Because She's My Baby

Lin Yi looked at Su Wanqing in confusion and asked, "Are you worried about the two little ones?"

"Mm."

Su Wanqing nodded. She remembered that when Yuanyuan had just been born, he had wailed when he got his vaccination. A nurse who had been with her had told her about it.

She had heard that it took a full half day of comforting the little guy before he finally settled down.

It had only been a little over a month since then. Su Wanqing worried that the little guy was afraid of pain, and her heart ached for him.

Seeing Su Wanqing's tightly furrowed brow, Lin Yi reassured her. "Honey, they have to get vaccinated."

"And I believe Tangtang and Yuanyuan are strong kids, even if they'll still cry."

"Pfft~ Honey, aren't you contradicting yourself?"

"Even if I say so, the babies might still make a liar out of me!"

Lin Yi grinned. With his reassurance, Su Wanqing felt much better too.

"Pfft~"

"Pfft, pfft~"

Suddenly, two loud sounds came from what seemed to be the stroller.

As the boy, Yuanyuan became the prime suspect.

Su Wanqing frowned and asked, pretending to be angry.

"Little rascal, was that you farting~?"

"Toot~"

No sooner had she spoken than another fart sounded. It turned out to be Tangtang...

"Honey, Tangtang keeps farting. Did she catch a chill?"

Su Wanqing asked worriedly, her delicate hand reaching out of its own accord to feel Tangtang's little tummy.

She was already anxious about the baby, and now that she had felt her tummy, she couldn't help feeling something was wrong.

Sure enough, a hint of worry had appeared in Su Wanqing's beautiful eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Yi frowned slightly and felt Tangtang's tummy himself, but he didn't notice anything wrong.

"Don't worry, you're overthinking it."

"Maybe a draft got to her. We'll just be more careful when we open the windows from now on."

Hearing Lin Yi say that, Su Wanqing felt much more at ease, but she still wanted to give Tangtang a little massage.

So, when Su Wanqing's delicate hand gently brushed over Tangtang's little belly, the little one actually giggled.

"Hee hee hee~~~"

Laughter as clear as a tinkling bell rang out. The little one giggled, even arching her body slightly.

Her two little hands reached out eagerly, as though she wanted to touch Mommy's face~

"Good girl, Tangtang. Mommy will rub your tummy, and then you won't fart anymore."

"Ah-ya~"

Watching the intimate "interaction" between mother and daughter, Lin Yi couldn't help looking pleased. Wasn't this the life men dreamed of?

At that thought, he stepped forward gently and gathered the two of them into his arms.

But Yuanyuan, who was beside them, seemed to feel left out. He immediately waved his little hands and squeaked in protest.

"We haven't forgotten you. We still remember our Yuanyuan. Come on, let Daddy give you a hug~"

Just like that, the family of four spent the afternoon full of laughter.

Perhaps they had enjoyed playing so much that Tangtang and Yuanyuan hadn't slept all afternoon. Their dark, dark eyes were full of life and energy.

But night had only just fallen.

The two little ones were already sleepy, yawning one after another. When Tangtang yawned, a tear even slid down from the corner of her eye. Anyone who didn't know better would have thought she was crying.

"Mommy will give you some breast milk. Fill your tummies so you can sleep well."

Su Wanqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry as she spoke. She hadn't expected her son and daughter to be this sleepy.

She kept softly calling Tangtang and Yuanyuan's names, hoping they would take a few more mouthfuls before falling asleep. Otherwise, they would wake up hungry in the middle of the night.

At last, Tangtang couldn't hold on any longer. With her little mouth still on her food supply, she closed her eyes, and her breathing grew even and steady.

Over on Lin Yi's side, Yuanyuan was still biting the bottle's nipple and refusing to let go, but a closer look showed that he was about to fall asleep too.

Once the couple put Tangtang and Yuanyuan on the bed, the babies slept soundly without any fuss. They were utterly adorable~

"Mm~ Our son and daughter really are easy to look after."

Beside the bed, Lin Yi couldn't help remarking on it.

He had seen other people's babies, and when they started crying, they could practically take half their parents' lives.

But Tangtang and Yuanyuan were very quiet. They neither cried nor fussed.

Hearing his remark, Su Wanqing burst out laughing. Then she patted the bed and called Lin Yi over to sit with her.

"Honey, I bet you haven't seen what our Tangtang is like when she cries."

"Oh, she may not cry often, but when she does, she's sure to give you a fright!"

As she spoke, Su Wanqing recalled what had happened.

"Once, while I was doing my postpartum confinement, Tangtang started crying for no apparent reason. I was worried sick!"

"I took her to the hospital in the middle of the night, but after examining her, they couldn't find anything wrong. I didn't know what to do."

"After we got home, I was so anxious that I carried him around the room, and then... then I started crying too..."

"Funny thing is, after the two of us cried together for a while, I actually scared Tangtang, and she stopped crying~"

"Her big eyes kept blinking, and in the end, she even put her arms around my head all by herself and looked at me with those pleading eyes. Her mouth was pouting so much you really could have hung a scale weight from it."

Su Wanqing finished with a smile.

But Lin Yi felt as if something were stuck in his throat. He couldn't smile; instead, he felt a little distressed.

Yes, he hadn't been there back then, so she had had to do everything herself.

"Thank you for all your hard work."

Hearing that, Su Wanqing's delicate body trembled. She looked up, blinked her bright eyes, and smiled faintly.

"It wasn't hard, because she's my baby."
