Lin Xiazhu felt a little uncomfortable at the time but didn't intend to delve into it. Seeing that the maids understood her meaning, she sent them out first, as she wanted to talk to Yan Xin alone.
"Why is he going to sleep again? I've only been playing with him for a little while." Yan Xin had only been teasing Xiao Mo Xun for two minutes when the little guy gave a delicate yawn and started to sleep again with his eyes half-closed.
"He's still young, it's the time when he needs to grow. He'll be better when he's three months old, and he'll be awake more often." Lin Xiazhu lowered her voice as she saw her son was asleep and put the little guy to sleep next to her.
“I’ll hold him,” Yan Xin volunteered.
"No, that will spoil them. They won't want to sleep lying down by themselves anymore and will always want to be held to sleep, which will be too much trouble." Although we have many servants at home, as long as we are willing to pay, it is not a problem to have someone hold the little one to sleep day and night. But that's not good. What if they spoil them and cause them problems?
"He's still a baby, don't be too strict with him, be gentle with him." Yan Xin said with a grin, not at all serious. I didn't expect this girl to like children so much.
"If you like, you can have your own baby," Lin Xiazhu said jokingly.
What was said in jest was taken seriously by Yan Xin. "Yes, I can have one myself to play with. I want such a cute baby. I want to know what kind of bloodline I want."
Seeing that she was serious, Lin Xiazhu became agitated. "Calm down, don't do anything reckless. I was just joking with you. Who told you to actually give birth? Even if you really want to have a child, you shouldn't do it like this."
"How did I do anything reckless? I've always been a decent person and have never done anything out of line," Yan Xin retorted earnestly.
"Don't think I don't know what you're up to. After all these years together, I can tell what you're thinking just by the way you stick your butt out." Lin Xiazhu poked her forehead in annoyance.
“Speak politely. My godson is right here. It’s just IVF, what’s the big deal? We have money, it’s easy for us to have a child ourselves, why bother a man?” Yan Xin nodded, as if she had made up her mind.
"Hey, think about your family's feelings before you do anything. Don't just think about yourself. Your parents will be furious if they find out. I think you should just find a man to marry. You can have as many children as you want. Don't think that just because you did IVF, you're giving birth all by yourself. You're using someone else's sperm to have the baby." Lin Xiazhu was anxious and quickly advised.
"I'll find someone with blond hair and blue eyes, have a mixed-race child, and then we'll be far apart. I won't have to worry about the man trying to steal him away." Yan Xin was determined to do what she wanted and wouldn't listen to any advice.
Lin Xiazhu wiped the sweat from her forehead, almost laughing in exasperation. "When a sperm donor donates, it's like donating countless grains of gold. When it comes to IVF, many people will be using the same man's gold. I remember a news story about a foreigner who never married or had children, but he donated sperm when he was young."
"Those IVF babies, when they grow up, will have thirty or forty half-siblings, all from the same donor. You should be careful." After saying all this, Lin Xiazhu only hoped that Yan Xin could calm down and not impulsively go for IVF at such a young age.
If Yan's parents found out that Yan Xin went to have a baby because of something she said, they would definitely scold her to death.
"Now that you mention it, I think I've seen similar news. Let's forget about it. Actually, I don't really want to have children." Yan Xin is like that sometimes, acting on a whim. But at least she gave up the idea of having children, and Lin Xiazhu breathed a sigh of relief.
In the evening, Lin Taozi left school and took a taxi directly to the hospital to see Lin Xiazhu. When she arrived at the ward, she found Gu Yan and Gu Qiao'er there as well. She subconsciously frowned. Why were these two here? Did they say something stupid to upset her older sister?
"Big sister, look what I bought? Tulips, so fresh! The florist said they were just picked from the farm." Lin Taozi came in with a bright smile and put the flowers in a vase on the bedside table. There was already a bunch of baby's breath in the vase, which she had replaced.
"Peach is here! Come and see, Xiao Moxun is awake! Auntie is here to see you! Aren't you happy?" Xiao Moxun had just finished drinking her milk and hadn't fallen asleep yet. She was looking at her mother with her big eyes wide open.
"He's so cute, can I hug him?" Gu Yan smiled gently, her eyes looking at Lin Xiazhu.
Lin Xiazhu looked up at her and said softly, "Okay, baby, how about your aunt holds you? Be a good girl, okay?"
Gu Yan and Gu Qiao'er came in with Bai Ru'an. Bai Ru'an told Xiao Moxun to call Gu Yan "Auntie," but that was just an instruction; Xiao Moxun doesn't know how to address people yet.
Gu Yan's eyes flickered slightly, and her smile faltered for a moment, but she quickly recovered. She took the child and held him in her arms, looking at the little Mo Xun's face, which was eight parts similar to Bai Ru'an's, with a somewhat dazed expression.
Even at such a young age, you can tell that the little guy looks just like his brother Mingxuan. He really is his biological son. But why did he marry Lin Xiazhu?
Gu Yan had always thought that Lin Xiazhu was Bai Ruan's relative, like her, or even a younger sister, perhaps closer than her. She just couldn't understand why Lin Xiazhu had suddenly gotten married.
She felt conflicted, uneasy and resentful. She thought of what Gu Qiao'er had said: "Lin Xiazhu is quite cunning. She has completely bewitched Mingxuan, making him insist on marrying her. I heard she even gave him a lot of money."
"Who told you that Brother Mingxuan gave her a lot of money?" Gu Yan asked suspiciously.
"Aunt Bai, I ran into her by chance when I was shopping last time. She insisted on talking to me, and I couldn't refuse her, so we went to a coffee shop to discuss things for a while. Then she told me everything. Not only did Brother Mingxuan give her a lot of money, but even Grandpa Bai gave her shares."
So she knew that Bai Xinru had ulterior motives and wanted to sow discord, making her and Gu Yan unhappy. Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu looked down on Lin Xiazhu, so how could they possibly respect her and Gu Yan?
Even if Lin Xiazhu is down on her luck, she still has a coffee shop, several houses, and a house in her hometown county. She has some assets to rely on. Unlike her and Gu Yan, who have been supported by the Bai family ever since they came to Beijing, Bai Xinru and Bai Xinyu have always treated them as useless people and burdens.
But even though she knew that others had ill intentions, Gu Qiao'er still couldn't help but stir up trouble in front of Gu Yan. After graduating from university two years ago, she started looking for a job. Gu Yan and she were not in the same company. The salary was average. The first three months of probation paid six thousand, and after the probation period, it was eight thousand.
They have been working for two years now and have a salary of around 10,000 yuan, which is relatively high compared to their classmates. However, since they started working, the Bai family has stopped giving them living expenses. They only gave the apartment she lived in to Gu Yan, while she had nothing and could only stay at Gu Yan's house.
The Bai family gives Gu Yan 5,000 yuan a month for living expenses and Gu Qiao'er 2,000 yuan. They are used to having money coming into their accounts every month. Suddenly it stopped, and they have no money to spend as soon as they stop working. They feel a great sense of loss.
