Chapter 2572 - 2573: Thank You for Your Hard Work, Honey

Besides, the sibling bond among them has always been strong, so there’s no worry about not having siblings.

Everyone took turns holding the baby, and the King, unable to resist any longer, asked, "Um, can I hold her?"

Everyone then realized that the King and Queen had been left aside, eagerly watching their beloved granddaughter being passed from one person to another, almost being envious to no end!

Gu Mian hurriedly brought the little princess to the King, smiling a bit apologetically, "Sorry, King."

"No problem, no problem." The King smiled like a child, grinning brightly, carefully and a bit awkwardly stretching out his hands to take the pink and beautiful little princess, instantly falling in love, showering her with kisses as he held her in his arms.

The Queen watched anxiously from the side and couldn’t help but reprimand, "Did you shave today? Your beard’s poking the child!"

The King was utterly enamored, while the Queen was quite anxious, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Outside was lively, while inside the operating room, Nangong Lin lay on the surgical bed looking quite spirited.

When Alvin came in, she hadn’t finished her stitches yet. By special permission, Alvin put on surgical scrubs, changed shoes, wore a cap, sanitized himself, and came in to see her.

"Xiaolin!" Alvin was very excited when he saw Nangong Lin, rushing to her immediately.

"Mm." Nangong Lin was fully conscious and in good spirits. Seeing Alvin come in, she acknowledged him with a nod.

Alvin approached and saw her cheeks slightly flushed, not knowing if it was from exhaustion or what.

"Thanks for your hard work, my love." Alvin leaned down and kissed Nangong Lin’s lips, his heart full of gratitude.

"It was alright." Nangong Lin smiled lightly.

Alvin stroked her forehead, feeling her hair slightly damp, indicating she must be very tired.

The stitching was covered with specialized surgical cloth, so Alvin couldn’t see it, but he knew it must have been exhausting without having to look.

"Does it hurt?" His lips touched Nangong Lin’s again, softly caressing and asking.

"It’s alright, I don’t feel anything right now." Nangong Lin smiled; the stitching was done under local anesthesia, so she naturally felt no pain, only relief and happiness.

"Did you see the baby?" Nangong Lin couldn’t help but ask.

"Yes, I saw her!" Alvin held Nangong Lin’s hand, gently caressing the back of it with his thumb and said tenderly, "She’s gorgeous, just like you."

"Really?" Nangong Lin raised an eyebrow, "How come I feel she looks more like you?"

What Nangong Lin said was true. When the baby was born, the nurse had shown her, and the newborn princess’s features were quite deep and sculpted, clearly a mixed-race baby. The contours of her features leaned more Western.

"She looks like both you and me." Alvin kissed Nangong Lin affectionately again, "Xiaolin, she is our daughter, mine and yours! Thank you, thank you for giving me a daughter. You two will be my whole life from now on, I promise you. Xiaolin, you don’t know how much I wanted a daughter, how much I love daughters, and I can’t believe you actually gave me one!"

As Alvin spoke, he became emotional, unable to hold back and shed a couple of tears.

To be honest, he really loved having a daughter. More than once, he had imagined how he would feel if Nangong Lin had a daughter, and while waiting for the delivery, only heaven knew how excited and anxious he was inside.
