Chapter 808 - 429: The Birth of Li Weiyi

"Little Zhiyi, Auntie is back! Look what I bought for you, a toy that plays music!"

"Tsk, are you smiling? There’s nothing funny, cry for me so I can see!"

At half past six in the evening, Wu Wenyue and Xu Manning came back home from work, changed into their slippers, and headed straight to the children’s room, teasing the baby Huang Zhiyi in the crib.

Miss Xu also bought a crib mobile, and while installing it according to the instructions, she showed disdain for Wenyue’s rough way of affection towards the baby.

"Act like an adult, the child is so young, why do you keep scaring him... hey, gentle with the kisses!"

Wu Wenyue retorted: "It’s not like it’s our child, why are you feeling bad? If you love kids so much, why not have one yourself?"

"It’s like kittens and puppies; only others’ are the best, raising your own feels like trouble... Where’s the rattle you bought? Take it out and see if he likes it."

"Here it is, see this!"

The newborn baby whose eyes and ears aren’t fully functional yet sleeps nearly twenty hours a day, so the toys they bought are of no use for now. After teasing for a while, Huang Zhiyi blinked his shiny black grape-like eyes and slowly drifted back to sleep.

"Feels like he changes every day, much bigger than when we saw him for the first time last week!"

"He’s over forty days old now, and he’s not only grown but looks way better than when he was born."

Even though the baby was asleep, Wu and Xu were still curious, touching this and that, one gently holding his little hand with a finger, the other leaning in to ’mua’ the baby’s cheeks.

Huang Zhiyi’s skin, initially reddish after birth, had turned fair and radiant, his chubby little face was white and tender, drastically boosting his cuteness level. Miss Xu couldn’t stop giving kisses.

Wu Wenyue was speechless: "You tell me off, but you’re still kissing him nonstop when he’s asleep."

"Just a couple of kisses, what’s wrong?"

Seeing Manning about to open her mouth like she’d bite someone, Huang Tianxuan, who had been typing at the computer, finally came out to stop them:

"My son just had milk, let him sleep peacefully, or he’ll cry if he wakes up, and you won’t be able to calm him. By the way, who said he was ugly before? Now you can’t stop holding and kissing him every day. If you love him so much, why don’t you raise him for me?"

Xu Manning glanced up at the computer screen and guessed: "So you’ve finished your confinement, planning to resume your studies and work?"

Huang Tianxuan sighed: "I need to make money for my son’s formula, and the mentor is urging... If you’re relaxing at home, help me change a diaper or something. It’s inconvenient to hire a babysitter, and with only Xiaofeng, I’m afraid he can’t handle it alone."

That’s a joke! Whoever’s child it is, they should take care of it!

Xu Manning rolled her eyes: "Change a diaper? Aren’t you afraid I’ll feed him the diaper instead?"

"Not scared at all."

Huang Tianxuan chuckled: "If you’re that ruthless, why not feed his dad poop instead? Or hold on until Old Zhao’s baby arrives to give her trouble!"

Wu Wenyue waved her hand: "Let’s not talk about this, kinda gross... We should head next door for dinner, what type of cuisine is tonight?"

"Clink~"

Just as the words were out, the front door opened in the foyer, followed by Li Peifeng walking into the kitchen, holding a large thermal box in each hand.

"Come eat, it’s all home-cooked dishes."

Wu Wenyue glanced around, teasingly: "Pig’s trotters and soy bean soup, sautéed shrimp, mushroom stew with black chicken... There seems to be more lactation-inducing food than usual today."

Li Peifeng explained: "Because Tianxuan’s going to work, so her breast milk supply needs boosting. If you all don’t like these, feel free to order separately, I’ll cook for you."

Xu Manning pondered: "You and Old Zhao ate first? But Tianxuan didn’t?"

"They don’t welcome me, from now on I’ll just deliver food."

Picking up a pair of chopsticks, Huang Tianxuan tasted the pig trotters, satisfied: "Not bad, quite warm. I suggest you both visit next door less often, Old Zhao is wicked beyond belief, with no limit to shameless deeds. He’ll trap you without blinking. Even if you seem harmonious, he only maintains superficial relations!"

"Did you two have a fight again?"

Wu Wenyue laughed: "When do they not argue? You should ask how many times they fought today."

Xu Manning was curious: "What was it about this time?"

Feeling embarrassed, not wanting to elaborate, considering the naming issue where she took the hit silently, would only get more awkward if exposed, especially since it required a name change for her son to settle. She hesitated to find a better name, so had to bear it for now, giving Li Peifeng a kick: "You explain!"

"Nothing but trivial matters..."

Li Peifeng pretended not to hear: "You all enjoy the meal, I’ll go check on our son, seems he pooped."

New parents sometimes jokingly call their children little four-legged gold gobblers.

Describing children as ’beasts’ isn’t far off. Before they turn two, their intelligence isn’t much higher than kittens or puppies, acting purely on instinct, requiring care for basic needs like eating, drinking, and sleeping.

"Quite a good amount!"

Grinning, Li Peifeng skillfully cleaned his son’s bottom and put on a fresh diaper, all while Huang Zhiyi remained asleep, peacefully.

"Naughty kid, inherits my sleeping quality."

Just looking at the baby quietly sleeping, Li Peifeng couldn’t help but smile foolishly, carefully holding him in his arms, examining his features, trying to find any resemblance to himself.
