After all, Zu Qi was a man. Even if Cui Junzhuo and his assistants made all the preparations before the operation, they still could not prevent certain unexpected situations from happening.
The two-hour operation completely exceeded expectations, and Zu Qi suffered severe bleeding and even fell into a coma during the operation. Fortunately, Cui Junzhuo had rich experience and provided the correct treatment in time.
However, the direct consequence of the caesarean section was wound pain and slow recovery. Even if Zu Qi lied motionless on the bed and did nothing, he could still feel the dull pain in his abdomen where the operation was performed.
What’s more… that little ancestor Xue Wanwan was really noisy.
He often cried non-stop, with a loud voice that almost shook the entire ward and seemed to have no intention of stopping at all.
Worried about disturbing Zu Qi’s rest, Weng Yuxiang had no choice but to leave the ward with the little guy and go to the end of the corridor to move around. However, even when they were far away, Zu Qi in the hospital bed could still hear the piercing cry.
After two days, Zu Qi finally understood why he often saw Xue Jue holding Xue Wanwan standing in front of the window without even moving.
At first he thought it was Xue Jue who liked his son so much that he couldn’t put him down and wished he could hug Xue Wanwan even when he was sleeping. Later he found out that it was Xue Wanwan, a naughty kid, who only wanted Xue Jue to hold him.
Whenever the person holding him was Weng Yuxiang or Butler Zhang or Xiaoya, Xue Wanwan looked like he was going to cry the house down.
It was a pity that Xue Jue still had a lot of work to deal with in the company, so he could only try to spare as much time as possible to come to the hospital to take care of Zu Qi and his child. Therefore, Xue Jue’s absence was undoubtedly a nightmare for Zu Qi and others.
For example, now…
Weng Yuxiang had been walking back and forth in the ward for almost half an hour, and Xue Wanwan was still crying in her arms with his mouth wide open, holding back his whole face until it was as red as a monkey’s butt.
Seeing this, Butler Zhang next to her stepped forward and said, “Why don’t you rest for a while and I’ll hold the young master.” Weng Yuxiang was exhausted mentally and physically. Seeing that the little guy was always tossing in her arms, Weng Yuxiang sighed and nodded.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Xue Wanwan was handed over to Butler Zhang, the little guy who was already howling at the top of his lungs suddenly started crying even harder. His two little hands were dancing wildly in the air, struggling desperately.
Butler Zhang looked embarrassed. He couldn’t help but send Xue Wanwan back to Weng Yuxiang for a moment. Then he couldn’t help but hold the child in place, feeling helpless.
“He is really like his father, who also loved to make noises.” Weng Yuxiang took Xue Wanwan tiredly, and said to Butler Zhang while comforting the child, “Xiao Jue was also like this when he was first born, and he insisted on making trouble so that everyone could not get a good rest.”
“Yes…” Butler Zhang obviously couldn’t to do anything to Xue Wanwan, so he just stared helplessly.
Although Zu Qi was a little afraid of Xue Wanwan’s ability to cry, he still felt a little distressed when he saw the boy crying so hard that his voice was hoarse. After all, it was a piece of meat that they spent two hours cutting out of his stomach.
“Let me hold him.” Zu Qi said heartily.
Hearing this, Weng Yuxiang hesitated slightly, but did not refuse. After thinking about it, she asked Butler Zhang and Xiaoya to help Zu Qi sit on the bed, and then gently put Xue Wanwan into Zu Qi’s arms.
Although Zu Qi had rested for two full days, his body was still very weak, and he rarely took care of Xue Wanwan. Strictly speaking, this was the first time he held Xue Wanwan.
The little guy was so small, it felt like it was not as long as Zu Qi’s little arm. He was tightly wrapped in pale pink swaddling clothes. His little eyes were slightly narrowed, his mouth was wide open, and his cry could be described as deafening.
Originally, Zu Qi had no experience in holding a child, but he was suddenly yelled at by Xue Wanwan and froze instantly. He held the little guy’s tender body very carefully, not daring to move at all.
Weng Yuxiang was amused by Zu Qi’s reaction. She stepped forward to help adjust Zu Qi’s posture of holding Xue Wanwan and warned: “The posture of holding the child is very important. Your hands should be placed under his neck to support his head. The other hand should be used to hold hold his butt, and you shouldn’t use too much force.”
Zu Qi, a first-time father, was confused when his posture was corrected by Weng Yuxiang, and he felt that his hands were no longer his own.
Fortunately, Xue Wanwan was very generous. As soon as Zu Qi changed his position, the little guy who had been crying loudly stopped crying suddenly.
Weng Yuxiang laughed out in surprise, and at the same time breathed a sigh of relief: “It finally calmed down.”
“He is so small…” Zu Qi couldn’t help but look at Xue Wanwan who was in his arms, chirping. He sighed, “Not even as long as my arms.”
Weng Yuxiang propped herself up beside the bed, teasing the child and saying with a smile, “He weighs seven kilograms, which is not considered light among newborns.”
Zu Qi said doubtfully: “Are the other babies smaller?”
“Probably, but compared with when Xiao Jue was born, he is still a little skinny.” Speaking of Xue Jue’s childhood, Weng Yuxiang’s eyes became softer and she spoke with nostalgia, “When Xiao Jue was born, he weighed ten kilograms at that time, and the nurses said he would grow into a big fat man in the future.”
Zu Qi: “…Ten kilograms???”
