The next morning, people rushed to the hospital wing after breakfast. Nobody blocked them this time. Thank goodness!
The delivery room had been transformed into a large comfy bedroom overnight (with all the necessary state-of-the art medical equipment, of course).
When Grandpa Lu and the others entered, they saw Iris in bed cradling a tiny infant in her arms. She was radiating joy, gentleness and motherly aura. She greeted them with a bright and beautiful smile.
"Eh, would you look at that?" Grandpa Lu adjusted his booming voice to avoid startling the baby.
He was the first one to take the baby from Iris and carefully carry the little one in his arms.
"Hello there, little lad," Grandpa Lu cooed. "I'm your Great-Grandpa Lu. Look at these tiny hands and feet! Those little eyes, nose and mouth! You are the cutest baby that this old man has ever seen in my long life! Aren't I right, Sister Zhiruo?"
Grandma Li peeked at the small bundle of joy. "You're right, Brother Jianhong. Indeed, our great-grandson is the cutest."
Huang Yuyan squeezed closer. Her eyes immediately watered as soon as she saw her grandson. "So cute."
The others crowded around the baby. Each of them were fighting to be the next one to hold the little one.
"Where's Brother-in-Law Liwei?" Long Jinjing asked.
"With our other son," Iris whispered.
Long Jinjing nodded and clamped her mouth shut while looking nervously at the others. She sighed of relief when nobody noticed their conversation. The others were too busy doting on the baby.
"How are you feeling?" Lu Zihao asked Iris next.
"Like something many times bigger than my husband's penis crawled out of my vagina."
Long Jinjing turned red while Lu Zihao scowled at his overly straightforward sister.
Iris shrugged. "Well, it's true." Then she sighed and decided to tell the truth. "It was the worst pain that I've ever experienced. But I survived."
Long Jinjing shuddered and subconsciously touched her swollen belly. Lu Zihao hugged her. She immediately felt better in his embrace.
"I'm glad that you're fine," he told Iris.
"Yes, I'm also glad that you're fine, little sister," Long Jinjing said as well.
"Thanks, Big Brother and Big Sister."
Long Jinjing peeked at the baby being carried by Huang Yuyan this time.
"The baby looks like you, little sister," she commented.
Iris only smiled but didn't reply.
"Which part of that ugly thing looks like my sister?" Lu Zihao asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone hit him hard in the back a few times.
"You stinky boy! How dare you call your adorable nephew an ugly thing?! Did your brain become filled with nothing but poop? Tell me, I want to know!!! See how this old man smack you until you learn your bloody lesson!!!"
Iris stopped mid-nod. Actually, she agreed with her brother but it seemed that the others didn't think the same way. All she could hear around her was nonstop praises about how cute and adorable her baby looked.
Even Long Jinjing looked offended at what Lu Zihao said just now. She even apologized to Iris on his behalf.
"Alright, that's enough," Grandma Li said. "Don't be so loud, Brother Jianhong, or you'll scare our great-grandson."
"Hmph!" Grandpa Lu gave Lu Zihao another smack before returning to coo at the new love of his life, his great-grandson.
Finally, Jin Liwei arrived.
"Son, you're back!" Huang Yuyan couldn't hide her joy and excitement. "Look at my grandson! He's the most precious and adora—?!"
Everyone turned their heads after Huang Yuyan's loud gasp.
"What in the bloody tarnation?!" Grandpa Lu's eyes almost popped out of his head while his jaw fell wide open.
Grandma Li was now the one carrying the baby. She looked the calmest among those who didn't know the truth yet. It was as if she already knew everything beforehand.
"Oh. Oh! Oh!!!" Huang Yuyan approached her son and looked at what he was carrying.
Jin Liwei showed off his second human son to his mother with a proud expression.
This time, his mother burst into tears. Huang Yuyan laughed while wiping her eyes.
"The two of you really got us good!" She pretended to glare at her son and daughter-in-law but couldn't stop the big grin from spreading across her face.
Jin Liwei transferred his second son to his mother's arms.
"Oh, he looks exactly like you, son," Huang Yuyan told him.
Grandma Li approached and stood beside her. They compared the infants in their arms.
"Fraternal twins?" she asked his grandson.
"Yes, Grandmother," Jin Liwei replied.
Grandma Li's natural frosty aura warmed up several degrees. "What a beautiful pair of sons! These two are great blessings to our family."
Everyone agreed.
Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui finally got their chance to hold the two babies. Long Tengfei carried the eldest son while Yang Jiahui held the second son.
"You're right," Yang Jiahui told Huang Yuyan. "This little one looks like his father."
"Right?" Huang Yuyan was thrilled.
"And the other little one looks like Xiulan," Yang Jiahui said next.
Long Tengfei studied the infant in his arms. Indeed, the baby looked like his youngest daughter. But if someone were to ask him, he would say that the baby resembled his maternal grandmother more than his mother.
Although this baby resembled his ex-wife, Wei Lan, he didn't allow it to tarnish his grandfatherly love for the little one. He loved both of his newborn grandsons regardless of who they looked like.
His thoughts were interrupted when the baby in his arms started crying. He started to panic because he had little experience in personally coaxing babies despite having four children of his own.
"Darling, bring Little Mochi for me to feed," Iris said.
"En." Jin Liwei took his eldest baby son from his father-in-law.
"Little Mochi?" Lu Zihao asked, frowning.
All of them had a bad premonition.
"Yes." Iris received her eldest human son from her husband. "This is Little Mochi."
"Then what about the other one?"
"That's Little Matcha."
Huang Yuyan sent Grandpa Lu a desperate look. "Uncle, the names. Hurry."
Grandma Li sighed and shook her head.
Iris blinked at their odd expressions. "What's wrong?"
