Xi Xiaye wanted to reject their offer because she did not feel quite hungry, yet she did not have the heart to reject their kind gesture.

Mu Tangchuan was rushing over for a dinner party, and he felt that the restaurant's pastries were not bad. In fact, his own wife was taking care of their daughter-in-law at the hospital too, so he brought some pastries over.

"Thank you, Father, Mother."

Mu Tangchuan, who stood behind Zhuang Shurong by the bedside, nodded and smiled. "It's fine. Your mother fancies these little pastries. They're only slightly sweet and not too greasy, so they should suit your taste too. If you want anything, just let your mother-in-law or grandmother make it for you."

"Mother and Grandmother have been stewing lavish meals for me every day. There's been a different flavor a day. I can't say for sure, but Grandmother and Mother's skills are wonderful. Don't worry. I'm recovering very well, but I'm just worried that when this confinement's over, my figure..."

As Xi Xiaye responded, she sat up with disheveled hair. Zhuang Shurong considerately fixed her hat and coat. "Be careful. You have to eat more with this physique of yours. Don't get sick during your confinement. Otherwise, when you get older, you'll be the one suffering. I remember when I gave birth to Ah Chen, I became much fatter, and I even put on 10 kilograms from before I was pregnant."

When Zhuang Shurong finished, Mu Tangchuan answered for her from behind, "15 kilograms."

As Mu Tangchuan said this, he was immediately met with a dangerous glare from Zhuang Shurong. He then turned around and cleared his throat. "Okay, it's getting quite late now. You can rest when you're done eating. Tonight, your mother will be accompanying you, so I'll be going back first."

Mu Tangchuan hinted at Zhuang Shurong with his gaze, his intentions clear. He wanted her to send her off.

Zhuang Shurong ignored him and handed the porridge to Xi Xiaye.

Xi Xiaye took the bowl and smiled through pursed lips. "Mother, how about you go back with Father first? I'm fine here. I can already get down from the bed and move around anyway. There are bodyguards outside and personal nurses. Don't worry. It's the eighth day of the New Year tomorrow, and you two have to go to work. Really, don't worry about me."

"Well, Xiaye, I just have some things to discuss with your mother. Later on, she'll still look after you. Don't worry," Mu Tangchuan said, and held Zhuang Shurong by the arm as he walked out of the door.

When Xi Xiaye saw this, she could only shake her head. Then, she silently lowered her head to have the porridge.

After she had half a small bowl, she did not continue. She drank a few gulps of warm water, and the phone that was set aside on the table vibrated. She quickly picked up to hear that it was the man.

"Hello? Mr. Mu."

"Mmm, haven't slept yet?" His deep and sensitive voice immediately came from the other end.

"Not yet. Earlier, the baby was hungry. Then, Father brought some pastries over. They're quite good. How's your thing coming along?" She propped herself up and pulled up the blanket as she asked.

"Mmm, not bad, but I don't think I'll be able to go home tonight. There are still some things to handle, so I plan to stay here for a bit more. Are you okay on your own?"

"I'm fine. I'm an adult, and I can take care of myself. Besides, Mother and the rest have been watching me. Mr. Mu, why do I find that you're getting more and more long-winded like you're reaching andropause or something?" Xi Xiaye was finding his cautious tone a little unusual.
