However, Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong did not have any concerns about this. Everything they chose would be based on ensuring the well-being of the child. It would be outrageous if the child were to be uncomfortable due to the clothes they gifted him.
They even picked up some toys. These were not intended for the child to play with, as babies would probably spend the majority of their time sleeping at this age. It was just to serve as something uncustomary for the baby to look at after waking up.
When they arrive at Lin Chu’s room, they found her lying on her bed reading a book. She did not look any different from before she got pregnant, as she still appeared slender and delicate. Her skin was rosy and smooth from the healthy confinement meals she had been eating, and her complexion was great.
The baby was still sleeping nearby, so the two spoke at a lower volume.
Only Lin Chu and Aunt Yue were in the room at the time as Lin Chu said, “Beicheng’s the one that takes care of the child at night. However, the baby keeps waking up, and he gets quite loud. As such, Beicheng was terribly tormented by him, so I told him to get some sleep in another room.”
Xu Moyan noticed that the door to one of the rooms was shut tight. Yan Beicheng must be catching up on some sleep in there.
“Aunt Yue and I would take care of the baby during the day since it’s not very convenient for Aunt Yue to stay here at night.” Lin Chu explained.
Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong placed the gifts they brought on the table by the side, which Lin Chu immediately noticed. She then proceeded to somewhat scold them, “It’s enough that you are stopping by. Even if you wanted to buy something for the kid, something simple and appropriate would have been just fine. Why did you get something so expensive?”
“What if the item is not of good quality and causes discomfort to the child? In that case, i’d be better not to buy anything at all. Besides, we’re not buying something that is expected to last a lifetime; paying this amount doesn’t really strain our wallets that much.” Xu Moyan smiled as she and Zheng Yuntong moved one of chairs closer so that they could sit down by the bedside.
Zheng Yuntong was very curious about child birthing experience, so Lin Chu proceeded to tell her the whole process. This shocked Zheng Yuntong to the core. “The idea that I have to go through this as well gives me goosebumps.”
“You’ll only feel scared after hearing about it. In reality, when you’re giving birth, you won’t be overthinking. I didn’t care that much at the time. I only had one thought in mind, and that was to give birth to my child quickly. When I was experiencing the pain. I really thought that I’d probably never do this again. Also, I heard from Yu Zi that, while I was in the delivery room, Yan Beicheng’s face had gone pale as he waited outside. He said the same thing about never having another one, and even said that it’s fine if he doesn’t get a daughter. However, after I gave birth, it was truly as though I forgotten all the pain I had experienced. Looking at this tiny being just makes me want to give birth to another so that he’ll have a companion. You’ll only understand this feeling when the moment comes. I’m just afraid that Shen Zongyi might try to stop you. Don’t worry, you’ll probably ignore him even if he doesn’t let you have another.” Lin Chu turned her head and looked at the child lying beside her.
The tiny babe was restless. His small hands kept reaching out, so Lin Chu placed his hands back into the blanket and wrapped it tightly around his body.
Zheng Yuntong puffed out her cheeks and mumbled, “Nothing indicates that I’ve been successful, yet here you are talking about bearing a child with him. You and Moyan are one and the same.”
Xu Moyan had told Lin Chu about Zheng Yuntong and Shen Zongyi, so Lin Chu was very aware about their latest developments.
“Why do I have the feeling that you’ll marry Shen Zongyi?” Lin Chu smiled and shook her head. “Truly.”
“Again! You’re still talking about it!” Zheng Yuntong extended her hand and tried to cover Lin Chu’s mouth.
“Alright, alright. I’ll stop it, I’ll stop.” Lin Chu said hurriedly. Xu Moyan quickly reached over and blocked Zheng Yuntong from the side, afraid that the baby would wake up from all the ruckus.
“What did you name him?” Xu Moyan lowered her head as she looked at the sleeping baby. Her gaze was warm and full of affection.
Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng were both good looking, so it was only natural that the baby was born without a single wrinkle such that his skin looked fair and delicate.
On the first day, his skin was somewhat yellowed, but it did not take long for it to return to normal. Now it looked soft and tender, and one could see the double eyelid imprint on his eyelids even when he closed his eyes to sleep.
His eyelashes were shockingly long, they looked dark and thick as well, while even the bridge of his nose was slightly more prominent than the average child.
Their genes were way too powerful.
“Yan Shiyu.” Lin Chu spelled the name out. Her expression looked warm. “The old master flipped through the genealogical record and confirmed the middle letter. Meanwhile, the word ‘Yu’ was suggested by Beicheng.”
At the time, Yan Beicheng said something about being grateful for meeting each other at the right time. 1
Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong understood the meaning instantly, possibly because the connotations of the name were too obvious and easy to guess. They looked at each other whilst smiling and pondered about the subtleties as they looked at Lin Chu.
Lin Chu became embarrassed under their stares. She tidied up the hair beside her ears and said in a thick-skinned manner. “Yeah, it’s the fruit of our love.”
Xu Moyan, “…”
Zheng Yuntong, “…”
Lin Chu and Yan Beicheng’s personalities were becoming more and more alike.
