Chapter 131 New Dad is Online
Late at night, Ruan Xingchen woke up from an uneasy sleep. Waves of pain in her chest made her frown unconsciously.
Mo Xiaohan, who had been standing by her side, immediately noticed her movement. He leaned closer and asked, "What's wrong? Does the wound hurt?" His voice was a little nervous.
Ruan Xingchen's face flushed slightly. She lowered her eyes and said embarrassedly, "No...it seems...my milk is coming down, and I'm a little swollen."
Mo Xiaohan was stunned, obviously completely unfamiliar with this field.
He rang the call bell almost immediately, his tone was his usual commanding tone, but it was also filled with anxiety: "Call the nurse! Quickly!"
The nurse came in quickly, and after understanding the situation, she smiled and said to Ruan Xingchen, "Madam, this is normal, which means your milk supply is good. It's also coincidental that your baby is almost time to feed, so you can try feeding him yourself. Letting your baby suck more can relieve the bloating and pain, and help your milk come in sooner."
Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohan immediately asked the nanny to bring the little girl over.
The nanny carefully placed the baby next to Ruan Xingchen. The little guy seemed to smell the aroma of "food" and immediately arched his head into his mother's arms.
Under the guidance of the nanny, Ruan Xingchen adjusted her posture a little clumsily and tried to let the baby suck on her. The baby instinctively looked for the nipple and sucked it so hard that she gasped.
"No, the baby won't be able to hold the areola like this, and it will hurt you, ma'am." The nanny gently corrected Ruan Xingchen's gestures.
Ruan Xingchen took a deep breath and tried again.
This time, with the help of the nanny, the baby finally succeeded in holding it in his mouth and began to suck hard. The momentary pain made Ruan Xingchen hiss softly.
Just this sound made Mo Xiaohan's heart feel like it was being tugged at. He looked at Ruan Xingchen, whose brows were slightly furrowed due to breastfeeding, and asked, "Did he hurt you?" He took a step forward and said in a low and hoarse voice, "She is in pain. Is there any way to make it less painful?"
The nanny felt a little pressured by this powerful new father, but she still patiently explained, "Mr. Mo, it's like this at the beginning. It takes time for the mother and baby to adjust, and it will get better over time."
Looking at the sweat oozing from Ruan Xingchen's forehead due to the pain and tension of sucking, Mo Xiaohan's face became more and more gloomy.
He suddenly bent down, his palms protecting Ruan Xingchen's sides, but he didn't dare to touch her. The veins on his forehead throbbed slightly, and he could only warn the small ball with gritted teeth but had to lower his voice: "Little bastard, be gentle! Don't hurt your mother!"
Mo Xiaohan's "harsh words" to a baby who was only a few hours old made Ruan Xingchen, who was originally a little nervous, burst out laughing. Even the nanny next to her couldn't help laughing and turned her head away to hide her smile.
"What are you doing?" Ruan Xingchen glanced at him angrily, but her tone was soft. "He was only born a few hours ago, what does he know?"
The little guy who was being "protected" by his mother was completely unaware and was still "working" hard.
Looking at the little guy's cheeks bulging and Ruan Xingchen's brow gradually relaxing, a complex emotion mixed with heartache, novelty and great satisfaction surged in his chest.
Mo Xiaohan's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, but his eyes were still fixed on the mother and son.
After feeding one side, it was time to switch to the other. Ruan Xingchen wanted to do it herself, but Mo Xiaohan had already taken the lead and tried to help hold the baby with extremely gentle movements.
But his hands, which were used to holding a gun, seemed extremely clumsy and stiff at this moment. He was afraid that if he used too much force, the delicate baby would be hurt, and he was also afraid that the wrong posture would make Ruan Xingchen even more uncomfortable.
"Mr. Mo, you can support the baby's head and neck with your hands like this." The nanny gently instructed, "Yes, support it..."
Mo Xiaohan followed the instructions strictly, his expression focused. He carefully held the incredibly soft little body, even breathing slowly, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
Ruan Xingchen felt his heart soften when he saw him like this.
This man who is cold and violent in front of outsiders is now trying hard to learn to be a gentle and considerate husband and father for her and the children. Although his movements are clumsy, they are full of the most sincere love.
Finally, the baby was full, smacked his lips contentedly, and fell asleep in his father's still stiff arms.
Mo Xiaohan then breathed a sigh of relief. He sat back on the bed, picked up a warm towel, and carefully wiped the sweat from Ruan Xingchen's forehead. His movements were incredibly gentle.
"Thank you for your hard work, Xingxing," he whispered and kissed her forehead.
Ruan Xingchen shook her head and leaned into his arms, looking at the sleeping baby, her face filled with maternal radiance and happiness: "It's not hard. Xiaohan, look at him, he's so cute."
Mo Xiaohan followed her gaze and saw that the little guy whom he once called "little tyrant" was now as quiet and harmless as a little angel.
His gaze fell back on Ruan Xingchen's slightly tired but satisfied face, and his heart was surrounded by an unprecedented sense of calmness and fullness.
The "cultivation" journey of the new dad has just begun.
