Chapter 1062 - It’s Only a Few Days Away!
Song Yao smiled and said, “I saw a post previously saying that all children, regardless of their gender, look like their fathers when they are just born. Do you know why?”
Lin Nuan shook her head.
“They say that it’s because a child’s mom is definitely their mom, but their dad might not be their dad. Therefore, the reason they look like their dad when they are just born is to tell their dad, ‘B*stard, I’m your child, so you must bring me up!’”
Lin Nuan broke out laughing from Song Yao’s words. She lowered her head and played with the child. Her heart almost melted when she saw the child opening his mouth and yawning. She got close to the baby and said in a soft voice, “Little darling, I’m your aunt!”
Cen Mo stood and looked at Lin Nuan and the baby, as well as the beaming Song Yao, who was on the bed. He now knew the feeling of happiness.
The baby looked at Lin Nuan with his eyes that were like black grapes, causing Lin Nuan to feel great motherly love. She took out the present she had prepared for him a long time ago…
“Little darling, this is the longevity charm that Aunt is giving you! Our little darling must lead a long life, enjoying riches and safety!” Lin Nuan swung the longevity charm in front of the baby and then placed it in the cradle.
Song Yao was a little surprised when she saw the longevity charm. “It’s too expensive!”
A small longevity charm wasn’t much, but Song Yao could tell that both sides of this charm had been embedded with diamonds and gemstones. A few months ago, Song Yao had seen in the news that a young prince was born to the British Royal Family. The university school mate of the prince’s father, who was now an extremely wealthy person in Switzerland, gave the newborn price a Chinese-style longevity charm!
The longevity charm was custom made and was embedded with gemstones and diamonds. It was extremely expensive. Back then, Song Yao was still lamenting on how beautiful that longevity charm was!
She hadn’t expected that Lin Nuan would give her child a golden pendant that looked exactly the same as the one in the news!
“He’s my nephew!” Lin Nuan pinched Song Yao’s face. “Other people all want to get things from their sis-in-law, but you… complain that the gift is too expensive!”
Lin Nuan had prepared such an expensive gift because this child was her birth brother’s son, and it was also because of Song Yao…
Back then, Lin Nuan had led a tough life after leaving the Lin family. Song Yao and Bai Xiaonian had been the ones to support her through those times! Moreover, their friendship was far closer than that of real sisters.
Lin Nuan didn’t tell Song Yao and Cen Mo that she had already prepared a gift for the child on behalf of their deceased parents. She intended to give them the present at the child’s one-month-old celebration!
“Xiaonian called me. She said that she was afraid that she’d disturb your rest, so she asked me to tell you that she prepared a gift for her godson, and to tell you not to despise the fact that the baby’s a boy! Even though it’s a baby boy, it’s still our precious darling!” Lin Nuan said to Song Yao.
How could Song Yao despise the baby? The one who did was clearly the baby’s father.
Lin Nuan looked over, following Song Yao’s gaze, smiling but not saying anything. She clenched Song Yao’s hand under the blanket. Song Yao knew that Lin Nuan was telling her that Cen Mo’s heart was aching for her.
On the way there, Lin Nuan had heard that Song Yao’s incised wound had been attended to by Cen Mo personally!
“Brother, has the child’s name been decided?” Lin Nuan looked up at Cen Mo.
Cen Mo was stunned. They hadn’t managed to decide on one…
When they had ultrasound tests done previously, they had been told that the baby was a girl, so they decided on the name for a baby girl a long time ago. However, he hadn’t expected for the baby to turn out to be a boy. Moreover, Cen Mo had his attention on taking care of Song Yao. They hadn’t even thought up a pet name for him.
“Not yet…” Cen Mo’s gaze landed on his son, who was blowing bubbles. He felt a little guilty about this.
How could he not love his flesh and blood? However, in front of the pain Song Yao was feeling, Cen Mo was really…
“Can I be the one to decide on the pet name?” Lin Nuan lowered her head and looked at the baby in the cradle, smiling as she said, “We’ll call him Lun Lun… Brother’s pet name!”
