Chapter 585. Wen Shujun
“How about the name Wen Shujun?”
Ning Chu’s face was still a bit pale, her rosy lips devoid of color. She wasn’t as pretty as usual, looking more like a fragile vase or an adorable little kitten just brought home.
She wore a soft open-front robe, her gaze watery as it lingered on the baby girl beside her. She whispered gently, “When you grow up, be a pretty little lady~ okay?”
The daughter had just been fed and was now sleeping soundly, completely unresponsive.
“I’m so fed up with Xin Ya and Hei Dou—one dog and one cat, always making a racket, driving me crazy.”
Wen Yang sat by the bed, smiling as he held his wife’s hand. “But their names sound quite elegant; they aren’t really that bothersome.”
Hei Dou, feeling particularly indignant, retorted, “How am I annoying~?”
“Let’s say it’s a hope?” Ning Chu lifted her head and asked, “Is it a succubus?”
Wen Yang forced a wry smile and nodded.
“Honestly, a boy would have been better…”
Having just given birth, Ning Chu felt a fierce sense of possessiveness over her daughter. Just the thought of her daughter being taken away by some other man and bullied made her heart ache.
“Why do I feel like you’re not that happy about being a dad?”
She suddenly noticed that Wen Yang hadn’t really been looking at the baby. Instead, he kept gazing at her face, which made her cheeks blush.
“I look bad now; why do you keep staring at me…?”
“You’re beautiful… You’ve worked hard.”
Wen Yang gently patted his wife’s head.
Ning Chu froze for a moment; his words of comfort instantly sparked a surge of grievance. Her nose twitched, and tears were quick to follow.
She tried to hold back her tears, choking as she buried her face in Wen Yang’s shoulder. “It really hurts! When the doctor sewed me up, I was in so much pain I felt numb…”
Wen Yang’s heart ached as he cradled Ning Chu’s upper body in his arms, listening to her complaints while soothingly patting her frail back.
“It’s okay; it’s all over.”
“I never want to have another baby again; I won’t give in to any more demands!”
“Not having any more, not having any more.”
“My belly still hurts!”
The more he comforted her, the harder Ning Chu cried, going from soft sobs to uncontrollable wails. Her voice became hoarse and dry, her tears and snot making a complete mess of Wen Yang.
Hei Dou stood by the bed, experiencing her sister’s unsightly crying for the first time. Feeling awkward and helpless, her mother pulled her hand and guided her out of the hospital room.
After crying for about ten minutes, the baby was startled awake.
Hearing a “Wah,” Ning Chu quickly freed herself from Wen Yang’s embrace, clumsily picking up her daughter. Her own tears hadn’t dried, but she gently rocked back and forth, her hoarse voice calming the baby. “No crying, no crying~ don’t wake up your sleep~”
“Should I help? You rest well.”
“Can you hold a baby?”
“I learned a bit when Mom was teaching me earlier.”
“Just be careful…”
Ning Chu carefully placed the baby into Wen Yang’s arms, and when she saw her husband handling the child without any issues, she felt relieved. “I’ll go change my sanitary pad…”
“Sanitary pad?”
Wen Yang saw her trying to get up and hurriedly reached out to help her, but with the baby in his arms, he was caught in a dilemma. “I’ll call Mom over; you don’t have to get up by yourself.”
“Alright.” Ning Chu didn’t push it. Her torn wound still hurt badly.
She thought after having the baby she could finally relax, but it felt like having her period again, needing to keep changing sanitary pads to avoid staining her pants with discharge.
Her mother and Hei Dou entered the room, each supporting Ning Chu’s arms as they helped her to the bathroom.
“Sis, what’s it like to give birth?”
Ning Chu’s expression froze for a moment as she suddenly recalled Yan Xin Ya’s description. She had found it disgusting at the time, but now it felt extraordinarily fitting.
“It’s like pushing out a lump?”
“Ew~ that’s so gross, sis.”
Ning Chu’s lips twitched as she sat down in the bathroom, shooing away her mother and Hei Dou, then shutting the door.
Hei Dou would understand that feeling when she eventually gave birth…
After having a baby, Ning Chu felt all her modesty stripped away. She thought she wouldn’t be able to handle nursing in front of others, but her first time was under the nurse’s guidance, and it hurt like crazy.
Who knew a tiny baby could have so much strength? Plus, her lower abdomen ached along with it. The pain nearly made her instinctively toss her daughter away.
After ten minutes of struggle in the bathroom, she returned to the hospital bed, supported by her mother and Hei Dou, and immediately anxiously called out to Wen Yang, “Is she sleeping?”
“Yep, I’ve got a talent for taking care of babies.”
Wen Yang gently laid the sleeping baby back beside Ning Chu and asked, “When can we be discharged?”
“If we’re lucky, maybe tomorrow?” Ning Chu looked over at her mother.
But her mother shook her head. “Better stay a couple more days to avoid any accidents.”
“But I don’t want to stay in the hospital… Mom, can you teach Wen Yang how to change diapers? I’ll make a call~”
Last time, Yan Xin Ya called Ning Chu to brag after having her baby; this time, she definitely wanted to call too.
“What’s up?”
The call was quickly answered, and Yan Xin Ya was lounging on her bed, enjoying TV.
“You said it was easy! Where’s the easy part?! I feel like I’m dying from the pain!”
The sudden accusation clearly caught Wolf Sister off guard. She stared blankly at the screen as she scratched her head. “It wasn’t that painful…”
She tilted her head. “Are you really in pain?”
“……”
People’s bodies are completely incomparable.
Some women feel that giving birth is no different from having an upset stomach, while others can’t handle the pain and wish they were dead.
Clearly, Ning Chu fell into the latter category, having listened to the nonsense of the former.
“Is the baby a boy or a girl?!” Yan Xin Ya quickly perked up, asking eagerly.
“A girl.”
“That betrothal is settled!” she exclaimed, “Honey! I found a succubus wife for our son! Her mother’s stunning!”
Ning Chu silently rolled her eyes and hung up the phone.
“Still acting so loud even now that you’re a mom.” Wen Yang, who had been listening the whole time, couldn’t help but chuckle. “Do you really want to betroth her to her son?”
Ning Chu shot him a glare. “It was just a joke. If they grew up together, that’d be fine, but they’re so far apart.”
She wasn’t some feudal parent planning to control her child’s marriage.
But she absolutely couldn’t let her daughter become a proper succubus!
Ning Chu glanced at her tiny daughter beside her, unable to imagine the scene of her being a proper succubus, flirtatiously chasing after men… that would be too terrifying!
Just then, her daughter suddenly began to cry without warning.
Everyone immediately gathered nervously around.
“What’s she crying for all of a sudden?”
“Is she hungry? Did she wet her diaper?”
After a frantic check, Ning Chu realized her daughter was indeed hungry.
She cradled the baby and looked up at Wen Yang, her mother, and Hei Dou. After they gradually left the room, she finally opened her robe.
“Let’s get you full and big~ Ouch, that hurts…”
