However, as Da Bao’er swallowed, Zhang Shanni felt more and more swollen and also experienced pain—
This?
Confusion flashed through Zhang Shanni’s eyes, what was wrong with her body?
Shanni’s wife slightly knitted her brow, and Xie Jingchen immediately sensed something was amiss. He had barely moved when he heard her hiss in pain, and knew right away that something was definitely wrong with her body.
"Wife, what’s wrong? Does it hurt here?" Xie Jingchen never avoided discussing discomfort with his wife, seeing her frown deepen into a ’chuan’ character, he carefully took action.
"It hurts!" Zhang Shanni said with tears at the corner of her eyes.
At this moment, Da Bao’er was already full and had gone back to sleep obediently.
"Wife, just wait a moment, let me put the baby down first." Xie Jingchen put the baby from his wife’s arms to the foot of the bed, then quickly got a towel that was slightly warmer and placed it on her sore spot.
"Yi!" Zhang Shanni let out a soft exclamation. The contact between something hot and hard made her involuntarily let out a low hiss.
Xie Jingchen’s hands paused, but he didn’t move away. Instead, he coaxed gently, "Wife, bear with it a bit longer, I’m going to bring Little Baobao over, let her drink the milk, and it should be better then."
Seeing his wife’s discomfort with breastfeeding, he had a moment of hesitation. But for the sake of the babies, his wife would surely not agree with him not breastfeeding, so why bring it up and upset her for no reason?
On further thought, his wife’s current pain and swelling might be because one side was clear and comfortable, while the other was still blocked and swollen. The contrast was probably making her feel even more miserable.
If only the little princess could also suckle all the milk, it might not be so uncomfortable... right?!
No sooner thought than done. After covering his wife, he called Sister Jiang in softly, asking her to take Da Bao’er out to burp, then instructed Sister Jiang to watch the door of the sickroom. Only then did Xie Jingchen place his treasured little princess in his wife’s arms.
Seeing Zhang Shanni’s pallor and her tender, warm gaze on the little daughter below her, Xie Jingchen could tell that his wife was trying hard to adapt, learning how to be a new mom.
This maternal love radiating from her heart, the residual pain in her body, had become secondary. All she had was the intrinsic nature of a mother—mom’s nature.
After placing the little princess beside his wife, Xie Jingchen brought over another basin of warm water to clean her up again, watching his wife close her eyes, shy and embarrassed. Xie Jingchen had no leisure for teasing her anymore, because Zhang Shanni’s blushing face couldn’t hide the deep frown caused by physical discomfort.
He followed the same procedure as before to get the little princess to feed.