“Alright!” Song Yao nodded.
Cen Mo was stunned. He thought of the box of things Liang Mulan had gotten Lin Ran to bring over. In one of the books, Lin Nuan and Cen Mo’s birth father had written a few words…
There were only these few words: Lun Lun, where are you?
Their birth father knew that Lin Nuan was with the Lin family, so the pet name Lun Lun… must be Cen Mo’s.
Cen Mo looked at Lin Nuan and nodded. “Alright… we’ll call him Lun Lun.”
From the moment the child was born, it was as if there was hurdle after hurdle waiting for Song Yao to cross…
It wasn’t appropriate for Song Yao to continue staying in the Fu residence for her confinement. Therefore, she stayed in the place that Cen Mo had in Haicheng.
Cen Mo got Saihand to arrange for a professional nutritionist, a chef, a few nannies, and confinement ladies who would take care of Song Yao. Despite that, there was still some pain that Song Yao had to go through herself as a mother.
Song Yao insisted on breastfeeding her child. At first, she had gotten a blood blister from the baby’s sucking, and later on, there was chapping…
Later, Liang Mulan had personally made soup and brought it over. However, the night Song Yao drank the soup, her milk duct clogged up. She even broke out in a fever from the blockage. After Liang Mulan heard about it, she felt guilty. She hadn’t breastfed Lin Chen and Lin Ran after giving birth to them. Both Lin Chen and Lin Nuan grew up drinking formula milk. She had only wanted to help Song Yao nourish her body. She hadn’t expected the soup to stimulate milk secretion. When there was too much milk secreted, the milk ducts would clog up easily.
Anyway, Song Yao’s path of breastfeeding was very arduous.
Thankfully, Lun Lun’s constitution was great. He was fair and plump, neither having jaundice nor eczema. He would just eat and sleep every day. When he woke up, he would blow a bubble at his father, get some sunshine, and then assess the surroundings.
Cen Mo and Song Yao finally came to a decision for the child’s name on the day of his one-month-old celebration—Lu Bolun.
Lin Nuan privately took out a set of bangles and ruyi[1] and gave them to Song Yao. Song Yao tried to refuse the present, but Lin Nuan said that she was giving them to Lun Lun on her parents’ behalf. It was only then that Song Yao agreed to accept them.
On the day of Lu Bolun’s one-month-old celebration, not only had Old Master Lin and Old Madam Lin, as well as Liang Mulan and her husband, given big red packets and presents, even Lin Chen and Lin Ran had prepared gifts.
Tuan Tuan also gave his small car to the baby. Song Yao felt so happy that she couldn’t help but praise Tuan Tuan.
Seeing Lun Lun looking fair, plump, and extremely adorable, both Old Madam Lin and Liang Mulan couldn’t help but start nagging at Lin Chen. They said that Lin Chen and Cen Mo were good friends, but now, Cen Mo already had a child, while Lin Chen didn’t even have a girlfriend yet…
Lin Chen couldn’t put up with all the nagging. He picked up a call, then claimed that there were things that he had to attend to at work and left.
Lin Ran liked children to begin with. She looked at the fair and tender Lun Lun, feeling that he was extremely adorable. However, she didn’t dare to carry him. She felt that children who were just one month old were too soft and she was afraid that she’d drop him. Lin Nuan, who was going to be a mother soon herself, did a good job of carrying Lun Lun.
“How are things? When are you due for delivery?” Lin Ran asked Lin Nuan.
“It’ll be soon. The expected due date is in October. It’s only a few days away!” Lin Nuan put the sleeping Lun Lun back into the cradle.
All the people who were there to celebrate Lun Lun’s one-month-old birthday were family. Therefore, they didn’t eat outside. Liang Mulan was taking into consideration that Song Yao had just come out of confinement, as well as the fact that Lin Nuan was due for delivery soon. She was worried that outside food wouldn’t be clean. Therefore, she brought all the chefs over from the Lin residence, saying that they’d be eating at home.
