Chapter 1440 Legal Guardians
Chapter 1440 Legal Guardians
After feeding her godson, Iris lightly poked his cute little nose. "You have to get well soon, Little Jun. Your little cousins miss you already and want to play with you again."
"Mochi, Matcha?" Little Jun asked.
"Yes." She nodded.
"Junjun want chu pway wif Mochi, Matcha, Mama! And da katty and da doggie!" (Junjun wants to play with Mochi and Matcha, Mama! And the kitties and the doggies!)
"Of course, sweetheart. They all can't wait to play with you, too. But you need to get well soon first. Okay?"
"Okay, Mama~"
After a light breakfast for Little Jun, the nurses returned to administer medications to the child. Perhaps because Iris mentioned that he needed to get well soon first to play with his little cousins again, Little Jun didn't complain even once when he was made to drink any of the medicine, even the bitter ones.
He also wasn't afraid that there was an IV needle inserted into his hand. In fact, he was proud of it because Lin Yehan told him that it meant he was a strong boy for not crying about it. He couldn't wait to show it off to his godparents. Of course, neither Iris nor Jin Liwei were stingy in praising the little guy.
Soon after, Little Jun became drowsy and slept again.
Jiang Ying Yue cleared her throat to get everyone's attention. They all looked at her.
Lin Yehan sat beside Jiang Ying Yue to give her support. It looked like he already knew what she wanted to say.
Iris and Jin Liwei also sat together across them.
"Xiulan, Sir Liwei, I want to thank you for always being there for my son," Jiang Ying Yue began. "I know that you've always treated and protected Little Jun like your own child. And I'm always grateful for that. I've…I've discussed this with Yehan…and…uhm…."
Yehan took her hand and squeezed it, encouraging her.
She gave him a shy smile before facing Iris and Jin Liwei again. "Yehan and I have decided…uhm, we want to ask you both if you are willing to become Little Jun's legal guardians."
"Yes, of course, we're willing," Iris agreed with no hesitation at all.
"En." Jin Liwei nodded.
"Thank you." Jiang Ying Yue's eyes watered.
Lin Yehan said, "Ying Yue and I are going to marry soon. I'm going to register both mother and son under my household. Although Ying Yue and I intend to live long, just in case something happens to both of us, at least we have trustworthy people to continue raising Little Jun with love and care. Both of you are already the child's godparents, but I suggested to Ying Yue to make it official and appoint both of you as legal guardians."
Jiang Ying Yue nodded. "I don't want Long Hui to…to get my son…if something really bad happens to me and Yehan. I don't trust that man. I'm sure that he'll marry someone else again. What if his new wife mistreats and harms my son? I can't bear it!"
"Both of you can rest assured that Xiulan and I will take our duties as legal guardians seriously," Jin Liwei said. "Eldest Brother, have your lawyer process the legal guardianship immediately. It's good that you suggested this to Jiang Ying Yue."
Lin Yehan agreed.
Iris also nodded. "When you have more children in the future, you can also make us their legal guardians so that Little Jun and his siblings will always be together."
Jiang Ying Yue blushed.
Lin Yehan smiled. "Thank you." ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Afterward, Iris and Jin Liwei said their goodbyes and left the hospital together.

Dragon Palace Home #10.
Iris worked at her home studio with her music mentor, Enrique Valdez. They were finally done with the rough stages of their much-anticipated music collaboration.
It had been a long time coming.
They should have been completed and released it sooner, but the project got delayed time and again due to Iris' surprise pregnancy, sudden secret wedding, and other unexpected incidents over the past couple of years.
It was a good thing that Enrique Valdez was very patient and understanding of his protégé's circumstances.
Besides, he enjoyed every single second of his stay in the country and even became semi-active in the domestic music scene. Music programs, talk shows, and variety shows were clamouring to invite him as a special guest.
Although he would leave the country from time to time to take care of his other matters, he would always return and continue personally working with Iris whenever she had free time.
"The timbre of your voice has slightly changed after you gave birth," Enrique said. "Don't worry too much about it. I think that this is a blessing in disguise. It makes your tone richer and more soulful. However, you need to train it more in order to modulate your tone more effectively. Practice what I taught you and you'll improve soon."
Iris nodded. "Understood."
"Everything's okay now with the samples we made. Have JJ arrange the musicians, so we can now start the actual recording."
"Okay, Teacher. I'll call him now."
Her music producer, JJ, immediately answered her call. The three discussed the next steps of their projects. In the end, everyone agreed that they would record at JJ's company.
Initially, Iris wanted to record at her home studio, but after estimating the number of people that would be involved in the music project, including musicians, backup singers, technicians and other staff, she could only agree to record at JJ's company studio instead.
Now that she was a mother, she valued her family's privacy even more.
She didn't want some random strangers encountering her babies at home. Even though their home security was top-notch, it was still better to be safe than sorry especially when it came to her family's safety.
After the phone call, Iris glanced at the time. "I need to check on the kids."
Enrique Valdez was used to it. He waved her away. "Go ahead. I'll stay here in the studio for a while. I have a couple of melodies that I want to play around with."
