Chapter 598 Lu Xiyu and Lu Xiangyi (2)
Su Jian’an had met Lu Boyan when she was 10 years old.
Lu Boyan and Tang Yulan lived in her grandmother’s old house back then.
Generally, what happened more than a decade ago would be forgotten unless it had left a deep impression on people.
However, the old days when she had stayed with Lu Boyan were still vivid in Su Jian’an’s mind, as if every minute with him had been engraved on her mind.
The name of her grandmother’s old house was also fresh in her memory.
It was called the West Window.
Neither did she know why her grandmother had named the house the “west window”, nor she have the chance to ask her mother about it.
However, Lu Boyan had met her in that house. It was the beginning of their love story.
Therefore, a baby named Lu Xiyu (Xi meant “west” while yu meant “meet”), who was created from their love, finally came into the world.
Su Jian’an looked up into Lu Boyan’s eyes, beaming at him.
She wanted to tell Lu Boyan that she knew why he had named the baby boy Xiyu.
Tang Yulan found that Su Jian’an was happy about the babies’ names, so she asked, “It’s settled, right?”
“Yeah!” Su Jian’an nodded in approval. “They’re nice names. It’s settled then!”
Everyone in the room was happy. At that moment, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the room. She looked embarra.s.sed as she said, “Mr. Lu, you may have to go outside to deal with something.”
Lu Boyan frowned. “The press?”
“Yes!” The nurse nodded in horror. “Almost all the mainstream media and non-traditional outlets have come and crowded the lobby of the outpatient department. We don’t dare to tell them anything. Could you please deal with what is going on there?”
Su Yicheng thought that Lu Boyan would call Shen Yuechuan and ask him to deal with the media.
Because Lu Boyan disliked talking in front of the media—even the media knew that.
Unexpectedly, without even thinking about it, Lu Boyan turned to Su Jian’an and said, “Wait for me for a moment. I’ll be back soon.”
“Mm,” Su Jian’an replied in surprise and watched Lu Boyan leave with the nurse.
Su Yicheng smiled. “Boyan has changed.”
“It’s normal.” Su Jian’an compressed her lips. “He’s already a father of two kids.”
Tang Yulan asked, “Yicheng, are you planning to be a father too?”
Su Yicheng glanced at Luo Xiaoxi and answered ambiguously, “I’m ready.”
“Ahem.” Luo Xiaoxi simply took a sip of water as if she hadn’t heard anything.
At that moment, Lu Boyan reached the lobby of the outpatient department.
It really surprised the reporters that Lu Boyan showed up for the interview about his private life.
It meant that being a father was of great significance to Lu Boyan.
A group of reporters pounced on Lu Boyan. If it were not for the security guards surrounding him hand in hand and his height advantage, he would have been blocked beneath various microphones.
“Mr. Lu, we learned that you’ve become a father, right?”
Lu Boyan smiled and said without hesitation, “Yes.”
Lu Boyan always had a frosty look when facing the shareholders of his company, not to mention the press. Therefore, it had been circulated among the reporters that Lu Boyan only smiled for Su Jian’an.
Being reporters wasn’t a career in vain because they saw Lu Boyan smile to them just now.
The reporters became much more relaxed. “Mr. Lu, could you please tell us whether your baby is a boy or a girl?”
Lu Boyan said, “Doesn’t matter, it’s all the same to me.”
His words incited curiosity among the reporters. “Then, is it a boy or a girl?”
Lu Boyan thought for a moment and gave a brighter smile. “A boy and a girl.”
A boy and a girl. He meant that Su Jian’an had given birth to a pigeon pair!
A buzz of excitement ran amongst the reporters. They congratulated Lu Boyan immediately.
Finally, a reporter asked, “Mr. Lu, may I have the photos of the two babies? You and Mrs. Lu are both amazing. We’re very curious about how your kids look like.”
“I’m sorry.” Lu Boyan said, “For their safety, I will not publicize their photos until they’re able to protect themselves.”
The reporters were disappointed. However, it was within their expectations that he would disappoint them.
After a few more questions, Lu Boyan checked the time and returned to the suite.
Shen Yuechuan and Xiao Yunyun were on their way to the hospital.
Shen Yuechuan was working overtime in the company when he received a call from his a.s.sistant. He was told that Su Jian’an had been taken to the operating room. However, he wasn’t worried at all. He left for the hospital after finishing his work.
He wondered, “Do the twins look more like Lu Boyan or Su Jian’an?”
When he reached the hospital, he saw that the reporters were gathering for red packets.
Shen Yuechuan had dealt with the media on behalf of Lu Boyan for many years, so he was familiar with the reporters. They greeted him, and he waved at them as he asked, “What did you get?”
“Boss Lu told us all that we want to know. The pity is that he didn’t give us the babies’ photos.” A reporter said, “It will take the Internet by storm once the photos are published.”
