Chu He was too lazy to use her hands, so he patiently fed them to her.

Once, when Butler Fu came by the study to do some cleaning, he saw Chu He sleeping in Gu Jinglian’s arms. Gu Jinglian was holding a book in his hand. Unlike the usual reference books that he would read, he was now focused on reading about postpartum care.

There was no denying that Chu He was living a blissful life.

It was not that Gu Jinglian had never had women in the past, but none of them were treated like this!

He served Chu He like she was the empress dowager, always ensuring that nothing would go wrong. Even Chu He laughed at them for being too anxious. It was just a pregnancy, they were overreacting. It wasn’t as if she had never had a baby. She’d endured the long period of pregnancy alone when she was carrying Baby Chu.

Now, everyone in the Gu family was watching over her every move, this was too much! However, although that was the case, Chu He found it very heartwarming! After all, this was the first time in her life that she felt like she was valued.

This must be the warmth of family

Chu He thought back to one time when she set up camp in the rain forest while on a mission. One of the mercenaries she was working with suddenly took out a photograph to show her. She looked at it. It was a picture of his five-year-old daughter. The child was cute and pretty. She had his eyebrows.

He said very proudly, “My daughter!”

However, after a pause, he said with some disappointment, “Unfortunately, I haven’t given her mother a status yet!”

He had been out on missions all year round and they had been apart for many years. Before they could get married, their daughter arrived.

In the past, he was a sharp man with rough edges, full of arrogance. However, after having a daughter, he actually became much more mature and steady.

He said, “When this mission is over and we make another profit, I’ll go home, get married and have more children.”

Unexpectedly, during that mission, he was injured and broke his left arm at the elbow. One could say this was the end to his career as a mercenary.

After announcing his retirement, Chu He sent him off. As he walked away from the mercenary team, she saw a woman carrying a little girl, walking up to him.

The little girl was horrified when she saw the man’s broken arm and burst into tears.

It was a heart wrenching moment for the man. Despite his broken arm, he insisted on carrying her. He coaxed her, “Daddy will always be with you from now on. I won’t go away anymore.”

During the amputation, the man did not so much as crease his brow. However, now as he carried his daughter, he cried like never before. The tenderness in his expression was not something that anyone had ever seen.

A father’s love is silent but deep.

Gu Jinglian was the same now.

Although he spoke little, she would sometimes catch him secretly putting his ear to her belly to listen. He would do that when she was lying in bed and he thought she was asleep. A gentle smile would appear on his face whenever he heard the slightest trace of fetal movement.

He would even talk to the two little ones through Yun Shishi’s belly.

‘Can you hear Daddy?’ Gu Jinglian would stroke her swollen belly gently and say, “We’ll meet in a month or so.”

As he spoke, he would realize that he was being rather childish, and inevitably start laughing.

It was this laughter that melted her heart.
