Hearing Rick’s words, his father-in-law was pleasantly surprised.
“Um... Are you sure?”
“Dad, since they asked you, just do it.”
Xixi’s father smiled and said, “When I lived with your grandparents in the countryside, I heard people say kids are healthier if we give them down-to-earth nicknas.”
“Hahahaha. Do you want to give her a nickna like Green Flower, Winter Plum, or Little Sweet Potato, etc?” Nie Lingxuan began to make a list of down-to-earth nas.
Xixi, “...”
Rick, “...”
“Impossible. How can I give my granddaughter such vulgar nas? Xixi said the baby’s formal na is Nie Jin, then I’ll give her the nickna of Little Jin.”
“Pu... Dad, you can’t take credit for it; you stole it from the formal na.”
Laughing, Nie Lingxuan found her father very endearing.
“Sis, don’t mock Dad... I think the na is nice. What do you think, Rick?”
“Yeah. I like it, too.” Rick nodded.
So, the baby’s nas were settled.
Excited, Rick took out his cellphone to show off his daughter in his Monts. But at second thought, he was a mafia leader and it wasn’t wise of him to show off his daughter. After all, he had many enemies and must keep low-profiled to protect Xixi and their daughter.
Besides, he had only Qin Chu as his friend in WeChat Monts.
If he posted it, he’d make Qin Chu think of his own lost baby.
But Rick couldn’t suppress his excitent and called his trusted subordinates and even the cook in their ho in the States about this good news.
He told every one of them, “My daughter Nie Jin-Christine weighs more than 6 pounds. She’s adorable.”
It was probably the most morable mont in his life. He began to understand why Qin Chu, a cool and arrogant guy, would beco so amiable when he saw his twin daughters.
After his daughter was born, he felt the whole world brightened...
He couldn’t sleep after Xixi fell asleep. He was wide awake with bright eyes.
He picked up his cellphone and called Qin Chu.
Fortunately, Qin Chu was up, too. Ever after he ca back from Yunnan, his insomnia had returned.
After knowing more about the conspiracy, he just couldn’t go to sleep.
So, the two guys did a marathon talk on the phone.
At first, they only chatted about things about children. Later when Rick began to say sothing important, Qin Chu interrupted him, afraid their conversation was bugged.
He drove to the South Side Recuperation Center with beer and snacks. It was 2:30 AM.
“Are you going to drink with ?” Rick laughed.
“Of course. We’ll celebrate that you beca a father today.” Rick couldn’t see any unusual look on Qin Chu’s face.
“Fine. I’ll take your offer. Shall we drink at the rooftop?” Rick pointed at the top of the building.
“No. It’s cold out there. I’ll take you to one place.”
Rick followed Qin Chu as the latter walked familiarly from the ward area of the OB-GYN departnt to the neurological departnt building through the walkway between the two buildings. At the end of the fifth floor was a cozy-looking office.
Qin Chu stopped at the door and took out a key.
He unlocked the door and walked in while a familiar feeling rose from his heart.
Rick froze for a mont and then said with sudden understanding, “Is this... Huo Mian’s office?”
