Half a month later, Ling Chujin's postpartum period came to an end, and the couple left the postpartum center with their daughter in their arms. As soon as they got in the car, the little cutie who had been eating and sleeping every day struggled to open her sleepy eyes due to the change in smell.
"Is the baby awake?" Ling Chujin looked at her daughter, her heart melting. "Is she hungry?"
"Our little princess is awake?" Ji Mochen, who was sitting next to her, handed Ling Chujin a thermos bottle filled with breast milk, smiling.
Even though Tan Ruo had been hearing this for half a month, she couldn't help but frown at the affection between Ling Chujin and her former archenemy, Ji Mochen, who didn't get along in her previous life.
"Aw, is the baby unhappy?" Ling Chujin took the bottle and fed her daughter.
Tan Ruo, who was half asleep, thought, "Hungry? But I drank so much just half an hour ago. How could I... gulp, gulp, gulp... be hungry?"
It seemed like she was indeed a bit hungry.
Well, since they were so concerned, I guess I'll reluctantly have some more!
"Look at our daughter, drinking milk so confidently, she's so domineering." Ji Mochen, who was usually aloof, praised their daughter's milk-drinking gesture.
Tan Ruo... Tan Ruo couldn't bear to look.
Thinking of the days when this guy was so arrogant, Tan Ruo wished she could stand up and point at his nose, yelling, "You arrogant person! You have today too!"
Of course, it could only be a thought. After all, she was still a little baby.
As she drank her milk, little baby Tan Ruo glanced at the layout inside the car and couldn't help but miss her luxurious nanny car, which she had specially equipped with her own money. Who knows who's benefiting from it now...
And when she thought about all the hard work she had put in over the years, only to wake up and start all over again? Tan Ruo couldn't help but feel a wave of sadness.
So, for the next half month, Tan Ruo would often mutter a few words, mourning her lost wealth.
This made Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin, the new parents, quite worried.
Of course, it was comforting to know that despite the crying, the milk had never been missed.
Tan Ruo: Cry all you want, but milk still has to be drunk. Yum~
Thus, Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin watched their precious daughter crying and drinking milk, and saw her visibly grow rounder, with chubby little arms. They were both filled with love and joy.
As for Tan Ruo, after crying for half a month, she discovered that Ji Mochen was really wealthy, and she felt like... maybe she wasn't losing after all?
Yes, she remembered hearing rumors that Ji Mochen was the son of some big shot in the entertainment industry and his foray into showbiz was just for fun.
So... why not take it easy?
In the end, Tan Ruo, who was drinking her milk, said, "Forget it... let bygones be bygones... gulp, gulp, gulp... anyway... gulp, gulp, gulp... all of this... gulp, gulp, gulp... will be mine! [Small profit.jpg]"
No, no, Tan Ruo, how can you be so spineless? This is your archenemy we're talking about. Are you really going to consider him your father?
Sigh... Why is life so difficult?
Upon their arrival, Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin, the couple, discovered that their baby, who used to cry at the slightest provocation, had suddenly become emo?
Wait, could such a young child even know what being emo means?
But...
As they watched their daughter, who had woken up without crying or making a fuss, clutching her tiny fists and quietly pouting while looking at the ceiling, Ji Mochen and Ling Chujin couldn't deny that their daughter... seemed to be genuinely emo? Or perhaps she had a bit of anger within her?
Helplessly, the couple, who loved their daughter dearly, immediately took her for a check-up. After going through various tests and examinations, the doctor reached a conclusion:
There's nothing wrong. As for why she's so quiet... it's probably because she cried herself out earlier, so she's exhausted.
Ji Mochen: ... Is this what they call "killing a thousand enemies while sacrificing eight hundred of your own troops"?
Ling Chujin: Honey, what should we do? It seems like our little girl might not be very bright?
Of course, Ling Chujin's worry only lasted for a few days because...
"Oh my goodness, honey, our baby is so beautiful!" Watching their daughter, who looked different every day, Ling Chujin felt like her heart was melting as a mother.
"Isn't that normal?" Ji Mochen looked at their daughter and said, "Our children, no matter how they grow up, will always surpass others by a mile."
"You're right... but honey, don't you think our baby's eyes... resemble Ruo Ruo's a bit?"
Ling Chujin looked at their daughter's big eyes in confusion and asked, "You have peach blossom eyes, and I have phoenix eyes, so how does our daughter end up with double eyelids and fox-like eyes?"
"Tsk... What are you talking about? How could my daughter, Ji Mochen's daughter, resemble Tan Ruo? Just by looking at her eyes, it's clear that they resemble—"
The man's voice suddenly trailed off, and upon closer inspection, he realized that there was indeed some resemblance. Instantly, he became furious.
"Ling Chujin! Confess honestly, did you secretly look at Tan Ruo's photos behind my back when you were pregnant, believing in that 'appearance prenatal education' nonsense you read about online?"
"Huh? What? I don't know..." Ling Chujin started feigning ignorance.
She turned her head, looked at their rosy-cheeked daughter, and once again, a standard fangirl smile appeared on her face. "Hehehe... Our baby has grown up so beautifully. Besides inheriting the best of both you and me, she even found the time to resemble my idol and have such beautiful eyes..."
After saying that, Ling Chujin was filled with excitement and asked, "By the way, honey, with all these similarities, does that mean I've given birth to a mini version of my idol?"
"What mini version? The child hasn't even fully grown yet! Stop talking nonsense. If she grows up a bit more, she'll definitely take after me!" Ji Mochen stubbornly declared.
Ling Chujin simply ignored his words and joyfully exclaimed, "Ah! I knew it! I'm the ultimate universe's number one fangirl! Honey, let's call our precious little one Ruo Ruo, okay?"
"Forget about it! Absolutely not!" Ji Mochen started stomping his feet.
"Really? Can't we?" Ling Chujin blinked her big eyes, and tears started welling up in her eyes. "Because during my confinement, I didn't even get to see my idol's final appearance, and even..."
Watching his wife about to lose more gold coins, the imposing demeanor of Ji Mochen, the Heavenly King, weakened in an instant. Although he and Tan Ruo were not getting along, from an actor's perspective, she was indeed very dedicated.
On the day she passed away, their daughter was still in the emergency room. Ling Chujin, who had been doubly devastated, fainted in tears. If it weren't for their daughter, he might not have been able to recover even now.
With these thoughts, Ji Mochen softened a bit. Upon seeing this, Ling Chujin immediately seized the opportunity and said, "Then let's make it official!"
Then, with a gentle gaze, Ling Chujin called out to their daughter, who had just finished nursing, "Ruo Ruo... Ruo Ruo..."
Tan Ruo, who had just finished nursing and was about to fall asleep, was taken aback. "Huh? Why are you calling me?"
Ling Chujin met her daughter's puzzled gaze and exclaimed, "Oh my, honey, it seems like the baby knows that I'm calling her?"
Ji Mochen: !!!
"Shut up and feed her!!!"
