During the entire pregnancy, Su Xing witnessed the marriages of two close friends, the successful rehabilitation of his own family member, and Shen Huai Ming's skin graft surgery. Shen Huai Ming and Su Bokan, who had previously lost all hope in life, found themselves together, preparing a beautiful future for their next generation. They both wanted to present their best selves to their children and fulfill the roles of loving grandparents.
On this matter, both Shen Jingyu and Su Xing were very pleased! Especially with Zhu Man and the support from the Gu Family, both of their health conditions improved remarkably. This was an unexpected blessing, as Su Xing had made an extraordinary friend who helped his family gain a better quality of life. After all those years living in the mountains, they had only reached a certain level of well-being. However, meeting the Gu family allowed them to experience health akin to that of normal people, which was nothing short of miraculous!
As their health improved, Qin Yi became increasingly curious about their bodies! He wanted to create a project that would apply various reports on their physiology to medical research. However, the mysterious nature of this hidden family made it difficult to grasp any tangible evidence. Eventually, Qin Yi was compelled to humbly seek guidance from Zhu Man!
The next gathering occurred when Su Xing gave birth. In less than a year, Zhu Man had completely subdued Shi Shaowen! The once proud Shi Shaowen acknowledged her identity as Consort and displayed unprecedented patience and affection towards Zhu Man.
As couples gathered in the hospital room waiting for Su Xing to deliver her baby, only Nan Gong Ye remained as a single man! "Damn it! Why am I here? You all are holding one in your arms and have another hanging on your hip!" The single Nan Gong Ye felt overwhelmed and inspired at the same time! "Tomorrow I’m going back to find a partner! By year-end, I’ll have three!" He was determined that with his charm, he would surely win someone's heart.
Everyone burst into laughter!
With the birth of Shen Jingyu's eldest son, the Shen Family welcomed a new generation. Shen Zhengxin had prepared for this moment for a long time; in the special care unit, on fragrant rice paper stained with ink, was written the name of Shen Xiaozi! Shen Chengli—Shen Family's thirty-second generation heir—had been added to the family tree.
When the month was up, the Shen Family would celebrate with joyous festivities once again! After three days of drowsy sleep, Su Xing finally felt her strength returning.
As Shen Jingyu helped her stroll, she couldn't help but voice her concerns. "Am I really getting old? Compared to those young mothers, my recovery is just too slow!"
The disappointment of not being able to nurse little Ali weighed heavily on her, wrapping her in a sense of helplessness that felt almost suffocating. Thankfully, Shen Jingyu was always there to reassure her. "Don't say that in front of Mu Beiyao; she's older and still hasn't given birth yet! If you let her get anxious, your life will be harder."
Shen Jingyu understood how to comfort his woman. Su Xingran realized she wasn’t old at all! She had to be full of vitality!
"Is formula the best option? I’ve heard that water milk is more suitable for babies. What did you choose for our child?"
Shen Jingyu felt relieved. Worrying about these trivial matters was far better than letting her mind wander into despair. It was better than feeling like she would never recover and ending up depressed!
"Relax! That’s the best approach. I heard from an expert that several lactation consultants have been involved, and when our son dislikes other women touching him, he ultimately chooses the specially formulated water milk that’s best for his body!"
With Qin Yi keeping an eye on things, she could feel completely at ease! Moreover, he had even apprenticed under Zhu Man now; things were only going to get bigger!
After hearing this explanation, Su Xingran felt even lighter. However, she began to worry about her man again.
"I'm not in great health, and all the pressure at home falls on you."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jingyu looked at Su Xingran sternly. "What are you saying? Our family is something I will support for you and the child! That’s my responsibility, and it’s something I willingly choose to do!"
"Besides, if you're feeling old because of this, you don’t need to worry about it. Just focus on taking care of yourself; I wouldn’t mind if you pampered me in other ways! After all, I’ve been holding back for quite a while!" Shen Jingyu said this with sincerity.
Su Xingran's health had suffered due to that poisoning incident, so by the time the baby was seven or eight months along, her condition had worsened significantly. Qin Yi and Zhu Man had come back two or three times specifically to help her recover.
Even so, Su Xingran insisted on not opting for a cesarean section early, wanting the baby to stay in her womb until full term. She could take various supplements to provide energy for the baby; she couldn’t bear the thought of the little one being born prematurely. If that tiny bundle needed to stay in an incubator or anything like that, it would break her heart!
Thus, after giving birth, it felt as if all her strength had been transferred to her child. She felt incredibly weak!
He Xiaoqing secretly felt heartbroken but didn’t dare say anything. With her son-in-law already doing so much, she had no grounds to complain. The only difficulty was that with a granddaughter so small, she could only divide some of her energy to support her daughter while also giving love to her grandson who needed his grandmother's affection too!
In the month of blooming flowers and warm spring, the Shen Family held a grand banquet to celebrate Shen Chengli's full moon. The lively atmosphere rivaled that of Shen Jingyu and Su Xing's wedding. This time, the venue was at Shen Guan, where several villas opened their doors, allowing guests to toast and enjoy each other's company amidst the natural oxygen-rich forest. They expressed their blessings and expectations for little Shen Chengli.
Su Xing had not changed in figure; in fact, she had lost quite a bit of weight, which drew envious glances from many during the fitting of her dress! Mu Beiyao, who was also an expectant mother at seven months along, had been well taken care of and maintained a good foundation, but she could not escape the fate of swelling. Standing next to Su Xing, she lamented, "What am I going to do after giving birth? It’s going to be a miracle if I recover in just a month!"
Lu Xiangyi, wearing flat shoes and joining in on the fun, chimed in, "If you’re too thin, you won’t be able to breastfeed. Do you think Sister Xing is happy about being so frail?"
Su Xing shot Lu Xiangyi a glance and remarked, "Little Heiress is getting more perceptive! You can pinpoint the confusion of a new mother so accurately!"
Lu Xiangyi smiled shyly, having changed her demeanor slightly. "You flatter me! Let me see our little master! He’s the most extraordinary child in the city!"
At that moment, Shen Chengli was comfortably cradled in his father's arms as they greeted a circle of guests outside. When Su Xing appeared, the family of three embraced each other at the center of the courtyard.
Some suggested raising their glasses for a toast, others proposed sharing joyful words over drinks, while yet another suggested taking a family photo with no limit on the number of people!
