Chapter 543 First Time Being a Stay-at-Home Dad
He Yi's expression darkened.
"Don't be upset. Am I wrong? You weren't actually on a business trip, or even if you were, it wouldn't have been for so many days. You know your wife is in labor. You're just upset and sulking. But how can you win your wife back if you're just sulking? That's why I said you should just stop forcing it. In the long run, you might find another woman."
"Alright, Grandma, don't be angry." He Yi forced a smile and put his arm around the old lady's shoulder.
"Whether I'm angry or not isn't a big deal. The key is A-Yao. This isn't just a casual argument; you have deep-seated resentments that you can't resolve without effort. What I said earlier was true. I don't want to see you going through this. Nothing in life is more important than life and death. I want you to live a healthy life, so I'll accept it if you find another woman you like. It might be a good thing for you and for A-Yao." The old lady said as she sat down, her tone genuinely serious and earnest.
Just as He Yi was about to reply, another surprised and nervous voice suddenly came from behind him, "Dad, are you going to find another aunt? Marry another aunt? That means I'll have a stepmother?"
He Yi froze, quickly looking in the direction of the sound, and saw Niu Niu staring at him intently, her little face tense, clearly very unhappy.
He came to his senses, stepped forward, took her hand, and smiled, "That's not true."
Niu Niu continued to pout and tilt her head, not believing it.
“No, that’s not true. Great-Grandma was just saying it casually. Dad will never marry another woman in his life,” He Yi continued.
"Really? Are you sure?"
"Dad swore that if he didn't keep his promise, he would... turn into a puppy?"
"Okay, I believe you then. But Dad, if you really marry Mom, I won't be friends with you anymore! I'll never talk to you again, I'm making this clear now!"
He Yi stared blankly at her striking resemblance to Gu Zhiyao, then thought to himself, "How wonderful it would be if Gu Zhiyao could feel jealous like this too!"
Yes, her jealousy shows that she still cares.
Unfortunately, it seems unlikely that such a thing will happen.
So he shouldn't even think about using other women to put on a show and provoke her.
He Yi shook his head with a wry smile and continued chatting with his daughter. The little girl was quite domineering, and kept declaring that He Yi was not allowed to find a stepmother, which made He Yi both amused and exasperated. The old lady, on the other hand, would give him a meaningful look from time to time, as if warning him to take it easy!
Later, after the old lady went to sleep, He Yi stayed in the children's room with his son and daughter, telling them stories and chatting with them until they also fell asleep. Then he went to Gu Zhiyao's bedroom.
Gu Zhiyao slept a lot during the day, but didn't go to bed early at night. She was looking at her phone when she saw him stiffen up and unconsciously showed a hint of wariness.
She had thought he had already left!
He Yi approached and said, “I’ll be staying here tonight, and I’ll probably be staying here for a while. Gu Zhiyao, I know what you’re thinking. Don’t worry, I won’t cause you any trouble. Didn’t you say I could see the baby anytime? Grandma also said that children change every day. Back then, due to various reasons, I actually missed a lot of Chenchen’s growth period, so I want to make up for it with Xiaobao now.”
Gu Zhiyao frowned as she looked at him, wondering what he was up to.
"What time will Xiaobao wake up? Does he need milk at night? I'll feed him then," He Yi continued.
"No need, Sister Qiu will take care of these things." Sister Qiu is a postpartum nanny, and she is responsible for taking care of Xiao Bao at night. Xiao Bao sleeps relatively regularly. Seeing that her body is recovering very well, Gu Zhiyao simply let Xiao Bao stay here to sleep, and Sister Qiu can come to check on Xiao Bao around the same time.
He Yi stared at her for a few seconds and said, "But I want to experience it."
Gu Zhiyao continued to frown.
"Don't worry, I won't disturb you. You can go to sleep. Qiu-jie and I will take care of everything."
It seemed he was determined to stay. Although Gu Zhiyao didn't accept it, she didn't argue anymore.
She turned off her phone, lay down to sleep, and simply ignored him.
He Yi glanced at her, a slight smile playing on his lips, and then walked up to his son.
The little guy was sleeping soundly, and He Yi just sat in front of the crib watching his son until Sister Qiu appeared.
Sister Qiu was also stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said, "Young Master He, you should go to sleep. Leave this to me."
He Yi gestured for her not to rush, "I wanted to experience taking care of a baby, so I waited here on purpose. It's okay, I rested during the day."
Qiu Jie suddenly realized what was going on and couldn't help but glance at Gu Zhiyao on the bed. Of course, Gu Zhiyao was already asleep at this time.
So she said in a low voice, "Okay, please sit for a while. Xiao Bao has a very good sleep schedule. He usually wakes up once at one o'clock in the morning. At that time, I will change his diaper and make him 200 ml of formula. After he finishes drinking it, he will continue to sleep until dawn."
He Yi listened and nodded. Just then, the little guy woke up and made a few soft whimpers.
Before he could cry, Sister Qiu quickly picked him up, comforted him, changed his diaper, and then went to make formula.
"Young Master He, would you like to hold him for a bit?" She usually puts the baby back in the stroller, but since He Yi suggested it, she might as well hand him over.
He Yi nodded and took the little one.
This was the first time he had ever held his son. It felt magical, and he was also a little nervous. He instinctively tightened his arms, afraid that his son would slip from his grasp.
Seeing this, Sister Qiu couldn't help but chuckle to herself.
Yes, He Shao usually seems so imposing and domineering, unlike now, when he's so cautious. It seems that no matter what kind of man he is, he's just an ordinary person when he becomes a loving father.
However, worried that the baby might cry and wake Gu Zhiyao if he wasn't used to it, Qiu Jie went to make the formula without delay.
He Yi continued to hold his son carefully, examining him closely, when suddenly he saw the little guy grin at him, and he was immediately stunned!
The little guy continued to click his tongue a few more times, waving his little hands excitedly, his big eyes blinking, he was so cute. He Yi's heart simply melted, his vision quickly blurred, and then he picked up the little guy and kept kissing him.
When Sister Qiu finished preparing the formula and came over, she was shocked to see this scene, and her heart was filled with excitement.
After a while, she approached and gently reminded He Yi.
He Yi looked up at Sister Qiu, his expression revealing some unease.
Sister Qiu said, "Young Master He, is this the first time you've held Xiao Bao like this? He's so affectionate with you. It seems that father and son are of one heart. He recognizes you as his father."
He Yi calmed down, smiled at Sister Qiu, looked at the baby bottle, and asked, "Is it ready? Can I give it to Xiao Bao now?"
"Yes, you fed it yourself?"
"it is good."
Under Qiu Jie's guidance, He Yi gradually became more skilled and proficient.
Watching the little guy sucking hard on the pacifier, his eyes welled up with tears again.
