Fortunately, An Wu Yang had just undergone surgery and was indeed very tired, so it didn’t take long for him to fall asleep on an empty stomach.

The remaining two people, Huo Yun Chuan took the first half of the night, while Zhang Ruo Qi took the second half.

When Huo Yun Chuan went to sleep, he specifically instructed his mother to wake him up if An Wu Yang needed to use the bathroom.

Luckily, An Wu Yang’s sleep quality was good.

When he woke up, it was already bright outside.

The nanny Aunt Zhang hurried over and is currently taking care of the baby.

Zhang Ruo Qi rubbed her sore eyes, walked to the bedside, and said goodbye to An Wu Yang, “Yang Yang, Mom is leaving now. I’ll come back tomorrow to see you and Dun Dun.”

An Wu Yang, just waking up, drowsily said, “Mm, Mom, see you later.”

Zhang Ruo Qi was initially stunned, then smiled, “Ah.” Unable to resist, she reached out and touched An Wu Yang’s hair.

Huo Yun Chuan had already been awake, or rather, he hadn’t slept at all.

He was thinking about the baby and An Wu Yang, lying on the bed with his eyes closed just to rest.

“Take care on your way,” Huo Yun Chuan escorted his mother to the door, his indifferent demeanor not particularly warm.

 

However, Zhang Ruo Qi felt pleasantly surprised, “Mm, I know, you take good care of Yang Yang and Dun Dun,” she turned to leave, then turned back, “By the way, Dun Dun’s full name…”

“His name is Huo An,” Huo Yun Chuan said without hesitation.

Zhang Ruo Qi looked a bit surprised, then smiled, “That’s good.”

Last night, the Huo family welcomed a new member, and the whole family celebrated.

At exactly nine o’clock in the morning, Huo Xiao began calling close relatives and friends to inform them of their grandson’s one-month celebration party, generating excitement for the event.

Their family had several generations of elders with wide social circles, leaving them with many close friends.

The Ji family was one of them.

The elders of the Ji family had a good relationship with the elders of the Huo family, and they received a joyful call from their old friend early in the morning.

“…” This doesn’t make sense. Isn’t that kid from the Huo family unmarried?

On the other end of the phone, Mr. Huo was laughing happily, “Haha, Lao Ji, one month from now, you must come to my grandson’s full moon banquet.”

Mr. Ji said, “You don’t even have a daugther-in-law, where would you get a grandson?”

Mr. Huo retorted, “You’re the one without a daughter-in-law. My Yun Chuan got his marriage certificate with his wife half a year ago.”

In other words, their baby Dun Dun was a legitimate child born within wedlock.

And then, afraid that his old friend wouldn’t believe him, he sent over the red book photo that Huo Yun Chuan had posted on his social media earlier, showing affection with his wife.

Grandpa Ji looked at his friend’s proud demeanor and thought about his own unruly grandson, feeling irritated.

After sulking for a moment, he picked up his phone and called Ji Mingxuan, saying, “Yun Chuan’s child has been born. What do you think?”

Ji Mingxuan: “Wow, born?”

That’s great. He quickly hung up on his grandpa and said, “I won’t tell you anymore. I’ll call and ask my godson which hospital room he’s in.”

At the hospital, Huo Yun Chuan was diligently taking care of An Wu Yang and their son, without having informed anyone yet.

Meanwhile, Jiang Shaofei came to work early and learned that An Wu Yang had given birth last night.

He was currently in the hospital room, holding the newborn baby with a smile.

“His name is Dun Dun, right?” Jiang Shaofei looked at his nephew’s face, liking him more and more as he looked, “My goodness, Yun Chuan, I’m starting to envy you now.”

Having a wife and child was such a happy life, making him feel like trying to get out of being single.

However, Jiang Shaofei knew that it was just wishful thinking.

“Yeah, Dun Dun is the name chosen by Yang Yang.” Huo Yun Chuan said as he held a warm towel, washing An Wu Yang’s face and wiping his hands.

“Ah…” An Wu Yang took a sharp breath because he had just tried to adjust his position and felt the wound starting to ache.

Giving birth was really suffering, he thought.

This was truly a moment where he felt like crying.

Huo Yun Chuan panicked when he heard An Wu Yang gasp and immediately dropped the towel to help him stabilize, “Don’t move.”

“It hurts so much.” An Wu Yang’s eyes shimmered with tears.

Huo Yun Chuan’s face tightened, and he raised his hand to press the call button, immediately summoning a nurse, “The anesthesia has worn off, please arrange for a pain relief injection as soon as possible.”

