An Junxi was inevitably anxious due to insufficient breast milk, but gradually felt relieved with the doctor and her husband’s reassurance. Three days later, she returned ho from the hospital.
The dia learned that Mrs. Gu had given birth to a son and stayed outside the hospital all day, hoping to catch a glimpse of President Gu’s second son.
The birth of the second son was a happy event. Uncle Wei didn’t want any conflict with the dia. On behalf of the president, he handed each mber of the dia a big red envelope and said, "Our Young Madam needs rest. We hope dia friends will give her so space. The second son’s hundred-day banquet will naturally invite dia representatives to attend. Thank you for understanding."
Uncle Wei’s words were both celebratory and sincere, especially with the thick red envelopes in hand, which felt like finding gold.
The reporters thought that President Gu was employing a strategy of courtesy before resorting to force. With the envelopes in hand, they knew better than to act recklessly if they wanted to stay relevant in the industry.
With a clear understanding, the reporters said a lot of kind words before leaving, and both parties were very pleased.
Although it was the Spring Equinox, the weather was still a bit chilly. Mrs. An dressed her daughter warmly and insisted she wear a hat before going out, saying, "You can’t get any wind on you, be careful not to catch a cold."
An Junxi watched her mom busying herself and suggested she rest for a while, "We have many servants at ho. Mom, you shouldn’t tire yourself. Have a break."
Mrs. An replied, "I’m very healthy. Taking care of Jing Yue throughout college won’t be a problem!"
The nanny admired Mrs. An, truly a representative of a good mother.
Gu Yikun wrapped a scarf around his wife’s neck and held An Junxi as they descended the stairs to get into the car. The nanny followed behind, carrying the baby.
Uncle Wei had cleared the dia, so there were no reporters obstructing at the hospital entrance, and the car smoothly left the hospital to return to the Gu Family Villa.
Gu Jingxiu had purposely skipped school today to stay ho and welco his little brother.
Gu Yikun held An Junxi as he entered the master bedroom. He carefully placed her on the bed, and An Junxi said, "I’m a bit hot, I want to open the window."
Gu Yikun gently wiped her sweat, "No opening windows, no getting out of bed. You can’t catch any wind. Be good. Once you’re out of postpartum recovery, I’ll take you out to play." He spoke tenderly as if coaxing a child.
An Junxi knew that improper recovery during postpartum would lead to worse health later, so she obediently agreed, "Okay then."
The master bedroom had an extra small bed added; next to it was the room assigned to the postpartum care worker, Sister Xu, who was selected through a rigorous screening process for her rich experience. She said, "Madam, I promise I will take good care of the second son."
An Junxi knew Sister Xu was selected by Uncle Wei and had helped nurous wealthy ladies through postpartum, trustworthy and experienced.
She said, "Our child’s na is Jing Yue, you can call him that too. There’s not much to fret over with children."
Sister Xu nodded with a smile, thinking the Madam was indeed approachable, just like how the dia portrayed her.
The baby was temporarily placed on the small bed in the master bedroom, with Jingxiu and Ai Xi watching over him, their eyes glued to their little brother.
Jing Yue slept while blowing bubbles, completely unaware of how tiny he appeared in his siblings’ eyes.
Gu Jingxiu wanted to touch his brother. After specially washing his hands, he gently touched his little hand, "Brother’s hand is so small."
Little Ai Xi followed, "Brother is so tiny, was I like this when I was a baby?"
When she was a baby? She spoke as if she were an adult now.
An Junxi laughed hearing this, and Sister Xu also laughed, "Little Miss, aren’t you talking about your own baby self?"
Ai Xi said, "I’ve grown up, I’m a big sister now."
Gu Yikun squatted and hugged his daughter, "That’s right, Ai Xi is a big sister now."
Ai Xi asked her dad again, "Was I this small when I was a baby, Dad?"
Gu Yikun felt a pang in his heart as he kissed his daughter’s cheek, "Yes, Ai Xi was just this small when she was born. But at that ti, Daddy wasn’t by Mommy’s side and couldn’t hold you."
"Why weren’t you beside Mommy?"
Gu Yikun’s eyes darkened, and he replied, "Daddy wasn’t good, couldn’t watch you being born."
An Junxi didn’t want her husband to ntion sad things again, so she asked the kids if they had eaten yet. Ai Xi ca to her mom’s side and said, "I ate a whole bowl of food myself. I didn’t need brother to feed . I want to grow tall so I can play with brother in the future."
An Junxi patted her daughter’s hair, "Ai Xi is great, keep it up."
Little Ai Xi asked, "When can we play with brother? He’s so small now."
An Junxi said, "Not until brother can walk. Then Ai Xi, as the big sister, can teach him."
Ai Xi proudly announced, "I can do it, I can teach brother."
Gu Jingxiu said, "Then I’ll teach brother to ride a bike. Later, we can ride horses. That’s so cool!"
An Junxi smiled with gratitude, looking forward to Jing Yue growing up but also not wanting ti to pass too quickly.
Wondering what kind of personality Jing Yue would have, she guessed he’d probably be a little follower to his siblings.
An Junxi began her long and painful postpartum recovery. As her stomach and intestines gradually got better, the nanny and her mom took turns stewing milk-stimulating supplents for her every day, without repeating any dish.
An Junxi felt nauseous from eating them, finding it too greasy. If this continued, she would gain ten pounds.
Gu Yikun worried his wife couldn’t eat, so he said, "I’ll eat with you."
The nanny told the young master not to interfere, "This is soup for won, young master, what are you doing here?"
Gu Yikun touched his nose; he just wanted his wife to feel a bit better.
To ensure she had enough breast milk for the baby, An Junxi compelled herself to eat at every al, consuming whatever the nanny stewed without being picky.
Fortunately, her efforts paid off. Her body gradually beca plump, sufficient for feeding the baby.
The baby needed milk every few hours, sotis being well-behaved, other tis having a hungry stomach but not wanting to eat, causing An Junxi a lot of pain from the biting.
In pain and on the verge of tears, An Junxi said, "This little rascal keeps biting !"
Gu Yikun couldn’t stand it and "threatened" the kid, saying, "If you bite mommy again, I’ll spank you!"
The little baby didn’t understand anything but spat milk at daddy, acting cheeky.
Gu Yikun angrily said, "Stop feeding him, I’ll eat!"
Sister Xu was just about to enter but quickly turned back, thinking, my goodness, the president seems cold to others but like this towards his wife!
An Junxi blushed and scolded, "What nonsense are you saying, competing with the kid for food?"
Gu Yikun mischievously approached her, his face close to her ear, saying, "Wife, I’m hungry too. I want to eat."
The baby sohow seed to understand daddy’s words and imdiately defended his "bowl", eating rrily.
An Junxi asked her husband to stop fooling around, feeling embarrassed, "It’s rare for the baby to drink milk obediently, don’t cause trouble."
Gu Yikun stopped fooling around and sat beside his wife. She had recently gained so weight, feeling soft and comfortable. He often wanted to be close to her.
An Junxi didn’t want her husband so close, knowing she had gotten chubbier and feeling insecure, "Hubby, do you think I’m too fat now?"
"Not at all, just right."
"Really?"
