Chapter 233: Chapter 80: Finishing the Postpartum Period_2
Ke Lian reached out to help Du Xixi tie her hair up, while saying, "Doctor Mo said you need to stay at least a month, but your self-healing ability is strong. If you don’t want to stay long in the military hospital, I can ask Doctor Mo if we can shorten the time."
Du Xixi’s physical constitution was not weak to begin with, and after giving birth, her spiritual talent nourished her body continuously, naturally she couldn’t be treated like an ordinary postpartum woman.
"Hmm." Du Xixi hesitated a bit, then asked, "Was I cleaned? I heard after giving birth you can’t wash your hair for a long time, afraid of catching cold."
Du Xixi’s hair quality is good, neither oily. She usually washes it every two days and it looks very fresh. But she vaguely remembers she was sweating all over from pain before entering the delivery room, and sticky before fainting. She couldn’t have become clean after three days, right?
Upon hearing Du Xixi’s question, Ke Lian coughed awkwardly but stole a glance at Chen Yin and Ke Xing across, then feigned calmness and said gently to Du Xixi, "I washed you, afraid others might be too rough and hurt you."
Ke Lian’s words felt awkward, so did Du Xixi listening. Her slightly lowered face instantly turned scarlet; she dared not imagine Ke Lian cleaning her.
Though Du Xixi and Ke Lian are deeply in love now, initially they were distant post marriage, and later Ke Lian went to the battlefield multiple times, so while their emotional warmth increased, other aspects didn’t develop much.
Even after Du Xixi got pregnant, bathing was inconvenient, but the Ke Family had robots for bathing assistance, so Ke Lian wasn’t needed.
"The military hospital doesn’t have bathing robots, but you can wash your hair and dry it quickly..." Ke Lian blinked to disguise, seeing Du Xixi holding the baby for half an hour already, found a good reason to change the subject, leaned over, and gently said, "Xixi, let Dad and His Majesty take the baby back, and bring them over in the evening."
Du Xixi found her arm sore, so she swiftly used this excuse to cover her embarrassment, nodded, and watched Ke Xing and Chen Yin each carrying her son away.
Only after they were far did Du Xixi withdraw her gaze, feeling somewhat lost. However, she felt her mental endurance was good, not fearing anything happening with the children just a wall away.
With Ke Xing and Chen Yin protecting them, nothing would happen.
Ke Lian patted Du Xixi’s head, trying to comfort her. She looked up at him, her slightly moist amber eyes reflecting affection, making Ke Lian’s heart flutter.
Ke Lian simply sat by her bedside, pulling the despondent Du Xixi into his embrace, gently patting her back to reassure, "Xixi, once you fully recover, we’ll bring the children’s cribs back. Then you’ll watch them day and night, and won’t miss them, maybe even find them annoying."
Du Xixi initially felt warm from Ke Lian’s gentle comfort, but soon his last words made her chuckle in anger, lightly tapping his back, "Is this how you talk about your children! Aren’t you afraid others will say you’re heartless?"
"I’ve never cared about others’ opinions." Ke Lian indifferently raised a brow, caught Du Xixi’s hand that patted him, kissed it by his lips, then continued, "As long as everyone knows I care about you."
Ke Lian naturally loves the children, but comparatively, he loves Du Xixi more. He doesn’t mind if others misunderstand his affection for the children but minds misunderstanding his love for Du Xixi.
Since the day he truly fell for Du Xixi, Ke Lian decided to let All-Star know his love for her, to let everyone know Du Xixi is his wife!
Du Xixi felt deep affection from Ke Lian’s words; her face, which wasn’t thick-skinned, felt burning hot, knowing without a mirror that she’d likely turned beet red.
"You’re never serious..."
"With you, who needs to be serious or not."
