Chapter 701: Where Did I Go Wrong?
Li Chenxu was completely making things up, but Mu Xiaoyu was completely unaware of it. Hearing this, she was overjoyed, staring blankly at the child inside and laughing incessantly. Her bright eyes and brows were filled with undisguised joy.
Li Chenxu stood beside her, looking at Mu Xiaoyu's smiling profile, and was momentarily stunned.
He didn't know how long it had been since he'd seen Mu Xiaoyu smile so happily. Back then, when Mu Xiaoyu married him, it was he who forced her, who schemed to make her marry him.
There was a period when the two understood each other and cleared up the misunderstanding. That period was very sweet and was the happiest time they had together.
But later, it became what it is now.
Li Chenxu knew that the fault lay entirely with him, and he shouldn't have expected Mu Xiaoyu to be able to smile at him.
However, seeing Mu Xiaoyu smiling so happily now, he was also very pleased.
If he could, he hoped she could always be this happy.
"Don't keep looking at me, look at the child. You haven't come to see An'an much before, have you? It's a good thing An'an is still young and doesn't know anything, otherwise she would definitely be angry with us."
Noticing that Li Chenxu was only staring at her and not looking at An'an, Mu Xiaoyu immediately became dissatisfied.
She quickly tugged at Li Chenxu's clothes, pointed to An'an inside, and gestured for him to look at the child more.
Perhaps she herself didn't even realize how intimate their actions were.
Li Chenxu couldn't help but laugh, just like Mu Xiaoyu had laughed earlier; it was a genuine smile from the bottom of his heart.
He grasped the hand that Mu Xiaoyu was using to hold his clothes, then looked at An'an inside.
Fortunately, Mu Xiaoyu was focused on An'an at the time and didn't notice these small details.
An'an's existence was like a gift from heaven to the two of them. They looked at An'an greedily again and again until the nurse needed to clean and bathe An'an, and then they reluctantly prepared to go back.
Just as she was about to go upstairs, the original nurse called Mu Xiaoyu back.
"Mrs. Li, please wait a moment."
"Hmm? What's wrong? Did something happen to An'an?"
When the nurse called out to Mu Xiaoyu, she immediately became nervous, her eyes filled with apprehension as she looked at the nurse.
The nurse was taken aback upon hearing this, and it took her a few seconds to realize who An'an was that Mu Xiaoyu was talking about.
She smiled and reassured the somewhat anxious and worried Mu Xiaoyu: "An'an is fine. I just wanted to let you know that An'an can leave us next week. If you can, it would be best to breastfeed her, as it will be better."
"No."
Upon hearing the nurse's words, Li Chenxu, standing to the side, refused without hesitation, displaying an unyielding and forceful attitude.
When he spoke, both the nurse and Mu Xiaoyu looked at him with confusion, clearly not understanding why Li Chenxu would object.
Knowing that his reaction had been a bit too strong, Li Chenxu softened his expression and explained to the two people in front of him, "My wife is not in good health and has not fully recovered yet. Breastfeeding takes a lot of energy from an adult, and I don't want to see my wife so tired."
Actually, breastfeeding has certain benefits for both the child and the mother, especially for the child, as it helps boost their immunity. An'an was premature and very weak at birth. Breastfeeding would have made a big difference.
The nurse was somewhat helpless; it was the first time she had ever seen a father like Li Chenxu.
But this is their family matter; she's just a nurse and has no right to interfere.
Mu Xiaoyu was also surprised to find that Li Chenxu's reason for refusing to breastfeed his child was this, and she was both amused and exasperated.
She wasn't angry, but looked helplessly at Li Chenxu: "I'm not some weak person. Besides, it's just feeding a baby, how tiring can it be? Besides, didn't you take that class before? You said that breastfeeding has a lot of benefits for me."
Li Chenxu seemed a little aggrieved by Mu Xiaoyu's words. He pursed his lips and said after a few seconds, "I'm not saying you can't breastfeed An'an anymore. I just think you need to rest for a few more days. When you're a little stronger, you can breastfeed An'an again. Or I can ask a wet nurse to come and breastfeed for the next few days."
Mu Xiaoyu hesitated, knowing her own body well. She had indeed been quite weak since giving birth, and the most crucial issue with breastfeeding was the potential disruption of her day-night cycle. After all, a baby's sleep schedule differs significantly from an adult's.
Her health isn't very good right now, and if this continues for a long time, it will definitely take a lot of toll.
But the child's health isn't good either...
Mu Xiaoyu hesitated. She frowned and looked at An'an's room. She bit her lip and after a while said to Li Chenxu, "I'll do it. Didn't the nurse just say that An'an won't be here until next week? I'll take these few days to rest and recuperate, and then work on my physical fitness."
This time, Mu Xiaoyu's expression was very firm when she spoke.
Li Chenxu knew Mu Xiaoyu very well, and seeing her like this, he knew there was no turning back.
He sighed and had no choice but to agree.
"Let's make it clear first. During the few days An'an is here, you must exercise every day, and you can't be picky about food. You have to eat everything you're supposed to eat."
"I know, I understand, stop nagging."
In front of the nurse, Li Chenxu said that to her. Mu Xiaoyu was a grown woman, but she was also very thin-skinned. She couldn't stand it and immediately felt embarrassed.
After saying what she needed to say, the nurse didn't want to be a third wheel between Mu Xiaoyu and Li Chenxu, so she quickly made an excuse to leave.
As soon as the person left, Li Chenxu subconsciously wanted to take Mu Xiaoyu's hand and pull her back.
However, before she could even touch Mu Xiaoyu's hand, she dodged it.
It was unclear what she was angry about, but Mu Xiaoyu gave Li Chenxu a heavy snort, said nothing, and went upstairs.
Li Chenxu was somewhat puzzled, looking at his empty hands and recalling his words and actions just now.
He thought and thought but couldn't figure out what he had done wrong to make the person angry.
Li Chenxu couldn't figure it out, so he finally decided to ask Mu Xiaoyu properly.
Having suffered misunderstandings from keeping quiet in the past, it's best to speak up and resolve things now, no matter what the issue is. If you keep it bottled up, the misunderstandings will only grow bigger.
Thinking of this, Li Chenxu quickly chased after him: "Xiaoyu!"
"What are you doing! Don't touch me!"
"Did I do something wrong again? Tell me so I can correct it."
"You do not know?"
Mu Xiaoyu was so angry she laughed, and her gaze towards Li Chenxu became increasingly speechless.
