Chapter 1798: Chapter 1179: The Grand Finale_4

"How is Zuo Hai?"

Regarding the man who is obsessed with Ye Meiru, Chuxia really can’t imagine what he would become after losing Ye Meiru.

"He locked himself in his room for a day and then went to the Ye family, hoping they would agree to let him marry Ye Meiru. He said he wants to be buried alongside Ye Meiru in the future.

To be honest, I do admire his infatuation but, unfortunately, his obsession is misplaced. I hope he wakes up to reality someday."

"Tough call..." Chuxia shook her head, "In the past, I really didn’t believe in one-sided, unconditional love in this world, but now I do. Zuo Hai’s feelings for Ye Meiru aren’t love; they’re obsession.

As long as it’s Ye Meiru, no matter what she does, he can accept it. It’s fortunate that he has a sense of right and wrong and doesn’t share Ye Meiru’s way of thinking. Otherwise, I’d be on edge guarding against him."

Zhou Mikang frowned: "You’ve reminded me; I should have someone keep an eye on him just in case something unexpected happens."

"That’s a good idea; monitoring him for a while will put our hearts at ease. Do you think I’m becoming paranoid? I really find it hard to trust people now."

"No, it just shows you’re getting smarter. People with such extreme personalities should be watched carefully." He squatted down, placing his ear against his wife’s belly for a while. The Division Commander started acting silly again, "Daughter, Daddy’s back. Did you miss Daddy today...?"

Chuxia was used to it by now and didn’t get as awkward as she initially did. She pondered silently, wondering what the Division Commander would do if, after calling her daughter for so long, she gave birth to a son.

As it turns out, what people often think about really does come true.

Since it was their second child, the delivery was particularly smooth and not as dangerous as it was with Nannan and Beibei. However, after the birth, it was confirmed that the Division Commander had indeed been foolish.

When the nurse came out with the baby to congratulate, Zhou Mikang’s face visibly froze for a moment, but it was just a split second before he was filled with joy. Whether a son or a daughter, they were his child. Although he had hoped for a daughter, since it was a son, he was equally happy! Then, his gaze towards his younger son noticeably softened.

The Division Commander’s expression finally put the nurse’s heart at ease; she had thought the man didn’t like sons, but it turned out he was just overwhelmed with joy.

"Quick, hug him..." Old Madam Zhou nudged her grandson, "When Nannan and Beibei were born, you weren’t around to hold them first. Now, hurry and make up for that regret."

Looking at the soft little bundle, Zhou Mikang extended his hand but then pulled it back, afraid he might harm the little guy by holding him!

The nurse smiled and gently placed the little one into Zhou Mikang’s arms: "Just support his bottom and neck properly. Newborns love being held by their parents most. Don’t think that because he’s small, he doesn’t understand. He can sense it intensely. The more you hold him now, the closer he’ll be to you in the future."

Hearing the nurse’s advice, Zhou Mikang immediately held the little one firmly in his hands. He didn’t want his younger son to be as indifferent to him as his older sons, showing no special closeness to their father.

The nurse chuckled softly: "Comrade, please relax a little when you’re holding him. You’re so tense that it makes the baby uncomfortable too."

Zhou Mikang quickly relaxed his shoulders, looking slightly anxious as he glanced at the nurse: "Is this better?"

"Yes, much better than before. The more you hold him, the more familiar you’ll become. Mommy is too tired after giving birth, so it’s good for Dad to hold the baby more. It brings you closer to the baby and lightens your wife’s burden—a win-win situation you should engage in more often."

"Sure, sure, sure..."

The elders watched with amusement, finding it rare that the usually stern man was so open to guidance, making them see him in a new light.

Especially Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe, they were exceedingly pleased. The more their son-in-law cared for their grandson, the more he cherished their daughter, the less they worried, feeling reassured that their daughter had married well!

As for whether it was a boy or a girl, they didn’t mind. As long as it was their daughter’s child, they loved both boys and girls! The Zhou family’s elders shared the same thought. Although two sons and a daughter sounded ideal, three sons weren’t bad either. Looking around the courtyard, whose family was as prosperous as theirs?