In any case, Lin Chu was getting agitated from staying idle in the confinement center. Thus, when Xu Moyan and Zheng Yuntong arrived, she seized the opportunity to keep them there and was unwilling to let them leave.
Since the three of them had not met up for a long time, there was no end to their chatter.
After a while, Xu Moyan checked the time and felt that they still had some time to spare.
Lin Chu noticed that she and Zheng Yuntong both looked at the time on their phone. They had each looked at it half an hour apart from each other, so she proceeded to ask, “Do you guys have something to do later?”
Xu Moyan was about to answer her when the doorbell rang.
“Is someone else coming?” Xu Moyan asked curiously.
Yesterday when she was on the phone with Lin Chu, she had explicitly asked if anyone else would come and visit her today. Xu Moyan was worried that there would be too many people in the room, especially since not everyone was familiar with one another. They would not be able to talk about certain topics, and the whole scenario would get messy. Lin Chu would be too busy, and they might be forced to leave before being able to say their fill. This would be inconvenient for everyone.
Lin Chu shook her head. “No. Today’s just supposed to be only you two. Yu Zi and Yan Huaian are both on a business trip while Ningbai’s currently stuck at the Family Mansion, he needs to go to the swimming class today. After he’s done, he’ll come over with the two elders.”
Xu Moyan got up and went to the door. When she opened it, she froze on the spot.
Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi were standing at the doorway.
Wei Zilin wore a black woolen coat which, along with his black hair, was covered with a thin layer of snow. She could feel the cold air that the two people had drafted in from the outside as she stood by the door.
Wei Zilin did not seem surprised that Xu Moyan was there. At least not as astonished as she was when she saw him. His bright and dark eyes looked luminous and dazzling from the sun that was reflecting in from the window across them. He said with a slight smile, “Miss Xu.”
Fortunately, Xu Moyan was holding on to the doorknob. Otherwise, her knees would have failed her just from these three simple words.
This person was really something else. Did he not know how to talk properly? His voice was already low and mellow and had a magnetic tone to it. The simplest sound from his mouth was enough to kill her, but he even added a coy smile as he said those words. Even those that had never met him before would assume that he was a graceful son of nobility.
Xu Moyan thought to herself that perhaps it was because of this voice, that when she was fangirling over Yu Linling, even though she did not know how he looked, she had never suspected him of being anything less than attractive.
Xu Moyan knew that it was embarrassing, but she could not stop her face from blushing and quickly called out, “Mr. Wei, Assistant Shen.”
She quickly made way for the two to come in.
Then, she closed the door and followed them from behind.
Lin Chu and Zheng Yuntong saw the whole thing, but Lin Chu felt that it would be too awkward to ask her about this in front of Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi. Thus, she looked at Zheng Yuntong and tried to inquire silently.
Zheng Yuntong smiled with her eyes, hinting to her that she would tell her about it later in private.
Lin Chu hurriedly asked Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi to sit. Wei Zilin did not wait for her to begin questioning him and immediately began explaining, “It’s rare for us to have free time, so we came over to visit you. Assistant Shen wanted to come along too since you’re colleagues and are already familiar with each other.”
Lin Chu thought that these excuses were not particularly mindful and quite half-hearted.
Her eyes could not help but wander over to Zheng Yuntong and Xu Moyan before giving each of them a look. The corner of her mouth started to smile, and she nodded her head as if she were giving her consent.
“Eat some fruits.” Lin Chu paused and tried to test her theory by looking at Wei Zilin. “Moyan sliced it just a moment ago.”
Wei Zilin’s movements were smooth and natural. He picked up a fork and took a slice of pear without a moment’s hesitation.
It could be due to the two people suddenly coming in that Yan Beicheng who was sleeping inside the room suddenly woke up. He then proceeded to walk out with drowsy eyes. He was wearing a loose sweater and casual pants while his hair was in a mess. He had a relaxed appearance and seemed as if he were at home. This made him seem more amiable and approachable.
“Why are you here?” Yan Beicheng raised his eyebrow.
He did not try to be polite toward Wei Zilin and Shen Zongyi like he usually was toward Lin Chu.
“For a visit.” Wei Zilin answered him. It was even less mindful than before.
Yan Beicheng quietly looked around at all the people that were present in the room and let out a sneer. Then, he walked toward the bed and looked down to see his son.
He was standing near to the seat that Xu Moyan was sitting on, so Xu Moyan quickly got up with the intention of letting him take her place.
However, there were so many people in the room that the space had gotten smaller than before. As Xu Moyan searched around she spotted a narrow seat beside Wei Zilin, but it did not seem very suitable.
Nevertheless, Yan Beicheng had already sat down unworriedly on Xu Moyan’s original seat. Thus, it was too late for her to return to it even if she wanted to.
Wei Zilin looked at her and shifted to the side. Then, he said politely, “Miss Xu, you can come and sit over here.”
It would not have been good for Xu Moyan to reject his offer; Not that she was able to refuse such a temptation anyway. After all, it was exhilarating to sit so near to her idol!
She sat down stiffly, and quickly started blushing from the top of her head all the way down to her neck. She sat in an abnormal posture to avoid touching Wei Zilin, and her spine was unusually straight.
