Chapter 977: I Want to See You Hold Our Daughter
Mu Qiqi had exhausted all her strength giving birth and she lay on the bed. The moment the child was born, she felt as if her soul was about to leave her body.
She was a mother now.
Meanwhile, the man beside her held her hand tightly. When the child was born, he did not go to see the child immediately. He only whispered into Mu Qiqi’s ear, “In the future, don’t even think about having another child. I won’t allow it. We only need one daughter.”
“Also, congratulations, little thing. You’re a mother now.”
Mu Qiqi tilted her head and looked at Sheng Xiao. She was extremely exhausted, but she could clearly see that the man’s eyes were red.
It was sincere love for her.
“Congratulations to you too, Mr. Sheng. You’re a father now.”
“New daddy, do you want to hold the baby?” After the doctor had taken care of the baby, he asked the nurse to wrap her up.
“There’s no need. Please carry her out. I just want to be with my big baby now.”
Sheng Xiao lowered his head and kissed Mu Qiqi on the head.
“There’s sweat… There’s a smell.”
“I don’t mind it. I’ll never mind it.”
Therefore, neither of them had seen their daughter for the first time.
The nurse carried the baby out of the delivery room. Mama Sheng was the first to lean on her. “Aiyo, my little darling, I’m Grandma.”
The nurse was amused by Mama Sheng and said, “The baby is very healthy and crying very loudly. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen such a beautiful baby. Although it was born prematurely, it doesn’t lose out to a full-term baby at all.”
“Thank you, Nurse. How’s the baby’s mother?”
“Don’t worry. She’s very brave and in good condition. She’s just extremely tired,” the nurse said with a smile and turned around to return to the delivery room. Not long after, Mu Qiqi was also wheeled out from the delivery room.
Mama Sheng quickly went up and looked at Mu Qiqi with a Heartache. “Xiao Qi, rest well. It’s been hard on you.”
Mu Qiqi gave a tired smile before she closed her eyes and went off to dreamland.
Sheng Xiao followed her the entire time without closing his eyes. It was as if the little thing always occupied the most s.p.a.ce in his heart. No one would be able to put anything else in.
“Old Eight, Xiao Qi is asleep. Come and see your daughter as well.”
Sheng Xiao sat by the bedside and ignored Mama Sheng because he could not forget the entire process of the little one giving birth.
“Mother, let me accompany her quietly for a while.”
Mama Sheng could understand her son’s feelings for Xiao Qi, so she said, “Okay, I’ll take the baby out first. However, the baby will need to be fed later.”
..
The sky quickly brightened. For the Sheng family, this night was worth remembering.
The old men of the Sheng and Shen families were soon informed about the birth. This made the two old men extremely happy. Even though Old Master Sheng was still sick, it did not matter to him now. He asked Sheng Kai to drive him directly to the hospital.
Mu Qiqi woke up after two hours of sleep. She had recovered a lot, but the pain after the delivery came as promised.
She only saw her and Xiao Xiao’s daughter two hours later.
As she had to feed her, she carefully held her in her arms.
Mama Sheng leaned her arm against her. “The child has tortured you for so long. Eighth Brother is so angry that he still refuses to hold his daughter.”
“Mommy, perhaps Xiao Xiao is still not used to the change in status.”
“He’s my son. I know him better than anyone. In his heart, even if his daughter who is related to him by blood is born, he still loves you the most.” Mama Sheng smiled and said, “Oh right, who will name the baby?”
“Xiao Xiao previously said to let my grandfather name it.” Mu Qiqi lowered her head and looked at the little one who was drinking milk. She revealed a very different smile. “It looks like you can’t be called Sheng Batian anymore.”
A moment later, Sheng Xiao came back from the bathroom and saw that the little one was feeding their baby. He asked Fifth Aunt if the chicken soup for Mu Qiqi had been warmed up.
Mu Qiqi glanced at the baby and then looked at Sheng Xiao. “Xiao Xiao.”
“Hmm?”
“You carry your daughter. I want to see you hold our daughter.”
Sheng Xiao glanced at her and sighed. Then, he walked to her and took the little girl in her swaddling clothes.
Mu Qiqi’s eyes reddened when she saw this scene.
“I finally got what I wanted.”
“Are you hungry?”
Sheng Xiao held his daughter in his arms, but he was still worried about her.
“I’m not hungry…” Mu Qiqi felt both warm and helpless. Was this man for real?
Soon, two old men rushed over and the ward became lively.
“Where is my great-granddaughter? Let me take a look.”
“Let me go first, let me go first!” The two old men started to argue and at that moment. Mu Qiqi coughed lightly.
The group of people were naturally chased out of the ward.
At the door of the ward, Shen Jianchuan stuck his head out. While everyone was rus.h.i.+ng to look after the child, as a father, the first thing he thought of was his own daughter.
“Dad…”
“Are you alright?” Shen Jianchuan touched her palm and only felt relieved when he realized that it was warm.
“Don’t worry, I’m fine. Can’t you see what your son-in-law looks like?” Mu Qiqi pointed at the man beside her with her chin.
“If he didn’t dote on you so much, I wouldn’t have agreed to let you give birth at such a young age.” Shen Jianchuan said with a light snort. “If your mother was still around, she would be relieved to see this scene, wouldn’t she?”
“Daddy, you’re already a grandfather. I can’t stand you like this.”
Shen Jianchuan patted the back of Mu Qiqi’s hand and comforted her in his heart. “Recover well. You can’t be careless during confinement.”
“Don’t worry. If I’m not feeling well, your son-in-law will definitely be the first to notice.” Mu Qiqi looked at Sheng Xiao’s sour face and burst out laughing.
“Then you rest well. Daddy will go out.”
“Go and see your granddaughter.”
Shen Jianchuan nodded and closed the door behind him as he left.
Mu Qiqi quickly grabbed Sheng Xiao’s hand and said, “Where else would we find a father like you who’s still angry with his own daughter?”
Sheng Xiao sat by Mu Qiqi’s bed and held her hand. “Just take it that I’m sick. Your daughter is a piece of flesh that fell off your body, but you’re my flesh. When you’re hurt, I feel it too.”
“I can’t do anything about you. I just don’t know what Grandfather will name our daughter.”
..
Outside the door, it was bustling with noise and excitement.
If not for the fact that this was a top-notch maternity hospital and a VIP suite, who would allow a group of people to s.n.a.t.c.h and pa.s.s around a child in their arms?
It was not easy for Old Master Sheng to hold the child for a few minutes. Before he could get used to it, Old Master Shen took over.
The little baby wasn’t shy at all. She opened her small eyes wide and looked at this group of strange old men.
“Old Man Shen, Qiqi said that you still have to name her, so please give her a name.”
Mama Sheng suddenly said to Old Master Shen.
But Old Man Sheng didn’t seem too happy about it. “I want to name her too.”
“How about this? Old Man Shen will name her, and Father will give her her family nickname.”
The two old men looked at each other and seemed satisfied with that suggestion.
