Chapter 379: He Didn’t Expect That The Baby Was Very Sensible And It Was The Baby’s Mom Who Was The Problem
Song Chuyi turned his face away silently. Their second child would probably not want to come out if it knew its nickname.
Hong Zao...
It would still be okay if it was a girl. If it was a boy... he’d probably vomit blood when he grew up.
Changqing stayed in the hospital for a week and Song Chuyi also took a week’s leave to keep her company. Rong Chang flew over from Germany specifically to see her grandson and to give them a huge red pocket. However, she left after staying for a few days.
A week later, Changqing returned to the Yan Household.
Yan Lei had already gotten all the necessities for the baby ready during the past few days. Even the stroller was ready beside the cot. Changqing was in confinement and could only go to places without wind. She had to dress up in thick clothing every day and since it was winter, she had to be even more careful during confinement. Otherwise, she might end up with long-term consequences.
Changqing felt that every day at the hospital was as long as a year. Now that she was back, every day still felt like a year. She couldn’t even watch television programs, look at her phone, or even the computer. The only thing she could do every day was reading or spacing out while watching Yan Wo. On the other hand, Yan Wo basically slept and drank milk every day, rarely crying. She was so bored she was about to go crazy, especially since Song Chuyi had to go back to work after she was discharged.
When he returned home from work, Changqing would throw tantrums at him, crying and shouting because she wanted to eat delicacies, go out to play and wear pretty clothes, not the ugly confinement clothes.
Song Chuyi could only coax her and hold her. He knew he would definitely be tired after the child was born. However, he thought he would be tired from taking care of the baby. He didn’t expect that the baby would be very sensible, not even kicking up a fuss, while it was the baby’s mom who was the problem.
In the middle of the night, the baby woke up and cried. He was so noisy that no one could sleep. Changqing moaned with frustration. Song Chuyi got up to look at the baby. Indeed, he had wet himself. Song Chuyi helped the baby change into a clean diaper.
Changqing opened her eyes and saw him looking like a perfect stay-at-home dad under the dim yellow light. She started to feel sorry for him.
When Song Chuyi lay back down again, she reached over to hold him gently. Actually, he was more tired than she was during this period. He had to go to work every day then take care of her and their child. She wasn’t making things easier for him with her bad temper.
She lifted her head to look at Song Chuyi’s sharp chin as she said softly, “Chuchu, you’ve slimmed down. Don’t just give me all the tonics next time. You take them too.”
“Mm.” Song Chuyi closed his eyes and stroked her head. His wife had finally become sensible. That was something to be glad about. “Let’s get to sleep quickly.”
Actually, as a man, he didn’t perceive his life to be very tough. He was a doctor and he understood well the level of damage childbirth could do to a woman. Most of the gynecological diseases came after childbirth. He couldn’t relate to the pain brought about by those diseases, but he could understand how painful some gynecological check ups were. All he could do was minimize pain for his woman.
——————-
After more than 20 days, Duoyao called to say she was coming over for a visit. Changqing was about to be moved to tears. She was really very bored—so bored that she was about to become moldy.
That afternoon, she waited downstairs for Duoyao. Auntie Zhang didn’t dare to let her come into contact with the wind, so the doors and windows were tightly shut. When it was around 3 pm, the sounds of the car engine and dogs barking came from outside. Auntie Zhang went over to open the door and Duoyao walked in. However, there was someone following her. She had shoulder-length hair and was wearing a pair of high-waist casual pants with an orange sweater. She was carrying a black coat in her arm and she had an excellent figure and charm.
“Did you bring a friend along?” Changqing walked over, and when she saw that person lifting her fair face, she was stupefied. She covered her mouth in disbelief. “Ruan Yang, what brings you back? Oh my god!”
“I’m here to visit my godson.” Ruan Yang walked in with a grin after changing into slippers. After not seeing her for a good half a year, she had cut her thick hair to shoulder-length, making her look simple. If she was considered charming in the past, then her half-year stay in Northern Europe had settled her down a lot. She now gave off a dignified and tranquil vibe.
Changqing was stunned once again. Actually, she just hadn’t seen Ruan Yang since the start of the year, but it felt as though Ruan Yang had changed into a completely different person. If she was heavy and dense in the past, now, she was light.
She felt a sense of melancholy. Her eyes reddened slightly as she went up to give Ruan Yang a hug. “Come on, I don’t believe you just came to visit your godson. Am I that important to you?”
“Can you not expose me?” Ruan Yang passed her coat to Auntie Zhang, who had her hands stretched out towards her with a smile. Auntie Zhang took the coat and hung it behind the door.
“Actually. I came back this time because I heard from my uncle that my dad’s health isn’t great. I wanted to come back to visit him,” Ruan Yang sat on the couch, saying wistfully.
