Part Two: 'Great Sugar of the East' Chapter 152
and left."Hey, where are you going""The film crew."Lu Yaoyao was filming a costume drama in a remote village deep in the mountains outside the city. The roads were difficult to navigate, and Lu Kuo w...The sound of the baby's cry filled the delivery room, loud and wavering. Lu Yaoyao was drenched in sweat, her body suddenly deflated like a punctured balloon, followed by uncontrollable tears.
Gu Ruandong's eyes were also red, he leaned down to kiss her tears, Lu Yao yao's voice was hoarse: "Husband, am I good"
Before, he only called her "baby" when his feelings ran deep, blurting it out involuntarily. Usually, he addressed her formally as "Yao Yao." But now, after his emotions had surged and crashed, even with others around, he didn't feel embarrassed or awkward. She was his treasure, someone he would cherish for his entire life.
Her lips were especially dry from the recent childbirth, so after kissing away her tears, he went on to kiss her lips, wanting to give her some moisture.
As soon as he kissed her lips, Lu YaoYao, even though she was very tired, reflexively extended her tongue and probed into his mouth.
"Ahem..."
The nurse beside them brought the baby over and stood before them, coughed twice as a reminder, "Isn't anyone paying attention to your newborn"
Gu Ruandong and YaoYao then separated.
"Let Mommy see if it's a boy or a girl" The nurse held the baby up to Yaoyao's face.
"Boy." Yaoyao came to herself.
Gu Ruandong then took a serious look at the baby. Well, he was somewhat shocked inside. This was his child with Yaoyao Too ugly!
Lu Yao Yao probably has a tenth-level filter from her mother, looking at the wrinkled and pink little baby, she thinks he's the most handsome in the world.
Outside the delivery room, Lu Kuo was also very excited. He hurriedly called Grandpa and Yao Yao's father to report the good news. Ruan Ruan called the Gu family. Because Yao Yao was born several weeks earlier than her due date, none of the family members had time to rush over. It was a good thing they didn't come, because the scene was already spectacular enough. If the Lu family and the Gu family came, this maternity hospital wouldn't be able to operate anymore.
These days, Lu Yaoyao's mood has been a roller coaster. From Gu Ruandong losing contact to coming back, and then to the sudden arrival of the baby, her spirit has been constantly tense. After experiencing all this in one breath, she relaxed and went back to the hospital ward, sleeping soundly. Several times when doctors and nurses came to check on her, she was still in a deep sleep and needed Gu Ruandong to help her up for the examination. If it weren't for all her vital signs being normal, Gu Ruandong would have suspected something was wrong with her.
After sleeping for a whole day and night, he finally woke up. He felt refreshed and full of energy, like a tiger leaping through the forest. Only then did Gu Ruandong let out a sigh of relief.
After staying in the hospital for a week, they were discharged home. They didn't stay at a confinement center because their house was spacious enough, and Gu Ruandong had hired a professional team to take care of her and the baby. No matter how expensive the confinement center was, it couldn't compare to home.
However, it's a little too lively at home.
Grandfather Lu couldn't come because of his health, but he has a video call with Yayaya every day. Lu Shaoxing was on a business trip before and now also reports once a day. Although he doesn't want to admit that he's going to be a grandfather at such a young age, the title feels awkward, but when he sees Xiao Gululu for the first time, he can't help but want to see her every day.
Gu's mother flew to Senzhou that day and spent every day with Cuiping, rushing around busily, not knowing what to do because she didn't really need to do anything. So, in order to fulfill her duty as a grandmother, she followed the wet nurse every day, "guiding" her on how to prepare formula milk and change diapers, etc.
Lu Kuò and Ruan Ruan are the most normal, they basically don't come, just occasionally video call Yaoyao to say hello.
"The big fellow just stayed at their place, refusing to leave. This made Gu Ruandong quite annoyed with him. He didn't care if Gu Ruandong was annoyed or not, he just said, "I can’t stand being away from my nephew for even a day. You see this kid, how can he be so likable"
In fact, because Xiao Guru was born prematurely and only just reached full term, at home besides the two nannies who took care of him closely and his parents, no one else could see him.
He installed a camera in his room just to satisfy everyone, directly connected to the display screen in the hall so he could watch 24/7.
That is to say, all of them could only watch him from the screen. But even so, it didn't prevent everyone from liking him very much.
Xiao Guru was so small, he already showed his uniqueness. Although he was a little smaller than full-term babies when he was born, thanks to his strong suckling power, in just one month, he had caught up with the normal weight and height. His daily cries couldn't be said to linger like an echo, but rather echoed throughout every corner of the villa.
Gu Ruandong frowned every day as he listened: "Aren't you afraid of losing your voice"
But truly, it's not dumb; it remains incredibly clear every day.
Gu's mother and Da Fang were both very delighted: "This loud crying will surely be the material for great things in the future."
"Yeah, and he has musical talent too. His cries are very rhythmic, not just random crying."
"Yes, my nephew looks like both Mr. Gu and your sister-in-law."
In short, except for Gu Ruantong in this family, everyone else showers him with compliments every day, and they are all genuine and sincere, without a hint of hypocrisy.
In just one month, Gu Ruandong realized that in this household, he would be the only one responsible for discipline and educating the children. The others were probably going to spoil them endlessly.
Well...he refuses to admit it, but there's a hint of jealousy behind this idea. Yao Yao is paying too much attention to the baby. This month, every sentence he says to me starts with "Little Gurgle," and his eyes are completely on her.
And Yaoyao is breastfed and formula-fed. Whenever the little guy cries, filling every corner with sound, as long as Yaoyao holds him and feeds him breast milk, he instantly calms down. He drinks milk while staring at her with his increasingly large round eyes, as if challenging her.
Luckily, YaoYao went to sleep separately that night to ensure her own rest, so he had some time alone with her.
"Not to let him sleep with me, is that not irresponsible" Yaoyao said with some guilt.
"You promise that sleep will help your body recover, so you'll have the energy to take care of him and spend time with him during the day. Quality matters more than quantity." He was telling the truth, but he also had ulterior motives. During the day, Yaoyao belonged to the little guy. At night, she could only belong to him.
Snuggling up behind her, I couldn't help but have some thoughts. Especially with my hands covering her noticeably larger chest, my breathing quickened with each inhale, and Yao Yao took a sharp breath as well.
But, she had just given birth and of course couldn't do anything, so the two could only kiss for a while then stop.
"Yaoyao is still very understanding. She knows that I've completely ignored him recently, so at this time, she whispers in his ear: "Shall I help you with your hands"
He shook his head, afraid she'd get tired arms. She had to hold the baby all day. He'd just bear it for two more months. It wasn't like he hadn't done it before, but Yaoya already knew how to do it herself.
There's this feeling of living under their bed, what's that about the door, and after a while, it returned to silence. She slipped out through the crack in the door, just like a cat.The warm yellow light on the kitchen counter still shone, casting a circle of light...
