Gu Qili, although she had a natural birth, also had stitches and cannot move yet, lying on the bed looking weak and frail.
She had long known that childbirth was painful, but she never imagined it would be this painful. At the peak of her contractions, she even considered asking the doctor for a cesarean section, but thinking about the benefits of natural childbirth for the baby, she gritted her teeth and endured.
Being young, the labor didn’t last long, and surprisingly, Niannian was born right at midnight. The doctor was very surprised when recording this in the baby’s handbook. Such a little baby sure knows how to pick a ti.
"Qili, Niannian looks like you. Look at his eyes, his eyebrows," Tang Tianyou stood next to the baby carriage, smiling and playing with him.
The newly born baby was especially quiet, apart from crying when he was just born, he lay obediently in the carriage.
"He can’t even open his eyes, and you already see the resemblance to ," Gu Qili scoffed softly, her gaze tenderly falling on Niannian’s face. Honestly, when the doctor first placed Niannian in front of her, she saw Mu Shuoqian’s shadow on his face.
"Niannian, quickly call godfather,"
"Niannian, don’t sleep, co and play with godfather."
Gu Qili expressed helplessness, "Tang Tianyou, he’s so young, and you’re asking him to call you godfather and to play with you. Do you think he’s Nezha?"
"My godson is going to be even more amazing than Nezha," Tang Tianyou said as he stared at Niannian, who suddenly puckered his lips a few tis and began to cry.
He imdiately beca flustered: "Godson is crying, godson is crying!"
The nanny ca over, skillfully picked up Niannian, and put the prepared bottle to his mouth,
Tang Tianyou then smiled with a grin: "So he was hungry."
After the nanny fed him, she placed Niannian next to Gu Qili, their faces close together,
Gu Qili gently touched Niannian’s small face and softly said in her heart: Niannian, mama loves you.
The next morning, Mickey and Chen Yishu, along with Mickey’s parents, all ca over, and everyone was so happy around Niannian.
The little guy was very well-behaved, not crying nor fussing, and the voices of everyone chatting did not disturb him at all.
After the nanny fed Niannian again, Mickey wanted to try holding him. Mickey carefully took Niannian in her arms, her movents sowhat awkward, but her face filled with joy.
"Oh dear." Mickey suddenly yelped as a warm sensation fell on her arms and palms — Niannian had urinated.
Gu Qili couldn’t help but laugh, giving a thumbs up and praising: "Son is aweso."
Chen Yishu on the side was gloating: "That’s boy’s urine, many people use it to cure illnesses. You’re lucky not to be charged for this pee."
Although urinated on, Mickey didn’t mind the dirt at all and, looking down at Niannian,
"Niannian is smiling, he’s actually smiling!" Mickey exclaid joyfully.
After Mickey held him, Mickey’s mother also wanted a turn, gently swaying her arms while enviously saying, "I wonder when this old woman will get to hold a great-grandson.
Mickey rolled her eyes: "Just you wait."
When everyone had left,
Tang Tianyou took a phone call and walked to the window to answer it, a nurse ca in and handed a thermoter to Gu Qili: "Miss Gu, please take your temperature."
Gu Qili placed Niannian in the baby carriage and took the thermoter.
"Miss Gu, your child is truly beautiful, it’s rare to see such a small yet gorgeous and tender child, he will definitely be a handso man in the future." The nurse stood in front of the baby carriage, smiling and assessing.
Gu Qili smiled and said "thank you".
After taking her temperature, she handed the thermoter to the nurse, still looking at Niannian, seeming really fond of him.
"Nurse, it’s done," Gu Qili reminded softly.
The nurse then took the thermoter, looked at it, and said, "Temperature is normal, Miss Gu, please rest."
After Tang Tianyou finished his phone call, he walked towards her against the light and seeing that Gu Qili was sowhat distracted, asked, "What are you thinking about?"
Gu Qili looked in the direction the nurse left and shook her head.
