Of course, this was just a wonderful thought of Ning Anmiao.
The moment she was wheeled into the delivery room, she finally knew what it meant to be in a living hell. The waves of labor pains made her feel like she was going to pass out several times.
Lu Yan, standing outside the delivery room, had a gloomy face. His tightened jawline never relaxed for a moment.
Ning's father and mother were equally anxious, looking up from time to time.
It was not until the delivery was over.
"The mother and daughter are safe."
When the doctor and the nurse wheeled the pregnant woman and the baby out with smiles on their faces, Lu Yan rushed over directly and followed Ning Anmiao into the post - delivery ward.
He didn't even mention a single word about the baby.
Ning Anmiao was soaked in sweat, her hair was wet, and her small face was extremely pale. It seemed as if she had just walked through the gates of hell.
When she woke up, her first words to Lu Yan were, "Giving birth is so painful. I'll never give birth again."
There was also overflowing distress in Lu Yan's eyes. "Okay, we won't have any more."
Previously, they had talked about it. If one child was too lonely, they could have another one so that they could keep each other company.
Now it seemed that there was no need for that.
Although she complained about the difficulty of giving birth, when Bai Jiaying brought the baby over, Ning Anmiao's eyes softened again.
She had just heard from Lu Yan that it was a daughter.
The little one was as well - behaved as when she was in her mother's womb. She didn't cry or make a fuss and was sleeping soundly.
Ning Anmiao's eyes fell on her, and there was an indescribable feeling.
This was the daughter of her and Lu Yan.
"We haven't named her yet." Ning Anmiao suddenly remembered something and whispered softly, afraid of waking up the baby in her arms.
"Her name is Wanning. Dad had already named her before." Lu Yan also lowered his voice. The two of them looked at the baby in their arms together.
Wanning. It was really a nice name, Ning Anmiao thought.
---
On the afternoon when the name was chosen.
"If it's a boy, his name will be Qian'an; if it's a girl, her name will be Wanning. What do you think?"
Hearing Ning's father's idea, Lu Yan nodded and replied with a smile.
Qian'an (which sounds like "holding An"), Wanning (which sounds like "embracing Ning"), both names contained Ning Anmiao's name.
Lu Yan was satisfied with either of them.
...
Babies grow up fast and change every day.
Ning Anmiao was very protective of the baby. She directly put the crib in the bedroom and got up repeatedly at night to check on the baby.
Under Ning Anmiao's careful care, the first word the little Wanning said was not "mom" but "dad".
Ning Anmiao felt quite upset.
However, Lu Yan was in a very good mood. He hugged his daughter and kissed her several times. His fondness for her even made Ning Anmiao jealous.
"You promised that I'd be your only treasure in this lifetime. How come you care more about our daughter than me?" Ning Anmiao said sourly.
Lu Yan's hand holding his daughter paused. Then he lovingly looked down at his daughter.
"Do you like daddy?"
The little Wanning in his arms nodded with a smile and reached out her hand to pinch daddy's face.
Ning Anmiao felt even more upset.
"Will you listen to daddy?"
Wanning nodded again.
Lu Yan showed a satisfied smile and lovingly stroked her head. "From tomorrow on, you'll sleep with grandpa and grandma."
Wanning:?
Before the little girl could fill her eyes with tears, Lu Yan very coldly stuffed the baby into the room of Ning's parents. Along with the annoying crib, he sent it there as well.
Ning Anmiao was stunned.
She never expected that Lu Yan had been scheming.
Looking at the large empty space in the bedroom, Lu Yan felt that he could breathe more smoothly.
Finally, he could have a two - person world with his Miaomiao.
He planned in his heart that when little Wanning was a bit older, he would let Ning's father and mother take her to Jiangcheng. Anyway, he was relieved to let them take care of the baby.
By then, no one would be allowed to disturb him and Miaomiao. Not even his own daughter.
It was just that Ning Anmiao didn't know about these plans at that time.
---I'm the Divider for Campus Memories---
In Ning Anmiao's memory, she was the first to know Lu Yan.
But in fact, Lu Yan fell in love with her much earlier, even earlier than she thought.
It was an afternoon without classes.
Lu Yan was dragged by Lin Chuluo to play basketball on the basketball court. Lin Chuluo said it was to relax. He originally wanted to refuse, but the matters of the Lu family were bothering him, so he agreed.
He remembered that the wind was stuffy that afternoon. There was moisture in his palms. He lost interest after shooting the ball a few times.
"Let's go back. It's too hot." Lu Yan wiped the sweat off his forehead and said calmly, "I have to go home later."
The Lu family wanted him to take over the family business. Besides being busy with his studies, he had to consider more things, which made him even more irritated.
"Okay, let's go back." Lin Chuluo also regretted it. No one expected it to be so hot in the afternoon. "Are you going to the evening self - study today?"
"No. The old man wants to see me." Lu Yan hugged the basketball and walked straight out of the basketball court. His mind was a bit irritated.
Thinking of the old man's false smiling face and the hostile looks from the whole Lu family, a shadow appeared in his eyes.
As a result, without paying attention, he bumped into a girl head - on.
He was walking fast and with great strength, and he directly knocked the girl down. She subconsciously rubbed her forehead.
That girl was Ning Anmiao.
Seeing that he had bumped into someone, he subconsciously bent down and reached out his hand to help her up. But the other person seemed even more dazed than him. She stood up on her own and walked away in a hurry.
She didn't even say a single word.
Lin Chuluo walked over and said with a smile, "The girl just now is the campus belle of our school, the goddess and top student of the Chinese Studies Department, Ning Anmiao."
"She's pursuing a double degree, so she's usually quite busy. Maybe she didn't have time to talk to you just now, right?"
This tone was quite unpleasant, as if they had a very close relationship.
"Do you know her?" Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.
Lin Chuluo smiled gently. His expression was mild, but there was obviously a hint of pride in his tone. "Yes. She needed my help for her thesis research and we did a survey together."
Although there was nothing wrong with this statement, Lu Yan's feeling of discomfort grew stronger.
He knew he shouldn't care so much, but he still couldn't help looking in the direction of the departing beautiful figure several times.
Later, during a basketball game, the moment the basketball hit her, his first reaction was to rush to her side and pick her up.
The moment he picked her up, there was moisture in Lu Yan's palms again. It was a kind of nervousness and eagerness he had never felt before.
She was so light, he thought.
Even at that moment, an unprecedented impulse came to his mind:
He wanted to hold her all the time, at any moment.
Forever—
"Actually, I've been waiting for you for a long time."
"Before you."
"I fell in love with you a long time ago, even earlier than you think."
