Chapter 311: Jing Ni Feeds the Child! Husband, do you want to drink as well?
Jing Ni quietly sat up while Li Mo wasn’t paying attention.
Leaning against the headboard, she looked at the child in her arms with a loving expression.
Before meeting Li Mo, she had never thought she would one day become a mother.
Recalling her previous experiences in the Luo Network and comparing them to her current stable and happy life.
Everything felt like a dream, almost like a world apart.
“A name, well, I’ve thought of one.”
Li Mo gently teased the baby in his arms, smiling as he said, “Let’s call her Yan.”
“Salt?”
Hong Liang blinked in confusion, thinking it would be better if she named her.
“Anything is better than your ‘salt’.”
“It’s just the single character ‘Yan’, not salt.”
Sister Zi helplessly covered her forehead and explained.
“Do you think everyone has the same naming level as you?”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Hong Liang stuck out her tongue, “I misheard it. But why ‘Yan’?”
Not only was she curious, but the others also wondered why Li Mo chose the name “Yan” for the child.
Li Mo suddenly couldn’t help but smile.
He slowly explained, “Because when I first met my wife, she didn’t say a word; calling her Yan is like commemorating our first encounter at the pavilion.”
He held the swaddled baby in one hand and draped his arm over Jing Ni’s shoulder.
The first time he met Jing Ni in Han, she hadn’t spoken at all.
No matter the question, she would only nod or shake her head.
Everyone, including himself, thought she was mute.
The pavilion master said that a mute and a blind person make a perfect match.
This is what led him to bring back such a big mistake.
When Jing Ni heard him mention this past event, her cheeks involuntarily turned a bit red.
“Let me hold him; you can hold the eldest sister.”
Zijin, who had been thinking about holding the child a little longer, seized the opportunity to snatch Xiao Yan’er back.
While playfully teasing, she said, “Xiao Yan’er, from now on, you’ll be with your aunt, okay? When you grow up, aunt will help you do business.”
“Why would it be boring to do business? Just follow me; I’ll take you to start a fire.”
Yan Lingji, unwilling to back down, leaned toward Zijin and tempted the child in her arms.
“You’d better teach your disciple first; why not come with me? I’ll teach you how to make fragrances.”
Lady Mingzhu also squeezed her way in front of the two and said.
Hong Liang crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked sideways at Lady Mingzhu.
Pouting, she said, “Hmph, I won’t follow you!”
“Why learn about fragrances? Isn’t it better to learn real skills?”
“Come with me, come with me; I’ll teach you swordsmanship!”
Lady Mingzhu glanced back at Hong Liang, disdainfully rolling her eyes: “Your mediocre skills are better left alone; if we’re talking about learning swordplay, the mistress is on a whole different level compared to you.”
What she said wasn’t wrong; Jing Ni’s swordsmanship is indeed rare to find even across the whole world.
If Xiao Yan’er truly learns swordplay in the future, a few moves from Jing Ni would surpass Hong Liang’s.
As for what the child wants to learn later, Li Mo and Jing Ni would not interfere.
Interest is the best teacher for a child.
Of course, the precondition is that she can’t be like Hong Liang, whose enthusiasm lasts only three minutes.
However, with the powerful genes of Li Mo and Jing Ni, the child’s future talent wouldn’t be too poor, regardless.
“What are you still doing here? It’s time for the wife to rest.”
Duanmu Rong had just come back after washing up and saw a group still discussing in Jing Ni’s room, promptly reminding everyone.
Although Jing Ni’s physical condition is stronger than ordinary people, she had just gone through a great ordeal; if she doesn’t rest well, it’s hard to avoid some hidden illness.
Hong Liang raised a finger: “Just stay a little longer, just a little.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiao Yan’er suddenly burst into tears.
Holding her, Sister Zi was instantly flustered.
“Hey, hey, hey? Why are you crying? Is something wrong?”
Lady Mingzhu scolded, “Can you even hold her? Give her to me!”
“You can’t do it either, let me give it a try.”
Hong Liang rolled up her sleeves, revealing two snowy white arms, eager to give it a shot.
Lady Hu stepped forward and placed her hand by Xiao Yan’er’s mouth.
The little girl immediately opened her mouth and began to suck on her soft fingertip.
Seeing this, Lady Hu smiled and said, “It’s okay, she’s just hungry.”
Although she had never given birth, Nongyu had raised her since childhood.
She still knew a thing or two about parenting.
“Bring the child over, I’ll feed her.”
Jing Ni opened her arms, her voice as gentle as the motion of receiving the baby.
Just as she was about to reach for the ties at her chest, she suddenly hesitated.
A bit embarrassed, she glanced at everyone.
“Everyone go out, let the lady rest.”
Li Mo knew very well what the reason was.
Jing Ni was especially shy in front of others.
Li Mo spoke, and only then did everyone reluctantly disperse.
Once everyone left, Jing Ni quickly undid the ties on her clothes.
Xiao Yan’er seemed to have built-in radar, immediately latching on with her little mouth.
Li Mo couldn’t help but twitch his lips.
“You little thing, you’re even better at this than your father.”
Originally, Li Mo had planned to hire a wet nurse, but Jing Ni disagreed.
She felt it was better to feed her own child to forge a closer bond.
Besides, during this time, she was not doing anything else, just focusing on carrying the baby.
Eating well and drinking plenty, even before the child was born, she already started producing milk.
There was enough supply, definitely more than enough!
Jing Ni was concentrated on feeding Xiao Yan’er.
Duanmu Rong was observing her for the first time while she was eating.
Suddenly, a loud gulp was heard in the room.
Duanmu Rong and Jing Ni both turned to look at the upright Li Mo.
Jing Ni blinked her big, sparkling eyes and thought: Husband, did you just swallow?
Duanmu Rong looked a bit puzzled: It seemed like someone just swallowed.
It wasn’t the little Yan Er who was still nursing.
Nor was it the Jing Ni.
It certainly wasn’t her either.
In that room, only Li Mo was left!
But… why are you swallowing hard?
Li Mo feigned innocence and said, “What’s wrong? Why are you all staring at me? It’s just a normal sound for a baby drinking milk.”
Good daughter, this burden is only for you to bear!
Who told you to eat so heartily that even your father got ‘tempted’!
The two women turned their gaze towards little Yan Er again.
Is that so?
Let’s just consider it that way!
Newborn babies have a small appetite; after only a few sips, 5.0 little Yan Er was full and fell asleep again.
Duanmu Rong withdrew her gaze and nodded, “Everything is normal.”
Jing Ni straightened her collar and smiled, “Thank you for your hard work, Rong Er. You should take a break for a while.”
During this time, Duanmu Rong had been diligently taking care of her, never leaving her side.
Jing Ni genuinely liked this cold exterior but warm interior goddess doctor.
Duanmu Rong did not decline, glanced at Li Mo, and said, “Alright, call me if you need anything.”
After saying that, she returned to the adjacent room.
“Honey, rest well. I’ll come to see you in a bit.”
Li Mo noticed Jing Ni’s tired expression and said sympathetically.
Just as he was about to get up and leave, his sleeve was grabbed.
Li Mo hadn’t even had the chance to ask what was wrong.
Jing Ni, blushing, glanced at the door that Duanmu Rong had carefully closed upon leaving.
Biting her lip, in a voice as soft as a mosquito’s buzz, she asked, “Husband, would you like to drink?”
