For the following months, Ye Mingyu's na didn't even cross Su Xiaofei's mind as she was occupied with work and a number of etings. Lu Qingfeng wasn't doing any better because now that his grandfather had stepped down from their massive business empire and had handed the authority to him, more work was piling up daily.
It was a good thing that her mother, Yun Qingrong, and his grandfather occasionally offered a hand to help them look after their twins while the couple were busy at work. Su Xiaofei was glad that her mother was recovering well, and there were no signs of cancer relapse. Yun Qingrong had officially retired, leaving the managent completely to her daughter.
Su Xiaofei had just finished a conference eting and returned to her office when she found a bouquet of flowers on her table. A small smile appeared on her lips as she picked up the handwritten card that simply read: Happy birthday, dearest.
Her husband had never once forgotten about her birthday, and if anything, Lu Qingfeng was more excited to celebrate her birthday than she was. She had heard from Zhang Ling that he asked his assistant to clear his schedule for the whole day, intending to spend ti with their girls while Su Xiaofei promised to return ho early.
"President Su, the car is ready." Zhang Lan's voice took Su Xiaofei's attention.
"You and Lingling can take an early off today." She replied. "Nine and his team will take over tonight and this weekend."
anwhile, back at ho, footsteps could be heard along the side of the garden as Lu Qingfeng walked with his youngest daughter comfortably in his arms. The little girl had been restless and wasn't able to fall asleep, unlike her elder twin sister. Lu Qingfeng had decided to take her out for a mont, not wanting his other daughter to wake up from her afternoon nap.
Xiao Yue and Yanyan had recently turned one year old and the more ti passed, the more they could see the difference between the twins. The twins were fraternal, so Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei's family didn't need to wonder who was who between them.
"What's wrong Yanyan?" He murmured. "Are you feeling uncomfortable sowhere? Is your tooth bothering you again?"
Xiao Yue was the first one to start teething and it had been a nightmare seeing their daughter feeling discomfort and crying non stop because of it. A few weeks later, Yanyan followed, but this ti Lu Qingfeng and Su Xiaofei knew what to do to help their daughters to relieve the pain on their gums.
Lu Qingfeng didn't want to admit it, but he was initially hesitant and nervous to hold their daughters because despite him living three lifetis and dying in his forties in his previous life, he didn't have much firsthand experience when it cos to newborn infants.
However, he decided to educate himself in fatherhood and help his wife with child rearing. He learned how to care for their girls, feed them, change them and set them down for their sleep whenever he ca ho after work hours. Despite the work he helped with, it was still Su Xiaofei who did most of the work for their babies, making sure the two knew that they were both loved by their parents.
The sudden cooing from his daughter had his dark eyes darting down to Yanyan's eyes, which were almost the sa as his. His wife once said that their youngest was starting to look more and more like him, which Lu Qingfeng found amusing and endearing at the sa ti. anwhile, Xiao Yue's hair that was starting to curl on its ends and her sweet smile were obviously inherited from her mother.
Yanyan's hands reached out to the falling leaf the wind had carried up from the ground, wanting to catch one that was still floating mid air behind her father. Her eyes teared up when the leaf fell out of her reach until it hit the ground. Su Xiaofei's warning about their babies being at the age where they would willingly put objects into their mouths crossed his mind.
"That's not good for chewing, little one. I'll get you sothing much better than that." He said, kissing his daughter's cheek. "Mommy's coming ho soon and once your sister wakes up, I'll take you out for dinner."
The little girl imdiately ceased her crying, much to Lu Qingfeng's surprise. Don't most babies throw a fit when adults don't easily yield to their request? He supposed his daughter was able to communicate with them and could easily understand what he just said.
"Or maybe it's because I ntioned your mommy?" He chuckled, a teasing smile played on his lips. "You really do love Mommy, eh? Don't worry, little one. You're not alone. Daddy has waited for a very long ti just to be with her."
He tapped her small nose and couldn't stop himself from smiling. Their daughters' smiles and laughter were so infectious that even he found himself smiling more these days.
Lu Qingfeng had no doubt that no one would be able to believe what he just said. Their rebirth was a secret; he and Su Xiaofei decided to keep it a secret. Not that others would believe what they've lived through and experienced.
"Let's go back shall we? Mommy wouldn't be pleased if you caught a cold after being outside for too long." He said, starting to tread back to the main house.
Yanyan babbled away. Her tiny hands grabbed her father's sweatshirt and she giggled lightly. Lu Qingfeng was really glad that their family was able to overco the problem during their gestation. The twins spent several weeks in the hospital before he and Su Xiaofei could bring them ho. He didn't think he could be happier, now that their family of four was complete.
When they arrived at the nursery room, Lu Qingfeng's smile widened seeing that his wife had returned ho, cradling their eldest in her arms happily.
