Chapter 978: Heartache?
“I’ve already given the little treasure a name.” Old Master Shen looked at the little cutie in his arms and said cheerfully, “Let’s call her Sheng Qingwan. She’s generous and ladylike. She’ll definitely be the apple of her parents’ eye. Don’t be like your mother, always carrying a scalpel.”
The older generation always cared about the meaning of their names.
Old Master Sheng was satisfied with this name.
“At least she has some standards. Since she has such a good name, I’ll give her a nickname. We’ll call her An An. It’s simpler. I hope she can live a peaceful life.”
Just like that, the little girl’s name and nickname were decided by the two old men.
Mu Qiqi did not seem to have given birth to just her and Sheng Xiao’s daughter. She appeared to have given birth to a daughter for everyone.
This was because after her daughter was born, she really did not get to hug her except for when it was time to feed her.
There were people who rushed to do everything from checking the child’s body to changing diapers to putting on clothes.
It was no wonder Master Xiao had told her not to be so careful in the beginning.
However, Sheng Xiao was happy to see this.
In short, the ward was bustling with activity for three consecutive days after the child was born.
Feng Shanshan went over to see Mu Qiqi three days later.
“How do you feel?” Feng Shanshan saw that she was sitting on the bed and could not help but ask, “Don’t you feel like you want to sleep even when you’re standing?”
“Of course.”
“You should be content with your life. Other than breastfeeding, everything else is very easy with your family around.” Feng Shanshan pushed her head enviously. “We lead such different lives.”
“But you don’t feel that you’re working hard at all, do you?”
Because she had given birth to the child of the man she loved. That kind of happiness filled the hearts of the two women at any moment.
“Haven’t you gotten what you wanted now?”
It was not easy to see her daughter sleeping soundly in her arms. Mu Qiqi was indeed very satisfied because it was too magical. The blood of her and Xiao Xiao flowed in this child’s body. No wonder it was said that children were the bond between parents.
“Tsk tsk, look at you smiling like that.” Feng Shanshan really could not stand it anymore. In addition, Sheng Xiao had also entered the ward, so Feng Shanshan found an excuse to leave, giving them space to be just the three of them.
“Have Mommy and Fifth Aunt gone back?”
“Yes, it’s finally quiet.” Sheng Xiao took off his coat and hung it on the clothes rack. Then, he walked in front of the mother and daughter.
At that moment, Mu Qiqi coughed a few times. Sheng Xiao immediately put the blanket that he had prepared on Mu Qiqi. “You’re going to catch a cold. Who’s the one who’s feeling unwell?”
“Xiao Xiao, do you think your daughter is more like you or me?”
“A daughter is more like a father. This is in accordance with the laws of nature,” answered Sheng Xiao as he wrapped his arms around the two. “But I hope she’s more like you…”
“This is our daughter.” Mu Qiqi smiled like a child because at this moment, it was the scene she had been looking forward to for a long time. She was holding the child while Sheng Xiao was holding her.
It was said that after a woman gave birth, she would become gentle. Indeed, this was the case.
“Sleep with me for a while. When the little thing wakes up, she’ll ask you for milk,” Sheng Xiao said in a low voice above her head. “Although, I really want to try and see what it tastes like…”
“That’s not proper.” Although Mu Qiqi scolded him, she still felt very sleepy in this safe embrace.
Seeing this, Sheng Xiao tightened his arms.
When he looked at the woman in his arms, he could see that as she had to feed the baby, she hardly rested.
He wished that he could call Mama Sheng right away to say that from now on, he would only feed the little thing formula.
That night, the family of three was in the hospital. Although they were exhausted, it was Mu Qiqi’s dream life. In fact, she knew that Xiao Xiao had even less time to rest than she did.
When she was feeding, Sheng Xiao had to help. When she fell asleep, Sheng Xiao had to take care of the mother and child.
Thinking of this, she could not help hugging Sheng Xiao’s waist. “You’ve lost weight in the past few days.”
“Does it hurt?” Sheng Xiao asked as he wrapped his arms around her.
“Yes.”
“It hurts me too, so when you’re discharged from the hospital, I’ll get a vasectomy.”
He was determined not to have another child.
One child was enough…
..
It was still snowing in Jianchuan that night, and there was something out of the ordinary with the Shen family tonight.
Because no one had expected that the Shen family’s second son would be taken away by disciplinary officers in the evening. At that time, the old man was having dinner at the Sheng family’s home. When Huang Yu saw this, she panicked.
Could it be that her husband had really made a mistake? This couldn’t be. He had always been honest.
Thinking of this, Huang Yu immediately went to look for Shen Jianchuan. “Big Brother…”
“I already know. Don’t tell Father about this for the time being. I’ll first use my connections to find out what it is about.” Shen Jianchuan comforted Huang Yu. “It’s useless for you to be anxious.”
“Alright, I’ll calm down first. But he has always been well-behaved. I don’t believe that he’s that kind of person.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll get to the bottom of this.” Hence, after night fell, Shen Jianchuan wore a black hood and left the Shen family.
He naturally trusted his younger brother.
The other party must have known that Xiao Qi had just given birth and that Eighth Brother had his hands full to have chosen such an opportunity to deal with the Shen family. He did not know how his second brother fell into their trap. He must get to the bottom of it first.
The old man was a guest of the Sheng family and he had not received any news yet, but it was only a matter of time.
He still hoped that it would not be too much of a shock to him.
At that thought, Shen Jianchuan gave Sheng Xiao a call. “Pay more attention to the safety of the mother and daughter. Your second uncle was taken away for interrogation in the evening. I wonder what the Song family did to him.”
“He was taken away?”
“It’s been an hour. If something happens to him, perhaps people from Zhongteng will come to investigate as well. You have to be prepared.”
“Don’t worry about that. Zhongteng can withstand any investigation.” After all, there was no financial connection between Zhongteng and the Shen family.
Even if the public made it sound like Zhongteng had close ties with the Shen family, Sheng Xiao and the Shen family knew whether it was the truth or not.
However, did Song Jiang choose to settle the score at such a time because he knew that he had just gotten a daughter, so he had come out to fight?
That would be underestimating him too much.
After that, Sheng Xiao gave Secretary He a call to find out the whole story.
“Sheng Xiao, it’s best that you don’t get involved in this matter. There’s someone behind the scenes who wants to get their hands on the Shen family, so they’ve found a wild way. However, you don’t have to worry too much. After all, we all know that the Shen family can withstand the test, so let’s just wait and see.”
“I understand. If there’s anything I can do to help, I hope Secretary He will let me know. I can’t thank you enough.”
“What are you talking about? What kind of friendship do we have? Anyway, I heard that your wife is giving birth. The other party is probably taking the opportunity to cause trouble. No matter what, I’ll congratulate you on becoming a father first.”
“Thank you, Secretary He.”
Sheng Xiao put down his phone and looked at the mother and daughter who were still asleep. He turned around and looked out the window.
This was the last battle for the Song family, right? Because the Song family’s funds could only support Song Jiang to this point.
