742 Husband Wants a Kiss (1/2)
”Not that I'm aware of,” Jin Liwei said after some thinking. ”You know what? I'll ask my grandmother and mother if they know of any twins from any branch of our family tree.”
”Okay,” Iris replied.
”How about in your side of the family? Do you know of any twins? I heard that the possibility of having twins is higher if it comes from the mother's side. But if it's from both sides, then it's even higher.”
She tilted her head to the side and started combing through the memories of the original Iris Long. It wasn't an easy task because the original Iris Long wasn't particularly close to any of her relatives from both the Long and the Wei sides, making her not very knowledgeable about the specific details of her family tree.
”It's fine,” he said after seeing her difficulty in providing an answer. ”We can investigate our genealogical records another day. Besides, even if there aren't twins in our bloodlines, so what? It just means that we're destined to have twins for our children.”
She nodded. Their fight wasn't completely resolved yet until they had their discussion about her revised work schedule, but for now, all she wanted to do was stay comfortable in his embrace. He smelled so good that she didn't want to leave his arms. Her head rested on his chest while she listened to his strong and regular heartbeat.
Then she remembered the home pregnancy test kits. Curiosity once again ignited inside her. She pushed away from Jin Liwei's embrace and started examining all the different types of test kits.
”I want to use these,” she said.
He raised an eyebrow. ”But we already confirmed that you're pregnant. The hospital blood test and ultrasound are more accurate than those test kits.”
”I still want to try!”
A doting smile lifted the corners of his lips. ”Okay.”
Iris randomly chose five of the test kits and headed to the bathroom. There was still a lot left. She didn't want to spend the next half an hour peeing just to use up all the test kits the butler bought. [This novel is a contracted work with W e b n o v e l . c o m (remove spaces).

Jin Liwei waited outside the bathroom door because she didn't want him inside while she was peeing. Three minutes passed with no word from her inside. He decided to knock on the door.
”Love? Are you okay in there?”
No reply.
His heartbeat sped up. Did something happen to her inside? Did she faint again? Oh no! As soon as the thought entered his mind, his body automatically moved and opened the door with a bang.
”Xiulan!”
She was startled at his sudden entrance but soon became amused and also touched upon seeing his panicked expression. ”I'm fine. Don't always think of the worst-case scenario or your hair will turn white very soon.”
He responded with a grunt and looked around to make sure that she was indeed safe. Then he noticed the pregnancy test kits. ”You're still not done yet?”
”I can't pee,” she said in a sheepish tone. ”I was going to ask you to get me some drinking water but then you suddenly barged in here.”
