Chapter 123 She's quite something; she gave birth to a person.
"He is indeed a bit...heartbreaking."
This was Sheng Tingwang's most direct feeling.
A rich young master, who did whatever he wanted from a young age, chose his favorite major and did the job he liked.
One day, he suddenly realized that his job pay was far from enough for a man who needed to support his family.
He was in pain and struggling.
He desperately searched for ways to make money.
He worked tirelessly, conducted scientific research, and sold patents. Ultimately, he desperately wanted to provide security for the woman he loved.
Understanding is one thing.
But Ye Tang felt too sorry for him.
Sheng Tingwang was also presumptuous.
"Tingwang, if you have the chance, you still have to help me persuade him again. Men don't necessarily have to earn a lot of money to feel a sense of accomplishment. Managing a marriage and family well is just as great. What I need is a healthy and happy husband, not a husband who puts a lot of pressure on himself every day just to make money."
"Don't worry, I'll talk to him."
Ye Tang snapped out of her thoughts.
I looked down at my baby's cute little face.
She's quite something; she gave birth to a child.
After finishing his call, Gu Lin walked over and said, "The postpartum care center said they will customize a menu according to your preferences. They will confirm it with you again when you go there."
"Okay, sure."
"Um..." He had something to tell her, "...I registered a company that specializes in researching clinical devices and drugs. It's currently raising funds and the response is quite good. I also happen to have a few projects on hand, which are done with hospitals, and I plan to use them to test the waters in the new company. The reason I didn't tell you was because I didn't want you to worry..."
Ye Tang was taken aback, but she also felt relieved.
He eventually stepped out of his comfort zone.
She always felt that she was the one who ruined him.
He was clearly such an unambitious person.
"fine."
Gu Lin was slightly taken aback. "You're not angry that I didn't tell you beforehand?"
"What does it matter? You told me beforehand, and I objected, so you're not going to do it? Gu Lin, I've known you for so many years, do you think I don't know you?"
Gu Lin said a little apologetically, "I'm sorry, Tangtang, I really want to make something of myself, but I don't know how to do anything else, so this is the only line of work I can do."
"Go ahead and do it if you want. If you need my investment, I can invest some too."
She is not angry.
Instead, she gently stroked his hair and said, "It's nothing serious."
"Thank you, Tangtang."
He held her, his head pressing against her chest. She pushed him away in pain, saying, "You're pressing on my breast tissue. Get away from me."
"Oh, okay, okay."
He was very careful, afraid of running into Ye Tang.
The movements were extremely light, and even the breathing was held back.
When his gaze fell on his daughter's sleeping face again, the tenderness in his eyes was so deep that it couldn't be softened.
He stared blankly for a while before lowering his voice and asking Ye Tang, "Tangtang... let me give our daughter a nickname."
Ye Tang turned her head and whispered, "What do you want to call me?"
Looking at his daughter's chubby cheeks and her tiny arms and legs like lotus roots, he felt an overwhelming affection for her. "Let's call her Rou Rou (Meatball). Look how chubby she is, so cute!"
Ye Tang frowned slightly. "It doesn't sound good."
Gu Lin pondered for a moment.
"Then... is your name Shui Shui? You're a young lady, pure and gentle, like water."
"It still doesn't sound very good." Ye Tang's voice was soft and gentle. "I want something cuter, the kind that makes your heart feel sweet just listening to it."
He paused, his gaze shifting between Ye Tang's serene face and his daughter's sleeping face.
It has a new name.
"How about calling me Tangyuan? Your name has 'Tang' in it. Tang and Tang mean round and full," he said with satisfaction, grinning smugly. "Isn't that just like 'Tangyuan'? Round and soft, sweet and warm. My goodness, I really admire myself. I'm so talented."
Ye Tang was amused by him.
I looked down at the small dumpling.
That's a really good name.
She finally nodded, "Then let's call it Tangyuan (sweet rice balls)."
During Ye Tang's postpartum confinement period.
Besides taking care of her, Gu Lin worked until the early hours of the morning almost every day.
Although he runs a company, he's doing what he's good at. Apart from worrying about his health, Ye Tang isn't too concerned.
"Ms. Ye." The nurse in charge of her meals came in and spoke to her, "Over there at the visitor registration, there's someone named Xu Mingzhu who wants to visit you. Is she your friend?"
Ye Tang, who was drinking soup, almost threw the bowl away.
Gu Lin isn't here right now.
Xu Mingzhu is here?
"Where is she...where is she now?"
"They're waiting in the reception area outside. I need your permission before I can let the visitors in."
Ye Tang put down the soup bowl. "Please invite her in."
"OK."
The nurse left.
It took about ten minutes.
Xu Mingzhu entered her room.
Actually, Ye Tang had met Xu Mingzhu before. She had a very elegant appearance and dressed in a very luxurious manner.
Gu Lin looks about 70% like her.
However, she did not have a deep relationship with Xu Mingzhu.
"You've arrived," Ye Tang said politely.
Xu Mingzhu glanced at her indifferently, without much emotion or feeling, and said, "It seems you're recovering quite well."
"fine."
Ye Tang wanted to get out of bed.
Xu Mingzhu raised her hand to stop her, "Lie down, don't move around too much during your postpartum period."
"oh."
Xu Mingzhu went to the crib to see the baby.
She seemed to really like the baby; she held her and talked to her for a while, making little noises.
"A girl?" she asked.
Ye Tang replied, "Mm."
"That's good, the child looks like Gu Lin."
Xu Mingzhu gently put the baby down, putting away her loving gesture.
Speaking seriously to Ye Tang, "You and Gu Lin have been married for so long, and this kid hasn't come home even once. Aren't you going to try to persuade him?"
Ye Tang truly did not know about this.
Gu Lin was probably angry too.
"I'm not quite sure, so..."
"Ye Tang," Xu Mingzhu interrupted her explanation, "You, as her daughter-in-law, bear an undeniable responsibility for your son's refusal to come home, do you understand?"
Ye Tang: ...
What does this have to do with her?
It's not like she's the one who won't let Gu Lin go back.
"Auntie, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with me, does it? Gu Lin is an adult; he wants to go home to visit his parents. Can I stop him?"
Ye Tang didn't want to argue with Xu Mingzhu.
But you have to have evidence to accuse her; she won't admit to making baseless accusations.
"Are you talking back to me?" Xu Mingzhu's face darkened.
Ye Tang softened her tone, lowering her voice considerably, "I'm not arguing with you, I'm just stating the facts. If you have any issues, communicate with him directly. There's no need to take it out on me."
Xu Mingzhu raised her hand, "Forget it, I'm not trying to take my anger out on you. It's true that our son is immature, but we parents also have our shortcomings. We've already had the child, and we haven't even given you a gift or anything."
She got up and walked to Ye Tang, took off the purple jadeite bracelet she was wearing, and put it on Ye Tang's wrist. "I've worn this bracelet for years, now it's yours."
Ye Tang didn't quite understand what she meant.
She blinked her eyes blankly.
At this moment, Gu Lin returned.
When he saw his mother there, his first thought was that Ye Tang had been bullied.
"mom."
