CHAPTER 430: CHAPTER 405: SWEET EXTRA STORY: THE DAUGHTER YOU LOVE

Rong Zhengfeng’s eyes glimmered with excitement as he craned his neck to look inside the delivery room.

"Where’s the child’s father?" the doctor’s voice came through.

"..." Rong Mochen’s back stiffened, and his legs woodenly moved into the delivery room.

When the doctor presented the child to Rong Mochen, he didn’t even glance at the baby, his dark eyes fixated straight on the small pale and exhausted woman on the bed.

Suppressing the tremor from his heart, Rong Mochen walked to Jin Jumo’s side, silently reaching out to hold her sweat-drenched and feeble hand, his throat choked, unable to utter a word.

Jin Jumo was truly without strength, feeling the warmth and slight tremor in her palm, her long lashes trembling slightly, and a tear instantly slipped from the corner of her eye.

She didn’t have the strength to open her eyes, just lightly moving her pale lips, softly uttering a few hoarse words, "Rong Mochen, it’s the daughter you like."

At that moment, Rong Mochen’s eyes were wet with tears.

A nine-pound-nine ounce chubby girl, which made Jin Jumo’s labor particularly painful; when she gave birth to Xixi and Hanhan, it wasn’t this hard.

Having another great-grandson, Rong Zhengfeng was so pleased that he couldn’t stop smiling.

Jin Jumo, having just given birth and exhausted, stayed in the hospital for three days before transferring to the high-end postpartum care center arranged by Rong Mochen to recover.

On this day, Jin Jumo was much better in spirits, leaning against the bed to play with the chubby little girl, her eyes gentle enough to squeeze water out, her whole demeanor softer than before, "You naughty little girl, you really tortured mommy. You, you’ll definitely be more mischievous than your brother and sister when you grow up and make me have a headache."

Despite her reproachful words, Jin Jumo’s tone was filled with a smile of satisfaction and happiness.

Rong Mochen sat beside the bed, silently watching Jin Jumo and their daughter, his dark eyes deepening.

Babies sleep a lot, and Jin Jumo only looked up at Rong Mochen when she saw the little girl was sound asleep, her mouth curving softly, "You don’t have to be with me every day. There are so many things waiting for you at the company."

Rong Mochen took Jin Jumo’s hand, staring deeply into her eyes with his dark gaze for a while before saying in a solemn voice, "Do you blame me?"

"Hmm?" Jin Jumo didn’t understand, smiling as she looked at him, "What are you talking about?"

"When the baby was born, I wasn’t by your side, letting you suffer alone inside," Rong Mochen said hoarsely.

"Who said you weren’t with me?" Jin Jumo looked at him tenderly and forgivingly, "You were with me all along, from the start until the little girl was safely born."

Rong Mochen tightened his grip on her hand, his cool lips gently pressed against her soft hand, looking at her with pity and guilt, "Little Mo, it’s my fault. You blame me, I can take it."

Jin Jumo stared at him.

In fact, she knew about his guilt these past few days, also aware that he felt sorry for her all this time, secretly blaming himself.

But in reality, she really didn’t blame him, not the slightest bit.

She understood better than anyone how important she was in his heart.

If he had been in the delivery room at the time, seeing how much pain she was in during childbirth, he might have gone crazy, and then the doctors and nurses wouldn’t know how scared they would have been.

Besides.

She knew he had been outside the delivery room all along, not leaving for a moment.

So her heart was at ease.

It felt as if the door didn’t separate them, as if they were actually together.

So she wasn’t afraid.

The reason the delivery took so long was just because the baby was too big, making it difficult to give birth.

"Honey, come here." Jin Jumo gave him a playful wink.

Rong Mochen was startled, looking at her.

Jin Jumo’s face turned a little red, her expression somewhat shy and demure, softly saying, "Since the baby was born, you haven’t kissed me. Are you disgusted by me?"

"..." Rong Mochen stared at her, the guilt in his dark eyes slowly replaced by a thin layer of smiling brightness.

Jin Jumo’s face was very red, yet her bright eyes were fixed on him, "I want to kiss you, right now."

As soon as the words left Jin Jumo’s mouth, Rong Mochen suddenly leaned over and kissed the lips she hadn’t yet closed tight, the soft cool touch urging him to deepen and intensify the kiss.

Jin Jumo was dazed for a second but quickly reached out to wrap her arms around his neck, gasping lightly between their lips, "You’re in my heart. Although, although you weren’t within my reach at the time, but, whew... But our hearts were together. I, I could feel your anxiety, your encouragement, your love for me... So, so don’t feel sorry for me, don’t hold onto it, mm..."

Tightly closing her eyes, letting herself get lost in the waves he had woven for her.

Dong dong—

Just when Jin Jumo and Rong Mochen were entangled sweetly and intensely, an untimely knock suddenly sounded at the door.

Jin Jumo’s closed eyes flew open, breathlessly pulling her lips away from Rong Mochen’s mouth, looking towards the door with a reddened face.