Changqing felt her heart aching. Others might not know but she knew very clearly that Ruan Yang lived in a very traditional family in a small city in Guangdong. Because of Ruan Yang’s nude shoot then, her family thought that was the greatest shame of their entire lives. Her parents said they couldn’t lift their heads up again because of her, and no matter where they went, people pointed fingers at them. Therefore, they cut off all contact with Ruan Yang in a fit of anger. After that, Ruan Yang slowly became popular and the embarrassing past was slowly forgotten. However, just as their relationship improved slightly, her scandal with Xin Ziao worsened their familial relationship once again. Otherwise, Ruan Yang wouldn’t have left the country alone.
“Your dad... has he forgiven you?” Changqing asked softly.
“I still have to go back to see him, whether he’s forgiven me or not.” Ruan Yang sighed softly and picked up the cup of hot tea on the table. “My parents aren’t young anymore. Every visit counts.”
“That’s true.” Changqing nodded. “Then have you booked your flight ticket?”
“I’m going tomorrow morning.” Ruan Yang took a sip and just as she was about to talk, a child’s crying broke the tranquility in the living room.
Changqing looked over at the stroller beside the couch. It happened that while the two were chatting, Duoyao went over to play with Yan Wo and for some reason, Yan Wo started crying loudly.
Duoyao quickly shook the rattle drum in front of Yan Wo helplessly. However, that only made him cry even louder.
“What are you doing?” Changqing walked over with bewilderment. Yan Wo rarely cried. He usually only cried when his diaper was full. However, Duoyao had already made him cry twice.
“I didn’t do anything. I just pinched his little face, touched his little hand and kissed him. I didn’t even pinch him hard.” Duoyao looked innocent. “Do I look so scary? I’m a gentle woman.”
Changqing rolled her eyes at her and shook the rattle drum in front of Yan Wo. Yan Wo miraculously stopped crying.
Duoyao was angry. “I shook the rattle drum too. Why does it only work for you and Yan Molun but doesn’t work for me? Do I look so hideous that I’m scarier than Yan Molun?”
“Perhaps.” Changqing was puzzled too. Why would Yan Wo cry when he saw Duoyao?
“Come, come, come, let me hold him.” Ruan Yang picked Yan Wo out carefully. She felt a mixture of emotions when she looked at this fair little boy who was as cute as a ball of mochi. It was probably because no one expected Changqing to be the one who would give birth first out of all of them. “Wow, our Yan Wo looks so cute.”
Yan Wo seemed to be able to understand her and he broke out into a smile. He had Changqing’s eyes. They were large and black like grapes.
Duoyao watched enviously and glumly. Why didn’t he smile when he looked at her? Could it be that her beauty couldn’t be compared to Ruan Yang?
That’s impossible. She was considered youthful and pretty too.
Ruan Yang said while clicking her tongue, “He’s so young but his eyes are huge. How many women will be smitten by him once he grows up?”
Changqing smiled with delight upon hearing that. “I’ve decided that if my Yan Wo starts dating in primary school, I won’t stop him, but he’s restricted to holding hands.”
Duoyao despised her. “If Song Chuyi was to hear that, he would definitely beat you to death.”
“I’m also quite worried about your son,” Ruan Yang said in agreement. “You don’t have to do that.”
Changqing sighed. “I just feel I got the short end of the stick, getting married after dating only once. I hope our Yan Wo is able to date more. Of course, Yan Wo is going to grow up to be very dashing, so even if he doesn’t like any girls, I think many girls would chase him around too.”
Duoyao and Ruan Yang exchanged glances silently upon hearing that. They really wanted to tell on her to Song Chuyi so that he could teach this woman a lesson.
“Right, enough about Changqing. What about you? When do you plan to get married and have a child?” Ruan Yang looked at Duoyao with a smile.
“Me?” Duoyao’s face reddened. “I haven’t thought about it yet.”
“I heard Yan Molun stayed by your side every day as your bodyguard, all for your sake,” Ruan Yang said enviously. “You should just agree if a man who’s so willing to sacrifice for you proposes to you. To be honest, there are still good men out there but there are even more wolves in sheep’s clothing. If you meet a nice guy, you should cherish him.”
“Mm.” Duoyao nodded. “Enough about me. Hasn’t there been a single man who pursued you in Norway?”
“There have been,” Ruan Yang said thoughtfully. “But I just felt something was missing. Like distrust.”
“Distrust?” Changqing was shocked.
“Mm.” Ruan Yang spread her hands. “I don’t know why, but every time a man started sweet-talking and pursuing me, I would start to think that maybe this man was out to cheat me. Now, I’m turned off by men who keep sweet-talking. I tend to think they’re trying to get close to me because they want to sleep with me. Don’t you think that’s scary?”
