Mo Beihan was upset. “He’s so small; what does he know? Yao Yao suffered so much in childbirth; she has to recuperate properly. Yao Yao can’t even sleep properly with that brat here. How is she supposed to recover? You had better take him away!”
Grandma Mo said angrily, “What kind of talk is that? A newborn baby will definitely want his mother!”
“He’s so small he doesn’t recognize anyone!”
“Young children are very sensitive to their mother’s smell. They will cry the moment they’re separated.”
Mo Beihan was fuming. He ground his teeth and said, “Why isn’t he sensitive to his father’s smell?”
Grandma Mo glared at him. “You didn’t give birth to him. Why should he be attuned to you?”
Mo Beihan: “..”
He could find no way to refute her.
‘Taking care of a baby was indeed a tiring affair. As a first-time mother, Gu Qingyao was very attentive towards her child. In her previous life, she had very much wanted to have a child with Mo Beihan. She was really happy now that her wish had finally come true!
So she was very attentive towards the baby!
Since the child refused to be separated from his mother, Gu Qingyao brought him everywhere. Anyway, there were plenty of servants, and she did not have to do anything besides keep the baby company.
The child grew daily and ate well. He changed almost daily, which excited Gu Qingyao greatly.
Mo Beihan was rather resentful. He sensed that he had fallen out of favor!
His wife had not paid any attention to him ever since that brat was born.
Ji Mingyue gave birth before Gu Qingyao finished her confinement.
She gave birth to twin boys.
‘When Gu Jinhang found out, he was dumbfounded!
‘When Ji Mingyue woke up after delivery and saw Gu Jinhang standing next to her, she immediately asked, “Where’s the baby? Is it at a boy or a girl?”
Gu Jinhang was beaming from ear to ear. “Boy! Also, we have twins!”
Ji Mingyue was startled, then her eyes widened with delight. ‘Really? Then… then is the other one a girl?”
Gu Jinhang’s smile faltered. “They are both boys. Twin boys!”
Ji Mingyue: …
After a long, shocked moment, Ji Mingyue said in disbelief, “Surely not? I had two children and both are boys?”
Her oldest cousin-in-law, Li Qingdan, smiled, “The Gu family genes are strong, and they tend to have boys. Twins run in the family. It’s not surprising you had twin boys.”
The male gene was particularly strong in the Gu family, and twins ran in the family. Ji Mingyue had a pair of twin boys. Li Qingdan had been luckier – she had a boy and a girl.
Now her daughter was the only girl among the Gu family’s great-grandchildren!
Ji Mingyue was utterly disappointed. “Oh, oh, oh, not even a daughter.”
By the time Ji Mingyue was discharged from the hospital, Gu Qingyao was almost done with her confinement. She wanted to bring her child to the Gu house for a visit, but Mo Beihan forbade her.
“No way. You haven’t finished your confinement! Wait a while.”
Gu Qingyao was going crazy with boredom at home. “Let me out for a change of air. I’ve been here for almost a month. My confinement is over! I want to go out.”
“No!” Mo Beihan refused. “Childbirth damages a woman’s health too much. You had better do a fifty-day confinement and make sure you regain your health completely.”
“Fifty days??”
Gu Qingyao was stunned!
Fifty days. She would die!
“Please, no! Brother Beihan, husband, darling, please let me off! Fifty days is too terrible!”
Mo Beihan said, “If you really can’t stand it, then forty-five days will do. Be good and do your confinement. It’s only once in your lifetime. You just have to bear with it for a few more days. If you end up with any chronic ailments, you’ll regret it in the future. I won’t go anywhere. I’ll just stay at home and keep
you company.”
Gu Qingyao wanted to cry!
She was a doctor herself. Of course, she was aware of her own health. She was usually in such good health; she was obviously not so delicate!
She wanted to go out. She wanted to go shopping.. She wanted to go to a restaurant and eat seafood!
