Yan Huan was already dressed. She went to freshen up, but when she saw her reflection, she felt like crying. Caressing her face, she felt that her skin was no longer as bright and tender as before.
Well, this was unavoidable. She was a mother now, or perhaps even an old hag. At least, her body figure was recovering quite well. Even though her belly was still flabby, they were gradually returning to normal.
Even if her current image was captured and spread, it would be fine for her. At least, she did not look exactly like an expired old hag.
As she patted her face, she felt like she was overthinking it. Now, she had to stay at home every day and take care of her three children. Who would still want to sneak a shot of her private life?
When she came out of the washroom, she was feeling much more rejuvenated. Lu Yi was still sitting outside, flipping through today’s newspaper. A glass of milk was beside him, and when he flipped a page, he took a sip from the glass. Then, he continued to concentrate on perusing the newspaper in his hands.
Yan Huan went out for a while, and came back in again.
What happened, are you upset? Lu Yi raised his face up and eyed her askingly. He was not smiling, but his expression was slightly sarcastic.
Yan Huan strode over to him, sat down, and laid on Lu Yi’s legs. Then, she uttered, “There’s nothing left for me.”
Amused, Lu Yi patted her shoulder and asked, “If there was any, why would I be here? Look at me, reading the news idly. Sure enough, we have lost our share. Mother is showing off her grandsons to other people, while grandpa is happily carrying Little Xunxun.”
Luckily, there were three kids, and three elderly in the family. Since each elder would have a kid for company, there would not be any fights among them.
Nevertheless, everyone still loved to hug the soft and sweet-smelling Little Xunxun. However, there was only one Little Xunxun. Old Master Lu was the oldest, so naturally, Xunxun would be in his embrace. As long as he was there, even Lu Jin and Ye Shu Yun would not have their share, much less Yan Huan and Lu Yi.
“Since you don’t have a child to manage, you should sleep more.” Lu Yi pulled over a blanket to cover Yan Huan and whispered, “I’ll wake you up for dinner.”
At first, Yan Huan did not want to nap, but she did not know what else she could do other than sleeping. A Chinese saying goes, ‘Pregnant once, silly for three years.’ Only less than two years had passed, so there was another year to go for her.
She rested on Lu Yi’s legs, ready to take another nap. As she did not have to worry about the three kids, she slept surprisingly well. She did not have to concern herself with anything, but just sleep soundly like a log.
Lu Yi turned another page of the newspaper, while staying by her side quietly all the time.
At this moment, there was a chilly gust outside, felling the wilted leaves unwillingly from their branches. The invisible gale had cruised by without a trace.
The inside of the house was still warm and comfortable. No matter how frosty and snowy it was outside, it would always be a warm spring day in their hearts. With the advent of spring, everything would come to life again, and the sunlight was gentle.
Suddenly, the doorbell of the Lu family’s house rang. The housekeeper was wiping the table, but she quickly threw the rag aside, wiped her hands on her apron, and went to the door.
As soon as she opened it, the housekeeper was aghast at the sight that greeted her.
The visitors were people from the Ye Family, namely Ye Chuji, Ye Xinyu, Ye Jianguo, and their new granddaughter, Sun Yuhan.
Sun Yuhan was no stranger to the Lu Family. She had lived in the Lu Family for a long time after all. Everyone in the Ye family knew her, and even the housekeeper recognized her as well.
The housekeeper swiftly opened the door to welcome the Ye Family in.
Old Master Lu raised his brows and said, “Oh, all of you came.”
Ye Jianguo’s gaze was constantly fixed on the baby that was in Old Master Lu’s arms.
“That’s the girl, right?”
When he saw Ye Jianguo’s ogling, Old Master Lu quickly hid his granddaughter and said, “Old Ye, I’m warning you. This is my great-granddaughter. She has nothing to do with the Ye Family. Don’t you dare do anything to her!”
“Do you think you’re the only one with a great-granddaughter?” Ye Jianguo was not sure why, but Old Master Lu seemed very detestable at that moment. Sure, he has a great-granddaughter now, so he thinks he’s almighty?
Old Master Lu raised his brows and retorted, “Yes. Not only do I have a great-granddaughter, but I also have a great-grandson. In fact, I have two of them. Are you dissatisfied? If you are, I dare you to hit me!”
Old Master Lu snorted, and continued to play with his little granddaughter. The children from the Lu Family were very attractive. Both of the boys were carbon copies of their father, and would surely grow up to be handsome men. Meanwhile, one did not need to worry about Little Xunxun’s future. As she looked exactly the same as her mother, she would definitely be a true beauty in the future.
He has a new great-granddaughter now, so what? Ye Jianguo did not have one. To put it bluntly, Ye Shuyun was not his true daughter, shaving no blood relations to the Ye Family in any way. Therefore his great-granddaughter was completely unrelated to the Ye Family.
This is my little great-granddaughter, no one could snatch her away from me. No, they cannot hold her, not even for a little while.
My little great-granddaughter is so beautiful, what if she’s kidnapped by someone else?
Both of them were almost a century old, but they were glaring at each other like children, snorting repeatedly at each other.
However, Old Master Lu was still beaming with joy, toting and flaunting his little great-granddaughter everywhere he went.
Ye Xinyu was playing with the two boys of the triplets, marveling at the impressive feat. How could my brother be so capable? Some people have trouble having one baby, but he produced three in one attempt.
“Are they both identical?”
“Who’s the older one, and who’s the second child?” This was the first time Ye Xinyu saw both of the babies. He was curious about the baby girl too, but Old Master Lu was very protective of her. He did not dare to even take a step forward, as he was afraid that Old Master Lu would disapprove.
“This is the elder one.” Lu Jin pointed at Lu Qi in his arms and added, “He has a calmer temperament, and doesn’t cry a lot. He would always leave better things for his brother and sister first. This is the second brother.” Lu Jin pointed at Lu Guang in Ye Shuyun’s arms and continued, “He likes to smile, and is the most well-behaved one among all three of them. Actually, it’s easy to differentiate them. They used to look exactly the same, but as they are growing, a small little red mole appeared on Little Guang’s forehead. If you don’t look closely, you would miss it. However, if you look carefully, you can differentiate them in a split.”
“Let me have a look,” Ye Xinyu leaned over, attentively looking for that little red mole Lu Jin mentioned. Sure enough, it was right between Lu Guang’s eyebrows, as though it was dotted by the tip of a pen. Both of the children were identical, almost like a clone of one another. However, just like what Lu Jin said, differentiating them using the red mole was extremely easy.
That being said, he could not notice any differences between the two babies’ temperaments. To him, they seemed the same, unable to speak yet and could only cry.
