Chapter 316: Jiang Qiu and Jiang Xue

Song Qiuyu eventually fell back into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, the first thing she saw was Jiang Xiao’s handsome face, full of worry.

“Xi’er, you’re awake?”

Jiang Xiao let out a sigh of relief.

“I…”

Song Qiuyu instinctively wanted to reply, but couldn’t muster much strength.

As she spoke, she looked around and confirmed that she had been moved to a standard single room during her unconsciousness.

Then she thought of her child and tried to sit up to ask Jiang Xiao about the baby.

Immediately after, the cries of two babies and the sounds of others soothing them reached her ears one after another.

“Huh?”

Song Qiuyu looked further.

The door to the room opened, and in walked Mother Jiang and Grandma Jiang, each holding a baby.

Behind them were Jiang Yu and other members of the Jiang family who had arrived not long ago.

Song Qiuyu did not find her parents among the crowd.

Because Su Luo and Song Zhao Ye were still on their flight here.

“You’ve worked hard, child. These two little ones have already been checked; they’re both very healthy!”

Holding the baby boy, Mother Jiang walked up to her and handed him over for her to see.

“A boy and a girl—that works out perfectly; we can use all the names we thought of before!”

Hearing her mother-in-law’s words, Song Qiuyu looked at the baby boy, then at the baby girl in Grandma Jiang’s arms, and a smile curled at the corners of her mouth.

She recalled all the names they had thought of earlier, her voice still weak:

“Hmm, then, the boy should be called Jiang Qiu, and the girl Jiang Xue, right?”

Suddenly thinking of the promise of five children, she glanced at Jiang Xiao and deliberately said:

“But, are these twins considered one child or two?”

“Hmm?”

Jiang Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly.

The Jiang family all looked at Jiang Xiao in unison; Grandma Jiang, Grandpa Jiang, Mother Jiang, and Father Jiang all shot him meaningful glances.

Although these twins are two children, this only counts as the first pregnancy.

So of course it counts as one!

When it comes to children, the more the merrier—have as many as possible.

But Jiang Xiao, as if he didn’t understand, narrowed his eyes and said:

“That depends on how Xi’er thinks about it.”

The whole Jiang family was speechless.

This kid has become a henpecked husband after all.

“Then count it as two!”

Song Qiuyu held up two fingers.

“But Xi’er, on the way to the hospital, you said it only counts as one.”

Jiang Xiao deliberately put on a straight face and said.

The Jiang family suddenly felt hope again, looking at Jiang Xiao with admiration.

So this kid was setting up his wife?

They had just misunderstood him.

“At that time, I…”

Song Qiuyu thought back and suddenly felt embarrassed.

At that time, she was in so much pain; she had racked her brains to come up with those words.

Now that the pain is gone, looking back at how she was and what she said, she felt like a fearless newborn calf—she really dared to say that!

And in front of Grandma Jiang and the others!

Seeing Song Qiuyu’s reaction, the Jiang family felt confident of victory and were almost ready to hand over control of the Jiang family to him.

However, to their surprise, Jiang Xiao smiled next and said to his wife:

“Alright, I was just joking with you. Since Xi’er wants to count it as two, then count it as two!”

The Jiang family fell silent.

Jiang Xiao, however, seemed oblivious to the atmosphere. He just sat on the edge of the bed, tightly holding his wife’s hands, looking gently into her eyes, his expression turning serious, and said:

“Xi’er, you did very well.”

“Mm?”

Song Qiuyu was startled. ‘Why did it suddenly turn into praise?’

“Xi’er, you were really amazing today, really incredible!”

Jiang Xiao said more seriously.

Song Qiuyu blinked, a bit dazed.

“I love you even more than before. My wife, you are the best, the absolute best woman in the world!”

Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice.

“Uh… hehe, I know I’m great, but you don’t have to keep praising me like that.”

Song Qiuyu couldn’t take it anymore; she blushed shyly, lowered her eyes, turned her face away, and didn’t dare to look at anyone.

Seeing this, everyone watching exchanged glances and tacitly joined in immediately.

“Twins on the first try, and a natural delivery—you really are amazing!”

“Right, I think you, the pregnant woman about to give birth, were even calmer than Jiang Xiao!”

“From today on, you are the best daughter-in-law of the Jiang family!”

Song Qiuyu was completely buried in praise and was beside herself.

Jiang Xiao also picked up his phone and played a collection of blessings he had gathered from fans while waiting.

“Song and Jiang must be 999 forever! Mother and child must be safe!”

“Keep it up, Teacher Xiao Song, you’re the best!”

“Remember to show the babies’ faces after giving birth!”

“Already looking forward to seeing the teachers’ children in short videos!”

“I sacrifice my roommate’s lifetime happiness for Beauty Song, her children, and her lover’s lifelong safety!”

‘That’s a bit too much…’

Song Qiuyu coughed twice, her entire face blushing even more.

However, letting the two kids show their faces appropriately later shouldn’t be a big problem.

But the children are still so young; too much outside attention may not be a good thing…

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that her dream of becoming a great director would affect more people in the future than she could currently imagine.

Especially the balance between family and career, as well as her and Jiang Xiao’s future studies.

If possible, they also wanted to pursue master’s and doctoral degrees.

As long as they become doctors, the resources they can access will be far beyond what they can imagine now.

As ordinary people chasing the dream of becoming a great director, they still have a lot of effort to put in.

At this moment, the baby boy, or Jiang Qiu, suddenly let out a “hehehe” laugh.

Hearing this laugh, she couldn’t help but look over and saw her chubby son’s face all lit up with a smile; her eyes flickered.

‘What is this kid laughing at? Why so happy?’

Grandma Jiang also noticed, somewhat surprised: “Did this child understand what we were saying?”

“Huh?”

‘Understood?’

Song Qiuyu glanced at little Jiang Qiu, who was giggling about something, her expression slightly dazed.

‘No, no, no… no matter how you look at it, he doesn’t seem to understand, right?’

“Could this child be a genius?”

Father Jiang stroked his chin.

As he said that, he looked at little Jiang Xue, who had already been coaxed to sleep by Grandma Jiang, furrowed his brow, seeming slightly dissatisfied with this child.

“…”

Song Qiuyu’s lips moved slightly, feeling that her daughter had been branded as not very smart by Father Jiang.

She gazed at her daughter sleeping soundly and silently prayed that her brain was actually good.

Two years later.

Because of work and studies, Song Qiuyu and Jiang Xiao were busy away from home, so the two children were temporarily entrusted to Mother Jiang’s care.

Su Luo and Song Zhao Ye would also come to see the children from time to time.

Just like today.

But today, they came to an empty house…
