Chapter 1446: Chapter 1446: Happiness is Too Short
Although the birth of the baby filled him with joy and excitement, he wasn’t completely swept away. He always felt that something wasn’t quite right.
It seemed like certain things had been overlooked—for example, during labor, Ye Lu stubbornly insisted on a natural birth and refused a C-section.
He didn’t think that natural birth was bad. Honestly, as long as she stayed healthy, he didn’t mind at all.
This time, the natural birth ended successfully, but her stubbornness in this matter puzzled him. Why did she insist so much on a natural birth, putting herself in danger?
He found it deeply strange.
...
When Ye Lu woke up, it had already been six hours. Hunger had stirred her awake.
After waking up and opening her eyes, the first thing she saw was Third Young Master Jun sitting by the bed. Her heart couldn’t help but feel delighted—her real fear was that he might have left again.
"Awake?" Third Young Master Jun reached out to brush away the strands of hair stuck to her forehead with incredible tenderness.
"Mm, I’m so hungry my stomach feels completely flat." Ye Lu spoke in a playful, coquettish tone.
Third Young Master Jun huffed in mock irritation.
"Of course it feels flat—it’s missing two little meatballs now."
He helped her sit up against the pillow, then picked up the rich assortment of food and nutritious soup from the table by the bed and started feeding her himself.
Ye Lu widened her eyes in surprise, as if she were witnessing a miracle. She’d never expected that in her lifetime, a young master like him would actually feed her with his own hands.
"You’re feeding me?"
"Yeah. What are you sitting there with your mouth open for? Close it quickly and chew harder!" Third Young Master Jun glared at her, barking orders in his gruff voice.
But of course, being the spoiled young master that he was, he was a little clumsy about it—some soup spilled a few drops here and there. He revealed a hint of awkwardness.
Ye Lu stifled her laughter, obediently chewing away without complaint. If the young master got embarrassed and angry, he might refuse to continue helping.
After finishing the meal, the couple exchanged tender looks for a while, only to be interrupted by the baby’s cries.
The new "daddy" heard his baby’s pitiful wail and felt a pang in his heart. In his rush to comfort the child, he didn’t spare Ye Lu another glance as he clumsily picked the baby up and cooed softly to console him.
Ye Lu felt a pang of irritation. He’d gotten a baby now and no longer needed the mother.
But seeing his expression full of worry and joy, she couldn’t help but smile faintly, her lips curling slightly.
The little baby wasn’t so easily pacified, though. He refused to give his dad any face, continuing to bawl loudly and driving the "new dad" into a frantic sweat.
"Bring him over here. The baby’s probably hungry." The experienced "milk mom" offered advice, having already raised two kids.
Third Young Master Jun hurriedly brought the little one over.
Ye Lu lifted her shirt and suddenly thought of something. She raised her eyes to steal a glance at Third Young Master Jun, coughed lightly in embarrassment, but the man didn’t react at all.
Helpless, she could only cradle the baby close, unfasten her bra, and let him nestle against her chest to eat.
The tiny baby, who refused to be soothed no matter what, immediately stopped crying the moment he started nursing. He lay obediently in his mother’s arms, his little lips eagerly moving, sucking contentedly.
Third Young Master Jun watched the baby drinking milk, his face filled with fascination and curiosity.
Then, with a mischievous smile, he remarked regretfully, "The baby’s taken over my private spot."
Ye Lu’s face flushed red as she shot him a furious glare—what a shameless man.
How was that his "private spot"?
No, wait—this scoundrel had indeed often... uh, done things before. Ahem!
Deciding not to deal with this man full of improper thoughts, Ye Lu finished nursing one baby and then switched to the other. Watching the little ones burp after feeding and then fall asleep, looking utterly satisfied, she melted with joy, her smile radiant.
Third Young Master Jun gazed at the warm, tender scene of mother and children, a deep look of reluctance and longing in his eyes.
How he wished he could stay with them just a little longer, but he had to leave.
