Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Did he just have a look of disdain for me?
After the New Year, Qin Suxin’s belly visibly swelled up like a balloon.
Apart from walking the dog every day, Shen Zhaozhao picked up a new hobby—talking to the little one in Qin Suxin’s tummy.
Her reasoning was simple:
Once the baby got used to her voice, he or she would be close to her after being born.
Aside from chatting with the second treasure in the belly, she also didn’t forget to instruct Ermao, “Ermao, when Aunt Suxin’s baby is born, you’ll have to be a big brother. You are a well-behaved and sensible little dog, so you need to learn to take care of your little brother or sister.”
As a result, Ermao would perk up his ears whenever he heard “little brother” or “little sister.”
In April, Qin Suxin finally went into labor. Because it was her second child, the delivery was exceptionally quick—just one hour from the time she was taken to the hospital to when the baby was born.
People didn’t even have time to worry before the little one was brought out.
“Congratulations, it’s a boy, six pounds and eight ounces,” the doctor said with a smile as he handed the child to Mr. Sheng.
In fact, both Sheng Yan Cheng and Qin Suxin had hoped for a daughter this time, and a flicker of disappointment crossed Mr. Sheng’s face when he learned it was a son.
He had envied the Shen family next door for over a decade and thought that this time he would get his wish.
But a son was good too. After all, raising a son is less worrying.
Boys, as long as they don’t starve, they’re fine!
“Yiyi, you have a little brother now. Yiyi, I’m going to be a big sister!” Shen Zhaozhao was probably the happiest of all.
Being an only child in both families, she had long envied others who had siblings.
Even though it was Aunt Suxin who gave birth, the baby was also her little brother.
“Hmm!” Sheng Chuyi seemed quite indifferent, not nearly as excited as her parents were when they first brought Ermao home.
Suddenly remembering something, Shen Zhaozhao said, “Right, Yiyi, have you guys thought of a name for the second treasure? How about we help name him together?”
Thinking of Ermao’s name, Sheng Chuyi’s expression suddenly became hard to decipher.
With her parents’ affection for this girl, they might actually entrust her with an important matter like naming.
As siblings after all, Sheng Chuyi stayed silent for a moment before speaking up, “I think my parents have already chosen a name!”
“Okay then!” Not being able to participate in naming the second treasure, Shen Zhaozhao felt quite disappointed.
But the disappointment was fleeting as she quickly got distracted by the baby in the swaddle.
Waving to Sheng Chuyi, she said, “Yiyi, come take a look, the second treasure can open his eyes now.”
The newborn baby seemed to hear Shen Zhaozhao’s voice and actually looked in her direction.
Shen Zhaozhao immediately got excited, tugging Sheng Chuyi’s hand and saying, “Yiyi, look, he seems to hear me talking, does he recognize my voice?”
Who knew that before she even finished speaking, the next second, the baby in the swaddle furrowed his brow and shifted his gaze away.
The smile on Shen Zhaozhao’s face froze, “Did he just make a face at me?” After all, they had bonded through the belly for months; the little guy was really not giving her any respect.
“What nonsense are you talking about?” As she finished her sentence, she was smacked by Zhaozhao’s mother standing nearby.
“Newborns can’t see clearly yet.”
Shen Zhaozhao reached out to gently poke the baby’s soft cheek and said, “It’s okay if you can’t see clearly, you just need to remember my voice. I’m your lovable Sister Zhao Zhao, adored by all.”
Sheng Chuyi: “Is it possible that he thinks you were too noisy talking by his ear every day before? Maybe he couldn’t help making that face when he heard your voice?”
You heartless creature!!!
