Outside the study room, Chu He could clearly hear Baby Chu’s cheers. “Yay! I’m going to be a big brother!”

She widened her eyes in surprise and looked towards the door. She was somewhat taken aback by Baby Chu’s attitude. She had been so worried earlier that Baby Chu would not be able to accept another pair of younger siblings. She did not expect that the boy would anticipate the arrival of two babies as much as Gu Jinglian and herself! She smiled in relief, finding this heartwarming!

It was her good fortune to have an eldest son like Baby Chu! Now that she knew Baby Chu’s attitude, Chu He felt as though a rock had been lifted off her chest!

The conversation between father and son ended. By the time the door opened, Chu He had already left quietly. Baby Chu ran to Linxi’s room happily and learned from Butler Fu that Linxi was still in school.

Linxi was in primary school while Baby Chu was still in kindergarten. Hence, Linxi ended school slightly later. Having to wait was torturous. Baby Chu could not wait to share this great news with Linxi.

After much anticipation on Baby Chu’s part, Linxi finally finished school. From afar, he could hear Linxi coming into the backyard, greeting Madam Qin and Butler Fu with a little laugh. Baby Chu ran downstairs excitedly, almost throwing himself at Linxi! / Myboxno vel(dot)com /

“Linxi!”

Linxi was a little shocked as he caught Baby Chu. The latter jumped into his embrace, throwing his arms around his neck, and started jumping up and down excitedly.

“Linxi, we’re going to be big brothers! We’re going to be big brothers!”

Before Linxi could figure out what was going on, he heard Baby Chu announcing solemnly, “From now on, you’re the eldest brother and I’m the second brother. Hehe!”

When Butler Fu and Madam Qin heard this, they looked at each other and smiled.

Linxi was taken by surprise. “Baby Chu, what do you mean? I don’t understand.”

“Let me tell you a secret!” Baby Chu tugged at Linxi’s sleeve and whispered to him, “Mommy is pregnant! Daddy said that Mommy is pregnant with two babies—a little brother and a little sister!”

“…”

Linxi was stunned. He widened his eyes in a daze. This news…

It was too sudden!

What a great surprise!

After a long time, he finally reacted by grabbing Baby Chu’s hand and asking in disbelief, “Really?”

“Really, really!”

Baby Chu nodded fervently. “Father told me himself!”

“Good heavens…”

Linxi said, “Then they’re dragon and phoenix twins!”

“Dragon and phoenix twins!?”

“Yes, dragon and phoenix twins… a boy and a girl baby. It’s very rare to have a boy and a girl baby at the same time!”

Baby Chu was even more surprised to hear this. “Really? I thought having twins was very normal.”

“Not at all.”

Linxi was now excited too. He took Baby Chu’s hands and jumped around in circles. “Baby Chu, we’ll have a little brother and little sister!”

“Uh huh!” Baby Chu asked curiously, “Do you prefer a little brother or little sister?”

“Me? I like them all. If I have to choose, then I would prefer a little sister.” Growing up in North Africa, he didn’t have a sister but had younger brothers.

“I prefer a little brother.”

“Why?”

Baby Chu said matter-of-factly, “Because Daddy seems to prefer little sisters and no one seems to like a little brother, so I’ll prefer a little brother then! Besides, if I have a little brother, I can teach him how to play soccer.”

Linxi smiled at him upon hearing this. “Alright, you prefer a little brother then, and I shall prefer a little sister!”
