Chapter 770 Shen He's Emotions Revealed
At this moment, Shen He who was standing nearby caught Ying's attention.
Shen He stood there quietly, admiring Ying's daughter calmly.
Her eyes were soft and warm, revealing her love for this little life.
Seeing this, Ying smiled and said to Shen He: "Shen He, do you want to hug her too?"
Shen He's body stiffened slightly and she was a little hesitant.
Although she longed to hug this cute baby in her heart, she knew very well that her fate of loneliness and disaster might have a bad influence on the child.
"I...I'd better forget it." Shen He finally shook his head and said softly, "My fate is loneliness and disaster. I'm worried that it will have a bad influence on the baby. I dare not..."
Although Shen He refused verbally, her eyes never left the baby in Ying's arms.
The little guy's pink face and cute appearance filled Shen He's heart with desire.
Ying seemed to see what Shen He was thinking. She smiled kindly and comforted him, "Don't worry, it's just a simple hug. There won't be any problem."
With Ying's repeated encouragement, Shen He finally plucked up the courage and nodded.
"Okay then." Shen He said softly, then she slowly stretched out her hands and carefully took her daughter from Ying's arms.
The baby was held gently in Shen He's arms.
The baby felt Shen He's warmth and uttered a soft baby murmur: "Hmm..."
The voice was like the sound of nature, melting Shen He's heart.
Shen He looked down at the baby in his arms, and an emotion he had never experienced before seemed to break through the shackles of the red rope and began to be expressed.
The corners of Shen He's eyes gradually became moist, and two lines of tears slid down her fair cheeks.
"This feeling, I'm so happy..."
Paimon, who was standing by, saw Shen He's tears and shouted in surprise: "Shen He, are you crying? Or are you laughing?"
Shen He did not answer Paimon's question. Her heart had already been overwhelmed by this strange and strong emotion.
She didn't know whether she was crying or laughing at the moment. She only knew that this feeling was so wonderful and so intoxicating.
Paimeng looked at Shen He, who was almost overwhelmed with excitement, and sighed inwardly.
She remembered what Master Liuyun once said, that Shen He's fate was locked up by the red rope, and her emotions were also locked up.
However, at this moment, Shen He broke through the shackles of the red rope in front of the baby and completely released the emotions that had been suppressed for many years.
"This is the first time I see her showing such excitement," Paimon muttered.
Perhaps Shen He was too emotional, so the baby in her arms felt the fluctuation and suddenly started crying.
"Ah!" The baby's cry was clear and loud, echoing in the room.
When Shen He heard the child crying, he did not immediately hand the child back to Ying to coax him, but hesitated for a moment.
Then, carefully, she adjusted her position so that the baby lay more comfortably in her arms.
Then, Shen He began to slowly rock the baby while humming a gentle lullaby.
"Don't cry, don't cry, la la la..."
With Shen He's gentle voice, the baby's crying gradually stopped.
Shen He continued to rock the baby gently, without stopping the lullaby in his mouth, until the baby was completely quiet and still again.
Looking at the baby sleeping peacefully in his arms, Shen He showed a gentle smile on his face.
She lowered her head and gazed at the child's adorable little face. At this moment, Shen He fully released her innermost emotions and expressed her love and care for this little life in the most sincere way.
Shao Yun, who was standing by, witnessed this scene. Seeing Shen He taking care of the child so carefully, he recalled Shen He's care and concern for Ying over the past few days.
He suddenly thought, should he let Shen He become the godmother of his child?
So, Shao Yun took the opportunity to say to Ying: "Why don't we let our child recognize Shen He as his godmother? It seems that our daughter likes Shen He very much."
After hearing what Shao Yun said, Ying nodded in agreement.
"I think it's good."
When Shen He heard Shao Yun and Ying's proposal, his face turned red instantly.
She lowered her head shyly and said softly, "Don't say that, I'll be embarrassed..."
Shen He still couldn't express his emotions with words, so he could only use the word shy.
Although Shen He politely declined to be the child's godmother, her heartfelt smile showed that deep down in her heart, she really wanted to be the godmother.
Shen He gently held the baby in his arms for a while, and then reluctantly returned the baby to Ying.
Shao Yun watched this scene quietly from the side, and when his eyes fell on Ying holding the child.
He couldn't help but turn his head to look at Paimeng who was standing beside him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a smile.
Shao Yun reached out his hand, gently stroked Paimeng's head, and said softly: "Paimeng, from now on, you are my sister."
When Paimon heard this, he lowered his head shyly and whispered, "I'm your sister? I thought you treated me as your daughter just to take advantage of me."
Seeing this, Shao Yun couldn't help but stretched out his hand and pinched Paimeng's chubby face again, then suddenly changed the subject and said with a smile: "Haha, when this child grows up a little bit, I can hand him over to you to take care of him."
"After all, I've raised you for so long and fed you so many delicious foods, you should probably do something about it!"
When Paimeng heard that Shao Yun wanted to use him as a "babysitter", he immediately puffed up his cheeks like an angry pufferfish and muttered:
"Hmm... I knew you were waiting for me here!"
However, her anger did not last long. Then, Paimon immediately changed his words and said:
"But I have to make it clear in advance! If I want to take care of your daughter, you must prepare the most delicious food for me every day!"
Shao Yun couldn't help but find it a little funny to see Paimeng being so serious. He smiled and replied, "Haha, I usually treat you badly, but do you really take this seriously?"
"Even if you want to take it by then, I'm afraid it won't be your turn."
What he said was indeed the truth. After all, Sora and Funagami were standing by and watching closely. With Paimon's strength, it would not be an easy task for him to snatch the opportunity to take care of the child before them.
……
Three days after Ying gave birth, the news was known to some of Fontaine's friends, and soon someone came to visit.
