Chapter 343 Little Divine Beast
Because they were afraid of disturbing Lin Shutang's rest, after the child was born, the aunt took care of the child while he slept most of the time.
Only occasionally, when Li Yansheng came home late, would Lin Shutang have the opportunity to bring the child to sleep with him. Moreover, when he came back, he would most likely take the child away.
Ms. Lin complained to Mr. Li many times about this matter, but Mr. Li, who always doted on his wife, never compromised.
…
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Shutang was still drawing the draft when he received a call from Li Yansheng.
"Hello." She turned on the speakerphone and placed the phone on the table. The sound of the capacitive stylus poking the screen was particularly obvious to the person on the other end through the receiver.
Li Yansheng heard the voice and asked, "What are you doing?"
Lin Shutang continued to draw without stopping. She used a tablet to draw her comics. Li Yansheng usually didn't look at her tablet, so he didn't know about her comics yet. And now, Lin Shutang hadn't told him yet, "Playing games, what's wrong?"
Li Yansheng: "Is the child well behaved today?"
Lin Shutang turned her head to look at the child, who had just fallen asleep from crying, and her face was still covered with tears that she hadn't had time to clean. She stood up and walked to the balcony, closed the door, and then said with a smile, "You don't know your daughter yet. If she doesn't cry, she's not a little beast. She's cried three times since noon..."
For over half an hour, she talked about the child and some gossip she'd heard from her aunt today about the relationship between the man and woman next door, who were seemingly married and not on good terms. Li Yansheng would occasionally chime in, but mostly just listened quietly.
At work, Li Yansheng mostly focused on whether anything he did was useful or not. Listening to Lin Shutang chat about such meaningless topics never bored him. Instead, every such chat made him feel incredibly relaxed.
"Drink less. If you're still drunk like last time, you can sleep in the guest room." Then, as if realizing the threat wasn't having any effect, she added, "One week."
"Okay." Li Yansheng replied.
In the monosyllables of his words, one could hear his obvious pleasure. Such restrained words, without any impatience or displeasure, only tenderness.
Thinking of what his wife had just said, he smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, honey. I'll bring you a gift when I get home tonight."
Hearing his name, Lin Shutang's face flushed, and a sweet feeling lingered in her heart. At this moment, Wen Lang's voice seemed to materialize, as if he was already standing in front of her.
Lin Shutang could imagine that Li Yansheng's eyes must have been full of tenderness when he said this.
She was silent for a long time. Li Yansheng did not hang up the phone, but just waited quietly until she said "OK" and then said goodbye.
…
Li Yansheng returned home before midnight. He went to the guest room to wash up before entering the room. Upon entering, he saw a mother and daughter, one large and one small, lying in bed.
Probably because he was afraid of crushing the child, there was a distance of an adult between the wife and the child.
Li Yansheng sat down and touched Lin Shutang's cheek with his hand. Looking at the scene, he felt like laughing more and more.
When he came home late, she often brought the child to the master bedroom, but she didn't dare to get too close to him. Even his sleeping posture was much more restrained than usual.
Besides the fact that the child would cry at night, this was also an important reason why Li Yansheng did not let the child sleep with them. If the child was around, Lin Shutang would feel too constrained and tired when sleeping.
Thinking of this, Li Yansheng leaned over and picked up his daughter.
The child probably slept too much during the day and didn't sleep very deeply at night. As soon as Li Yansheng picked her up, she opened her eyes in a daze.
The seven-month-old child could recognize people. After opening his eyes, he stared at Li Yansheng for a long time, as if to confirm whether the person holding him was someone he knew.
The child inherited her mother's characteristics, with skin that is whiter than usual, and more hair than ordinary children, with a slight curl.
At this moment, he is not crying or making a fuss, just sucking his hands, with his big eyes wide open and bright, looking so well-behaved that it makes people feel soft-hearted.
Li Yansheng put his face close to the little girl and was about to kiss her when the little girl raised her hand and hit him in the face.
It didn't hurt, but the resistance on her face was too obvious.
His daughter wasn't usually like this, but now that she was like this, Li Yansheng remembered that it was probably because he smelled of alcohol. So, he stopped what he was doing and walked out with the child in his arms, saying gently, "It's Daddy's fault. I forgot I drank tonight and Xiaoxiao was smelled."
The aunt who was taking care of the children at night was not a very deep sleeper. When she heard Li Yansheng's voice, she opened the door and came out, intending to take over: "Sir."
Li Yansheng nodded, carried the child into the nursery, and after placing her in the crib, he saw that she was still looking at him, so he gently rubbed her face with his fingertips and smiled, "You're just as spoiled as your mother."
