My Happy Daily Life After Being Reborn-Chapter 301 - 20 After Discharge
Chapter 301: Chapter 20 After Discharge
Lin Xiaoguai had expected Han Kuang to express some opinions regarding the children’s surnames, but surprisingly, he didn’t say anything. He simply stood beside the incubators and watched for a long time.
Although he stood with a straight back, Lin Xiaoguai felt his silhouette was tinged with loneliness.
When such a thought flashed through her mind, Lin Xiaoguai was not the type to become sentimental or soft-hearted—whatever seeds you sow, you reap the consequences.
"I heard Shoulu’s adoptive father and grandparents are here. Let’s have a meal together sometime," Han Kuang said calmly before leaving.
Lin Xiaoguai neither agreed nor refused. After all, whether this could happen depended on Shen Chi’s wishes. Her consent would have been in vain.
Not long after Han Kuang left, Luo Yufang hurried back to the ward with a look of frightened relief, "Wanwan, did I just see Chi’s biological father?"
With his considerable reputation among the people and frequent appearances in military topics on the central channel news broadcasts, Luo Yufang recognized him at once. She had rushed over, fearing that her granddaughter-in-law had been at a disadvantage while she was unaware.
"He came to see the children," Lin Xiaoguai said with a light laugh.
"He didn’t say anything unpleasant, did he?" Luo Yufang asked, full of worry.
"Of course not," Lin Xiaoguai explained, somewhat amusedly, "Don’t worry, grandma. General Han Kuang is a senior leader after all; he wouldn’t come to trouble a woman like me."
Luo Yufang sighed with relief and placed the just-boiled water she carried on the bedside cabinet.
Because Qiaoqiao needed to stay in the incubator for a month, Lin Xiaoguai was discharged from the hospital only after completing her confinement there.
By this time, the four children had puffed up and grown white and chubby. Qiaoqiao appeared somewhat smaller than children of the same age, but the other three were no different from ordinary infants.
At the same time, it was already possible to discern the children’s features.
The eldest daughter, Sisi, looked the most like Lin Xiaoguai, with only her mouth resembling Shen Chi; the second son, Little Sun, and third son, Little Spring Breeze, each bore a mix of their parents’ features—Little Sun had Shen Chi’s eyes and brows, while his mouth and nose resembled Lin Xiaoguai, and Little Spring Breeze was the opposite.
As for the daughter Qiaoqiao...
Seeing her identical appearance to Little Sun, it was clear that these two children were the embryos from the same gestational sac.
Among the children, because Sisi almost seemed to be molded after Lin Xiaoguai, Shen Chi showed obvious favoritism towards her.
"Can’t you be a little less obvious about it?" Lin Xiaoguai couldn’t help but complain.
"Isn’t it just like seeing you as a child? Once the child grows up, I won’t do this anymore," Shen Chi said sheepishly, but he couldn’t help protesting, "You are the most biased towards Little Niangao yourself. Don’t think I can’t see it."
"..." Lin Xiaoguai’s expression paused, and she whispered softly, looking down, "That’s because he is a treasure I’ve found again after losing him."
A faint sadness glided through her eyes, and her thoughts drifted to her previous life.
Shen Chi, however, thought she was referring to the time she almost had a miscarriage. His expression stiffened, and he embraced her earnestly, "I swore I would never let you get hurt again." He had long realized that Wanwan had been brooding over what had happened, and what he could do was to prevent such things from happening again.
Lin Xiaoguai’s expression paused, then slowly, her face brightened with a laugh, "I believe you."
Shen Chi’s eyes lit up, ardently gazing at the beloved who was beginning to respond to him.
According to Luo Yufang’s wishes, the plan was originally for Lin Xiaoguai to go through a double confinement, but as she recovered well and the doctor said there was no need, they didn’t insist.
After Lin Xiaoguai was discharged, many people came to visit, with conversations revolving around congratulating and envying her for having quadruplets.
However, most of those guests were turned away by Shen Chi; the few who did require her attention were close friends and relatives.
"Wanwan, you’re really lucky," Su Qianqian said enviously, gazing at the four children lying side by side.
Lin Xiaoguai smiled. At this moment, she didn’t feel like saying much.
"Mommy, daddy said you can’t covet other people’s children; I’m your precious baby," Chen Xuanli said earnestly from the sideline.
The little tyke, all serious while speaking sappy words in his sweet, milky voice—it was too cute.
Lin Xiaoguai was taken aback, but she couldn’t help laughing and pulled Chen Xuanli over, "Little Douzi, did your daddy tell you to say that?"
Little Douzi was Chen Xuanli’s nickname, named so because Su Qianqian was still thinking about the green beans she had left halfway cooked when she had to put out the fire to have him.
"The last part was my own addition," the tiny one said sheepishly, blinking.
