The 99th Divorce

Chapter 1945: Yu Lili’s Happiness

Ou Huojing came in with two thermos bottles, which seemed to be quite heavy.

Qiao Ziqing was right in front of him. She glanced at her baby granddaughter, and a giant smile blossomed across her face. “Ah, she’s such a beautiful girl,” she said. “She looks like her father and her mother.”

But the baby’s face was turning pink from crying, and her little hands and feet were swaying about.

The baby kept crying, and Qiao Ziqing became even happier after hearing her. “You need to drink some soup quickly,” she said. “The baby’s hungry.”

Ou Huojing put some food on the table. Ou Ming went up to open the lid, and then he served his wife some soup.

Yu Lili felt weak. She was partly leaning on the edge of the bed and didn’t want to move at all. “I don’t have an appetite,” she said.

“No, you have to drink some soup.” Qiao Ziqing’s tone was firm and non-negotiable. “A woman’s body is particularly weak after giving birth. If you don’t drink some, it’ll cause you problems later. Listen, you need to regain your energy and go to sleep. You’ll recover faster.”

Yu Lili pursed her lips. She took the fish soup from Ou Ming’s hands and took a sip.

She didn’t know if it was psychological or what, but she didn’t feel hungry before. But now, after she drank the soup, she started to feel hungry.

Qiao Ziqing looked at her and said, “You also need to eat some fish and other nutritious dishes for your own sake.”

“Um… Mom, did you forget to put salt in it again?” Yu Lili held the bowl in her hands and continued drinking. Its taste became more and more bland. “It’s so plain.”

“You can’t eat salt now.” Qiao Ziqing held the baby and said, “Oh, I’ll go to the nurse and ask for some milk. Please hurry up. You’ll need to feed the baby some milk soon.”

Yu Lili’s expression was sour. “Or I can just feed my baby directly. Isn’t breast milk more nutritious for the baby?”

“Then you would need to be able to produce milk. I’m afraid you’re not capable of that at the moment.” Qiao Ziqing held the baby and went out of the room.

Mother Zhang had gone back home a long time ago. Ou Huojing looked at the time and said, “It’s quite late already. Ou Ming, you stay here to take care of your wife, and I’ll ask Aunt Qing to come here to look after her later. After staying in the hospital for a few days, you can go back home. Your mother isn’t in good health, so I’m going to take her home now.”

Ou Ming: “…”

“Hmm.” Yu Lili drank some soup and nodded. “Okay. Ask Aunt Qing to come here quickly, Dad. I don’t think Ou Ming can handle it. I’m not sure he’ll be able to take care of me well.”

“Good.” Ou Huojing looked at Yu Lili and smiled kindly. “You’ve done a good job.”

Yu Lili felt a little embarrassed and said, “That’s what women have to do…”

“We’re leaving now. Take care of your wife.” Ou Huojing patted Ou Ming on the shoulder. “I don’t need you to come into work these next few days. If I can’t manage something, I’ll pass it onto you.”

“But Dad, there are a lot of things you can’t manage!”

“No respect for elders.” Ou Huojing glared at him, but then he chuckled and said, “Go to bed early.”

“Good night, Dad,” Yu Lili waved.

A nurse came in and commented, “Your energy levels are pretty good. How are you feeling? Do you feel any discomfort?”

…

The nurse did a simple examination, then left, and Qiao Ziqing came in with the baby in her arms.

The baby was fast asleep.

“I bought a breast pump so you can pump milk and give it to the baby later.”

“All right, mom.”

“The nurse specialist will come in later. But you need to take good care of the baby. I asked Aunt Qing to come. She’ll be here later.”

“Good, Mom.”

“By the way, Lili…”

After Qiao Ziqing gave her a long list of things to do, and was certain there wasn’t anything else left to explain, she turned around and left.
