The more Chu He looked at them, the more they grew on her.
Butler Fu egged her on, âGuess which oneâs the boy and which oneâs the girl??
Chu He chided, âHow can I tell?â
âTake a guess! Itâs fine if youâre wrong!!â
Only then did Chu He seriously examine the twins. The one in Gu Jinglianâs arms had big eyes and a high, pointed nose, just like him! Chu He was a little surprised. Most newborns had flat nose bridges. However, this childâs was different. She could already see the outline of the nose, and the childâs thin lips resembled her own.
Her eyes were beautiful. They were slightly open. Even though her long eyelashes were drawn down, one could vaguely see that her glistening eyes were bright and compelling.
Like his.
When she noticed how Gu Jinglian held the child like it was a precious treasure that he couldnât let go of, she concluded, âThis must be the girl!â
They were a pair of dragon and phoenix twins, the older brother was born first. The younger sister was ten minutes late.
Gu Jinglian was surprised. âHow can you tell?â
The two babies did not look very similar because they were fraternal twins, their faces were quite different.
Chu He said, âI can tell by how lovingly youâre holding her, so I guessed this must be the girl.â
Everyone knew that Gu Jinglian doted on the little princess more. So, indeed, Chu He had guessed correctly. The man smiled and tightened his grip on the baby girl.
Chu He said, âLook at how much she resembles you. So yes, I can see that without you telling me!â
Chu He turned back to the baby boy, who was sleeping comfortably in Butler Fuâs arms. He was sucking on a pacifier, and there was a trace of drool on his lips. He was sleeping so peacefully.
The baby boyâs profile was quite like hers!n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Chu He had a sort of handsomeness that was not typical of a woman. She had beautiful almond-shaped, deep-set eyes. Although the bridge of the baby boyâs nose was not as obvious as his sisterâs, one could imagine that when he grew up, he would have a high nose bridge like her. In addition, his jawline was like Gu Jinglianâs, arrogant and angular.
These two kids were really something. They had inherited the best parts of their parentsâ looks!
Holding the baby, Butler Fu suddenly said, âYou havenât decided on the babyâs name, have you?â
âUh huh.â
âThen, what about pet names?â
Chu He said proudly, âIâve decided on their pet names! See, Iâve been thinking about these.â
Gu Jinglian glanced at her. âWhen did you decide on these? Doing that behind my back!â
âDo I need to do that behind your back?!â Chu He snapped, âYou spend all your time reading. Whenever I asked you to think of a name, youâd say wait for the babies to be born.â
However, Gu Jinglian said, âIn the Gu family, thereâs an order to names. Gu familyâs children have to be named according to the character chart.â
When it came to Gu Jinglianâs generation, the character in his name was taken from a particular poem. Only the direct descendants could use the character âJingâ.
As for Gu Xingze, he was the child of a concubine after all, so although from the same generation, he could not use the character âJing.â When it came to Baby Chuâs generation, they used the character âChengâ. This was from a pre-determined set of four characters allocated for that generation. Each generation may choose one of the four characters in no particular order.
However, for the twins now, they had to come up with a new poem.
