Chapter 519 Raise a toast
A big celebration party was arranged for the arrival of the little Han Shui. It wasn't a large banquet but a gathering of only close ones and family.
Han Shui was at the center of everybody's attention. Right now, she was peacefully sleeping after having her tummy full of her mother's milk.
Everybody was peering into the small crib, charging themselves by taking in the cuteness of little Shui.
Ah Cy, whose delivery was late this time, was gently bent as she held her belly. Liang was beside her, supporting her back.
"She is so cute…" she whispered.
Liang nodded hard. "Leina will be like a big sister to her now. This is so exciting! And Shui will be a big sister to our daughter," he grinned.
"It could be a son too, you know?"
"Shh!! Speak positively! It's definitely a girl!"
Caihong rolled her eyes. "Liang, you are so biased. Boys are cute too."
Xiaosi tilted his head as he gently poked Shui's cheek. "I agree with Liang."
She stared at him. "Oh my gosh, Xiaosi! You better not become an annoying pain in the ass like Liang is, okay?"
Liang was heartbroken. "Hey! You are all so mean towards me!"
Caihong gave a thumbs up to Ah Cy. "Don't worry Ah Cy. It will definitely be a boy."
Then she shot a glare at her husband. "I want a little brother for Chyou in the future, okay? So better get a grip."
Xiaosi coughed. "As you say."
Caihong smiled, satisfied.
Then the two couples turned to look at Jack Si and Shuang. "So…"
Shuang, who was busy taking Shui's pictures in her phone, lifted her gaze and raised her brow. "What?"
Liang placed his hand on Jack Si's shoulder. "So…"
Xiaosi nodded.
Jack Si looked at them questiongly. "What?"
Just like that, Shuang and Jack became the What? couple of the night.
Xiaosi's mouth twitched. "When will we hear the good news?"
Everybody expectantly stared at them.
Shuang grimaced. "We are appreciating baby Shui here! How did my child come to the picture?"
Everybody - "..."
Caihong pressed her brow. "Not a baby, idiot. We mean the good news of your relationship with Jack."
"..."
"..."
Jack cleared his throat. "We are just friends."
Shuang was clueless. "Why a relationship between us?"
"..."
So hopeless!
Everybody had practically considered them to be a couple and thought it was just a matter of time before they announced their relationship.
But here they were still playing friendship friendship.
In the end, Xiaosi couldn't stop himself from asking, "Shuang…were you always this hopeless when it comes to romance?"
"..."
Why am I attacked out of nowhere?
"Get asideeeeee! Aunt Zizi is here!" She came dashing in, singing in a chirpy voice. Her hands were full of stuffed toys that she carefully placed in the crib beside the sleeping Shui.
"Awwwww, Shui has become even cuter!" She could hardly contain her dancing voice. "She is just like me! Hahaha! Shui and Aunt Zizi are gonna rock!"
Shui slightly shifted in the crib with a soft smile on her lips as if she was having an adorable dream.
Zizi gasped. "Did you just see!? She smiled as soon as she heard my voice! We are definitely gonna be a team!" Her nose grew longer in pride.
She turned to look at Ah Cy and asked, "What did the doctor say about your little one? When will I get to see him!? I want to play with two cute babies!"
Liang rolled his eyes. Ah Cy laughed, but then she was suddenly on the verge of crying. "I don't know…."
Liang immediately tried to pacify her. "Hey, hey, don't cry, honey. It will be soon!"
"When?" She sniffled. "It is so tiring to walk this way, and I am tired of resting the whole day too! You don't understand because you are not pregnant! Why can't men be pregnant!?"
"..."
Here it was, Ah Cy's pregnancy mood swings. He didn't blame her because it was really tough to walk carrying a big belly. She walked at a snail's pace which frustrated her at times.
He hugged his wife and kissed her forehead. "Don't worry. I will torture myself with this too! I will find a big, heavy pillow and stick it under my shirt and act as a pregnant woman," he solemnly nodded.
The rest only laughed at his misery but also consoled Ah Cy.
As everybody gathered in the hall, Zhiyuan proposed a toast. "Cheers to my lovely daughter, Han Shui. I still cannot believe…that I am a proud father of a daughter…" in the middle of his speech, he began to cry.
Xinyi chuckled. "Oof! This is not the time to cry, Zhiyuan."
"I know," he rubbed his nose. "But watching her makes me feel emotional."
Han Huizhong sneered. "Give me that glass. I will raise the toast. Who knows how long you will take? You just hold Shui and get away and get all cuddly with her!"
"..."
Jinhai smiled. "Cannot even raise a toast, Han Zhiyuan. So pitiful…"
Nana elbowed him. "You are the last person to say that! I remember your state when Nuo was born. You weren't anything different than how Zhiyuan is right now. You even refused to go to the office for six whole months."
Watching his wife throw mud at him and expose him right in front of everyone made him speechless.
"Nana…"
"Sshh! No making fun of anybody."
He shot a murderous glare at Zhiyuan, seeing how Nana defended him.
Zhiyuan, who was thrown away from raising the toast, could only find comfort in his daughter. But he had no chance to do that because Shui was now surrounded by the kids.
Siying proudly said, "She is my little sister!"
Leina hopped up and down. "She is so tinyyyy!"
Chyou beamed and looked at her from all sides. "She looks like Aunt Xinyi! Very cute!"
Leina grinned. "My little brother will be here too Mama said! Then Shui and my brother can play together!"
Jun, who was concentrating only on Shui, frowned and narrowed his eyes. "Your brother better not have any intentions for my future wife."
