Lan Shan woke up again, already lying in the hospital bed.

The smell of disinfectant lingered at the tip of her nose, and she furrowed her brows, feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

"Awake?"

Gong Shaoyu’s voice sounded, she turned her head to take a look and prepared to sit up, but Gong Shaoyu stopped her, "Just rest for now. You just gave birth. Your body is very weak."

She nodded blankly, the outside had already turned dark, "What time is it?"

"Past three o’clock."

From morning when her stomach started hurting to giving birth, did it really take such a long time during the process?

He took the chicken soup that had been prepared long ago, fed her some, then covered her with the quilt, "Just sleep quietly for now, any issues can be discussed tomorrow."

"Mm, okay."

Having responded, she closed her eyes again to sleep.

After she fell asleep, Gong Shaoyu finally stood up and left the ward.

He fished a phone out of his pocket, found a number, and dialed it.

The phone rang twice before being answered, "Hello, Shaoyu, why are you calling me so late, is there something on your mind?"

Gong Shaoyu couldn’t hide the joy of becoming a father for the first time, he spoke somewhat excitedly, "Xinluo, Shanshan has given birth."

"Really? That’s wonderful, congratulations!" Ye Xinluo said with a smile.

"Thank you, your turn will come soon, take care during this time, don’t eat anything you shouldn’t."

"I know, I know. You shouldn’t be calling me, go hold the baby now, I bet your mind has already drifted off."

Seeing through his thoughts, Gong Shaoyu chuckled, "Then I won’t disturb you any longer, hanging up, make sure to rest well."

Ending the call, Ye Xinluo nearly jumped with joy, only to be stopped by Beichen Rui, "Don’t jump, take care!"

"Oh... Shanshan’s baby is born, I wish I could go see it now!"

Beichen Rui raised an eyebrow, "Just rest at home peacefully, there’s plenty of time to visit later."

...

The next morning, when Lan Shan woke up, she saw Gong Shaoyu sitting by the bed, holding a small baby in his hands.

Since he was a new father, his actions were inevitably a bit clumsy, careful not to bump the child.

Sitting up with support, Gong Shaoyu helped her with a pillow behind her back, sat beside her, and handed the baby over for her to see, "Do you think this little guy’s face resembles yours?"

Holding her hand, "Wife, you’ve worked hard."

Lan Shan smiled, reaching out and tapping the little one’s mouth, "Have you given our son a name?"

"Gong Fan, how about it?"

"Gong Fan..."

"Sure, let’s call him Gong Fan!"

Leaning against Gong Shaoyu’s arm, she smiled while gazing at her son, her heart overflowing with warmth.

...

Ling Family

Mu Xue sat on the carpet in the living room, spreading her arms, "Jinyu dear, come to mommy..."

Ling Jinyu reached out arms, babbling something, his body wobbled as he walked towards Mu Xue.

"Xue’er..."

Mu Xue cradled the child in her arms, turned to look at her mother, "Mom, is there something on your mind?"

Zhang Minyi gave her a look, "Come to my room, I want to talk to you about something."

Handing Ling Jinyu over to the maid, she followed her mother to the bedroom on the second floor.

"Mom, what do you want to talk about?"

Zhang Minyi turned her back towards her, staring out the window, remaining silent for a long time before speaking, "Xue’er, be honest with me, did something happen between you and Haoyu?"

Mu Xue froze, "Something happen? Haoyu and I are doing fine, mom, are you overthinking?"

Zhang Minyi turned, eyes fixed on her, "Really? Xue’er, don’t lie to mom, you know I’ll always side with you."
