Mu Chen shook his head. “No, it’s not that. He’s too tiny. How are we going to raise him?”
Jiang Jin reached out and gently swatted Mu Chen’s arm. “Why are you so silly? You were this size as well when you were born. If you don’t believe me, you can ask your father. What do you mean by how are we going to raise him? We raise him just like everybody else.”
Mu Chen, who was muddle-headed today, did not react to Jiang Jin mentioning his father.
Mu Qing said in a timely manner, “Children will grow up naturally. There’s no need to worry needlessly.”
Mu Chen held Song Ning’s hand and asked, “Ningning, are you tired? Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
Mu Chen focused all his attention on Song Ning for now. He needed time to process the matter regarding his child.
Song Ning’s gaze fell on the baby. He had stopped crying after Sister Yu changed his diaper. Then, remembering how the baby had frightened Mu Chen earlier, she explained to him, “He was crying because he peed.”
Mu Chen nodded perfunctorily. “What do you want to eat? I’ll get someone to make it for you!”
In Mu Chen’s opinion, only his wife was the most reliable. He still could not accept that his daughter had turned into a son.
After Mu Chen finished speaking, Jiang Jin said to everyone, “Let’s go outside and let Ningning rest. Mu Chen, you accompany Ningning. Ningning, try to get some sleep and rest. You must be exhausted after giving birth so you have to take good care of yourself.”
Before anyone could leave, Mu Chen hastily said, “Jiahui, quickly check Ningning’s pulse to see if she’s okay before you leave.”
Jiahui smiled and said, “Don’t worry. We’ve already done a full check on her. Everything is normal. She just needs to rest.”
With this Mu Chen sighed in relief.
At the same time, Song Ning looked at her son, reluctant to part with him for even a second.
Song Ning’s reaction did not escape Jiang Jin’s notice. She said, “Rest well. You have plenty of time to look at him in the future. Even if you don’t want to look at him, you have no choice but to look at him at that time…”
After Jiang Jin finished speaking, she smiled tenderly and patted Song Ning’s hand.
When everyone left and it was finally quiet, Mu Chen let out a long sigh of relief.
Song Ning smiled and asked him, “Honestly, are you disappointed?”
Mu Chen nodded with a hint of resentment on his face. “A little.”
Song Ning said angrily, “Don’t say it in front of our son. He’ll be sad.”
Mu Chen quickly nodded. “Alright, alright, I won’t upset him.”
Song Ning smiled with satisfaction as she looked at Mu Chen and said, “Mu Chen, I feel very surreal right now…”
“Why? What’s wrong?” Mu Chen hurriedly asked.
“We’re now a family of three. It still doesn’t feel real to me. I’m so happy that it doesn’t seem real. At the same time, I’m a little afraid that I’m so happy…”
Mu Chen held Song Ning’s hand and softly said, “Silly, what’s there to be afraid of? I’m right by your side. Our son and Grandma are also with you. I want you to be happy for the rest of your life. Our son better listen to you in the future. If he doesn’t, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Song Ning smiled when she heard how gentle Mu Chen’s voice was. She said softly, “My mother, Grandpa, and Grandma must be watching over me. They led me to you and this happy life I have now. Mu Chen, do you think I’m too greedy? I really hope I can continue being so happy for the rest of my life. I want to be with you forever…”
Mu Chen could tell Song Ning was more emotional than usual. Jiahui had told him before that a woman might be more emotional after childbirth due to the changes in the hormone levels. In the worst scenario, some women even developed postpartum depression. Naturally, he did not want Song Ning to be depressed.
Mu Chen kissed the back of Song Ning’s hand gently before he said, “Trust me, Ningning. We’ll be together for the rest of our lives. We won’t ever be separated. I swear one my life that I’ll only love you for the rest of our lives until my dying breath…”
Song Ning nodded gently as tears silently rolled down her face after she listened to Mu Chen’s words..
