Chapter 1077 Does he not like his daughter?
The next day, the first thing Qiao Xing did upon waking up was to go see her child.
Today is the fourth day since the baby was born. The head nurse came over and told Qiao Xing that it was time to give the baby a bath.
Since it was her first time taking a shower, Qiao Xing thought she should take a picture with her phone.
There were many other children taking a bath together. Qiao Xing saw her Er'er being held by a nurse and gently placed in the water.
The temperature in the baby's room is suitable, and it is a standard customized according to strict requirements.
So even very young children can adapt to the temperature inside and won't catch a cold.
Er'er is very well-behaved. When the nurse holds her to bathe, she doesn't cry, but just stares at the nurse with her round eyes.
She was probably wondering who the person in front of her was and what she was doing, and what she was holding her.
The nurse seemed to like Er'er very much, holding her while bathing her and making her laugh.
Qiao Xing held her phone, recording the scene. She turned to Qin Ce and said, "Look, our Er'er is so well-behaved, she doesn't cry at all."
There were several children in the baby room, and they were all crying loudly because they couldn't get used to their first bath.
But Er'er wasn't affected by them at all. Qiao Xing liked her more and more as he looked at her, and wished he could go in and give his daughter a bath himself.
Qin Ce looked at his daughter, his eyes filled with tenderness.
Next to Qiao Xing were several other mothers who were also documenting their babies' bath time.
Everyone was initially happy to see their child taking their first bath.
Just then, a disgruntled voice broke the silence.
"You can wash this at home just like any other place, why spend so much money to do it here? Chen Dong only earns a few dollars a month! You've spent tens of thousands on a month's confinement, you'll ruin our Chen family sooner or later!"
The sound was so jarring that everyone turned to look.
A woman dressed like Qiao Xing was standing with her head down, and next to her stood a slightly older woman who was scolding her, one sentence at a time.
The young woman probably felt she had lost face in front of so many people, so you said to the woman next to you, "Mom, please stop talking..."
"You wasted money, and I can't even scold you? If you hadn't secretly given me the money early on, I would never have let you live here. It's tens of thousands of yuan, enough to buy a house in the countryside back then!"
The woman became more and more agitated as she spoke, and her voice grew louder.
The people around them looked at the two with displeasure, clearly feeling that they were disturbing everyone.
A nurse came over and reminded the woman, "Auntie, there are many babies sleeping inside. Could you please keep your voice down a little?"
The woman ignored the nurse's words and turned to say something to the young woman.
"I don't care, you have to return the money to me no matter what, or I'll have Chen Dong kick you out!"
After she finished speaking, she even gritted her teeth and pinched the woman's arm hard.
The woman cried out in pain, but the people around her just watched the scene unfold like a spectacle, and no one came forward to comfort her.
Qiao Xing couldn't stand it any longer. She walked over to the woman and handed her a tissue. "Wipe yourself off."
The woman took the tissue and gratefully said to Qiao Xing, "Thank you..."
Qiao Xing heard everything that the woman said to the other woman.
It's obvious without even guessing that the woman was her mother-in-law.
Because often only mothers-in-law are concerned about money.
After all, she's not her own daughter. Even if she gave birth to the child, in her mother-in-law's heart, she's no different from an outsider.
Qiao Xing didn't say much, offered a few words of comfort, and then left.
After the nurse gave Er'er a bath, she carried her back to Qiao Xing's room.
Although the child is cared for by professional caregivers, there is always dedicated time each day for the baby and mother to spend time together.
Qiao Xing no longer needs to breastfeed her child all the time, which makes things much easier for her.
But if she doesn't breastfeed, she feels like there are very few things she can do to connect with her child.
So every time the nurse brought the baby over, she tried her best to spend time with the child.
Even if the child doesn't understand what she's saying, and doesn't know that the person in front of her is her mother.
But the bond between children and their families is gradually built up through daily interactions.
Every time Qiao Xing looked after the child, Qin Ce would sit quietly beside her, watching the two of them.
He didn't speak, as if watching Qiao Xing babble and talk to a child who didn't understand anything was a kind of happiness for him.
Seeing that he wasn't interacting with the child at all, Qiao Xing frowned and asked, "Don't you like your daughter?"
This question left Qin Ce speechless. "How could you think I don't like her?"
Qiao Xing thought back carefully for a moment, "From the time she was born until today, you don't seem to be very happy."
When Yang Han came to the hospital that day, he repeatedly said that he really liked girls.
Even the sex of the baby in Xiao Lin's belly is uncertain.
He continued to talk to them about how he would spoil his daughter like a princess if she were a girl.
Looking at Qin Ce, Qiao Xing knew that he wouldn't be as enthusiastic towards his daughter as she was.
But no matter what, he is a father. It is said that fathers tend to prefer daughters, and daughters are closer to their fathers.
But how could Qin Ce, in his current state, possibly get close to his daughter?
Qin Ce touched his cheek and asked, "Do I look serious?"
Mingming was overjoyed ever since he learned that Qiao Xing had given birth to a daughter.
Like Yang Han, he had been hoping that Qiao Xing was carrying a girl even before she gave birth.
Because he didn't want to have a son who would inherit his temper and personality.
So when Qin Ce learned that Qiao Xing had given birth to a daughter, he was happy.
He didn't know why Qiao Xing felt he was unhappy, or that he didn't like his daughter at all.
Qiao Xing reached out and pinched Qin Ce's cheek. "If I didn't know you well, I would have suspected that you were upset that I gave birth to a daughter for you."
This should have been a very joyful occasion, but Qiao Xing hadn't seen a single trace of happiness on Qin Ce's face these past few days.
If Qin Ce were to act like this towards outsiders, Qiao Xing wouldn't say anything, but the person lying here is his own daughter.
Since Qiao Xing had said that, Qin Ce also felt that he might have been too calm, which was why Qiao Xing misunderstood.
He tugged at the corners of his mouth, trying his best to force a smile.
But he was born with a dislike for smiling, and when he did smile, it looked even uglier than when he cried.
Qin Ce simply gave up, saying, "I like Er'er very much. She is my daughter and our child. I will never dislike her."
