The dark, oppressive sky made Little Carp and Gugu cling to Liu Nanfeng's legs, their faces filled with terror.
Liu Zonghe also looked at Liu Nanfeng with a worried expression.
Liu Nanfeng calmly said, "It's alright, the baby is just not in a good mood because it's just been born."
As he spoke, he waved his hand gently. The thunder in the sky ceased, the dark clouds dispersed, and brilliant sunshine returned to the earth.
Several people gaped in astonishment. They knew Liu Nanfeng was powerful, but they had never imagined he was this powerful.
However, before they could marvel further, Yu Huilan walked out, carrying an infant.
"You were right after all, it's a little chubby girl," Yu Huilan said with a smile.
Just as Liu Nanfeng was about to reach out to take the baby, a pair of hands moved faster. Liu Zonghe looked incredibly excited.
But Yu Huilan did not grant his wish. She moved his hand away with a look of disdain, "What are you so eager about? The first embrace should naturally go to her father."
With that, she handed the infant to Liu Nanfeng, whose face was flushed with excitement.
Liu Zonghe was speechless. What did she mean by "first embrace"? You've already held her, and yet you say such things.
"Let me see, let me see."
"Gugu... Gugu..."
Little Carp and Gugu were impatient to see the baby, but they were too short and could only stretch their necks and keep bouncing.
Liu Nanfeng crouched down to let them get a clear look.
Perhaps because her parents were not ordinary people, the infant's complexion was exceptionally healthy and rosy, and her hair was thick, unlike other newborns who were wrinkled.
However, her eyes were still closed, and her small hands were clenched into fists on either side of her face.
Her thin nostrils rose and fell with each breath, exuding an indescribable cuteness.
Liu Nanfeng felt an ineffable emotion, his heart filled with warmth and softness.
With this thought, he turned his gaze to Little Carp beside him.
Little Carp looked incredibly careful, as if afraid of disturbing the baby.
"You're a big sister now," Liu Nanfeng said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, Little Carp grinned, but quickly covered her mouth, worried that her laughter might wake the baby.
"Do you want to hold her?" Liu Nanfeng asked again.
Little Carp nodded vigorously.
"Gugu..."
Gugu blinked her big eyes, also looking expectant.
Liu Zonghe and his wife stood by, wanting to say something but hesitating. They were filled with worry but ultimately remained silent, their nerves taut. If the baby were to fall, they would catch her immediately.
But it was clear they were overthinking. For both Little Carp and Gugu, the infant's weight was not an issue at all.
Liu Nanfeng handed the baby to Liu Zonghe and his wife to look after and, without delay, went straight into the house.
Su Jinxiu was lying weakly on the bed. Hearing the movement, she immediately turned her head to look.
Liu Nanfeng hurried over. Su Huamei, being perceptive, made space for him.
"How are you, are you okay?" Liu Nanfeng asked with concern.
Su Jinxiu did not answer but directly asked, "Where's the baby?"
"Outside, don't worry about her. How are you now? Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?" Liu Nanfeng said, feeling helpless.
He knew how much pain Su Jinxiu had endured to give birth to this child.
He remembered the first time he learned about the Fetal Nourishing Grass, it was from Zhu Yuchan. Zhu Yuchan had told him that the pain was like being sliced by a thousand knives, and ordinary people could not endure such agony.
However, judging by her attitude, it seemed her love would henceforth be poured entirely into the child.
"I'm fine, I'm very good."
Su Jinxiu was not just saying words to comfort Liu Nanfeng; she genuinely felt good.
This was because she had not passed on her own power to the baby. On one hand, she feared it might endanger the child's life. On the other hand, the great era was about to arrive, and she needed means for self-preservation. If she couldn't protect herself, how could she protect her child?
This was also something they had discussed with Liu Nanfeng beforehand, otherwise, Liu Nanfeng would not have agreed to her taking the Fetal Nourishing Grass.
"Is the baby alright?" Su Jinxiu asked again, her gaze constantly drawn towards the door.
"She's fine, she's very well, rest assured," Liu Nanfeng reassured her again.
Then he sensed Su Jinxiu's vital energy recovering throughout her body. This was a normal phenomenon, as the effects of the Fetal Nourishing Grass had completely worn off.
At this moment, Yu Huilan finally entered with the baby, followed by the others.
"Mom, let me see the baby," Su Jinxiu struggled to sit up, and Liu Nanfeng quickly supported her.
"Slowly, there's no need to rush, she's doing very well."
Yu Huilan quickly stepped forward and handed the infant to her.
Su Jinxiu gently took the baby, afraid of hurting the little one.
Looking at the tiny being in her arms, Su Jinxiu felt an outpouring of love from her chest, a feeling she had never experienced before.
That sense of blood connection, a warmth spreading through her limbs, made her feel lightheaded.
However, she suppressed it. Looking at the person in front of her, she found everything about her beautiful. A smile involuntarily curved her lips, radiating happiness.
Gugu watched her without blinking. She felt that Aunt Su was so beautiful, so lovely at this moment, just like her own mother.
She missed her mother, and Gugu's expression turned somber as she lowered her head.
At this moment, she felt a large hand gently placed on her head, very lightly, very warmly.
Gugu curiously lifted her neck and saw Liu Nanfeng looking down at her with a warm smile.
"My dear baby, from now on your name will be Jin Hua, Liu Jin Hua."
"It's Sister Jin Hua," Little Carp immediately said from the side upon hearing this.
She hadn't been careful, and her voice was a bit loud, which startled Liu Jinhua.
She opened her dark, lustrous eyes, like ink drops, clear and bright, incredibly beautiful.
Her tightly clenched little fists relaxed slightly, and she stretched out her tiny fingers.
She yawned, as if she had just had a good dream, and then her small lips moved a couple of times.
Su Jinxiu looked nervous and quickly asked Yu Huilan, "Is she hungry?"
"Don't be nervous, she just moved her mouth. If she were really hungry, she would have started crying by now," Yu Huilan explained with a smile.
"I'm a first-time mother and inexperienced, you need to teach me," Su Jinxiu said, feeling a little embarrassed.
"She must be craving something. I have lollipops, I can give her one," Little Carp said from the side, thinking she was being clever.
"Haha, she can't eat lollipops yet," Su Jinxiu said with a smile.
"Then can she play with us? Swing on the swings, play hide-and-seek?"
"Of course not, she's still so small, she'll have to wait until she's a bit older."
"Alas~, she can't do this, she can't do that either. It seems being a baby isn't that fun either."
Little Carp's small face was full of contemplation, amusing everyone.
Perhaps it was because everyone's laughter infected her, Liu Jinhua actually smiled, a faint smile gracing her lips.
"She looks so much like you when she smiles," Liu Nanfeng remarked with emotion.
The little one resembled Su Jinxiu greatly, but there was also a hint of Liu Nanfeng in her brows. In short, she was a combination of the two.
When the little one's gaze fell upon Liu Nanfeng, she seemed very excited and moved her limbs, as if recognizing him.
"Hello, Liu Jin Hua, welcome to this world. I am your father, Liu Nanfeng. We will get along well from now on. Little Jin Hua, you must grow up quickly."
Looking at the little one before him, Liu Nanfeng's heart was filled with tenderness. He extended his finger and gently touched her pink cheek.
"Yes, grow up quickly and play with your sister," Little Carp said from the side.
It seemed she had embraced her role as a big sister.
He hoped they would get along well in the future.