The nurse looked hesitant, “Sir, administering a pain relief injection like this requires a doctor’s judgment…”

Jiang Shaofei intervened in time, “Go ahead and arrange it, it’s okay.”

Only then did the nurse notice Jiang Shaofei, who was well-known in the hospital, and also a shareholder of the hospital, “Alright, Dr. Jiang, I’ll do it now.”

On this side, An Wu Yang, who looked exhausted, hungry, and in pain, heard that he could have a pain relief injection, and his eager eyes instantly lit up.

Not long after receiving the pain relief injection, the pain from the wound subsided.

Jiang Shaofei handed Dun Dun back to his brother’s arms and said with heartfelt concern, “Giving birth is so hard, are you guys not going to have a second child?”

He felt that based on Huo Yun Chuan’s level of concern for An Wu Yang, there was an eighty percent chance they wouldn’t have another child.

Huo Yun Chuan nodded, his eyes always on the young man lying on the bed.

The young man’s face was pale and dim, with a hint of pain in his beautiful eyes.

Approaching noon, once they got the doctor’s approval, Aunt Zhang immediately used the hospital’s microwave to heat up the postpartum meals she had brought and prepared them for An Wu Yang to eat.

Finally, he could eat something.

The young man who became a father since last night, showed no signs of being a father in his demeanor. He kept urging softly, “It’s cooled down, give me a bite…”

Huo Yun Chuan, abandoning his usual calm demeanor, became somewhat eager as he blew on the spoonful of porridge to cool it down and fed it to the young man’s mouth.

After the young man had eaten several spoonfuls, Chairman Huo’s tense heart finally settled.

He softened his facial expression and felt very satisfied with the feeding job he was doing.

“Don’t rush, take your time,” Huo Yun Chuan reminded him.

“Okay.” Although An Wu Yang was hungry, his stomach capacity was limited.

After eating about half a bowl, his eating pace slowed down.

Ji Mingxuan came to the door of the ward and saw the nanny feeding the little baby, while his buddy held a bowl and wiped his wife’s mouth.

This level of seriousness and dedication he had seen before, but this gentleness was rare.

Ji Mingxuan knocked on the door, attracting everyone’s attention.

“Xiao Ming Ge?” An Wuyang turned his head, revealing a big smile.

He really enjoyed playing with Ji Mingxuan.

Shortly after, Lawyer Chen also arrived. The careful gentleman bought a bouquet of air-purifying green plants, adding a touch of vitality to the entire room.

“Congratulations to both of you on becoming fathers,” Chen Chu smiled warmly. “I’ve also become an uncle.”

After learning that Dun Dun’s name was Huo An, both of them simultaneously stroked their chins.

Their first reaction was whether Huo Yun Chuan had been too casual in naming his eldest nephew?

But then they thought it wasn’t a bad name after all.

Three days later, the wound healed.

An Wuyang had been lying in bed all day, feeling like his waist was about to break.

Now he could finally sit up and give his tired bones a bit of relief.

Being able to sit up also meant being able to hold his son.

“Dun Dun.” An Wuyang reached out his hands towards Huo Yun Chuan, who was holding Dun Dun, his intention evident on his face.

Huo Yun Chuan was initially unwilling, but seeing the longing in the young man’s eyes, he couldn’t bring himself to refuse.

“Be careful, don’t let him press against your wound.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Under An Wuyang’s hopeful gaze, Huo Yun Chuan slowly handed over the little baby, who was born after months of hardships.

He handled it with great care, placing the baby into the arms of the young man.

“My son is so cute,” An Wuyang muttered emotionally, his slender thumb brushing over Dun Dun’s sparse hair, then his eyes turned red.

He was thinking about how foolish he was back then, how could he have thought of handing Dun Dun over to Huo Yun Chuan to raise, and then leaving himself.

If he had done that, he would definitely cry like a fool.

“…” Huo Yun Chuan looked at the cute little angel holding an equally adorable little angel, unable to move at all, and completely unable to shift his greedy eyes away.

He felt fortunate and proud, they were both his.

“You should go to sleep.” After letting the little angel hold the baby for five minutes, Huo Da Zongcai ‘cruelly’ put an end to their father-son bonding.

The young man, who had become proud after having a baby, shook his head and held onto his son tightly. “I want to hold him a little longer.”

“…” The pitiful President Huo realized he had no way to deal with this.

“Then just five more minutes.” He raised his hand to check the time, determined not to soften after five minutes.

“No rush, I’m not sleepy yet.” An Wuyang, who finally got to hold his son, didn’t even want to agree to just five minutes.

