"What do you mean, 'what'?"
Bai Le quickly tried to break free from his embrace, "I'm tired, I want to sleep!"
Xi Yan his flustered appearance, Xi Yan's dark eyes revealed a hint of a smile.
"Perfect timing, I'm also thinking of sleeping."
It took Bai Le several seconds to react before he threw a pillow at him, saying, "I didn't mean that kind of sleeping!"
Xi Yan her head slightly, easily dodging the pillow that was coming at her, and then slowly leaned over to cover him.
Memories of that night flooded back, and Bai Le suddenly felt a soreness in his lower back, quickly saying, "Wait a minute, wait a minute."
Seeing that Xi Yan had stopped moving, Bai Le quickly came up with a plan and said, "What if Mu Mu starts crying later?"
Xi Yan smiled slightly and kissed the corner of his lips. "I already checked on him before going back to my room, and he's sleeping soundly now."
Bai Le was pinned down and unable to move, her face flushed, and she murmured softly, "Then be gentle, I'm afraid of pain."
Last time it really hurt him terribly, but this Xi Yan was clearly much more patient.
"It won't hurt."
Bai Le closed his eyes tremblingly, and heard the rustling sound of clothes being undone. Just as he was mentally preparing himself, he suddenly heard a piercing cry of a baby.
Bai Le quickly pushed Xi Yan and sat up, hurriedly putting on his clothes. "Mu Mu is crying, I'm going to go see her."
The door slammed shut, leaving Xi Yan sitting on the bed.
He looked down at his empty hand, his face expressionless. Fine, he'd settle these scores later when the kid was older and could talk.
Because Bai Le gave birth to a boy, Mu Mu Old Master Xi. Bai Le scoffed at this, saying that to him, boys and girls were both his precious little brats, the only difference being that he dared to beat one but couldn't bear to.
Because Mu Mu was premature, although his physical condition was normal and his weight was gradually approaching that of normal babies, Bai Le still kept a close eye on him, always afraid that something might happen to him.
The child is still young and his personality is not yet apparent. He sleeps most of the time, and when he wakes up, he likes to giggle and wave his chubby little hands in the air. Bai Le loves to pinch his rosy cheeks at this time. Mu Mu seems to really enjoy having his cheeks pinched, and his giggles become even louder then.
When he was six or seven months old, Bai Le didn't keep him in the crib often; he would mostly hold him and play with him on the lawn outside.
As time went on, Mu Mu didn't want to sleep all day like she did when she was first born; she was awake more and more often.
When he turned one year old, Old Master Xi decided to throw a grand first birthday banquet for his precious great-grandson.
In the hotel lounge, Bai Le looked at Mu Mu, who was wearing a light blue jumpsuit. Bai Le.
"Kids really change every day." Bai Yin picked up Mu Mu and kissed his left cheek. "Look how beautiful our Mu Mu is."
Mu Mu couldn't understand what she was saying, but she knew it was someone she knew, so she stopped crying and just giggled.
"Give Auntie a kiss." Bai Yin's heart melted when she saw his smile.
"You're such a cheerful child." Wu Hua watched curiously from the side, reaching out to touch Mu Mu's face, but Bai Yin slapped his hand away.
"Children's skin is delicate, especially our Mu Mu's. Your hands are so rough, what if you hurt her?"
Wu Hua chuckled sheepishly.
"How is it? Looks good, right?" Bai Le patted his chest with a proud expression. "She looks more like me."
Wu Hua looked left and right at the little one in his arms, a puzzled expression on his face. "But why do I feel like it looks a bit like...?"
Before he could finish speaking, seeing Bai Le glaring at him, he immediately swallowed his words, "Looks like you, looks like you. Look at it this closely, it really does look like you."
Bai Le looked at Mu Mu, who was grinning happily. Mu Mu's eyes were pure black, clear and bright, with long and thick eyelashes and a rosy face. When he saw his father looking at him, he smiled even more happily and reached out for a hug.
"It seems the baby is quite receptive to people." Bai Yin handed Mu Mu to him.
"Yes, it's okay during the day, but at night she only wants me to hold her." Bai Le felt a headache coming on just thinking about it.
I remember one night Mu Mu suddenly started crying. The two of them were in a panic, and even Xi Yan lost his usual composure and called Xing, an experienced Secretary Xing with three children.
Bai Le tried everything – singing to him, feeding him milk – but nothing worked. He was at his wits' end. Finally, Secretary Xing gave him a clue: maybe he wet his pants.
Finally Xi Yan changed the diaper, and sure enough, Mu Mu stopped crying after the new one was put on.
The two finally breathed a sigh of relief after struggling until midnight.
However, now, when Bai Le recalls Xi Yan returning from the company, dressed in a suit, changing Mu Mu's diaper with a serious expression, as if he were doing something of great importance, he can't help but chuckle at the memory.
Of the Xi Family, only Xi Defeng was absent from the banquet. It is said that he made a mistake that angered Old Master Xi, who then took back control of the company. Now, the Xi Family can be said to be completely controlled by Xi Yan.
During the baby's first birthday celebration, Bai Le was actually a little nervous. Although he knew that the chances of what he picked up being the same as his future were slim, he still had some expectations.
He felt that his son was mostly quiet, and he seemed to have an artistic talent. He just needed to focus on books and such. Xi Yan, of course, hoped that he could inherit the Xi Family and groom him as the next head of the family.
When the baby's first birthday celebration began, everyone held their breath. Mu Mu touched this and that, seemingly curious. He picked up the stethoscope, shook it, and then put it down.
"Books, books, books," Bai Le muttered softly.
