From the moment Xie Lingzhi and Shen Qing arrived, they were already keeping an eye on her. Both found her an eyesore, and ever since the child was carried out, they had been continuously watching, afraid that Xie Lingzhi might do something out of spite.

They only breathed a sigh of relief when Lin Wan entered the ward, and Xie Lingzhi was kept outside.

"Haha, look at this little baby, so fair and tender, just like Han Yi when he was a child," Shen Qing said with a laugh as she held the baby.

"Haha, looks like me, like me," Mei Shuping said happily, unexpectedly not noticing the occasion, causing an awkward moment. Everyone in the room suddenly fell silent.

Mei Shuping realized he had misspoken and laughed awkwardly, adding a comment.

Outside, Xie Lingzhi heard the words from Mei Shuping and Shen Qing, and her face turned green immediately. Just as she was about to storm in, Mei Shuping opened the door, came out, and hurriedly embraced her, pulling her away in fear that she would go inside and cause a commotion.

Xie Lingzhi, seeing his actions, snorted with a cold face but didn’t argue with him.

Lin Wan had a fairly smooth delivery this time, taking only about two to three hours. Both the mother and child were fine.

Lin Wan fell asleep as soon as she got back to the ward, and when she woke up, it was already past ten in the morning.

Lin Wan was awakened by the baby’s cries, and saw her mom and mother-in-law awkwardly holding the baby.

"Xiao Wan, you’re awake. Come and look at Han Xingyang, let Xiao Wan hold him. The baby is crying so hard, refusing both water and milk." Upon seeing her daughter awake, Liang Hongmei quickly helped her sit up and carefully placed the baby in her arms.

Lin Wan smiled as she looked at the baby’s rosy little face, which indeed resembled Little Star when he was just born.

"Wow... see, the baby stopped crying the moment he got into Xiao Wan’s arms," Shen Qing said as she hurriedly brought the freshly prepared milk to the baby’s mouth.

Lin Wan supported the milk cup and watched Little Yangyang have a good appetite, "Mom, look at him, so adorable, just like Little Star."

"Yes, even chubbier and more energetic than Little Star," Shen Qing said, touching the baby’s cheek and looking at Little Xingyang.

"Xiao Wan, if you’re uncomfortable after waking up, just let us know."

"Mom, I feel quite good, nothing serious." 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

"Even so, you still need to replenish. Your godmother made some pigeon soup for you this morning; it’s just right to drink now. Have some more later. The doctor said if we take good care, we can leave the hospital tomorrow."

"Hmm, hmm. Still, it’s better at home, much more convenient," Lin Wan thought about Han Yi and wondered when he could return.

"It’s more convenient to wash diapers and cook at home. But this morning, I asked your godmother to call Han Yi, and hearing you had given birth, he was eager to come back. Luckily, your godfather calmed him down. However, Han Yi said he could return the day after tomorrow, just in time for the baby’s third-day ceremony."

"Mom, Ai Yi will take two more days, huh?" Lin Wan said anxiously, causing the two mothers to chuckle helplessly.

"Don’t worry, your father-in-law said he’ll send a special car to pick us up tomorrow, so no need to worry," Liang Hongmei reassured her with a smile.

Blushing from their teasing, she quietly drank her pigeon soup, keeping her head down while glancing at Little Xingyang lying beside her after feeding.

Lin Wan stayed here overnight, and the next afternoon, Mei Shuping wanted to personally drive over to pick them up, but given Xie Lingzhi’s strict watch over the past few days, he wasn’t allowed to come, so he sent an attendant instead.

Lin Wan and Liang Hongmei didn’t mind; with Xie Lingzhi keeping a tight watch, there was no way for Mei Shuping to come over.

However, when it came time to leave the hospital, there was a little mishap with the baby’s name. Originally, his mother was supposed to write the name down, but because both moms were so focused on Lin Wan and the baby, they didn’t notice how the attendant had gone ahead to handle the birth certificate.

By the time Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing realized, they quickly rushed over, but it was almost too late—the nurse in charge almost penned down the name.

Liang Hongmei and Shen Qing, seeing this, scolded the attendant harshly. Back home, Shen Qing called, already intending to give Mei Shuping a piece of her mind.

Unexpectedly, Xie Lingzhi answered the call.

"Nonsense, Han Yi’s son has no reason to carry our Mei family’s name."

"Didn’t you hear what I said, or are you deaf? Your Mei family has always been up to those despicable acts. Who do you think you are? Do you fancy your surname as prestigious somehow? I’m putting it plain today: My son, grandson, and even all future Han Yi’s descendants will never care for the Mei family name."

"It’s just as well, because I would never allow your descendants to carry the Mei family name, even if I die."

"I also want to say today, stop saying one thing and doing another behind closed doors. The Han family name is not inferior to the Mei family. If you trace back three generations, your Mei family still can’t compare to our Han family in prestige. It seems you’ve been shut away in that grand house for so long you’ve become clueless. Maybe pick up a book occasionally."

"You... who are you calling clueless?"

"You, of course, who else when speaking to me over the phone? Don’t even know who’s being talked about, who else could it be? Calling you clueless isn’t wrong at all."

.....

"How’s it going? It’s been so long. Find a chance to bring the child out," Mr. Li Liang secretly asked Li Liang’s mother at the market.

Li Liang’s mother, afraid of being seen, cautiously glanced around and then whispered, "I’ve just gained the trust of those two old folks. In recent days, their daughter-in-law has been fussing about wanting to move out, so she’s home every day. I haven’t had a chance to bring the child out. Plus, that old man has been so ill that he can barely speak coherently. The old lady won’t leave his side because she’s so worried. I’ll seize an opportunity in the coming days to bring the child out, preferably on a Sunday. Once you’re ready, I’ll take the child out, and we’ll leave immediately. My dear, by just taking the child away like this, won’t they think we’re kidnappers?"
