Su Yiran was stunned for a moment by Ting-ge’s sudden, aggressive kiss. Soon, he was breathless from the kiss. He anxiously pushed Ting-ge’s shoulders, but could only protest with “mmph” sounds. The baby was right there!

Gu Yuanting only loosened his embrace of the constantly protesting Ranran when he had kissed him enough, then, still unsatisfied, he licked Ranran’s lips again, which were red from his kisses.

Su Yiran’s lips were numb from the kissing. He hurriedly pushed Ting-ge away and turned to look at the baby in the bassinet. Fortunately, the baby was still sleeping soundly, innocently unaware of everything.

Su Yiran still blushed a little. He glared at Ting-ge reproachfully: “What are you doing in front of the child?”

Gu Yuanting looked at the soundly sleeping baby in the bassinet, reached out and touched the baby’s face, and said to Ranran, “The baby’s asleep.”

Su Yiran, seeing Ting-ge’s righteous expression, also found himself without much to say. Forget it…

Just then, Aunt Qian came upstairs from downstairs: “Mr. Gu, Mr. Su, should you two go have dinner? I’ll watch him here.”

Su Yiran nodded, looking at Ting-ge: “Let’s go.”

Gu Yuanting held Ranran’s hand, and they walked out of the nursery together. Before leaving, Gu Yuanting looked back at the baby in the bassinet again, then retracted his gaze and went downstairs with Ranran.

He must have been overthinking things. How could there be so many supernatural phenomena? Besides, what could a baby possibly understand?

The two went downstairs, finished dinner, and chatted with Father Su and Mother Su. In the evening, the family happily played with the baby in the nursery.

With two postpartum nannies, Father Su and Mother Su had a lot more free time. There was basically nothing they needed to do. Every day, they were delightedly doting on their grandchild.

Before going to bed, Su Yiran lay on the bed, feeling an itch near his wound. He couldn’t help but lift his pajama top and look down, strongly wanting to scratch it.

Gu Yuanting emerged from the shower to see Ranran looking down at his wound, his hand hovering hesitantly over it, looking as if he really wanted to scratch it.

His heart tightened, and he quickly strode over, took Ranran’s hand away, and seriously told him, “You can’t touch it, Ranran.”

Su Yiran looked up at Ting-ge: “It’s really too itchy.” He really wanted to scratch it… And it wasn’t just a normal itch; it was a prickly kind of itch, too unbearable.

Gu Yuanting lovingly kissed Ranran’s hand: “I’ll go find more ointment. Be good, just bear with it a little longer.”

He quickly retrieved the ointment, looking at Ranran’s wound with a pained heart. It was the proliferative phase of the scar, which would make Ranran feel a prickly itch. This proliferative phase would last for some time.

Actually, he had already applied ointment once, which provided some relief, but Su Yiran still felt itchy.

Gu Yuanting gently applied another layer of ointment to Ranran, asking him, “How does it feel? Better?”

Su Yiran felt some relief again. He nodded: “It’s better.”

Once the ointment dried, Gu Yuanting helped Ranran pull down his raised clothes and carefully held him as he lay down in bed. To prevent Ranran from unconsciously scratching the wound in the middle of the night, he held Ranran’s hand while sleeping, keeping it controlled, so that if Ranran’s hand moved, he would wake up.

A month quickly passed. That day, Gu Yuanting took Su Yiran to the hospital for a follow-up examination. The results were all normal, and Su Yiran had recovered so well that Dr. Chen couldn’t help but exclaim that he rarely saw such excellent recovery.

Gu Yuanting finally relaxed.

After Su Yiran’s own follow-up, he took Gu Yuanting to see Dr. Sun, the psychiatrist, for a follow-up on Ting-ge’s postpartum depression. Fortunately, the results were also excellent; Gu Yuanting’s mild depression had also resolved.

Father Su and Mother Su, seeing Su Yiran recover so well, also felt relieved. They had been in A City for almost two months. Their farm back home had been entrusted to others during this time, but entrusting it to others permanently was not a feasible solution.

Everything was going well with Su Yiran and Gu Yuanting, and the baby was also very well cared for by the postpartum nannies. There wasn’t much more they could help with here. After discussing it, Father Su and Mother Su decided that Father Su would return to their hometown first to manage the farm.

The baby was still too young, and Mother Su was uneasy, feeling she could still be of much help, so she stayed. She would return to their hometown with Su Yiran and the others for Chinese New Year at the end of the year.

Unknowingly, another two months passed, reaching mid-to-late November.

After the last follow-up, Su Yiran gradually resumed his work. Originally, because his body had not fully recovered, Gu Yuanting wouldn’t allow him to overwork, wanting him to wait another two or three months until his body was completely well before starting work.

However, Su Yiran felt his spirit and body were both very good. The baby’s trivial matters were handled by the postpartum nanny, and Mother Su was also helping. Even though he also participated in caring for the baby and spending parent-child time with him every day, he still had a lot of free time left. He felt bored just being idle, so he refused Ting-ge’s request. Finally, at Ting-ge’s insistence, he didn’t make himself too busy, maintaining a low frequency of going to the store twice a week and livestreaming three times.

After resuming live streaming, his fans were very enthusiastic—cough, to be precise, extremely enthusiastic. The bullet comments during each livestream flashed by like crazy, and many fans strongly requested to see his and Ting-ge’s little baby, even just a tiny hand would do.

