Lu Shaoming placed Little Young Master Lu, who was fast asleep, beside Ning Qing, then covered them with a blanket. After that, he lay down by Ning Qing’s side.

He stretched out his hand to tease Little Young Master Lu’s small face and lowered his gaze to look at the little girl who was fast asleep in his embrace. One of his elbows was placed vertically on Ning Qing’s waist, and he closed his eyes.

Song Yajing looked at the family of three squeezed together sleeping on the cramped hospital bed. Satisfaction shone in her eyes. She stretched out her hand to switch off the lights and only left a small yellow lamp on.

The next morning

Ning Qing felt a small thing moving around in her embrace, and she slowly opened her eyes.

She lowered her eyes to look; Little Young Master Lu was awake. He opened his eyes. Little Young Master Lu’s eyes were big and bright, just like black grapes. They were now turning around in circles, and his two tiny hands were trying to escape the mustard yellow blanket, flailing around in the air.

Ning Qing immediately broke out into a smile, and she rolled up the sleeves of Little Young Master Lu’s shirt, exposing his small yet chubby hands.

“Hi, Little Young Master Lu, are you awake now?” Ning Qing held onto his small hand, placed it by her lips, and kissed it. It was so fragrant — the milky scent of a new-born baby.

Little Young Master Lu did not know what Mama was talking about. When his big eyes found Mama: “Yiyiyaya,” he was calling out to her merrily.

Ning Qing’s eyes were full of gentleness.

At this moment, her waist tightened and the man behind her was awake.

It was only now that Ning Qing realized that the man had been sleeping behind her. His large palm was on her now-flat abdomen. He was protecting them and cherishing all of the hardships that she had gone through through.

The hospital bed was not big. The family of three were squeezed together with him pressed tightly against her. His embrace was really warm. Being held by him, she could pick up his masculine scent.

He kissed her small face and said, “You are awake!”

The man’s voice was a little hoarse as he had just awoken, and when Ning Qing heard it, she thought it was absolutely sexy.

“I am.” Ning Qing’s small face was slightly red.

Lu Shaoming supported her head with his elbow. He straightened his body slightly, and a little bit of the morning sun shone into the room, illuminating the girl’s small face that was white with red peaking through it. Upon further inspection, the girl looked different from usual, probably because she was now a mother. Her delicate features were gentle, and would make others’ hearts melt.

Ning Qing’s small hand was still holding onto Little Young Master Lu’s tiny hand. Lu Shaoming stretched out his hand to take both mother and son’s hands into his palm, and he bent by her ear to softly whisper, “Wifey, the Little Young Master Lu you’ve given birth to for me is really beautiful. I like him very much.”

Ning Qing’s heart felt like it had been smothered with a layer of honey, and she smiled sweetly.

Little Young Master Lu was still playing around happily. Based on his instinct, he had a sniff of where his mother was smelling fragrant. His small head planted itself directly on Ning Qing’s chest, and he started nudging her.

Ning Qing felt itchy and gurgled in laughter.

Lu Shaoming frowned and used one finger to tease Little Young Master Lu’s pitiful chin, then pushed him further away. With a serious tone, he said, “Little Young Master Lu, be a little more proper. Where are you nudging? That is Daddy’s place.”

Ning Qing looked at him immediately. As she glanced at him, she was obviously displeased. “What are you talking about?”

He was a father now, yet he was still so improper!

Lu Shaoming gently looked at her and knitted his handsome eyebrows. “Could it be not the case?”

Ning Qing had nothing to say, so she hit him.

Lu Shaoming allowed her to hit him, and he looked at her with passionately hot eyes.

Ning Qing could not take his gaze. As she sat there without a clue of how to respond, Yue Wanqing’s voice rang out from outside the door.

“Mum is here, quick go away.” Ning Qing took the opportunity to push him away.

Lu Shaoming did not fool around. He got off of the bed slowly and straightened his posture.

Yue Wanqing walked inside and said, “Qingqing, you are awake! Shaoming, you have been here throughout the night. Go home to have shower and change into a new set of clothes before coming back. I will be here to accompany Qingqing.”

