The next morning, people rushed to the hospital wing after breakfast. Nobody blocked them this time. Thank goodness!
The delivery room had been transformed into a large comfy bedroom overnight (with all the necessary state-of-the art medical equipment, of course).
When Grandpa Lu and the others entered, they saw Iris in bed cradling a tiny infant in her arms. She was radiating joy, gentleness and motherly aura. She greeted them with a bright and beautiful smile.
"Eh, would you look at that?" Grandpa Lu adjusted his booming voice to avoid startling the baby.
He was the first one to take the baby from Iris and carefully carry the little one in his arms.
"Hello there, little lad," Grandpa Lu cooed. "I'm your Great-Grandpa Lu. Look at these tiny hands and feet! Those little eyes, nose and mouth! You are the cutest baby that this old man has ever seen in my long life! Aren't I right, Sister Zhiruo?"
Grandma Li peeked at the small bundle of joy. "You're right, Brother Jianhong. Indeed, our great-grandson is the cutest."
Huang Yuyan squeezed closer. Her eyes immediately watered as soon as she saw her grandson. "So cute."
The others crowded around the baby. Each of them were fighting to be the next one to hold the little one.
"Where's Brother-in-Law Liwei?" Long Jinjing asked.
"With our other son," Iris whispered.
Long Jinjing nodded and clamped her mouth shut while looking nervously at the others. She sighed of relief when nobody noticed their conversation. The others were too busy doting on the baby.
"How are you feeling?" Lu Zihao asked Iris next.
"Like something many times bigger than my husband's penis crawled out of my vagina."
Long Jinjing turned red while Lu Zihao scowled at his overly straightforward sister.
Iris shrugged. "Well, it's true." Then she sighed and decided to tell the truth. "It was the worst pain that I've ever experienced. But I survived."
Long Jinjing shuddered and subconsciously touched her swollen belly. Lu Zihao hugged her. She immediately felt better in his embrace.
"I'm glad that you're fine," he told Iris.
"Yes, I'm also glad that you're fine, little sister," Long Jinjing said as well.
"Thanks, Big Brother and Big Sister."
Long Jinjing peeked at the baby being carried by Huang Yuyan this time. [Read official chapters on W e b n o v e l (dot) com. Please stop supporting piracy. Also follow author on Instagram: @arriacross]
"The baby looks like you, little sister," she commented.
Iris only smiled but didn't reply.
"Which part of that ugly thing looks like my sister?" Lu Zihao asked.
As soon as he finished speaking, someone hit him hard in the back a few times.
"You stinky boy! How dare you call your adorable nephew an ugly thing?! Did your brain become filled with nothing but poop? Tell me, I want to know!!! See how this old man smack you until you learn your bloody lesson!!!"
Iris stopped mid-nod. Actually, she agreed with her brother but it seemed that the others didn't think the same way. All she could hear around her was nonstop praises about how cute and adorable her baby looked.
Even Long Jinjing looked offended at what Lu Zihao said just now. She even apologized to Iris on his behalf.
"Alright, that's enough," Grandma Li said. "Don't be so loud, Brother Jianhong, or you'll scare our great-grandson."
"Hmph!" Grandpa Lu gave Lu Zihao another smack before returning to coo at the new love of his life, his great-grandson.
Finally, Jin Liwei arrived.
