The two little ones didn’t have much strength in their small hands, but they held each other tightly. Their eyes were closed, and their tiny chests gently rose and fell. They were quiet, but warm, as if nothing could separate them.

  Gu Jinglian pushed the door open and walked in. He walked over to the incubator. Inside, the two little ones lay quietly with their eyes closed. It was hard to imagine that only a day ago, they had been quietly curled up in Chu He’s womb. Now, he was seeing them face to face.

  Gu Jinglian looked at them, his expression tender, and the love in his eyes endless and unfathomable. He was deeply contemplative about how he could present the beauty of the world to them. He stood in the nursery for a long time, reluctant to leave. He also had a new understanding of the definition of a father.

  In the past, when Baby Chu appeared in his life, the child seemed to have appeared out of thin air. He had not even experienced the process of waiting and companionship. It was as if that child descended from the heavens. Therefore, he had never thought too deeply about the concept of a father.

  However, with these two children, things were different. He had been by Che He’s side from the beginning of her pregnancy, he was even able to recall every detail throughout it. From anticipation, to the soul-stirring wait, to the two little guys “coming out of nowhere”, one could say that he had experienced the sweetness and bitterness of it all. But more than that, there was much joy.

  He finally understood what a father was, and he had a deeper understanding of the concept of paternal love. He stood there for a long, long time before reluctantly leaving.

  Fortunately, the two little guys played their part and soon the whole family was reunited.

  Two days later, the nurse carried the two little fellows into the room. She said that their vital signs had stabilized, so she brought them over to reunite with their mother.

  The ward was a luxurious ward, so there was a special nursery. The hospital even provided milk powder and milk bottles, as well as all kinds of products needed for the babies. This saved Butler Fu the trouble of making last-minute purchases. After all, the birth had been so sudden that no one had been prepared for it. Gu Jinglian was even prepared to lose them at one point.

  Unexpectedly, mother and babies were all safe. This was a surprise bonus! A blessing in disguise!

  When Chu He saw the baby coming, she immediately struggled to sit up to carry them. However, Gu Jinglian was worried about the wound from her C-section and could not bear to let her carry them. Hence, he and Butler Fu each carried a baby and sat by the bed, so that she could “examine” them.

  Chu He was greatly amused to see Gu Jinglian’s cautious manner. “That’s such an exaggeration. The stitches will be able to come off in a bit.”


  “Still, we can’t be careless.” Butler Fu smiled. “It’s rare that Old Master is so attentive. To think that he remembers that you have a wound on your belly. Even I had almost forgotten.”


  Chu He smiled. “Haha. So I should be so grateful?”


  She did not care to say more, but hurriedly turned to check on the two babies. Their vernix had come off and their faces had regained a healthy complexion. They were fair and tender, a trait they had inherited from Gu Jinglian.

  Gu Jinglian’s skin was very fair, more so than hers. Even Chu He was jealous for a moment, that the man had such delicate complexion!

  However, it was fortunate that he had such good skin so that the little ones could inherit it.
