Chapter 345: Fighting over names

Pei Yuan gulped his anger and left the hospital, clenching his fists.

Serena said, “Nana. I don’t think you should do the shoot. Stay away from Pei Yuan.”

Nana frowned. “Why not should I shoot the episode? It’s just one time.”

“Yes, but I think he is…kind of into you.”

“Ah?” Nana knitted her brows in confusion. She remembered how Jinhai said the same thing in Natsukashi that day. “He knows that I am married. I was even pregnant, and just now he saw the twins too. Why would he entangle his feelings for me?”

Serena sighed. “That is my gut feeling, Nana. And you are beautiful. You are kind too. Feelings may just develop like that. Don’t even get me started how so many men have fallen for your charms.”

Was it really the case? Nana thought.

Since her pregnancy, Nana was entirely focused on it, and now, when the twins were born, she was only paying attention to the twins, especially now that they were in the incubator.

So, she wasn’t sure about Pei Yuan. At least, he seemed professional to her.

Just then, Jinhai entered the ward with Jianyu. He was wondering the silhouette he just saw outside of Pei Yuan, but he didn’t see him clearly.

Jianyu froze when he saw Serena, but he ignored her.

And soon, the Liu, Chen, and Liang families gathered in her ward too.

Liu Chunhua smiled and hugged her. “How are you now?”

“Much better.”

The grandparents happily hopped to the twins side. The twins sensed their presence, and they stared at them, gracing them with the most adorable smile.

“bluooo boo booohhjhuuu…”

“aywbbhhshsiwjsjh…”

Their baby language was incomprehensible, but their sweet voice was just too much to take. They were softly flailing their hands in the air towards them, indicating that they wanted to be held.

“Ahhh!! My heart cannot take it anymore.” Liang Xiao Dan exclaimed. “I want to hold them you too, my pumpkins, but we have to wait.” She pouted.

“Wahh..bahh…”

“Aaa baa boo…?”

The twins waited, but when nobody picked them, they black orbs teared a bit.

“Waaaah….…”

“Waaahhhhh…booo…..”

Their cute brows furrowed in protest.

Yukito and Yukira wanted to faint, seeing the twins cry. “My dear nephews, don’t cry.” They patted their heads. “We will hold and play with you all day once you are out of that incubator.”

The twins still didn’t seem to be happy and looked away.

Nana chuckled. Jinhai helplessly shook his head.

Everybody glared at Shin as if he was their mortal enemy. They were silently sending death glares towards him.

Shin raised his hands. “Hey, hey! Don’t look at me like that. I am a doctor, and their health is the first priority for me.”

They just grumbled and ignored him. “Can’t it be a little faster?”

Shin rolled his eyes.

Liu Hai grinned and poked the younger one’s cheek. He stared at him for a moment and then stuck out his tongue in response.

Liu Hai was dumbfounded.

“Showing your tongue to me, you little brat! I am your grandfather. I will disown you for the disrespect!”

Jinhai facepalmed. Liang Zou twitched his eyebrow.

The baby just blankly looked at him as if it didn’t affect him even a bit and then went on to appreciate his beautiful grandmothers and grand aunt. He giggled when he saw the ladies.

“Pffft!! Big brother, you are ignored by him. He doesn’t care. Hahaha!” Chen Liling cracked in laughter. The twins followed by giggling too after her.

Liu Hai felt utterly humiliated. “Hmph! The younger one is going to be a playboy, I guarantee! Look how he flocked on to all of you, ladies.”

Grandma Liu hit his head. “Don’t badmouth my great-grandchild. He would be a wonderful man in the future. Of course, both of them.”

She sighed. “Oh, and we are still calling them elder and younger one. What should be their names?” she was excited.

Liang Zou coughed. “I don’t mind-“

Liang Xiao Dan pouted. “Dear, can I not name them? I really want to.”

His heart melted with her pitiful expression, and he nodded as if in a trance.

Shin was exasperated. “Oof! Take your PDA somewhere else!”

“Shut up, brat!”

Liu Hai immediately protested. “Well, they carry Liu family surname, so we should do the honor.”

“Hah! Nana is my daughter. She has given birth to them. It should be us!” Liang Zou glared at him.

“And I met Nana before you! We share a deeper bond than you!”

And so the grandparents started a petty fight with each other.

Serena felt a little lonely that she couldn’t be a part of their conversation. She was surprised to see Chen Guiren standing beside her.

Ah? When did he come beside me?

She suddenly felt nervous. She gulped and didn’t know what to say.

“H-hello…” It was almost inaudible.

Chen Guiren nodded. “Hello.”

Serena stiffened with the way he normally greeted her.

Shouldn’t he hate me?

“Are you alright?” He asked.

Serena slowly nodded. “I-I am good.”

“Hm.”

There was a beat of silence.

Chen Guiren glanced at her. “Don’t give up on Jianyu. You are going the right way. You are doing the right thing. One day, he will definitely forgive you. I know it.”

Serena’s heart thudded in her chest. Her eyes stung in tears.

There was somebody who supported her in this situation. There was somebody who still didn’t hate her. Serena felt overwhelmed that it was Jianyu’s father of all people. They had only met once in Design Premier. But he was still…

She thought that Jianyu’s parents must hate her. Chen Liling surely did.

“Really? How do you know?” She softly asked.

“Because he simply loves you. That’s all. So, don’t give up.”

Serena widened her eyes.

Loves me?

She slowly nodded.

Chen Guiren smiled softly. “And I am eagerly waiting for my grandchild.”

She smiled, but it slowly laced into sorrow.

“I know what you are sad about. I will make sure that Jianyu doesn’t separate you from your child.” His voice was low but firm.

Serena stiffened. “No…Thank you that you care about me, but I…I don’t want Jianyu to fight with you. He will not like that. But I will not give up either.”

Chen Guiren paused, but he said nothing.

Liu Hai and Liang Zou were still fighting like children for naming the twins.

Grandma Liu sighed. “Okay. Please tell me that at least you have thought of the names.”

They froze. Silence.

“What? So you have been arguing this long and you don’t even have names ready with you?”

They sheepishly smiled.

Jinhai cleared his throat. “How about Liu Jian and Liu Nian?”
