Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Drinking Soup

Zhang Minghua used to worry that her daughter wouldn’t have enough breast milk, based on her own experiences where food was scarce and it was normal not to have milk. But Yang Peimin’s situation was different; she had good food and sleep during her pregnancy and postpartum period. During her confinement, Zhang Minghua made sure Yang Peiying prepared various soups to help with lactation every day.

Lele was still small, and his appetite wasn’t big, so Yang Peimin often had to express and dispose of most of her milk.

Just then, seeing the man with a green gleam in his eye, she subconsciously lowered her clothes and turned to put the baby down on the bed.

Shen Yiguang came up from behind and embraced her, his voice tempting and enticing, “Honey…”

“Don’t mess around, it’s not okay yet.”

“Honey, honey… your confinement is over…”

“My mom said it’s easy to get sick this way, you better hold off for now…”

“We can’t have meat, but how about some soup?”

Damn, he’s still trying to negotiate?

Yang Peimin felt she had to stand firm. She thought if he broke the seal, he wouldn’t be able to stop. “Stop talking and go to sleep. Your child is still here, you know?”

Shen Yiguang had already moved closer, reaching to lift the clothing over her chest, “Our son isn’t eating; don’t let it go to waste…”

Yang Peimin exclaimed, “Shen Yiguang!” She couldn’t resist any longer, this man was unstoppable like a tiger leaping out of the mountains.

“Be gentle…”

Shen Yiguang was going crazy. It had been nearly a year since they last were intimate. This child hadn’t come easy, and before this, he hadn’t dared to be impulsive, settling for just kisses and holding hands.

He had watched his son breastfeeding many times, each time feeling a surge of emotions.

…

“Shen Yiguang, this isn’t right…”

“I know, I know, help me…”

“How can I help?”

“Just taste it…”

“No…”

Finally, Shen Yiguang got his fill and lay in bed, savoring the moment…

Yang Peimin got up to brush her teeth and rinse her mouth.

“Shen Yiguang, can you check if our son is asleep?”

“He is.”

When Yang Peimin lay back in bed, Shen Yiguang held her and asked, “How many months did your mom say?”

Yang Peimin rolled her eyes, annoyed that he was still thinking about it. “Three months, don’t make light of it; this is important to me…”

“I know, honey, we’ll wait…”

Yang Peimin knew exactly what he meant by “wait,” and she turned over, “I want to sleep.”

Shen Yiguang gently patted her back…

During the night, Yang Peimin was woken up several times by the baby’s cries. She was always on alert, waking up at the slightest sound. As soon as the baby slightly cried, she knew he was hungry and started feeding him while lying down.

Shen Yiguang, awakened too, turned on the light and came over, watching eagerly…

Yang Peimin: “…”

In the morning, they also woke up according to their biological clocks, originally thinking that being close to the school meant they could sleep in, but that was not possible.

Shen Yiguang was unusually late to get up today.

“Wife, do you get up at this hour every morning?”

It wasn’t even six o’clock yet, “With such early mornings and poor sleep at night, are you still energetic for class?”

Yang PeiMin raised an eyebrow and nodded, “You get used to it. Once the kid gets a bit older, there won’t be as many times to get up at night.”

As they were speaking, there was a knock on the door, and Chen Guizhi’s voice came through, “Ah Guang, Minmin, are you awake yet?”

“What’s up, Mom?”

“Oh, nothing, I just wanted to see if Lele was awake yet?”

Yang PeiMin and Shen Yiguang looked at each other, helplessly, “He’s still not awake. He just had his milk at five and probably will sleep until seven. Mom, why don’t you sleep a bit more?”

“Can’t sleep, already up… Lele hasn’t woken up yet, I’ll come back to see him later…”

Yang PeiMin said to Shen Yiguang, “Mom really dotes on Lele too much.”

Shen Yiguang held her hand and hummed, “She’s been looking forward to this for a long time. Now, I definitely can’t compare to that little guy in her eyes. It’s the way of grandparents to dote on their grandchildren. With her help, we can relax a bit more. Once Lele no longer needs milk at night, let’s have him sleep with her.”

Damn, that’s not what she meant, and yet he twisted it that way.

She said with an annoyed expression, “I mean, Mom is too anxious over Lele. For Lele, that will turn into spoiling. Didn’t you say before that we shouldn’t overly pamper a boy as it would affect his masculinity?”

“Then let’s keep him sleeping with us, and I’ll teach him.”

Yang PeiMin shook her head and put the matter aside for now.

After getting ready, Yang Peiying had already prepared breakfast early. Seeing the dark circles under her eyes, Yang PeiMin knew she hadn’t slept well, probably thinking about the stall, and getting up so early, she couldn’t help but say to her sister, “After breakfast, go back and sleep a bit more.”

Yang Peiying shook her head, “No need, I can’t sleep anyway. I’m going to the market to check the prices of vegetables as you told me to, then note them down in the book.”

Seeing her so motivated, Yang PeiMin smiled and nodded, encouraging her a few more times, hoping to boost her confidence.

Later, Shen Yiguang had to return to the military. After he left, Shen Yixiang said to Chen Guizhi, “Mom, Comrade Lu Haijun wants to visit you, is that okay?”

Chen Guizhi was stunned, “You girl, why didn’t you say it while your brother was here?”

Shen Yixiang giggled, “I was afraid he wouldn’t agree.”

Chen Guizhi shook her head, “You still need your brother’s approval for this, I’m just here to help with the kids, I don’t understand other things.”

“But Mom, you agreed before, why not now?” Shen Yixiang shook Chen Guizhi’s arm.

Chen Guizhi eyed her, “Is he that good?”

Just then, Yang PeiMin came in to grab a jacket and overheard their conversation, shaking her head but pretending she hadn’t heard.

“Sister-in-law, why are you back?”

“I saw it’s windy outside, came to grab a jacket.”

After she left, Shen Yixiang continued, “Didn’t you agree to sister-in-law initially? What do you think of her now?”

Chen Guizhi glared at her, “Why drag your sister-in-law into this? She gave our family a chubby grandson, which is more than satisfying!”

“No, I mean, you agreed when my brother found his own wife, why not when I find my own now? Even my brother should think about how he was the same.”

Chen Guizhi smacked her lightly, annoyed, “That’s because your brother has better judgment than you. Listening to your brother is never wrong.” She finished and went back to see her grandson.

Shen Yixiang frowned, pondering other strategies in her mind.
