Just Graduated, the Aloof School Flower Brought the Baby to the Door?-Chapter 42 - Can I Stick to You?

Chapter 42: Can I Stick to You?

“Son, it’s only about ten days until the babies’ full-month celebration.”

“We need to prepare properly for the full-month banquet.”

“It’s best to send out invitations to relatives at least ten days in advance.”

“How are you two preparing?”

As soon as he picked up the phone, his mother bombarded him with questions like a torrential downpour.

“We haven’t prepared yet, isn’t there still half a month to go?”

Lin Yang found it both amusing and frustrating.

He had thought about it, but since there was still half a month left, he didn’t see the need to rush.

So, he had temporarily put it aside.

He didn’t expect his mom to call specifically about this.

“This kind of thing should be prepared early, not late.”

“You still have so many things to get ready, and every step takes time.”

“I checked, and July 7th happens to be an auspicious day.”

“A perfect day to hold the full-month banquet for the babies.”

As Lin Yang listened to his mom talk, he glanced at the calendar.

It was only the summer solstice.

July 7th was the “Minor Heat” in the solar calendar—still 17 days away.

“Mom, isn’t this a bit too early?”

Lin Yang felt helpless.

“What do you know?”

“Once the date is set, everything else can be arranged more smoothly.”

“This is my precious grandson and granddaughter’s full-month celebration! I have to introduce them properly to our relatives!”

At the mention of this, Lin’s mom was full of pride.

Her friends had all become grandparents already.

She had been worried, wondering when she would finally get to enjoy the same happiness.

Unexpectedly, her son delivered not just one baby, but twins—a boy and a girl!

Not just relatives, even her colleagues—she wanted to invite everyone to show off.

“Alright, I got it. I’ll take care of it in the next few days.”

“I’ll have the invitations ready by next week.”

Lin Yang had already planned to throw a full-month banquet for the babies.

It was an important tradition.

It also held special meaning for the babies.

“Then handle it as you see fit. If you have any questions, come ask me.”

His mom reminded him again and again before finally hanging up.

Just as she ended the call, his mother-in-law, Shu’s mom, called.

Seeing the caller ID, Lin Yang couldn’t help but sigh.

Sure enough, whether rich or not, no one could escape these traditions.

“Xiao Lin, the babies are almost a month old, right?”

“We have to make their full-month banquet grand and lively.”

“In my opinion, let their dad book Fenglou, and we can host the banquet for an entire week.”

Shu’s mom was even more extravagant.

Fenglou was one of the top hotels in Jiangcheng.

A single meal there could cost thousands, even tens of thousands.

Booking it for a whole week just for the babies’ full-month banquet?

That would easily cost over a million.

Even with money, this was excessive spending.

Listening to both mothers’ arrangements one after another, Lin Yang felt a headache coming on.

“Mom, we don’t need to make it so complicated.”

“Yaoyao and I prefer something simpler.”

“We will definitely hold the celebration, don’t worry. Just leave it to us.”

Lin Yang quickly reassured Shu’s mom.

Honestly, he didn’t mind how it was done.

But if his introverted wife, Shu Mengyao, had to deal with such a grand event for a whole week, she would probably break down.

He couldn’t bear to put her through that.

“Lin Yang, what were you doing?”

After hanging up, Lin Yang returned to the room and saw Shu Mengyao guiltily putting down her phone.

She quickly ran over to his side.

He glanced at the time.

As expected.

He had agreed to let Shu Mengyao use her phone for two hours a day.

Now, she had already been on it for two and a half hours.

If he hadn’t come back, she’d probably still be playing.

But he didn’t really mind.

The main reason for limiting her phone use was that too much screen time was bad for her recovery after childbirth.

A little extra time wasn’t a big deal.

“I wasn’t playing on my phone! I was being good!”

Seeing that Lin Yang didn’t say anything, Shu Mengyao felt even more guilty.

She quickly pointed to the phone lying on the play mat.

Then she raised her hands and shook them in front of him.

Showing that her hands were empty—she wasn’t holding her phone.

Watching her little antics, Lin Yang couldn’t help but laugh.

Sometimes he wondered...

Would he ever be able to get mad at her?

Who could be angry at such an adorable girl?

Just seeing her face and hearing her soft voice...

Any irritation melted away.

“I just took a call.”

“Your mom and my mom are both urging us to prepare for the full-month banquet.”

Lin Yang said with a smile.

Shu Mengyao’s expression immediately fell.

“Do we have to hold the full-month banquet?”

She looked full of reluctance.

“It has to be done, but I’ll handle it. I won’t make it too long.”

Lin Yang shook his head.

Canceling it wasn’t an option.

Both families were eagerly waiting.

They probably had already informed all the relatives.

If they suddenly canceled, his mother and mother-in-law would probably show up at their doorstep.

“Alright then...”

“Can I... stay by your side the whole time?”

Shu Mengyao looked up, her eyes sparkling.

The thought of facing so many people terrified her.

But if Lin Yang was by her side...

It didn’t seem as scary anymore.

“Of course, you’ll be by my side. Where else would you go?”

“I wouldn’t let you be anywhere else.”

Lin Yang smiled affectionately.

Hearing this, Shu Mengyao’s face brightened.

“Lin Yang, wait for me here!”

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something and ran off to the kitchen.

Lin Yang was a little curious.

But he patiently waited in the babies’ room.

“Babies, do you know what Mommy is up to?”

“You have to grow up quickly and help Daddy protect Mommy, okay?”

Sitting between his two babies, Lin Yang smiled.

Both babies were awake, staring at the ceiling.

Upon hearing his words, Yun Yun waved her little hands randomly in the air, as if responding.

Xing Xing, on the other hand, babbled excitedly.

Each had their own way of replying.

Seeing this, Lin Yang’s smile deepened.

His babies were so adorable.

Over the past half-month, their skin had lost its initial yellowish tint.

Now, they were becoming fair and chubby.

Looking at them, Lin Yang felt a deep sense of accomplishment.

These were his and Shu Mengyao’s children.

His heart was full.

After a while...

Shu Mengyao came running back from the kitchen, excitedly holding a small pink bowl.

This bowl was from the house she rented.

It had a peach design carved on it.

Lin Yang thought the peach looked just like Shu Mengyao—soft, sweet, and delicate.

With a proud expression, she handed the bowl to Lin Yang.

Inside was a freshly peeled peach.

He had bought these peaches before, knowing they were her favorite.

There were always plenty stocked at home.

Lin Yang didn’t like peach skin, so he rarely ate them.

But this time...

Shu Mengyao had carefully peeled the peach, leaving it perfectly clean.

“What do you think?”

“I just learned how from a video while you were on the phone!”
