Shang Wu slept soundly.

When I woke up again, it was already broad daylight outside the window.

Her body felt like it had been disassembled and reassembled, with soreness and weakness everywhere, but her mind was very clear.

The ward door was gently pushed open, and a nurse walked in carrying a swaddled baby, a gentle smile on her face.

"Mrs. Lu, the baby has had her bath and is very healthy. You can take a look at her more often."

Lu Rang had been staying by the bedside, and immediately stood up upon hearing the sound.

He quickly washed up, changed out of the wrinkled shirt he wore yesterday, and put on a simple dark sweater.

Lu Rang's gaze first fell on Shang Wu's face, confirming that she was in good condition, before turning to the small package in the nurse's arms.

This time, his gaze was no longer a hasty glance like last night; he focused it intently.

Lu Rang took a few steps closer and bent down slightly to observe and examine the small person.

The baby is asleep. His skin is more relaxed than when he was born, but it is still red. His little mouth moves occasionally.

Her sparse baby hair clung to her forehead, making her look unkempt.

Lu Rang smiled, looking at his daughter's tiny fingers and nose, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

This is his and Awu's child, a continuation of their lives.

He extended his index finger and, with extreme care, gently touched the baby's cheek with the back of his finger.

The cheeks felt incredibly soft to the touch.

Lu Rang's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand.

"She is very soft."

He turned to look at Shang Wu, his tone carrying the awkwardness of a new father.

Shang Wu couldn't help but smile as she looked at his cautious manner.

"Yes, like the glutinous rice ball you bought before."

A faint smile also flickered in Lu Rang's eyes.

He straightened up, nodded to the nurse, then picked up his phone, walked to the window, and began to arrange the follow-up matters in a low voice.

He booked a postpartum care center for Shang Wu, a top-of-the-line suite with a professional postpartum recovery team.

However, even the best arrangements can encounter unexpected events.

In the afternoon, after Shang Wu was safely taken to that luxurious and professional postpartum care center, she learned that the center had an unexpected rule.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, we have strict rooming-in care for mothers and babies here. In order to ensure that the mother can get absolutely quiet rest, family members are not allowed to stay overnight to accompany her except during the designated visiting hours."

The supervisor looked apologetic, but his tone left no room for refusal.

"Can't I stay with you?" Lu Rang's face darkened instantly as he repeated the question, his voice carrying an air of impending doom.

In order to be able to stay with Shang Wu at all times, he even specially chose the largest suite.

But he was told that he couldn't stay by her side?

"My wife just gave birth and needs someone to take care of her."

"Please rest assured, we have the most professional nurses and postpartum caregivers, working in shifts 24 hours a day, and we will take meticulous care of Mrs. Lu and her baby."

The supervisor maintained a professional smile.

Lu Rang's face turned completely cold, a hint of anger etched between his brows: "I don't care about your rules, I must..."

"Lu Rang." Shang Wu lay on the bed in the inner room, listening to the conversation outside, her voice still somewhat weak as she spoke.

"It's okay, there are doctors and nurses here, it's very convenient. You didn't get a good night's rest last night either, go back and get a good night's sleep."

Lu Rang turned and went into the inner room, his brows still furrowed. He walked to the bedside and took her hand: "I'm worried."

Shang Wu squeezed his fingers gently, soothingly saying, "What are you worried about? There are so many people watching here..."

She paused, then looked tenderly at her sleeping daughter in the crib beside her.

"I also want to try spending some time alone with Yuwu, and get used to how to be a mother."

Her words were gentle, and Lu Rang's anxiety and anger dissipated considerably.

He looked into Shang Wu's tired yet determined eyes, remained silent for a moment, and finally sighed in resignation.

Lu Rang leaned down and planted a kiss on her forehead.

"Call me immediately if anything happens."

"Okay," Shang Wu replied with a smile.

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the ward door, and a neatly dressed girl peeked in, holding a large bouquet of bright sunflowers.

"President Shang!" As soon as A-Ying entered, her eyes instantly reddened when she saw Shang Wu leaning against the bed and the crib next to her.

She put down the flowers, rushed to the bedside, wanted to hug Shang Wu but didn't dare to use force, and finally just carefully grabbed Shang Wu's hand, tears falling down her face.

"You've worked so hard! That's wonderful, absolutely wonderful!"

She was incoherent, laughing and crying at the same time: "Watching you and Mr. Lu get to where you are now, get married, and have a baby, I'm so moved! President Shang, you will definitely be happier and happier in the future!"

Infected by her, Shang Wu's eyes also welled up with tears. She gently patted the back of her hand and said, "Why are you crying? I'm perfectly fine."

Aying wiped away her tears and rambled on about the studio's recent situation, adding that several assistants were waiting for Shang Wu to return.

A warm atmosphere filled the room.

Suddenly, the screen of Shang Wu's phone, which was on the bedside table, lit up. It was a text message from an unknown number.

Congratulations! I heard you had a daughter. I'm so glad you and your baby are both doing well. What's your baby's name?

Unsigned, with a flat tone, even a hint of detachment.

Shang Wu stared at the number, her heart skipped a beat.

The tone of voice... she almost immediately recognized the sender's identity.

Her brother, Shang Yunshen.

Back then, when she insisted on being with Lu Rang, Shang Yun Shen was the most vehemently opposed.

He believed that Shang Wu would suffer a loss, and the siblings had countless arguments over this, bringing their relationship to a freezing point.
