"Dad!" Ding Long interrupted his father-in-law directly, repeatedly explaining, "Dad, I love Jinshi, and I love our daughter. Dad, we’ve already thought of a na for the child; let’s call her Ding Baobei. My daughter is the treasure in my hand! Dad, I can’t change my parents’ attitude, and I’m really sorry, but I swear I won’t let Jinshi and our daughter be wronged. I don’t want to go back to that house. I’ll fulfill my obligation to support them, but in other respects, however they treat my daughter is how I’ll treat them."
After hearing this, Ding’s father nodded and humd in agreent, the emotions in his eyes also fading away. As he thought, Ding Long would be a good husband and father.
However, Ding Long’s words also gave Ding’s father peace of mind. Ding’s father was most worried that Ding Long’s parents’ attitude might gradually influence him, or even make Ding Long feel caught between his parents and his wife and eventually tire of the constant diation.
Being a parent, Ding’s father admittedly felt that Ding Long’s words were a bit disrespectful, but as Ding Jinshi’s father, seeing how excessive the in-laws’ actions were, Ding Long’s stance actually reassured him. It showed that his daughter was more important to Ding Long than his own parents.
The two elders didn’t stay much longer at the hospital. After chatting with Ding Jinshi for a while, they left. When Ding Long returned after escorting them downstairs, Ding Jinshi had already fallen asleep.
In the small crib, his daughter Ding Baobei was quietly sleeping soundly, with her little finger in her mouth. Just like in the previous life, this habit might take several months to change.
Beside the crib, Baobei’s mother was also sleeping soundly with her eyes closed. Ding Long watched his wife and daughter intently, the tenderness in his eyes like a pond in autumn. Everyone said Baobei looked like him, but he could always see the shadow of Ding Jinshi on their daughter’s face.
One was the woman he finally held in his arms, the other was the daughter he lost and regained. They were the most precious treasures to him in this world, even more important than his own life.
Ding Jinshi had a natural birth, so she went ho after staying in the hospital for five days. As Ding Jinshi needed to rest post-birth, Ding Long arranged for Yima to move in. The baby’s room was also ready, with a temporary bed for Yima. Ding Long had already bought another house which was being renovated, intending to move the whole family there into a bigger place once the child turned a year old.
That night, it beca the first ti the family of three slept on the sa bed. Their young daughter lay in the middle, with Ding Long and Ding Jinshi on either side. Ding Long lay on his side watching his wife and daughter, feeling an indescribable happiness.
During the days Ding Jinshi was in the hospital, Ding Long stayed by her side without leaving. After returning ho, Ding Jinshi thought Ding Long would go back to work at the company.
But the next morning when she opened her eyes, Ding Jinshi heard Ding Long talking to soone in the living room and was puzzled. She called Ding Long in and asked, "At this ti, why haven’t you gone to the company?"
"The company doesn’t have anything so urgent that requires personally. I’ve asked my assistant to bring any docunts here for my review, and then take them back. I’ll stay at ho with you. Once your rest period is over, I’ll return to work." Ding Long replied without thinking, then softly spoke with Yima to prepare breakfast for Ding Jinshi.
Holding her child, Ding Jinshi was stunned. Ding Long was going to stay at ho with her through her recovery? Was there sothing wrong with her hearing?