“Okay.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head, and he looked at Ning Qing who was on the bed. “I’ll go clean up.”

“Okay.” Ning Qing nodded her head.

When Lu Shaoming returned, it was already the mid-afternoon. He stood by the door to have a look. Yue Wanqing was holding Little Young Master Lu and playing with him, and the confinement nanny was serving the types of vegetables, some soup, and some fruit as a confinement meal.

He walked inside and said, “Mum, I will carry Little Young Master Lu.”

“Sure.” Yue Wanqing passed Little Young Master Lu, who was in her embrace, over to Lu Shaoming. Her son-in-law seemed to like children. “Qingqing fed Little Young Master Lu with milk just now. Little Young Master Lu is full. You carry him horizontally, and help burp him by patting his back,” she told him softly.

She had fed him milk?

Lu Shaoming carried Little Young Master Lu took a glance at Ning Qing.

As Ning Qing was taking spoonfuls of soup, she felt his gaze, so she directly channelled her gaze downwards and did not bother about him.

Yue Wanqing and the confinement nanny exited the room and left some space for the family of three.

Ning Qing was eating her meal. She lifted her gaze to look at the man. He was carrying Little Young Master Lu in his arms. The soft, tiny body was perched on his father’s handsome shoulder, and the man’s large broad palm was patting Little Young Master Lu’s back. He controlled his strength well, and Little Young Master Lu let his head down and fell asleep.

He had changed into a new set of clothes. He was wearing a clean white shirt and black trousers. When he had first entered the room, he draped his back suit jacket over the back of the chair.

After a bath, his fatigue was washed away, and his entire being was young and handsome again.

Ning Qing lowered her gaze to eat her meal. Lu Shaoming saw that Little Young Master Lu was asleep, and he placed him in the baby cot.

He placed one hand into his pocket while he sat beside Ning Qing and softly asked, “Does it still hurt?”

The confinement nanny had just told her that Little Young Master Lu cried endlessly last night. He did not bear to wake her up, and he fed Little Young Master Lu using formula powder.

The confinement nanny still teased her, saying that she had never seen such a man who would love his wife more than his own son.

She lowered her gaze and shook her head. “It doesn’t hurt.”

Lu Shaoming stretched out his hand to touch her small face, and with a smile, he asked, “What is wrong? How come you don’t even dare to lift your head to look at me after giving birth to our son? It’s not as if I eat humans!”

His calloused index finger caressed her smooth skin and made her small face feel hot.

“No.” Ning Qing tried to keep calm, and she pointed towards the plate of kelp. “It is just that I do not want to eat this.”

“Does it taste bad?” he asked.

Ning Qing used her chopsticks to pick a piece of kelp to bring it to his lips.”You give it a try.”

Lu Shaoming opened his mouth to have a bite, then said, “It tastes fine.”

“Really?” Why did she not enjoy it? She picked another piece of kelp and brought it to his lips. “Then you have this then.”

Lu Shaoming knitted his eyebrows and opened his mouth to eat.

Ning Qing lowered her gaze and continued to eat, but he suddenly cupped her tiny, palm-sized face. He blocked her red lips. She did not have the time to react. Her teeth lost control, and he placed a tiny piece of kelp inside her mouth.

“Woo!” Ning Qing let out a sound, and the man let go of her. But he did not leave. He was situated very close to her and said, “You are not allowed to be picky with food. Have a taste and swallow it.”

Her small face was still inside his palm. She did not know what he was thinking about, engaging in the act of feeding her.

Ning Qing chewed a few times, then swallowed it.

“Is it good?” he asked.

Ning Qing stretched out her small hand to push his large palm away. “Umm, it’s delicious.”

The girl looked obedient and gentle. Lu Shaoming looked at her moist red lips, and he took out the large hand that he had placed inside his trouser pockets. He held onto the bed for support while he used another hand to weave through the back of her head to hold onto her small face. He was stable as he held her and gave her a kiss.

