Seeing everyone getting along harmoniously, the happiest thing by far was seeing An Wuyang safe and sound.

He thought to himself, “This is really nice. Not only did it lift a heavy burden from my heart, but I also gained my parents’ understanding.”

Perhaps it was also out of consideration for Dun Dun.

The young man, not intending to dwell on it too much, smiled at An Cheng with a hint of sunshine and said, “Dad, do you want to hold Dun Dun? He’s really cute.”

Everyone was taken aback.

An Cheng and his wife were also taken aback.

Right, as grandparents, they had been in the hospital room for so long without even looking at the child.

“…”

Well, it couldn’t be blamed on An Cheng and his wife. It was mainly because the other party’s presence was too overwhelming, no matter how much they tried to convince themselves, they still didn’t dare to act rashly.

“That’s right, the in-laws haven’t seen the child yet.” Zhang Ruqiqi said with a smile, holding the well-behaved grandson and bringing him to An Cheng’s front. “Be careful, the child has just been born, his arms and legs are still not very strong.”

Her words were full of love and concern.

An Cheng was very nervous and quickly and clumsily held his grandson in his arms. “Thank you…”

 

His mood was very complicated now. Although he was holding his grandson, in reality, it felt like holding an emperor…

Whether it was his son or his son’s child, An Cheng felt very unfamiliar at this moment.

An Wuyang suddenly didn’t look like the person he remembered, everything was different from before.

“So cute…” An Cheng looked at the baby in his arms and sincerely smiled.

Ding Wei couldn’t help but approach her husband, smiling, “Indeed, he’s cute… Let me hold him too.”

An Cheng nodded and handed the swaddle to his wife.

Dun Dun originally opened his eyes and blew bubbles. After experiencing some bumps, he ended up in his grandmother’s arms, and the child burst into tears.

Ding Wei was flustered and at a loss.

“Let me, let me.” Zhang Ruqiqi swiftly and neatly took the well-behaved grandson back into her arms.

An Cheng and his wife watched with wide eyes as their mother-in-law handed the crying child, with whom she couldn’t connect at all, to that imposing and gentle-less Hua Dazong CEO…

“Yunchuan, this child recognizes you.” Zhang Ruqiqi was very helpless.

The reserved gentleman took the child, lightly patting his back with his right hand. “Dun Dun, don’t cry.”

Four short words, deep and low, yet miraculously effective.

Dun Dun, comforted by him, stopped crying after a while.

An Cheng and his wife couldn’t help but widen their eyes, a faint suspicion rising in their hearts. Could this big boss not be handling a child for the first time?

Otherwise, how could he be so skilled?

Little did they know, their boss had been taking care of a child for nine months prior.

These skilled actions were honed day and night on their son, leading to today’s results.

“Dun Dun really likes Daddy.” An Wuyang smiled with a hint of admiration.

He had to admit, he was a little jealous of Dun Dun’s fondness for Huo Yunchuan.

At the same time, he was also gratified by Dun Dun’s intelligence.

This child surely knew that his grandpa was the one who took care of him the most.

“I and Dun Dun like you too.” Huo Yunchuan leaned in and, in front of his in-laws, gave the young man a resounding kiss.

Huo Dad and Huo Mom were used to being with them, so this was nothing out of the ordinary.

Only the conservative An Cheng couple looked embarrassed and averted their gaze.

After all, they were still thinking about the pig trotter soup, so after sitting for a while, they bid farewell.

Huo Xiao said, “Yunchuan will watch the child, I’ll accompany you two out.”

This kind father knew his son’s character well, so he didn’t expect him to personally see off his in-laws.

Only he could fulfill these formalities.

Actually, it wasn’t surprising. Given Huo Yunchuan’s affection for An Wuyang, knowing that his parents were indifferent to the child, his attitude was understandable.

“Mr. Huo, thank you.”

Ding Wei and An Cheng were escorted all the way down to the entrance of the building, and the two of them politely and calmly expressed their gratitude.

Huo Xiao was taken aback and said with a smile, “You’re welcome. It should be our Huo family thanking you. Yuyang is a very good child, you’ve raised him well, we all like him very much.”

An Cheng and Ding Wei: “…”, feeling a bit embarrassed by the praise, they couldn’t even explain why they felt this way.

After the other party left, the couple got into their car.

There was an indescribable silence in the air, caused by the impact of today’s events on their minds.

An Cheng wiped his face. “Alas, our second son…”

He concealed such a big thing and didn’t tell the family.

He remembered the phone call before the New Year’s, when he asked if there were any objections at home…

Thinking about it now, it all made sense. The child grew up and drifted away from the family.

“All of this is the Huo family’s intention,” Ding Wei said with pursed lips. “Yuyang doesn’t have the guts to hide such a big thing,” then her expression became complex, and she, like her husband, ran her fingers through her hair.

“What does he think now?” An Cheng murmured, “Weiwei, I feel like his heart is no longer at home…”

Ding Wei’s expression changed slightly, but she remained calm. “Don’t think too much about it.” Then she directed her husband to drive to the market to buy two fresh pig trotters.

