Iris was pleased at her surprise for her husband. “Good job for keeping this a secret from your dad, Ketchup.”
”Ehehehe!” Ketchup laughed inside the elevator. “Thanks, Mommy! The cute and mighty Ketchup also wants to see Daddy’s surprised face. Oooooh, it’s super-duper to the highest level awesome! I’ll send a copy to Mommy. Meow~”
Finally, they reached the top floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, they saw an eager Jin Liwei waiting for them. He hugged his wife and kissed her and their babies. Then he took the baby that Dom was carrying.
The hats with face covers were removed. Iris had been carrying Little Matcha while Jin Liwei was now carrying Little Mochi.
Both babies’ eyes lit up as soon as they saw their dad. Little Mochi was particularly sticky to his father. Little Matcha also couldn’t stop staring at Jin Liwei as if making sure that his dad was real. For the twins, it felt like they hadn’t seen their father for a long time.
Jin Liwei did his best to video call home every day from work and talk to his wife and their babies this way. However, spending time together in person would always be better than anything else.
The family entered his office where the caterer already prepared food for them. Dom, Xu Tian and the others stayed in the dining area to eat their own lunch.
Little Mochi and Little Matcha sat in their own high chairs while their parents fed them puréed foods.
Jin Liwei was extremely happy while looking at his family. The food was also extra delicious today because of his wife and their babies’ presence.
”The twins have been really good today,” Iris shared. “They didn’t whine or throw a tantrum when I put on their little hats that covered their faces.”
He looked at their twins and felt proud of them. “It’s good that I had a crib, these high chairs, and other baby stuff brought to my office bedroom a while ago just in case. I didn’t expect that we’re going to use them today. Thanks for bringing our twins here, love.”
She smiled. “We miss you. I’m still on maternity leave so I can bring our family to you when you’re too busy to accompany us.”
”You and the twins should take a nap here later before you head home. I’ll find some time for a little break in the afternoon to be with you.”
”Alright, darling. Work hard but not too hard that you’ll neglect your health.”
”En.”
Iris’ heart ached for her husband’s hectic schedule. She could sense how much he missed them. She missed him, too.
He would come home very late at night. She and the twins would already be asleep by then. He would also wake up very early in the morning. Although she would try to wake up and see him off, sometimes it was too hard. She was also tired taking care of the babies’ needs whenever they woke up in the middle of the night.
Jin Liwei’s stomach was full after lunch. His heart was also full.
His only complaint was that lunch time was too short. He was tempted to delay his next meeting appointment but Iris stopped him from doing so.
”Go. The twins and I will stay here for a little longer.”
He sighed and kissed all of them. He was about to leave when Xu Tian made a report.
”Ketchup just informed me that there is a big group of paparazzi and reporters waiting outside the building. Young Madam’s arrival with the two little masters must have been leaked to the media.”
Jin Liwei frowned but Iris looked relaxed.
”I wasn’t exactly trying to hide our arrival,” she said. “It’s fine. The babies’ faces are covered anyway. And I made sure to bring a lot of bodyguards.”
Even though she made ample preparations, Jin Liwei still called for extra bodyguards from home and amped up the company’s security. He would never risk his family’s security ever. It was better to be safe than sorry.
After dawdling for a few more minutes and kissing his wife and their babies a few more times, Jin Liwei finally left his office for his next meeting with great reluctance.
Little Mochi and Little Matcha were starting to become drowsy. Iris and Dom carried them to the adjoining bedroom. They put the twins in the large crib. The nannies also went to check the bedroom’s baby supplies and added what was missing from the ones they brought.
Iris sang a lullaby and the babies quickly fell asleep.
She and Dom quietly chatted while watching over the twins.
Ring! Ring!
Iris frowned when she saw the caller ID. She went outside the bedroom into her husband’s office and picked up the call.
”Hello?”
Then she flinched at the loud sound on the other end of the line. It took her a few seconds to recognize that it was the sound of someone wailing.
