Chapter 1559 I Want to be Cool
The next morning at the chateau, Iris and her family woke up early. They had a quick bite before heading to what was once the ballroom. Dom set up a Bluetooth speaker. Soon, his Zumba playlist started booming in the antique ballroom.
Iris and Dom started dancing, their steps in sync. Their bodies moved to the beat of the music. Even the nannies had changed into workout clothes and were following the two.
Jin Liwei sighed before following the dance steps while his expression remained cold and indifferent. Despite the look on his face, his body was actually quite flexible. His movements were smooth and pleasant to watch.
"Yah yah yah!" The excited Little Mochi clapped his hands before following his mommy and Uncle Dom. He shook his little body like an itchy worm.
When everyone else cheered for him, he danced harder, looking like a possessed doll. He loved all the attention. He wished that he could dance with his family like this all the time.
This was the best day ever!
Little Mochi glanced at his twin brother. "Cha cha, yah!" (Matcha, join us!)
Little Matcha pursed his adorable mouth. He also watched his daddy dancing with everyone else. How could his powerful daddy lose his principles just like that?
The baby crossed his little arms over his chest and shook his head, refusing to do something so embarrassing. But then his mommy smiled at him.
"Come, Little Matcha. Dance with Mommy!"
Little Matcha beamed and toddled over to his mommy. Then he began shaking his body as well.
"Yah yah, Cha cha! Yah!" (Like this, Matcha! Like this!) Little Mochi shook his body harder, looking like a deranged monkey. He wanted to show his twin brother how to do it.
Everyone laughed.
The babies tired easily, so Jin Liwei used this chance to withdraw from the Zumba session.
"Let us take care of the young masters," the nannies offered.
Jin Liwei declined. "Continue working out with the madam. I'll watch over the kids."
The nannies obeyed.
The father and sons didn't go too far away. They stayed at the other side of the large ballroom. A bodyguard laid down three exercise mats for them while another brought water. Jin Liwei took two sippy cups and handed them to his sons before drinking from his own water bottle.
Then he began a series of bodyweight exercises.
Little Mochi continued drinking from his sippy cup while Little Matcha immediately put down his on the floor.
Then Little Matcha moved to an empty exercise mat and began imitating his daddy doing push-ups. Of course, he couldn't do it yet. The baby looked like he was squatting on the floor with his head moving up and down.
Little Mochi laughed at his twin brother. He also put down his sippy cup on the floor before toddling over to his daddy's. Then he climbed on his daddy's back, squealing in delight as he moved up and down.
Eventually, Little Matcha was also tempted. He abandoned exercising on his own and joined his twin brother in riding their daddy.
A bodyguard immediately stepped forward to make sure that the babies didn't fall off their father's back.
Jin Liwei didn't disappoint his sons. He carefully executed push-ups, causing Little Mochi and Little Matcha to admire their daddy even more. Their daddy was so strong! Like a superhero!
For them, he was the most amazing daddy in the whole wide world. They could ride on his back and go high into the sky.
So much fun!
At the other side of the ballroom, Iris watched the father and sons working out together. She laughed while not missing a dance step. Beside her, Dom was in his element. He shook his booty like no other's business.
Everyone had fun working out together.
They went to their own bedrooms to shower and change their clothes before heading to eat a proper breakfast together.
Little Matcha was well-behaved and ate without making too much of a mess. He also knew how to call out to his parents to wipe his face and hands if he found them too dirty for his own liking.
In contrast, his elder twin brother, Little Mochi, was almost covered with food from head to toe. He enjoyed playing with his own food to the exasperation of his parents.
Iris was already used to Little Mochi's messiness. She calmly wiped the baby and continued feeding him in an almost never-ending cycle. Jin Liwei, on the other hand, couldn't bear to see this anymore.
"Jin Haoyu, behave," he scolded.
Little Mochi paused for a couple of seconds, but seeing his mommy, his courage grew. He continued playing with his food.
Jin Liwei's expression grew darker by the second.
Little Mochi didn't care.
This time, Iris also had enough. She was about to lecture her son when a goo of food flew and splattered on Little Matcha's forehead. It dripped down on his eyes and nose. Little Matcha froze.
Then all hell broke loose.
The little guy shrieked and threw his plate and sippy cup from fury. His elder twin brother, Little Mochi, was startled.
