Joy still shook his head in a daze, apparently not understanding what was the snow described by the old man. All he could do was turn around with a helpless expression on his face and look to Zhao Youlin for help.

Seeing that, Zhao Youlin smiled and explained, “The snow that your great-grandpa described is the kind of small flowers that floated in the sky when you met Santa Claus not long ago. That was snow.”

After hearing Zhao Youlin’s explanation, Joy understood immediately. His eyes lit up slightly and he looked at the old man with a rather expectant gaze. “Is there snow at your place, Great-Grandpa?”

“Not yet, but soon. Do you want to go with me, Joy?”

Joy nodded. He was about to say yes when he suddenly thought of something. He turned to look at Zhao Youlin and said, “Dad, Mom, are you going with me too?”

Zhao Youlin seemed to have expected that Joy would ask her this question. She wiped the corner of Joy’s mouth with tissue paper. Then, she smiled and answered, “Your dad and I have work to do here. We can’t go with you.”

When Joy heard that Zhao Youlin could not go with him, the exciting expression disappeared from his face. He reached out his hands and wrapped them tightly around Zhao Youlin’s arm before he mumbled in a low voice, “I am not going if you and Dad are not coming with me.”

The adults were a little stunned. A second later, they could not help but crack up one by one. Zhao Youlin reached out and rubbed Joy’s head. She came up with a compromise solution. “How about this? The place where my great-grandpa is going isn’t snowing yet. Dad and I will bring you there to see great-grandpa when it starts to snow there. You will be able to watch the snow and build a snowman with your great-grandpa by then.”

Joy’s face instantly brightened up again. He turned around and looked at Master Mu, seemingly asking what the old man thought about this.

Master Mu reached out and rubbed Joy’s head as well. “You can come with your dad and mom to visit me anytime.”

“Okay. When it starts snowing at your place, I will come to visit you together with mom and dad. Pinky swears.

Master Mu paused a little when he saw the kid lifting up his pinky finger to him. Then, he slowly extended his little finger as well and hooked it with his.

Looking at the harmonious atmosphere between the old man and the child, the others at the table smiled at each other in unison.

The discussion of Master Mu’s departure from the country just concluded like that for the time being.

Just as Master Mu said, the third day after Master Mu told Zhao Youlin and the others about the wedding, Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng received Su He and Ye Yan’s wedding invitation.

There was nothing too exaggerated on the red invitation card. It looked very ordinary, but if you look carefully, you would notice that the edge of the invitation was actually outlined with gold lines. In a low-key way, it was luxurious. It would allow a connoisseur to understand how important this wedding was for the two families when they saw this wedding invitation.

However, compared to this, Zhao Youlin and the others were more concerned about another thing.

Along with this invitation came absolutely jaw-dropping news.

Su He was now over five months along in her pregnancy and she could get an ultrasound scan now. Soon after the wedding date was set, Su He went to the hospital for an ultrasound scan, accompanied by her family along with the baby’s father.

Everyone was taken completely aback when the result came back. Though this time, they were not shocked, but surprised.

Su He was actually having… Twins!

“No wonder Su He’s belly looks a lot bigger than other pregnant women who are also five months along. Turns out that she is actually having twins.” An understanding expression surfaced on Zhao Youlin’s face.

“Ye Yan must be really happy, isn’t he?” Mu Tingfeng’s eyes flickered a little. The tone of his voice was quite flat, though there was obvious envy and jealousy hidden beneath the depth of his slightly flickered eyes.

Not long ago, Ye Yan was still hovering bitterly at the bottom of the hierarchy, struggling to get back to his wife and children. Ye Yan was so far behind him, yet now he not only had made up with his lover successfully, he was even having two babies coming at once, which was one more than him!

The guy, who was originally behind him, suddenly ran ahead of him without warning.?He had to admit that Ye Yan was so lucky that it made him mad.

Zhao Youlin thought so too. After hearing what Mu Tingfeng said, she pursed her lips in disdain and said, “He must be. I heard that he almost cried when he heard they were having twins.?If Su He’s belly wasn’t so big now that he could not pick her up anymore, he would have picked her up and spun her around on the spot. I wonder why that guy is so lucky. He is actually going to have twins at once. That is really…”

Mu Tingfeng’s eyes darkened a little. He was about to say something when Joy, who was playing with his toys at the side, suddenly climbed on top of the sofa and asked curiously, “Mom, what are twins?”

It turned out that when Zhao Youlin and Mu Tingfeng were talking just now, Joy actually was listening to everything they said, despite him seeming like he was concentrating on playing with his toys. He was very interested in these so-called twins just like the snow they talked about previously.

“Oh, twins means two babies.”

“Two babies?”

Zhao Youlin grunted. She took Joy into her arms and asked in a low voice, “Do you know where you came from, Joy?”

Joy thought about it for a moment and shook his head.

“You came from my belly, Joy.”

“Your belly?” Upon hearing that, Joy turned his head in an instant and studied Zhao Youlin’s belly curiously.

Zhao Youlin took Joy’s hand and put it on her stomach. “You came out from here.”

Joy hurriedly touched Zhao Youlin’s flat stomach with a look of disbelief, unable to believe that he had come out of there.

“So twins means that… It means that two babies are living inside a mother’s stomach and they will come out together.”

“Two babies are living inside your stomach!” The expression on Joy’s face had a momentary dullness.

Seeing his reaction, Zhao Youlin was worried that Joy would misunderstand. She hurriedly added, “It is another woman. Oh, that’s not right. I mean, one of your aunts is having twins. So two babies are living inside your aunt’s belly.”

Joy, however, did not seem to notice the ambiguity in Zhao Youlin’s words. He was still immersed in the surprise that his mother’s tiny belly could hold two babies like him. He did not react at all to Zhao Youlin’s explanation.

Zhao Youlin stopped talking and glanced unobtrusively at Mu Tingfeng at the other end of the sofa. Then, she asked with a smile, “Are you curious about the twin babies, Joy?”

Joy hesitated and nodded timidly.

“How about I take you to visit your aunt and her babies this weekend?”

“Yes!” Joy leaped up and responded with excitement.

Mu Tingfeng, however, duly reminded, “Aren’t we going back to Zhao Residence to see Joy’s Aunt An Yue this week?”

Zhao Youlin pondered for a moment, and her eyes glinted slightly. “I will ask Yichen to take Yueyue and visit the Su Residence with us.”

“Together with us?”
