Yan Rusheng and Xuxu entered the dining room and was cheerfully greeted by Mu Li . “Come and have breakfast . ”
Xuxu ambled towards the seat that she usually occupied every day .
Yan Rusheng pulled the chair for her and she bent to sit .
Looking at how tough it was for Xuxu to walk, Yan Weihong spoke up . “When is the due date?”
His eyes were sparkling with anticipation as he spoke .
Xuxu replied, “15th of next month . ”
“Less than a month to go,” quipped Yan Weihong . Although his tone sounded casual, a smile was playing around the corners of his mouth . He was eagerly anticipating the arrival of his grandchildren .
Xuxu nodded and began to drink her milk .
Mu Li turned to Yan Weihong and asked, “Have you decided on their names already?”
Yan Weihong curtly replied, “Yes . ”
“What are their names?” Mu Li inched enthusiastically towards Yan Weihong .
Yan Weihong glanced at her with a frown . “Just eat . You will know the names once they’re born . ”
“Look at how smug you are,” sneered Mu Li . She rolled her eyes and continued, “I might deny you the right to name our grandchildren . ”
There was silence .
Yan Weihong ignored her threat and glanced at Xuxu with a gentle smile . “Xuxu, I’ve taken the liberty of naming the boy . You can choose the name of the girl . ”
“It’s okay . ” Xuxu smiled and rejected his offer . “Father, you can name both of them . ”
This future grandfather had been eagerly looking forward to seeing his grandchildren . He had been researching for names ever since Xuxu became pregnant .
How could she bear to deny a grandfather’s joy and right of naming his grandchildren? It would be a huge sin .
“You do it . ” Yan Weihong sounded unyielding .
Xuxu was adamant on her decision too . “No, no . Father, please name them . ”
“In that case…” Yan Weihong blushed a little as he pressed on . “I… I have decided . ”
“Sure . ” Xuxu stifled a grin and nodded .
But Madam Mu Li wasn’t as nice as Xuxu . She snorted in contempt . “Pretentious . ”
Yan Weihong glared at her as he blushed harder . “How am I suddenly pretentious? Eat your breakfast . ”
This old couple would always bicker every morning without fail .
Mu Li was always the one to cross Second Master Yan’s boundaries .
This was the reason Xuxu had insisted on joining them for breakfast every morning in the dining room . She really enjoyed watching them bicker and arguing over trivial matters .
With them around, the atmosphere was always light-hearted .
After breakfast, Xuxu sent Yan Rusheng to the door as usual and watched as he drove off .
She leaned against the door, and was apparently lost in her thoughts .
“Xuxu… Someone is looking for you . ”
Mu Li shouted across the room .
“Okay, I’m coming,” Xuxu responded and asked, “Who is it?”
“Zhou Shuang . ” Mu Li passed the phone to Xuxu .
Xuxu’s face instantly lit up with a bright smile . She settled herself comfortably on the sofa before saying ‘Hello’ .
“Haven’t you given birth already?” Zhou Shuang’s voice still sounded energetic and lively as usual .
“Pfft . ” Xuxu chortled as she answered . “Don’t you know that my due date is next month?”
Judging from how cheerful Zhou Shuang sounded, life in Country M seemed comfortable .
“I forgot . ” Zhou Shuang added, “Days slipped past and I have no idea of the dates . ”
“Go out and take more strolls . Don’t just stay at home the entire day . You might end up as a fat ball after you’ve given birth,” advised Xuxu .
