Chapter 789: Yu Dong disliked by her own son ——2
-------------------Uncle Fu took care of the umbilical cord with sanitised scissors and then swaddled the child in a warm cloth before he turned to Ye Liu and asked him to throw the bloody clothes out which was a good thing because as soon as Ye Liu left the room, Yu Dong who was as anxious as an ant on hot pan burst inside the room with Xiao Hua and Chen Mi who carrying a hot bowl of chicken soup in his hands.
" Is..everything okay?" Yu Dong asked nervously, when little bun was born, she was still getting used to everything which was happening around her thus she never got a chance to feel nervous what was more she did not have much emotional connection with these mers back then thus she was not as nervous as she was at the moment.
She looked at Fang Chi whose ears were tied by a scarf and then turned to look at the child who was all wrinkly, his skin was red and with some white skin which was peeling. A bright vermillion mark was on his forehead which gleamed under the light—— at this moment, he was wriggling in his swaddle cloth clearly uncomfortable with the fact that he was tied up in a small space when he had such a bigger space to move around in his daddy\'s belly.
When Yu Dong saw the child, a smile crept on her lips instantly. She did not know that it was possible for her to love someone at first sight since she did not believe in love at first sight but now that she was looking at this child of hers, she realised that love at first sight can always happen.
Seeing Yu Dong look at the child with such adoration, Shen Li picked up the young child and then stretched out his arms in front of Yu Dong to hold the baby but for the first time in his life, he saw Yu Dong look at him with a pale expression.
Just as he thought that she was going to say something harsh, he heard her say, " I…what if I break him ?"
She was a cultivator and her strength was much better than the rest of the women in the village, it was not out of exaggeration that Yu Dong was scared of carrying the child. She was too strong and the child was too fragile, she was worried that a single misgiving on her part might cause a mishap to take place.
When Shen Li heard her worries, he was so amused that he laughed. But then he shook his head and then said, " You are going to experience this same thing many times in the future, what are you doing getting scared of holding your own child?"
No wonder she did not hold little bun until he was a few days old and was much stronger than when he was just a newborn baby.
Yu Dong looked at the child who was being held out in front of her, she was a bit helpless seeing the tiny little thing but she could only rub her hands on a clean cloth which was handed to her by Uncle Fu and take hold of the child in her arms gingerly.
However, it seemed that the child did not like his mother too much. As soon as Shen Li took his hands away from the baby, the young baby scrunched up his face and then cried like the world was coming to an end, he startled Yu Dong so much that she handed her son back to Shen Li and crossed her hands behind her back as if to say that she did not do anything.
At the same time, she looked at the child carefully to see if she had hurt him, though she had controlled her strength, who knows maybe she underestimated the fragility of a baby?
Uncle Fu looked at Yu Dong\'s helpless and timid expression and could not help but laugh as he said, "It\'s nothing to worry about, my youngest was like that as well—— it\'s because Chi and the rest are mers thus he is familiar with them since they were the first to hold him and got used to their touches but you are different than the mers which is why he is not comfortable… take one step at a time, he will get used to your touch as well."
" Oh. I see," Yu Dong felt rather dumb when she heard that it was just a matter of touch and nothing else but she still did not reach out to take the child and decided to give him a day to settle down. There was no need to overwhelm the child, it was better to take it slow and steady, she thought in her head.
Seeing that his younger brother had refused their mother, little bun reached out his hands to Yu Dong as if trying to tell her —— \'It\'s all right, you still have me.\'
His coaxing worked on Yu Dong who immediately took her eldest son in her arms and hugged him tight, well at least one of her kids did not dislike her.
Chen Mi and the rest were amused by their actions. It seemed that both mother and son had forgotten that when little bun was born, he too cried like this younger one when Yu Dong took him in his arms but no one mentioned the past and let Yu Dong soothe her wounded heart in silence.
Shen Li also did not give Yu Dong or the baby a child, it was still early for the two of them to get used to each other and brought the child back to Fang Chi who took his son with a smile on his face.
