"This..." The crowd looked at each other in bewilderment.
Where did the baby go?
Just as everyone was frantically searching for the baby, Chu Ningxuan ran out from the next room.
"Here! Here! The baby's here." She then placed the child beside the bed.
"Wanwan, look how much this little guy looks like his uncle, they're practically identical." Chu Ningxuan said with a smug look.
Everyone: ...
Shi Wan ignored her brainless second brother and continued to play with the baby next to her.
Looking at the baby, Lu's mother said with a smile, "Wanwan, this little boy's eyebrows and eyes are like yours. He will definitely be very handsome when he grows up. However, his little mouth is exactly the same as Lu Jingyan's when he was a child. What a pity."
Lu Jingyan: Thank you, but it's a pity there's something else going on.
Lu's mother picked up her grandson and handed him to Lu's father, saying, "Look, doesn't he look just like Wanwan?"
The two families took turns holding the baby until the infant cried loudly, and even when they handed the baby over to the nurse, they seemed reluctant to let go.
The more Lu's mother looked at him, the more she liked him. "It's a good thing this boy looks like Wanwan. When he grows up, he'll definitely charm a lot of girls with his looks."
“Wanwan, we won’t have any more children. You can do whatever you want. Mom will take you abroad. We’ll see whales, swim in glaciers, and see the aurora. Tell Mom which country you want to go to first, and Mom will arrange it for you.”
Lu Jingyan said, "Mom, your daughter-in-law has a husband too."
"Oh, what a pity." Mrs. Lu's eyes showed disappointment.
Lu Jingyan: What's with all the disappointment? What a loving mother.
The Chu family was shocked by how Lu Jingyan was berated by his mother; they had seen Lu Jingyan fawn over Shi Wan before.
But I've never seen someone get so badly criticized by Lu's mother.
However, the Chu family members standing nearby all felt that their in-laws treated Wanwan even better than their own son.
After all, while other people's mothers-in-law keep urging them to have more children, Lu's mother wants to have as few as possible.
Lu Jingyan looked at his father with resentment, but the father didn't even look at him.
"Alright, you're just getting in the way here. You don't know how to take care of the child either. Why don't you go and get Wanwan some food?"
Mr. Lu gave him a disdainful look and was unwilling to say more than a few words to him.
Considering Shi Wan's health, the group did not stay in the ward for long.
Before leaving, Lu's mother specifically instructed the wet nurse in the next room not to disturb Shi Wan's rest unless there was something wrong.
The two Chu brothers, their parents, Chu Zhi, and two babies stayed in the next room for a long time before leaving.
After leaving the hospital, Chu's mother glared at Chu Ningxuan with a resentful look.
Chu Ningxuan, who was inexplicably disliked: ...
What's wrong with his mother again?
He recognized that look; not long ago, he had messed up a blind date, and his mother had given him the same look when he got home.
Chu Ningxuan suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. "Mom, just say what you want to say. Your son can handle it, except for blind dates."
Chu's mother looked at him with a sinister gaze, "Son, if a woman won't do, a man will do."
Seeing that several of Chu Ningxuan's friends had girlfriends, were engaged, or had children, only this good-for-nothing son was still single.
A few years ago, when those children were still not settled, she wasn't worried about Chu Ningxuan being single.
Not long after, the children he watched grow up were all married, but Chu Ningxuan, that simpleton, acted as if nothing had happened.
She and Chu Zhi had introduced him to potential partners before, but each time they either stood him up or deliberately ruined the date.
Chu's mother mustered her courage and said, "If you have a boy you like, you can bring him home so I can see him."
Chu Ningxuan's scalp began to tingle. "Mom, your son is a real man, and I like women."
The atmosphere inside the car remained quiet for a long time.
finally.
"Son, if you have something you can't talk about, tell your brother and ask him to take you to see a doctor. If it can't be treated in China, ask him to take you abroad. Doesn't Ji Chu have a research lab overseas? Why don't you go and take a look?"
