Chapter 30 Lovers, Children

ve so happily now," Xue Liping held Yan Luoxi’s hand with infinite感慨, "You can't imagine how shocked and distressed I was when I first saw your appearance; I thought your life had been unhappy. If the...Chapter 30: Lover, Child

Yan Luoxi was awakened by the babbling of a child. It was actually an infant just starting to make sounds. The baby's voice wasn't loud, but it felt like there was some kind of telepathy between her and the child. Despite being extremely tired, she woke up upon hearing the baby’s cries.

She opened her eyes; before her was still the familiar hospital room. Turning her head slightly, she saw Mom and Li An gathered around the crib. Inside, a tiny baby was waving its arms and legs, seemingly waiting for an adult to pick it up.

From where Yan Luoxi lay, she could only see the baby's head and flailing hands and feet. Wanting to get a better look, she leaned forward slightly, which pulled at her incision, causing her to hiss involuntarily.

Hearing her, Li An immediately noticed her and quickly turned to face her, exclaiming joyfully: "Luoxi, you're awake."

Li An hadn't slept all night long. His eyes were bright with excitement, brimming over with happiness that he couldn’t contain. He showed no signs of fatigue at all.

This day was too joyful and touching for him; before Yan Luoxi could say anything, he rushed to her side and gave her an incredibly tight hug.

"Luoxi, thank you, thank you so much. I'm sorry for putting you through this pain." Li An's voice was unexpectedly soft: "Luoxi, our child is such a good baby. He’s really adorable... Thank you so much..."

This woman had given him everything perfect in the world—his lover and his child.

The warm, strong embrace; the affectionate gaze filled with love—all of it made Yan Luoxi, exhausted from her struggle with pain, allow Li An to hold her. She seemed to have forgotten about grievances and arguments. At this moment, both of them were focused on one common goal and shared experience.

"I want to see the child." Yan Luoxi spoke with a gentle emotion. More chapters available at [website].

"Alright, come and see the child," Li An immediately let go of Yan Luoxi, pointing at the crib as if he were showing off a treasure. Although he was infinitely delighted by the arrival of this child, up until now, he still dared not hold the little darling.

"Our little baby is so beautiful." Despite half a night having passed and the child not looking any better than before, in Li An's eyes, his daughter was the most beautiful angel in the world.

Xue Liping had just noticed that Yan Luoxi woke up and wanted to come over to see her daughter. But seeing Li An hugging Yan Luoxi, she didn't feel right about coming over either. She only pretended to bow her head and take care of the baby. Hearing that Yan Luoxi wanted to see the child, she smiled affectionately at her daughter and carefully lifted the child out of the crib.

Yan Luoxi finally clearly saw her own child. The little one had not yet fully opened their eyes, looking small and weak, quite unattractive indeed.

"Mom, she... why is she so ugly" Yan Luoxi bit her lips in disappointment while looking at the baby.

She really couldn't believe that this child was her daughter.

"How can she be ugly" Li An looked at Yan Luoxi with disbelief. "Our baby is so beautiful, with a nose like me and a mouth like me; how could she possibly be ugly"

The child seemed to sense the mother's somewhat disdainful gaze and suddenly burst into loud crying.

Xue Liping hurriedly held the baby and cooed to her. Turning around, she smiled at Yan Luoxi and said, "All newborns are like this. More chapters available at [website]. In a couple of days, when she grows a bit more, she'll be beautiful. When you were born, you looked even uglier..."

"Yeah. You're not ugly either. I'm not ugly either. How could our child be ugly" Li An hurriedly chimed in, as if afraid Yan Luoxi would disdain their child.

At this moment, Yan Luoxi no longer cared about the child's appearance. She was just anxious over the child’s crying and asked worriedly: "Mom, why is the baby crying Is something wrong"

"The baby might be hungry. I'll give her some formula milk first," said Xue Liping. The nanny beside them had already started to prepare the formula for the baby.

Upon hearing Yan Luoxi no longer mentioning the child’s appearance, Li An was relieved and softly asked: "Luoxi, does your cut still hurt Let me moisten your lips with some water."

Yan Luoxi stared at the little baby, ignoring Li An. She only watched as the child's tiny mouth moved around while sucking on the bottle, seemingly content.

Seeing that Yan Luoxi did not respond, Li An seized the opportunity and used a cotton swab dipped in water to gently place it by Yan Luoxi’s lips.

At this point, Yan Luoxi was fully awake. The action made her feel extremely awkward since they had no relationship anymore; Li An should not be serving her like that.

She lightly turned her head to the side and thought for a moment before asking Li An with confusion: "Shouldn’t newborns usually be placed in an infant room Why is our baby here in my ward"

Lian’s heart sank upon seeing Yan Luoxi's evasive action. However, hearing her refer to their child as 'our,' his heart warmed up again. No matter what, they were now connected by the strongest and closest bond in the world.

"According to protocol, newborns should be placed in an infant room. But I was afraid you would want to see the baby, so I had them set up a similar facility here in your ward with dedicated nurses and nannies for the child."

Yan Luoxi nodded and then watched the baby nurse for a while. She eventually fell asleep from exhaustion.

Lǐ n looked at his daughter nursing on one side, and his wife sleeping soundly on the other side... Is there anything more perfect in life than this moment

Sitting between his daughter and wife, he felt an unusual sense of peace and tenderness.

Yan Luoxi fell asleep. The baby fell asleep too. Lǐ n leaned against the bed and also fell into a deep sleep.

Xue Liping and the postpartum caregiver quietly moved to one side, smiling at this family of three who should be together. They sighed softly.

When Yan Luoxi woke up again, it was already the afternoon of the next day. After she could eat something, nutritional supplements, bird’s nest porridge were brought to her repeatedly. She wanted to breastfeed despite having no appetite and forced herself to eat them.

Lǐ n had originally decided that his child would definitely be breastfed until they grew up. Before Yan Luoxi was due to give birth, not only did he hire a postpartum caregiver but also found a wet nurse for the baby in case Yan Luoxi didn’t want or couldn’t produce milk.

Now that Yan Luoxi wanted to breastfeed herself, he was even happier. He came up with ways to get chefs from nearby five-star hotels to prepare fresh lactation meals to help Yan Luoxi quickly nurse her baby.

Ever since the child was born, Lǐ n never left Yan Luoxi’s hospital room. Day and night he stayed in this room, overseeing everything both she and the baby needed for food and clothing. Anything he could do, he would handle personally.

He asked about whether the food had been kept cold properly. He checked how many clothes Yan Luoxi wore. He paid attention to the humidity of the room temperature at all times... big or small matters, he was meticulous and nagging without tiring.oved. She stood beside the director, smiling along with the male and female stars.As Yan Luoxi walked over, she scanned her surroundings where people of all kinds came and went, her eyes unable to tak...
