“Names are a big deal. I need to have someone calculate it. You can’t just pick any name. There are specific reasons behind your names.”
"Dad, that's superstition."
"Zhizhi, you have to listen to your father on this matter. You're a mother now, you can't be too willful."
"Look at the roses that the young master prepared for you in advance."
Ma Xiaorong pulled back the curtain a little, and Xiang Nanzhi saw a large expanse of roses. A smile appeared on her face. "Thank you, brother."
"There's no need for thanks among family members; we're just happy with it."
"like."
Xiang Nanzhi was exhausted. "I want to drink some porridge."
Everything was ready. Ma Xiaorong gave the nanny a look, signaling her to go out and get some food. It was all light and nutritious postpartum meals.
"Zhizhi, Daddy will take Tangyuan out first."
"Wait, tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
"Dad just said that his head is round like a glutinous rice ball, so we'll call him Tangyuan for now."
"Let's call her Tangyuan (Sweet Rice Ball) as her nickname."
"I'll listen to you."
Xiang Zhengyi carried the child out, while Xiang Nanzhi still held onto Shen Shixun's hand without letting go.
She was impulsive and said, "I want to eat osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice balls."
"I'm afraid this might be hard to digest?"
"I'll have a bite if I want to eat it."
"Oh well."
Ma Xiaorong glanced at the postpartum nanny and said, "Make the osmanthus-flavored glutinous rice balls smaller."
Xiang Nan gave birth to her child safely, and the entire Xiang family was filled with joy.
Soon everyone left the ward, and Xiang Nanzhi asked the nannies who were waiting to take care of her to go outside as well. The place suddenly became quiet, so quiet that only the two of them were left.
"There's really nothing between me and Li Luchuan, don't be angry."
"without."
Shen Shixun suddenly didn't know what to say. Thinking of how she had been in excruciating pain during childbirth, he felt guilty towards her.
"I'll get angry if I see you so high up. What if you fall?"
"I often work like this."
He personally inspected every part of the construction site. There had been times like this before, but whether Xiang Nan knew about it or not was another matter.
"Does it still hurt?"
"pain."
As soon as Xiang Nanzhi finished speaking, she couldn't help but burst into tears, "It hurts so much."
He saw it; there was a lot of blood. He didn't know if it was normal, but the doctors and nurses were so calm that he knew it wasn't a big problem.
"Thank you."
"What are you thanking me for?"
"Thank you for giving birth to this child for me."
"This is also my child, Shen Shixun. You will never mention divorce again. I will really mean it."
He didn't speak, but Xiang Nanzhi's eyelids were drooping, and she could barely keep her eyes open. "Come a little closer."
The man sat down beside her, bent down slightly, and offered her his arm, saying, "I'm dirty."
"It doesn't matter."
Let her hold on; she'll sleep soundly when she feels Shen Shixun's presence.
He fell asleep quickly, the doctor applied medicine to her, and Ma Xiaorong brought in food a little while later.
The noise didn't wake her, but the aroma of food made her open her eyes.
It was already past midnight, and Xiang Nanzhi was too tired to chat. She ate a little of everything, and Xiang Zhengyi took the child to the next room to make milk for the baby himself.
None of the family members left the hospital.
Shen Shixun stayed with her alone in the dark for a long time before receiving a call from Zhang Yandong. Only then did he go to the first floor of the hospital to answer the call.
"Are you crazy? Are you joking or serious?"
"real."
Zhang Yandong was silent for a moment, then said, "Are you and Xiang Nanzhi really going to take this step?"
"Sooner or later, they will make their move even if I don't."
“I can help you, but I’m not sure if it will be successful. I still have project collaborations with the Xiang family.”
"I won't make things difficult for you."
Zhang Yandong didn't know where he got the courage to take the child away from the Xiang family.
If it were him, he wouldn't even dare to think about it.
"Xiang Nanzhi will not let you off the hook."
"She can't find me."
Shen Shixun turned around and glanced at the hospital, which was still brightly lit even in the dead of night.
He could never look for another woman for the rest of his life because of this child. He hoped that his child could stay by his side instead of being kicked away by the Xiang family and never being able to see him again.
If he doesn't make a decision now, he may never see his child again.
If Xiang Nanzhi decides he doesn't want to see him after a few years, then he won't show him any leniency...
Xiang Nanzhi slept soundly until dawn, but in the middle of the night he tossed and turned in pain, yet dared not move too obviously.
She didn't want to breastfeed her child herself, so she had the postpartum nanny feed the baby at the prescribed times. The nanny lived outside, while Xiang Nanzhi lived inside. Separated by a screen, she could hear the baby crying.
But she was too tired; she didn't want to wake up at all and just wanted to rest.
Shen Shixun stayed close to her, lying beside her, listening to her every breath and every turn she made in her sleep.
——
A few days later, Xiang Nanzhi was discharged from the hospital. Jiang Yao still hadn't shown up. Xiang Nanzhi took the initiative to call Jiang Yao and learned that her teahouse business was doing well. Jiang Yuxin had caused her trouble several times, but hadn't gained anything.
She also went to her father, Jiang Yi, wanting to find out about her mother's inheritance, but Jiang Yi didn't even answer her calls.
Jiang Yao felt guilty towards Xiang Nanzhi's child and wanted to see her, but she also felt that everything was caused by her.
It was just like any other chat, but Jiang Yao started crying as they talked, saying, "I'm so sorry."
"I'm sorry for nothing. I'm quite happy now. It's just that I haven't decided on a name for my child yet. My dad said he wants to find a fortune teller, which I find strange."
