But she discovered that Shen Yi and the others hadn’t prepared any formula milk, and she didn’t know if it was because they hadn’t had the chance to get it ready yet, or if it was for some other reason.
However, Shen Yi and his family had prepared everything else well in advance, so if they had really planned on using formula, it shouldn’t have been overlooked.
Ye Wanwan hurriedly said, "Zhouzhou needs to be breastfed."
Back when Zhouzhou was eight months old, he had started weaning off breast milk. But Zhouzhou didn’t like formula; when they first tried to get him to drink it, he outright refused, crying and fussing constantly.
At that time, it had taken a very long time before they successfully weaned Zhouzhou off breast milk.
Plus, breastfeeding is good for the baby’s health, and naturally, Ye Wanwan wanted to do the best she could for Zhouzhou.
"Do you have milk now?" Su Xiangyi asked while looking towards Ye Wanwan’s chest as she spoke.
Ye Wanwan noticed Su Xiangyi’s gaze, as well as Shen Yi’s, and for a moment, she forgot all about her recent guilt towards Zhouzhou, instead blushing and feeling rather embarrassed.
Ye Wanwan said nothing, thankful that the two dads weren’t there. Otherwise, she truly would have wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
The atmosphere in the sickroom was awkward for a moment, and then Su Xiangyi, looking at Shen Yi with a laugh, said, "What’s there to be embarrassed about?"
Lin Xu also realized what they were discussing in front of Shen Yi and quickly said, "Wanwan is still young, and it’s her first time being a mother, so it’s normal for her to be embarrassed!"
But Lin Xu added, "If you’re really going to breastfeed, why don’t you drink some pig’s trotter soup?"
Ye Wanwan looked up at Lin Xu without saying anything, leading Lin Xu to think that Ye Wanwan didn’t understand these things, so she explained, "Pig’s trotter soup can help with milk production."
Ye Wanwan actually did know, and she quickly nodded to show she agreed.
Lin Xu then brought over a bowl of pig’s trotter soup, and Shen Yi moved the sleeping Zhouzhou into the baby crib beside them, supporting Ye Wanwan as she sat up.
"Let me do it," Shen Yi said as he took the bowl of pig’s trotter soup from Lin Xu’s hands, feeding Ye Wanwan carefully.
Just as Ye Wanwan finished the soup, and the atmosphere in the sickroom was getting pleasant, the previously quietly sleeping Zhouzhou suddenly started crying.
This sudden cry startled everyone in the room, and all attention shifted to the baby immediately.
Shen Yi went over and picked up Zhouzhou, whose loud crying had turned his cheeks red. He looked at Lin Xu and Su Xiangyi, somewhat at a loss for what to do.
Su Xiangyi said, "Is he hungry?"
At these words, everyone turned to look at Ye Wanwan, who seemed a bit dazed and unsure of what to do.
"Then give Zhouzhou to me," Ye Wanwan said, reaching out her hand to signal for Shen Yi to hand the baby over to her.
Shen Yi quickly passed Zhouzhou to Ye Wanwan, and to spare Ye Wanwan from embarrassment, he also quickly turned away, very gentlemanly avoiding looking at her.
Ye Wanwan felt a little flustered but tried to recall her experience from her past life as much as possible, and she began to breastfeed the baby.
Once Zhouzhou started feeding, he really quieted down instantly, and soon the only sound in the sickroom was Zhouzhou smacking his lips.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Ye Wanwan had already forgotten her embarrassment by then, looking down at Zhouzhou relishing his meal in her arms with a face full of happy smiles.
She couldn’t help but reach out and gently poke Zhouzhou’s tiny cheek.
