Chapter 140 Nickname

Hearing Su Xiangwan's words, Gu's mother chuckled and said, "Newborn babies all look pretty much the same. They'll look better in a few days!"

Su Xiangwan nodded, looking at the crumpled little thing in her arms.

She raised her hand and gently touched the little thing's face. The warm, delicate, and soft touch seemed to spread directly from her fingertips to the softest part of her heart.

The feeling of maternal love gradually rose in my heart.

Feeling the soft, squishy presence in her arms, she suddenly felt that the pain of hovering on the edge of hell for the past few hours was all worth it!

It's worth it like never before!

With everyone's help, Su Xiangwan was pushed back into the ward.

With Dean Song's care, Su Xiangwan naturally had a private ward.

After all the fuss and settling in, Aunt Liu served up a steaming bowl of chicken soup.

"Young Miss, please eat something!"

Liu Ma cried until her eyes were swollen, feeling both heartache and joy.

The little dumpling she raised single-handedly is now a mother herself, and she can continue to take care of the little dumpling born to the eldest young lady!

Su Xiangwan was indeed hungry. On the one hand, she had been busy for several hours, and on the other hand, her stomach felt empty after unloading, and she felt like something was missing.

After eating something, he fell into a deep sleep.

Everyone tacitly lowered their voices so as not to disturb her.

"Dad, Mom, you should both go back first! I'll stay here and watch over things."

Gu Yanxiao waited until Su Xiangwan was sound asleep before speaking softly.

Aunt Liu then spoke up: "I'll stay too! My son-in-law has no experience taking care of children, so I'll help him out."

Everyone nodded, and Gu's mother gave some instructions on how to help Su Xiangwan wipe her body before not insisting on staying.

She was already thinking about how to make the meals nutritious and delicious when she got back.

My daughter-in-law must take good care of herself during this postpartum period. She must not be negligent, lest she suffer from any discomfort later on.

Su Xiangwan slept for a full two hours before waking up.

I was woken up by the baby's crying.

As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw Liu Ma holding the child and gently coaxing him.

Seeing that she was awake, he said with some remorse, "Did I wake the young lady? The baby just passed meconium, so he must be hungry."

Hearing her say that, Su Xiangwan shifted her body, trying to sit up.

Gu Yanxiao, who happened to walk into the ward, saw this and quickly stepped forward to help her up.

Looking at the various forms in her hand, Su Xiangwan understood that he must have gone to handle the formalities.

Gu Yanxiao carefully placed a pillow behind her to make her more comfortable.

Su Xiangwan stretched out her hand to Liu Ma: "Give me the child!"

After Liu Ma helped her position the baby comfortably in her arms, she said, "Miss, please check if you have breast milk. If not, please feed the baby formula first! I brought over a can of the formula that the Second Young Master brought from America last time."

Su Xiangwan nodded and began to breastfeed the baby somewhat awkwardly.

Fortunately, under the care of Gu's mother and Liu's mother, she was well-nourished during this time, and the baby was able to get breast milk after just a few sucks.

Before long, it started whimpering and fell asleep again.

Su Xiangwan looked at the child sleeping with his mouth half open in her arms and thought he was adorable no matter how she looked at him.

Hmm, how did she manage to say he was so ugly?

"Miss, give me the baby, you should rest! You just gave birth, you can't sit for long." Liu Ma took the baby and gestured for Su Xiangwan to lie down and rest.

After obediently lying down, Su Xiangwan looked at Gu Yanxiao and asked, "Have you thought of a name for the child?"

Gu Yanxiao sat down next to her and said, "What Mom and Dad mean is that since you are the child's mother, they asked for your opinion first."

Su Xiangwan understood that Gu's parents were respecting her opinion so as not to make her feel uncomfortable.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "The names your parents gave you are both very nice, so let them choose your formal names! We'll choose your nicknames."

Gu Yanxiao held her hand and asked, "So, have you thought of a nickname yet?"

"Hmm, how about we name her Nian Nian?"

"Okay." Gu Yanxiao didn't ask her why she was born on the Lantern Festival and why her nickname wasn't Yuanyuan or Yuanyuan, but Niannian.

As long as his wife is happy, he wouldn't mind if his son was called "Dog Egg".

Su Xiangwan naturally had her own plans in mind.

However, she did not tell Gu Yanxiao.

After all, she had already made those harsh remarks, and it was clear that she didn't have the face to reveal her plans.

The couple had just decided on a nickname for their child when they heard a knock on the hospital room door.

Turning around, I saw Dean Song had arrived.

"It's Dean Song..."

Gu Yanxiao quickly welcomed the person in: "Dean Song, please come in."

Dean Song put down what he was holding on the table and asked Su Xiangwan with a smile, "Xiangwan, how are you feeling? Are you recovering any better?"

"It has recovered a lot, thank you for your concern, Dean Song."

Su Xiangwan smiled and nodded.

Dean Song waved his hand: "Yan Xiao and I are old acquaintances, so you don't need to be so polite."

As he spoke, he glanced at Niannian, who was sleeping soundly in her crib, and said, "This child is really good-looking. She looks more like Yan Xiao."

Gu Yanxiao stood on the other side of the small bed, raised an eyebrow, and said, "Niannian's eyes look like my wife's!"

Hearing his proud tone, Dean Song's lips twitched, and he asked, "Is the child named Niannian?"

"Hmm, her nickname is Niannian, but she hasn't chosen her formal name yet!" Gu Yanxiao said, noticing Su Xiangwan's gaze sweep over the water bottle. He immediately went to Su Xiangwan's side, poured her a cup of hot water, and handed it to her.

Su Xiangwan was somewhat surprised. She hadn't expected that he would be able to realize that she wanted to drink water while he was talking to Dean Song.

She pretended to be holding a water cup, but subtly replaced the water in the cup with spiritual spring water.

After a few bites, I felt much less tired.

Dean Song was very busy, and after visiting Su Xiangwan, he took his leave not long afterward.

Before long, Gu's mother arrived with a lunchbox and said to Gu Yanxiao and Liu Ma, "Yanxiao, Liu Ma, you two go back and have a meal and rest. I'll take care of Xiang Wan here."

Gu Yanxiao shook his head and said, "No need, it's fine for Aunt Liu to go back. I'll stay here with Xiang Wan!"

He might have to go back to the army at any time, so he should take advantage of his current leave to spend more time with his wife and children.

Seeing his insistence, Gu's mother didn't say anything more. After all, the child was grown up and had his own ideas. Besides, her son was a father himself.
