Free Web NovelChapter 181: Chapter 181: Mu Manman
When the nurse handed over the child, Mu Ran first lowered her head to look at the wrinkled little bundle, her hands swaying left and right, as if she were holding a steering wheel ready to drive, feeling very nervous.
"It’s okay, I’m watching. This is your little niece, try holding her." The nurse encouraged.
Mu Ran took a deep breath before picking up the soft little baby. An extraordinary feeling welled up inside her. She stiffened all over, afraid that she might accidentally drop the baby. freewebnσvel.cøm
The baby blinked one eye open, still unable to see clearly the person in front.
But Mu Ran said excitedly, "The first person she saw is me."
The nurse smiled and nodded, not exposing the truth.
Mu Ran carefully bent her knees, letting Chu Xijin see his sister, "Isn’t she cute?"
Chu Xijin watched his sister’s tiny hands move about, staring blankly, "She’s so small."
"Yeah, so little."
As she held the seemingly weightless child, she didn’t dare move around much. Every move felt as slow as a sloth, replayed countless times.
Chu Xijin stretched out his finger and retracted it quickly, afraid of hurting her, "What’s my sister’s name?"
"I don’t know yet..."
"Wah wah wah wah..."
Mu Ran’s eyes widened.
Chu Xijin stepped back abruptly.
The two of them were equally clumsy. The nurse could barely suppress her laughter as she took the child over, saying, "I’ll take her to see the dad."
"Okay."
Mu Ran felt relieved.
Oh my, cold sweat was about to break out on her forehead.
Inside with Xiao Jin, Mu Ran also asked her sister-in-law, "Is it very tiring?"
"Yes." Feng Qikuo nodded with a pale face. "I used to look forward to it, but you know, people only understand after experiencing things firsthand."
"Makes sense. Are you going to be moved to another room now?"
"Yes, I delivered early, so I’ll have to stay in the hospital for seven days." Feng Qikuo was very grateful that both she and the baby were fine.
"Why was it early?" Mu Ran slightly frowned.
"Too tired." Feng Qikuo forced a smile.
Looking at his wrinkly little daughter, Mu Dixin suddenly frowned. It couldn’t just be from being too tired; he had been monitoring her work and health closely and would make her rest at the slightest sign of trouble.
But she seemed fine.
Yet, there was an accident.
Thinking of the time Mu Ran was set up on a variety show, a cold light flashed in Mu Dixin’s eyes.
"Wah wah wah wah..."
The baby cried for a third time.
Feng Qikuo wanted to hold her, so they moved her to another room first before letting Feng Qikuo hold her. Feng Qikuo pressed her forehead against her daughter’s, her face full of tenderness, "The baby is so cute."
The child moved her mouth.
She blinked both eyes open, blankly staring at her mother.
Mu Ran silently watched from the side.
Her eyes were also slightly red.
The birth of new life, the moment when bloodlines connect, always touches the heart deeply.
"Sister-in-law, what’s the child’s name?"
"Your big brother and I argued for a long time and couldn’t decide, so let’s think more." Feng Qikuo smiled helplessly, then gently poked the little girl’s cheek, "Baby, tell mom if you like a particular name, okay?"
The baby’s lips curled up slightly in a smile.
Feng Qikuo stared blankly, her own eyes gradually welling up, "The baby smiled? So cute, the cutest little princess in the world, right?"
"Don’t cry, it’s bad for your eyes." Mu Dixin reminded.
The person ruining the moment got a glare from Feng Qikuo, "Go think of a name for me."
Mu Dixin looked awkward.
"You should eat something, put the child down."
Feng Qikuo observed him. She noticed that when he rushed in to see her, he shed tears, but other than that, including holding the child, he didn’t show much emotion. "Don’t you like daughters?"
"Why wouldn’t I like my own daughter?" Mu Dixin was bewildered.
"Then why aren’t you excited?" Feng Qikuo questioned.
Mu Ran also watched.
Adding to the mockery, she said, "Exactly, when others see their child born, they scream with excitement. You’re calmer than guests."
"Mu Ran, I warn you, don’t fan the flames," Mu Dixin scolded Mu Ran, then explained to his wife, "I just don’t feel familiar with her yet."
Feng Qikuo: "???"
Mu Ran: "???"
Chu Xijin: "???"
The three of them were full of question marks, it’s your own daughter, and you’re not familiar with her?
Amazing.
Mu Dixin found it hard to describe his feelings. When the child was in Feng Qikuo’s belly, he was quite happy every night telling stories to the baby.
But suddenly seeing the child.
Really, not familiar at all!
The last time he interacted with such a little child could be traced back to when Mu Ran was born. At that time, he was quite happy and excited, even sneaking his sister away from the hospital to introduce her to all his close friends.
Which led to him being beaten up and walking with a limp, but he still loved his sister.
But for some reason...
Seeing his daughter.
Very calm.
The baby shouldn’t be wrong, but to prevent any soap opera incidents, this whole hospital was monitored, no chance for another baby.
Mu Dixin looked at his daughter.
Baby: "Wah wah wah wah..."
Feng Qikuo concluded, "Maybe the child sensed you don’t like her and that’s why she cried."
Mu Dixin quickly picked up the child to pacify her, "Daddy doesn’t dislike you, just waiting to get familiar with you, you need to grow up slowly."
The baby gradually calmed down.
Mu Dixin suddenly felt a sense of achievement.
Feng Qikuo knew his cold nature, so she didn’t dwell on it. After eating, an overwhelming sense of drowsiness hit her, and she gradually fell asleep.
As the kid’s father, Mu Dixin personally mixed milk powder for the baby. The child didn’t know how to drink yet, but Mu Dixin was very patient, gently coaxing her to learn to suckle.
Mu Ran sent a message on the phone to have things sent over. After receiving the items, she placed a box and a card on the bedside table next to Feng Qikuo, leaving a sticky note saying, "The card is for the baby, the jade is for you, you’ve worked hard."
After doing this.
Mu Ran also took Chu Xijin and left.
When Feng Qikuo woke up and saw the card and jade, she smiled, "Xiao Ran is really generous."
She then took the child over and said with a smile, "Baby, your aunt just made you a billionaire."
The baby’s eyes blinked, then she fell asleep.
After falling asleep, her mouth curled up slightly, perhaps happy about having such a large sum of money right after being born.
Mu Dixin looked at his sleeping daughter, and a smile finally appeared on his lips, "She’s like Mu Ran, smiling on their first day of sleep."
"That’s so wonderful."
Feng Qikuo’s smile was gentle. She looked at him again and said, "Be sure to think of a good name for the baby, we won’t be able to process her birth certificate later."
Mu Dixin had a headache.
He had flipped through the dictionary several times, dismissing countless names, to the point where he barely recognized the characters anymore.
"She was born too early, maybe we should just call her Manman (Slow)."
"You’re so casual."
Feng Qikuo was speechless, "Mu Manman, does that sound good to you?"
