Chapter 1345: Failure As A Mother
Lu Zihao made the right call in letting Grandpa Lu name both of the Lu twins because Long Tengfei was unable to come to Dragon Palace the day of the birth or even the next day.
Long Tengfei had been on a business trip abroad when his wife informed him that Long Jinjing was in labour. Even when he already cut his business trip short and rushed back home in a private jet, he still only managed to arrive three days later.
Fortunately for him, his wife Yang Jiahui and Meimei already went ahead to visit the new twins the same day that they were born.
When Long Tengfei finally met his newest grandsons, he was once again shocked to learn that his other daughter also gave birth to twins. n.o.body told him, not even his wife. They kept it a complete secret from him. At first, he was stunned before feeling extremely proud.
His two daughters were so capable! Both of them produced a set of twins each in just one shot!
Although there were no precedent of producing twins in the Long genealogy before this, it couldn"t be a coincidence that his two daughter were able to give birth to twins one after another. Iris and Long Jinjing were sisters while Jin Liwei and Lu Zihao weren"t blood-related at all despite calling each other brothers. Hence, the common factor could only come from Iris and Long Jinjing being blood sisters.
Long Tengfei felt like he could hold his head high in front of both the Jin and Lu clans for having such blessed daughters. Because of his daughters, the Jin and Lu clans no longer had to worry about producing the next generation. They were two heirs per clan in one go!
This excitement allowed Long Tengfei to ignore his disappointment for not making it in time to name one of his grandsons again. Even so, he was still satisfied with the names Sir Lu Jianhong gave to the Lu twins.
"Lu Tianyu and Lu Zhiyuan, excellent names," he commented as he held one of the twins.
His wife, Yang Jiahui, carried the other one. Neither of them had an idea which one was the eldest and which one was the youngest. Unlike the Jin twins who were fraternal, the Lu twins were completely identical.
Mysteriously though, only Lu Zihao and Iris could differentiate between the identical Lu twins at this point without having to look at the tags. Even the mother, Long Jinjing, still couldn"t differentiate her own twin babies from each other.
"How can the two of you recognize who"s who?" Long Jinjing asked, feeling amazed and frustrated at the same time.
"Of course, I know who"s who," Lu Zihao replied. "Although they"re identical twins, they still don"t look completely the same."
Iris nodded. "Little Misha has a slightly lopsided mouth while Little Dima has a...hmmm, how should I describe it? Little Dima has this same gentle aura as Big Sister Jinjing."
Everyone crowded around the twins to search for what Iris just said—Little Misha"s lopsided mouth and Little Dima"s gentle aura.
They turned their heads to the right but couldn"t see any lopsided mouth or sense any "gentle" aura. Then they turned their heads to the left but still failed.
Disappointed, they could only look at Iris and Lu Zihao in envy and awe.
What kind of monstrous vision did these two have?
Even Long Jinjing felt envious of her husband and sister. She was the mother yet she still couldn"t differentiate between her babies.
The doctor a.s.sured her, "Don"t worry, Mrs. Lu. You"ll eventually be able to differentiate your twins. Mothers will always be the one who knows their children the best."
"That"s right," Sun Jingfei interjected and patted her daughter"s hand.
Long Jinjing felt comforted. "Thanks, Doctor. You too, Mother."
After the check-up, the doctor left the delivery room which was once again transformed into a comfy bedroom. Long Jinjing was in bed while watching everyone doting on her newborn babies.
"How was Big Brother when he was accompanying you during the childbirth?" Iris asked.
Everyone p.r.i.c.ked their ears. They also wanted to know.
Long Jinjing pouted and rolled her eyes at her husband. Her expression was enough to give the others idea of what transpired.
"Did Haohao give you a hard time, Jinjing my girl?" Grandpa Lu demanded. "Tell me, I want to know!"
Lu Zihao frowned. "Nonsense. I was perfectly supportive of my wife!"
"Supportive?" Long Jinjing remembered all her grievances. "You were about to beat up the doctor and her team! I was so stressed out because of you that I was already prepared to give birth by myself!"
"What?!!!" Grandpa Lu was enraged. He smacked Lu Zihao"s back several times and scolded his stinky pinheaded grandson.
Long Jinjing: "And..and...you even called your own sons ugly!"
Lu Zihao: "Well, they are ugly."
Grandpa Lu: "Haohao!!!" (smack, smack, more smacks!!!)
Iris chuckled. "I said the same thing as soon as I saw my own twins. Newborn babies are so ugly. Right, darling?"
"En." Jin Liwei nodded.
Long Tengfei and Yang Jiahui shook their heads.
"But don"t worry, Big Sister," Iris said. "Little Misha and Little Dima will soon become cute in a few days. That"s what happened to your nephews."
"Er, t-thanks?" Long Jinjing felt helpless at her husband and sister.
She and Iris were sisters and yet her husband and her sister felt more like the real siblings. They were so similar! Both had no filter at all.
Later, everyone left except for Lu Zihao and Sun Jingfei to let Long Jinjing and the newborn twins rest more.
Long Jinjing was trying to breastfeed Little Misha—or was it Little Dima? She wasn"t sure which one.
"It"s Little Dima," Lu Zihao told her.
"Oh, thanks."
Long Jinjing tried hard. Her mother, Sun Jingfei, even a.s.sisted her.
"This.." Sun Jingfei shook her head. "There"s not enough milk."
"N-no, I"ll try again." Long Jinjing was determined to breastfeed her babies.
Unfortunately, her mother was right. She didn"t have enough milk. Her eyes watered.
"I"m such a failure as a mother," she cried.
Lu Zihao scowled. "The h.e.l.l you are! Don"t ever say that again."
"It"s just the third day and my milk has already run out!" Long Jinjing felt useless and depressed..
