CHAPTER 241: CHAPTER 241 PRESIDENT GU BECOMES A DADDY

The first night at the hospital, An Junxi thought Gu Yikun would go sleep in the room next door. The private hospital had plenty of rooms, all well-equipped, it would be easy for him to come over.

Gu Yikun insisted on staying, as he heard Ai Xi would wake up in the night for a feed, he didn’t want to go, "I’ll wake up at night to make milk powder for our daughter."

An Junxi asked, "Do you know how to make milk powder?"

Gu Yikun humbly told her, "Teach me."

An Junxi also wanted them to be closer as father and daughter, she said, "Make 200 milliliters for the baby at night, 240 milliliters during the day. Ai Xi doesn’t drink other brands of milk powder; she’s very picky."

She wrinkled her nose, her daughter’s only bad trait was being picky about food, she wondered if she was like her father.

Gu Yikun tapped her nose, "Being picky means having standards. My daughter is a little princess; I can afford to cater to her pickiness."

An Junxi said, "I don’t want her to be so picky, it makes it hard for her to fit in with other kids."

She told Gu Yikun about many of Ai Xi’s little habits, he remembered them all in his heart, he said, "Tomorrow I’ll ask the nutritionist to create a diet plan for you and the baby, making you both healthy and chubby."

An Junxi didn’t want to gain weight, nor did she agree to have someone else take care of her, taking care of the child is the parents’ responsibility, they should cherish this time.

Gu Yikun listened to everything she said, except for one thing he insisted on, "Don’t go back to work at Youli Entertainment, recuperate first."

Seeing her getting thinner and thinner from busyness, it made him ache.

An Junxi wanted to work but lacked the energy; the doctor said if she didn’t recuperate now, having kids later would be difficult, she didn’t dare gamble with her health, she still wanted a little boy.

Having a son and a daughter was her wish, of course, she never told Gu Yikun, having a child is about fate, she couldn’t force it.

While she was thinking, Gu Yikun hugged her from behind, her thin pajamas allowed the warmth of his hand to transfer to her body, the memories of that night rushed into her mind, An Junxi instinctively broke free from his hand, sitting on the other side of the bed.

Gu Yikun felt empty, seeing An Junxi’s defense and rejection towards him, his heart hurt like a needle prick, "Xi Xi, I..."

An Junxi didn’t want to bring up that night again, she put the child on the bed, "It’s late, let’s sleep."

Gu Aixi slept in the middle, it was her first time sleeping with both her parents, she felt very excited, kicking her feet around, babbling her own words, not wanting to sleep.

An Junxi tried to lull the child to sleep, Gu Yikun dimmed the lights suitable for sleeping, and he lay down on the bed.

With the child lying between them, Gu Yikun reached out to hold her hand.

An Junxi didn’t withdraw, she didn’t reject his embrace, but instinctively resisted further intimacy.

She knew what he said that night was out of anger, and what he did was impulsive, but she couldn’t forget, the trauma in her heart was still there.

An Junxi closed her eyes, just give her more time.

Gu Yikun didn’t sleep well all night, he couldn’t forgive himself for his violence towards her, undeniably, she must be afraid of him.

He tightly held her hand, looking at the mother and daughter’s sleeping faces, his heart slowly came back to life.

There’s still a long way to go, as long as he treats them well, Xi Xi will forgive him one day.

At midnight, Gu Aixi woke up on schedule, sometimes looking at her mom, sometimes turning to look at her dad, her little mouth kept saying, "Hungry."

Gu Yikun slept lightly; he got up, carried his daughter to the sofa, and whispered, "Don’t wake up mommy, daddy will make milk powder for you."

An Junxi also woke up, hearing Gu Yikun’s words, she pretended to be asleep and didn’t get up, her eyes opened a slit, watching Gu Yikun clumsily making milk powder for the child.

Gu Yikun had practiced once, but when it really came to it, he was still a bit flustered, spilling milk powder all over the table. Gu Aixi had a bit of sleepiness tantrum, crawling around on the sofa nonstop, Gu Yikun feared she might fall to the ground, used his arm to block her, finally, he managed to make the milk powder, he dropped a few drops on his hand to check the temperature before feeding the child.

Gu Aixi contentedly held the bottle, lying on the sofa drinking, Gu Yikun also changed her diaper.

Changing a diaper was much harder than making milk powder, he was a bit of a clean freak, and unfamiliar with the process, worried that changing too slowly might make the baby catch cold, he studied for a while before figuring it out, by the time he finished, he found himself drenched in sweat.

Gu Yikun felt like he fought a war, it was harder than securing a multi-billion project.

Making milk powder and changing diapers was already so exhausting, he couldn’t imagine how Jun Xi raised their daughter.

Thinking about these, he cherished Jun Xi more, she sacrificed a lot for him.

An Junxi had been secretly watching him, seeing the high and mighty President Gu turning into an ordinary dad, she almost couldn’t help but laugh.

She pretended to turn over to hide her smile, rubbing her eyes asking, "Did the baby drink the milk?"

Gu Yikun sat next to her, "I made milk powder for the baby, you keep sleeping."

His voice was very gentle, like coaxing another child.

An Junxi was genuinely tired, she didn’t get up, saying, "Then you watch her."

Gu Yikun tucked her hair behind her ear, "Sleep."

An Junxi didn’t know when she fell asleep, Ai Xi used to kick her during sleep, but that night the baby was very settled, she slept until the bright morning light woke her up.

Gu Aixi spent the night with her father, in the morning her attitude towards Gu Yikun had completely changed, clinging to her dad to lift her high.

An Junxi came out after washing up, seeing the father and daughter laughing so happily together, she hadn’t seen Yikun laugh like this for a long time.

The house had joyful laughter; this was the best state.

Gu Yikun took her for a check-up, the doctor examined An Junxi in various ways and said, "Mrs. Gu’s body is weak, unsuitable for western medication, only dietary supplements and medicinal oils for bruises. If all indicators stabilize, you can be discharged in a few days."

An Junxi thanked the doctor, Gu Aixi also learned to say, "Thank you, doctor."

The old doctor smiled widely, "What a cute child."

The hospital belonged to the Gu Family, mainly serving them. Seeing Mrs. Gu treating people with kindness, and teaching her child so well, made them admire her.

This was truly the upbringing of a big family.

They returned to the room, Aunt He had brought breakfast early in the morning; she made Yao Zhu Chicken Porridge, along with vegetables and fruits to ensure balanced nutrition.

Aunt He served An Junxi a full bowl, then picked up Gu Aixi saying, "Let me feed Ai Xi porridge, okay?"

Gu Aixi held a spoon wanting to eat by herself, Aunt He specially brought a small bowl for children, saying, "Ai Xi is great, then eat by yourself."

An Junxi sat at the dining table, Gu Aixi saw her mom sitting high, she also wanted to sit high.

Gu Yikun picked her up onto the baby chair, Gu Aixi, finally sitting as high as the adults, smiling at Gu Yikun, "Thank you, Daddy."

Gu Yikun couldn’t help but kiss her chubby little cheek, "Good girl, eat quickly."
