Chapter 318 Twin Sons
Chapter 318 Twin Sons
Lu Cheng and Lu Zhou, who were outside the door, were already sweating profusely, with cold sweat sliding down their jawlines, but they didn't even have the mind to raise their hands to wipe it away.
The two stood side by side under the veranda, their hearts completely focused on that door, even their breathing was extremely soft.
Only when I heard the child cry did my tense shoulders relax, and the weight that had been hanging over me finally lifted.
Lu Cheng almost immediately reached out to push the door open, but was stopped by Shen Li's voice coming from inside.
Because of having children.
The bed was covered in all sorts of filth.
Even Shen Li herself couldn't accept it.
Shen Li leaned weakly against the headboard and instructed Lu's mother, "Don't let them in."
Mother Lu stood up in response, walked quickly to the door, and said to the two people outside who looked anxious, "Come in after you've cleaned up inside."
Lu Cheng's voice was filled with barely concealed anxiety: "I want to see Lili, how is she?"
"We'll see later. It's Xiaoli's idea." Mother Lu's tone was gentle yet firm, blocking the two people's gaze from entering through the door.
Lu Cheng clenched his fist, but finally nodded: "Okay."
Less than a minute after the firstborn was born, the second baby also began to cry, its voice even louder than its brother's.
The doctor, holding two swaddled babies, beamed with joy: "What a blessing! They're twin boys!"
Shen Li was stunned for a moment, secretly thinking to herself: Why aren't they twins?
She had two sons, not even a daughter... Her long-cherished dream of having a daughter was dashed.
Noticing the barely concealed disappointment on her face, the doctor joked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"
Shen Li quickly composed herself and whispered, "No, I'm quite happy."
Upon hearing that it was two grandsons, and seeing Shen Li's little expression, Lu's mother immediately understood. She smiled and reassured him, "It's alright, having two sons is good too. At least when they misbehave in the future, it won't be too hard to discipline them."
The doctors and nurses nearby couldn't help but laugh; the way this family got along was truly amusing.
While weighing and measuring the children, the doctor announced, "The older brother weighs 52 pounds, and the younger brother weighs 4.8 pounds. They are both 52 centimeters tall. Both brothers have long legs, so their height will definitely be similar in the future."
"Okay, thank you, doctor." Shen Li nodded, her gaze falling on the swaddling clothes the doctor handed her.
Two nurses carefully brought the baby close to her eyes, but before she could see his face clearly, the little boy in her arms suddenly raised his little hand and accurately grabbed a strand of her hair.
"Hiss—" Shen Li gasped in pain.
The doctor chuckled and joked, "Look at this baby, he's already so attached to his mother right after he was born!"
Shen Li was both angry and amused: This little guy, he started pulling his mother's hair as soon as he was born, who knows how naughty he will be when he grows up.
Looking at the older brother next to him, he only cried once when he was born, and then he quietly curled up in his swaddling clothes, very well-behaved, which was in stark contrast to his younger brother.
Mother Lu quickly and carefully freed Shen Li's hair from the little guy's grasp. Without hair to hold onto, the little guy immediately pouted and started howling again.
"That's a really loud voice. He'll definitely be a very energetic person in the future," Lu's mother said with a smile and a hint of reproach.
Half an hour later, all the sheets and blankets in the room were changed to new ones, and Lu's mother carefully put a mattress on Shen Li's bed.
He wasn't wearing pants.
The pain of stitching up the wound came in waves. During childbirth, I was so in pain that I was delirious and didn't pay attention to this torn wound. Now that I've given birth, the excruciating pain is becoming clearer.
As soon as the door opened, Lu Cheng rushed in, squatted down beside Shen Li's bed, and held her hand tightly, his voice full of concern: "How are you? Feeling better? Is anything bothering you? Are you hungry? Thirsty?"
A barrage of questions came flooding in, and Shen Li, noticing the bloodshot in his eyes, couldn't help but chuckle: "You're asking so many questions at once, I don't even know which one to answer first."
Lu Zhou, who was on the other side, also came over, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Does it hurt a lot?"
Shen Li nodded slightly, her tone deliberately relaxed: "It's alright, it's within an acceptable range."
In fact, the pain had already exceeded her limit, but she didn't want them to worry anymore, so she could only force herself to comfort them.
The nurse, who was tidying up the miscellaneous items next to her, noticed two handsome men standing on either side of the bed. Both men had their brows furrowed and were staring anxiously at Shen Li, not even glancing at the child beside them. She couldn't help but wonder: What's going on here?
Who is the child's father?
Why are the two of them so focused on the mother, completely forgetting about the newborn?
Seeing this, Lu's mother spoke up at the opportune moment, "Nurse, are you all ready?"
The nurse snapped out of her daze and quickly nodded, "Ah...okay, okay."
As he spoke, he quickly picked up his things and left, afraid of disturbing the strange yet warm atmosphere.
Lu Erdie did not come in with him, so Lu's mother took the two children out one by one to show him.
Only Lu Cheng, Lu Zhou, and Shen Li remained in the room.
Shen Li turned to look at Lu Cheng, her fingertips gently tracing his angular face, her tone tinged with apology: "I'm sorry to have worried you during this time."
Her fingertips were gentle, and Lu Cheng grasped them in his own, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Yes, now I finally don't have to worry anymore. Let's have this one child, and not any more, okay?"
Shen Li smiled and teased him deliberately, "Don't you want a child that's entirely yours?"
"They are my children," Lu Cheng said firmly.
Lu Zhou, who was standing to the side, was displeased. He reached out and turned Shen Li's face away from Lu Cheng's, saying with a wronged expression, "Sister Li, that's my child."
Lu Cheng raised an eyebrow: "Then you'll add them to your household registration?"
Lu Zhou retorted confidently, "Aren't we on the same household registration?"
"Lili and I are the legally married couple, so naturally they are my children," Lu Cheng insisted.
Shen Li glared at the two of them helplessly and said in a low voice, "Don't argue about this in front of others. I still have my pride."
She didn't want to care about other people's opinions, but she also didn't want to be talked about because of this.
To everyone's surprise, Lu Zhou's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer, saying, "Sister Li, let's go to Hong Kong to register! They recognize one or two bedrooms there, so we can register together."
Shen Li was both angry and amused, and asked in an annoyed tone, "Who told you all this?"
"My classmates said that his relative over there married two wives. Sister Li, let's go, okay?" Lu Zhou pleaded in a slightly coquettish tone.
Shen Li turned her gaze to Lu Cheng, wanting to hear his opinion.
Lu Cheng glanced at Lu Zhou, his tone slightly reprimanding, but full of concern for Shen Li: "Li Li is weak right now, don't talk about these trivial things and upset her. We'll talk about the future later."
Lu Zhou pursed his lips and muttered under his breath, "Isn't it because you emphasized that your actions were legal that I came up with this idea?"