Upon seeing his younger brother throwing a tantrum, Little Mochi quailed and finally behaved.
Jin Liwei sighed, stood up, and immediately carried his younger twin son away. Iris also wanted to hold her son, but Jin Liwei wouldn't allow her. Little Matcha was thrashing in his arms, punching everywhere. Jin Liwei didn't want to risk his wife being hurt by their son this way.
Iris had no choice but to let her husband calm their youngest twin son by himself. In the meantime, she wiped her other messy son.
Little Mochi's eyes teared up. His lips trembled. He gazed up at her in a pitiful way.
Iris' heart was about to melt but she forced herself to act tough.
"What you did was not right, Little Mochi. When your brother calms down, you need to apologize. Okay?"
"Mama," the baby whined.
"You have to apologize to your brother for splashing food on his face."
Little Mochi pouted but still nodded.
Iris sighed in relief. At the same time, she felt amazed that her son could understand her. Did babies this age understand the concept of an apology?
She had no time to ponder too much about this question because Dom interjected.
"Little Mochi, you also need to say sorry to your mommy and daddy," Dom said. "If you're a bad boy, Santa Claus won't give you presents on Christmas! Oh no! How sad it would be if Little Mochi received no Christmas presents from Santa Claus? So you have to be good!"
Little Mochi blinked a few times, looking confused. It was clear that he didn't understand what his Uncle Dom meant.
Iris smiled. It seemed that her baby couldn't understand everything yet. This should be normal. For some reason, she felt relieved. She didn't want her babies to grow up too fast. It would be great if her babies stayed as babies for longer.
Dom continued, "So how about saying sorry to your mommy now?"
Little Mochi looked at Iris with his innocent eyes.
"Yah, Mama." (Sorry, Mommy.) Then he hugged his mommy's neck.
Iris' heart completely melted and patted her baby's back. "I forgive you, Little Mochi. Don't be too naughty next time."
Jin Liwei also returned with a hiccupping Little Matcha. Fortunately, Little Matcha had also calmed down now, but his tear-stained face looked quite pitiful.
Iris handed Little Mochi to Dom while she took her other son from her husband. "No more hiccups, Little Matcha. You'll be fine."
She also took a new sippy cup and made her son drink water.
Perhaps Little Matcha felt comforted in the arms of his mommy. He really did stop hiccupping.
Dom once again encouraged Little Mochi. "What are you going to say to your brother?"
Little Mochi pouted again but still reached over to his twin brother.
"Yah, Cha cha." (Sorry, Matcha!)
In a lower tone, Little Matcha babbled back, "Uh, Chi chi. Uh guh." (Okay, Mochi. Everything's good now.)
"Yah yah! Yah!" (Yay! Thanks, bro!)
"Uh uh, buh. Uh nuh uh." (No worries, bro. Just don't do it again.)
"Yah!" (Okay!)
Iris and the others had no idea what the babies' babbling meant, but it seemed that the twins understood each other. In no time, the twin brothers were back to smiling at each other like nothing happened.
Dom, however, wasn't finished yet. "Little Mochi, don't forget to say sorry to your daddy, as well."
Little Mochi's eyes teared up again, looking pitiful. He blinked his eyes, using his cuteness to soften his daddy's heart. It didn't seem to work.
"Yah, Dada." (Sorry, Daddy.)
Jin Liwei sighed and rubbed his eldest twin son's head. "Don't play with your food next time, Jin Haoyu. It's bad manners. People won't like you anymore if you continue doing that."
"Yah?!" (Really?!) Little Mochi looked horrified.
"En. People will become disgusted with you if you continue playing with food and making a mess like that. So don't do it again and behave. Then people will like you and praise you for being a cool boy."
"Yah yah, Dada!" (I want to be cool, Daddy!)
Of course, Jin Liwei didn't understand what his son was babbling about. He pretended to understand and nodded. "You'll only be cool if you behave."
"Yah!" (Okay!)
Iris chuckled, feeling amused. She was sure that her husband and son were just pretending to understand each other. A tug on her sleeve interrupted her thoughts.
"Mama, uh huh." (Mommy, I'm still hungry.) Little Matcha pointed at the remaining food on the table.
This babble, Iris could understand, especially with her son's clear pointing with his finger. "Okay, sweetheart. Mommy will feed you."
