784 Ye Xiaong's Visit
More than twenty days later, Ye Xiaong called to say she was coming over to visit. Shu Pan was so touched she felt like crying; being stuck with no one to talk to was beyond boring.
That afternoon, she stayed in her room, with both Song Can and Auntie Li insisting she avoid going out for so fresh air. Close to noon, there was a knock at the door. Auntie Li went to open it and found Ye Xiaong standing there, without her baby.
With her shoulder-length hair, gray high-waisted casual pants, and a thin gray-blue sweater over a black cardigan, Ye Xiaong looked stunning. Her figure was exquisite, her deanor radiant. She didn't look like soone who had just given birth.
"Xiaong, you've recovered so well," Shu Pan said, marveling at her friend's porcelain-like complexion as she walked in, montarily stunned by her transformation.
"Oh, don't even ntion it. That little girl is so clingy, I can't go anywhere. She sleeps during the day and wants to play at night when she's awake. I'm on the verge of a breakdown. Lately, He Ming has been taking care of her at night so I can get so sleep," Ye Xiaong lanted.
With such a routine, it would be strange if her recovery were slow.
"You should adjust her sleep schedule. You could take her out during the day. Why didn't you bring her today?" Shu Pan asked curiously.
"Don't get started. It's all He Ming's fault for spoiling her during the postpartum period. She got used to being held all the ti, and it's hard to break the habit now. Today, her grandmother ca over and offered to take care of her, so I took the chance to co out," Ye Xiaong explained. Since her daughter was born, her relationship with Mother He had improved significantly. After all, now that they had a child together, what was there to hold a grudge about?
At her age, she should be spoiling her grandchildren and enjoying life, not squabbling with her daughter-in-law.
"That's good. Let the elders spend more ti with the baby," Shu Pan said, happy for Ye Xiaong. After all, it was better to have family harmony. With no more petty conflicts between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, He Ming wouldn't have to be caught in the middle anymore, just like her and Song Can.
She felt everything was just fine now, with the family being harmonious and joyful.
"Yeah, that's what I'm thinking too. After you're done with your confinent period, we'll take the baby out to play together," Ye Xiaong agreed, thinking it was a great idea.
"Okay, I'll be out of it," Shu Pan complained, "Look at , all I do at ho is eat or sleep. I've gained loads of fat."
Yesterday, she was shocked when she looked in the mirror, but Gu Shaoting comforted her, saying she looked just right now and that he liked it.
She didn't know if he was being sincere or not, but she felt like she had really put on weight, and it made her feel a bit insecure.
"Girl, I think you look pretty good now. You were too thin before," Ye Xiaong said earnestly, giving her a serious look. Shu Pan's complexion was even fairer now, her figure more curvaceous, emitting a subtle charm. Even though she was wearing ho clothes, it couldn't hide her good figure.
"Nonsense, why do you all have the sa taste?" Shu Pan retorted, sounding a bit annoyed.
"Trust the public's opinion, and you won't be so obsessed," Ye Xiaong said cheerfully.
Shu Pan glanced at the baby boy, still sleeping soundly, his little mouth making cute sucking sounds.
Following Shu Pan's gaze, Ye Xiaong looked at the baby on the bed, feeling oddly amazed. Why did her godson seem cuter than her own daughter?
"My godson is really adorable and well-behaved," Ye Xiaong said sowhat enviously.
"You didn't see him when he's being fussy," Shu Pan quipped.
After Ye Xiaong left, the baby woke up. Shu Pan carefully picked him up from the bed, and Gu Baobei seed to recognize his mommy, grinning widely. His eyes were big and dark, like grapes.
