32-year-old Ren Xue'er, single since birth, finally couldn't bear her parents' incessant urging to marry. She agreed to a blind date to marry herself off and escape her suffocating orig...
The man held the baby carefully, the doting in his eyes was self-evident.
Mother Lu couldn't help but complain when she saw his clumsy and stiff way of holding the baby.
"You're holding a child, not something flammable or explosive. There's no need to be so nervous!"
Lu Tingen stared at the little guy and retorted, "I'm not nervous."
Mother Lu: "Then why are you shaking?"
“…”
"Okay, give me the child!" Seeing him dragging the child and not daring to move, Lu's mother shook her head helplessly.
"I didn't see you this nervous the day you brought YiBo home."
Lu Tingen handed the baby to her and asked, "Can it be the same?"
Mother Lu gently took the child over and asked, "Why is it different?"
Lu Tingen's eyes fell on the baby, he frowned and spoke in a low voice.
"Can a boy and a girl be the same? Look at this girl, with her thin arms and legs. If I hug her too hard and break her arms and legs, who can I turn to for justice?"
Father Lu finally spoke up, raising his hand to hit him, "What nonsense are you talking about, you little brat?"
Lu Tingen avoided his father's greetings and looked up at the woman who was caring for the baby. "Ms. Zhao, please take care of Old Lu."
Mother Lu: "You deserve a beating, kid!"
Lu Tingen: “…”
Husband and wife follow each other?
The man curled his lips, ran to the sleeping Ren Xueer, bent down and gently kissed her forehead.
"Wife, go to sleep, good night and sweet dreams~"
After saying that, he stood up and looked at Lu's mother, "Ms. Zhao, I'm going home for a while."
Mother Lu put the child down and glanced at the man who was about to leave. "Haha! How rare! You don't want to stay with your wife?"
"I'll be back soon." Lu Tingen took a deep look at the woman sleeping soundly on the bed. Before leaving the delivery room, he reminded her again, "Ms. Zhao, take good care of my wife."
"I understand. Go ahead!"
…
When Lu Tingen returned to the Blue Sea Villa, it was already two o'clock in the morning. The sound of emergency brakes was particularly harsh in the silent night.
When the bodyguards and servants on duty saw him come back, they all came forward and surrounded the man, staring at him expectantly.
A slight surprise flashed in Lu Tingen's eyes. "What are you doing? You're not sleeping in the middle of the night? Huh?"
The maid was the first to answer, "Master, we are on duty!"
"Oh." The man replied nonchalantly and was about to walk into the living room, but he found that they were surrounding him tighter and tighter, and he couldn't take even half a step. His brows were furrowed.
"You want to rebel, don't you?"
Maid: "Master, how dare we do that! May I ask if you are expecting a son or a daughter?"
The man was delighted when he heard this, and the gloom on his face disappeared instantly. He stretched out his hand to the bodyguard and said, "Give me the walkie-talkie!"
"Huh?" The bodyguard was stunned. Although he didn't know what he was going to do, he still handed it to the man obediently, "Here, Master."
The man turned on the intercom, his excited tone revealing a hint of arrogance.
"Haha! Everyone listen up! I, Lu Tingen, have a daughter!"
The man casually pointed at the bodyguards in front of him and raised his eyebrows to show off, "Daughter, you don't have any, right?"
As soon as he said this, everyone offered their blessings, "Congratulations, young master, on the birth of your daughter!"
"Well, thank you." Lu Tingen threw the walkie-talkie to the bodyguard, curled his thin lips, and left after saying thank you for the first time.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment: "..."
Is this overexcitement?
Lu Tingen hummed a song as he stepped into the living room. The moment the smart voice-controlled light came on, the man was frightened by the scene before him and stepped back repeatedly.
"Oh my? Ward! You all look like ghosts with your hair all messed up. What are you doing standing in the living room in the middle of the night?"
Uncle Zhang yawned as he walked out of the bedroom. "Master, congratulations!"
The servants chimed in, "Congratulations, young master, on the birth of your daughter!"
Lu Tingen's eyes were filled with surprise. "How come you all know all this?"
Housekeeper: "Master, you just yelled in the yard with the intercom, it's hard for us not to know."
"Hehehe..." The man did not hide his excitement at all. He lifted his feet and climbed up the stairs with brisk steps.
"You should get some sleep. I have to go back to the hospital to be with my wife and children. I don't have time to chat with you."
A servant with half-closed eyes yawned softly, "You speak as if you have time to chat with us."
"Hush, you're asking for your life, you even dare to contradict the young master."
"It's okay, the young master has gone upstairs, he can't hear you. Besides, look at how excited he is right now, he won't hear you even if you scold him in front of him."
The butler began to dismiss the crowd, "Alright, stop talking! Go to bed!"
"Let's go, let's go..."
The man upstairs took his belongings and rushed to the hospital...

The next morning, Ren Xueer had been arranged to recuperate in the VIP ward where no one would disturb her. When the woman opened her eyes, she saw the man sleeping at the head of the bed, holding her hand tightly.
She slightly pulled the corners of her dry lips and reached out to touch the man's stubble, but was caught by Lu's mother who pushed the door open with an insulated lunch box.
"Xue'er, are you awake? Are you hungry?"
The woman immediately withdrew her hand and shook her head at Lu's mother, "Mom, I'm not hungry."
Mother Lu came over, opened the insulated lunch box, filled it with soup, and the smile in her eyes was clearly visible.
"Xue'er, this is the vegetable and tofu soup I specifically asked your dad to make for you. It's light and the temperature is just right. Come, let me feed you."
Ren Xueer looked embarrassed, feeling a little embarrassed in front of her mother-in-law, "Mom, I can do it myself!"
"Hey? I'm your mother-in-law, what does this matter?" Mother Lu smiled and personally started feeding her daughter-in-law, "Be obedient and open your mouth."
Ren Xueer blushed as she took a sip of the tofu soup and looked up at the woman in front of her. "Mom, thank you."
"As a family, don't keep thanking each other. Mom doesn't like to hear those two words."
"Okay, I understand. Thanks..."
Mother Lu glanced at her and said, "Hmm?"
Ren Xueer smiled and looked around the room, "Mom, where's the baby?"
Mother Lu: "Well, she's sleeping soundly on the small bed behind your husband!"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then looked behind the man. When she saw the little sleeping figure clearly, the corners of her dry lips hurt from smiling.
"Yeah, she's so good."
"Yes!" Mother Lu raised a smile on her face and turned her gaze to Lu Tingen, who was still sleeping soundly while holding the woman's hand tightly.
"Xue'er, it's Mom who wants to thank you. Thank you for staying with my son. Only with you around can he smile sincerely. Thank you for raising Tingting's child as your own. Now that you have your own baby, I've discussed with your dad and want to bring Yibo to live with Mom."
Ren Xueer: "Mom, no, I don't agree!"
"Ah? What do you mean you don't agree?" The man heard the woman talking in a daze. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw that the woman was awake. He excitedly held her face and pecked her hard.
"Mua! Mua! Mua..."