Rong Mochen, however, a bit unwilling to end it, licked his sexy thin lips, his dark eyes deeply staring at Jin Jumo’s lips, reddened because of him, before slowly turning his gaze towards the door, where he saw Gu Yan standing at the entrance, grinning sneakily at the two, and Huo Shaojun and some others, who came with him, were also looking at them with a knowing smile, as if they had accidentally seen a "blockbuster".

Jin Jumo’s face flushed to her ears, silently turning to face the inside, her back to the entrance.

Gu Yan saw Jin Jumo like this and laughed, bouncing over energetically, deliberately shouting, "Spring is about to arrive, and my inner passion is truly surging beyond control."

Jin Jumo, "..." Gu Yan, go to hell!

Rong Mochen looked calm, his slightly moist lips drawing lightly, glancing at the several people by the door, saying, "Come in, all of you."

"Brother, your temper has only gotten better recently, it’s making me quite uneasy." Huo Chengjin swaggered in with his hands in his pockets, smirking.

Rong Mochen gave him a look, "Itching for trouble?"

Huo Chengjin immediately raised his hands in a surrender gesture, "I was wrong. Come on, let me check out our little princess."

Huo Chengjin walked to the bedside, gently poked the plump little girl’s cheeks and laughed, "Brother, what did you tell her during the pregnancy? She’s turned into a meatball."

Rong Mochen frowned unhappily, brushing away his hand.

Huo Chengjin clicked his tongue twice, "Getting mad just like that!"

"Boss Rong, have you thought of a name? If not, I’ve got some for you. Listen, Gu Yin Yin, Gu Mengmeng, Gu An’an, Gu..."

"Scram!"

Rong Mochen kicked him away.

Gu Yan yelped, darting far away, curling up meekly in a corner, looking pitifully at Rong Mochen, "Chengjin was just saying you have a good temper, I think he’s blind!"

"Are you deliberately stirring trouble?" Huo Chengjin looked at him darkly.

Gu Yan rolled his eyes.

"The little girl is a bit round..."

"A bit round?" Huo Chengjin smiled at Lei Yicheng, "You call this a bit round? She’s almost like the Maitreya Buddha, and..."

Before Huo Chengjin could finish, he felt invisible ice daggers shaving his cheek, rubbing his nose, Huo Chengjin feigned a cough and looked at Rong Mochen, whose entire face was darkened, "I didn’t say anything."

"Pfft." Gu Yan laughed gleefully, "Look at you chickening out!"

Huo Chengjin shrugged indifferently.

Huo Shaojun and Xiao Nanqing leaned aside without speaking, both seemingly preoccupied.

They hadn’t stayed even ten minutes before Rong Mochen started shooing them away, "If there’s nothing else, head back."

"No way, Boss Rong, we just got here." Gu Yan protested.

"The little girl has quite a temper, will you be responsible for calming her if she wakes?" Rong Mochen dotingly watched the small meatball lying obediently beside Jin Jumo.

Gu Yan rubbed his hands together, muttering, "I’ll calm her, I’ll calm her."

"If you want to calm her, go ahead, I don’t have that skill, I’m leaving first." Huo Chengjin pursed his thin lips, looking at Xiao Nanqing, "Are you leaving?"

Xiao Nanqing lightly raised her eyes without saying anything, turned, and walked out.

Before leaving, Huo Chengjin mocked Huo Shaojun with a glance, then left the recovery center.

Huo Shaojun squinted at Huo Chengjin’s departing back, paused for a few seconds, then looked at Lei Yicheng.

Lei Yicheng glanced at him, then said to Jin Jumo, "Momo, take care, we’ll come back in a few days."

Jin Jumo obediently turned her head, her face still flushed, and said to Lei Yicheng, "Brother Lei, take care."

Lei Yicheng smiled, and left with Huo Shaojun.

Everyone left, but Gu Yan didn’t plan to leave.

Gu Yan’s heedlessness had long been witnessed by Rong Mochen and Jin Jumo, so they were not surprised at all.

Gu Yan came over, squatted by the bed, staring unblinkingly at the little baby on the bed, "Little Mo Mo, were Xixi and Hanhan this chubby when they were born too?"

Jin Jumo looked at him and said, "Xixi and Hanhan were really tiny when they were born, but after gradual nurturing, they started to gain some weight."

Speaking of which, Xixi and Hanhan’s health improving owed much to the efforts of Doctor Ying Jingyao.

Gu Yan nodded, looked at the baby, and said nothing more.

After enduring a long half-month of confinement, Jin Jumo finally was free to leave the recovery center and returned to Jinming Port City.

Xixi was thrilled, having missed Jin Jumo greatly, she clung to Jin Jumo the moment she returned, occupying her lap.

Meanwhile, Hanhan focused attentively on the little sister in the cradle, gently placing one finger into her small, fleshy hand.

Perhaps it was some sibling telepathy, the usually aloof little sister gripped tightly as soon as Hanhan placed his finger into her palm, grinning at him.

Hanhan was ecstatic, raising his head to ask Jin Jumo excitedly, "Mom, she smiled at me."

Hearing that the little sister smiled at Hanhan, Xixi immediately hopped down from Jin Jumo’s lap with amazement, and ran over, squatting in front of the cradle to watch the sister.