Chu Ningyi, who was mentioned, gave Chu Ningxuan a deep look.
Chu Ningyi: I see.
Chu Ningxuan: Oh my god! Nobody thinks you're an idiot if you don't overthink things!
“Mom,” Chu Ningxuan said helplessly, “Ji Chu’s research lab is working on neuroscience, it has nothing to do with me.”
"Oh." Mother Chu nodded knowingly.
"Wait a minute, I heard that kind of illness might also be related to neurological issues..."
"Mom, just hope your son does well. It's already pitiful enough that no one wants him." Chu Ningxuan simply closed his eyes and turned to the other side.
Seeing that Chu Ningxuan ignored her, Chu's mother awkwardly shut her mouth, but she still took out her phone and sent a message.
Her friend's daughter had just returned to China and was already hailed as a urology expert at a young age. With her help, how could her son not be cured?
...
Kyoto Hospital.
Shi Wan had just finished eating the dinner that Lu's mother had brought her and was chatting with her.
Lu Jingyan, standing to the side, frantically held his son and rocked him back and forth.
"Lu Jingyan, you're giving me a headache," Lu's mother said with a hint of annoyance.
"This brat has a bad temper. He cries nonstop as soon as he's in my arms. He wasn't like this when Wanwan held him." Lu Jingyan frowned.
This brat really is here to compete for his favor.
Mrs. Lu frowned. "You brat, you have so much time to learn how to take care of children, and now you want Wanwan to take care of them for you? So you can enjoy your retirement?"
After saying this, she wiped away imaginary tears, "My life is truly miserable. My husband is unkind, and my son is unfilial. I haven't enjoyed any happiness since I gave birth to you two siblings. I raised you from infancy, changing your diapers and feeding you. Now, you unfilial son want to drag our Wanwan down with you, making you serve tea, pour water, and take care of the children. Women, oh women..."
"Stop!" Lu Jingyan decisively stopped his mother's wailing.
"Your husband is at the door." Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow and looked towards the door of the ward.
Lu's mother stiffened, slowly turned around, and awkwardly curled the corners of her mouth. "Husband, what brings you here?"
Mr. Lu carried a thermos in one hand and a shawl in the other, his eyes brimming with barely suppressed grievance.
"Husband, that's not what I meant..." Mrs. Lu's mind was buzzing; she hadn't expected Mr. Lu to appear.
Who knows that she never did any housework after marrying into the Lu family. After giving birth, Lu's father did all the work himself, from making formula and bathing his son to changing diapers.
She only needed to raise her hand and her father obediently took care of it for her.
"You, you!" Before she could finish speaking, she shoved the things into the nurse's hand as she entered, and ran off with a slightly aggrieved expression, like a wronged wife.
Shi Wan: ? ? ?
Lu Jingyan: ...
Lu's mother: !!!
"Honey! No, it's not what you think."
"My dear Wanwan, you and Ayan can talk some more. If you're tired, hand the baby over to the wet nurse. Mom has other things to do!"
After saying that, he picked up his bag and chased after her.
Shi Wan sighed helplessly, "It's you again."
"Hmm, otherwise she'd be lecturing him until dawn." Lu Jingyan raised an eyebrow smugly.
Shi Wan really didn't have much energy to care about him. A wave of drowsiness washed over her, and Lu Jingyan walked to the bedside and rubbed her head.
"Tired?"
"Hmm." Shi Wan's long eyelashes drooped, and her eyes narrowed uncontrollably.
"Go to sleep, I'll stay with you."
Lu Jingyan sat on the edge of the bed and tucked her in. As he got up, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Where are we going?" Shi Wan poked her little head out from under the covers.
A hand instinctively grabbed the hem of his clothes, and a pair of watery eyes looked pitiful, like an abandoned kitten whining to him.
"Will you sleep with me?"
