The baby didn’t care who Tianye Mu was. He could only recognize his mother and Dudu.
Xiran Xiao laughed in embarrassment, "How can he understand what you are talking about? He’s too young."
"What else can we do? Is he hungry? We don't have milk powder either." Tianye had never been in such an awkward situation before. He was a complete idiot while dealing with the baby.
A brilliant idea flashed through Xiran’s mind. "Come on, I know a good place to go."
"Where?” Tianye got up, following her.
"Come with me, you'll see soon enough."
Ten minutes later, the baby was surrounded by the nurses of Obstetrics and Gynecology.
"Wow, he's so cute! How could he be so adorable?"
"That's right. He's so pretty."
Xiran smiled at Tianye and said to those nurses, "The baby's father is hospitalized on the fifth floor. I'm the baby's aunt, I am inexperienced and don't know how to take care of him. Would you please......"
"Just come to us, we will take care of him," One of the nurses volunteered, "I'll go get some food for him."
"Right, we also have diapers in the office, let’s change him nappy now."
"I'll get a wipe to clean the baby's face."
Xiran pushed her way out of the nurses, chuckling. "Your little nephew is a real honey. I believe he’ll attract a lot of women when he grows up."
Tianye leaned forward and whispered in her ear, smiling softly, "Our child will be very adorable and engaging too."
Xiran blushed at his words, but didn't get angry. Instead, she confessed, "I didn’t like children before. I found them so annoying and troublesome. But the moment I saw him yesterday, my whole heart melted. Well, then I thought, it's nice to have a baby."
Tianye's heart overflowed with tenderness, "Let’s get married and have a baby when we get Venus back."
"Huh," Xiran joked, "You haven’t proposed but expect me to accept your offer of marriage?"
Tianye also made fun of her deliberately. "Is proposal a necessity?"
"Well, it doesn’t have to be." Xiran chuckled, "But I may have children with other men."
Tianye grabbed Xiran's waist and whispered in her ear. "You must marry me. Other men who covet you, I’ll kill them all!"
Xiran tilted her head, looking at him, "Humph, I'll think it over seriously."
The nurses had fed the baby and changed him a new outfit. Xiran bade farewell to all the nurses with the baby. And when she was about to leave, those nurses kept telling her to bring the baby to them if she had any problem.
Xiran couldn’t help shaking her head. Good looks is a blessing in today’s society.
In the monitoring ward, Kerry was still in a coma, but his wound was healing rapidly in invisible places under the covers.
The baby was still immunocompromised, so Xiran only stood in front of the glass window of Kerry’s ward for a short while, carrying the baby in her arms. The baby seemed very serious, staring at the man lying on the bed; he felt like he had seen this man before.
At around eight o'clock, Kerry was awakened by the pain of his wound, he opened his eyes and saw Tianye sitting on the chair beside the bed, he immediately asked, "Where is the baby?".
Tianye lifted his eyes from the phone, looking cold. "He was stolen by others after you passed out."
Kerry sat bolt upright in bed. The oxygen tube on his nose fell on the blanket. "What did you say? Who took the baby?"
Tianye continued lying with serious face as if he was telling the truth, "The man with the mask, remember?"
"How is that possible?" Kerry covered the wound in his chest with one hand. "Didn't they leave before us?"
Tianye was just about to make up the rest of the story when Henry Zhang came in, "Young Master, you finally woke up. Why are you sitting? Lie down! Don’t move. Otherwise, wound dehiscence may occur."
Kerry asked anxiously to Henry, "What happened? Why would the baby be taken away?"
Henry was puzzled, "Baby? The baby is with us, Ms. Xiao is holding him now."
Kerry was stunned, then immediately realized Tianye was teasing him. He turned his head to glare at Tianye, who was sneering at him, and said angrily, "Tianye, what’s your problem? How could you be so childish? Is it fun?"
Tianye sat with his legs crossed, "Well, it's fun to me."
"Idiot!" Kerry cursed, slowly laying back on the bed, only then did he realize that every time he breathed, his heart was like being pierced. It was so painful that he couldn’t help trembling all over.
Henry noticed Kerry’s face paled, he remembered what the doctor had warned him before. "Young Master, the doctor said it will be very painful when the effects of the anesthetics disappear. Endure the pain with all your will!”
“You’re talking nonsense. What else can I do but grit my teeth against the pain?”
Kerry took a long time to recover; he said to Henry. "Bring the baby to me, I want to see him."
"How am I supposed to know?" Now Kerry was feeling painful both physically and mentally.
Tianye snorted. “During Venus’s early pregnancy, you threw me into the sea. At that time, Venus hated you so much that the baby in her womb also felt her resentment, so he has been detesting you before he was born. It's normal to cry upon seeing you.”
Tianye was just joking. Xiran didn’t take it seriously, laughing it off. After all, the baby was just a little ball of flesh back then. How’s it possible for him to have his own thought. But Kerry believed in Tianye’s explanation. He instantly turned depressed, staring fixedly at the baby's chubby face out of his washed-out eyes.
Tianye successfully depressed Kerry. Feeling very pleasant, he hugged Xiran and was about to leave. "Let's go, I'll take you to the airport. Nighthawk is waiting there, he will protect you all the way back home."
Seeing that baby was about to leave, Kerry decided to try again. "Wait, bring him to me. Let me take a last look at him."
Xiran was kind. She stopped and tried to get the baby to turn his head to face his father, but he wouldn't turn his head however she tried. He kept his little head resting on her shoulder, teary-eyed, having his back to Kerry.
"Okay, forget it. Take him away. I see. This little guy was born to be my creditor. I owe him." Kerry waved his hand and quit.
Tianye agreed. "You can’t do anything about it. After all, half of his genes were inherited from the Mu family."
On the way to the airport, while playing with the baby, Xiran said to Tianye. "You are driving Kerry crazy today."
"Huh! Venus has already forgiven Kerry, but I haven’t. Fortunately, my little nephew has backbone and has adhered to moral principles of the Mu family."
Xiran shook her head and laughed, feeling hilarious. "I find that you show a childlike combativeness in wrangling with Kerry over trifles."
"Do I?" Tianye questioned, frowning tightly.
"Yes, you do!" Xiran responded decidedly.
Tianye thought back to the past few days with Kerry, curling his lips. "Well, that's probably because I can't fight with him. However, I detest him on sight. I can't resist the urge to bicker with him."
"I understand. I'd like to beat him up sometimes."
"Yeah, I know. I told you, it's not my fault. He asked for it ."
"You’re right."
They looked at each other and laughed, coming to an agreement on their thought of Kerry.
The baby, not knowing what they were laughing at, also giggled with them.
Meeting Nighthawk at the airport, Tianye repeatedly warned him. "Take care of them! Make sure they get home safe and sound!"
