Chapter 176 - Child-Raising (1)

After giving him a thorough look.

Yan Cheng lowered his gaze and looked downwards.

He just stood there in shock as he slightly pursed his lips.

It was as if he didn’t hear the nurse’s words as she rushed out of the delivery room just now, as if all that had happened was out of sight and out of mind. He suddenly snapped out of his trance as he slowly leaned down, his peach blossom eyes squinted, jet black eyelashes were facing down. Through the layer of glass, he raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly, “Oh, little boy, it doesn’t matter if you’re ugly.”

Half-jokingly, a gentle loving tone sounded.

He was his son, the little life that his wife gave birth to after 10 months of pregnancy and a few hours of immense pain.

Yan Cheng raised his hand and tapped the glass cover twice, before he smiled with raised eyebrows, “Welcome, little guy.”

The little guy curled his lips, he didn’t cry nor did he make a big fuss, and dozed off to sleep.

How obedient.

Yan Cheng’s beautiful peach blossom eyes flashed with a gleam of light, after giving it some thought, he took out his phone and turned on the camera, constantly adjusted the angle, as he looked for the right lighting, he clicked focus, and pressed the shutter button when he was sure that the shot was good at that angle.

He took another photo of his tiny feet, typed the caption, and uploaded it to Wechat Moments.

Soon, he received a few rows of likes and comments saying “congratulations” or teasing him about how tough his life would be in the future.

There were also some that knew what to do, such as Tai and Shao Chongsi, who didn’t say much, and directly sent him red packets.

………

He showed Chen Jinyao the picture.

Just when he thought he might not get a response from Chen Jinyao or that Chen Jinyao would exclaim “how cute” as she was his mother, Chen Jinyao said in a slow manner: “Hey, so wrinkly, he’s ugly.”

Yan Cheng: “……”

**********

She just had a taste of hell.

But unexpectedly, the following days were like infernal hell.

The first to bear with was the confinement routine that was passed down from generation to generation.

She couldn’t be in the wind and catch a cold, and there were many more. What’s more, she couldn’t wash her hair nor take a bath. It was chilly in May, with only a few days of intense heat. Even so, it really was unbearable for Chen Jinyao.

She laid in bed almost every day, motionlessly, to the extent that her bones felt crisp.

“No wonder many people slump into depression after childbirth, it’s because all they do is lie down.” Chen Jinyao had Yan Chi in her arms. After Mother Chen’s guidance, she now held him the right way, but the little guy was very soft and fragile. Once she had him in her arms, whether it was Yan Cheng or her, they would immediately freeze and didn’t dare to move rashly. She lowered her gaze and locked firmly on the little guy.

The sunset in the evening sky automatically turned into warm colors and poured in through the windows.

Yan Cheng listened to her and frowned, “I think it’s mainly because of all the overthinking from having too much free time on hand, so don’t keep it all cooped up, just say whatever that’s on your mind, I’m here, aren’t I.”

“……” Chen Jinyao was speechless, rolled her eyes, sneered, and replied half-jokingly: “You’re not even here every day.”

Zhiyuan Technology is doing very well these days.

Now, the senior management are planning to get the company listed.

But a plan is still just a plan, the realization of this plan would be a very long journey.

So before that, being swamped with work and working overtime is a given.

Upon hearing this, the man raised his eyebrows in a calm manner, expressionlessly, and said: “If I’m not here, there’s still other people here with you, right?”

There was a pause, as if he was reminded of something.

He suddenly sounded cocky, with a smirk on his face, “Hearing your tone from just now, it seems that you can’t bear to leave my side.”

“……” Chen Jinyao resisted the urge to roll her eyes again, and looked away.

This uncontrolled self-confidence that came from nowhere was the most terrifying.

Or more accurately, his narcissism.

Yan Cheng didn’t notice that there was something wrong with Chen Jinyao, so he continued to be complacent: “I’m very happy that you feel this way.”

“From now on, I’ll be the big tree for the both of you.”

“Shielding you two from the wind and rain.” He became a total chatterbox, she wasn’t sure if it was because he was influenced by Mother Yan and Mother Chen, he’s become rather long-winded recently, “So? Are you very moved by my speech?”

The corners of Chen Jinyao’s lips twitched fiercely.