She must be overthinking it. Ever since the incident with Xiao Mi, she has been suspicious of everything. When a nurse glanced a few tis too many at Niannian, she beca suspicious of her.
"Tianyou,
Not understanding why she asked that, Tang Tianyou confidently replied, "Of course, top-notch qualifications, it’s the best hospital in Aus City."
"That’s good then."
Finally understanding her concerns, Tang Tianyou sat beside Niannian, smiling and looking at him, "Don’t worry, my bodyguards are outside the door, no one will ss around. Once you’re better, we’ll go ho."
Go ho?
These warm words left Gu Qili defenseless. Since the death of Gu Dezhong, she had been displaced, living mostly in school. Later, she t Mu Shuoqian, and his Jingshan beca her ho. She once believed that place would be her warm nest for life.
She also wanted to go ho, but she knew Tang Tianyou’s ho wasn’t her ho. Having been taken care of by him during this period, she felt she owed him too much, and also brought him a lot of misunderstandings. In the future, she didn’t want to disturb him anymore but just wanted to live quietly with Niannian, and reoperate her father’s vineyard.
She stared at the sleeping Niannian, her lips curling into a happy smile. Her ho was given by Niannian.

Qiu Lan stared at the photo of the mother and son, her eyes growing deeper, almost crushing the phone in her hand.
Along with the photo, a few hospital bills were also sent, with a ssage: Congratulations, your grandson.
"Scoundrel." Qiu Lan slamd the phone onto the coffee table, her finely maintained face twisted unusually due to anger and shock,
"Zhong, Mike, Billy, co here." After her outburst, Qiu Lan called her three bodyguards outside.
The three burly n stood by her side in unison, respectfully calling out, "Madam."
"Yes, madam." The three n responded in unison and then withdrew.
Qiu Lan picked up her phone again and looked at the photo for a while. Although the child had not been born for a few days, one could already make out traces of Mu Shuoqian in his features.
Blood is thicker than water. Although she disapproved of his mother, this child was still her direct grandson, she really couldn’t bring herself to harm him and then be done with it.
Thinking this, Qiu Lan sent a ssage to Qiu Yufei: Feifei, go to this hospital and find Gu Qili, see if you can persuade her to hand over the child to us.
Qiu Yufei imdiately sent back a puzzled emoji: Mom, did Qili have a baby? Is it my brother’s?
"Yes, I only just found out myself, you go quickly." If it can be resolved peacefully, she didn’t want to use thods that would make everyone uncomfortable.
"Does my brother know?"
"He might not know yet, I’m not entirely sure, go find out first."
"Okay, mom, congratulations on having a grandson."
Qiu Lan truly couldn’t feel happy at all, feeling as if sothing was blocking her heart, she pulled up the number she had just used to send the ssage, and then instructed people to investigate the unknown number.
Who sent these photos to her, and what was their motive?
The owner of the number hadn’t yet been tracked down when another ssage ca in: Want to get your grandson back? I can help you, contact anyti.

Gu Qili has been sowhat immobilized these past few days, needing the maternity nurse to take care of getting out of bed, but whenever she had the ti, she still fed Niannian milk. She earnestly learned the position for feeding from the maternity nurse. The little guy was enjoying his al and soon finished the bottle and fell into a deep sleep.
"Miss Gu, Niannian is really well-behaved. Apart from crying a few tis when he is hungry or needs a diaper change, he’s always so obedient." The maternity nurse was sterilizing the bottle, praising as she couldn’t help but start a casual chat with Gu Qili, "Miss Gu, Mr. Tang is really good to you. Look at those two bodyguards at the door, they stand there like door gods every day, scaring other patients into taking detours."
Gu Qili smiled with a pressed lip. Tang Tianyou originally wanted to send ten people, but she talked him down. This was a hospital, after all,
Speaking of the bodyguards outside, Gu Qili heard one of their voices: "What’s your last na, miss?"
Then followed a sweet crisp voice: "My na is Qiu Yufei, I am Qili’s friend, I ca to visit her."
