Chapter 510: Chapter 510

Young Master Qu has had a big, chubby baby boy—he’s certainly riding high on happiness.

What kind of nonsense is ’basking in happiness’?

Even Qu Jiashu has let people hold his child, but noticing that Shen Dang hadn’t reached to hold the baby, he urged, "Come on, hold him. See, I’m being generous letting you hold my son."

Lin Muxian stood beside Qu Jiashu with a tender smile upon hearing this.

The hotel was heated, and Lin Muxian was dressed in an auspicious red dress, while Qu Jiashu wore a red tie.

Their faces were both beaming with joy.

Perhaps they hadn’t come together because of love initially, but after such a long time and now with a child, their affection for each other had indeed deepened.

Whether there was romantic love, it was uncertain, but there was love.

In this long journey of life, to grow old with a suitable partner was more happiness than many could find. The source of this content ɪs NovᴇlFirᴇ.ɴet

Shen Dang’s eyes slightly lowered, he hesitated to move: "Your son looks so small, could I possibly harm him by holding him?"

To think he was such a Boss Shen.

Is the child made of tofu?

Could he really be harmed by being held?

Qiao Xi wanted to laugh but held it in.

Qu Jiashu was also momentarily speechless: "He’s only a month old, of course he’s small. That’s why I’m letting you hold him for a bit longer, to get some practice in case you don’t know what to do when your own child is born."

Shen Dang stared at the swaddled baby in his arms, dressed in pale pink clothing, now wide awake, looking around with curious, shiny black eyes, as if marveling at the world.

The child’s eyes were clear-cut between black and white, the pupils looking very dark.

Shen Dang took the child from him.

This was his first time holding someone so small, and he was afraid of hurting the baby with a careless move, so he didn’t dare to apply any pressure.

His actions were not only cautious but also his posture was stiff and uneasy.

Shen Dang’s appearance made Qiao Xi purse her lips to hold back a laugh.

"The way you’re holding him, you’re both uncomfortable."

Qu Jiashu said, then personally showed Shen Dang the proper way to hold a baby. His skilled posture made it clear he had held a baby many times before.

After having a child, men really do change.

The baby, not yet able to recognize people, laid quietly in Shen Dang’s arms, occasionally making a little sound.

His soft baby voice melted everyone’s hearts.

"Xixi, do you want to hold him?" Shen Dang turned and asked her.

Qiao Xi readily agreed, "Sure."

Such a small infant, still with a sweet milky scent, Qiao Xi felt her heart melt just looking at him.

"The child is really cute," Qiao Xi said admiringly.

Qu Jiashu smiled: "He looks more like his mother."

Qiao Xi looked up: "They say a boy who looks like his mother is better-looking."

Shen Dang had never heard of this: "Is that so?"

Qu Jiashu nodded: "That’s the saying, yes."

Shen Dang half-smiled: "I think it all comes down to genetics."

The full-moon celebration for the baby was about to begin, and everyone returned to the banquet hall on the first floor.

The Qu Family holds a high status in Hai City, and the celebration for the child’s first month was quite grand. It seemed natural that babies possess the magical power to attract affection, with guests from all around coming to see the baby, and those closer wanting to hold him too.

Qiao Xi and Shen Dang naturally sat at the friends’ table.

The table was lively and full of familiar friends, all with smiles on their faces.

Having eaten, Qiao Xi found a quiet place to chat with friends.

Shen Dang joined a few buddies for a drink on the balcony.

At this time, Mrs. Qu was taking care of the baby. Qu Jiashu was playing with a cigarette, unlit: "Ah Dang, seeing that I have a son now, do you have any thoughts?"

Shen Dang glanced at him indifferently: "What thoughts could I possibly have?"

"Like when you and Xixi are going to have a baby, so our kids can grow up together."

Before Shen Dang could respond, Sheng Chao let out a snicker, bluntly stating: "Having kids isn’t something he decides alone, it’s up to Xixi. What’s the use in asking him? Better to go directly to Xixi."

Knowing it is enough, why say it out loud.

Shen Dang leaned back lazily, with a dismissive air: "Right now, I think the two-person world feels more comfortable."

He envied them for having children, but wouldn’t say it.

Married to Qiao Xi, Shen Dang, of course, also wanted a child with the person he loved, but that still depended on Qiao Xi’s consideration.

He was fine with anything.

Tang Honghe couldn’t agree more: "Exactly, a child is the icing on the cake. Jiashu, you and Brother Chao are older now, I and Brother Dang are still young; we’re not in a rush to have kids like you guys."

He finished with a laugh.

Qu Jiashu gave him a playful kick: "You should be calling me ’Brother.’"

Tang Honghe dodged his foot in a second, Qu Jiashu missing him, and Tang Honghe raised his eyebrows triumphantly: "Missed me, can’t get me."

Tang Honghe stuck out his tongue.

A little immature, perhaps.

The saying goes that men become more mature in a relationship, but it seemed Tang Honghe was only becoming more childish.

Probably caught from Qu Keke.

These two were beyond help.

Sheng Chao took a sip of his drink, drawling: "A two-person world is just an excuse for not being able to have kids yet, I get it."

He appeared all-knowing.

Shen Dang laughed: "You know nothing!"

Sheng Chao set down his glass: "I’m done drinking, not going to chat with you guys either. I’m going to see how my wife is doing."

With so many people tonight, Sheng Chao was worried about Su Tutu being alone.

It’d be bad if she accidentally bumped into something.

Shen Dang stood up too, scoffing: "I’m also going to find my wife."

What was the point of brooding over drinks with these older fellows when he could be with his wife?

After they both left, Qu Jiashu also felt it was pointless to stay, he patted Tang Honghe on the shoulder, got up gracefully: "I’m off to find my wife and child too. Xiao Tang, enjoy drinking by yourself."

Tang Honghe laughed at their behaviors, yelling after their retreating backs: "What’s the meaning of this?!"

Are they teasing him for not having a wife?

These people are too much!

But feeling a tad envious they all had wives—what was that about?

He might not have a wife, but he had a girlfriend.

He was going to find his girlfriend too!

Streetlights lined the road like glowing gems atop a wand.

Brilliantly streaking ahead, seemingly endless.

A black Mercedes drove past on the road, stirring up dust that was quickly swept under another passing car.

Inside the car, Qiao Xi flipped through her phone looking at photos of Qu Ziwang.

Qu Ziwang was the grand name of Qu Jiashu’s son.

Though only a month old, the child’s facial features were finely chiseled, sure to be a handsome young man in the future.

"Is he that good-looking?"

Shen Dang saw her phone screen, glanced only for a moment, then returned his focus to the road ahead.

Without lifting her head, Qiao Xi replied, "Yes, for some reason, I just love other people’s children."

Hearing this, Shen Dang couldn’t help but give her a look: "Why?"