Weng Yuxiang covered her mouth and said with a smile: “And he was very strong, and he could cry more than this child, even for 24 hours a day, the caregiver who took care of Xiao Jue almost had a nervous breakdown.”
“…”
Zu Qi simply couldn’t imagine what a ten-pound baby would look like.
Moreover, Xue Jue now looked thin when dressed and muscular when undressed. Not only were his legs long and straight, but he also had beautiful eight-pack abs, which was completely incompatible with Weng Yuxiang’s description.
After a long silence, Zu Qi asked softly: “Was Xue Jue ugly when he was a child?”
Weng Yuxiang blinked: “He was strong, dark, and loved to toss around. Even a mother like me was embarrassed to take him out.”
Zu Qi couldn’t help laughing.
However, halfway through his laughter, he caught sight of the tall figure standing behind Weng Yuxiang from the corner of his eye. His laughter suddenly stopped, like a duck whose throat was strangled.
Weng Yuxiang, who was also laughing, quickly realized something, followed Zu Qi’s frightened eyes, and met Xue Jue’s expressionless poker face the next second.
A mysterious embarrassment spread in the air, followed by Weng Yuxiang’s dry laughter.
“Xiao Jue, why didn’t you say anything when you came over? Xiao Qi and I happened to be talking about you.”
“?”
Weng Yuxiang: “…”
Zu Qi: “…”
Butler Zhang and Xiaoya, who were standing behind, both had indescribable expressions, looking at their noses and mouths with concern, trying to minimize their presence.
Zu Qi felt inexplicably guilty about speaking ill of people behind their backs and being overheard. He subconsciously tightened his hands holding Xue Wanwan and was about to say something to change the topic.
Before he could speak, the little guy in his arms suddenly burst out into a high-pitched cry.
“Woo -“
Zu Qi was caught off guard and was startled. He quickly relaxed his strength. He had never had the experience of coaxing a child. Even if the child came out of his belly, he was still at a loss.
Just as Zu Qi was about to raise his head to ask Weng Yuxiang, he felt the light in front of his eyes dim suddenly. Before he could react, he saw Xue Jue snatching the child away from him with lightning speed.
At the same time, a stream of light-colored liquid leached out of the swaddling clothes and fell to the floor one after another.
Xue Jue held Xue Wanwan’s butt with his right hand. The liquid was all over his hands. He didn’t even frown. He looked at Zu Qi calmly and said, “Pee.”
Zu Qi was shocked and gasped for two seconds then he asked in a tone: “How did you know he wanted to pee?”
“Intuition.” After Xue Jue finished speaking, he turned around and went to change Xue Wanwan’s clothes with Xiaoya.
Zu Qi had only held the child for less than twenty minutes when he felt his hands become sore and numb. He gently shook his hands and turned his head to see Xue Wanwan, who had been crying just now, lying in Xue Jue’s arms sleeping quietly and obediently. He couldn’t help but feel sad and also admire Xue Jue.
He didn’t know how Xue Jue managed to hold him for several hours without feeling tired.
What he had to admit was that Xue Wanwan was indeed very dependent on Xue Jue. No matter when, as long as Xue Jue held him in his arms and coaxed him gently, the boy would definitely fall asleep within a few seconds.
The white-eyed wolf[1]… didn’t even look at who worked hard for two hours to give birth to him, Zu Qi thought sourly.
At night.
Weng Yuxiang, Butler Zhang and others all went back, leaving Xue Jue to take care of Zu Qi and Xue Wanwan alone.
At first, Weng Yuxiang was not at ease and insisted on staying, but in the blink of an eye, she saw the crying little guy in her arms immediately calm down when he got into Xue Jue’s arms, so she followed Butler Zhang and others with a wounded heart.
Zu Qi didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when he saw this scene. At that moment, he wanted to step forward to comfort Weng Yuxiang – don’t be sad, I am still Xue Wanwan’s father. When he saw me, he still cried as if he had seen a ghost.
But he couldn’t say this sentence in the end. Zu Qi was worried that after he said it, Weng Yuxiang would be even sadder.
With Xue Jue here, it felt like the mute button of Xue Wanwan, the little white-eyed wolf, had been pressed. He fell asleep for four or five hours, and when he woke up, he babbled and waved his little hands at Xue Jue.
After working hard for so long during the day, Zu Qi was exhausted. He fell into a drowsy sleep for a while. When he woke up, he opened his eyes and saw Xue Jue sitting on the sofa, holding Xue Wanwan while busy working on his laptop.
After all, he was a little worried that the computer would produce radiation, so Xue Jue didn’t dare to sit in front of the computer for too long. From time to time, he would get up with Xue Wanwan in her arms and walk back and forth quietly in the ward.
Xue Wanwan was not honest even when he was not crying. He raised his hand to touch Xue Jue’s chin. The baby couldn’t open his fingers, so he could only touch Xue Jue’s face with his small fist.
Xue Jue lowered his eyes and looked at Xue Wanwan who was babbling. He couldn’t help but raise the corners of his lips and chuckle. He suddenly opened his mouth and gently bit Xue Wanwan’s little hand.
Then, Xue Jue raised his gaze and met Zu Qi’s gaze, who was staring at him without words.
So the two of them stared at each other for a long time.
In the end, Zu Qi couldn’t stand the silent atmosphere and tentatively asked: “Does it taste good, Wanwan’s hands?”
Xue Jue: “…” A rare trace of embarrassment flashed across his face, but he quickly calmed down and returned to his calm expression within two seconds.
