Chapter 724 The son woke up and looked for his mother to play; when he cried, his father comforted him.
Considering the immense physical strain Shen Anning suffered during childbirth, Qi Yue extended her postpartum confinement period to two months.
By the time Shen Anning finished her postpartum confinement, the twins had already turned two months old, and they were chubby, healthy, and adorable.
In November, the northern part of the city entered early winter, and cold air swept in, but it still couldn't stop Shen Anning from going out.
Qi Yue knew that she was really tired of staying at home for the past two months. Although the elders of both families and Shen Anning's childhood friends often came to visit her, not going out for two whole months was something no one could stand.
Therefore, Qi Yue specially set aside a day to personally take Shen Anning shopping and to the movies.
The couple hadn't had any time alone together in a long time.
Shen Anning got up early and carefully put on makeup, but broke down when choosing clothes.
Qi Yue was already prepared and went to the nursery to check on her two sons.
Everything was ready, but Shen Anning was nowhere to be seen.
...
In the walk-in closet, Shen Anning stood in front of the full-length mirror, holding a dress, looking dejected.
As soon as Qi Yue entered, he saw her like this and immediately went to her side, raising his hand to touch her forehead. Her temperature was normal.
He felt a little relieved and looked at her listless appearance. "What's wrong?"
“This is the dress I wore before I was pregnant,” Shen Anning said in a muffled voice, “but I can’t wear it anymore.”
Qi Yue: "..."
"I want to lose weight!" Shen Anning frowned as she looked at Qi Yue. "I need a yoga teacher!"
“Okay, I’ll have Zhuang Yu invite the most professional yoga teacher to come to our home.”
"I also need a weight loss nutritionist!"
"Okay, let Zhuang Yu make the arrangements."
"You're so eager?" Shen Anning narrowed her beautiful eyes, pursed her lips, and suddenly widened her eyes, pointing her slender fingertips at Qi Yue, "You also think I'm fat now, right?"
"..." Qi Yue felt utterly wronged. "You're not fat, at most you've just... gained weight from happiness?"
"Qi Yue!" Shen Anning stamped her foot.
Qi Yue chuckled and raised his hands in surrender, admitting his mistake: "I was just kidding. You're not fat at all. You're just the right size."
"You're lying through your teeth!" Shen Anning said angrily, "I've gained five pounds since I was pregnant!"
"You used to be too thin, this is just right."
"But I love how I used to be!" Shen Anning pouted. "Now that I'm this weight, I can't fit into a lot of pretty dresses!"
"...Personalized customization is available..."
"No way!" Shen Anning declared with unwavering determination. "I'm determined to lose these extra five pounds! I won't leave the house until I'm slim!"
Qi Yue: "...?"
Shen Anning put down her skirt and stormed out of the dressing room.
Qi Yue hurriedly chased after her and grabbed her wrist, "Aren't you going out on your date?"
"No, I don't want it." Shen Anning said firmly.
"I booked movie tickets for that foreign romance film you said you really liked."
Shen Anning: "..."
"VIP cinema, watch while lying down."
Shen Anning: "...It's not like I have to watch it today, I can watch it later..."
"There may not be any more screenings in the future. Of course, if you don't necessarily want to go to the cinema, you can watch it at home in your home theater."
"Then let's just watch it at home!" Shen Anning pouted and said, "Even if I go out, I want to look beautiful and confident. Right now, I really don't want to go out."
"Okay, if you don't want to go out, then we won't go out. We can stay home and watch the show."
"Honey, you're so good to me."
Shen Anning leaned over and hugged Qi Yue's waist, resting her chin on his firm chest. Her beautiful eyes curved, and her bright pupils reflected Qi Yue's handsome face.
"You're so nice to me, I don't even want to go back to work!"
For two months, without leaving the house, Qi Yue provided Shen Anning with ample companionship and emotional support. Shen Anning's dependence on him had already seeped into her bones little by little during those two months of day and night.
