Chapter 544 Creating an Opportunity for Him
Chapter 544 Creating an Opportunity for Him
About ten minutes later, the little guy finished drinking, and Sister Qiu instructed He Yi to pat his back and say things like that so that the baby would not burp easily. He Yi remembered it carefully and did it very well.
Sister Qiu couldn't help but admire her.
"Go to sleep, I'll keep watch here," He Yi said to Sister Qiu after a while.
Sister Qiu hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Then please feel free to call me if you need anything."
"Ah."
After Qiu Jie left, He Yi's attention returned to his son.
The little guy had just finished eating, or perhaps he saw his father, so he didn't go to sleep immediately. He stared at He Yi with his big, dark eyes wide open.
He Yi had a smile on his face the whole time, feeling touched and happy. Then the little guy suddenly started babbling, and he said, "How about Daddy takes you out? Don't disturb Mommy's sleep."
"Mom went through a lot to give birth to you, so she needs to rest well and recover her health so she'll have the energy to take care of you!"
He spoke as he carried the little one out.
Unbeknownst to him, Gu Zhiyao had already woken up.
Actually, she woke up while he was breastfeeding the baby.
She didn't expect him to actually stay until now, still diligently following Sister Qiu's instructions step by step.
Hearing his words just now, in particular, stirred her emotions.
She didn't understand her feelings; in short, she just couldn't calm down anymore.
She remembered that Sister Qiu told her that Xiao Bao would usually fall back asleep quickly after finishing his milk, but he didn't today. Was it because Xiao Bao knew that this was his father and wanted to spend more time with him?
Gu Zhiyao was no longer sleepy and just stared blankly into space until she heard a noise at the door, at which point she quickly closed her eyes.
The little guy finally fell asleep. He Yi carried him back, carefully placed him in the crib, covered him with a blanket, looked at him with joy for a while, and then went to Gu Zhiyao's bedside.
Gu Zhiyao immediately felt a surge of tension and even held her breath.
She heard footsteps again after an unknown amount of time, and then the room became completely quiet. She slowly opened her eyes again.
Her emotions were still fluctuating. After a while, she got up, looked at her son, went back to bed, picked up her phone to browse the news, and finally fell asleep again around 5 a.m.
I woke up at 9:30 the next day.
Qiu Jie was playing with Xiao Bao when she saw her wake up. She hugged Xiao Bao and brought her close, saying, "Xiao Bao, look, Mommy's awake. Say good morning to Mommy."
The little guy can't speak yet, but he knows how to smile at Gu Zhiyao, which melts her heart. She takes him and hugs him.
"I never expected that Young Master He would be so capable of taking care of children. He learns so quickly. He's the best dad I've ever met!" Sister Qiu said.
Gu Zhiyao stiffened slightly and remained silent.
"With Young Master He helping to keep an eye on things from now on, you can relax a bit more," Sister Qiu continued.
Gu Zhiyao raised her head and smiled gently at Sister Qiu.
Later, she got up, went out to eat, and walked around the room.
Unexpectedly, He Yi returned at noon.
It's the weekend, and he took Chenchen and Niuniu out to play. Niuniu was holding a large bouquet of gardenias and ran straight to Gu Zhiyao, saying, "Mommy, these are for you!"
Gu Zhiyao's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly took it, "Thank you, Niu Niu!"
“You’re welcome. Dad picked them. He said they’re Mom’s favorite flowers and he wanted to bring them back for her,” Niu Niu said.
Gu Zhiyao was taken aback. Just then, He Yi walked in, and Niu Niu called out again, "Daddy, I've already given the flowers to Mommy. Mommy is so happy, and she said Daddy is so nice."
Uh—Gu Zhiyao frowned and glared at the little girl.
Where did she learn this habit of fabricating stories? She never said those last words!
He Yi's gaze quickly turned to Gu Zhiyao, burning like fire. Gu Zhiyao felt even more uncomfortable. She got out of bed and put the flowers in the vase.
Niu Niu ran over to help her. Because some of the flower branches were too long, Niu Niu used her hands to break them. Gu Zhiyao was afraid that she would hurt her hands, so she asked her to bring scissors. The mother and daughter then worked on the flowers diligently.
"Wow, it's so beautiful!" The little girl clapped her hands with delight as she looked at the finished product. She turned to He Yi and asked, "Daddy, are we going to pick more tomorrow? You said you were planning to plant a patch of gardenias in our garden. When will you start? If we have them, we won't have to go so far to pick them! Then Mommy can go to the garden to admire the flowers every day."
"Okay, Dad will arrange it as soon as possible!" He Yi said gently, glancing at Gu Zhiyao.
You can imagine how heartwarming the lunch scene was. The old lady had someone bring the baby to the dining room as well, and the whole family was happy, chatting and laughing.
After dinner, He Yi stayed with Chenchen and Niu Niu in the bedroom. The old lady came to Gu Zhiyao's room, took Gu Zhiyao's hand, and said, "Since Ayi's parents passed away, Grandma has never seen such a warm and beautiful scene. Ayao, Grandma wants to thank you for giving Grandma the opportunity to relive such a scene. Looking at Chenchen and Niu Niu, Grandma thought of Ayi and Xixi when they were little. It feels like everything was just yesterday."
Seeing the old man's eyes brimming with tears, Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but tear up as well.
She could understand the old lady's feelings.
He Yi's parents died young, and the old lady must have suffered an incredibly heavy blow back then. The reason she has been able to live well all these years is because He Yi and his siblings have been supporting her.
Therefore, this scene tonight is truly precious to the old lady.
“Grandma, you’re welcome. As long as you want, we can have scenes like this often in the future,” Gu Zhiyao couldn’t help but say.
"Really? Okay, Grandma understands. Anyway, thank you, Yao!" The old lady paused, wiped away her tears, and continued, "Grandma understands how you feel. I don't expect you to forgive Yi right now, but I still hope you can give each other a chance. I heard that Yi stayed here all night, and even fed and played with Xiaobao with Qiu in the middle of the night. Yao, Grandma hopes you won't close your heart all at once, and you won't object to Yi coming over. Let things take their course, okay? Grandma knows it's difficult for you, but Grandma really..."
The old lady couldn't help but burst into tears again as she spoke.
"Grandma, please don't be like this." Gu Zhiyao quickly helped her up, pondered for a moment, and said, "Okay, Grandma, I promise you, please don't cry, don't be sad."
"Yes, thank you, Yao. You are such a good child. Grandma feels very happy."
Gu Zhiyao smiled awkwardly.
The old lady will go out first.
The nanny followed the old lady out, and after they reached the door, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Madam, you brought Miss Zhiyao back here to recuperate after childbirth, not only to help her recover as quickly as possible, but also to create opportunities for Young Master He, is that right?"
The old lady paused for a moment, then said, "I've given him the chance. Whether he succeeds or not depends on his fate!"
