Chapter 178: of Obedient Babies

Chapter 178

The next morning, when Luo Ge woke up and opened her eyes, she saw Gu Jinchen lying by the bedside.

He seemed to have stayed up very late and was in a deep sleep.

Seeing this, Luo Ge turned her head slightly to look at the small cribs beside the bed. All the children were awake but unexpectedly well-behaved, not making any fuss.

They were just kicking their little legs and waving their tiny hands, appearing to be in good spirits.

Her loved one by her side, children nearby.

Looking at this scene, Luo Ge couldn't help but smile gently, a wave of contentment and happiness washing over her heart.

"Darling! You're awake!"

However, just these small movements from her were enough to startle the sensitive Gu Jinchen awake.

Seeing Luo Ge awake, his eyes were full of delight.

"How are you feeling? Are you hungry? I made some meat porridge earlier and asked Qiu Niang to watch over it. Do you feel like eating some now? I'll go get some for you."

He had slept very late last night, but worried that Luo Ge might be hungry when she woke up today, he had roused himself from a half-sleep to go to the kitchen and make porridge.

Afraid that Luo Ge might wake and not see him, he had it prepared, asked Qiu Niang to keep it warm, and hurried back. Seeing that Luo Ge was still asleep, he had dozed off while watching over her.

Yesterday, after giving birth, she had fallen asleep from exhaustion.

Having eaten only a little before labor until now, Luo Ge was naturally hungry.

But seeing his tired appearance, clearly having stayed up for a long time without proper rest, she couldn't bear to let him exert himself further.

"Let Qiu Niang help, you should rest for a while."

"It's no trouble, I can't sleep now anyway. I'll be right back."

Just seeing Luo Ge awake seemed to energize Gu Jinchen. Without waiting for Luo Ge to say anything more, he turned and left.

He returned shortly with plenty of food. Besides the porridge, there were some of Luo Ge's favorite breakfast items, as well as warm water and a cloth.

Qiu Niang and the wet nurses followed behind him.

Ignoring the others who had entered, Gu Jinchen immediately handed Luo Ge some water, letting her freshen up a bit, then used the warm, damp cloth to wipe her face.

Then he brought over the food, selecting items Luo Ge might want and offering them to her.

"The porridge is warm, not too thick. Try it and see if you like it." Saying this, he fed Luo Ge a taste. Seeing that she enjoyed it, he continued to feed her.

Perhaps truly hungry, Luo Ge ate quite a bit. Before long, she had finished two bowls of porridge and eaten many other things as well.

Only after she was full did Gu Jinchen quickly finish the leftovers.

They had been interacting like this since the late stages of pregnancy, and she had grown accustomed to it. She didn't even react at first.

When she finished and turned her head to see Qiu Niang and the others' teasing expressions, she was taken aback and her face reddened slightly.

She had forgotten others were present.

"Ahem, Qiu Niang, Mei Yun, have you all had breakfast?" She coughed awkwardly and asked.

The two who were addressed both nodded: "We have, we have. We're quite full now."

Hmm, she suspected they had mastered a certain modern commonly used phrase, but she had no proof.

The porridge Gu Jinchen had made used spring water from his spatial ability, and after drinking it, Luo Ge's condition noticeably improved.

Perhaps due to the effect of the spring water, even though this was Luo Ge's first child, her milk came in quickly.

After eating her fill and looking at the well-behaved children, she asked Gu Jinchen to help bring them over, preparing to nurse them.

Seeing this, Gu Jinchen felt it inappropriate to remain in the room and excused himself.

"The young masters and misses are truly well-behaved. Though they like to move about, they don't cry or fuss."

Nursing the babies, Luo Ge as a first-time mother inevitably needed some guidance, but the little ones became exceptionally good once in her arms.

They drank their milk obediently, their tiny faces endearing beyond words.

Seeing this, Mei Yun also smiled and said that truly, such well-behaved children were rare in her experience.

Don't be fooled by how small newborns are, she said. Like her own two, though small, their cries could really give you a headache, so fussy.

Hearing this, Luo Ge smiled, her eyes full of tender light as she looked at the children.

The babies were indeed very good. After eating their fill, they grasped Luo Ge's fingers, interacting with her briefly before all falling asleep peacefully.

This was the scene Lady Qian saw when she entered with Gu Jinchen to visit Luo Ge.

Looking at the little baby sleeping quietly in the middle crib, she was lost in thought for a long while, as if recalling something from the past.

When Nuo Nuo was small, she had been just as well-behaved, sleeping contentedly after eating without any fuss.

"Lady Qian?"

The wet nurse had helped Luo Ge feed the children and then left. Luo Ge's milk supply was quite adequate, and she was able to feed all the newborns, who didn't need much at this stage.

The wet nurse, having recently given birth to her second child, needed to return to feed her own baby after ensuring all was well with Luo Ge's family.

Seeing that Lady Qian had entered with Gu Jinchen but remained silent, staring at their baby girl, Luo Ge gently called out to her.

"Hmm?" Hearing Luo Ge's voice, Lady Qian came back to herself and smiled at Luo Ge.

"I apologize for my rudeness just now. How are you feeling, young madam? Are you recovering well?"

Lady Qian had been worried about Luo Ge's condition after giving birth and had hurried over early this morning. Now, seeing Luo Ge's good complexion, she felt somewhat relieved.

"Yes, much better. Thank you for your concern, my lady."

Hearing Luo Ge's polite and courteous reply, Lady Qian opened her mouth, but in the end only smiled warmly at her.

Despite the thousands of words in her heart, at this moment, facing Luo Ge, she simply didn't know where to begin.

She could only silently persuade herself that now they had met, now that they were living under the same roof, there would be opportunities for everything. She must not be impatient.
