Let's Divorce As Agreed

782  Baby Gu Reporting For Duty (3)

Gu Shaoting only snapped out of his thoughts when the baby started crying loudly.

He approached the baby and bent down to look at him.

Gu Shaoting observed that the baby's diaper was dry and wondered if he was hungry. But he couldn't drink milk just after being born, right? Gu Shaoting wasn't sure about these things, but with professionals taking care of him, he didn't need to worry.

The baby kept looking in his direction, and Gu Shaoting couldn't resist picking him up. However, he was extremely careful while doing so. Holding the tiny child, he felt a myriad of emotions. He was a father again, and this time, the feeling was surreal. He was actively involved in the process.

But more than anyone else, he welcomed the arrival of this baby.

He kissed the baby's forehead gently and placed him beside Shu Pan.

Baby Gu opened his mouth wide, squinted his eyes, and soon fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Shaoting watched the mother and son, feeling warm inside. They were the most important people in his life.

He kept looking at them, reluctant to shift his gaze away.

It felt like a long time passed before Shu Pan slowly opened her eyes. Gu Shaoting immediately went over. "How do you feel?"

"Where's the baby?" Shu Pan's first question after waking up was about the baby's whereabouts. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"Look beside you," Gu Shaoting hinted.

Shu Pan glanced down, and her eyes fell upon a swaddle covered with a thin blanket. Excitement welled up inside her, but as she leaned over to see, she felt a wave of pain coursing through her body. She was still very weak, unable to exert any strength.

Gu Shaoting brought Gu Baobei closer to her. Seeing her child, Shu Pan felt her eyes moisten. This was the child she had carried for ten months, gone through so much pain to bring into the world.

Shu Pan couldn't take her eyes off him, growing fonder by the moment. It was no wonder people said their own children were the cutest.

Because Shu Pan had posted a picture on her social media, her phone started buzzing incessantly with congratulatory messages.

Shu's father and Auntie Lu rushed to the hospital as soon as they found out. They gazed at the adorable nephew, their hearts filled with joy. "Come and see, he smiles just like Shu Pan did when she was little," Shu's father exclaimed.

Shu Pan was speechless. Song Can said he looked like Shaoting, while her father said he resembled her.

Auntie Lu chuckled. "He's just been born, how can we tell who he looks like yet?"

The baby's mouth stretched into a big grin for a moment, perhaps happy to see so many people around, making it lively and exciting.

After some cheerful banter, when the nurse came in to announce that visiting hours were over, they all left.

Shu Pan stayed in the hospital for a week, and Gu Shaoting accompanied her throughout. During this week, he didn't go to work but had his secretary, Secretary Zhang, bring important documents for him to review.

It wasn't until four days later that Shu Pan returned home.

Auntie Li had already prepared everything for the baby a few days earlier. Even the stroller was placed beside the bed. Shu Pan had to observe postpartum confinement, staying indoors and keeping warm. It was crucial to be cautious during this period; any negligence could lead to complications.

Shu Pan found it challenging to endure the hospital stay, but returning home didn't make time pass any faster. Even access to electronic devices was restricted; Song Can was worried about damaging their eyes. Her daily routine consisted of taking care of Gu Baobei and reading books.

As for Baby Gu, he ate and slept like clockwork, rarely fussing or crying. He particularly enjoyed playing with his older sister. Whenever Joy came to play with him, he would light up with joy.

After Shu Pan was discharged from the hospital, Gu Shaoting went back to work, but he made sure to return home as soon as his work was done.
