Chapter 55 Birth
Chapter 55 Birth
After Gu Jia's 30th birthday party, her family flew to the capital to visit Mrs. Yu's amusement park. They planned to stay in the capital for a few more days as a second birthday gift for Gu Jia. Xu Huanshan went to work, unaware that Lin Youyou was the one accompanying him.
Under Xiao Chen's guidance, Wang Manni successfully joined Aila Company. Aila Company, similar to Misia, was also a mid-range luxury brand. After being fired, Wang Manni went for another interview, but Aila Company was unwilling to hire her, so she reluctantly went to the fireworks company. Thus, Wang Manni began her life as a saleswoman again.
…………
Wang Wenwen's due date is approaching. Chen Yu has already booked a VIP ward, and they'll move in with Wang Wenwen when the time is right. Wang Wenwen's parents have also come to Shanghai with Chen Yu's parents and are temporarily staying in a villa that has been planned for them. Chen Yu also owns three other villas nearby.
When Chen Yu first bought a house, it was when he first arrived in Shanghai. At that time, he only bought two houses and had not yet established a relationship with either of his two wives. Chen Yu never expected things to develop this way.
Now, to buy these four houses, Chen Yu has also taken out the Bitcoin he had been hoarding for a long time. The price increase of Bitcoin has not been so exaggerated anymore, so he can cash it out. The houses have already been bought; all four villas are consecutive numbers, but they are all detached houses. With a large influx of cash, Chen Yu's house purchase was a breeze.
Wang Wenwen's parents vaguely knew about Zhong Xiaoqin's existence, but they were never in Shanghai and didn't know Chen Yu's current situation, only that he was very rich. And among all the wealthy people around them, there wasn't just one; it was as if having only one would be a laughingstock. They had never asked about it, but they had seen the marriage certificate, and it was unlikely that it was faked to deceive them.
The next day, Wang Wenwen's parents arrived early and saw Wang Wenwen and Zhong Xiaoqin chatting and laughing, holding hands and taking a walk. They seemed to be getting along very well. Wang's father didn't say much, only that he shouldn't let Wang Wenwen suffer any injustice, or he wouldn't forgive her. That was the end of that matter.
Chen Yu suggested that his parents come to Shanghai to retire, using Zhong Xiaoqin's father as an example. Wang Wenwen's parents said they needed to discuss it with their son. Wang Wenwen's older brother was already married, and when they called, his wife was happy to get rid of two heavy burdens and readily agreed. However, it might be a few years later; they were still young and energetic and didn't want to hold them back. This was similar to Zhong Xiaoqin's parents, who said they would wait two years before moving in.
A week before her due date, Wang Wenwen was urged by Chen Yu to check into the hospital. Wang Wenwen's mother and Sun Suying also checked in. Zhong Xiaoqin didn't want to go to the hospital so early and wanted to stay at home for another month, so Zhong's mother temporarily stayed at Junyue Mansion to help take care of Zhong Xiaoqin. It's perfectly reasonable for a mother to take care of her daughter.
Chen Xu, who hasn't had a role in a long time, also came. He's about to become an uncle, a real uncle. Chen Xu, the chairman of the catering group, made sure to come and witness it, no matter how busy he is. Chen Xu has always felt that Chen Yu is more like a father figure to him. Although they haven't been in touch much lately, Chen Yu's authority has remained unchanged.
On the fourth day after Wang Wenwen was admitted to the hospital, just three days before her due date, her water broke, and she was quickly taken to the delivery room. Zhong Xiaoqin soon arrived as well. About an hour later, a nurse came out with a trolley carrying Wang Wenwen, who was lying on it, covered with a blanket, her face somewhat pale. A nurse then came out carrying a baby.
"Congratulations, it's a daughter, weighing six pounds and three ounces!"
"Thank you! Wenwen, how are you?" Chen Yu asked Wang Wenwen first.
Wang Wenwen was glad that Chen Yu still remembered her and didn't only care about the children. "Honey, I'm fine, just a little tired."
"Come, Mr. Chen, you hold the child."
Chen Yu carefully reached out his hands and gently took the child, as if afraid of accidentally hurting the little one. His movements were as gentle as if he were holding a rare treasure.
When he observed the child up close, he couldn't help but marvel at the wonder of life. Although the baby's skin was still a bit wrinkled, upon closer inspection, the tiny face vaguely revealed a resemblance to Chen Yu's features.
Feeling the warmth of the child in his arms and gazing at her face, Chen Yu felt a strange, indescribable emotion well up inside him, along with a powerful and mysterious force. This force seemed to originate from the special blood relationship between them, known as "inheritance." It was like an invisible bond, tightly connecting the father and daughter.
This wonderful feeling made Chen Yu want to get close to his child, to cherish and protect him, and to give him endless love and care. At this moment, he deeply felt the responsibility and mission of being a father, and the meaning of life seemed to have changed!
"Brother Xiaoyu, let me see!" Zhong Xiaoqin exclaimed excitedly, calling out the nickname again. Chen Yu was holding the child a bit high, making it inconvenient for Zhong Xiaoqin to see.
"Come and see, our family's first little angel!"
Zhong Xiaoqin looked at the not-so-pretty little cutie and smiled. He was Chen Yu's child and looked very much like him!
The faces of two angels complement each other!
"Alright, alright, let's not linger outside the delivery room. Let's go back to the ward first! Let Wenwen rest well!" Sun Suying urged Chen Yu to go back. She and Wang Wenwen's mother both wanted to hold the baby. This was their first time being grandmothers, and their seniority had suddenly increased, so their mindset was indeed a little different.
Back in the ward, Zhong Xiaoqin, having finished admiring the baby, came over to ask Wang Wenwen, "Does it hurt? Is it like in the TV dramas?"
"Don't be afraid, Xiaoqin. There will definitely be some pain, but it's not a big deal. It's all within your tolerance range," Wang Wenwen comforted Zhong Xiaoqin, telling her not to worry about prenatal anxiety.
Wang Wenwen's mother looked at her child and asked with a smile, "Have you named her yet?"
Zhong Xiaoqin answered quickly: "I came up with a lot of backup nicknames! We've been liking to eat pomelos lately, so I came up with a backup nickname, Pomelo! Little Pomelo!"
Even while lying in bed, Wang Wenwen nodded, "I also think Xiaoyouzi is great!"
Chen Yu looked at Wang Wenwen's mother and asked, "Mom, what do you think of the nickname 'Little Pomelo'?"
"I think it's pretty good too."
"Let's call it Little Pomelo then, and then we'll decide on a more formal name," Mr. Chen concluded.
At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on Chen Yu. The decision of what to name the child was up to Chen Yu.
“I want to call her Chen Xinlin. Xinxinxiangrong means optimism, cheerfulness and beautiful expectations. Lin means beautiful jade. Wang with a dot is also a homonym for Yu. It combines the characteristics of my name and Wenwen’s name. Chen Xinlin, what do you think?” Chen Yu asked everyone with a smile.
"It sounds beautiful and has a wonderful vision, I think it's a good idea!" Wang Wenwen's father was the first to agree. And everyone else also agreed.
Chen Yu looked at Wang Wenwen, and Wang Wenwen looked at Chen Yu, "We've chosen so many times already, let's go with Xinlin!"
As for the Five Elements and such, Chen Yu neither believed in them nor not. Believing was a sign of respect, while not believing stemmed mainly from distrust of those so-called masters. He simply stopped asking and just named her Chen Xinlin!
