Su Yu slowly approached Huo Mian and looked at her with his heart aching .
The first thing he asked was, “Does it still hurt?”
Huo Mian laughed and shook her head . “It doesn't hurt anymore… I thought I was going to die of pain… Back when I was a nurse intern in the OB/GYN department, the attending told us that giving birth was equivalent to breaking a dozen ribs… I thought my pain threshold was pretty high, but I still felt like I was dying…”
“Stupid girl, it's all over now…” Su Yu comforted her .
“Mhm . ”
“I am going to go see the babies in a bit… You should get some rest . ”
“Okay . ” Huo Mian smiled .
It was evident that the warm glow of motherhood radiated off her face .
Su Yu walked to the door, turned around, and looked at Huo Mian's gentle smile . “Actually, I've been secretly hoping that you would have girls . Then, there'd be two more girls just like you in the world… That's such a wonderful thing…”
Before Huo Mian could respond, Su Yu turned around and left…
After a while, Yang Meirong returned . When Mrs . Su saw her, she eagerly said, “Meirong, can you watch Mian for now? I want to go see the babies…”
“Okay, go ahead . ”
Yang Meirong wet a towel with hot water and wiped Huo Mian's face patiently .
“Mian… You finally gave birth… That's great, you don't have to suffer anymore…”
“Haha, yeah . Mom, did you hurt a lot when you had Zhixin?”
“Zhixin was fine because he wasn't my first . When I had you, I was suffering… The pain made me want to crawl into the ground…”
Huo Mian hesitated; she hadn't told her mother the truth yet . Therefore, Yang Meirong still had no idea that the first child she had wasn't Huo Mian .
But that was fine though . A white lie would suffice for now .
Otherwise, with her mother's personality, she might not be able to take it if she found out the truth .
“Did you think of a name? You can take it slow with the official names, but you need nicknames . It's easier to care for them that way…”
Yang Meirong superstitiously said…
Huo Mian thought for a bit, tilted her head, and said, “Em… Pudding and Little Bean . ”
“Pudding? Little Bean?” Yang Meirong was dumbfounded .
“Mhm, they're girls . Their names have to be cute…”
“Okay, if you like it…” After speaking, Yang Meirong pulled out her phone .
“I'm going to call Zhixin, you should video chat with him . ”
On one hand, Huo Mian happily spoke to Zhixin…
On the other hand, Mrs . Su and Su Yu stood outside the NICU, staring at a pair of baby girls through the glass window .
“Do you see them? It's them, the ones in the pink polka dots…” Mrs . Su excitedly pointed at the twins .
Su Yu leaned closer to the window and frowned . “Mom, didn't the doctor say that they were really cute?”
“Yeah, they're super cute… They're a pair of cute princesses . How great would it be if they were my grandchildren…” Mrs . Su selfishly murmured and couldn't hold back her excitement .
“But they look like monkeys… They're wrinkly with small eyes… They don't have much hair either . Are they really pretty? The doctor must have bad taste… Are they really Mian's babies? Maybe they got the twins mixed up . ”
Mrs . Su was speechless…
