The 318th operation concludes, ending the countdown of fourteen days.
A tiny baby in swaddling clothes had a rosy, wrinkled face that made her look like a little old lady, but Xiao Yan found her exceptionally adorable.
This is his daughter, the child he had with Gu Mingxia. Seven years ago, when he was first brought to the United States by Alice, he never thought he would meet Gu Mingxia again, let alone think about having a child.
But now he and Gu Mingxia have not only reunited, but also gotten back together, and have a lovely and beautiful daughter.
"The young lady is very cute, she looks exactly like the eldest lady back then."
A rare smile appeared on Lin Fu's face, but Xiao Yan's lips twitched after hearing his words. Could this really look like Xia Xia? And exactly the same? Although this was his biological daughter, Xiao Yan still wanted to ask Lin Fu, was he sure this wrinkled red monkey looked exactly like Gu Mingxia? Was he really not mistaken?
"Uncle Lin, are you sure?"
"What, Mr. Xiao, do you think the young lady and the eldest lady don't look alike?"
"It looks like it, it looks like it, how could it not look like it? I'm just afraid Uncle Lin is mistaken."
Xiao Yan held his daughter and said happily. Now he looked completely content with his daughter, and there was no trace of the expression he had at the beginning, where he wanted to protect the adult rather than the child.
"That's right, the young lady will definitely be as beautiful as the eldest lady when she grows up."
Lin Fu also had a smile on his face. The master was not fortunate enough to see the birth of the young lady's child, but now he had finally lived up to the master's expectations and protected the young lady's child so that the child could be born safely. He wondered if the master could see it from the other side.
Just as Xiao Yan was about to speak, the tightly closed delivery room door suddenly opened, and a nurse pushed Gu Mingxia out of it.
"Xiaxia, are you alright?"
Holding the baby, Xiao Yan rushed to Gu Mingxia's side immediately and held her hand tightly.
"Xiao Yan, where's the baby? Where's our daughter?"
Gu Mingxia's first words were about the baby, which made Xiao Yan feel a little jealous. However, after seeing Gu Mingxia's pale face, all of Xiao Yan's unhappiness disappeared.
"The baby is here, look..."
"Let the patient go to the ward first, then someone needs to handle the admission procedures. Otherwise, the new mother will catch a cold in the corridor."
The nurse stopped Gu Mingxia from seeing the child, and Lin Fu immediately responded and turned to complete the admission procedures. Xiao Yan naturally chose a VIP ward for Gu Mingxia, and he anxiously followed the nurse to the ward with the baby in his arms.
"Put the baby down, we need to do a preliminary check-up for the baby."
After settling Gu Mingxia down, the nurse smiled and reached out her hands to Xiao Yan. Xiao Yan looked at the baby in her arms with some reluctance, frowned slightly, and then handed the baby to the nurse.
The nurse skillfully placed the baby on a medical examination machine and quickly removed the baby's clothes.
"The parents also came to see that the baby has all ten toes and ten fingers, no obvious birthmarks, is 51 cm tall, weighs 6 pounds and 8 ounces, and has normal facial features and reproductive organs."
As she spoke, she showed Xiao Yan the parts she was referring to. Gu Mingxia, who was lying on the hospital bed, had only vaguely seen her newborn daughter in the delivery room. Now, she could only hear the nurse talking about her daughter but couldn't see her. She was so anxious that she felt like she was being scratched by a cat.
"It's too late today. A nurse will come to take the baby for a bath at eight o'clock tomorrow morning. Here are the baby's wristband and name tag. Please don't lose them."
After the nurse secured the wristband and name tag, she lifted the baby by the head and carried him to Gu Mingxia's side.
"Now it's time to let the baby try breastfeeding, Ms. Gu. Are you planning to breastfeed?"
"Of course, breast milk is best for the baby."
Gu Mingxia unbuttoned her hospital gown with some effort. Watching her baby, whose eyes were still closed, anxiously searching for food while clinging to her, a happy maternal glow shone on her face.
"Ms. Gu has just had surgery and is not yet ready to eat or drink. She should wait until she passes gas before she can eat. Her diet should be light and bland. She should not take too much tonic for the first three days. She can drink some black fish soup and millet porridge. Once her milk comes in, she can start eating more nutritious foods."
"Thank you."
Xiao Yan sat on the edge of the bed, looking at the radiance on Gu Mingxia's face, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on his lips.
"You're welcome. I'll be right outside the ward. Just call me if you need anything."
The VIP ward has its own nurse, so naturally the nurse wouldn't leave. Gu Mingxia and Xiao Yan smiled at her, and the nurse turned and left the ward.
"Xiaxia, thank you, thank you for giving me such a lovely daughter."
Xiao Yan looked at his daughter, who was lying on Gu Mingxia's body, greedily sucking on her, and the feeling of happiness in his heart was about to burst. Gu Mingxia reached out and stroked her daughter's thick black hair, and the smile on her lips became more and more obvious.
