Seeing that Yan Qianyi did not react, Mu Yunlie called out to her a few more tis but still got no response.
He suddenly panicked, turned his head, glared at the row of dical staff standing behind him, and asked angrily, "What’s going on? What’s wrong with her?!"
A doctor cautiously said, "Lord Commander, please calm down. President Yan is just exhausted and has fallen asleep due to fatigue."
Mu Yunlie paused, then looked at the worn-out Yan Qianyi, "Just asleep?"
"Yes, you need not worry, President Yan had a very smooth delivery."
"That’s... that’s good..." Mu Yunlie sighed with relief.
He was almost scared to death.
The young nurses giggled secretly.
The Lord Commander being so anxious about his wife was really handso and quite enviable.
The next day, Yan Qianyi was discharged and went ho.
It was the first ti the house had been so lively.
Yan Qianyi rested in a room upstairs.
While downstairs, Nangong Xiaoxue was showing everyone the chubby little fellow she was cradling.
"Ah Lie, co hold him, you haven’t held the little Xiao Ah Lie since he was born," Nangong Xiaoxue said to Mu Yunlie.
Mu Yunlie looked embarrassed, "I... I can’t, I’m afraid of hurting him."
Although he had already taken the initiative to learn and practice with a fake doll.
But holding the real thing, he still couldn’t manage.
Everyone laughed out loud.
Old Lady Yan said, "Just be careful, you won’t hurt him."
Mu Yunlie was still a bit worried, his hands were used to handling cold equipnt with considerable force.
He was afraid of hurting the baby that Qianyi had struggled so hard to give birth to.
Yan Yao asked eagerly, "Duchess, may I hold him?"
Since yesterday till now, he hadn’t gotten a chance to hold the little one, as everyone was vying to hold him.
"Here," Nangong Xiaoxue passed the little guy to Yan Yao, "Let the great uncle hold our little Xiao Ah Lie."
Mu Yunlie said, "Grandmother, his na is already decided, it’s Mu Zerui, how can you keep forgetting?"
Because the little guy looked so much like him, nobody rembered the na and just called him Xiao Ah Lie, especially the grandparents and the people from the Mu Family.
Nangong Xiaoxue smiled, "Alright, alright, I’ll rember, his na is Ruirui. Mainly because he really looks exactly like you did when you were little, looking at him is like seeing you as a child."
"Yes," Mu Huaner said. "He really does look exactly like how Ah Lie looked when he was little"
When Mu Yunlie was born, although Mu Huaner was only seven years old, since she was raised by Mu Feng, she often held Mu Yunlie in her childhood and rembered clearly how baby Mu Yunlie looked.
Nangong Xiaoxue passed Mu Zerui to Yan Yao, Andelle nervously reminded from the side, "Be careful, go slow."
Yan Yao carefully took Mu Zerui, and his movents were surprisingly standard and skilled.
Seeing this, everyone praised Yan Yao for holding him well.
Mu Huaner said, "Ah Lie, look at how well Prince Yao holds him, you should try too, you can’t always not hold him."
"Well... I’ll give it a try," Mu Yunlie reached out his hand.
He too wanted to hold his and Qianyi’s little baby, but since it was only the second day, Ruirui was just too tiny and he was afraid of not holding him properly.
Yan Yao passed Mu Zerui over.
As the two n transferred the baby, people nearby nervously reminded, "Be careful, go slow, slow, that’s right..."
Finally, Mu Yunlie took Mu Zerui into his arms.
But his movents were very unstandard, his arms extrely stiff.
Old Lady Yan said, "Ah Lie, relax a bit, support Ruirui’s bottom with your left hand and his head with your right arm."
Mu Yunlie almost held his breath, barely daring to move.
This was way too difficult for him!
Much harder than researching new types of weapons.
The little guy was too small, his body soft and squishy, as if he had no bones at all.
He was genuinely afraid he would hurt him with any careless move.
Seeing Mu Yunlie hold the baby so stiffly and nervously, everyone burst into laughter.
Nangong Jie said, "We finally see where Ah Lie lacks talent."
Hearing this, the laughter around grew even louder.
Ever since he was young, Mu Yunlie excelled in everything and quickly learned anything he hadn’t encountered before.
This was the first ti Nangong Jie saw Mu Yunlie struggling with sothing he couldn’t handle.
At that mont, Mu Zerui’s soft, chubby little fingers moved and rubbed his eyes.
The next mont, the little guy’s thick, curly eyelashes fluttered.
"Shh!" Mu Yunlie quickly said, "I think he’s about to wake up!"
Everyone hurried to look, and saw Mu Zerui slowly opening his eyes.
Andelle exclaid in delight, "Ah! Ruirui has opened his eyes for the first ti, and it’s in Daddy’s arms."
Mu Zerui’s eyes were fully open now.
Though surrounded by people, his gaze fixed solely on Mu Yunlie.
His big, clear eyes were filled with bewildered curiosity, and he even tilted his head slightly.
As if he were saying, "Huh? Is this handso man really my daddy?"
As Mu Yunlie and the little one locked eyes, seeing the baby’s confused yet curious expression made his heart almost lt, and a gentle smile naturally appeared on his face.
But suddenly, the little one uncourteously shut his eyes and started wailing with his mouth wide open.
Mu Yunlie startled, "What happened!"
Everything was fine just a mont ago.
Why the sudden outburst?
Was he dissatisfied with him as a father?
Or did he accidentally hurt him?
Or was it his smile that scared him?
Pei Yuexuan once ntioned that his smile was frightening.
Only Yan Qianyi said his smile was attractive.
"Aunt Xue! Aunt Xue!" Mu Yunlie hurriedly called out in panic.
With everyone inexperienced and the elderly having not dealt with newborns for many years, panic ensued.
Aunt Xue walked over, saw the baby pouting and sticking out his tongue, and smiled, "Son-in-law, don’t be nervous, there’s no problem, Ruirui is just hungry. Babies can’t express their needs and only use crying to communicate with their parents. I’ll take him upstairs now so the miss can feed him."
"Okay, hurry." Mu Yunlie awkwardly handed the little one to Aunt Xue.
Upstairs in the bedroom, Yan Chuhua sat beside Yan Qianyi’s bed.
"Qianyi, when I was waiting outside the delivery room yesterday, I heard you and it sounded so painful. I don’t dare to have a baby now. Look at you, you looked so haggard the mont after giving birth."
Yan Qianyi smiled, "Giving birth does drain vitality, it’s normal, and it will recover slowly. Indeed, it’s both painful and hard during childbirth, but the mont you see the baby, all the pain feels worth it."
"Being a mother is truly great."
"Of course, mothers are the greatest in the world. You’ll understand when you beco a mother yourself soday."
"I understand now just by looking at you. I’ll be nicer to my mom in the future, I can’t make her angry anymore."
"My giving birth made you grow up and beco sensible."
"Exactly, I am a godmother now!"
Just then, Aunt Xue ca in holding Mu Zerui, with Mu Yunlie following behind her.