Su Yiran was very doting on his fans. Seeing how many fans were especially eager, he took a photo of his and Ting-ge’s hands clasped together, with the baby’s tiny hand nestled in the middle. He discreetly uploaded it to Weibo with the caption: [Our family of three [pink bunny smile]].

Gu Yuanting’s Weibo account followed his lead, posting the same picture with the same caption: [Our family of three.]

Fans went wild in the comments, roaring with excitement and melting from the cuteness, especially the CP fans, who were excitedly cheering, practically celebrating a major victory.

Su Yiran saw the various excitements of the fans in the comments, smiled, and then ignored them. However, he couldn’t help but recall his previous life. Fortunately, in this world, male pregnancy, though rare, was no longer unheard of. If this incredible event had happened in his previous life, it would probably have made the front page of social news…

“What are you thinking about?” Gu Yuanting had just returned from outside. Hearing Mother Su say Ranran was in the nursery, he quickly went to find Ranran and happened to see Ranran staring blankly at the baby in the bassinet, looking completely lost in thought.

Su Yiran snapped back to reality, shook his head, and smiled: “Nothing.” There was no need to tell Ting-ge about these wild thoughts. He couldn’t even explain to Ting-ge that he had transmigrated from another world…

Gu Yuanting paused slightly. Ranran was clearly thinking about something; why was he lying to him?

Su Yiran saw that he had returned later today and couldn’t help but ask, “Are you busy with work today?”

Gu Yuanting didn’t dwell too much on the previous question. Perhaps Ranran was just daydreaming. He stepped forward and hugged Ranran, leaning down to kiss him: “It’s alright, not too busy.”

Previously, worried about Ranran’s health, he had to constantly be by Ranran’s side, delegating general work to his subordinates. More important tasks accumulated, waiting for his attention. Only truly urgent and critical work would he handle in his spare time or after Ranran had fallen asleep.

These past two months, Gu Yuanting had gradually resumed his previous work frequency, handling many accumulated tasks.

But today, he wasn’t busy with work matters outside…

Gu Yuanting took Ranran’s hand and looked at the baby in the bassinet with him: “Sleeping again.”

Su Yiran nodded, unable to help but smile and touch the baby’s face: “He sleeps like a little pig every day.” Babies at this stage always sleep for long periods but wake up frequently.

Gu Yuanting recalled what he had been busy with today. He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Ranran’s hand, then intertwined their fingers. He turned to Ranran and nervously opened his mouth: “Ranran, in a couple of days, shall we go out and play for a few days?”

“Play for a few days?” Su Yiran looked at him, puzzled, “Where to?”

Gu Yuanting said, “An island near Country Y. It’s very beautiful, very lovely, and has lots of fun things to do.” He was afraid Ranran wouldn’t agree, so he took out his phone and showed him the carefully prepared photos in advance, showing him how beautiful and fun the island was.

Su Yiran flipped through the photos. The island was indeed beautiful; even looking at the pictures made him feel refreshed, and he was very tempted. However…

He returned the phone to Gu Yuanting and shook his head: “Let’s forget it for now. We can go when the baby is older. The baby is too young now and can’t be left alone.”

Gu Yuanting quickly said, “Don’t worry about the baby. We have postpartum nannies and aunties at home who will take good care of him. Besides, Mom is also home, so don’t worry.” He added, “We’re just going out for a few days; we’ll be back soon.”

Su Yiran hesitated a little. In the past, he and Ting-ge used to travel two to three times a year. Calculating the time, it had indeed been a long time since they last went out together, from last year until now.

Gu Yuanting saw Ranran’s expression soften and immediately pressed on, continuing to persuade: “Ranran, you’ve worked hard for so long. Let’s go out and relax, okay?”

Su Yiran thought about it, then looked at the baby, but finally shook his head: “Forget it. It’s quite relaxing at home; there’s no need to go out and play.” He looked at Ting-ge, “Let’s go another time.”

Gu Yuanting was silent for a while, feeling very disappointed about his plan.

Su Yiran, seeing Ting-ge’s disappointed and forlorn expression, couldn’t bear it. He looked at the baby again, and for a moment, he hesitated once more.

Gu Yuanting refused to give up. Suddenly, something came to mind, a flash of inspiration. His voice became low: “In a few days… it’s my birthday,” he looked expectantly at Ranran, “I want to celebrate my birthday properly with you, just the two of us, okay?”

Su Yiran’s heart completely softened at Ting-ge’s words, making it impossible to refuse him. He thought about last year, when Ting-ge was busy with the Gu family affairs, far away in Country D, and couldn’t even have a proper birthday celebration.

Going out for a few days was no big deal. The baby was home, with Mom watching him and the nannies taking care of him, so there was no need to worry.

Ting-ge had also worked hard this year and had even suffered from depression before. He would accompany Ting-ge to go out and relax, and they could have some time alone together to unwind.

Su Yiran nodded in agreement: “Okay, when are we going?”

Gu Yuanting’s eyes lit up as Ranran agreed. For a moment, he was at a loss, feeling both excited and joyful. His throat was dry, and his breathing quickened, as if Ranran had just accepted his marriage proposal.

He was going to marry Ranran on the island, and with Ranran… complete their perfect first night.
