Chapter 527: Chapter 527

"Tutu had always hoped for a daughter, but to her surprise, she gave birth to a son."

This surprise was probably a big one for her.

Qiao Xi, holding her face, cheerily said, "You saw it just now, didn’t you? Tutu and Brother Chao’s baby isn’t all wrinkly like people say newborns usually are."

Smooth and unwrinkled, his skin is white, and you could see right after birth that he has good features.

He also has a head full of black hair.

Qiao Xi thought their son would definitely be handsome when he grew up.

"He’s definitely going to charm many girls when he grows up, and if we had a daughter, they could even have an arranged childhood marriage."

Of course, Qiao Xi was just joking.

Everyone has their own life.

She wouldn’t interfere with her child’s life.

Who is destined to be with whom is determined at birth.

Fate is sometimes inexplicably wonderful.

Shen Dang clicked his tongue lightly, "Looking good now doesn’t mean he’ll look good later. The child is still young; we’ll see when he grows up."

"Brother Chao and Tutu are good-looking; their child won’t turn out too bad."

Shen Dang said indifferently, "There’s a term called genetic mutation."

That was simply absurd.

Shen Dang glanced at her casually, saying meaningfully, "Besides, our daughter deserves better."

It wasn’t that Sheng Chao’s son wasn’t good.

Shen Dang hoped his child would broaden their horizons and then choose someone who loves her the most.

Good or bad isn’t easy to define.

Everyone has their shining points.

What does it matter how good this person is?

Human feelings can change.

Only love remains unchanged through the ages.

Who was the one who spoke too soon?

He was already dreaming about having a daughter.

But she always felt that Boss Shen’s words were somewhat sour.

Qiao Xi couldn’t help but laugh and say, "Honestly."

Shen Dang glanced at her, seeing the sly mischief of a young girl in her delicate features.

Shen Dang raised his eyebrow, "Say what?"

"Are you jealous that Brother Chao had a son first?"

"Not jealous," Shen Dang huffed lightly, his tone neutral: "I have you, and that’s enough."

For him, children were always just icing on the cake.

It was fate if it happened, and natural if it didn’t.

Qiao Xi smiled softly, "I like children."

Shen Dang’s voice, low and enticing, brushed past her ear, "Then should I try a bit harder later?"

He said to try harder, but both were exhausted staying up till midnight in the hospital, and they went straight to sleep when they got back.

Early in the morning, Qiao Xi woke up.

Shen Dang asked her, "Going to the hospital today?"

Qiao Xi nodded, "Going."

After breakfast, Shen Dang dropped Qiao Xi at the hospital and then went straight to the office.

Qiao Xi arrived at the ward with breakfast.

Sheng Chao was frantically making formula, with the baby crying heart-wrenchingly next to Su Tutu.

What’s the situation?

Su Tutu seemed to see a savior in her.

Su Tutu, frowning, said, "Take him from me; his howling is making my ears buzz and my head hurt."

Qiao Xi took the baby and tried to soothe him.

However, she couldn’t calm him down.

The baby still cried terribly.

"Isn’t the formula ready?"

"It’s ready, it’s ready."

Sheng Chao came over with a bottle, took his son, and started feeding him.

As soon as the baby touched the nipple, he began sucking vigorously, making audible gulping sounds.

Qiao Xi sat on a chair by the bed, looking at Su Tutu, "Are you feeling unwell anywhere?"

Su Tutu had a natural delivery, which was much better than a cesarean.

"A bit painful, but bearable. The doctor said I’ll be up and about soon."

Qiao Xi paused, then asked, "Have you named the baby?"

Sheng Chao had chosen two names, one for a boy and one for a girl.

Now, the girl’s name was unnecessary.

Su Tutu said, "Sheng Yishen, Yishen for ’deeply etched memories,’ and Shenshen for ’depth.’"

The name Yishen was derived from a poem — "Exchange my heart for yours, only then realizing the depth of our mutual memories."

It signified that the child was the crystal of their parent’s love, carrying beautiful memories and their hopes for the future.

Su Tutu thought it sounded very nice.

Qiao Xi agreed, "It sounds very nice."

After the baby had eaten, he fell asleep.

As soon as Sheng Chao placed the baby on the bed, he cried.

Qiao Xi said, "Let me hold him for a bit."

Sheng Chao passed the baby to Qiao Xi, then went to wash the bottle.

Qiao Xi smelled the milky scent on Xiao Yishen and suddenly felt a bit nauseous.

She started to retch.

Su Tutu’s eyes widened, "No way, sister, although my son is a bit ugly, he shouldn’t make you feel sick, right?"

Qiao Xi almost laughed.

Where was Xiao Yishen ugly?

He obviously looked good.

Who talks about their own son like that?

However, before Qiao Xi could say anything, she retched again.

Su Tutu almost burst into tears, "See, I told you, my son is so ugly it makes you sick."

Qiao Xi was momentarily speechless, "No, it has nothing to do with him, and he isn’t ugly. He’s very handsome."

After Sheng Chao finished washing the bottle, he took his son.

It was then that Qiao Xi felt the nauseating smell subside, but she still felt a bit uncomfortable in her chest.

Watching Qiao Xi pat her chest, Su Tutu suddenly sensed something was wrong.

"Oh my, Xixi, could you be..."

She stopped mid-sentence.

Initially, Qiao Xi didn’t pay it much heed, but now she couldn’t help but think along those lines prompted by Su Tutu.

With her hand over her mouth in shock, Su Tutu said, "You’re already in a hospital; just go get checked, it’s a pity I can’t accompany you."

Qiao Xi hadn’t even reacted yet.

Su Tutu asked urgently, "Xixi, did you get your period this month?"

Qiao Xi, now a bit nervous herself, thought for a moment before shaking her head.

She didn’t seem to have it last month either.

Since her periods were irregular, Qiao Xi hadn’t been concerned.

Seeing Qiao Xi’s expression, Su Tutu said excitedly, "Don’t hesitate, just go get checked."

Urged on by Su Tutu, Qiao Xi went downstairs to register, then waited in line at the gynecology department.

During the wait, she was a bit nervous.

Her hand unconsciously rested on her lower abdomen.

Did she really have hers and Shen Dang’s child inside her?

Qiao Xi was feeling ambivalent.

Qiao Xi took it out; it was a message from Shen Dang.

Husband: "Did you see the baby?"

Qiao Xi replied demurely, "Saw it, even held it." Nᴇw novel chapters are publɪshed on ɴovᴇl(F)ɪre.ɴet

Qiao Xi didn’t mention her reaction to Shen Dang.

She was afraid it might be false hope.

She didn’t want to disappoint Shen Dang.

"Husband: "You saw the baby and held it, so when are you coming to the office to keep me company?"

The doctor called Qiao Xi’s number then.

Qiao Xi stuffed her phone into her bag, took a deep breath, and walked into the examination room.

After the examination, the female doctor asked seriously, "Congratulations, you’re over four weeks pregnant. Do you want to keep the baby?"
