Chapter 156 The End of Happiness
The piercing alarm and the hurried footsteps intertwined, and the air outside the operating room seemed to freeze. Time passed by minute by minute, and every second was torture for Xiang Yu. He paced back and forth, waiting anxiously, and his mind kept replaying the scene when the doctors and nurses pushed Yan Jin into the operating room.
"Yan Jin, you must be safe. My child and I are waiting for you..." Xiang Yu prayed silently in his heart, his palms full of sweat.
After a long wait, the door of the operating room finally opened, and a nurse came out holding a swaddled baby. "Congratulations, Mr. Xiang, it's a healthy little princess."
Hearing these words, Xiang Yu, who had been tense, finally breathed a sigh of relief. He walked forward quickly, staring at the baby in the cradle, his eyes full of disbelief and ecstasy.
"Can I hold her?" Xiang Yu's voice trembled a little. He carefully took the child from the nurse, fearing that his rough movements would hurt this fragile little life.
The baby had fair skin, thick black hair, and her eyes were tightly closed. Her long eyelashes were like two rows of small fans, casting a shadow on her fair face. Her little mouth was slightly open, as if she was looking for something, and occasionally she would make a slight humming sound.
Xiang Yu's heart melted instantly. He looked down at the little life in his arms, and an unprecedented warmth surged into his heart. He gently touched the baby's tender cheek with his fingers, feeling the softness and warmth.
"She is so beautiful, just like you." Mrs. Xiang, who had been silent all the time, looked at her granddaughter. A kind smile appeared on her face, but tears welled up in the corners of her eyes.
Xiang Yu didn't say anything, but just nodded gently, his eyes unwilling to leave the baby in his arms for a moment.
"The child hasn't been named yet?" reminded Mr. Xiang at the side.
"Just call me..." Xiang Yu was about to say the name he had already thought of in his mind, but was interrupted by a weak voice.
"Wow...wow..."
Xiang Yu looked down and found that the baby had opened his eyes at some point and was looking at the world curiously. His black eyes were as clear and bright as two black grapes, and his little mouth opened and closed, as if he was trying to say something.
"The child seems hungry." The nurse said with a smile.
Hearing this, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin's mother looked towards the operating room at the same time, their eyes full of expectation and worry.
"Give me the child first, I'll go get ready."
The nurse took the child and turned to the next door nursery. After a while, the door of the operating room opened again, and Yan Jin was pushed out by the nurse. She was still a little pale, but her mental state seemed good. Seeing the child in Xiang Yu's arms, she smiled weakly, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about?" Xiang Yu held her hand, his eyes moistened, "We have a daughter."
Yan Jin recovered well after giving birth, and she quickly adapted to the role of a mother. She would hold the baby gently, coax her to sleep with soft words, feed her patiently, and change her diapers. Every action was full of maternal radiance. The baby seemed to particularly like to stick to her, and often giggled in her arms. That crisp laughter was the most beautiful music in the world.
To celebrate the arrival of the baby, Xiang Yu held a grand full-moon banquet for her. On the day of the banquet, the Xiang family's villa was decorated magnificently, and the guests gathered and it was very lively. All the guests sent their most sincere blessings to this new life, and the whole banquet hall was filled with an atmosphere of joy and happiness.
Xiang Yu held his daughter in his arms, accepting the blessings from relatives and friends, with an expression of happiness and pride on his face. He looked down at the sleeping baby in his arms, his heart filled with tenderness. Once upon a time, he thought his life was perfect enough, with wealth, status, and everything he wanted. But until this moment, he realized that true happiness is to have a complete family and to watch his children grow up healthily and happily.
"Jin'er, thank you." Xiang Yu said softly as he looked at Yan Jin who was talking to Madam Xiang not far away.
Yan Jin seemed to have heard his words and turned to smile at him. That smile was like the warm sun in winter, instantly melting all the ice and snow in his heart.
The arrival of the baby brought unprecedented joy to the family. Every morning, Xiang Yu would be awakened by the baby's crisp laughter. He would gently walk to the crib, look at his daughter's sleeping face, and his heart would be filled with infinite love. He would bend down and kiss her pink face before starting a new day.
At night, he would accompany Yan Jin to coax the baby to sleep. Watching his wife gently holding their daughter and humming a lullaby, he felt as if he owned the whole world.
"What do you think our daughter will look like in the future?" Yan Jin asked softly, stroking the baby's soft hair.
"I hope she..." Xiang Yu paused, his eyes full of expectation and longing... "I just hope she is healthy and happy." Xiang Yu looked at his daughter gently, his eyes full of love, "As for the rest, she can decide for herself when she grows up."
