Chapter 676: The Birth of a Family of Four
Boss Cutie
After being praised by them, Jiang Muye started to feel a bit embarrassed.
"We weren't going to announce it until three months had passed, but since you're all people we can trust, I'll just tell you. Heh heh, it was an accident too—never imagined it would just happen like that." Jiang Muye rubbed his nose, feeling very pleased.
"Hey, when you take your graduation photo, you'll be able to hold little Muye and take it together!" Little White Dove was practically drowning in envy.
Old He immediately corrected him: "Wrong—a family of three, all standing together for the graduation photo! That scene would be too shocking for words!"
Jiang Muye replied with a smile: "Not a family of three—a family of four. Twins."
After hearing Jiang Muye's words, the group that had just been sighing in amazement was even more astonished.
"Twins? That's really rare. Twins on the first try—you're something else, kid!" Kai was beside himself with excitement.
"Fuck, Muzi, you've racked up one hell of a grudge!" Little White Dove said in surprise.
"You're really pissing us off—too much, too much! Unless those little milk buns call us godfathers when the time comes, this debt can't be settled." Old He slapped his thigh excitedly.
"I want to be a godmother!" Jiang Xueli said excitedly.
"If you're the godmother, wouldn't the seniority get all messed up!" Mi Lu chimed in at the fun-loving Jiang Xueli.
"That's right, I'm their aunt! Don't care, I want to be a godmother, I want to be a milk bun too, wuwu~" Jiang Xueli said in a bitter refusal to accept what was happening.
"Alright, when the time comes, the kids can all acknowledge you as godfathers and godmothers, how's that." Jiang Muye shook his head with a smile.
The group was overjoyed.
"Hahaha, I'm not even married yet, and I've got two little brats who'll call me dad. So satisfying."
"Muzi can suffer all the hardship of raising kids—we get two kids for free, that's pretty good too. Think this covers our retirement?"
"I'm definitely teaching him to walk the runway. If anything, he might become a supermodel like me someday."
"I think I can have her study modeling, and later draw all those awesome anime characters for me. That'd be pretty good too!"
After hearing one fanciful idea after another, Jiang Muye was instantly at a loss.
He, the biological father, hadn't even said anything yet.
But having people who cared about them—the kids would surely be happy.
It was just that after they were born, they wouldn't escape these guys' clutches.
Hahaha, he had no way of knowing what kind of scene that would be.
After eating, drinking and making merry, Jiang Muye was a bit tired from playing. He and Leng Ruoli said goodbye to their friends, then headed home.
As soon as they got out of the car, Jiang Muye started urging: "Go to bed early, you must be tired today."
"Mm." Leng Ruoli smiled faintly.
Just as she was about to head inside, she suddenly realized something and grew very anxious: "My certificate isn't in my bag—what should I do? Did I leave it at the restaurant!"
Seeing Leng Ruoli's anxious look, Jiang Muye immediately raised his hand and rubbed her hair to soothe her: "It's fine, it's in my pocket."
His other hand pulled two little red booklets out of his pocket, and he waved them in front of Leng Ruoli.
Leng Ruoli had been anxious, but now, seeing the little red booklets, she was immediately happy.
"Thank goodness, I almost thought it was lost. It's a relief it's here." Leng Ruoli held the little red booklets to her chest as if she couldn't bear to let go, full of relief.
"It won't get lost, I'm watching it." Jiang Muye had the System, after all.
No matter where it dropped, he had a way to find it.
"Then I'll lock it in the safe when we get inside." Leng Ruoli said seriously.
Jiang Muye teased her: "Don't lock it up—how about we just burn them."
Leng Ruoli was startled: "Burn them?"
"Yeah, if we burn them, we can't get a divorce certificate, isn't that great. What, you still want to keep them so you can go get a divorce certificate?" Jiang Muye deliberately teased her.
Leng Ruoli immediately grew anxious: "I definitely can't get a divorce certificate! But the marriage certificate can't be burned either—what if we need it later? The kids need their marriage certificate for household registration, the school enrollment procedures need the marriage certificate, and settling down in the future needs it for paperwork too!"
Jiang Muye watched Leng Ruoli's nervous expression and laughed out loud: "Alright, I was just teasing you. How could I possibly burn them? Look how serious you are, as if I was really going to do it."
Leng Ruoli secretly smiled: "That's good. But I'm so happy I could get the certificate with you today."
Jiang Muye leaned down and kissed Leng Ruoli: "Me too."
The two of them kissed beneath the flowers and moon, and just as they were kissing until they couldn't pull away, a familiar voice came.
"Oh my, what are you two doing outside? It's too cold, oh my oh my, this is too... pretend I didn't say anything, you two carry on!"
The voice was obviously Mother Jiang's.
Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli immediately let go.
He saw Mother Jiang had turned her face away, clearly unable to watch.
Mother Jiang was a bit embarrassed too.
Jiang Muye smiled helplessly: "Mom, what are you doing here? Not asleep yet?"
"Today's a big day, how could I sleep? I was waiting for you two to come back! I just heard the car pulling up from upstairs—who'd have thought you two would be so affectionate!" Mother Jiang smiled, "Alright, hurry inside, it's so cold out. If you want to kiss, you can come inside to kiss."
Being teased by her mother-in-law like this, Leng Ruoli's little face grew even redder.
Jiang Muye felt a bit uncomfortable too.
Usually, kissing in front of his own parents was fine, but being caught like this—why did he feel a bit guilty?
After Jiang Muye brought Leng Ruoli inside, Mother Jiang was still grinning from ear to ear. Father Jiang was sitting on the sofa in the living room, wearing his reading glasses and reading the newspaper. Seeing Mother Jiang laugh, he asked in confusion: "What are you so happy about?"
"Nothing." Mother Jiang stifled her laughter.
Jiang Muye noticed the decorations in the room had changed. There were many paper-cut double-happiness characters on the walls, and even the engagement photos of Jiang Muye and Leng Ruoli were framed on the wall. Big red lanterns had been hung up too—it was a completely festive environment.
"Mom, Dad, did you set all this up yourselves?" Jiang Muye asked in surprise.
"That's right, it's a happy occasion after all, so it should feel a bit like a wedding room! See, doesn't it feel more festive now?" Mother Jiang said with a chuckle.
Leng Ruoli was very satisfied and said gratefully: "Thank you, Mom and Dad. Sorry for the trouble."
"No trouble at all. We were originally going to cook you a nice meal, but you wanted to eat out, so there was nothing to be done about it. Tomorrow Mom will cook you something delicious!"
Hearing Leng Ruoli call her "Mom," Mother Jiang smiled like a flower.
"Okay, Mom."
"Heh heh, say it again."
"Mom."
"Hey! Good daughter-in-law!" Mother Jiang was even happier.
Seeing the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law getting along so well, Jiang Muye relaxed.
He definitely didn't want the family relationship to become strained and hurt their feelings.
