Lu Shaoming softened. He used his chopsticks to feed her a mouthful of noodles, and Ning Qing opened her mouth to eat.
"Does it taste good?" he asked gently.
Ning Qing lifted her gaze to look at him, and there was a layer of moisture in her eyes. She shook her head with grievance as she said, "It doesn't taste good."
The taste of red sugar with noodles was a little weird.
Lu Shaoming stretched out his hand to touch her small head, and in a pampering tone, he said, "Be good; control it for a while. After you finish the confinement period, I will bring you ice cream — Haagen Dazs."
"Okay!" Ning Qing's eyes were sparkling bright, and she used strength to nod her head.
Yun Wanqing heard her words, and shook her head in despair, he really treated Ning Qing as a small girl to coax her.
She put on her scared and prepared to leave, and she suddenly thought of something."Qingqing, you weren't supposed to deliver for another eight days. How come you went into premature labour like that?"
Lu Shaoming was feeding Ning Qing noodles at that moment, and upon hearing her words, both of them froze.
How did she end up in premature labour?
This question...
Ning Qing lifted her gaze to sneakily peek at the man, and the expression in his eyes was not flustered and calm, but Ning Qing also saw a hint of embarrassment and haste in his eyes. ƒ𝚛𝙚𝚎𝑤𝘦𝚋𝙣o𝚟el - 🅽🅽novel
Song Yajing looked at them, and they were looking at one another. She knew what had happened, and she inferred the situation at hand by saying, "Ning Qing's mother, the estimated delivery date is not accurate, both premature and late labour can happen. Little Young Master Lu is born already, don't worry too much about this."
"That makes sense." Yue Wanqing nodded her head and said, "Qingqing, Mum will go back home to boil soup for you. You have a good rest."
Yue Wanqing and Ning Zhenguo left.
Lu Dinghua felt that it was inappropriate for him to stay longer in the hospital ward as a grandfather. He glanced at Little Young Master Lu twice before he left, and Song Yajing stayed behind to take care of Ning Qing.
...
After eating her noodles, the confinement lady carried Little Young Master Lu over to the bed and said, "Madam, the first time that you feed Little Young Master Lu might hurt a little. New mothers all go through the same process. Madam, you should hold it in for a while."
Ning Qing gently looked at Little Young Master Lu and nodded her head.
The man was standing by her side, and with a crimson red face, Ning Qing stretched out her hand to push him. She said in a sweet voice, "You should go."
Lu Shaoming had a frown on his face, and his gaze unintentionally diverted to her chest, which had grown significantly larger.
Ning Qing was extremely embarrassed, and she turned sideways, making her back face him.
Song Yajing walked over to her and said, "Shaoming, Qingqing is embarrassed. Go to the side of the door and stand there. Furthermore, what is there to see here? Go quickly!"
Lu Shaoming had a glance at the girl's frail back profile. Even though he was extremely unwilling to do so, he still strode over at last and really stood at the side of the door.
Both of his hands were in his pockets, and his handsome back leaned casually against the door. He looked down the quiet corridor, but in his peripheral vision, he was still attracted by the sound of clothes rustling inside.
It was not that there was something interesting to look at; there was something that he really wanted to see.
He swallowed his saliva.
Ning Qing lifted her shirt up and fed Little Young Master Lu, but she winced in pain. She was in intense pain until both her legs were straight and rigid.
"Qingqing, bear it for a while. It will be fine after you get used to it, " Song Yajing comforted.
The confinement lady was massaging her, and after 5 minutes, she shook her head and said, "Madam, it's not working. Little Young Master Lu could not get any milk. Relax as much as you can."
Ning Qing tugged on Song Yajing's hand tightly and the tears in her eyes rolled down uncontrollably. She cried out and said, "Mum, it really hurts. I am really in pain..."
Song Yajing saw her crying and quickly stretched out her hand to wipe her tears, "Qingqing ah, my little master. You cannot cry during your confinement period, it is not good for your eyes. Please stop crying."
