Qin Mei touched his future nephew and niece through Ruan Ruan's clothes, excitedly rambling on, "Will they move inside? Do they know that I'm touching them? Have you thought of their names? Should I have a chance to name them?"
Qin Anguo stood by and jokingly scolded, "Look at how pathetic you are!"
Qin Mei ignored his father's words. He didn't need to turn around to know that his father was definitely looking at him with envy in his eyes.
He touched Qin Ruan's small belly, his heart melting.
His actions were careful and uneasy, even though Qin Ruan didn't have any emotions, she couldn't help but feel nervous because of him.
She looked away and answered her second brother's previous question, teasingly saying, "They are still small and won't move too much inside. They won't sense that you're touching them. We haven't considered the names yet, but as long as Second Brother can come up with nice-sounding names, I don't mind giving you the chance to name them."
Qin Mei looked up, his eyes shining, and exclaimed, "You must leave me a chance to name them. I will make use of everything I have learned in my life. I will definitely come up with a grand and awe-inspiring name!"
"Cough, cough!"
Qin Anguo coughed repeatedly to show his presence.
Qin Mei turned around and provocatively said, "Dad, are you feeling unwell? Since you're not feeling well, you should go upstairs and rest. That way, we won't worry about you."
Qin Anguo gave him a cold glance and said in a deep voice, "You brat, are you looking for a fight?"
Qin Mei shamelessly retorted, "I think you're just jealous of me!"
Qin Anguo shifted his gaze away from him and stared at his daughter with longing eyes. "This brat can come up with any good names? I am the children's grandfather, it's my duty to name them."
Qin Mei couldn't stand it anymore and said, "Dad, you're taking advantage of the situation. Little sister clearly said that I should name the children!"
Qin Anguo sneered, "Kid, I'm still here. When is it your turn? You're just the children's uncle, I am their grandfather."
Qin Mei protested with a determined look, "No, I must be the one to name the children!"
"You think you can just decide?"
"Yes! I've already decided!"
Qin Anguo and Qin Mei faced each other coldly, ready to fight for a name.
Qin Ruan sat aside, holding a cup of tea, smiling as she watched her father and second brother.
These two were not fighting, they were clearly competing for the children's nickname.
As for the children's formal names, it would ultimately be decided by the elders. Whether the Qin family could give the children formal names would depend on whether the Hou family agreed.
The nickname didn't matter much since it wouldn't be recorded in the family genealogy.
Speaking of which, Qin Ruan hadn't really considered the children's names.
In her previous life, the children's names were chosen by Hou Yunjiao.
Huo Yao, their son, died in the womb before he was even five months old.
Hou Yunjiao named the child Yao, and Qin Ruan could understand the profound meaning behind it.
"What are you talking about?" A gentle and pleasant voice mixed with laughter came.
Qin Anguo, Qin Mei, and Qin Ruan turned around.
Qin Jingcen, dressed in formal attire and adjusting his tie, walked towards them with a leisurely pace.
"Big Brother!" Qin Ruan turned her head and called out to him.
Qin Jingcen walked up to Qin Ruan and gently touched her head. "It's been a while since I came back. Are you going back today?"
"Not sure yet."
"Stay for dinner tonight. It's been a while since I saw you, and the house has been quite empty."
Qin Ruan nodded. "Okay!"
Qin Anguo and his son Qin Mei stopped their squabble.
Seeing his father's slightly annoyed expression, Qin Jingcen glanced at Qin Mei and asked in a gentle voice, "I heard you were discussing what to name the children. What's going on?"
Qin Mei, being quick-witted, told his older brother about Ruan Ruan's twin pregnancy news and the matter of letting him name the children.
When Qin Jingcen heard that his sister was pregnant with twins, he was also very excited.
He lowered his gaze and stared at Qin Ruan's slightly protruding belly, revealing a sense of regret and sigh.
Qin Mei, being straightforward, asked, "Big Brother, what's with that expression on your face?"
Qin Jingcen raised his eyes and looked at Qin Ruan's puzzled expression. He sighed and said, "If Little Sister hadn't married Third Young Master Hou the children in her belly should have had the Qin surname."
"That's right!" Qin Mei suddenly realized, "When the time comes, we will have the final say in naming the children!"
Qin Jingcen chuckled lightly, "Not just naming, from now on, when you come home, you'll have two little darlings following you around, calling you uncle and wanting to be hugged and kissed. You'll hold them in your arms, feeling their softness and fragrance."
Qin Mei started to imagine two little chubby babies circling around him at his big brother's description.
The feeling was indescribable and really touched Qin's second son's heart.
Qin Anguo was also moved by his sons' words. He cautiously asked Qin Ruan, "Ruan Ruan, do you think there's a possibility between you and Third Young Master Hou..."
Qin Ruan quickly waved her hand, interrupting him, "Dad, that possibility doesn't exist, and it can't happen. I married Third Young Master not because I like him so much, but because I want him to give me and the children a complete home. Whether the children are in the Huo family or the Qin family, they are still my children. I want them to be like any other children, to enjoy a mother's love and not lack a father's love."
Qin Anguo looked disappointed, muttering to himself, "I couldn't even keep an eye on my only daughter, and she was taken away just like that, straight into the arms of Third Young Master Hou."
His tone was filled with regret and heartache, a reflection of his reluctance to let go of his daughter and grandchildren.
Qin Mei grinned, "Dad, that's not true. If it weren't for Third Young Master, Ruan Ruan wouldn't be carrying two little ones in her belly."
As soon as these words were spoken, it seemed like bad luck was touched upon.
Qin Anguo remembered how his daughter had been manipulated by Han Xian and Han Kexin, and had inadvertently become entangled with Third Young Master. His heart started to ache.
He glared at his second son with cold eyes. "You, go inside!"
"Tsk, look at your temper. Why won't you let people speak?"
Qin Mei didn't hold a grudge against his father and obediently sat back next to Qin Ruan, occasionally stealing glances at her belly.
Qin Ruan gently reassured the disappointed Qin Anguo, "Dad, I'm doing well in the Hou family. You don't need to worry about me."
"I just can't bear to see you like this." Qin Anguo lowered his gaze, staring at his daughter's belly, and added, "I can't bear not to see the child either."
Qin Ruan smiled and said, "I will come back often in the future, and after the child is born, I will bring them to visit you regularly."
The child in her belly was the fourth-generation great-grandchild of the Hou family. Once born, they would be cherished by the Hou family.
He frowned and asked, "Won't the Hou family have any objections?"
Qin Ruan naturally replied, "I will take the children to visit their maternal grandfather. What objections could the Hou family have?"
Qin Anguo spoke slowly and with deep meaning, "After all, the Hou family is a renowned and influential family. There are many unwritten rules in big families. We shouldn't provoke unnecessary trouble and should understand the art of survival."
Qin Ruan nodded gently and agreed, "I understand, don't worry."
As for what she truly thought in her heart, no one knew.