He was too busy teasing his son.

However, Dun Dun fell asleep, only occasionally moving his mouth or yawning.

It was evident he wanted to free his little hands, but constrained by the swaddle, he could only move his shoulders.

President Huo, who had become powerless in the face of the baby’s birth, sighed inwardly.

At this moment, what else could he do but enjoy his adorable son with the little angel?

In the following days, An Wuyang’s hospital room was always filled with family members taking turns to accompany him.

Huo Yun Chuan had been there the whole time, never leaving the hospital.

Facing everyone’s concern and care, An Wuyang felt genuinely happy now.

He felt much more courageous about confessing to his parents than before Dun Dun was born.

An Wuyang had been hesitant to tell his parents before because he felt ashamed that he and Huo Yun Chuan had a one-night stand and ended up with a baby.

He was afraid that telling his parents would bring them disgrace.

Now, he redefined his relationship with Huo Yun Chuan. It was no longer a one-night stand between strangers but a legitimate love and marriage, very positive indeed.

So, An Wuyang picked up his phone confidently and called Ding Wei.

Why Ding Wei and not An Cheng? Because he knew, when it came to family matters, Mom had the final say.

His own father was just a figurehead.

Today was Sunday, and the An family was at home with nothing to do.

In the fast-paced urban life, only Saturdays and Sundays allowed for a bit of leisure.

“It’s Wuyang’s call,” Ding Wei frowned and said to her husband, “Ever since this kid got a girlfriend, he’s been spending less time at home.”

Then she answered the call while An Cheng added from the side, “It’s been almost a year since they’ve been dating. Let’s ask him to bring her home during the summer vacation.”

Clear and audible, the voice came into An Wuyang’s ears through the phone: “…” He thought, there was no need to wait until summer vacation. Today, he would make things clear.

“Mom,” An Wuyang called out.

Ding Wei, full of complaints, immediately said, “You finally decided to call back. I thought after getting a girlfriend, you’d forget all about your parents.”

An Wuyang paused, took a breath, and said, “She’s not my girlfriend.”

Ding Wei: “What?”

An Wuyang took a deep breath and blurted out, “Mom, I didn’t get a girlfriend, I got a boyfriend, and we got married half a year ago.”

There was silence on the other end, as the young man pursed his lips and continued, “It was the time when school started and I asked for my household registration book. Not only that, I’m currently on leave from school because…”

“An Wuyang!” Ding Wei’s stern voice interrupted An Wuyang’s explanation, sounding very angry. “How dare you do this?”

Dropping out of school? Having a boyfriend?

Ding Wei felt like she was about to faint. Was this something her honest and straightforward second son would do?

An Wuyang hesitated for a moment, then spoke again, “Mom, I’m sorry for keeping it from you, but there are reasons behind this, I…”

“Don’t say anything more, come home right now!” Ding Wei shouted into the phone. “If you don’t come back, don’t bother coming back at all!”

“…” His parents didn’t even give him a chance to speak. The young man holding the phone felt defeated.

The only thing he could be grateful for was that his ability to endure was stronger than he imagined.

Even though he heard words like “don’t bother coming back” from the other end, he felt only a slight panic.

And it quickly passed, because Huo Yun Chuan was by his side, listening to him make the call while breastfeeding their child.

Whenever An Wuyang paused, the man would ask with his eyes, “Do you need help?”

“No need.” An Wuyang pinched his brow and continued the call with Ding Wei. “Mom, I really can’t come back now, because I’m in the hospital,” he sighed. “As for the specific reasons, if you and Dad are free today, come over and see for yourselves.”

Ding Wei, who had been full of anger just now, suppressed her temper upon hearing that An Wuyang was in the hospital. “What happened?”

An Wuyang hurriedly explained, “It’s not an illness, um, it’s actually good news for me.”

Hearing that it wasn’t an illness, Ding Wei no longer had the mood to argue with him. “I’ve told you to come home immediately,” she added. “You’re only eighteen and you’ve already registered with someone. Do you realize you’ve been deceived?”

She was now as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, giving her son advice. “Come back secretly, don’t let that man know, and then we’ll talk to him about getting a divorce.”

If he refuses, we’ll sue him.

“A divorce?” An Wuyang murmured softly.

The man who accompanied him, whose face was originally devoid of hostility, now melted with happiness. But upon hearing the word “divorce,” Huo Yun Chuan became furious.

“Give me the phone,” he said to An Wuyang, grabbing the phone from him and putting it to his ear. “You want us to get a divorce?”

His voice was cold and chilling.
