Chapter 269: Chapter 267: [End of Main Text] Are You Ready?

"Yes~"

"Help me take off the waist belt, I want to see my belly. I’m so afraid that my skin has become loose and ugly!"

Ye Manman made a face, unable to smile at the thought.

He Chen held her, softly kissing her lips, his deep eyes full of affection.

"Not ugly, I like you no matter what you look like."

"I asked the doctor, as long as you wear the waist belt properly, you’ll quickly return to how you looked before having the baby."

His large hand gently supported the back of her head, his thumb delicately caressed her ear. He Chen helped tie her hair and prepared the hot water before squatting down to help arrange her clothes.

"The pregnancy diet we did was very helpful, you didn’t gain much weight, so it won’t take long to recover."

"Come, let me wipe other parts of your body first. You still need to wear the waist belt for a while longer before we take it off, alright?"

At some point, He Chen’s hands became much gentler, and his calluses were gone.

Every time he soothed her with such gentle words, Ye Manman found it easy to listen.

She agreed, letting her hand fall from the waist belt, then softly resting it on his shoulder, obediently letting him take care of her.

In the middle of winter, using a towel to wipe the body often makes you feel chilly once the towel is removed, but He Chen’s hands were large and warm.

He was especially attentive, using a hot towel to wipe one area, then massaging it with his fingers until the skin was dry before moving on to another area.

So Ye Manman didn’t have to wipe herself and didn’t feel cold at all.

After he finished wiping her, He Chen easily scooped her up in his arms and carried her back to the room.

On this day, Ye Manman officially began her postpartum recovery.

Generally speaking, newborns are often fussy.

They cry for all sorts of reasons: hunger, tiredness, wetness, or something else, and they need to be soothed by being held.

But little Naonao was different.

Perhaps because while Ye Manman was pregnant, He Chen often read stories to them, little Naonao was very familiar with his father’s voice.

So, he wouldn’t be picky about who held him.

Whether in Ye Manman’s arms or He Chen’s, he would be peaceful, falling asleep when he was tired.

He didn’t mind not being held, as long as He Chen was nearby telling stories, he would listen quietly, sometimes even staring endlessly at He Chen’s face.

And just as his aunt said, little Naonao changed a lot within a few days.

His little eyes, once only half-open, were now fully open, round and bright, with beautiful double eyelids and long eyelashes, looking very much like Ye Manman’s eyes.

As for his nose, it somewhat resembled He Chen’s.

Compared to He Chen’s nose, which stands out among his features, little Naonao’s nose doesn’t take up much space, similar to Ye Manman’s, but slightly more defined.

While He Chen’s facial features give an impression of ruggedness, those of Ye Manman seem gentler.

Overall, little Naonao grew up to be quite handsome.

At least Ye Manman and He Chen were satisfied.

And the more they looked at him, the more they loved him, wanting to kiss this adorable little guy from time to time.

Half a month later, Ye Manman’s postpartum discharge had cleared.

She went to the hospital for a check-up and was confirmed to be recovering well, so she started doing regular home exercises and Kegel exercises with peace of mind.

These exercises, one for shaping and recovering her figure quickly, and the other, a pelvic exercise, would help her swiftly regain her pre-pregnancy tightness and significantly reduce or eliminate bladder leakage.

By the time her confinement period ended, little Naonao had grown increasingly adorable.

With his chubby cheeks and fair, tender skin, he was irresistibly kissable. His features, initially concealed, were now clearer and more beautiful.

If people didn’t know he was a boy, they might even suspect he was a girl.

He was simply too beautiful, too cute!

Every time Jiamu and Xiangsi finished their homework, they couldn’t resist playing with him, chatting, telling stories, and entertaining him in various ways.

Liu Gaoyuan also doted on his little grandson, frequently buying loads of baby supplies and toys, nearly moving everything from the store to their home.

Just a few days after Ye Manman completed her confinement, they welcomed their second New Year together!

The entire Liu Family was bustling about, even Liu Rulan helped to put up window decals and prepare the New Year’s Eve dinner.

This New Year brought many blessings!

Little Naonao was a month old!

Liu Rulan had fully recovered and could move around freely again.

She moved back to her room on the third floor and helped Ye Manman with the baby whenever she could.

The doctor said Liu Rulan experienced so much happiness that she had completely forgotten the memories that once tormented her. Even if not entirely forgotten, they were at least deeply buried.

As long as she wasn’t triggered in the same way, she likely wouldn’t relapse throughout her life!

Right before the New Year, He Chen’s business saw a breakthrough!

Although he spent much less time at the company, his mind never stopped working, and his attention never wavered from the times and the market.

Just a week ago, his company went public!

As he had dreamt a year ago, he established his brand under the name "Love Vine," spreading his love for Ye Manman throughout Jing City and even neighboring provinces!

Ye Manman supported her husband’s career with enthusiasm, posing as a brand model for posters and packaging photos.

He Chen said his career wouldn’t stop there, and he wanted to make their brand so famous that everyone in the country would know about it!

With so many good things happening, when Ye Manman sat at the table holding little Naonao, surrounded by everyone’s smiling faces, she couldn’t shake the feeling it was all too dreamy.

Everything felt so wonderfully unreal!

She wished to stay in this dream and never wake up!

Suddenly, He Chen put his arm around her, and amidst everyone’s joyful laughter, he secretly kissed her on the cheek.

Just like that, the dreamlike feeling in Ye Manman’s heart vanished instantly.

She bashfully swatted He Chen’s arm, her fair cheeks blushing.

"What are you doing? There are so many elders here!"

The love in He Chen’s eyes was almost overflowing.

He chuckled, secretly holding her small hand beneath the table.

Her slender, fair hand was wrapped in his hot palm, completely dispelling the chill at her fingertips.

Ye Manman beckoned, and He Chen obediently leaned in, thinking she wanted to whisper something.

But she mischievously smiled and loudly exclaimed.

"He Chen! Happy New Year!"

Coincidentally, as Ye Manman shouted "Happy New Year," a neighboring household set off a string of firecrackers, lively and very festive.

He Chen rubbed his ears and replied to her.

"Happy New Year!"

Then he turned to look at the bright-eyed, smiling girl beside him, his gaze suddenly burning intensely.

He remembered their first New Year together the previous year.

That night was the first time he could touch her without any barriers!

Seeing that familiar look in He Chen’s eyes, Ye Manman immediately understood and her ears turned red.

Everyone was busy, so He Chen didn’t dare make any rash moves.

But he curled his finger, playfully tickling the little hand he was holding.

"Manman, do you remember what you said last New Year?"

"You said I was so clumsy, told me to practice by myself."

"I wanted to say, I’ve practiced and gained all my skills now."

"Are you ready for tonight?"
