Chapter 605 We Can't Have A Baby
************
CHAPTER 605
With no males in the room, Lisa was free to breast feed little Yuanjun. The little guy clutched unto her boob like his life depended on it.
"He must be hungry. Look at him go," Yi Changying said.
"Hahaha," they laughed.
"I finally get to have my own baby. I'm so excited," Lisa exclaimed.
"You sure are," said Ning Xiaozhi.
"I want a baby too," Ye Yumi dramatically cried and pouted.
"Well, you are much of Brother Kai's baby now. Be sure he wants another," Bai Renxiang smiled.
"That's true. I want him all to myself. Maybe when I am well satisfied we can talk about having a baby," Ye Yumi clapped at her brilliant plan.
"Or marriage first and then babies," Ning Xiaozhi reminded her of a skipped step.
"Oh yes. That too," Ye Yumi's eye glimmered.
The girls shook their heads with smiles on their faces. Ye Yumi looks so in love and excited for her future with Yang Wenkai.
It's a good thing though.
~A few minutes later, outside Lisa's ward~
"How long is the little guy going to feed?" Wang Tingxiao asked as he lifted his wrist to his eyes.
He was checking the time on his wristwatch. It has already been more than five minutes since they were outside. But it felt like eternity.
"Bro is missing his son already," Yang Chen teased and they laughed.
"You can't blame me. I barely spent time with him. I don't even know what's wrong with me," Wang Tingxiao smacked his forehead.
"Take it easy. You will have them all to yourself soon," Li Fengjin patted his shoulder.
"Yeah. So in the mean time, why don't we grabbed some coffee and something for Lisa to eat?" Ye Chaoxiang suggested.
"Yeah. Let's go."
Later on by the time they came back for from geting coffee and something for Lisa to eat they met with more people in the ward.
It was themeir parents.
Old man Jiang was now holding Wang Yuanjun in his arms with a smile. One could easily see the wrinkles that formed beside each of his eyes as he did so.
"Ah! The newest father in town has arrived. Congratulations, son," Mrs Yang announced.
"Thank you, ma'am," Wang Tingxiao smiled and bowed a little.
"You have given me another great-grandchild. And that too on my birthday. I'll be sending congratulatory gifts your way later," Old man Jiang said.
"Thank you, grandpa Jiang," Lisa and Wang Tingxiao thanked him.
Ye Lee Ai and Li Xiaojin were excited to have another kid with them. They kept rambling about how they will visit Lisa everyday on their way to the hospital.
It was so adorable.
They stayed for a while before they left the couple and their child. Wang Tingxiao checked on little Yuanjun who was now sleeping in a crib provided by the hospital.
Then he went to get a bowl of water and a small towel. Luckily, the oldies brought things for both him, Lisa and the baby.
He sat on the chair near the bed and helped Lisa out of her clothes. Then he carefully and gently cleaned wiped her body with the towel and water.
Lisa smiled watching him care for her. He looked so serious.
"Thank you," she whispered to him.
"For what?" Wang Tingxiao asked.
"Hehehe. You know why I'm thanking you," Lisa laughed.
"Maybe I will love to hear you say why," Wang Tingxiao smiled.
"I see. Okay. Thank you for everything. For marrying me and for getting me pregnant. Thank you for staying with me at the delivery room," Lisa spelt them out.
"I should thank you too. For making another of my dreams come true. Thanks for giving me a family of my own, Lisa. And you did excellently well in there," he praised her.
"We are now parents."
"Indeed we are. We'll be good at it too."
Lisa smiled in satisfaction before she yawned. She was exhausted. Pushing out little Yuanjun took a huge toll on her.
"Sleep now. You have worked so hard today," he said as soon as he was done wearing her clothes.
He then stood up from the chair. Bedore he could take a step away Lisa held his hand.
"Where are you going?" She asked with sleepy eyes. "You should get some sleep too."
"I will. But at least I need to have a bath first."
"Hmm."
"I might take a while in there. So sleep before me. I will come back and sleep too," he assured her.
"Okay. Good night, honey."
"Good night, darling," he pecked her forehead.
Wang Tingxiao covered her properly eith the blanket. He then went ahead to lower the temperature of the air conditioner in the room before entering the bathroom.
After washing up, Wang Tingxiao stood motionless under the shower head. The water wash away the lather of soap on his tuned body and eased his nerves.
But they were not enough to ease his worries and soothe his aching heart. All that happened today came playing out in his head like a movie.
All the words the doctor told him and what that bastard Dong Yang has caused his wife. His palm resting in he bath wall balled into a tight fist.
Dong Yang had better count himself lucky frim the hell he is. If not, Wang Tingxiao would have searched him out and make sure the man wishes he was ever born.
"Death saved you, you bastard," Wang Tingxiao gritted his teeth.
His anger soon turned to hurt and worry as an image of Lisa's crestfallen face when he tells her those words, flashed through his mind.
The way she looked so happy today, the way she cuddled little Yuanjun in her arms made his heart clench so tight.
How the hell is he going to break the bad news to her? How in heaven's sake will he be able to see her look so devastated and pained?
Those thoughts made it hard for him to breathe. Lisa did not deserve all this. She is a good person.
If only sheet him first... If only she never met that Dong Yang before him, then they will definitely have another baby. But it did not turn out that way.
"This sucks," he quietly sobbed.
He had held in till now. Just thinking broke down his resolve. This was nothing but a weak, vulnerable version of Wang Tingxiao.
After dwelling in thise thoughts and confusing when and how he would break the news to his wife, Wang Tingxiao stepped out of the shower.
He stopped when he gazed at his reflection of the bathroom mirror.
"You have to be a strong support to Lisa as you have always been. You have to be strong for both of them, Wang Tingxiao," he said to himself.

The next morning, Dr Zihao came to check up on Lisa and the baby as promised. He monitored her vitals for a few minutes and he was satisfied.
Her bleeding has reduced and now normal thanks to the suturing. In a few days, she can be discharged.
The others never failed to drop by everday if her say in the hospital. They brought fruits and food each time and also stayed quite a number of hours before leaving.
There was never a dull moment for Lisa and the baby. They always have fun company and tasty foods to go. So, it was great.
So great until the evening came.
Lisa was very much awake after putting little Yuanjun to sleep. She tucked him into his crib this time as she had started moving about- gradually.
Sadly, she noticed how quiet her husband has been since they were alone. She thought it must be related to work.
But then again, Li Fengjin gave him a paternity leave. So he had no work in the past few days. Wanting to know what was wrong she called out to him.
"Tingxiao, come and sit with me," she patted an empty spot beside her in the bed.
Wang Tingxiao walked away from the window he was staring out of to the bed. Then he sat down. Lisa interlocked her right hand fingers to his left.
"What is it that is bothering you?" Lisa inquired as she placed her head on his shoulder.
Wang Tingxiao gulped. Could he tell her? Should he tell her now?
Just then he remembered when Li Fengjin told him not to stretch out the time he is supposed to discuss with Lisa. So he made up his mind.
"There is something I have to tell you. I don't want to but... it will be unfair to you if I don't because I don't want to hurt you," Wang Tingxiao breathed out.
"What is it? Do you want us to start trying for another baby? I don't mind. But we will have to wait for me to heal down there. So..." She said nothing after as she was sure he got her words.
Wang Tingxiao's heart ached yet again. He closed his eyes and let out a shaky breath.
"We can't have another baby."
