Li Qingshuo, at one meter eighty-three, holding the infant, exuded a sense of security.
He carefully cradled his son, looked at Mu Jiuchen, bit his lip, and fought back emotion before saying, "Xiao Jiu, my son is born."
Xiao Fan, standing nearby, couldn't help but interject, "Young Master Li, it's not that your son has given birth, it's that your son has been born."
Li Qingshuo was a mix of tears and laughter. The moment he heard the baby cry, tears streamed down his face uncontrollably.
This was the joy of being a father. True happiness!
Xia Xia was also doing well. Jiang Nuan had given her medicine, and Xia Xia hadn't suffered too much during childbirth.
His mother, excited, came out holding the baby and said he could hold him first.
She needed to stay and look after Xia Xia.
Xia Xia was also happy. Jiang Nuan was currently performing a uterine cleaning, and their relationship remained awkward. He had been kicked out by Jiang Nuan.
"Yes, yes, yes, Xiao Fan, you're right. I... I was just too excited."
Li Qingshuo brought the baby closer to Mu Jiuchen. Tears still glistened on his handsome face. He looked at Mu Jiuchen and said happily, "Xiao Jiu, look how much this child resembles me. I have many photos from when I was little. This little fellow looks exactly like me when I was a child."
Mu Jiuchen lowered his head to look at the child in his arms. The newborn, with a plump red face and perfectly formed features, was handsome and indeed resembled Li Qingshuo as a child.
The little one's small mouth bubbled intermittently, making little grunting sounds as if he were still hungry, utterly adorable!
Mu Jiuchen's heart melted. The corners of his lips curved into a smile involuntarily. "He really does look like you when you were little. Congratulations, Qingshuo!"
He truly hoped for Qingshuo's future happiness and smooth sailing.
"Thank you, Xiao Jiu. From now on, I'm a father too." Li Qingshuo's expression was incredibly proud, his smile never fading from his face.
Li Qingshuo lowered his gaze to Li Qingfeng, who lay on the ground. His eyes suddenly turned cold. Seeing the long saber not far away, his expression grew even colder.
Previously, he hadn't dared to leave Li Qingshuo's side for fear of her safety. Now that his son was born, he finally had time to deal with these matters.
"Xiao Jiu, are you hurt?"
Seeing Li Qingfeng's face disfigured, he knew it was Xiao Jiu's handiwork. Xiao Jiu had this personality – when she was ruthless, she was truly ruthless. Even more so, she enjoyed beating people's faces, beating them until their own parents wouldn't recognize them, and only then would she be happy.
"I'm fine. Take the child inside. Don't let him see this bloody scene." Mu Jiuchen's expression remained cold, but his tone was gentle, lest he startle the little one in Li Qingshuo's arms.
"Oh, I was kicked out by Nuannuan." The thought of Jiang Nuan's attitude made Li Qingshuo wish he could drag Yun Xia to get their marriage certificate the very next morning.
Mu Jiuchen could probably guess the reason.
He didn't speak but looked at Xiao Fan and said, "Deal with this person."
Upon hearing this, Li Qingfeng chuckled. He looked at the blissfully happy Li Qingshuo, a hint of envy flashing in his eyes.
Bodyguards stepped forward and dragged Li Qingfeng away. Xiao Fan, with the surveillance footage, directly sent Li Qingfeng and his men to the police station.
He also informed the police to prevent him from committing suicide.
Seeing how things had unfolded, Li Qingfeng, who had always cherished his life, felt like he didn't want to live anymore. Such despair must have led to such thoughts. This matter could not be simply brushed aside as Li Qingfeng's death. Li Qingfeng, though perhaps pitiable, deserved his fate.
Tang Keke waited downstairs, hoping to see Li Qingfeng return victorious, only to see him covered in blood and being put into a police car.
Tang Keke gritted her teeth, watching Li Qingfeng being taken away. Her heart was a mess, and she hadn't achieved her goals.
Yun Xia's child had been born, and she still hadn't gotten Li Qingshuo.
What's more, she had been insulted by that bastard Li Qingfeng.
Thinking about it made her feel miserable, pained, and humiliated!
Although she also enjoyed playing, she had never experienced such humiliation.
Tang Keke sat for several hours until her legs were numb with cold. She could only leave the hospital reluctantly, contemplating other methods. There were many capable people on their ship, and they would surely think of a way.
They were all people who would stop at nothing for profit.
However, Li Qingshuo was too difficult to deal with. Even without his presence, the company ran smoothly. On their side, they had only managed to secure a few small collaborations with Li Qingshuo, yielding a profit of a few million a year. Compared to Li Qingshuo's annual profit of hundreds of millions, it was merely a drop in the bucket.
Tang Keke's greatest envy was Yun Xia's rise to prominence through her child. She had originally thought of using this strategy herself, which was why she followed Li Qingshuo to Modu. However, after that trip to Modu, everything was ruined.
Yun Xia had a smooth delivery and was discharged from the hospital after four days. Yun Qing was also very healthy.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen jointly brought the children back. The brother and sister went directly to Li Qingshuo's house to look after the newborn Li Yunqing.
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen could only pick up the children in the evenings and bring them back the next morning.
When Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen arrived with the children, they saw Li Qingshuo sitting on the sofa, looking exhausted. His legs were stretched out, his head leaned back against the sofa, and he was drowsy.
Jiang Nuan immediately understood what was happening.
Li Qingshuo must not have slept well last night.
"Uncle Li, where's the little brother?" Jiang Yuoku, upon arriving, immediately wanted to see his little brother, whom he adored.
Every day, he wished he could hold his little brother without letting go.
Jiang Siyun would hold the milk bottle and feed the child. Although he didn't drink much, she happily continued to feed him.
Li Qingshuo was awakened by his voice. He looked at the brother and sister, his face haggard. He waved his hand, looking helpless.
"He's still sleeping. This little guy is really something. He sleeps all day and then doesn't sleep at night. Even when he wants to sleep, he needs me to hold him. If I put him down, he cries. And it's not just sleeping, he needs me to carry him around for him to sleep. I held him all night, and now I have no energy."
After speaking, Li Qingshuo lay down on the sofa.
Jiang Nuan looked at him, thinking he deserved it, but couldn't resist teasing him. "You brought this upon yourself. I told you before, and Auntie said it too, you can't hold the baby all the time. Don't underestimate him, even though he's only a few days old, he's very smart."
Hearing Jiang Nuan praise his son's intelligence, Li Qingshuo felt all his fatigue disappear.
"Nuannuan, I regret not listening to you now." Li Qingshuo rubbed his tired brow. It was a happy exhaustion, and he had no complaints.
This place, formerly just where he lived.
Now, with his child, the woman he loved, and his mother, he finally had a home.
"Oh, so lively." He Mingrun's voice came from the doorway.
He was carrying many gifts. He had gone abroad, and upon his return, Li Qingshuo's son had been born.
"Mingrun, you're here. Come and sit." Jiang Qin, who had just come out of the kitchen with Yun Xia's breakfast, saw He Mingrun as soon as she emerged.
"Good morning, Auntie!" He Mingrun greeted with a smile, handing the gifts to a servant.
After everyone greeted each other, they sat down to chat.
