He dared not imagine what would have happened if the people had arrived a moment later. He didn't know what he would have done if something had really happened to Bai Le and the child in her womb.
Li Jing couldn't have done this alone; Xi Defeng was most likely involved and covered for him, otherwise his people wouldn't have been unaware of it.
Xi Yan's lips curled slightly upward, but his eyes were icy cold. Anyone who knew him well would know that he was truly angry when they saw this expression.
If Bai Le had seen it, he probably would have noticed, but he was completely absorbed in his phone.
Xi Yan frowned slightly. "You just woke up, don't play on your phone."
Bai Le raised his phone. "I'm looking at children's clothes."
Xi Yan said, "Haven't we already bought it?"
Bai Le wagged his finger and said seriously, "Not enough, I've already bought a six-year-old."
Seeing this, Xi Yan couldn't help but chuckle. When he realized that the corners of his mouth were turning up so easily, he was slightly taken aback. He didn't even know when the smile on his face had become so frequent.
"You rest for now. If you feel unwell, just press the call button and a doctor will come. This floor is very quiet; no one will disturb you."
After he finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then added, "If you want to talk to me, give me a call."
Bai Le asked him, "Where are you going?"
Xi Yan patted his head. "Good boy, go take care of something."
Bai Le nodded and watched him leave.
He could roughly guess what Xi Yan was going to do, and he wouldn't stop him, because he himself also disliked Xi Yan's so-called younger brother.
Lying in bed for a long time is not an easy thing, but fortunately, Bai Le has gotten used to it. Pregnancy is indeed a very hard thing. When he thinks back on the long period of pregnancy, he feels a lot of bitter tears. He doesn't even dare to turn over in bed. Fortunately, it was all worth it. The baby was finally born safely. When he thinks of the little life in the incubator, Bai Le feels warm inside.
He eagerly awaited the day he could get out of bed, but Xi Yan kept Xi Yan. After this incident, he seemed very worried about his health and was not allowed to move around freely until he was fully recovered.
On the eve of his discharge, Bai Le was finally able to see the tiny baby, not in an incubator, but handed to him.
Looking at the tiny baby in her arms, with fair and tender skin, a head of jet-black and shiny hair, long and thick eyelashes, and slightly parted lips, the baby was sleeping peacefully, completely unaware that she was being observed.
"You're not lying to me. You're really not ugly." Bai Le smiled and looked at Xi Yan.
"You silly child," Wu Xueying scolded playfully, "You really never grow up. You looked like a monkey when you were born, how could you be ugly?"
Bai Le didn't believe it. "Didn't you say I was born very beautiful?"
"Really? I don't remember. Maybe I was just kidding."
Bai Le, unconvinced, held the baby in his arms, determined to regain his pride. "See? Isn't this an exception?"
Wu Xueying said matter-of-factly, "Of course my grandson is different from others."
Bai Le choked, unsure how to respond for a moment.
"Let Grandma hug me."
Wu Xueying took the child from her arms again, her movements very gentle. Bai Le was a little reluctant, but he still handed the child over to her.
"My baby, grow up quickly. When you grow up, Grandma will buy you whatever you want. Even if you want the stars in the sky, Grandma will find a way to get them for you."
Bai Huizhang, who hadn't been able to get a word in edgewise, finally seized the opportunity to snort and argue with her, "Alright, that's enough. You can't spoil the child."
Wu Xueying sneered and said disdainfully, "Who doesn't know that you old hag also want to hold a child? What? Are you jealous that I can hold a grandson? I'm happy to spoil my grandson."
Bai Huizhang's eyes widened, and he flew into a rage. Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Bai Le quickly changed the subject. "Why didn't Xiao Yin come?"
Chen Suqiu's absence was expected, and he didn't care, but Bai Yin was different.
"She's still in S City; something came up at school, and she can't come right away."
When Bai Le thought about her troublesome grades, she knew that the school must have kept her behind for ideological education.
After chatting for a while, seeing that Bai Le looked listless, Wu Xueying knew he was tired, so she stood up and handed the child to Xi Yan, saying, "We'll be going now, we won't disturb you any longer. Lele, you should rest well and get better."
Bai Le nodded, and after they left, he couldn't help but say to Bai Le Xi Yan, "Give me the baby, I want to see him a couple more times."
Xi Yan knew he was reluctant to part with the baby, so she carefully placed the baby in his arms.
It was a tiny, white, and tender little thing, very cute. I can't say who it looks like right now, but the more Bai Le, the more I like it.
He reached out and tickled the baby's nose. The baby seemed to feel a little ticklish and spit out a mouthful of milk bubbles.
The more Bai Le looked at him, the cuter he found him. The thought of spending countless hours playing with him in the future made him very happy.
"From now on, you are Xi Mubai." He gently pressed his forehead against the baby's and whispered, "You are our child."
Xi Yan paused, looking at Bai Le with an emotion in his eyes that was difficult for others to understand.
Because the baby's condition was stable and he was ready to be weaned off the incubator after more than two months, and because Bai Le's body had almost fully recovered, the discharge procedures were completed.
After returning to S City, Bai Le first went to Xi Yan's home. Xi Yan had already decorated the nursery. The walls were light blue, and the ceiling was a starry sky, which was very dreamy when the lights were off. The crib was made of the finest snow-white pure cotton, and there were many toy ponies on the floor. The playmat was also a soft blanket, which would allow the child to play on the floor with peace of mind. It was clearly a carefully designed room.
Bai Le carefully placed the baby in the crib. The baby seemed to feel itself sinking into something soft, and its mouth twitched as it immediately started to cry.