Lu Shaoming heard the girl cry and quickly channelled his gaze over. It was probably because of the immense pain. The little figure on the bed was shaking all over.
He felt his heart ache immensely, and he came forward to say, "Mum, forget it. If it doesn't come out, then we'll feed him formula. We don't have to stick with breastfeeding."
"Confinement nanny, carry Little Young Master Lu away. Feed him some formula then." Song Yajing agreed.
The confinement nanny carried Little Young Master Lu away, and Song Yajing also went to take care of him. Lu Shaoming walked to the side of the bed, and there were still traces of tears on the girl's face. She looked very pitiful.
He stretched out his hand to wipe her tears and kissed her forehead before saying in a gentle tone, "Wifey, forget it if it hurts. Most of the babies nowadays take milk powder."
Ning Qing pouted her pink lips and shook her head."I don't want to. It was just too painful. After I am used to this kind of pain, I will try it again."
Lu Shaoming looked at her brave eyes, and his heart softened immensely. He said, "Okay, Wifey is the bravest. She is the best. You can definitely do it."
Ning Qing pulled the blanket up, and she brought it above her shoulders. Underneath the blanket, she cupped her painful area with one hand. She felt that she could not open her eyes; she wanted to sleep.
"Wifey, go to sleep then." Lu Shaoming lovingly touched her small head.
"Okay." Ning Qing closed her eyes.
...
Ning Qing fell into a slumber, and Little Young Master Lu started to cry.
The confinement lady carried Little Young Master Lu while she coaxed him, but no matter what she did, he would not stop crying. Song Yajing took him in her arms and felt extremely bad for him. That little bundle was screaming his lungs out, and he was sobbing uncontrollably with his face all red.
The confinement lady took a milk bottle in her hand, and there was formula inside the bottle."Madam, this Little Young Master is way too smart. We fed him some of Madam's milk, so now he is unwilling to suckle on the bottle. I put the bottle in Little Young Master's mouth, and he spat it out. He must be hungry, so he is crying so fervently."
Song Yajing held Little Young Master Lu in her arms and was also at a loss."Then... what should we do then? We can't let Little Young Master Lu be hungry and continue crying."
"This..." The confinement lady was also at a loss.
She was the best and most famous confinement lady in the circle of elite wealthy families. She had served numerous wealthy families, and she had never met with such a situation before.
The women in wealthy families did not have much status, and they had to breastfeed after giving birth. No matter how much pain she was in, she still had to do so. The Lu family treated this Madam as their sweetheart, and they did not bare to make her endure that, Unfortunately, this Young Master was a picky fella, so this didn't quite work.
"Old Madam, should we let Madam try again?" the confinement lady suggested.
Song Yajing hesitated and said, "This..."
"Mum, Ning Qing is asleep. Don't wake her up. Hand Little Young Master Lu over to me, I will hold him." Lu Shaoming walked over.
"Shaoming, can you handle it? Neither of us are able to coax him."
With both hands, Lu Shaoming took Little Young Master Lu carefully into his arms, and he lowered his gaze to look at his son who was crying at the top of his lungs. He nodded his head before saying, "I can."
Little Young Master Lu cried until his entire body was covered with sweat and tears. Lu Shaoming tugged the mustard yellow swaddle to open it a little. He carried him into the corridor and softly said, "Shh, Little Young Master Lu, don't cry so loud. Mummy is sleeping! Don't wake her up.
"Little Young Master Lu, Mummy went through a great amount of pain to give birth to you. Now that you are born, you have to understand and pity Mummy. Formula tastes very good, drink a little bit of formula, and after Mummy wakes up, she will give you more to eat, okay?"
Lu Shaoming looked at his little son, and he held him up high. He stretched out his fingers to tease his small soft face, and he lowered his voice to a whisper as he said, "Little Young Master Lu, Mummy is still very young. She is only 21 years old this year, and she is still a small girl. Mummy is not used to breastfeeding you, and she feels pain when she does. When you suckle, you have be gentler, and you especially cannot bite her. Normally, whenever Daddy would use even a little strength, Mummy would cry.
