Chapter 143 Two Pearls (Baby Arc 4)

Chapter 143: Two Little Pearls (Baby Extra IV)

Grandma Fu insisted that Lu Jingtang must rest well during her postpartum recovery and avoid overexertion. So, after returning home, the two babies didn't sleep with their parents at night but were cared for by a nanny.

Every night, Fu Nanyu would wait until Lu Jingtang was sound asleep before sneaking into the nursery to check on the two children.

Grandpa Fu had spent several days poring over dictionaries but still felt unsatisfied with the names he found. As a result, the two babies hadn't yet been given formal names. Instead, Lu Jingtang gave them temporary nicknames: the older one was called Shengsheng, and the younger one Tiaotiao.

Having slept well during the day, Shengsheng and Tiaotiao were fussing in the nanny's arms, refusing to sleep. When they saw Fu Nanyu enter, their big, round, grape-like eyes instantly fixed on him, staring intently as if waiting to be held.

Fu Nanyu took Shengsheng into his arms and put on a stern face, saying, "Why aren't you sleeping? Daddy will spank you."

The baby paused for a moment in his arms, perhaps sensing that her father was just playing. Unafraid, her eyes curved into crescents, and she giggled at Fu Nanyu, waving her tiny fists.

As soon as Shengsheng laughed, Tiaotiao followed suit, amusingly, with a bit of milk still clinging to the corner of her mouth.

Minor spit-up is common in infants. Fu Nanyu gently wiped their mouths with a tissue and softly coaxed them, "Alright, alright, Daddy won't tease you anymore."

After a while, it became clear that the two children were nowhere near sleepy; they were bursting with energy.

Fu Nanyu carried the babies back to his room. Lu Jingtang was fast asleep, half of her face buried under the covers. Thanks to good care during her postpartum period, her complexion was rosy and glowing with health.

He placed the two babies beside Lu Jingtang. Perhaps sensing their mother's warm presence, the previously fussy Shengsheng and Tiaotiao excitedly kicked their legs.

Fu Nanyu watched for a moment, his heart enveloped in warmth. He took out his phone and, not for the first time, took yet another similar photo.

After playing for a while, Shengsheng and Tiaotiao got bored. Fu Nanyu gave them a little milk, and they soon fell asleep beside Lu Jingtang.

The mother and her two daughters slept in identical postures—both hands resting beside their heads, one leg slightly splayed. Fortunately, the bed was large enough, or Fu Nanyu would have been pushed off.

When Shengsheng and Tiaotiao reached their one-month milestone, the Fu family held a celebration banquet, inviting only senior executives of the group and a few close friends. Though not widely publicized or overly extravagant, those who needed to understand grasped its significance.

These two infants, still in their swaddling clothes, had already been marked as potential future leaders of the group.

This came as no surprise—wearing a skirt does not mean discarding a weapon. The allure of power lies in the fact that whoever wields it becomes the rule-maker.

After Lu Jingtang completed her double-month postpartum rest, Fu Nanyu remained cautious and insisted on waiting another two months before resuming intimacy.

The two stumbled through the door, arms wrapped around each other, swaying unsteadily. Fu Nanyu lifted her by the waist onto the counter, their noses and foreheads touching—an indescribable mix of intimacy and tension.

This was Fu Nanyu's private property, and it wasn't Lu Jingtang's first time there. She remembered the expansive floor-to-ceiling window vividly.

They had left the house after dinner, pretending to take a walk without the children, only for Lu Jingtang to be led all the way here.

Perhaps it had been too long, as both seemed somewhat out of practice. The scent of peach had ripened; now she resembled a plump, juicy honey peach, exuding the fragrance unique to someone who had given life.

At the critical moment, Fu Nanyu, drenched in sweat with tense muscles and a burning gaze, chuckled hoarsely in her ear, "So eager to welcome me?"

Lu Jingtang's mind was in disarray. She kicked her legs and mumbled, "Condom... use a condom."

Fu Nanyu kissed her damp hair and whispered, "No need. I've had a vasectomy."

Hearing this, Lu Jingtang became slightly more alert. "Huh? When did you do it? Why didn't I know?"

Fu Nanyu lifted her, a dangerous smile curling at his lips. "Now's not the time to discuss this."

"Then what should we talk about?" Lu Jingtang's eyes were dazed, her body weak, before she widened her eyes in shock the next second.

She felt as if she were about to die.