Early that morning, Shao Yun was in the room with Ying and the child when he suddenly heard a gentle knock on the door.
He quickly got up, walked to the door and opened it.
There were two people standing outside the house, they were Navia and Clorinde.
They both said in unison, "Good morning!"
Shao Yun looked at the two friends who came to visit him and quickly greeted them, "Navia, Clorinde, good morning!"
Navia held the carefully prepared gift in her hand and said to Shao Yun with a smile on her face: "Congratulations, Mr. Shao Yun, you are now a father!"
Clorinde on the side also quickly echoed: "Yes, Master, I am so happy for you, a daughter is born!"
Shao Yun felt particularly happy when he heard Navia and Clorinde's blessings, and all good things came one after another.
He invited warmly: "Welcome, welcome, please come in and sit down."
After the two girls entered the house and sat at the dining table, Yuanshang quickly brewed black tea and brought it to Navia and Clorinde.
Navia took a sip of tea, then put down the cup and said, "Originally, Uncle Miles and Silver also wanted to come and congratulate us."
"It's a pity that the Rose Thorn Society is so busy that the two of them can't spare the time, so I have to come here on their behalf."
Shao Yun felt complicated when he heard Navia mention Miles and Silver.
These two people who should have died are still alive and well... Although I was cursed by the devil for saving them, but... forget it, I'll talk about it later.
Shao Yun asked casually: "Oh, so, how are their physical conditions?"
Navia replied: "Uncle Myles is still in good health, and Silver has always been energetic, there is nothing wrong with him."
Just then, there was another knock on the door.
After the housekeeper Yuan stepped forward and opened the door, Shao Yun watched Leosley walk in carrying a large box of milk powder.
Leosley said in a loud voice: "Mr. Shao Yun, congratulations on becoming a father!"
Shao Yun showed a surprised expression on his face, and waved his hand quickly, saying, "Leosli? Long time no see!"
After Leosili handed the gift he brought to Yuan Shang, he bowed and congratulated him, "I heard from Xigwen that Ying gave birth to a girl. I came to give her some gifts. Congratulations on coming."
Shao Yun waved his hand, motioning him to come over and sit down.
"I never expected you to come. Come and sit down."
Leosley also sat down at the dining table, picked up the teacup, drank it in one gulp, then put the cup down and said:
"I will definitely come. A few days ago, when the head nurse Sigwen came back, she told me the first thing that you became a father."
"Sigwen likes you very much, but after all, she is the head nurse and can't always take leave, so I, the relatively free warden, am here."
When Clorinde heard Leosley say that he was the less busy person in the Mellow Petersburg Prison, she said, "Oh? Less busy?"
Leosley was not surprised by Clorinde's reaction. He just nodded slightly with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.
After all, as the warden of the Mellow Petersburg Prison, he had mostly left the management work to the prison guards, and he couldn't help much in Sigwen's infirmary. So, wasn't he the one with the least time?
Then, Leosli's eyes began to wander around, as if he was looking for someone.
Suddenly, he turned to look at Shao Yun and asked, "By the way, didn't Villette come?"
When Shao Yun heard Leosley mention Villette, he shook his head and replied, "He didn't come."
When Leosley heard this, the muscles on his face tensed slightly. He obviously didn't expect that Villette didn't come.
"He's not here? Before I came to your house, I went to Mo Mang Palace and found that he was not in his office. I thought he had already arrived."
Seeing this, Shao Yun became more curious, so he asked, "Did something happen?"
Clorinde briefly recalled what happened a few days ago, and then said, "I guess he's dealing with something."
"A few days ago, I heard from the staff of Mo Mang Palace that Miss Charlotte went to see him, and then he took a long vacation to deal with something."
When Shao Yun heard that Violet had asked for a long vacation, he joked, "To make Violet take such a long vacation... could it be that Funina is also going to give birth?"
As soon as the words fell, the atmosphere in the room suddenly became extremely awkward.
Leosley, Navia and Clorinde were almost choked to death by the tea.
"Cough cough..." The three of them started coughing at the same time, the sounds rising one after another.
After a long while, Navia was the first to stop coughing.
She looked at Shao Yun with a smile and said, "Mr. Shao Yun, you can't say such nonsense!"
"If Fernina knew you were spreading rumors about her behind her back, she would bite you to death!"
Clorinde also nodded repeatedly, indicating her agreement with Navia's statement, and reminded: "Yes, Mr. Shao Yun, strictly speaking, this is considered a rumor."
Leosli quickly covered his ears, pretending that he heard nothing, and muttered to himself.
"I didn't hear anything. Was there thunder just now?"
Shao Yun looked at the three people's intense reactions, laughed dryly and said, "Haha, I was just joking to liven up the atmosphere."
In order to ease the awkward situation, Shao Yun quickly changed the subject. He pointed to Ying's bedroom and said with a smile, "How about we go see my daughter?"
When Navia heard that Shao Yun wanted to invite her to see his daughter, she nodded and agreed. After all, the purpose of her visit was to see his daughter!
"Yeah!"
Clorinde also nodded calmly, her purpose of coming was the same.
Leosley drank his tea slowly, then stood up and said goodbye to Shao Yun: "I won't go, I just came to give you a gift."
Then, Leosli pointed to the abyss not far away.
"Here, milk powder and clothes prepared by Sigwen. Although I am relatively free, I still need to take care of Melo Petersburg, so I can't leave for too long."
Shao Yun understood Leosili's situation and knew that he had his own things to do, so he did not try to persuade him to stay. He just said, "Okay, then you can convey my gratitude to Sigwen."
Leosley waved his hand coolly and responded: "Don't worry, I will convey it."
Then, Leosli turned and left, leaving Shao Yun, Navia and Clorinde to continue their plan.
