754 Your Children are My Family (1/2)

Lu Zihao gave his sister a sidelong glance. ”That body may not be connected to Mother by blood but don't forget that your soul is, or spirit or memories, or whatever it is that was transferred from our former bodies into these new ones. You say that it's impossible? What's not possible after dying and being reborn into completely different people? We are still us but also not. Who's to say that you having twins has nothing to do with our bloodline in our past lives? I say that anything is possible at this point after everything both of us have experienced so far. Crazy, I know. But it's still a possibility.”

Iris grew silent and thought about her brother's speculation. To be honest, she found it insane yet also extremely fascinating. If he was correct, then it would open a whole new world of wonder. Perhaps they could even find the reason of their rebirth. She itched to study and gather concrete data about the supernatural phenomenon of their rebirth but felt helpless about how to start. If only it was that easy to investigate something so otherworldly.

All this talking and thinking made her yawn. Her eyes were starting to close but there was still one thing that she wanted to clear up with her brother.

”Big Brother?”

”Hm?”

She took a deep breath before dropping the important question. ”When are you going to accept that I'm pregnant?”

He raised an eyebrow and countered her question with another question. ”When did I say that I don't accept that you're pregnant?”

That made her drowsy eyes light up. ”You're not angry anymore?”

”I already told you, Evelinka. I'm furious—”

Her hopeful face fell.

”—but that's only natural because a naughty someone ignored her big brother's words and went ahead and got herself pregnant out of wedlock.”

”Hmph!” She rolled her eyes and turned her head away from him. She was so over his old-fashioned ways.

A devilish chuckle made her look at him again, though. When she saw him again, his face had a softer expression.

”I might still feel furious but I never said that I won't accept your children. My dear little sister, all your children are my family, including all your damn cats.”

She was already smiling before she even realized it. It was a smile that reached her eyes, making it crinkle with warmth and happiness. She even ignored the part where he said ”damn cats”. Her brain automatically filtered out the word ”damn” and replaced it with ”darling”, thereby deluding herself into believing that he said ”darling cats” instead of ”damn cats”.

”I only have one request,” he said.

With her mood improved, the smile remained on her face as she asked him with eagerness. ”What is it?”

Both his expression and tone turned grave. ”Remember your promise to let the old man name your children. I don't want the poor kids to have ridiculous names like your damn cats.”

Her happy expression turned surly in an instant. She was about to argue but was interrupted when the bedroom door opened. Jin Liwei finally returned and immediately headed to her.

”What happened?” he asked upon seeing her bad-tempered expression. Then he threw a cold glance at Lu Zihao, assuming it was the man's fault. ”Did Fifth Brother scold you?”
