Ji Xiaoli felt that giving birth to this baby had been a smooth process. She was usually quite afraid of pain, but for some reason, she didn't feel any pain at all when giving birth to this baby.
Moreover, perhaps due to the system, the baby was even cuter and more delicate than other children of the same age.
The baby didn't cry or make a fuss. Those big eyes just blinked, which was extremely endearing.
Wei Yanlan finally completely let go of her company affairs and would come over from time to time to hold her grandson.
"Xiaoli, look at those eyes. They're just like yours when you were a kid. And that mouth is so much like Nanfeng's. And this nose is exactly like your dad's. How can he be so cute?"
Holding her grandson in her arms, her heart melted.
Ji Xiaoli twitched the corner of her mouth. "Mom, is it really that exaggerated?"
Wei Yanlan couldn't have been happier. "Of course! I remember when you were a kid, you were just like my well - behaved grandson. Your eyes were as bright as jewels, and your eyelashes were so long. You could tell even then that you'd grow up to be a handsome guy!"
"Let me take a look. It really is." Ji Xiaoli leaned over to take a look. Just then, the baby suddenly blinked at her and babbled something.
Wei Yanlan said gratifyingly, "Xiaoli, is he calling you Mom?"
This was the first time Ji Xiaoli had been so close to a child. She couldn't help but curiously poke the baby's cheek with her finger.
It was quite soft and bouncy.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yanlan started to teach her hand - in - hand how to hold the baby and take care of it.
Ji Xiaoli wasn't stupid. She quickly got the hang of it.
Moreover, the baby was extremely well - behaved and sensible. Usually, the baby didn't cry or make a fuss, just looking at people with a smiling face. Just one look would melt anyone's heart.
While most people got more and more annoyed taking care of a child, Ji Xiaoli got more and more fond of it. She basically carried the baby with her wherever she went and even slept next to the crib at night.
As a result, Zheng Nanfeng, who was left alone in the empty room, finally couldn't sit still.
"Xiaoli, why do you carry the baby around every day but not me?"
"You're such a grown - up. Do you still need me to carry you? Aren't you ashamed?"
Ji Xiaoli said without even turning her head.
Zheng Nanfeng was at a loss for words. That wasn't what he meant at all, okay?
He just wanted to remind Ji Xiaoli that he had been neglected by her for a long time!
But Ji Xiaoli was so happy holding the baby that she didn't notice Zheng Nanfeng's expression at all.
Zheng Nanfeng wasn't discouraged. He walked around to Ji Xiaoli's front. "Xiaoli, how about I carry the baby?"
But as a man, he had great strength. Even though he was as careful as he could be, when he touched the baby, he still managed to make the baby cry.
"Get out of here. Don't touch my baby!" Ji Xiaoli immediately gave him a sideways glance and then looked at the baby lovingly.
"My baby's skin is so delicate. Don't hurt him."
"Xiaoli, am I important or is he important?" Zheng Nanfeng was speechless.
Since the baby was born, he felt that his status in the family had dropped straight down.
"You're my husband, but this is my baby. How can you be compared with him?"
Ji Xiaoli said while comforting the baby without even turning her head.
Zheng Nanfeng also said exaggeratedly, "Fine, fine, fine. I get it. In short, I've fallen out of favor."
"Is there even a father who gets jealous of his own child?" Ji Xiaoli couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw this.
"Can I not be jealous of him? This little guy doesn't let his own wife accompany me. He sleeps with my wife every day, leaving me alone in the empty room."
When Zheng Nanfeng said this, he pretended to wipe away a tear for himself.
"You're a father. Be more serious. The baby is so young. Of course, I have to take care of him all the time!"
Ji Xiaoli said helplessly.
The baby was so young. Zheng Nanfeng's jealousy was so unreasonable.
"I don't care. You must make a choice between the two of us today!"
Zheng Nanfeng said aggrievedly. He hadn't been able to hold Ji Xiaoli for several months. This stinky kid was kissed and hugged by Ji Xiaoli every day.
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. "Then of course I'll..."
"Of course, you'll choose me, right?" Zheng Nanfeng said confidently.
Ji Xiaoli gave a sly smile and then walked away with the baby in her arms. "Of course, I'll choose the baby!"
Zheng Nanfeng: …?
Not to mention how the father and son vied for Ji Xiaoli's attention, life was still wonderful.
The family was harmonious and happy, and Ji Xiaoli's career reached a new peak.
The variety show she designed herself was no longer just popular in China. Even foreign media had bought the copyright and made a foreign - version remake.
Some interested foreign netizens would even deliberately bypass the restrictions to come to China to watch the Chinese version.
As time went by, the popularity of this show reached a new level. It could almost be considered an ever - green variety show.
Ji Xiaoli's company also got on the right track. It was no longer just messing around in the small entertainment circle in China. It started to integrate with the international market.
Not long ago, it even cooperated with Hollywood to produce a New - Year blockbuster. The box office directly broke the historical record.
This also made the name Ji Xiaoli more thoroughly known to the world.
But to outsiders, Ji Xiaoli seemed more and more capable. At home, she would turn into a silly mom.
She would usually brag about the baby to Zheng Nanfeng. Sometimes when he wasn't around, she would brag to the system.
"System, look how cute my baby is!"
[This baby is really cute. He's even more likable than you.]
The system was obviously very curious about the baby and could even be said to have a good impression of it.
After all, it could be said that it had watched the baby grow up, and a sense of responsibility naturally arose.
Ji Xiaoli said proudly, "This is my baby. Of course, he's cute!"
Just thinking about the fact that the baby was blood - related to her made Ji Xiaoli's heart soften even more.
[Yes, yes, yes. I know the baby is cute. You don't have to brag about it every day.]
The system even rolled its eyes mentally.
Ji Xiaoli: "You don't understand. This is the baby I gave birth to myself. You can't experience this feeling."
The system's voice sounded a bit sour.
[Fine. You're right about everything, player. Anyway, it's not my child. I don't care.]
Ji Xiaoli laughed and then started to take care of the baby again.
[Wait. You're pressing on the baby's clothes. Be careful.]
Ji Xiaoli raised her eyebrows. "System, didn't you say you didn't care?
Why are you even reminding me about such a small thing?
[…]
The system typed out a string of ellipses in Ji Xiaoli's mind and then continued to "dive".
Just then, the baby looked at Ji Xiaoli curiously and then started to look around. "Ya..."
Ji Xiaoli was confused. "Strange. What is the baby doing?"
[It seems like the baby is looking for something.]
As soon as the system finished speaking, the baby's eyes lit up. The baby started to crane its neck and look for something on Ji Xiaoli.
Ji Xiaoli was completely at a loss. "What's going on? What on earth is the baby looking for?"
