His Genius Wife is a Superstar

Three hours later, the doctor personally came out of the delivery room into the waiting lounge to announce the good news. 

"Mr. and Mrs. Lu have welcomed two healthy baby boys—identical twins," she announced. "The mother and babies are all doing well."

Long Jinjing's mother, Sun Jingfei, arrived not too long ago. She lived quite far from Dragon Palace so it took her quite some time to travel from home to the mansion. She also brought luggage because she was going to stay and help her daughter with the month-long confinement just like how Huang Yuyan did for Iris.

"Oh, twin boys!" Sun Jingfei burst into joyful tears. 

"Bahahahahaha, another set of twins!" Grandpa Lu was also beside himself with excitement. "Xiulan my girl and Jinjing my girl are truly sisters! Both giving birth to twin boys! How can such blessed sisters marry my two pinheaded grandsons? Tell me, I want to know! Those two dunderheads don't deserve such wonderful women! Bahahahaha! Two sets of twins! This old man is glad to have lived this long! It's worth it!"

Jin Liwei's mouth twitched. Although he agreed that he didn't fully deserve his beautiful genius wife because nobody in the face of the planet completely deserved her, he still didn't like being called a pinhead or a dunderhead. But what could he do when the one insulting him was Grandpa Lu?

Beside him, Iris was also smiling. "Identical twins! I wonder what they look like. I can't wait to see my twin nephews."

"En. Me, too." Jin Liwei was also curious. 

Their own human sons were fraternal twins. Little Mochi took after the maternal side the most in terms of appearance while Little Matcha resembled Jin Liwei to a frightening degree. The twins looked so different from each other, not to mention that their personalities were also poles apart.

Both Iris and Jin Liwei wanted to see what Long Jinjing and Lu Zihao's identical twins looked like. 

Who would the twins resemble? Their mother or father? Or maybe both?

While Sun Jingfei and Grandpa Lu were asking the doctor a series of questions, the others were chatting with each other. Dom and Jiang Ying Yue were busy updating the other members of the girl squad in their group chat.

Chen Fei immediately called back. Meimei was probably absorbed in working on her webtoon while Clover might still be asleep in France.

"I'm a little envious of Big Sister," Iris said. "She gave birth so quickly."

Jin Liwei hugged her. Indeed, even he felt a little envious as well. He watched his wife suffer during labour for so many hours after finally giving birth. He thought that his brother-in-law was so lucky. And in extension, the doctor and the medical staff also dodged a bullet.

He wouldn't be surprised if Lu Zihao made trouble with the medical staff if Long Jinjing suffered for as long as Iris did. To be honest, Jin Liwei was a little surprised that everything seemed to have gone well inside the delivery room. Lu Zihao hadn't strangled anyone and no medical staff member had fainted from fright.

Inside the delivery room, Long Jinjing's tears flowed freely down her face as she gazed at her newborn babies. They had already been cleaned. Lu Zihao also personally cut their umbilical cords. 

Her husband held the eldest twin son while she cradled the youngest.

"So ugly," Lu Zihao commented.

Long Jinjing's expression twisted. "How could you say that? They're your sons!"

While she berated him, the nurses who were cleaning up in the background looked at each other. Why did this scene look familiar?

Lu Zihao's "so ugly" comment was the exact words that Iris used when she saw her twins after giving birth. The only difference was that Long Jinjing reacted like how other normal new mothers should react—to defend her babies from any insults even from her own husband. 

In Iris' case not too long ago, her husband Jin Liwei also acted in an abnormal way and agreed with her, even calling their second twin son who resembled him the most as looking like a "drowned rat". 

Iris and Jin Liwei were both abnormal. Lu Zihao was also an abnormal one but at least his wife was still normal.

Indeed, Long Jinjing reacted how normal parents should react upon seeing their newborns for the first time and not call their own poor babies ugly.

The nurses were glad for the identical twins that their mother was sane. Never mind their father. Having one normal parent was already a good thing.

At least, the identical twins weren't as pitiful as their older fraternal twin cousins who had been insulted by their own parents for being ugly as soon as they were born.

Lu Zihao didn't bother arguing with his furious wife. He could only stay silent and take the scolding. 

Deep inside, however, his opinion remained unchanged. His twin sons were really so ugly. They looked even uglier than Little Mochi and Little Matcha when his nephews were just born.

His mouth curved up as he gazed at his first descendants. Ugly or not, these little brats were his own sons. It would be a lie if he said that he wasn't happy. 

The truth was…he was happy. Extremely so. 

An unfamiliar sense of accomplishment filled him. And pride. Oh, the pride he felt!

"My sons, Mikhail and Dmitri," he murmured.

Long Jinjing stopped in the middle of her rant. "W-what did you just say?"

He smiled. "Our eldest son will be named Mikhail or Little Misha while our second son will be called Dmitri or Little Dima."

"Oh." She blinked a few times and rolled the foreign names in her tongue. "Little Misha, Little Dima…these nicknames are so cute. I'm so relieved that you're not like my sister who wants to give our babies ridiculous food names." Then she frowned. "B-but…Michael and D-dirty?"

"Mikhail and Dmitri," he corrected.

"Mehell and Demetery?"

He sighed but didn't correct her anymore. His wife would slowly learn how to pronounce their sons' names properly. 

"I like these names. We can use Mehell and Demetery as their English names but…we're Chinese. I still want our babies to have traditional Chinese names. Okay, Ni—Zihao?"

"Hm, fine. You give them Chinese names, then."

"I, uh…how about we ask Grandpa Lu to name our twins, too?" she suggested.

"That's fine."