"In the future, Little Young Master Lu is a little masculine man. You have to protect Mummy together with Daddy. Co-operate a little now. Can you drink some formula?"
Little Young Master Lu: "... Wah, wah..." He did not understand anything Lu Shaoming said.
At this moment, two nurses walked through the corridor, and when they channelled their gazes over, they saw that handsome man was using one arm to carry a small baby, and his back was strong and firm. He was incredibly masculine and attractive.
The trousers and wool sweater that the man was wearing were both creased, but this did not affect the elegant poise that came with him naturally. He lowered his gaze and was focused at looking at the baby. His sculpture-like side-profile was as handsome as a painting. He was softly and gently coaxing the baby with a tone that was extremely mesmerizing and charming to the ear.
The harsh fluorescent in the corridor shone down on the top of his head, and as he was now a father, it made him appear exceptionally warm. He had the exclusive attractiveness of a mature man.
The two nurses had a glance at him, and both their faces and ears were burning red.
"I heard that this is the richest man in the country, Young Master Lu. He is really so attractive."
"Oy, don't be crushing on him. Young Master Lu's wife is Goddess Ning Qing. They have such a good relationship between them. When Goddess Ning gave birth just now, she fell asleep, and Young Master Lu was extremely anxious. He was afraid that he had a son but lacked a wife."
"How could I have feelings for him? Do you dare to say that you haven't fallen for him? A man like Young Master Lu — what woman would not like him?"
The two nurses were chatting and joking with one another.
"Ay, let me tell you a secret."
"What secret?"
"My mentor is Goddess Ning's main physician. She told me, Goddess Ning went into premature labour because yesterday because she and Young Master Lu... did that..."
The nurse was red in the face, and she turned back to look at the man's handsome back profile. She shyly cupped her face while she said, "Oh my gosh, Young Master Lu is too much, right? She is already nine and a half months already."
"So that is why Lu Shaoming and Goddess Ning have such a good relationship with one another."
The two nurses left.
...
Lu Shaoming carried Little Young Master Lu and coaxed him. He did not how long he was coaxing him for, but finally, Little Young Master Lu's crises softened. The tiny bundle of a baby was still hungry, and he turned his tiny head and stretched out his small tongue to lick the corner of the wool blanket.
Lu Shaoming had a smile on his face, and he walked into the hospital ward."Mum, Little Young Master Lu wants to eat now, make some formula and bring it over. I will feed him."
"Okay." The confinement lady speedily made half a bottle of milk.
Lu Shaoming placed the teat of the bottle to Little Young Master Lu's lips, and Little Young Master Lu stretched his tongue out to lick it. He then exerted his strength to suck on it.
The confinement lady looked on and had a smile as she said, "Old Madam, this Little Young Master Lu has an attitude. We are unable to coax him; only Sir can do so. This is because the father and son are connected in their hearts."
Lu Shaoming sat on the chair. This was his first time carrying a small baby, but his left shoulder was supporting the small baby, allowing him to safely sleep in the curve of his strong shoulders. He used one hand to hold the milk bottle, and his posture as he held the child was very professional. He curled up the corners of his lips, and his firm eyebrows had a hint of pride in them as he said, "That's right."
He had learned this sentence from that girl.
Song Yajing looked on and nodded her head in satisfaction."Sons all follow their fathers."
At this moment, Little Young Master Lu was really very hungry, he was sucking hard on the milk bottle, and while he sucked, he looked sideways to have a glance at his old dad.
Nonsense! Didn't you see how long I cried for? I was crying for almost an hour. Even if I did have an attitude before, I became so famished to have one anymore!
What he did know?
Such a cruel old dad!
...
Little Young Master Lu was full and satisfied before he fell asleep again. Song Yajing and the confinement lady both lay down on the hospital bed and sofa respectively, and they prepared to stay the night.
"Shaoming, you have also been exhausted for the entire day. Go back to sleep. I'm here tonight; you come again tomorrow morning, " Song Yajing said softly to Lu Shaoming.
Lu Shaoming shook his head and said, "There is no need for that. I will stay the night here."
