"Uh... Dad." Huo Junyu forced a laugh, "Actually, what Mom said wasn't wrong..."
"Um?"
Huo Junyu began a serious explanation, "You really can't breathe directly onto a baby. She's so small; what you exhale is carbon dioxide, while she needs fresh oxygen. If you do that..."
"You unfilial son!" Huo Zhixing finally used the words his mother had used on him on his own son.
However, since then, Third Master Huo has mastered the art of holding his breath. Whenever he faces his little granddaughter, who is as round as a glutinous rice ball, he can not only hold his breath, but also maintain a loving and radiant smile while holding his breath.
The most amazing thing is that when he was holding his granddaughter to sleep, he could hold his breath until she fell asleep, and then he would carefully put her in her crib before finally straightening up and letting out a long breath...
Huo Junyang was stunned and quietly asked Huo Junyu, "With Dad's skills, he could totally enter an ancient tomb! He wouldn't even need to breathe!"
Before Huo Junyu could even laugh out loud, Huo Zhixing turned around and gave them both a sharp look.
When the little princess sleeps, no living thing is allowed to make a sound!
Not even the cat I keep at home!
Huo Junyang sheepishly tiptoed out.
Another top priority is the name of the little princess.
Huo Junyu couldn't find a good song after much deliberation. Jiang Mianmian suggested a few, but she felt they were too gentle and lacked spirit.
Of course, she hoped her daughter could be heroic and valiant, just like Jiang Can and Fu Xiuyu, becoming a heroine among women.
Lu Lishan slapped his forehead and laughed, "What are you all worried about! I've already thought of a name for my granddaughter!"
"What?"
"Little Peach!"
Jiang Mianmian chuckled softly. Seeing her silence, Lu Lishan assumed he had struck a chord with his daughter, oblivious to the increasingly sharp glare from Lin Yuqing beside him.
"Daughter, you're called Little Pomelo, and your daughter is called Little Peach! How wonderful! If we have a few more children in the future, they'll be Little Orange, Little Pear, Little Jujube... Oh my!"
The old man took a blow from Yuqing's Iron Palm!
Huo Zhixing smiled calmly, "Heh, I've been uncultured since I was young!"
"you……"
"Alright!" Lin Yuqing glared at him. "If you can't speak properly, then stand aside!"
Lu Lishan always cowered in front of his wife, immediately lowering his head and standing to the side.
In the end, Huo Junyu and Jiang Mianmian decided on the name for their daughter: Huo Jiayuan.
“Jia Yuan?” Jiang Can thought for a moment. “This sounds nice! The meaning of the character Yuan is also good. Yuan Zhi Xiang Lan represents a person of high moral character, which matches the Huo family’s family motto very well!”
"Mmm!" Huo Junyang quickly chimed in, "Jiayuan, it sounds just like 'Jiayuan'! Hehe, my little niece will definitely grow up to be beautiful and intelligent, attracting many talented young men and finding her a perfect match!"
Everyone laughed, but Huo Junyu managed a weak smile, his eyes dimming for a moment.
He walked to the nursery door and looked at the sleeping baby in the princess bed from afar, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
How many years can she stay in his arms? How many years can he pamper her?
She will always be his darling, but in his daughter's heart, he will ultimately be no match for the man who will accompany her through life.
Huo Junyu smiled gently, thinking that Jiang Mianmian was the same way, marrying him, bearing his children, and spending her life with him... generation after generation, it's all the same.
Parents will grow old, children will grow up, but the loved one who stays by your side will never leave.
Thinking of this, Huo Junyu went back. Everyone else had left the room, and only Jiang Mianmian was resting on the bed. He gently sat down beside her and bent down to kiss her forehead.
Jiang Mianmian opened her eyes and revealed a gentle smile.
"Wife..."
"Um?"
"I..." Huo Junyu held her hand. He rarely said those three words to her because he found them cheesy, and more importantly, the men in the Huo family had always preferred actions to words.
But today, he whispered in her ear, "I love you."
Jiang Mianmian blushed.
Even after giving birth to his child, she still felt like she was in love.
"Wife, I love you."
“Okay,” she gently nudged him, “I know.”
"I truly love you."
She laughed even harder, "Okay!"
"Wife, I..."
Huo Junyu wanted to say something even more cheesy, but then Pei Nian knocked on the door from outside.
"sister!"
Huo Junyu took a deep breath and made a helpless expression.
Jiang Mianmian smiled and let Pei Nian in, only to find that Pei Nian was followed by several other people.
"President Qin?"
Qin Yu nodded, and Shao Xiaofei also greeted him warmly.
Qin Nuan skipped and hopped around Jiang Mianmian's bedside, asking, "Where's the little sister?"
"Hey, Nuannuan!" Qin Yu quickly stopped her.
"It's okay," Jiang Mianmian chuckled, patiently explaining to Qin Nuan, "The little girl is in the nursery next door, but she's asleep right now. When she wakes up in a little while, you can play with her, okay?"
Qin Nuan clapped her hands excitedly and ran to Pei Nian's side, "Auntie!"
Qin Yu looked helpless, frowned, and scolded Shao Xiaofei in a low voice, "I told you not to bring her. Look, she's just making things worse!"
“What does it matter?” Huo Junyu said gently. “It’s a child’s nature! President Qin, I have a daughter now too, and I don’t want to see others mistreat her!”
The mischievous Qin Nuan made a face at her father and hid behind Shao Xiaofei and Pei Nian.
Qin Yu chuckled twice, then had no choice but to surrender. He presented his congratulatory gift, and also his resignation.
