Shen Xiaoyan also smiled and nodded, but as she watched, she started to feel a bit sleepy. Seeing that she was getting tired, Zheng Wei reached out and gently stroked her head, saying in a soft tone, "Get some sleep. When you wake up, Mom and Dad will bring the baby to you!"
...
Old Mr. Zheng finished handling the procedures, and then the couple, accompanied by a nurse, brought the baby in. A small crib was placed next to the large bed. The nurse carefully placed the little daughter of the Zheng family into it, nodded to the people present, and then left.
"Awei, come and see the baby, come and see your daughter!" Old Mr. Zheng and Ms. Lv's lips were constantly curved upwards. They were smiling as if their faces were cramping, but this did not dampen their joy.
"Mom, can you look after Xiaoyan for a while? She's too tired." Zheng Wei pointed to Shen Xiaoyan on the bed. After seeing Ms. Lv come over to care for her, he and Old Mr. Zheng huddled in front of the crib.
The baby looked a bit wrinkly. She was very well-behaved, sleeping with her eyes closed, her tiny fists clenched.
"Dad, is our baby's appearance considered good-looking or not good-looking among newborns?" Zheng Wei softly asked Old Mr. Zheng.
Old Mr. Zheng glanced at Zheng Wei. Just as he was about to speak, Zheng Wei interrupted him, "Dad, your answer must be objective!"
Old Mr. Zheng looked at Zheng Wei again. "Alright, speaking very objectively, our baby looks very beautiful like this. When you were born, everyone in the hospital praised how good-looking you were, but now, the baby is even better-looking than you."
Zheng Wei reached out and fumbled with the small bed, sighing with emotion, "Wow, then I was more amazing than you, because my child is this beautiful!"
Old Mr. Zheng wasn't angry this time. The man who looked so serious was now incredibly happy. Hearing Zheng Wei's words, he just sneered, "Our Zheng family's children are naturally good-looking. Have you thought of a name for the baby?"
"Not yet. I'm not satisfied with any of them." Zheng Wei felt that no name was sufficient to complement his daughter's cuteness.
He didn't have the nerve to tell Old Mr. Zheng that he had come up with countless names behind his back, but none were satisfactory.
"Should the baby's nickname be 'Bao Bei'? As for the given name, how about Zheng Ping An? This means that your admiration and feelings for her mommy will last forever. What do you think?" Old Mr. Zheng said casually, but Zheng Wei couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. "Dad, you must have put a lot of effort into this, haven't you? Did you spend all your time flipping through dictionaries, except for eating and sleeping?"
Old Mr. Zheng did not directly answer the question and instead asked, "What do you think?"
"It sounds very good. How could I not have thought of the name 'Bao Bei'? I'm quite satisfied for now. I'll ask Xiaoyan when she wakes up." Zheng Wei looked at the tiny baby in the crib, his heart melting.
"Ah, can we come in?" A slight commotion came from outside. Na Muzhong, Lu Taobao, and Lin Xin stood outside, peering inside. They immediately saw Zheng Wei's face, filled with the tender gaze of a doting father.
"Please come in quickly. Xiaoyan is tired and sleeping. The baby is here," Ms. Lv said with a very good mood, ushering them in.
The three placed the large bags and several bouquets of flowers they had brought aside, then gathered around Zheng Wei. Old Mr. Zheng took the opportunity to offer seats and went to find vases for the flowers.
As the three of them approached, the baby's small hand was tightly gripping Zheng Wei's finger. Seeing this scene, Lu Taobao's heart melted into a puddle.
"This is my daughter, tentatively named 'Bao Bei'," Zheng Wei introduced them with immense pride.
"Wow, she's plump and fair, not wrinkly like newborns are usually described in books?" Na Muzhong also leaned over, looking at the baby curiously. This child seemed a little too beautiful.
"Xiaoyan and I have such good genes, how could we have an ugly child?" Zheng Wei's lips were almost twitching from smiling.
Lin Xin piteously squatted to the side, despairingly plunking down on the floor. His brow furrowed deeply. "What am I going to do? It's all because of you. My mom told me to go on a blind date tomorrow."
Lu Taobao suddenly chimed in, "A blind date is fine, that way you can settle down sooner."
"No way! Why can you all find true love, and I can't?" Lin Xin was unwilling to comply with his family's arrangements.
"Lu and I didn't have as many girlfriends as you do!" Zheng Wei retorted, blocking him.
When Shen Xiaoyan woke up, the three grown men were still gathered around the small crib. Although their voices were a bit loud, the baby slept soundly, completely undisturbed.
"Xiaoyan, your father named the child. Her nickname is 'Bao Bei' and her given name is Zheng Ping An. What do you think? If you don't like it, we'll change it. I'm telling you, your father's study has several sheets of paper filled with names." As soon as Shen Xiaoyan woke up, Ms. Lv started feeding her and casually mentioned the baby's name.
Shen Xiaoyan nodded when she heard the name 'Bao Bei'.
The name suited the little one well. After all, even before she was born, her elders doted on her as if she were their own eyes.
"Ah, your father has finally done something good," Ms. Lv teased. Shen Xiaoyan wanted to drink the soup herself, but Ms. Lv shook her head. "You just gave birth, you need to rest well. Aunt Na will be here soon. We'll take care of the baby for you, so you can rest assured."
"Madam President, the baby is truly lovely. This seems to be the first time I've seen such a beautiful child," Na Muzhong said in agreement as she pushed the door open.
Old Mr. Zheng sat on a chair outside, reading a newspaper, but the corners of his lips were always turned up, and his eyes occasionally glanced at his phone.
...
Just as the whole family was happily celebrating the birth of their little daughter, at this very moment, in the most famous private hospital in the capital.
Reporters had been stationed there for several days. While they were diligently watching everyone, news had already spread online: The Zheng Group's beloved little daughter had been born!
The group of reporters: "?"
What kind of operation was this? They hadn't even seen anyone, yet the baby was already born?
"Where was she born? How did we not hear any news? Weren't they supposed to give birth at this hospital? Many big-name celebrities give birth here!"
"It seems to be at Tongji Hospital. I saw someone say they saw many unfamiliar people at Tongji Hospital. This must be proof. Such important figures must have come to see the Zheng family's little daughter."
"We were hoping to get a news scoop for the economic headlines, but instead... We've been waiting for nothing, and I've been bitten to death by mosquitoes."
...
As rumors spread all over the internet, Lin Xin personally confirmed the news on Weibo: "The little daughter is born, the most adorable child I've ever seen."
Lin Xin's Weibo post was quickly reposted by major bloggers. Several celebrities who had previously endorsed the Zheng family also started forwarding it, and finally, the official Weibo account of Zheng Group officially stamped the accuracy of this news.