“Woo…” Ning Qing’s small hand was still firmly holding the soup spoon, and she hurriedly leaned her head against his shoulder.

Song Yajing and Yue Wanqing met one another in the corridor. They were chatting merrily as they pushed the door open and walked inside.

They had a clear look at what was going on in the room. Both of them were on the bed, and they were closing their eyes to kiss passionately. They were not even aware of their mothers’ entry.

“Shaoming,” Song Yajing said immediately. “What are you doing?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shaoming opened his eyes and let go of the girl in his embrace, then he stood up.

“Shaoming, Qingqing is in her confinement period now. This is not a joke! No matter how much you want it, you cannot bully her now. How are you a husband and a person’s father?” Song Yajing said with displeasure.

Ning Qing was extremely embarrassed as she said, “Mum…”

Lu Shaoming stuck one hand in his pocket. He swallowed his saliva, and he felt that this situation was pretty awkward. His own wife had just entered her confinement period, and he was already unable to control himself.

After kissing her, he was caught red handed.

Yue Wanqing also shook her head and said, “Qingqing, you two cannot fool around. Your body belongs to you yourself! Control yourselves for a while; one month will fly by.”

“Exactly. Shaoming, this is your fault.”

Ning Qing was sitting on the bed while Lu Shaoming was standing up, and the two mothers lectured them for a long time regarding this embarrassing topic.

“Mum!” Lu Shaoming couldn’t stand it anymore, and his expressions looked glum.

Song Yajing dropped it and made a conclusion. “Forget it. I think that Shaoming is not self-aware. In this one month, you two will sleep separately, and Qingqing will focus on completing her confinement period.”

Ning Qing and Little Young Master Lu went back to the Tea Pavilion Villa. The confinement nanny and the two mothers supervised her during the entire confinement period, and Little Young Master Lu was growing up healthily.

Lu Shaoming went to the office every day, but he would return home very early. Mother would not allow him to step inside the bedroom, and he could only stand at the side of the door to look at Ning Qing. He carried Little Young Master Lu in his arms, and he saw Little Young Master Lu grow bigger and bigger day by day. He felt that his heart was full.

One day, there was a sudden problem with Guang Qing’s oil refinery project in Hong Kong, and Lu Shaoming needed to go on a business trip.

Before he left on his business trip, he in the hall and knocked on Ning Qing’s door.

Ning Qing opened the door. She had not seen this man for half a month, and she missed him too. He was dressed formally. He was wearing a light blue shirt matched with a business vest. His figure was handsome and built.

Ning Qing looked around her surroundings. “Where is Mum?” she asked with a red face.

She was afraid that Mum would see the two of them meeting one another secretly, and she was going to chide them again.

“It’s nothing. Mum agreed to this. I have come to look at you. Ning Qing, I am going to Hong Kong on a business trip, and I might not be back until two weeks from now.”

“Half a month?” Ning Qing was taken aback. This business trip was so long.

She frowned, and she did not know if it was because he spent a lot of time with her, but she always felt that him leaving on a business trip this time would end up in him involved in some incident. The woman’s sixth sense was not picking up anything good.

“Yes.” Lu Shaoming nodded his head. He gently leaned against the side of the door. One hand was in his pocket while he was looking at her small face. These past few days, she had been nourished well, and her small face was getting more and more smooth and supple.

He looked at her pajamas. She had already regained her figure. The loose pyjamas could not hide her small waist that was narrow like a porcelain vase’s opening; it was 20 inches.

“Ning Qing, in a few days, won’t we have passed the one-month mark?” he asked.

The man’s gaze was bright and Ning Qing bit down on her bottom lip with her white teeth. She nodded her head shyly. “Yeah.”

Lu Shaoming stretched out his hand to touch her small face, and his index finger caressed her skin lovingly. He bent down and kissed her red lips. His voice was deep and low as he said, “Wifey, wait for me to return.”

Ning Qing slowly stretched out her small hand to embrace his strong waist. “Okay, Hubby. I will wait for you.”

Lu Shaoming went away on his business trip, and half a month passed.
