Chapter 559: Chapter 557: It’s Like Being Overcome by Cuteness_1

Xia Ningxing urged the two.

Although the baby was rather ugly and even made her dizzy from his ugliness, which mother under the heavens really despises her own child?

Right now, she just wanted to take a good look at the child!

Lu Tingli frowned, clearly disinclined to go.

What’s there to see about the child? He only wanted to stay by her side.

It was Mrs. Xia who eventually started walking out, "I’ll go and bring the child over."

Before she could leave, the door had already been opened.

It turned out that everyone had heard that Xia Ningxing was awake and couldn’t sit still any longer, so they knocked and entered.

After a round of greetings and inquiries, Xia Ningxing eagerly stared at the little one being held in the arms of Sir Lu:

"Grandpa, please bring the child over for me to have a look!"

Anxiety saturated her tone.

"Coming, coming." Sir Lu immediately stepped forward and handed the sleeping baby over to her.

Xia Ningxing awkwardly yet carefully took the child.

She cradled the baby in the crook of her left arm, her elbow supporting the baby’s head, left hand guarding the back and waist, her right forearm stretching over to protect the baby’s legs, and her right hand holding the baby’s buttocks and waist.

Only after the child was securely in her arms did Xia Ningxing let out a sigh of relief.

Newborns are so small and delicate that holding them can be terrifying because you’re afraid of hurting them.

Mrs. Xia noticed her nervousness and instantly thought back to how anxious she had been when she became a mother for the first time, immediately comforting her, "Bao’er, don’t be afraid. You’ll get used to it after holding the child more."

"Yes, I need to hold the baby more to get used to it," Xia Ningxing responded, her gaze fixed on the little one the whole time.

The little one hadn’t yet opened his eyes, perhaps because he’d just had some formula, and his body was emitting a rich scent of milk and the sweet fragrance unique to babies.

The hair on his head was thin and sparse, his features were still rather unattractive, but this time, Xia Ningxing found them increasingly appealing the more she looked.

Even Lu Tingli’s gaze softened slightly as he looked at the little one.

His face is so tiny, his hands are small, everything about him is tiny, like a little dot.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" Lu Tingli finally became a bit curious and couldn’t resist unwrapping the baby to take a peek.

He hadn’t intended to look, but once he did, Lu Tingli couldn’t help but twitch his lips.

It was one with a little handle.

Not the little girl he had been yearning for.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing that his expression had darkened, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but look at him questioningly.

Lu Tingli answered her, "It’s a boy."

Upon hearing this, Xia Ningxing immediately understood the reason for his displeasure.

She smiled helplessly and comforted him, "Boys are good, too. I’ll give you a girl in a couple of years."

"Let’s not, having a baby is too painful," Lu Tingli once again repeated his previous refusal.

It wasn’t that he didn’t adore little girls, but he couldn’t bear to see her going through the agony of childbirth again.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t have been clearer about his intent, and instantly her heart felt as if it were filled with a jar of honey, sickeningly sweet.

His consideration for her health was precisely the demonstration of his care for her.

She didn’t continue to argue with him on this topic. After all, when it came to having a second child, the decision was up to her!

"Grandpa, you said earlier that you wanted to personally name the child. Have you decided on a name?" Xia Ningxing then lifted her eyes to look at Sir Lu.

"I was still thinking, by the full moon I must have come up with a good name," Sir Lu said, visibly conflicted.

He had thought of quite a few but still hadn’t settled on a specific one.

Aunt Lu said with a smile, "This is the Lu Family’s eldest great-grandson—no rush, Dad, take your time."

"That’s right, no need to hurry, Grandpa, take your time," Xia Ningxing also said with a smile.

Sir Lu smiled too, "It’s inconvenient not to have a name, I will definitely think of one soon."

It seemed as if the little one overheard everyone discussing names, and he sneakily cracked open his eyes.

Although the little guy was quite ugly, his eyes were exceptionally large, with black and white pupils clear as the world’s most pristine spring water, and his long eyelashes fluttering like constantly beating wings.

Adorable.

Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but raise her fair finger and gently touch his soft cheek, "Baby’s awake, huh!"

The baby, seemingly aware that his mother was greeting him, immediately curled his lips and, looking silly and dopey, opened his toothless little mouth and began to laugh cheerily.

His "giggling" childish voice was soft and mushy like a bowl of sweet rice soup.

His little dimples were round, and his tiny fists were shaking non-stop.

"How can you be so cute!" His laughter almost melted everyone’s hearts in the room, making them wish they could hold him close and spoil him.

Lu Tingli couldn’t help but smile as well, seemingly charmed by the cuteness.

In future terms, the little one was ugly-cute.

"Lu, do you want to hold him too?" Xia Ningxing saw him staring at the child and took the opportunity to foster some father-son bonding.

After all, favoring girls over boys wasn’t good.

As parents, whether one had a son or a daughter, it’s important to be fair, so siblings can develop a good relationship, and in turn, establish correct, healthy and positive values.

Lu Tingli stared at the little one for a moment, hesitated, then nodded, "Then let’s hold him."

After all, it was the little cub his wife had painfully delivered, even if he didn’t do it for the child, he had to do it for his wife’s sake.

"To you, Lu, but be gentle, oh, and you have to hold the baby like this..." Xia Ningxing handed the baby to him while instructing him on how to hold it.

Lu Tingli held the baby awkwardly and stiffly, daring not to move, afraid of harming him.

Seeing him like this, Xia Ningxing couldn’t help but laugh unabashedly.

"What’s so funny? You were the same at first!" Lu Tingli’s face bloomed with a questionable shade of red, and then he tried his best to pretend to be relaxed and not at all tense, in an attempt to save face.

Xia Ningxing was sheepishly embarrassed.

Watching the novice parents tease each other, everyone couldn’t help but cover their lips and snicker secretly.

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli: "..."

What’s so funny, doesn’t everyone have a first time!

After rolling her eyes at everyone, Xia Ningxing lowered her head and softly told Bao’er, who was in Lu Tingli’s arms, "Baby, this is your daddy, understand?"

Even though she knew the little infant couldn’t recognize people yet, Xia Ningxing just couldn’t help talking to him, introducing the family members to him.

The baby, looking adorably clueless, sucked on his finger while gazing at the man in front of him.

What is a daddy? He seems not as good-looking as mommy.

Xia Ningxing then said, "Lu, look, Bao’er is watching you right now. Don’t you have anything you want to say to the child?"

"Nothing," Lu Tingli shook his head, but soon he reconsidered, "Wait, actually, there is something."

"What?" Xia Ningxing asked.

Lu Tingli stared at the little one in his arms, his thin lips curling slightly as he said with his usual sharp tongue, "Why do you look like a monkey, so ugly."
