After finally cleaning him up and changing his diaper, he struggled with the two thin straps again. No matter how he tied them, it felt wrong; they were either too loose or too tight.
"Pfft..." Su Wantang couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Upon hearing this, Lu Linchuan's handsome face instantly flushed red, and he glared at her, somewhat embarrassed and angry: "What are you laughing at! You try it!"
Su Wantang laughed even harder, and the wound on her stomach even ached slightly.
Finally, Wen Yuzhen couldn't bear to watch any longer and quickly dressed her grandson. The little guy, feeling comfortable, immediately stopped crying, yawned, and fell asleep again.
Lu Linchuan let out a long sigh of relief, as if he had just fought a tough battle and was completely exhausted. He wiped his sweat, walked over to Su Wantang's bedside and sat down, muttering somewhat resentfully, "This kid is much harder to manage than those greenhorns under my command."
Seeing his embarrassed expression, Su Wantang felt both amused and sorry for him.
This man gave all his tenderness and patience to her and their child.
“Okay, let’s call it that!” He made the decision, his eyes filled with admiration and love as he looked at Su Wantang.
The island nights are exceptionally quiet, with only the distant sound of waves crashing against the rocks, coming in waves like the breath of the earth.
The two little angels, who were adorable during the day, started crying loudly when they got hungry at night.
First, the older child woke up crying loudly. Just after feeding him, changing his diaper, and soothing him back to sleep, the younger child took over. The two siblings seemed to have planned it, taking turns and causing quite a commotion.
As soon as Su Wantang tried to move and get up, Lu Linchuan pressed her down.
"Lie still and don't move. Mom and I are here."
The man was only wearing a thin autumn shirt. He held the crying Ningning in his arms. Although his movements were still a little clumsy, they were much more practiced than during the day. He gently patted his daughter's back and hummed a song softly in her ear.
He couldn't sing lullabies; he just hummed a few lines of military songs.
"One, two, three, four, it's like a song, the green military camp taught me..."
The powerful and resonant military song, hummed in a low voice, sounded strange and incoherent, yet it carried a peculiar calming power.
Wen Yuzhen was making formula for her two babies when she heard her son's lullaby and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Su Wantang lay on the bed, watching the scene before her.
Moonlight streamed in through the window, casting a soft, silvery glow on the tall man and the tiny baby in his arms. The mother-in-law's busy figure on the other side, the water warming on the stove, the aroma of milk wafting in the air…
All of this together creates an incredibly heartwarming picture.
Just then, from outside the courtyard, the faint, shrill voice of Li Hongxia from next door could be heard, as if she were arguing with her husband.
"...Why! Why is Su Wantang treated like an empress dowager! Her mother-in-law is a maid, and her husband is a servant! And me? I'm just a maid..."
The sound wasn't loud, but it was exceptionally clear in the quiet night.
Lu Linchuan paused, his brows furrowed instantly, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Su Wantang tugged at his sleeve and shook her head at him.
There was no displeasure on her face, but rather a faint smile.
She looked at him, then at An'an sucking on her bottle in her mother-in-law's arms, and at Ningning slowly calming down in her husband's arms, and felt a sense of peace in her heart.
What does it matter what others say?
Those jealous, bitter, and malicious speculations are like the cold wind outside the window; they can't get into this room that's completely enveloped in love and warmth.
Her happiness and her sense of security are real.
Xiao Bao finally stopped crying and slowly closed his eyes to his father's off-key military song.
Looking at his daughter's peaceful sleeping face in his arms, Lu Linchuan's heart melted completely. He leaned down and gently placed a kiss on her smooth forehead. (This chapter has been read. Please click to continue reading the next chapter!)
