The Tender Beauty is Sweetly Doted in the 20th Century Novel!-Chapter 267 - 265: My Son Is So Ugly!

"Oh dear, quickly hold the baby, it’s cold, wrap him up in more blankets!"

Liu Gaoyuan didn’t dare to hold the baby. Seeing He Chen was not in the mood to check the baby, still staring at the operating room, he hurriedly asked Zhou Jing to help hold the baby.

Liu Rulan was also staring at the operating room.

He Chen became even more anxious upon hearing the baby’s cries.

"Nurse, when can Ye Manman come out? Is she okay?"

His eyes were still red and swollen, clearly from crying too hard.

The nurse looked at him with some surprise, puzzled as to why such a big, strong man could cry like this.

She smiled and said.

"Don’t worry, the mother will be out soon, just needs some treatment and tidying up, you guys should go take care of the baby first, it’s very cold, don’t let him catch a cold."

The others were urged into the ward.

Everyone was busy around the baby, and Liu Rulan was pulled away by Yanghua. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

In the end, only He Chen was left standing at the door of the operating room.

He refused to leave, insisting on waiting for Ye Manman to come out.

The nurse didn’t say anything either, since Ye Manman was really about to be wheeled out quickly.

Her tears had dried up, her throat was hoarse, and all her strength was exhausted, but when she saw He Chen anxiously waiting at the door, holding her hand the first time, her eyes filled with tears again.

"He Chen..."

She called his name with a hoarse voice, feeling wronged yet moved.

As soon as He Chen heard this, his eyes turned red.

"Mm, I’m here, I’m here, don’t talk for now, your voice is hoarse, let’s go have some hot water to soothe your throat first."

His voice was also choked, but the toughest and scariest moment had passed, so he managed to prevent himself from crying again.

After the nurse pushed Ye Manman into the ward and explained some precautions, she left the time to this family.

The Liu Family originally gathered around the baby, busying themselves, but when they saw Ye Manman coming in, they all gathered around her bed.

"Manman, you poor child, are you hungry? Auntie will make you something to eat, is there anything you want?"

"Manman, does it hurt? Mom brought you some oranges, do you want to eat some?"

Zhou Jing and Liu Rulan each held one hand, one touching her hands and the other tenderly wiping her sweat and face.

Jiamu and Xiangsi were still growing, they originally came to stay alert, but were sent back to sleep by Liu Gaoyuan later since it was too late.

Liu Gaoyuan and Yanghua were still there.

Yanghua, having been busy all day and now staying up yawning, still expressed his concern and blessings for his niece.

He took out a thick red envelope and forced it into her hand.

"Thanks for your hard work, Manman. I don’t really know how to take care of girls, so use this to buy some things to pamper yourself, whatever makes you happy."

That was a bit too straightforward coming from a straight man.

Even Liu Gaoyuan, the old guy, found it somewhat stupid.

But he gave money, which was quite nice.

After all, Liu Gaoyuan also prepared a red envelope.

He coughed and handed Ye Manman a thick red envelope as well.

"They’ve said all the good stuff, so grandpa won’t say more. You have a kid now, life won’t be as free as before, but don’t worry, you don’t have to worry about money. Once you go back to school, grandpa will take care of the baby, just be happy and continue doing what you want."

Ye Manman, having just given birth, was in her weakest state physically and mentally fragile.

Originally, she had many worries, worrying she wouldn’t do well on her first try as a mom.

But now, surrounded by her family, listening to their words, she was overwhelmed with emotion.

"Thank you, grandpa, thank you uncle and aunt, and mom."

"It’s so nice to have all of you!"

Seeing she was about to cry again, Zhou Jing smiled and pinched her hand.

"Just after having the baby, you need to start your confinement from today, don’t cry this month, or you’ll need glasses when going to school and won’t see clearly in the future."

With this said, Ye Manman immediately stopped.

"I won’t cry, don’t worry, auntie!"

She didn’t fancy being nearsighted!

Imagine the hassle of reading with glasses!

He Chen had been standing by the side, not interrupting their care expressions.

And it was at this moment, confirming Ye Manman was in a good mood and had perked up, he finally remembered he had a son.

Turning his head.

His poor son lay alone on the bed next to them, no one was holding him.

For a newborn, this treatment was a little shabby.

Very pitiful!

Inexplicably, this sentiment crossed He Chen’s mind.

Then he stepped over and looked down at his son with eyes only half open in the swaddling clothes.

So ugly!

Though he didn’t want to admit it,

His son was indeed very ugly!

He didn’t look like him, nor did he resemble Ye Manman!

Ridiculously ugly!

His face looked dirty, like there were many crumbs unwashed; his eyes seemed like double eyelids, but both eyes were only half open, giving a bit of a sneaky look.

Although newborns generally don’t appear too clean or pretty, perhaps he had too high expectations, given the constant storytelling and what not for the son, setting the bar too high.

This indeed was quite unexpected.

But even so, he cautiously reached his finger to touch the little guy’s face.

So tender!

Softer than tofu!

He Chen only tapped with his fingertip and retracted immediately, not daring to touch anymore.

This little one was really tiny, looking like a touch might hurt him.

He dared not touch anymore.

Nor did he dare to hold him.

"I want to see the baby..."

Ye Manman, teased by everyone into happiness, suddenly remembered she hadn’t seen her newborn yet.

She turned her head, curiously asking.

"He Chen, I heard I had a son? Is he good-looking? Does he look more like you or me? Quickly, bring him over for me to see."

"..."

Looking at his ugly son, He Chen hesitated to answer back.

Let alone hug him.

Luckily, Zhou Jing deciphered his expression and unease, she swiftly went over, picked up the baby, and placed him next to Ye Manman.

"You’re asking him, what does a man know, when Jiamu was newborn, your uncle also didn’t know how to hold, didn’t dare to touch, he’s probably scared too that he might not hold him well."

"Look, how good-looking this little one is, his eyes and mouth are like yours, nose like He Chen, high nose bridge, he’ll definitely grow to be a handsome young man."

Zhou Jing genuinely praised the baby.

He Chen stood next to her, expression complex, wanting to say something but stopping.

Ye Manman didn’t understand why, just like He Chen at first, she eagerly propped her arms up to look at her son.

Oh dear!

So ugly!

With just one look, the smile on Ye Manman’s face faded.

She almost said "so ugly" out loud.

Goodness, after all the hardship, this baby turned out so ugly?

Ye Manman found it hard to accept.

She suddenly understood why He Chen hadn’t replied earlier.

Given their previous home discussions on who the baby would look like and how beautiful,

The look of their son really couldn’t be spoken of!

Zhou Jing noticed her expression was not looking well and immediately figured out what she was thinking.

"Manman, he just came out, the features haven’t developed yet, can’t expect them to look that pretty."

"Don’t think too much, in a few days he will look better after growing a bit."

"Our Jiamu and Xiangsi when newborn, one looked all wrinkled, the other was skinny and hairy like a monkey, but just after a few days, they opened up and looked so cute."
