Chapter 373 Not Ugly. I Like It.

Xie Qinglan was a very perceptive person.

He raised his eyelids slightly and asked his uncle calmly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Qinglan didn't care what the name was; he didn't have time to think about it. Huo Huaisui was too lazy to think about it either. Yu Ran from the Huo family, being a science student, couldn't come up with any good names. Huo Xiao could only come up with rustic names like "Baby" and "Beibei." In the end, the two of them simply handed over the task of naming the child to Ji Xueru and Xie Chaolang.

These days, his parents have been flipping through dictionaries every day, but they still haven't come up with a name, and they've had quite a few arguments.

Ji Xuesong: "What do you think about the little girl taking your mother's surname?"

Xie Qinglan never expected that his uncle had this idea.

Taking his mother's surname is the same as taking his uncle's surname.

Xie Qinglan: "I don't care, you'll have to ask Sui Sui."

A surname doesn't change anything. No matter whose surname a child takes, they are still his flesh and blood. It's fine if both children take the mother's surname.

However, no matter what, the child was born to his wife, so his wife's consent is required.

Ji Xuesong: "Then go back and ask."

Considering that her uncle had given her plenty of pocket money, Xie Qinglan went back and asked him about it.

Huo Huaisui was watching a TV series when he heard this, and waved his hand dismissively, "Whatever. You decide."

Pregnant with twins is too tiring. The two little ones are either fighting or hitting her in her belly all day long. Right now, all she wants to do is "unload" and doesn't want to care about anything else.

She has her brother, so they don't need her to carry on the family line. No matter what her surname is, she'll still have to call her "Mom" in the end.

Besides, it's just a surname, not an adoption or giving the child away. Xie Qinglan's uncle's billions of assets will all go to Xie Qinglan in the future. Xie Qinglan is a freeloader, so there's nothing wrong with letting the child take his uncle's surname.

Seeing that his daughter-in-law agreed, Xie Qinglan called her parents.

"What good is a good meaning? Who cares what the meaning of your name is? In my opinion, these are the names I came up with; they're easy to pronounce..." Ji Xueru was arguing with her husband when she remembered she had answered a call from her son. "Hey Lanlan, what's up?"

"It's nothing," Xie Qinglan said. "You and Dad, stop arguing. Sui Sui and I have discussed it. The boy will take Dad's surname, and the girl will take yours. You two can each have your own surname. Sui Sui and I will take care of the baby until the baby is a month old. After that, you and Dad will take care of the baby at night. If you two have no objections, then it's decided."

Ji Xueru: "?"

No, does this mean that the couple will have to work night shifts when their baby turns one month old?

They're both over a hundred years old combined, and this bastard son really knows how to torment these old bones!

But about letting the girl take her surname...

Ji Xueru hung up the phone immediately and turned to discuss the matter with her husband.

Xie Qinglan didn't mind. She let Huo Huaisui put her legs on her knees, massaged her legs with one hand, and continued to look at baby stuff on her phone with the other.

As Ji Xueru had said before, the late stages of pregnancy with twins are very difficult, and Huo Huaisui also experienced the hardships.

Although moderate exercise can help with a smooth delivery, Huo Huaisui felt heavy and rarely moved, adopting a "laid-back" attitude.

Twins are prone to premature birth. Huo Huaisui is already over eight months along, so just in case, Ji Xueru and Yu Ran will take turns coming to stay with him during the day, and Xie Qinglan will stay with him at night.

Seeing her daughter sprawled on the sofa all day, Yu Ran asked, "Are you not planning to give birth naturally?"

“Yes,” Huo Huai Sui said. “Xie Qing Lan said she’ll wait until the pregnancy is full term and then find a good day to have a C-section.”

Many people say that all women go through this, making it sound so natural, but Xie Qinglan believes that no woman is born to suffer. Furthermore, twins are difficult to deliver, and if the baby doesn't come out naturally, a C-section would be necessary. Xie Qinglan couldn't bear to let Huo Huaisui suffer that pain.

Rather than going through the pain twice, it's better to just have a C-section directly.

Yu Ran: "Aren't you afraid of scarring?"

Huo Huai Sui had completely given up. "I've already got stretch marks, I'm afraid of scarring?"

Yu Ran had nothing to say.

Just as I was about to leave, I suddenly heard my daughter exclaim "Ouch!"

Yu Ran quickly went back. "What's wrong?"

Huo Huai Sui looked down at his legs, then reached out to wipe them, held his hands up in front of him for a moment, and said, "It seems like I've leaked urine."

Yu Ran: "..."

Xie Qinglan, who was at work, was startled when she suddenly received a phone call from her mother-in-law.

"So fast."

Seeing Huo Huai Sui's posture of lying down rather than sitting, he thought he could hold on for at least another half month.

"Her water broke," Yu Ran said calmly. "I'll take her to the hospital now. You can come over slowly."

Xie Qinglan was not going to be slow. She quickly handed over her work to her colleagues and immediately ran to the hospital.

By the time Xie Qinglan arrived at the hospital, Huo Huaisui had already been wheeled into the operating room.

Ji Xueru and Xie Chaolang rushed over after receiving the call.

The waiting time might be just a matter of taking a nap for Huo Huaisui, who was under anesthesia, but it was a bit unbearable for Xie Qinglan.

The more you know about pregnancy and childbirth, the greater the psychological pressure becomes. No matter if the chance of a terrible accident is one in ten thousand or one in a million, as long as there is a possibility, anyone could become that one unlucky one out of ten thousand.

At this moment, Xie Qinglan had no mind to think about the child; she only hoped that Huo Huaisui could come out of there safely.

Seeing that her son looked unwell, Ji Xueru comforted him, "Don't worry. Everything will be alright."

Xie Qinglan nodded without saying anything.

After about three hours, the operating room door opened, and Huo Huai Sui, along with her two children, was wheeled out by a nurse.

"Sui Sui." Xie Qinglan quickly walked to Huo Huai Sui's side.

Huo Huai Sui was awake. Hearing the shout, he opened his eyes and glanced at Xie Qing Lan, then immediately turned his head away. "Ugly. Don't look."

Xie Qinglan leaned down and kissed her forehead. "Not ugly. I like it."

When the elders saw that Huo Huaisui was alright, they went back to the ward and surrounded the young couple, letting them talk.

Huo Huaisui didn't really want to talk to Xie Qinglan. "Could you please stop staring at me?"

Xie Qinglan raised an eyebrow, "You don't want the child's father on your first day as a mother?"

Huo Huai Sui: "Leave the father and keep the son, we don't want them."

"You little ingrate." Xie Qinglan pinched her cheek.

Huo Huai Sui glared at him and mumbled, "When other women give birth, their husbands always say nice things to their wives. Why don't you say anything to me?"

"No rush." ​​Xie Qinglan released her cheek and said softly, "Life is long. I'll tell you whatever you want to hear."
