In This Life, I Will Extremely Pamper My Short-Lived Husband-Chapter 225: Finally Seeing My Own Daughter

The nurse provided some basic information, but Xie Yanchuan seemed not to have heard any of it, his only knowledge that the baby was all right, before he focused all his attention on the newborn.

He watched the squalling and somewhat ugly-looking child as tears spilled from his eyes.

This was the child from his past life whom he never got to meet!

"Come, Daddy, hold the baby for a moment," the nurse said with a smile.

Even without the memories of his previous life, this life’s Xie Yanchuan, who was already not new to fatherhood, still felt somewhat clumsy when he stretched out his hands to hold Sui Sui.

The nurse corrected Xie Yanchuan’s position with a smile, then placed the baby in the man’s arms.

"Don’t cry, Sui Sui, Daddy’s here," Xie Yanchuan whispered gently.

The little one, who had been wailing, seemed to understand somehow and really began to stop crying gradually, his face still streaked with tears, looking pitiful.

Seeing this, Xie Yanchuan smiled; this was Sui Sui, his and Jinzhi’s child.

But Xie Yanchuan hadn’t held the baby long when the nurse reminded him that the baby needed to be taken for an examination.

Although Xie Yanchuan was reluctant to let go of Sui Sui, compared to Xu Jinzhi, Xu Jinzhi was more important.

Thus, the task of accompanying Sui Sui for the check-up fell to the family elders, while Xie Yanchuan continued to wait outside the operating room for Xu Jinzhi.

Until Xu Jinzhi was brought out, Xie Yanchuan immediately went up to meet her, seeing her lying weakly and even somewhat disheveled on the hospital bed, he felt nothing but heartache.

"You’ve worked hard," Xie Yanchuan said as he leaned down to kiss Xu Jinzhi.

Xu Jinzhi was groggy at that moment, she seemed to see Xie Yanchuan, but she really had no strength to speak.

Once back in the ward, Xie Yanchuan carried Xu Jinzhi onto the bed, and after the nurses had settled everything, they left the room.

"How do you feel? Is it very uncomfortable?" Xie Yanchuan asked softly.

Xu Jinzhi was in discomfort, but she knew it was just the normal unease after childbirth, so she shook her head to signify that there was nothing wrong.

Xie Yanchuan wanted to say something else but stopped when he saw Xu Jinzhi’s chapped and peeling lips; he immediately stopped talking and went to pour some warm water.

Since it was difficult for Xu Jinzhi to get up, Xie Yanchuan used a straw to help her drink water.

After Xu Jinzhi had drunk some water, her lips still a little dry, Xie Yanchuan dipped a cotton swab into the water and gently wiped her lips.

Because it was a natural birth, Xu Jinzhi’s recovery would be quicker, and she already had the strength to speak now, the first thing she asked was, "How’s Sui Sui?"

"He’s having a check-up, once that’s done, he can be brought over," Xie Yanchuan hurriedly responded.

Unlike with Tuantuan back then, all of Sui Sui’s previous checks had showed no problems; having been a full-term birth, there was no need for an incubator, and he could be brought over once the routine check-up was finished.

Xu Jinzhi breathed a sigh of relief; although she had heard the doctor say the baby was fine while still in the delivery room, her heart was still in her mouth at that time.

In a little while, He Shuying and the others had already brought Sui Sui back, who was now crying loudly; He Shuying said, "The baby is hungry."

Xu Jinzhi had already decided from the start that she was going to breastfeed, so He Shuying quickly placed the crying Sui Sui next to Xu Jinzhi.

Since it was time to feed the baby, the elders all left, leaving only Xie Yanchuan still in the ward accompanying Xu Jinzhi.

Actually, Xu Jinzhi still felt a bit embarrassed, but after looking at Xie Yanchuan, she ultimately didn’t say anything, letting him stay in the ward.

Xu Jinzhi’s attention quickly shifted to Sui Sui, who was eagerly eating her meal with grunts and snorts.

Just like Sui Sui from the last lifetime, she couldn’t help but curve her lips into a smile.

A moment later, Xu Jinzhi looked at Xie Yanchuan beside her, "This is our daughter."

"Mm," Xie Yanchuan nodded, "I see her."

After what seemed like an indefinite period of time, he finally met his daughter.

Xu Jinzhi’s voice was somewhat hoarse as she said, "I never got to meet you last time, and it’s always been Sui Sui’s regret."

"I’m sorry," Xie Yanchuan said.

Xu Jinzhi shook her head, "She never blamed you, and this time, you’ll be with her, right?"

Xie Yanchuan nodded, "Yes."

Tears uncontrollably welled up in her eyes as Xu Jinzhi attempted to force a smile, but the expression was frankly quite ugly.

Xie Yanchuan sat down beside the bed and leaned over to kiss Xu Jinzhi, "This is a happy occasion, don’t cry; it’s bad for your eyes."

Once Sui Sui was full and asleep, Xu Jinzhi’s emotions had also stabilized, and that was when Xie Yanchuan went out to let the elders come in.

Knowing that Sui Sui was asleep, they were all extremely careful, afraid to accidentally wake her.

"Jinzhi, here is some soup the family made, would you like some now?" He Shuying offered the thermos she was holding.

Since Xu Jinzhi had a natural birth, she could already eat, and feeling hungry, she couldn’t help but nod.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Jinzhi suggested, "You haven’t eaten either; why don’t you go back for today?"

Xie Yanchuan checked the time and agreed, "I can take care of Jinzhi here."

He Shuying and the others naturally couldn’t stay there all the time, and since they couldn’t help much, they agreed to leave.

The Xie Family left first, and Xu Zhen was still in the hospital room, not yet departed. Father and daughter exchanged glances, and Xu Zhen casually asked, "Have you decided on a name for Sui Sui?"

Speaking of this, one couldn’t help but mention the matter of Sui Sui bearing the surname Xu.

However, Xu Zhen was patient and had never asked until now, when he couldn’t help but ask.

Xu Jinzhi couldn’t help wanting to smile, "Yes, I’ve decided."

"What is it?" Xu Zhen asked.

Yet the look in Xu Jinzhi’s eyes carried a weight of meaning as if to say that if her answer didn’t satisfy him, he wouldn’t let the matter rest!

"Xu Yanxi," said Xu Jinzhi.

Hearing the surname Xu, Xu Zhen couldn’t help but want to smile, but in the end, he restrained himself and continued to ask, "Which ’yan’ and which ’xi’?"

"Xie Yanchuan’s ’Yan’, and ’Xi’ as in the ’Xi’ with the water radical, the same meaning as Tuantuan’s ’Huai’," Xu Jinzhi explained.

Hearing Xu Jinzhi say ’Yan’ was Xie Yanchuan’s ’Yan’, Xu Zhen couldn’t help but roll his eyes, thinking it overbearing to be force-fed this display of affection at his age.

But considering that Tuantuan’s name also included a character from Xu Jinzhi’s name, Xu Zhen had little to say, especially since he cared about the surname in the first place.

So regarding Sui Sui’s name, Xu Zhen expressed his satisfaction.