At five o’clock in the afternoon, An Cheng drove his wife over again and delivered the freshly cooked pig trotter soup to his son’s hospital room.

At this moment, the Huo couple had already left the hospital, leaving only Huo Yunchuan and the nanny in the hospital room.

An Wuyang had just fallen asleep, his peaceful sleeping face turned towards Dun Dun.

However, in order to satisfy his own little desire, Huo Dad carefully turned the little angel’s face towards him.

That’s better.

The nanny, Aunt Zhang, interrupted the enjoyment of the Huo CEO. “Sir, would you like to rest for a while?”

He squinted, “No need.”

He continued to watch.

Occasionally glancing at his silly son blowing bubbles, he reminded him disdainfully, “Don’t wake up Dad, or else I’ll spank you.”

There was no trace of the usual tenderness.

An Cheng and Ding Wei entered the ward and were also reminded by this man to keep their voices down.

“Oh, this is the pig trotter soup I cooked for Wuyang…”

Ding Wei’s words were quickly interrupted by the man who said, “Give it to Aunt Zhang.”

Then Aunt Zhang came over, took the pig trotter soup from Wuyang’s mother’s hand, and put it away. “Thank you, thank you. When Wuyang is discharged, take it back home to eat.”

Ding Wei asked casually, “When will Wuyang be discharged?”

She looked at Huo Yunchuan, but Aunt Zhang was the one who answered her, “It’ll be a few more days, maybe next Wednesday. It depends on Sir’s decision.”

Everyone looked at Huo Yunchuan, hoping to get an answer from him.

However, he was too engrossed in watching the child and the sleeping teenager to even spare them a glance.

“…” Such a distant son-in-law.

The couple, Ding Wei and her husband, didn’t dare to ask any more questions and quietly left after a moment.

Although their son had married into a wealthy family and had a precious son, they felt vaguely disrespected in front of them.

Ding Wei, who usually commanded at home and was equally uncompromising in the workplace, could only sigh in front of Huo Yunchuan.

She didn’t even feel like complaining to her husband.

Because she was pragmatic and knew what the Huo family represented.

“I knew it, how could the company suddenly give me a promotion and raise…” An Cheng was driving when he suddenly blurted out.

He noticed his wife seemed unhappy and tried to comfort her, “It’s a good thing that Wuyu has found a good family. Don’t overthink it.”

Ding Wei nodded but didn’t say anything.

She wasn’t really unhappy; she was just lost in thought.

In the evening, Ding Wei told her daughter overseas about the situation and asked her to arrange a few days before the 15th so as not to miss her nephew’s full moon celebration.

“…” An Wuyu was completely dumbfounded.

Impossible, impossible, impossible. She didn’t believe a word her mother said today. Everything sounded as fake as a Mary Sue fantasy novel.

In An Wuyu’s impression, her big brother was introverted, with no shining qualities apart from having a good face.

What’s with the childbirth?

She felt like she was listening to a tacky soap opera, it was like her mom was playing a prank.

“This is true, Wuyu. Come back before the 15th if you don’t want to grow apart from your big brother…” Ding Wei remembered what An Cheng had said today and rubbed her heavy heart, “Your big brother is drifting away from the family, he may resent us for not being good to him before.”

An Wuyu fell into silence, unsure of what was going on in her mind.

“I understand, Mom.”

Little did they expect that one day, the most inconspicuous younger brother would leap to success and become someone they all needed to carefully retain.

An Wuyu tightened her grip on her phone with a complicated expression.

Previously, she hadn’t had any call records with her older brother for the better part of a year. Now, how could she have the face to call him?

— Wuyang, I’ve heard everything from Mom. First of all, congratulations sincerely on having a baby and finding someone you love. We all accept and bless you^^ Also, Sister has always loved you dearly. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.

After carefully considering her wording and tone, An Wuyu sent this text message to her older brother.

However, An Wuyang’s phone wasn’t on him.

When his sister’s text message rang, the phone was lying in Huo Yunchuan’s pocket.

He took out his phone, opened it leisurely, and glanced through the contents absentmindedly.

The little prince of pig trotters was busy gnawing on a trotter.

After being marinated in sweet vinegar and ginger, the trotters carried a hint of sweet and sour flavor, with a soft and non-greasy texture.

An Wuyang’s mouth was oily as he devoured the trotters, not missing a shred of meat on the bones.

“I don’t understand…” he muttered, “Why do the moms online hate postpartum meals so much?”

Clearly, they’re delicious.

“Hmm,” Huo Yunchuan smiled and asked, “Do you know why postpartum mothers eat various soups during confinement?”

An Wuyang continued gnawing, “Why?”

The man with a smug face said, “Because postpartum soups promote lactation.”

“…” An Wuyang stopped eating abruptly, and the trotter was placed back in the bowl from his hand.

