Chapter 1298 - Jin Haoyu And Jin Lingyu

Nobody replied right away to Iris' question. They didn't dare to criticize her terrible naming sense to her face especially when she hadn't even recovered from giving birth yet. 

What if she became upset and refused to let everyone meet her babies?

That would be unbearable especially for the elders who already fell in love with the two little ones. 

"I…I think that Little Mochi and Little Matcha sounds c-cute," Long Jinjing said in a hesitant manner. She immediately hid behind her man's hulking back when the others looked at her in disbelief.

"These are okay for nicknames," Lu Zihao said, shifting the attention from his timid woman to himself. "And Mochi and Matcha don't sound that shitty compared to ridiculous names like...say, Porkchop or Sardine."

"Goodness, Porkchop and Sardine," Huang Yuyan mumbled while shuddering.

Her daughter-in-law might really name her grandsons like that. Now that she thought about it, Mochi and Matcha indeed sounded rather cute—well, compared to other less pleasant options like Porkchop or Sardine like what Lu Zihao said just now. 

Huang Yuyan pressed her hand over her heart and felt like her precious grandsons dodged a bullet. How pitiful would they be if their mother named them Porkchop and Sardine?

"Y-yes, yes! Let's have Mochi and Matcha as my grandsons' nicknames." Huang Yuyan turned to Grandpa Lu, her eyes full of desperate pleading. "Uncle, how about you give them their official names now?"

"Hmmm!" Grandpa Lu stroked his perfectly groomed white mustache. "This old man thought that there would only be one baby so I only came up with one perfect name. I will need to revisit the other names that I eliminated to come up with another name for the second baby. Give me a bit more time and I'll come up with perfect names for both of my precious great-grandsons!"

"No need for that!" Long Tengfei interrupted.

Everyone looked at him. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]

"Sir Lu can name the eldest baby with the name he already prepared and I can name the second baby!" He turned to his daughter and sent her an almost begging look.

Everyone looked at Iris next and waited for her decision.

"That's fine," Iris said.

Jin Liwei also nodded. 

Long Tengfei grinned, clearly excited. His wife, Yang Jiahui, smiled and felt happy for him.

In the end, Grandpa Lu named the eldest son Jin Haoyu while Long Tengfei named the second son Jin Lingyu.

Both Iris and Jin Liwei accepted the new names and thanked Grandpa Lu and Long Tengfei.

The others were relieved that the twins received their official names. It would be tragic if Iris went ahead and registered her babies' names as Mochi and Matcha in their birth certificates. 

Nobody trusted Jin Liwei to stop his wife. The man was so crazy in love with his wife that he wouldn't even bat an eye if Iris really named their twins Porkchop and Sardine. 

###

In just a few days after their birth, Jin Haoyu and Jin Lingyu quickly grew plumper, smoother and more adorable. Even their parents who called them ugly before without any remorse no longer did so.

Iris entered a month-long confinement for a thorough recovery after childbirth. She moved back to the master bedroom with her twins. 

The twins had their own nursery room near the master suite but Iris and Jin Liwei still preferred to sleep with their babies in the same room. The babies had their own customized crib large enough to fit the two of them and their fat feline eldest sister, Ice Cream.

The moment that Ice Cream met her human siblings, she immediately went into guardian mode. She always accompanied them wherever they went. The grey cat was so attentive to her human baby brothers' needs that everyone almost forgot about her original laziness. 

On the other hand, Popcorn quickly lost interest with his baby brothers because he couldn't actively play with them yet. The hyperactive cat still preferred his human cousin, Little Jun, who could chase him around their home.

At the moment, Iris was breastfeeding her eldest human son, Little Mochi, while Jin Liwei was bottle-feeding their second son, Little Matcha.

Even though the twins were only a few days old, the new parents already noticed some personality differences between the two. 

The eldest, Little Mochi, craved attention. He would become fussy and wail nonstop if he woke up without feeling anyone nearby. As a result, Ice Cream tended to stay and purr beside him.

In contrast, the second son, Little Matcha, was generally unbothered. He would only cry if he was hungry, needed a diaper change, or uncomfortable in some way. Once his needs were met, he would go to sleep or entertain himself.

Iris watched the suckling Little Mochi in her arms. She smiled and kissed her baby.

"Everyone says that Little Mochi looks like me while Little Matcha looks like you, but now that I look at Little Mochi more carefully, I think that he resembles Wei Lan more than me," she commented.

Jin Liwei glanced at his wife and their eldest human son. "Doesn't matter who our sons resemble. Even when they looked like drowned rats before, we didn't think much about it."

She chuckled. "You're right. It doesn't matter who they look like. We'll still love them no matter what. But they really looked ugly when they were just born. Even Big Brother thought the same way. I thought that everyone was just trying to be nice by praising our babies' cuteness. It turns out that they really became cute in just a few days."

"En." Jin Liwei put down the now empty tiny baby bottle and proceeded to coax Little Matcha to burp.

His movements were careful and smooth like a veteran. He was very eager in actively caring for his newborn sons. In fact, he learned the ropes faster than his wife.

Every time Iris watched him caring for their babies, she would always feel amazed by him. Their babies looked tiny and fragile whenever he cradled them with his large arms but his actions were always stable. 

She never worried about him accidentally dropping or hurting their babies.. On the contrary, she was the one worried about doing these by accident.
