Chapter 41 Full Moon Feast
cond Brother, you must be tired after taking care of me for so long. Go wash up and rest."Hearing Yan Luoxi's heartfelt concern, Li An’s expression changed dramatically: he was excited, touched, heart...Chapter 41: The Full Moon Celebration Feast
Liy安's back instantly stiffened. He suddenly turned his head, and his face became vague in the morning light, making Yan Luoxi almost think he was about to lose his temper again and shout at her.
But Liy安 just smiled at her: "What you said is right. Next time I will definitely knock before entering."
Yan Luoxi snorted coldly, a short and clear sound. At this moment, the lactation consultant heard the commotion and got up to attend to the child; neither of them spoke any further.
Liy安 clenched his fists as he walked out, constantly reminding himself that he had to endure it because such hard days were ahead for him. Only through patience could he win back his wife.
He left Yan Luoxi's room and rolled up his sleeves before entering the kitchen.
Liy安 thought about this last night: Zhou Guangtao and Ran Xu are both down-to-earth men who would do housework for their beloved women, such as washing clothes and cooking. Washing clothes is simple work; there were plenty of servants and lactation consultants at home now, so he didn't need to wash the clothes himself. He decided to cook a meal for Yan Luoxi.
Full of ambition, he entered the kitchen, but no matter how hard or seriously he tried, he couldn’t figure it out. Either he cut his hand or scalded his arm.
Liy安 could endure these minor pains, but the kitchen seemed to be against him; there was either a fire or something exploding, causing smoke throughout the house. As a result, Xue Liping had to replace the induction cooker and buy an expensive spatula.
Seeing Liy安's oily face, Yan Luoxi frowned slightly. "If you are interested in cooking, consider signing up for a chef training course instead of using my kitchen as your experimentation ground. You fill this place with smoke every day, which affects the air quality and is not good for the baby’s breathing."
Lian didn't manage to cook successfully and already felt embarrassed enough. Now, he was also being ridiculed by Yan Luoxi, which made him feel aggrieved and indignant. His eyes were getting a bit red.
Thinking back to how he had been pampered since childhood and never stepped into the kitchen in these years, now he tried his best to cook for Yan Luoxi but ended up with injuries all over himself without receiving any gratitude.
When Schuyler Li saw her daughter treating Lian like this, she hurriedly intervened and instructed the maidservants to bring a first-aid kit to dress Lian's wounds. She then casually said, "Lian, we won't be learning how to cook in the future. A real man should venture out into the world instead of being confined to the kitchen; it’s better for gentlemen to stay away from the kitchen..."
Lian could only苦笑無奈at this situation. Regardless of whether he was a gentleman or not, it seemed that he would indeed have to stay away from the kitchen.
His plan to cook for Yan Luoxi had failed miserably, so he continued with other romantic gestures to win her over, such as sending flowers every day and occasionally setting off fireworks in the little garden.
Lian's actions seemed extremely romantic to others, but to Yan Luoxi, they were insignificant. Therefore, Lian’s pursuit of her was still making no progress at all.
Amidst Yan Luoxi's coldness and Lian's relentless efforts, Xiaozhan turned one month old.
This day, Schuyler Li was extremely excited, and even Li Yì made a special trip to celebrate the child’s full moon. He arranged for a grand celebration and presented numerous precious gold and jade ornaments that symbolized longevity.
Yan Luoxi was also very pleased on this day because she finally completed one of her life's most important milestones. She had endured countless hardships throughout her pregnancy, and now the month-long confinement period was over.
From today onwards, she would once again be a carefree woman who could soar like a free bird.
Lian looked at Yan Luoxi, who was wearing a brand new dress and had a fair complexion with a beaming smile. He didn't know why he felt inexplicably agitated inside, to the point of almost exploding.
When Yan Luoxi was pregnant, she wasn't particularly fat; no matter how much she ate, her belly grew larger while she still had slim arms and legs. The first update mentioned that she delivered via cesarean section and lost a lot of blood during childbirth. Afterward, she insisted on breastfeeding, which resulted in significant weight loss.
She gave birth early, and with her young body recovering well, she now wore a dress that showcased her slender figure; beneath the hem was a pair of straight white legs. If not for Xiao Zhiyan being present as proof, no one would have known that she was already a mother.
Feeling depressed in his heart, Lian could not cheer up on this day when their child had reached her full month; now that the child's full moon had passed, it meant Yan Luoxi could move about freely again and casually meet other men, easily leaving him behind...
Sitting at the restaurant, Lian was still somewhat distracted. In contrast, Li Yi seemed very happy, holding little Xiao Zhiyan with great affection.
This tiny child had inherited Yan Luoxi's snow-white skin and a petite chin, along with large black eyes that conveyed expression as they moved slightly.
"This baby is just too adorable," Li Yi said with immense fondness while holding Xiao Zhiyan.
Xiao Zhiyan was very well-behaved; she allowed her uncle to hold her without crying or fussing, and occasionally even gave him a vague smile that charmed the cold-hearted Li Yi beyond measure.
"Brother, are you tired Let me take her for a bit," Yan Luoxi said as she extended her hand toward the child.
"I'm not tired. I hardly get to see the baby; let me hold her a little longer," Li Yi casually replied.
Yan Luoxi understood. For someone like Li Yi, every word he spoke wasn't casual. How could she make it so that Li Yi wouldn't have to see the child frequently She didn't want to overthink it.
She didn't want to overthink it, but clearly, Li Yi had no intention of letting her off easily. He held the baby and continued chatting with Yan Luoxi. "Luoxi, once today is over, you will be free from this obligation. Do you have any plans for the future"
Yan Luoxi's plans were already made long ago. She glanced at Li An, who was sitting beside her and watching her intently, then smiled as she answered Li Yi. "Big Brother, since I graduated from university, I haven't really worked properly. Because of this child, I've been idling at home for a year.
I feel like I might become an idiot if I keep doing nothing. I am still young and don't want to be disconnected from society. From tomorrow on, I plan to start looking for work."
Li An inwardly scoffed. You weren’t planning on starting your job search only from tomorrow; you’ve been planning it much earlier than that, haven’t you He spoke in a solemn tone, pressing her with his question: "How will you take care of the child while looking for work"
"The baby has a nanny to look after him," Yan Luoxi was getting slightly annoyed by Li An's questioning.
“Then are you giving up on breastfeeding your child” Li An’s voice rose involuntarily, his long-suppressed frustration and anger now impossible to hold back any longer.
Yan Luoxi was quite upset by his attitude. "I am not your housekeeper; I gave birth to the baby for you, but that doesn't mean I have to personally raise him."
"Ah." Li An coldly scoffed again. “You underestimate yourself too much. Do you really think I would use a nanny to give me a child”
Yan Luoxi was about to retort when Li Yi interjected from the side, perhaps fearing that their argument might startle the baby. He lowered his voice and scolded Li An sternly: "What are you talking nonsense for Is this how you apologize to Luoxi, offer compensation, and beg for forgiveness You should quickly say sorry to her."one by one, driving him almost mad.In this moment, they were so in sync and perfect with each other. Yan Luoxi fluttered her long eyelashes a few times before slowly closing them, relaxing her body en...
