Wei Yuxian had a smooth natural delivery, and the birth went well without any complications. Both babies were healthy, and after spending three more days at the hospital, she was ready to be discharged and return home to recuperate.
While the hospital was convenient in many ways, the care provided there couldn’t compare to what she would receive at home. Moreover, those who have a natural delivery can typically be discharged after two to three days.
Upon returning home, Wei Yuxian was treated like a precious gem.
Fu Xuanyi had also spent three days at the hospital with her before he went back to work. If it were possible, he would have liked to stay with Wei Yuxian even longer.
However, he couldn’t be absent from the company for too long, so he had to go to work every day. But each day, he would leave work half an hour early, just so he could come back sooner to see the person he longed for.
After three days, Wei Yuxian felt much better and began her formal postpartum confinement period.
The two babies also started to look more adorable, with fair and tender skin, small eyes, and small noses, absolutely charming!
Wei Yuxian adored Shishi and Zhizhi, watching them every day and occasionally holding them in her arms, planting kisses on their faces over and over.
Mr. and Mrs. Fu were now reluctant to leave this place, leaving the Fu family’s ancestral home empty.
Their grandchildren were here, how could they bear to leave?
In the evening, after a day at the office, Fu Xuanyi left work early, driving at the fastest speed to get home in the shortest time possible.
As soon as he entered the house, he asked, “Where is your Madam?”
Aunt Fu, with a face full of smiles, said, “Madam and the young master and miss are in the room, and Mrs. Fu is upstairs.”
Fu Xuanyi responded with a “Mm,” changed his shoes, washed his hands, and went into Wei Yuxian’s room.
His steps were a bit hurried, eager to see his beloved and the little ones.
He pushed open the door, walked in, and indeed saw the person he longed for in the room, along with his mother and the two children.
When Wei Yuxian saw him return, she turned her head, a smile appearing on her face, calling out, “Ah Xuan.”
“Mm,” he replied as he walked in, greeted his mother, and sat down beside Wei Yuxian.
Wei Yuxian was chatting with Mrs. Fu in the room, while Shishi and Zhizhi were sleeping in their own little beds.
The two little ones’ hands were still holding onto each other, an unconscious gesture.
Wei Yuxian didn’t want to be apart from the two children for even a moment; she wanted to see them every second, even when they were asleep.
Perhaps it was because she had just become a mother, but she was extremely reluctant to leave the two babies!
If it weren’t for the fear of rolling over and squashing the babies during sleep, she would have wanted to bring them to bed and sleep together!
Fu Xuanyi took Wei Yuxian’s hand in his, playing with it gently, and asked, “Are you feeling uncomfortable today?”
Wei Yuxian shook her head, not pulling her hand away, and said, “I’m not uncomfortable anymore, I’m all better.”
“That’s good,” Fu Xuanyi said. “Are the babies behaving?”
Wei Yuxian recalled the babies’ situation today and said, “Zhizhi cried five times, and Shishi cried four times. They spent most of the time sleeping.”
“Are you tired?”
“Not tired, I’m not watching them all the time. I took a nap in the afternoon,” she replied one by one.
Mrs. Fu watched them interact so peacefully and was very pleased. She said, “Ah Xuan, you can rest assured. At home, how could we let Yuxian get tired? We’re keeping an eye on things.”
“Thank you, Mom, for your hard work.”
After sitting in the room for a while, it was time for dinner, and the two babies still hadn’t woken up. They spent more than twenty hours a day sleeping.
When they were awake, it was just to drink milk, and then they would fall asleep again.
They waited until two nannies came in to watch the children before going downstairs for dinner. After eating, Wei Yuxian took a slow walk in the living room for about ten minutes before returning to her room.
She went to check on the two babies again, and Fu Xuanyi followed her steps back into the room.
As soon as they returned, Wei Yuxian heard the cries of the two babies; they had woken up. She quickly walked over and took Zhizhi into her arms, gently rocking her arm to soothe her.
“Zhizhi, don’t cry, don’t cry, Mommy’s here…” she said soothingly as she rocked her arm.
Fu Xuanyi also took Shishi from the nanny, holding him awkwardly and mimicking Wei Yuxian’s actions by rocking his arm to comfort the child.
Compared to the first time, Fu Xuanyi’s movements were much more practiced. Shishi, small in his arms, made Fu Xuanyi appear quite tall.
At this moment, the nanny watching Wei Yuxian comfort the child said, “Master Xuan, Madam, the young master and miss are hungry; it’s time to feed them.”
Wei Yuxian smiled at the two nannies and said, “I understand, Auntie. You can go out first.”
“Yes, Madam. If you need anything, just call us; we’ll be right outside the door,” they said before leaving the room.
In the room, only Wei Yuxian, Fu Xuanyi, and the fussing Shishi and Zhizhi remained.
Wei Yuxian sat down on the bed with Zhizhi in her arms, looking at the man, biting her lower lip, and said, “Put Shishi down and go out… I need to feed them.”
The last sentence was said with some embarrassment.
Fu Xuanyi placed Shishi on the bed, right next to Wei Yuxian, and said, “I won’t look.”
He didn’t leave the room but instead walked over to a chair and sat down with his back to her, as if his firm back was telling Wei Yuxian: I really won’t look.
Wei Yuxian bit her lip again, not saying anything more, tacitly allowing him to sit there.
She first fed Zhizhi, who was in her arms. As soon as Zhizhi had something to eat, she stopped crying immediately and ate attentively.
Meanwhile, Shishi was still crying, and Wei Yuxian could only spare one hand to gently pat him, saying, “Shishi, wait a moment, it’ll be your turn soon, after your sister finishes…”
As she spoke, she looked over in the direction of the man to see his reaction.
When she saw that the man’s back was still firm and unchanged, she let out a sigh of relief.
Speaking of which, this was her first time breastfeeding the two children in front of Fu Xuanyi.
For the past two days, she had been avoiding it, not letting him be present.
The doctor said that it was best for newborn babies to be breastfed because breast milk contains many things that formula doesn’t, and it’s easier for babies to absorb and adapt to.
Therefore, Wei Yuxian followed the doctor’s advice and chose to breastfeed.
After Zhizhi was full, it was Shishi’s turn. The former was placed on the bed, no longer crying or fussing, and also not sleeping, unusually awake.
Once Shishi got his food, he stopped crying and ate voraciously, even more aggressively than Zhizhi had earlier.
Wei Yuxian fed the babies while keeping an eye on Fu Xuanyi, afraid he might suddenly turn around.
Fortunately, the man was quite true to his word; he said he wouldn’t look, and he didn’t turn around, which also relieved Wei Yuxian.
