In her past life, a treacherous man and a despicable woman conspired against her, leading her to a tragic end filled with hatred.
Only at the moment of death did she realize that her foolish ...
"If you have to blame someone, blame me for keeping the secret from you."
Gong Beize said, "It's not your fault, you did nothing wrong, this matter is over."
Fearing that Dongfang Tinglan might get stuck on the topic, he quickly changed the subject, saying, "Are all babies born this ugly?"
Dongfang Tinglan was taken aback, then looked down at the baby in her arms. "It's not ugly, it's just been soaking in amniotic fluid for too long. It will look better after a few days."
Seeing that the topic had gone off track, Gong Beize breathed a sigh of relief.
Half an hour later, the production equipment was also removed from the inner room, leaving only Ye Mohan inside to keep Jian Yixue company.
Upon seeing this, Dongfang Tinglan took the two babies inside.
Seeing Jian Yixue lying in the hospital bed looking unwell, Dongfang Tinglan said with heartache, "You've worked so hard, Xue'er."
As a mother, what I can't bear to see my daughter go through the same pain she went through is something I can't bear to see.
However, childbirth is something that cannot be avoided.
I feel nothing but heartache.
Hearing this, Jian Yixue smiled and said, "I'm fine, Mom. I had an epidural, so it wasn't too uncomfortable. I think epidurals are the greatest invention in the world."
Without painless delivery, she might have really had to go through a painful childbirth process.
With painless delivery, she simply took a nap and then woke up to give birth.
After hearing this, Dongfang Tinglan felt somewhat comforted. "Yes, painless treatment is indeed good."
Fearing that Dongfang Tinglan would continue to be sad, Jian Yixue said, "Mom, bring the baby over so I can take a look. I haven't had a proper look at him yet."
"Okay, sure."
Dongfang Tinglan walked over and handed the baby to Jian Yixue.
Jian Yixue sat up and carefully took the baby from her arms. She still thought the baby was ugly, but it was still her child, and she loved them just the same.
Dongfang Tinglan suddenly spoke up, "Has the baby been named yet?"
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue subconsciously looked at Ye Mohan, who nodded and said, "Yes, we've chosen nicknames. Lemon for a girl, Cola for a boy."
Jian Yixue felt a little guilty. It was because she liked to drink the "happy fairy water" back then, and later, when she was pregnant, she liked to drink lemon water. When choosing a name, she just casually mentioned it, and Ye Mohan adopted it.
She thought about it and figured that lemons and cola could be used for both boys and girls, so she didn't object.
Looking back now, it was a bit too casual.
"Lemon, Cola." Dongfang Tinglan pondered the names, then said, "That's alright. Nicknames are just for when you're a few years old, so you can call them whatever you like. But we need to think carefully about the formal name, since it's for a lifetime."
"Yes." Ye Mohan nodded solemnly. "Xue'er and I have discussed it. We'll have Mom and Dad choose one name, and Grandpa will choose another."
Dongfang Tinglan looked at Jian Yixue for confirmation, and Jian Yixue nodded.
“We considered many names, but they were all quite common and many people had the same name. We were worried that there would be too many people with the same name when we went to school, and it would be difficult to distinguish them. So we decided to entrust the name selection to you.”
After hearing Jian Yixue's words, Dongfang Tinglan subconsciously looked at Gong Beize, only to see Gong Beize lower his head, think for a moment, and then agree.
"Okay, as long as you don't mind."
Jian Yixue said, "How could I dislike it? I'm happy, but choosing a name is just too much of a brain drain."
Jian Yixue's words made Dongfang Tinglan and Gong Beize laugh.
After a while, Gong Beize thought for a moment and said, "How about Ye Anran? It means peace and joy."
Having lived through his and Lan'er's entire lives, he felt that being able to grow up safely and healthily was the best blessing.
Upon hearing this, Jian Yixue pondered for a moment and said, "Anran? It means peace and health. I think it's good. What do you think, Mo Han?"
Ye Mohan nodded and said, "Yes, our daughter just needs to grow up safely and happily."
As for the rest, he didn't care.
He doesn't need his daughter to have material possessions or skills. With the Ye family as her background, she doesn't need to learn anything to win at the starting line.
And so, the baby girl's name was decided.
Jian Yixue hugged Ye Anran and looked down at her tenderly, saying, "Little Lemon, you have a formal name now. Your name is Ye Anran, which means peace and happiness. It was given to you by your maternal grandfather. If you don't like it in the future, you can hold your grandfather accountable. It has nothing to do with Mommy."
Everyone was speechless, especially Gong Beize.
Gong Beize: This little darling is digging her own grave at every turn.
Soon, the old man arrived at the ward, accompanied by Ye Ling'er and Nangong Ci.
When the old man heard that Jian Yixue had given birth to a boy and a girl for the Ye family, he was overjoyed. He immediately took out three cards and handed them to Jian Yixue, saying domineeringly.
"Your grandmother passed away early, so she didn't prepare any special gift for you. Your grandfather is old and all he has left is money. Although it may seem vulgar, it's the most practical gift."
Here, this one's for you. It contains Grandpa's life savings. These two bills are for our two precious grandchildren, one for each of them, each worth 5 billion. And I'll cover all the expenses for our grandchildren in the future.
"Grandpa, no, I can't accept this."
Jian Yixue was startled by the old man's bold words. Looking at the three cards in front of her, she didn't know what to do for a moment, so she could only look to Ye Mohan for help.
Ye Mohan seemed not to see Jian Yixue's plea for help, and said, "Take it, Grandpa won't be happy if you don't take it."
Upon hearing this, the old man said, "Mo Han is right. If you don't accept it, I will definitely be unhappy."
Ye Ling'er was very envious, but she also knew that this sister-in-law deserved it, after all, she had given birth to many children for the Ye family.
Hearing the old man's words, she echoed, "Yes, sister-in-law, please accept it."
In the end, Jian Yixue had no choice but to accept it.
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Seeing this, the old man happily picked up Lemon and Cola. Seeing that the old man was holding Cola, Jian Yixue said, "Grandpa, why don't you give Cola a name?"
The old man was taken aback and asked, "You haven't decided on a name yet?"
Jian Yixue repeated what she had just said to Dongfang Tinglan, and then the old man agreed.
The old man looked at the child in his arms, racking his brains for a name. After a while, he finally spoke, "Ye Yuchen, what do you think?"
Jian Yixue pondered for a moment and thought the name was quite good. Then she looked at Ye Mohan, who nodded.
Thus, Ye Yuchen decided on the name of Cola.
After the old man had seen the child, Ye Mohan told everyone to go home. He, the postpartum nanny, and the childcare worker could stay and look after Jian Yixue.
Considering that Jian Yixue had just given birth and needed to rest, everyone said goodbye to her and left the ward.
Soon, the baby received his first breast milk.
I fed the baby some formula before because everyone was coming over, but now I'm officially breastfeeding.
The nanny, carrying the sobbing Lemon, walked to Jane Yixue's side.