Yan Jin chuckled and turned to look at the bright moonlight outside the window. "Yes, as long as she is happy, anything is fine."
As the days passed, the baby thrived in the love. She learned to roll over, crawl, and then took her first steps. Every progress made Xiang Yu and Yan Jin excited. They used cameras to record every moment of their daughter's growth, fearing that they would miss any wonderful moments.
In Xiang Yu's office, the place where various business documents and trophies were originally placed is now occupied by photos of his daughter. Every time an important client visits, he can't help but show off his baby daughter to them, his tone full of pride and pride.
After work, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin would spend all their time with their daughter. On weekends, they would take their baby on outings, to amusement parks, and to various places to experience different lives. They would play with her, read picture books, run on the grass, and feel the warmth and happiness of the family.
Xiang Yu is no longer as busy as before. He turned down many unnecessary social events and went home on time every day just to spend more time with his daughter. He enjoyed every moment of preparing milk powder and changing diapers for his daughter, even if he was occasionally confused by his daughter, he was happy with it.
Yan Jin also gradually put down the burden of work and devoted more time and energy to her family. She learned all kinds of parenting knowledge, carefully prepared every meal for her daughter, kept the house in order, and created a warm and comfortable harbor for her husband and daughter.
"Jin'er, thank you." That night, after coaxing his daughter to sleep, Xiang Yu hugged Yan Jin affectionately and said softly, "Thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for giving me such a perfect family."
Yan Jin snuggled in his arms, a happy smile on her face, "Me too, thank you for making me feel the warmth of home."
The moonlight poured into the room through the window, making the figures of the family of three look particularly slender. Everything was so beautiful, like the happy ending in a fairy tale.
"You say..." Yan Jin looked at her daughter's sleeping face and suddenly said, "Should we prepare a brother or sister for her?"
Xiang Yu was slightly stunned, then a doting smile appeared on his lips, "Okay, I'll listen to you."
However, just as they were looking forward to a better life in the future, Yan Jin accidentally discovered that her daughter seemed to have an unusual interest in certain things, which made her feel a little uneasy...
Chapter 156 The End of Happiness
Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, the baby is already three years old. After three years of companionship, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin have long been accustomed to each other's existence. Their life is like a soothing piano piece, peaceful and warm.
In order to provide the best education for her baby, Yan Jin went to almost all the early childhood education institutions in the city, and finally chose a kindergarten with advanced concepts and beautiful environment for her. Every morning, Xiang Yu would personally drive his daughter to school. When he saw her jumping into the kindergarten with her small schoolbag on her back, he would always unconsciously show a loving smile on his face.
On weekends, Xiang Yu and Yan Jin would take their baby to various parent-child activities. They would go to the amusement park to experience the thrill of roller coasters, go to the zoo to meet various novel animals, and go to the science and technology museum to explore the mysteries of science. The baby's laughter became the most beautiful melody in their lives.
"Our life is so perfect, I am really satisfied." At a family gathering, Yan Jin couldn't help but sigh as she looked at her lively and lovely daughter.
"This is just the beginning, our future will be even better." Xiang Yu held her hand tightly and said with a smile. His eyes were gentle and firm, as if he was making the most solemn promise.
However, behind the peaceful and happy life, there seems to be a subtle undercurrent.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin were invited to attend an industry summit as representatives of entrepreneurs. In the banquet hall, there were people drinking and chatting in elegant attire, and elites from all walks of life were chatting and laughing. Under the seemingly peaceful atmosphere, there was a turbulent business competition hidden.
Xiang Yu and Yan Jin stood side by side, dealing with guests from all sides elegantly. Suddenly, Yan Jin's eyes inadvertently swept through the crowd and fell on a group of people not far away. They were several major competitors of their company in the market. At this moment, they were gathered together, talking in low voices, with a meaningful smile on their faces.
Yan Jin suddenly felt uneasy, and she subconsciously grabbed Xiang Yu's arm. Feeling her strangeness, Xiang Yu asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Yan Jin shook his head and whispered, "Nothing, I just feel... a little weird."
Xiang Yu followed her gaze and frowned slightly. He knew that the business world was like a battlefield, there were no eternal friends, only eternal interests. Those competitors gathered together at this moment, obviously plotting something, and their goal was most likely...
Thinking of this, Xiang Yu's eyes flashed with a sharpness. He lowered his head and whispered in Yan Jin's ear: "Be careful, I feel something is wrong."
