Chapter 468 – The finale of the spring boudoir dream (1)

It was a wrinkled face, and he couldn't see any hint of whom his daughter resembled. Ning Yuxuan blankly looked at her. After using all of her strength, she finally lifted up those thin eyelids. Her black, limpid eyes seemed to glow when she looked at him.

His face was reflected in her eyes.

The surrounding people had thought the marquis's reaction was because he was unhappy that the baby was a girl.

When Zhu Yurun came out, she looked at Ning Yuxuan's eyes and asked in surprise, “Marquis, why are you crying?”

It wasn't that bad to have a daughter. It wasn't worth crying over. Besides, there was already a son in this household.

Hearing Zhu Yurun's question, Ning Yuxuan returned to his senses and wiped his face. There really were tears. Why had he cried?

Holding his daughter, Ning Yuxuan didn't think dwell on those thoughts any further. He wanted to go into the birthing room. “Midwife, you can withdraw to collect your reward. I'm going inside to check on Man-er.”

Dengxin hastily stopped him. “My lord! The room hasn't been cleaned up yet. It reeks of blood. You can't go inside.”

Ning Yuxuan raised his eyebrows. “Why did you leave Madam there if the room is reeking of blood? If she's not afraid of it, then why would I be afraid?”

While everyone was speechless, Ning Yuxuan went around Dengxin and entered the room.

—

The doctor hadn't lied to her. The birthing process really had gone smoothly this time. And so, Ji Man's energy level was in an okay state. She was still awake.

However, as she looked around, she felt a bit dazed. It felt as if she was in a dream. If she struggled a little bit more, she would wake up in modern-day. It felt as if the cracks in her surrounding were continuing to expand.

As soon as Ji Man thought that everything in front of her was only a blissful dream, her eyes reddened.

The room was filled with the raw scent of blood. The servant girls were currently busily tidying up the room. Holding the baby, Ning Yuxuan sat down on the bed and reached out to wipe the tears at the corners of her eyes. Somewhat anxious, he asked, “Does it hurt?”

Ji Man returned to her senses and looked at him. She mustered up a smile. “No.”

“Why are you crying then? Look, she's so cute.” Placing their daughter down on the side of the pillow, Ning Yuxuan said, “Let's give her a nickname for now. I'll give her a formal name when she turns one.”

As soon as the baby girl left her father's arms, she resumed wailing. Ji Man was a bit taken aback. Hearing the baby's heartbreaking cries, she couldn't help thinking of Nie Sangyu.

In the past, she would hear Nie Sangyu heartbreaking cries. Her crying really didn't sound any different from a baby's unbridled crying. Just like a newborn, she was uncaring about anything else except her own unhappiness.

“Can we call her… Sangyu?” Ji Man quietly asked.

She had once read in an eccentric book that daughters were their fathers' lovers from a past life. Ji Man didn't think there was anything bad if Nie Sangyu had had entered the cycle of reincarnation and was reborn as her daughter. If that silly girl became her daughter, she would teach her from childhood how to properly love someone.