“The photos?” Shen Yuechuan thought for half a second. “Perish the thought. It’s useless. By the way, what did Boss Lu say just now?”
A reporter thought for a while and repeated what Lu Boyan had said. “Boss Lu told us that he will never make public the kids’ photos until they’re able to protect themselves.”
“Oh, do you know Boss Lu’s hidden meaning? Even if you get photos of the two babies in the future, you can’t make them public either.”
Shen Yuechuan explained to the reporters with a smile.
Then it dawned on them, and several reporters sighed with disappointment.
“But I can tell you something else!” Shen Yuechuan said with a mysterious tone. After a while, he said, “When Jian’an waited for parturition at home, she donated a lot of money to support elementary education in the remote areas. You may dig into it. The report about this and Boss Lu becoming a father will also make headlines.”
Lu Boyan and Su Jian’an had never made their private life public. It would take the media a long time and energy even if they could find some big news. Realizing that Shen Yuechuan knew a lot about the whole story, the reporters immediately surrounded him. They also began to flatter him,
“Special a.s.sistant Shen, you look sharp today! I’ve never seen a man that has such wonderful taste in clothing as you!”
“Special a.s.sistant Shen, you’re a handsome man with taste!”
Shen Yuechuan knew well about the reporters’ tricks. He waved his hand and said, “Give up on me. I won’t tell you anything more.” With that said, he took a red packet from Uncle Qian and opened it. There was a small stack of one-hundred-yuan bills that was enough for a person to enjoy a big meal at a five-star hotel.
He patted Uncle Qian on the shoulder. “Uncle, thank you.”
Uncle Qian was there to give all the reporters and photographers present a red packet according to Tang Yulan’s order. Shen Yuechuan wasn’t on the list at all.
However, Uncle Qian could only wave his hand helplessly. “Go and see the babies.”
Shen Yuechuan put the red packet into his pocket and left the outpatient department. He ran into Xiao Yunyun who was walking toward the OB/GYN building.
Xiao Yunyun had received the news when she was still at work. However, she was too busy to ask for leave, so she held back her excitement. She hastened to the hospital as soon as she got off work.
Xiao Yunyun wasn’t surprised to see Shen Yuechuan. She even joked, “Just now I heard a lot of reporters flattering you. Did you threaten them?”
Shen Yuechuan laughed. “They were just telling the truth. Why did you say that?”
“…” Xiao Yunyun rolled her eyes and looked up at the sky as if she hadn’t heard anything.
The two reached the OB/GYN soon. Somehow, they felt that the whole building, especially Su Jian’an’s suite, was full of joy.
The two little babies were lying next to each other by Su Jian’an’s side while the others kept teasing them by the bed.
Xiao Yunyun walked over. Her eyes lit up as soon as she saw the babies. “They’re so cute!”
The two infants were good-looking with delicate facial features. The rosy lips under their tiny noses looked so tender that everyone wanted to kiss them.
Luo Xiaoxi smiled. “Their parents both look gorgeous. It’s hard for them not to be beautiful.”
“You said it.” Xiao Yunyun gazed at the two babies and suddenly asked, “By the way, who’s the older baby?”
“Who do you think is the older one?” Luo Xiaoxi said with a mysterious tone, “Jian’an guessed it by telepathy. You may have a try too.”
Xiao Yunyun chuckled as she looked closer at the babies. “I can do that without telepathy.”
Both Luo Xiaoxi and Shen Yuechuan were confused. “How?”
Xiao Yunyun pointed at the towels on the infants. “The baby boy is in a light blue towel, and the baby girl is in a pink one. My cousin must have guessed it in the same way.”
Luo Xiaoxi felt awkward. She looked at Su Jian’an and asked, “Is that so?”
“Yes.” Su Jian’an smiled. “Did you think it was really because of telepathy?”
Although Luo Xiaoxi had said it before, she still repeated the sentence to Su Jian’an, “It’s said that a woman will be stupid for three years after she gives birth. But that’s not you.” Then she said to Lu Boyan, “You have suffered a lot.”
She thought that Lu Boyan must have had a hard time since his wife was too smart to be cheated!
Lu Boyan raised his eyebrow and said calmly, “That’s not true. I would be suffering if I got a stupid wife.”
“…” Luo Xiaoxi pondered for a while and found that she had never heard others express their love for their wives like that. She felt that Lu Boyan was doing great.
Xiao Yunyun’s eyes were glued to the two babies. The more she looked at them, the more she loved them. She touched their little faces and asked, “What are their names?”
“Xiangyi and Xiyu,” Lu Boyan said in a gentle voice and felt his heart soften as if two lovable hands were petting his heart.
It was beyond expression.
Xiao Yunyun blurted out with a smile, “Nice names! If I have a baby in the future, I’ll also name the baby like that!”
