Chapter 1344 - Chicharon And Burrito
After all the necessary medical examinations were completed, the new parents allowed the medical staff to show their newborn identical twins to family and friends in another room. Lu Zihao stayed with Long Jinjing in the delivery room.
Although Long Jinjing experienced a shorter labour and quicker childbirth than Iris, she still felt completely drained. She quickly fell asleep after the nurses cleaned her up.
Sun Jingfei entered the delivery room to check on her daughter first. She was excited to meet her new grandsons but her daughter's wellbeing still came first for her. As a mother herself, she knew how difficult it was to give birth.
"Zihao, how's Jing'er?"
"Aunt...Mother." Lu Zihao stood up and pulled another chair for his mother-in-law. "The doctor says that she's fine."
Sun Jingfei released a big sigh of relief before stroking the forehead of her sleeping daughter. "I'm glad. Go to the other room and show off your sons to your grandfather and the others, Zihao. I'll accompany Jing'er until you return."
"No need, Mother. I'll accompany my wife. You should meet your grandsons instead."
She smiled but shook her head. "Please go, Zihao. I want to spend a few minutes with my daughter alone. I have plenty of time to dote on my grandsons later. Don't worry. Nothing will happen to your wife. She's my daughter. I'll take care of her."
Lu Zihao looked reluctant but still nodded. He didn't care if his mother-in-law was in front of him. He went ahead and kissed his sleeping wife on the lips. Sun Jingfei was completely red when he left.
In the other room, Lu Zihao saw Grandpa Lu carrying one baby while Jin Liwei held the other one.
"Haohao my boy!" Grandpa Lu was ecstatic but still made sure to lower the volume of his voice to avoid frightening his newest set of twin great-grandsons. "You did well for a dunderhead! You and your third brother both did well! But of course, the biggest credit goes to both of your wives! Without Xiulan my girl and Jinjing my girl, how could stinky pinheads like the two of you sire a set of twins each? This old man is over the moon from joy!"
Lu Zihao grunted but his expression was soft as he gazed at his twins. Even without looking at the tags the nurses placed on the babies, he could still instantly recognize which one was the eldest and which one was the youngest.
Iris gave him a hug. "Congratulations, Big Brother!"
"Hm, thanks."
Jin Liwei handed the baby that he was holding to him. Lu Zihao cradled his eldest twin son. Although he looked awkward due to his huge size, his movements were still smooth and natural. He already had plenty of practice with his twin nephews, Little Mochi and Little Matcha.
"This is Mikhail," he murmured.
Iris' eyes lit up. "Oh, so he's a Misha? Little Misha?"
"Hm."
"What about the other one?" she asked next.
"Dmitri."
"What a lovely name. So he's Little Dima?"
Lu Zihao nodded. He was in a good mood. As expected, his sister was the only one who didn't need any additional explanations. She understood the names of his sons right away.
Jin Liwei was still fine because he already had an understanding why Lu Zihao wanted to give Russian names to his own twins sons, but this wasn't the case for the others. They looked surprised at the foreign-sounding names Lu Zihao gave to his sons, especially Grandpa Lu.
"What Shasha? What Mima? Are these the names you chose? Tell me, I want to know! How dare you name my precious great-grandsons so carelessly, you stinky dunderhead? These names don't sound good at all! This old man rejects these careless names!"
"Ahem, I think they sound nice," Dom interjected. "I think Misha and Dima sound better than what Boss wants to call her new nephews."
Lu Zihao had a bad premonition but still asked, "What did my sister want to name my kids?"
"Chicharon and Burrito! So creative, right? Perfect pair like Mochi and Matcha! I actually suggested Tabasco and Sriracha to be a bit different than usual, but on further thought, I agree that boss is right, Chicharon and Burrito sound cuter! Huh, no? Okay...ahem, I'll zip my mouth shut now. Ehehehe."
Jiang Ying Yue pulled her talkative friend away from the line of fire.
Even the mischievous Grandpa Lu couldn't stop himself from revealing a horrified expression. "Chicharon and Burrito?! Tabasco and Sriracha?! Xiulan my girl and Dom you brat, don't even think about it! You too, Haohao! Don't follow your little sister's example of giving weird names to children!"
Lu Zihao threw his sister an exasperated side eye and a warning glare at the sheepish Dom. Iris only shrugged while Dom continued ehehe-ing to Jiang Ying Yue. Jin Liwei didn't join the ridiculous conversation but the amusement was obvious in his expression.
"Jinjing and I had already agreed that our sons will have Mikhail and Dmitri as their official English names. Their nicknames will be Little Misha and Little Dima, not Shasha or Mima. Mikhail and Dmitri are excellent Russian names that fit my sons."
Iris nodded at her brothers' words, agreeing that Mikhail and Dmitri were indeed excellent names. She glanced at Jin Liwei and whispered, "I want to give our sons Russian names, too."
"Alright," Jin Liwei immediately agreed. "Whatever Russian names you come up with, we'll register them as Little Mochi and Little Matcha's official English names.
After seeing Lu Zihao's stubborn determination and Iris' wholehearted agreement, Grandpa Lu was persuaded. "Hmph! Fine, if that's what you want, you stinky boy!"
"But Jinjing still wants you to give our sons their Chinese names," Lu Zihao said.
The old man's expression immediately brightened. "Of course! I have several names prepared this time after being caught off guard last time. Oh, wait! Do we wait for your father-in-law to arrive so that he can name one of the twins again?"
"Just name both, old man. Who knows what time Jinjing's father will arrive here?" Lu Zihao didn't give a fuck about Long Tengfei at all.
In the end, Grandpa Lu named the eldest twin Lu Tianyu and the youngest twin Lu Zhiyuan.