“This is our daughter. Even if we are not together, I will still give birth to her.”
This is her daughter, her closest relative in the world. For Gu Mingxia, who has always had little family affection, this is definitely of extraordinary significance.
Her gaze never left the baby. Xiao Yan felt a pang of jealousy, but considering that the baby was his daughter, he didn't say anything.
"By the way, Xiaxia, let's name our daughter."
"Then what do you suggest we call it?"
Gu Mingxia frowned. She really hadn't thought about the baby's name before, and Xiao Yan's suggestion really caught her off guard!
Xiao Yan felt a warm feeling in his heart when he saw Gu Mingxia's furrowed brows. This was the first time he had seen Gu Mingxia so confused and at a loss. He reached out and pinched her little nose, then turned his gaze to his daughter who was still breastfeeding.
"How about we call her Gu Qing?"
"You're going to let your daughter take the surname Gu?"
Gu Mingxia looked at Xiao Yan in disbelief, but Xiao Yan just smiled faintly, stood up and kissed Gu Mingxia on the cheek.
"Didn't we agree before that the first child would take your surname, and the second would take mine? Now that our daughter has been born, naturally she'll take the Gu surname!"
Seeing Xiao Yan's serious expression, Gu Mingxia smiled with emotion. She had only said it casually before, but she didn't expect Xiao Yan to really remember it.
"I was just saying it casually..."
"Xiaxia, I will remember whatever you say. Now your family is all alone, and my family is all alone. From now on, our two families will be one family. It doesn't matter whose surname the baby takes. Besides, no matter what she wakes up to, she's still my daughter!"
Xiao Yan's words made Gu Mingxia laugh. She looked down at her daughter and gently stroked her soft little face.
"Gu Qing, our daughter's name is Gu Qing, Xiao Qing'er. From now on, you will be called Xiao Qing'er, okay?"
Seeing Gu Mingxia overflowing with maternal love, Xiao Yan also felt a sense of happiness from the bottom of his heart, and the smile on his lips grew wider and wider.
This kind of life isn't bad at all. He has someone he loves deeply and a child with him. He can live a simple and peaceful life together. Perhaps this is what he and Gu Mingxia both wish for!
In the Bai family's villa, Bai Zixuan sat on the sofa, surrounded by scattered wine bottles.
Since Ah Huo's money entered Longteng Group, the company has indeed started to slowly get on the right track. However, every month, a huge amount of interest needs to be paid to the bank. After deducting this expense, there is not much money left in the company's account. As a result, Ah Huo's huge interest payment cannot be made on time, which makes Bai Zixuan very irritable.
On New Year's Eve, while everyone else was reunited with their families, he was all alone!
Because of Ye Xiaorou's death, Bai's mother harbored great resentment towards Bai Zixuan. After the baby returned to her side, she rarely came over, leaving Bai Zixuan alone in the entire villa, which appeared exceptionally lonely and desolate.
"They're all gone, one by one they've all left. Even a woman like Ye Xiaorou would rather die than stay by my side. I'm such a failure!"
Bai Zixuan tilted his head back and took a swig of wine, muttering to himself, his expression unreadable, neither happy nor forlorn.
He had always thought of his life as a success, but now it seems that Bai Zixuan was the biggest failure!
He married Gu Mingxia because he wanted the powerful backing of the Gu family, but who knew that the Gu family would expel Gu Mingxia from the family for insisting on marrying him? In the seven years of marriage, he did not get any benefits from the Gu family. If this were to be told, many people would not believe it, but it is the truth!
The most ironic thing is that right after he divorced Gu Mingxia, the Gu family took Gu Mingxia back in. Now that Gu Huaikun is dead, the entire Gu family will belong to Gu Mingxia. If he hadn't divorced Gu Mingxia back then, the Gu family would be his now!
But he wasn't lucky. At the very moment he was closest to success, he abandoned Gu Mingxia and chose Ye Xiaorou instead! During this time, Bai Zixuan felt a pain in his liver every time he thought about this.
Suddenly, his phone rang. Bai Zixuan picked it up groggily and answered it without even looking at it.
"Hey, who are you calling in the middle of the night, making harassing phone calls?"
"Gu Mingxia just gave birth to a daughter at Maria Hospital. Are you particularly angry and upset to hear this news?"
"Why did you tell me this news when you knew I would be angry and upset?"
"Nothing much, I just wanted to see you get angry and upset! Okay, message you, bye-bye, oh yeah, Happy New Year!"
Looking at the phone that had already been hung up, Bai Zixuan bit his lip and suddenly flung the phone against the opposite wall.
"Have a baby! Gu Mingxia, you did this on purpose! Now I understand, it's not that you can't have a baby, or that I can't have a baby, it's that you don't want to have a child with me! Fine, fine, Gu Mingxia, you'll regret this, you definitely will!"
