Handsome CEO's Darling Wife Chapter 906 HAPPILY TOGETHER
Previously on Handsome CEO's Darling Wife...
Li Shen placed the locket around the child's neck, letting it rest there. "When you grow older, give it to a girl you love."
"I love my mother," Rice ball declared.
Stifling a laugh, Li Shen instructed, "Give it to a girl who isn't your mother."
After a moment of deep thought, Rice ball responded, "My sister."
"I was unaware you have a sister."
"I don't, but Daddy said we're going to have a sister. She's in Mommy's tummy."
"So, she's pregnant," Li Shen mused with a smile. "No, give it to a girl who isn't your mother or sister, but someone who will become important to you."
Rice ball gazed at him in wonder, having never witnessed him smile before. He nodded his assent. "I will." Though he couldn't fathom who could be more important than his mother or sister, he committed to keeping the locket safe.
Following the celebration, Mu Lan and the Rice balls returned to Paris. Several months later, Mu Lan welcomed twin daughters into the world. For reasons unknown, they bore a striking resemblance to Mu Lan and were christened LanYing and LiJuan. Both Li Han and Li Shan, among others, came to behold the newborns.
The four Rice balls were thrilled to have two new sisters but were perplexed as to which was which, given their identical appearances. They clustered around their sisters and their father, who was cradling them.
"Newborns are certainly unattractive. In what way do they even resemble Xiao Lan?" Xue Lin commented.
Zhuan Zhen chuckled. "Let them mature a bit; you'll notice the similarities."
Carlo mused privately, 'Perhaps I should take her as my disciple.'
Professor Ryuren announced, "Alright, everyone, it's time for lunch."
During the meal, Xue Lin remarked, "I don't comprehend. Is there something peculiar about your family, Xiao Lan?"
Mu Lan, chewing her food, inquired, "What do you mean?"
"Your father has a twin younger brother, your mother has a twin younger sister, and you've given birth to quadruplet boys and twin girls. No wonder I felt a bit overwhelmed today. The population is on a relentless rise."
Mu Lan pouted, eliciting laughter from the others. Yan Su concurred with Xue Lin. "I think you're right. A family of two blossomed into a family of eight in six years. It surely has something to do with Lan dear's family genes."
"There's no such thing," Lu Feng refuted, while feeding his daughter, Meixian.
"Does Auntie Lan do it a lot with Uncle, just like my Mommy and Daddy?" Meixian asked.
Both Mu Lan and Lu Feng flinched, while the others froze. Only Yan Su and Mu Liang appeared unfazed.
Mu Feng displayed considerable curiosity. "Little Meixian, what do you understand by 'it'?"
"Brother Feng!" Mu Lan hissed, kicking his leg beneath the table, mindful of the elders and children present.
"Ouch!" Mu Feng nearly sprang from his seat.
Meixian explained, "The exercise Mommy and Daddy do in the bedroom. I've never heard people scream while exercising before. So, I decided to do a bit of experimenting."
Yan Su proudly proclaimed, "That's my daughter."
Lu Feng coughed pointedly. "You don't need to experiment with this particular activity, Meixian."
"But why? Don't you do a lot of research, Daddy?" Meixian inquired, blinking.
Xue Lin intervened, "The only research your father engages in is related to medicine. You could try learning medicine; it requires substantial study, though."
Meixian fell silent. The last thing she desired was to study. Her passions lay in travel and photography, with reading books being her least favorite activity.
Mu Lan and Lu Feng exhaled in relief, mentally thanking Xue Lin for her timely intervention in silencing an inopportune query.
Mu Lan observed Mu Liang, who was gazing at his adorable daughters with a tender expression. His fingers gently caressed their soft, rosy cheeks. He had been captivated by the twins from the moment they were born. When they were alone, he embraced his wife, whispering his gratitude repeatedly, even shedding tears of joy. At that moment, she could only hold him, happy to have given him daughters.
A fond smile touched Mu Lan's lips as she recalled that moment, silently wishing he wouldn't forget his sons now that he had daughters.
"I'm so grateful that my nephew and nieces will be present at my engagement party and wedding ceremony. I'll make my nieces the bridesmaids," Jonah declared.
Meili pinched his arm, her face flushing with embarrassment. 'We aren't even engaged yet. How can he speak so shamelessly? Honestly!'
"Why not let the Rice balls be the groomsmen? I think it would be wonderful!" Qi Ying suggested.
Jing Sheng added, "Xiao Ying also had the Rice balls as groomsmen before. They were so happy then. I believe they'll agree to it this time as well."
Mu Lan commented, "They only gave their consent because Brother Feng pleaded with them. That's the sole reason Rice Ball Number One agreed; his brothers naturally wouldn't refuse if he asked."
Mu Feng protested, "Hey, Sister Lan Lan, please don't bring up my embarrassing past."
Mu Chen announced, "I've also decided to marry Hugo. We've been together for such a long time now; it's about time we tied the knot."
Grandpa Mu Cheng shot a glare at his third grandson, thinking, 'This incorrigible scoundrel! How dare he speak of such things in front of everyone?'
Mu Lan chirped gleefully, "Congratulations, Brother Chen! My blessings are always with you."
"Hmph! Who needs your blessings?" Mu Chen scoffed.
Noel placed a pile of peeled shrimp into Jing Sheng's bowl. Jing Sheng thanked him with a smile, while Mu Jin watched the pair with a pained expression.
Meili remarked to Jonah, "Look at them, and then look at you. Can't you peel some shrimp for me to show your affection?"
Jonah whispered into her ear, "You want me to show affection... I'll show you in bed."
Rice Ball Number Three, Laquan, who was sitting beside them, overheard the conversation. He piped up loudly, "Uncle Jonah, are you going to show your affection like Meixian's parents do in bed?"
Her younger sister, Weiwei, looked at Meili and asked with excitement, "Sister, are you going to give me a niece too soon?"
Meili wished the ground would swallow her whole; the humiliation was unbearable.