Huo Yunchuan, the CEO, satisfied his twisted sense of humor, smirked lowly, showing no guilt for potentially leaving a psychological scar on the young man.

An Wuyang exclaimed in frustration, “Argh!”

He clearly didn’t need to lactate, yet he was served pig trotter soup.

He decided not to drink the remaining pot.

“Good boy, let me see if there’s any milk…” Huo Yunchuan didn’t let him off, stepping forward to confront the petulant teenager, one hand reaching under his hospital gown…

“Ah…” An Wuyang was dumbfounded by the surprise attack and squirmed a bit.

The teenager’s cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, a mix of embarrassment and anger, as beautiful as a painting.

“You should be grateful you’re still in confinement.”

Otherwise, it wouldn’t be as simple as just squirming a bit. Huo Yunchuan retreated to a safe and composed position, loosening his collar to get some air.

“Brute.” An Wuyang, who had already given birth, wouldn’t fail to understand the demeanor of Dun Dun’s father.

Mr. Huo, accused of being a brute, just chuckled. If being called a brute for this was the standard, he feared the little angel wouldn’t find enough adjectives to describe him in the future.

Huo Yunchuan remembered something, “Wuyang, you have a message.” He took out the little angel’s phone and handed it back to him.

“Hmm?” An Wuyang was very curious, thinking it was from the chubby one who often texted him.

But upon closer inspection, “Oh, it’s from my sister. She’s studying in the US now.” Saying that, he quickly typed a reply with his fingers flying.

“Thank you, sis. I’m really sorry for keeping it from you earlier, and also about Dun Dun’s full moon banquet. Are you coming back?

Due to the time difference, it’s unlikely that she’ll see this text message so soon.

“Are you and your family always this polite?” Huo Yunchuan saw An Wuyu’s reply.

“Ah? Oh, kind of.” An Wuyang handed over his phone, his expression calm. “I’m the second child, not like you, an only child.”

So he had always been aware of his situation.

“It’s okay.” Huo Yunchuan patted the little angel’s head, his expression not like joking. “From now on, this daddy will spoil you.”

“What daddy? You’re shameless.” An Wuyang immediately blushed and scolded.

But it still touched a chord in his heart, biting his lip as he leaned closer. “You’re so good to Dun Dun, you’re a good daddy.”

Huo Yunchuan kissed the obedient child’s forehead. “I’ll only be better to you than to Dun Dun.”

The boy shook his head in his arms, looking very anxious. “No, you can’t be biased. You have to treat us all the same.”

Huo Daddy agreed with a smile, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.” He grinned, “I kissed Dun Dun three times today.”

An Wuyang widened his eyes in realization, “Hmm…” He was caught off guard by the older man and kissed three times, each lasting for five minutes.

An Wuyang felt annoyed, knowing very well that the other party was interested in his body… and he stupidly walked right into it.

Serves him right for having swollen lips!

Three days later, An Wuyang and the baby had been in the hospital for ten days.

On Wednesday morning, Huo Yunchuan went to handle the discharge procedures.

Then this huge team, with someone carrying the child, someone carrying things, and someone clearing the way on both sides.

The group left the hospital in a grand procession, the scene particularly spectacular.

Ten days only allowed the wound to heal slightly, it still hurt to get out of bed and move around.

Huo Yunchuan directly picked up the young boy, attracting a lot of onlookers along the way.

But because someone cleared the way, no one dared to approach their group.

This time they went directly to the Huo family mansion instead of Huo Yunchuan’s apartment.

Because they had added a precious young master, the apartment was obviously not suitable for living.

In the back seat of a Rolls-Royce, Zhang Ruoxi was responsible for carrying the child and was now smiling very happily, “Okay, Dun Dun and Daddy are finally going home.”

Huo Yunchuan and An Wuyang were sitting in another car.

Seeing this luxurious convoy, An Wuyang felt for the first time the reality of marrying into a wealthy family…

Because usually living with Huo Yunchuan in the apartment, although the standard of living was elevated, it wasn’t to a shocking degree.

There was also the reason that Huo Yunchuan didn’t show off his wealth.

An Wuyang had been with him for so long and had never heard him talk about money.

Before Dun Dun was born, his grandparents had spared no effort in preparing sufficient baby supplies for him.

Things like baby cribs were all placed in Huo Yunchuan’s bedroom.

Back when Huo Yunchuan was still single, the bedroom was large and spacious, with not much furniture.

This time, his bedroom was occupied by two little angels, and the decoration style and furnishings were all switched to a healing style, which was drastically different from the usual style of Huo Daddy, who was lying nonchalantly in the kawaii room with the two little angels, helping them fall asleep.

Since the baby crib was placed in their bedroom, it meant that the nanny wouldn’t be staying overnight.

Huo Yunchuan nursed the baby alone while also taking care of the still-healing An Wuyang.

Many times, An Wuyang woke up at night to see Huo Daddy feeding Dun Dun with a serious expression on his face, yet still managing to look handsome as ever.
