After the two lingered in the room for a while, little Mianmian also woke up. After Xiao Li fed her, the family of three went downstairs.
In the downstairs living room, Qin Father was playing chess, while Qin Mother was sipping coffee, everything was quiet and peaceful.
After yesterday's banquet ended, the Qin family's relatives had left, and even Qin Tan's family of three didn't stay in the Mountain View District but returned to the villa in S City.
So the house was back to just their family again.
Drinking coffee, Qin Mother saw Xiao Li and the others coming down, quickly put down her coffee, and stood up to take Mianmian in her arms...
Qin Mother said, "Xiao Li, are you hungry? Hurry up and go eat.
Your father and I have already eaten, I'll hold the baby..."
Xiao Li nodded with a smile and went to have breakfast with Qin Xiao.
Over in the dining area, when Qin Xiao and Xiao Li arrived, Aunt Wu served the dishes, all catered to Xiao Li's taste.
Having eaten nutrition meals for a month, Xiao Li's eyes lit up upon seeing the dishes different from her nutrition meals on the table; she hurriedly sat down and started eating eagerly...
Qin Xiao sat beside her, smilingly watching her eat, occasionally helping her with a dish...
After a few bites, Xiao Li also slowed down her eating pace, occasionally feeding Qin Xiao a bite or two.
In the dining area, this young couple, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li, were affectionately feeding each other...
In the living room, Qin Father and Qin Mother, this elderly couple, gathered to amuse their granddaughter...
Little Mianmian, having just eaten and slept well, seemed to be in good spirits. Qin Mother had just sat down on the sofa holding her, Qin Father also stopped playing chess to entertain his granddaughter.
The Qin family gene predominantly births boys; counting two generations upward, it's all boys. Qin Mother always regretted during her youth for only having boys.
Now that Xiao Li had given birth to a daughter, she is Qin Father and Qin Mother's first granddaughter, naturally, they're overjoyed.
After Xiao Li finished eating, seeing that little Mianmian was doing well, she thought that since she just fed her, she might not be looking for her now, so she planned to go upstairs to take a shower; she was too tired last night, didn't bathe, and now felt uncomfortable...
After mentioning it to Qin Mother, Xiao Li went up to the second floor to shower. As soon as she got up, before she got her clothes ready, her phone rang.
Xiao Li picked up the phone to see that it was a message from the group of close friends...
Feng Ye Piaopiao: [Xiao Li Li, are you awake or sleeping?]
Now as a mother, Xiao Li's daily routine was all messed up, so Feng Qing and the others never knew whether she was awake or asleep.
Every time they sent a WeChat, the first thing they asked was whether Xiao Li was awake or asleep.
If Xiao Li replied, they would start chatting. If not, they wouldn't send any messages, waiting for Xiao Li's response before continuing.
Seeing the WeChat, Xiao Li immediately replied...
Xiao Li: [Awake, what's up?]
Feng Ye Piaopiao: [Nothing, just checking if you've rested. If so, let's chat for a bit.]
Yesterday Feng Qing and the others also attended the one-month banquet, so they naturally knew Xiao Li was very tired yesterday.
However, they had some things they wanted to talk to Xiao Li about; yesterday's atmosphere wasn't suitable...
Xiao Li: [I'm well-rested, what do you want to talk about?]
Enamored for You: [We want to talk to you about the scar on your back...]
Upon hearing it, Xiao Li smiled and replied: [My back injury has healed well, no need to worry.]
The Disappearing Wenjing: [We're not worried about your wound; you were admitted to our hospital, so we know your injuries are healing well.
We're worried about the scar on your back. Xiao Li Li, do you think your big uncle would mind this scar?]
Enamored for You: [Most men care about a woman's appearance; although this scar is on your back, usually unseen, it'll be noticeable between you and your big uncle, won't it?]
Feng Ye Piaopiao: [Xiao Li Li, would you consider having plastic surgery later to remove the scar...?]
Seeing the messages from the three of them, Xiao Li was momentarily silent.
It's not that she was worried about Qin Xiao resenting the scar. Qin Xiao's feelings for her wouldn't change over a scar.
In her past life, her face was disfigured, her leg broken, her appearance far worse than now, yet Qin Xiao stayed loyal to her.
Now, instead of worrying about Qin Xiao changing his heart, Xiao Li was more concerned that every time Qin Xiao saw the scar, he would be reminded of when she was severely injured, which was too cruel to Qin Xiao.
After Xiao Li's surgery, when Feng Qing and the others visited her in the ward, they narrated Qin Xiao's demeanor at the operation room door to Xiao Li.
Actually, without them saying it, Xiao Li could imagine how someone who followed her everywhere must have felt, waiting outside the operation room during her critical injury, certainly tormented...
So, such scenes, Xiao Li couldn't bear to let Qin Xiao revisit.
Xiao Li sent a message, [My big uncle won't resent, he'll only be heartbroken every time he sees it.
And I don't want him to be heartbroken...]
Feng Ye Piaopiao: [So what's your plan...?]
Xiao Li: [No plan yet, let's talk about it in a few days!
I need to take a shower now.]
After sending the message, Xiao Li put down her phone, grabbed her clothes, and went to take a shower.
While showering, Xiao Li touched the scar on her back, contemplating whether she should have it removed.
Qin Xiao, noticing Xiao Li hadn't come down after a while, took Mianmian from Qin Mother's arms and went up to the second floor.
Entering the room, Qin Xiao first placed Mianmian in the crib to sleep, then went to knock on the bathroom door, "Nini, aren't you done yet?"
Qin Xiao's voice pulled Xiao Li's thoughts back instantly, "Almost done, why did you come up? Is Mianmian hungry?"
Now in the Qin Family, unless Mianmian was hungry for milk, Qin Xiao and they would bring Mianmian to Xiao Li; other matters wouldn't require Xiao Li's involvement.
Things like coaxing her to sleep, changing clothes, bathing weren't needed from Xiao Li.
Even feeding at times wasn't needed, like last night, she had a restful sleep; when Mianmian got hungry, Qin Xiao managed with formula milk.
Sometimes Xiao Li jokingly referred to herself as an artificial bottle.
Qin Xiao replied, "No, Mianmian's asleep. I just noticed you've been washing for a while, so I checked."
Since Xiao Li's incident, whenever Xiao Li left Qin Xiao's sight for a longer duration, he would feel uneasy.
Xiao Li knew this was the aftermath of that incident, something difficult to eradicate quickly...
While drying herself, Xiao Li said, "Just chatting with Feng Qing for a bit, took some time. I'm almost done."
Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao chuckled, "No rush, take your time..."
Even though Qin Xiao said no rush, Xiao Li had indeed finished showering, she dressed and stepped out.
Coming out, she saw Qin Xiao already waiting with the hairdryer.