Now she no longer suppresses her feelings of liking and dependence on Qi Yue. She will act like she did today, throwing a little tantrum in front of Qi Yue because of her weight, but after Qi Yue coaxes her a few times, she immediately softens and acts coquettishly.
When two people get together, they start by exploring each other's personalities and eventually find ways to complement each other's.
Shen Anning has now returned to the state of relying on and trusting Qi Yue as she used to. However, because of her experiences five years ago, she has also learned to pay attention to Qi Yue's needs. Knowing that he likes her to be clingy and act coquettish, she takes the initiative to cling to Qi Yue and often acts coquettishly towards him.
Every time Shen Anning saw Qi Yue's deliberately suppressed smile, she felt not only sweetness but also satisfaction.
Fortunately, they have another chance.
Fortunately, she has grown up, and now she can truly bring happiness to Qi Yue.
Just like now, when she acted coquettishly, Qi Yue hugged her and chuckled, "If you don't want to work, you can stay home. I'll earn money to support you and the kids, but only if you're willing."
Qi Yue didn't hold the outdated notion that women should stay home and be good wives and mothers after marriage. He knew that Shen Anning must have put in a lot of hard work to become an excellent lawyer.
That was the glory a girl earned through her youthful hard work, and she shouldn't have to give it up just because she became a wife and mother.
"I'll rest for a while longer before saying anything," Shen Anning said. "Mainly because my son is still young, and I'm a little reluctant to leave them."
Qi Yue smiled and lowered his head to kiss her forehead. "Don't you miss me at all?"
"Yes," Shen Anning said softly, "I'll miss you the most~"
Qi Yue gently pinched the tip of her nose, "Are you trying to coax me like you have two sons?"
Shen Anning blinked, "I could never have given birth to such a domineering and shameless son as you!"
Qi Yue chuckled softly, cupped Shen Anning's face in his large hands, and lowered his head to kiss her lips.
Shen Anning's eyelashes trembled slightly, and the hands around the man's waist tightened slightly.
Qi Yue was concerned about Shen Anning's health, so he kept his intimacy with her to a minimum during this period.
After the kiss ended, he pulled Shen Anning out of the room and headed downstairs to the media room.
As I passed the nursery, I heard my little brother's loud, clear cries.
Shen Anning wanted to go in and take a look, but Qi Yue wouldn't let her.
"My son is crying..."
“It’s either because he’s pooped or hungry. With a postpartum nanny here, you don’t need to worry about it.” Qi Yue remained unmoved. “Your task now is to accompany your husband on a date and to the movies.”
Shen Anning, "..."
There was nothing she could do; she was a mother without breast milk. When her child cried and fussed, she didn't have the confidence to say that the child was looking for its mother.
Two months after giving birth, she hadn't changed the baby's diaper once. Qi Yue would only bring the baby over to play with her after the baby had slept and eaten his fill. She was an exceptionally relaxed mother.
Every time Chu Yuke came to visit Shen Anning, seeing Shen Anning's postpartum life, she couldn't help but sigh: "You raise your son like a pet. It makes me want to get married and have children."
Shen Anning was quite helpless about this. It wasn't that she didn't want to take care of the child, but Qi Yue simply wouldn't allow it!
She protested to Qi Yue more than once, using both soft and hard tactics, but Qi Yue remained unmoved.
He said: "The nanny takes good care of me so I can eat and sleep well. When my son wakes up, he wants to play with his mother. When he cries, his father comforts him. The division of labor is clear and very reasonable."
Shen Anning couldn't argue with him, so she sulked. But then the man pinned her down on the sofa and kissed her until she was breathless. In the end, she was so dizzy that she forgot all about being angry.
...
Qi Yue doesn't actually agree with the idea of postpartum weight loss, but he hopes Shen Anning will be happy and confident.
Shen Anning is currently dissatisfied with her figure, and even though he disagrees, he still respects Shen Anning's requirements for herself.
She loves beauty and is determined to lose weight, so he will help her lose weight in the most scientific and healthy way.
