Determined to Give the Babies Perfectly Shaped Heads

"Ahem~"

Lin Yi coughed awkwardly a few times. Mom was being far too direct.

Little did he know, he hadn't understood Jiang Yuehua's more tactful hint earlier.

Knowing that Mom was worried about Su Wanqing's health, Lin Yi readily agreed.

"Mom, I understand."

"Mm, if there's nothing else, let's hang up."

"Bye-bye, my sweet granddaughter and grandson."

After hanging up, Jiang Yuehua happily lay down on the sofa, unaware that a face had appeared directly above her.

"Huh? Didn't you go to the office?"

"I forgot a document. What were you saying just now about a grandson and granddaughter?"

"Don't tell me that brat Xiao Yi has gotten into trouble?" Lin Hongzhi scrutinized Jiang Yuehua.

Seeing that she couldn't wrap fire in paper, Jiang Yuehua decided to come clean.

She pulled Lin Hongzhi down onto the sofa. "Actually... Xiao Yi has children."

"Huh? He isn't married yet. How could he have children? This is outrageous."

"What does the girl say? Is she keeping the baby or not?"

"Um... they've already been born."

"What? That brat! I ought to break his legs."

Lin Hongzhi spoke fiercely. The Lin family had always upheld a respectable household tradition, so it was only natural that he was angry about something like this.

Still, he was quite happy to learn that he had become a grandfather; he just didn't show it.

"You dare? Give you an inch and you'll open a dyehouse, is that it?"

"Honey~ I was just talking. But what our son did wasn't right. What does the children's mother think? How about we make her our daughter-in-law?"

"It's a long story with our son, but I've already warned him that I won't let him through the door unless he brings our daughter-in-law home."

"My wife was right, as always. But is it a grandson or a granddaughter?"

Lin Hongzhi raised an eyebrow as he asked. As far as he was concerned, a boy or a girl was fine; he had no preference.

"Both."

"Huh? Boy-girl twins? My son takes after me. Impressive."

"Weren't you just saying you'd break his legs?"

Jiang Yuehua rolled her eyes and scolded him with a laugh.

"I was just talking. It doesn't count."

"Oh, right. Let's wait until our daughter-in-law meets her father-in-law before telling the old man that Xiao Yi has children. He's getting on in years, and I'm afraid he might faint from excitement."

"All right, we'll do as you say, honey."

Lin Hongzhi nodded. Jiang Yuehua had a point. The old man loved Lin Yi most, and he would be overjoyed to learn that he had children.

Meanwhile, in the bedroom, the two babies had tired themselves out playing and were fast asleep on the bed.

Lin Yi surrounded the little ones with pillows, then went to the bathroom door. Afraid Su Wanqing would get too cold while bathing, he thoughtfully turned on the bathroom heater.

"Honey, want me to scrub your back for you?"

"No."

"It's free."

"Scram~"

Lin Yi grinned. He hadn't expected a woman as gentle as his wife to swear.

He turned to go back to the bedroom, only to find Zhang Meilan standing behind him.

She hurriedly waved her hands. "Brother Lin, I didn't hear anything just now."

"I'll go check on the little ones."

"Uh..."

Lin Yi froze for a moment. He had forgotten there was someone else in the house. It seemed he would have to be more careful in the future.

Seeing that Su Wanqing didn't need help, Lin Yi returned to the room, where he found Zhang Meilan adjusting the little ones.

Following the principle of asking when he didn't know something, he asked, "Meilan, what are you doing?"

"Brother Lin, I'm changing the babies' sleeping positions."

"Babies' brains aren't fully developed yet, and sleeping in the same position for a long time can affect their brain development."

"Also, you shouldn't always let babies sleep flat on their backs. It can easily affect the development of their cerebellums, so it's best to let them sleep on their sides."

"Babies between one and three months old are also in the golden period for shaping their heads. Their skulls are relatively soft at this age and can still be molded to a certain extent."

"Oh."

Lin Yi nodded silently. It seemed he would have to adjust the little ones' sleeping positions often from now on. Still, he was curious, so he asked, "What happens if a baby's head isn't shaped properly?"

"Sleeping on their backs for a long time can flatten the back of their heads. Sleeping on their stomachs for a long time can make their faces long and their foreheads protrude. Sleeping on the same side for a long time can make their heads lopsided."

"Mm."

After listening to Zhang Meilan's explanation, Lin Yi knew those head shapes weren't attractive. A nice, round head was the most perfect.

Then Lin Yi smiled at the little ones. "Daddy will make sure you sleep your way to perfectly shaped heads."

Zhang Meilan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. So it was true that parents started competing with one another when their children were little.

In the bathroom, Su Wanqing felt refreshed after her shower, but then she discovered there was no bathrobe in the bathroom, not even a bath towel.

Perhaps she had forgotten to bring them because she had fled in such a hurry.

With no other choice, Su Wanqing secretly opened the door a crack and said shyly, "Hubby, could you get me a bathrobe~?"

Hearing her call, Lin Yi hurried over. "Honey, what do you need?"

"A bathrobe."

"Wait a moment. I'll get it for you."

Afraid Su Wanqing would catch cold, Lin Yi hurried to bring her the bathrobe.

Su Wanqing pulled the bathrobe through the crack in the door. Lin Yi was about to ask if she needed any more help when, the next second, he heard the door slam, followed immediately by the sound of it locking.

Lin Yi smiled wryly. His wife was guarding against him!

After putting on the bathrobe, Su Wanqing rolled up her dirty clothes and carried them into the bedroom.

When Zhang Meilan saw Su Wanqing return, she hurriedly found an excuse to leave. She had at least that much tact. She also thoughtfully closed the bedroom door behind her.

"Honey, are you cold? Should I turn on the air conditioner?"

"No, it's very warm."

Alone in the room with him, Su Wanqing answered shyly.

The droplets on her body had already dried, and she looked around but couldn't find what she was looking for.

"Um... where did you put my clothes? And the things in that little black bag?"

"I think they're still in the car. I'll go get them for you."

"You don't know how to use the washing machine, do you? I'll wash the dirty clothes for you."

Afraid Su Wanqing would catch cold while washing clothes, Lin Yi hurriedly snatched the dirty laundry from her.

Lin Yi didn't realize the clothes were rolled up. When he took them, the underwear inside tumbled onto the floor.

"Huh? Black lace? A matching set?"

When Su Wanqing saw that her underwear had fallen, she blushed, picked it up, and hid it behind her back.

Her shy reaction was because she didn't want Lin Yi to see it. Blushing, she then said, "I... can wash these myself."

"Sorry to trouble you with the dress."

"Honey, don't stand on ceremony. Whenever you need me, put me to work. We're family, so there's no need to be shy."

Lin Yi was thick-skinned, mainly because he was afraid Su Wanqing would touch cold water and her postpartum ailment would flare up again.

"Never mind. There's no need."

"If you won't let me, I won't help you get your clothes."

Lin Yi lifted his chin, looking utterly domineering. He was determined to wash that underwear today.
