When everybody thought about how Madam Zhou has been living it up now but how grim her future would be, they felt a sense of comfort. Everybody was stupefied when Yan Shuyu had given the boss a pair of boy and girl without warning and, to the point that, Boss Zhou, who had always been a lowkey person, would host a massive one-month banquet for them. Ten years of nothingness and then both a boy and a girl at the same time? How could one be that lucky?
The ladies that socialized with Yan Shuyu on a regular basis had mixed emotions. Yan Shuyu, naturally, had no idea about any of those. After all, whenever they were in front of her, they were as friendly as they could be. Especially during the one-month banquet, with the smiles as bright as theirs, anyone who didn’t know better would think that they were the ones who had just given birth to a pair of children.
The little prince and princess were born in deep winter and it was New Year shortly after the one-month banquet.
When Ye Hengjia and Zhou Yi were still young, their routine was the entire family visiting the capital during every summer and winter break. That way Ye Hengjia would be able to spend some time with his grandparents. This had, of course, changed after the pair of brothers attended college, as they were already attending college in the capital. Ye Hengjia could meet up with the Ye family whenever he wanted and he and Zhou Yi would return home to spend time with Yan Shuyu over the summer and winter breaks.
That way, however, Ye Hengjia would not be able to say New Year greetings to the elders. The New Year tradition was important to the Ye family and, as his great grandfather was still around, they wanted to be nice to him so they would take turns in spending New Year in the capital.
Ye Hengjia spent New Year home the previous year and was going to head to the Ye family this year. He didn’t want to part with his little brother and sister so he stayed as long as he could. Now that his siblings’ one-month banquet was over, he had no more reasons to stay. He said goodbye reluctantly to his cute little sister before he headed to the capital with his birth father.
That was right, Ye Rongchen attended the children’s one-month banquet as well. In fact, he had given them a pair of rare and precious jade lock as gifts. It was obvious that he had this prepared a long time ago.
With the exception of her immediately family, Ye Rongchen was the next person who also cared a lot about Yan Shuyu, the “high-risk” pregnant woman. The month that the twins were born, he visited her no less than five times and even drove there on the day she had given birth.
Normally the boss would not have been too pleased with him caring so much about his wife giving birth but now things had changed. The Zhou’s prince and princess, at one-month of age, looked very much like their mother between their eyes and brows but their nose and mouth looked exactly like their father. These two babies were the product of their love and Zhou Qinhe had finally moved on from the issue.
Not only did Boss Zhou, who was very pleased now that he had both sons and daughter, not mind the gift from Ye Rongchen. When he saw the little princess grabbing on the jade lock and having a lot of fun playing with it with her chubby little paw with dimples, he was genuinely pleased about Ye Rongchen’s gift.
The newly born brother and sister were so much fun that Ye Hengjia, not getting his fill even after videochatting with them every day on his cellphone, rushed home on the 4th from his grandparents before he even had the chance to say New Year greetings to the other relatives and elders.
While he was gone, Zhou Yi had already mastered the skill of feeding and changing diapers for his sister. Ye Hengjia, as the older brother, was being very petty and threw himself into learning the skills of a qualified babysitter. Unfortunately, Zhou Yi had already taken over their sister, and only limited to the time when the boss was at work – once the boss was home from work, neither one of them could get their hands on their sister.
As such, Ye Hengjia had no choice but to practice on his little brother.
