tear dropped from his eye and fell on his newborn’s cheek.
He quickly asked Dr. Lin, “Serena? How is she?”
“Don’t worry. She is alright. She has passed out due to exhaustion and will wake up after a few hours.”
Liwei laughed. “Mom, look. My niece is holding my finger.”
The daughter in Nana’s arms had softly clutched onto his finger.
Nana whispered. “She is so cute. Both are. I cannot get enough of them.”
Chen Liling said, “My turn. My turn! Let me hold my granddaughter, Nana.”
Zixin stomped his feet, and his face puffed up adorably. “They are my brother and sister! Let me look at them too! You adults are hogging everything!”
Everybody burst into laughter.
Zixin finally got the chance to look at his siblings. His eyes sparkled in delight. “They are so small.”
Nana chuckled. “You were also this small when you were just born. Aren’t your siblings so cute?”
He furiously nodded his head. “Especially my sister! She is the cutest!”
Huo Xiao Fan said, “Ho. I already see you doting your younger sister.”
“Of course! I am the elder brother. I have to take care of and protect my sister.”
“Not your brother?”
“He is a boy. Boys can take care of themselves when they grow up.”
Nana laughed. “Just like Mingyu. Jinhai. Do you remember he said the same thing?”
He snorted. “That little boy had some guts to ask for my daughter’s hand.”
Jinhai stiffened. “That reminds me. Don’t take Nuo to Natsukashi often. What if they meet and he tries to hit on her?”
“…”
Nana rolled her eyes.
I cannot believe he is seriously saying that.
A few hours later, Serena slowly woke in consciousness. She looked at Jianyu beside her.
“Jianyu…”
Jianyu smiled. “Congratulations.”
Serena saw him holding one twin while Chen Liling was holding another.
Her eyes teared up.
Now she remembered that she gave birth to twins. During her labor, she was shocked to know that another baby was on the way, but she had no time to rejoice with the pain, and then she soon passed out the moment her daughter was born.
Jianyu slowly placed their daughter in her arms, and then Chen Liling did the same with her son.
She looked at her little dumplings, her heart overflowing with joy. She was so overwhelmed with all the feelings that she could hardly contain them.
In all these five years, she never thought that she would witness this day, but now her twins were her reality.
“Jianyu…They are so small…”
Zixin giggled. “I said the same thing!”
The twins were quietly sleeping in her arms with the most peaceful expression on their little faces.
Now that she looked carefully, her daughter looked more like her while the son was more like Jianyu.
Nana bent and gently tickled their cheeks. Their lips curved into the sweetest smile ever.
Huo Xiao Fan squealed. “They smiled! Oh gosh, they looked so cute! Damn, we should have taken a picture.”
“It’s alright, Xiao Fan,” Huo Shen chuckled at his wife’s excitement. “There will be many more such chances.”
Shin and Huian also arrived a little breathless.
“Sorry. We are late. The flight was late-“
Huian’s sight fell on the twins, and she widened her eyes. “Oh, Gosh! Twins!”
She went to their side, and as if an invisible arrow struck her, she almost fainted. “They are so cute!”
Shin asked, “You were going to have twins? You didn’t tell us!”
Jianyu said, “It was a shocker to us as well. We heard two cries from the ward, and then Dr. Lin brought my son and daughter outside.”
Chen Liling said, “Hehe…we never thought that Nana, Huian and now Serena too, all would give birth to twins!”
Huo Xiao Fan touched her chin. “I think it’s in our genes. Xiao Dan and I actually never mentioned it, but our father had a twin brother, our Uncle. They were identical twins. Then Mom had us, Xiao Dan and me. Even my Uncle’s wife gave birth to twin sons, our cousins. But they live abroad, and we weren’t in touch much. Then I had two daughters, and then Nana, Shin, and Serena, our children also had twins. Only Xiao Dan was an exception. I think twins run in our side of the family just like how mostly boys run in Liu family’s side.”
Jinhai chuckled. “I see. At first, I thought it was coincidence with my boys and then Huian’s twin girls, but now I am sure.”
Chen Liling laughed. “Hohoho. So we can expect our families to grow even bigger in the future. That is so exciting!”
Jianyu chuckled. “Guess we have to work harder to make more fortune.”
Nana’s mouth twitched. “Seriously? All of our current assets can handle at least ten generations easily. You already earn in billions.”
Jinhai said, “I think we should aim for trillions now.”
All the men thoughtfully nodded.
“…”
I guess I spoke a bit too much.
Nana could only lament.
Then she realized something and clapped her hands once.
“Oh, I forgot! Have you thought of any names for your twins?”
