But only his family could know what he was truly like.

No... it can’t be.

Maybe she was the only one who knew what he was really like.

Shen Luo’an appeared fairly gentle and kind when he held the baby in his arms.

He wasn’t like that at all with her.

He teased the child, but the child didn’t respond.

Shen Luo’an, however, didn’t at all feel bored. He was still extremely happy.

“Let’s change the baby’s name,” he suddenly blurted out.

Shen Manting was stunned, and she looked at him in surprise. “...What?”

“Shen Yuexiao. ‘Xiao’ means courageous and bold.” Shen Luo’an held the baby, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared. He glanced at Shen Manting. “The ‘Xiao’ in ‘Xiongxiao’ sounds a bit too fierce.”

His tone made it seem like he was asking for her opinion, but at the same time, he didn’t really seem to be asking for her input on the matter at all.

Shen Manting was taken aback by his attitude and was speechless for a moment.

Looking into his eyes, she felt something she couldn’t explain.

She averted her gaze before answering him. “All right.”

Shen Luo’an’s expression softened, and he said, “Go to bed. It’s late.”

He carefully laid the baby in the middle of the bed.

The bed was very big. It was two meters across and was big enough for two people to lie down on it.

Shen Luo’an lay down, and he shrunk over to one side of the bed. There was no telling whether this was intentional or not.

He not only kept some distance between himself and Shen Manting, but he even kept some distance between himself and the baby too.

Shen Manting’s heart, which had felt dead for a long time, suddenly jumped in her chest.

She stared at Shen Luo’an, but he had already closed his eyes.

Was he... was he afraid of scaring her?

It took a long time for her to get up and turn off the light.

She pulled the blanket back, then lay on the bed and closed her eyes.

However, her drowsiness must’ve been an illusion, because she couldn’t sleep at all.

All she could think about was Shen Luo’an.

He was clearly asleep beside her, but his previous behavior kept her awake.

She didn’t know how long it took, but she soon felt sleepy again.

But the baby lying next to her suddenly moved, and then began to whimper.

Shen Manting automatically reached out her hand and gently patted the baby to comfort him. “Hush, Little Moon. It’s okay. Don’t cry.”

And the baby actually quieted down after she said this. Shen Manting yawned and closed her eyes.

She had only slept for a few minutes before the baby woke up again.

He opened his mouth and began to wail, and his small hands and feet restlessly swung about.

Shen Manting turned him over and touched his diaper, and when she felt that it was dry, she lifted up her clothes to breastfeed him.

Shen Manting kept her eyes closed throughout the entire process.

She was on autopilot mode, numb and tired, but she wasn’t impatient, and didn’t rush.

Shen Luo’an saw everything in the dark and glared at her.

Shen Manting felt nothing.

After feeding the baby, she soon fell asleep.

Shen Luo’an also closed his eyes again, but he didn’t sleep for long, because the baby woke up again.

It was definitely difficult to raise a baby.

Shen Luo’an finally realized this.

The baby woke up five or six more times that night.

Shen Manting woke up with him each time, and either fed him or changed his diaper.

Each time she flicked the lights on, Shen Luo’an felt his eyes burn.

Shen Manting was secretly delighted each time she saw him squint his eyes at the light, and she unconsciously changed the baby’s diaper more slowly, even though she was usually quick at it.

By dawn, Shen Luo’an discovered that he hadn’t gotten much sleep.
