He Jiayu only came back to his senses then and charged into the room in long strides .
His first reaction wasn’t to check the baby, but to go up to Su Xiaomo and hold her hands tightly .
Although Su Xiaomo hadn’t suffered much, she was still worn out a little . Seeing him approach, she asked in a weak voice, “Where’s the baby?”
“The nurse took her away to clean her . ” He Jiayu was no longer as poised as he usually was . “Momo, we have a child now!”
A child that belonged to both of them .
AdvertisementSu Xiaomo snorted . “Calm down, ok? You’re overreacting!”
Mr . He gave a silly smile at her disdain instead of feeling indignant, which made Su Xiaomo roll her eyes .
However, she couldn’t help but giggle with him .
As it turned out, giving birth wasn’t the most painful thing in the world; instead, it actually brought a sense of happiness and fulfillment .
“How do you feel?” He Jiayu watched her in concern .
Su Xiaomo pondered for a moment before saying, “Like I’m ready to have a few more of those…”
Pfft —

He Jiayu didn’t know how to react . Why did that sound so weird?
Was his wife… a little too tough?
“Here comes the baby!” An Xiaxia’s excited cry came from outside and Su Xiaomo managed to keep her spirits up . “Where’s my baby? Let me see her . ”
A nurse brought in a baby, beaming with delight . She couldn’t stop lauding the little girl . “You have a beautiful baby . She’s got shiny black hair . I rarely see any baby born with such nice hair…”
Su Xiaomo took one glance and she was baffled .
Why was the baby all wrinkly and pink? And her eyes were closed and she barely had any eyebrows…
AdvertisementIn one word: Ugly .
In two words: So ugly .
In a sentence: She was unbelievably ugly!
“Is she yours? Why is she so ugly?” Su Xiaomo immediately put the blame on He Jiayu .
He Jiayu was baffled . “Otherwise? Whose baby can she be?”
“Is there a mistake or something? This baby is such an eyesore!” Su Xiaomo said in disdain .
As if sensing her mother’s attitude, the baby began to cry .

He Jiayu listened earnestly and comforted the baby clumsily in his arms . The baby didn’t have much energy yet . She fell asleep again after a little while .
Seeing the sunlight pour in through the window onto the tall man holding the baby, Su Xiaomo felt that life couldn’t be more perfect .
Other than the fact that the baby was a little ugly .
The baby despised by her own mother: I feel like crying a river .
After a few meals of fish soup, Su Xiaomo began to produce milk .
Holding little Cuddlie in a rigid pose, she began to breastfeed her .

Little Cuddlie was no longer wrinkly or pink after a few days, and her delicate features had begun to show . She was getting cuter by the day . An Xiaxia was so envious that she almost felt like snatching the baby into her own arms .
Su Xiaomo said wistfully, “I feel like a portable lunch box now . As soon as the baby cries, I have to feed her… Sigh . Why is life so hard?”
“Enough!” An Xiaxia smacked her own forehead . “By the way, why is her name Cuddlie? Any meaning behind it?”
“Heh… you know, as in ‘she’s so cuddly . ’ Do you like it?” Su Xiaomo smiled awkwardly .
She would never admit that she was going to call her baby “Uglie” at first .
And she would never forget the despairing look on He Jiayu’s face when he heard the name “Uglie . ”
