After Li Xu and Cheng Shuqin turned around, Qin Mucheng unbuttoned Ji
Yuanyuanâs shirt.
The hot towel felt quite comfortable on her chest.
When the towel was no longer hot, Qin Mucheng went to change the water again.
After half an hour of continuous application, Ji Yuanyuan finally took the breast pump at the side.
Unfortunately, there was still none.
-Why donât we find a Breastmaster? I heard that itâs quite useful.â Cheng Shuqin suggested.
âAlright, itâs better to think of a way than to wait like this.â Li Xu whispered.
It had been almost 24 hours since the baby was born, but she had not had a sip
of breast milk. Just thinking about it made her feel pitiful.
âActually, itâs fine for the child to drink milk powder. Milk powder was also quite nutritious, so it was not necessary to drink breast milk.â Qin Mucheng voiced his opinion hesitantly.
He had done his homework during Ji Yuanyuanâs pregnancy. Although breast milk was good, there were many drawbacks to breast-feeding.
First of all, she had to avoid certain foods. She couldnât eat this or that. Secondly, after losing her freedom, she had to feed the child every once in a while.
Secondly, there would be a lot of awkwardness outside, so she needed a breast pad. If she werenât careful, it would overflow.
Finally, breast-feeding would cause her breasts to droop.
The only benefit of breastfeeding was that it was better for the child than drinking milk powder.
However, Qin Mucheng felt that a woman was herself first and then a mother.
She could choose to sacrifice herself for her child or live for herself.
He wanted Ji Yuanyuan to live for herself.
As her mother-in-law, Cheng Shuqin naturally couldnât say anything.
She did not say anything.
As her biological mother, Li Xu did not agree, âOur Tangtang was born prematurely, and her body is not as good as other children. If she drink milk powder againâ¦â
â1 still want to breastfeed. I heard that breastfeeding will improve the relationship between the child and the mother, and the child will feel more secure.â Ji Yuanyuan knew that Qin Mucheng was doing this for her own good. However, she had finally given birth to Tangtang. She wanted to treat the child better.
Tangtang had suffered so much in her previous life. She did not want Tangtang to suffer even a little in this life.
Qin Mucheng frowned slightly and quickly compromised, âThen letâs mix breast milk and milk powder.â
Ji Yuanyuan nodded and looked at Cheng Shuqin, âMom, can you help me find a gynecologist?â
Cheng Shuqin immediately beamed and made a call.
Li Xu also said, âIâll call your second aunt. I remember that your second aunt didnât have any milk back then. I forgot how she gets milk later on.â Without waiting for Ji Yuanyuan to reply, she took her phone and left.
Only Ji Yuanyuan and Qin Mucheng were left in the ward.
âAre you hungry? Do you want to eat something?â Qin Mucheng asked softly.
Ji Yuanyuan shook her head, âI donât want to eat.
Upon hearing this, Qin Mucheng lowered his head and reached out to tidy up the blanket for Ji Yuanyuan.
It was obvious that Qin Mucheng was a little unhappy.
Ji Yuanyuan reached out to hold Qin Muchengâs hand and asked softly, âWhatâs wrong? Why are you unhappy?
Qin Mucheng did not say anything. After a moment of silence, he said, âYouâve already sacrificed a lot to give birth so early. In fact, there was no need to insist on breast milk. The milk powder now was also very nutritious. Compared to breast milk, it was not much worse.â
Ji Yuanyuan was touched but also a little uncomfortable.
She was touched that Qin Mucheng had always put her first.
What was uncomfortable was that the person Tangtangâs father loved the most was not Tangtang.
This conflicting feeling made Ji Yuanyuanâs eyes turn red.
She sniffed and whispered, âI was the one who wanted to give birth to Tangtang. She had no choice. Since we brought her into this world, we should love her, right?â
Qin Mucheng pursed his lips and did not respond.
-Hubby, you have to love her in the future. You had to be the person who loved her the most in this world, understood?â She reached out and wrapped her arms around Qin Muchengâs neck. She kissed him on the cheek and said softly.
âI will never become the person who loves her the most in this world. Because you are.â Qin Mucheng smiled bitterly.
-It doesnât matter. Then youâll become the second person in the world who loves her.â Ji Yuanyuan acted coquettishly.
Qin Mucheng laughed.
Ji Yuanyuan did not think that there was anything wrong with Qin Mucheng.
One had to know that Tangtang was born too suddenly.
Qin Mucheng must not have gotten used to the identity of a father yet.
If she did not have the energy from her previous life and did not look forward to this child for a long time, she might not have adapted to the identity of a mother so quickly.
This feeling of helplessness would probably last for a while.
When Qin Mucheng got used to it, he would definitely love Tangtang as much as she did.
After all, Tangtang was related to him by blood and was his daughter.
Therefore, Ji Yuanyuan was willing to give Qin Mucheng more time to adapt to this identity.
Not long after, Cheng Shuqin returned.
âIâve contacted a gynecologist. Heâll be here in about half an hour.â
Not long after Cheng Shuqin finished speaking, Li Xu also came.
Her expression was a little awkward, as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.
After hesitating for a moment, Li Xu stepped forward and said, âYuanyuan, let me tell you something.â
âWhat is it?â Ji Yuanyuan was a little surprised.
Li Xu stood beside her and waved at her, âCome here, Iâll tell you in secret.â Ji Yuanyuan glanced at Qin Mucheng and then suspiciously moved his ear closer to Li Xu.
After Li Xu finished speaking, Ji Yuanyuanâs face turned red.
Li Xu straightened up and whispered, âI just called your second aunt. She told me. You can try.â
Without waiting for Ji Yuanyuanâs reaction, Li Xu turned around and pulled Cheng Shuqin away, âShuqin, letâs go out for a while. This room is too stuffy. Cheng Shuqinâs face was full of suspicion, âDidnât we just come in from outside?â
Besides, there was a fresh air system in the room. How could it be stuffy? However, seeing Li Xuâs uncomfortable expression, Cheng Shuqin still followed her.
When they were outside, Cheng Shuqin could not help but ask, âWhat happened?â
Li Xu pursed her lips and braced herself to whisper a few words into Cheng Shuqinâs ear.
Cheng Shuqin did not blush like the mother and daughter. Instead, she smiled, âI see. Whatâs there to be shy about? They were husband and wife. Wasnât that normal?â
Li Xu rubbed his temples and didnât say anything.
In the house, Qin Mucheng watched Li Xu and Cheng Shuqin leave before he asked curiously, âWhat did our mom say to you just now?â
Ji Yuanyuan stammered, âMy mother just called my second aunt. She didnât have any milk when she gave birth to Li Nian.â
Li Xu had said these words just now.
Qin Mucheng did not say anything and only listened quietly to what Ji Yuanyuan said next.
âSo my mother learned from my second aunt. My second aunt said⦠She said.. Ji Yuanyuan licked her lips, feeling a little embarrassed..
