After Jasmine was bathed and dressed, Fu Hua carried her in his arms. He was so happy holding his daughter.
The little girl stared at him with curiosity and licked her tongue often. She yawned at times and moved her little fingers to her mouth to lick them.
"Don't tell me she's hungry." Fu Hua said as he glanced at Jia Li who was drinking soup while sitting on the couch in the bedroom.
"She is but I have to finish eating first. You have to go to your bedroom tonight." Jia Li said to him.
"Why?" Fu Hua asked.
"You haven't slept properly for a few days now, you need some sleep. If you spend the night in the same room with us, I guarantee you that you won't sleep a wink." Jia Li said with a smile.
"I don't mind. I just want to stay in the same space as you and my princess." Fu Hua said to her with a satisfied smile.
Jia Li did not talk to him anymore. She just kept quiet and continued to drink her pork vinegar soup and eat a few side dishes that were served to her. She was preserving her energy for Jasmine at night and didn't want to explain to him about the sleepless nights he would go through if he insisted on spending the night with them.
Jia Li finished eating quickly before she carried Jasmine to breastfeed her. A few minutes later, Jasmine's eyes were closed but that didn't stop her from sucking.
When Fu Hua returned from his bedroom as he went to wash up and change into his nightwear, Jasmine was still sucking. He wasn't surprised at all as Jasmine's feeding habit can be understood. Sometimes she would suck for a long time before letting go.
"I need to use the bathroom." Jia Li said in a soft tone as slowly pulled her nipple out from Jasmine's mouth.
Fu Hua walked over and took the little girl in his arms and sat on the couch as he had to make her burp, while Jia Li went for a bathroom break.
While Jia Li was away, Housekeeper Zu knocked softly and came in with two thermal flasks, one for hot water and the other for food. She brought a midnight soup and sacks for Jia Li, as it was normal for a breastfeeding mother to get hungry in the middle of the night.
Housekeeper Zu was quiet as she bowed to Fu Hua and put down the flasks on the table, before going over to make the baby's bed.
When Jia Li returned, she was already done making Jasmine's bed.
"Madam, this is your water and your midnight snacks." Housekeeper Zu said to her with a smile while pointing at the flasks on the table.
"Thank you!" Jia Li replied with a smile.
Housekeeper Zu smiled and bid them goodnight before leaving.
"Is she sleeping?" Jia Li asked with a smiling gaze.
"I think so. She is still licking her lips and moving her fingers." Fu Hua replied in a hushed tone. He was scared of talking in his normal tone so as not to wake his little princess.
"I think I will feed her some more, my boobs are very heavy and uncomfortable." Jia Li said as went over and took the little girl from him, before going over to sit on the special chair made just for her.
She just gave birth and sitting on a soft chair or sofa wasn't advisable.
"Do you need the breast pump? It will be helpful if I can feed her while you get some sleep in the middle of the night." Fu Hua suggested. He wanted to share his wife's discomfort with her.
"I don't trust you, you haven't fed her before, you only learned through practice during my antenatal care. I will examine you tomorrow to see if you're fit." Jia Li teased.
"What!" ? Fu Hua couldn't believe Jia Li. What was she saying about not being fit to feed his little princess.
"Don't mind me, I'm joking. But honestly, I will pass for this night. I feel that it's not right to bottle feed her yet, I feel so close to her when feeding her this way." Jia Li said with a sigh.
"When you start working, you will have no choice." Fu Hua reminded her.
"I know, so I'm going to enjoy every moment till that time." Jia Li replied.
"That's fine. You have one month confinement period and during this time, it's too bad that I can't touch you." Fu Hua teased.
"Are you thinking of bedding me right now?" Jia Li asked with a chuckle.
"Why not? It's not wrong." Fu Hua replied.
"You're so shameless, don't let Jasmine hear your shameless words." Jia Li warned.
"I don't mind. It's not a bad thing that I want to bed her mama, it shows that I love you." Fu Hua said.
"Seriously, I can't communicate with you." Jia Li said, giving up on arguing with him.
"My assistant, Zimo will bring my work to the house for this period I have to stay at home." Fu Hua announced as he changed the subject swiftly.
"The Autumn show is next month, are you sure it's right to work from home?" Jia Li asked with an inquisitive gaze.
"It's totally fine. I will go to the office only if it's necessary. I want to spend my time with the two ladies in my life." Fu Hua replied happily.
Jia Li smiled as she appreciated his love and care.
Jia Li and Fu Hua chatted about FJ's Autumn show, while Jasmine sucked till she let go of her mother's breast.
After Fu Hua laid Jasmine in her cot that was beside Jia Li's bed, he helped Jia Li to get into bed before joining her.
"Does FJ have plans for the model that will wear the iconic piece for this season?" Jia Li asked curiously.
Fu Hua's ex-girlfriend Feng Alix was a Top model that FJ signed to model important pieces but since the contract was broken and she was banned, FJ has not made a replacement and now Jia Li was curious about it.
