Chapter 1273: My Daughter Has Grown Up
Song Ru held her flat little niece, feeling a bit complicated.
Although all newborns are more or less ugly, a head shaped like this is truly unique.
As if guessing her daughter’s thoughts, Xiao Minglan explained, "In the morning, Doctor Fang examined the baby and said there’s no major issue. As for the head... it’s because Ah Li’s birth canal was small, and the child’s bones are naturally soft. They got compressed during delivery. Using a shaping pillow, it should return to normal in two or three months."
Xiao Minglan wasn’t sure whether she was comforting her daughter or herself.
Since the doctor said so, let’s just believe it for now!
If nothing works, we’ll find a good hairstylist in the future to cover it up.
As the head of state, having a child during the tenure requires publicly announcing the happy news.
That afternoon, the Tan Palace Press Office posted a photo on social media.
The photo showed a big hand holding a little hand.
The newborn’s tiny fist was evident.
And the big hand, naturally, belonged to the couple.
The man’s hand was wide and strong, covering the girl’s delicate, pale fingers, gently holding the little fist together.
The caption for the photo was—
[It’s-a-new-life-coming-into-the-world]
(A new life has arrived.)
Five minutes later, on Tang Li’s personal topic page.
[I’m a Lonely Crocodile: ???]
[Go Little Fatty Ning: ???]
[Ningyi Vanguard Team: ???]
...
[Entertainment Industry Janitor V: Wow! In mid-January, Tang Li attended the "Phoenix Concubine" press conference with a flat belly, and now she’s given birth?]
[I’m a Little Spicy Chicken: So Tang Li took a temporary leave from the showbiz to have a baby?]
Though surprised, in hindsight, it was traceable.
Not to mention the "Mihesha River Action" dominating the Spring Festival box office, exceeding 6 billion in total, and Tang Li not attending the celebratory banquet; even after the airing of "Phoenix Concubine," with soaring ratings, Tang Li didn’t capitalize on the ’Mrs. Bao’ buzz, nor did she interact with the cast and crew on social platforms.
Previously, everyone thought Tang Li was maintaining the First Lady’s positive image and had to cut ties with past work. Now they realized it was because a pregnant woman wasn’t online-friendly!
When Tan Palace Press Office shared the happy news, Tang Li also made a post in her friend circle.
[Gave birth to a daughter last night, thanks for everyone’s concern.]
In ten minutes, likes surpassed a hundred.
Gao Wenlan commented below, "Wanna compare babies?"
Just as Tang Li was about to refuse, Gao Wenlan privately sent a series of photos.
They were pictures of Wong Doubao from birth to five months old.
Gao Wenlan had a caesarean delivery.
So, her son Wong Doubao’s head was round.
Currently, Wong Doubao was, without a doubt, a little dumpling, with fair skin, a delicate nose, a small mouth, and double eyelids. His little hands were playing with a Rubik’s cube, looking as cute as could be.
Looking back at Song Xiaohua lying beside her, it was like the dumpling had been stepped on.
Gao Wenlan started urging, "Hurry, post a photo!"
Tang Li: "..."
Finally, using ’the child is not by my side, was taken by dad’ as an excuse, Tang Li managed to brush off Gao Wenlan, only to receive an international call from Li Ruan.
—It was previously agreed that when Tang Li gave birth, the Li Family would send someone to the S country.
Now that the child came early, it disrupted the plan.
Li Ruan said on the other end, "The old man saw the Tan Palace’s online post and asked me to inquire about how the child is doing now."
Since Isa got arrested by the Siamese, perhaps due to a change in mindset, Li Hao’s health had significantly improved.
"The child is doing well," Tang Li replied.
Although Song Xiaohua was somewhat ugly, she was an endearing child.
Well-fed and happy, she could lull herself to sleep.
When she needed to pee or poo, she’d let out a couple of warning cries in advance.
Because Tang Li had insufficient breast milk in the first few days, the child had to be fed with formula.
When the child woke up hungry at night, Tang Li, drowsy from sleep, habitually lay in bed until she opened her eyes to see Song Baiyan holding the baby and pacing in front of the bed, with freshly prepared formula on the bedside table.
Thus, Mr. Baiyan doesn’t mind this daughter of his at all.
Watching Song Baiyan soothing the baby, Tang Li realized she didn’t feel any jealousy.
Come to think of it.
With Song Xiaohua looking like this, if her father didn’t love her a bit more, what would happen in the future?
At night, it was also Song Baiyan changing the baby’s diapers.
Someone outstanding in governance also excels at other tasks.
Li Ruan waited for a while but didn’t hear any further comment from Tang Li, so he straightforwardly said, "The old man is old now and can’t withstand long journeys, so we’re hoping you could send a photo of the child."
Tang Li guessed that the old man was possibly right beside Li Ruan.
Li Ruan’s low-key request without any objection from Li Hao indicated his strong desire to see Song Xiaohua.
After all, she’s the only close relative on her maternal side.
Tang Li couldn’t refuse.
Ending the call, she took a couple of photos of her daughter and sent them over.
Within two minutes, Li Ruan called again.
Tang Li asked, "What’s wrong?"
With a tone full of helplessness, Li Ruan said, "The old man says if you don’t want to show him the child’s photos, you can tell him directly. There’s no need to send over two expression pack photos from your S country, sarcastically implying he has a big face."
Tang Li: "......"
Tang Li didn’t intend to make up a kind lie, she said directly, "Tell him to stop deluding himself. His great-granddaughter looks like this, take it or leave it."
Li Ruan: "???"
Li Ruan had the speakerphone on.
As soon as Tang Li hung up, he glanced at the old man.
Li Hao sat on the sofa, resting his hands on his cane, took a long time to speak, "Tell me the truth, in previous investigations, did Tang Li undergo any plastic surgery?"
Li Ruan: "........."
"Otherwise, how did the child’s head—" Li Hao found it hard to accept this fact. He wasn’t despising the child but was concerned that, looking like a grindstone, how would she find a partner in the future?
Tang Li was infuriated by Li Hao.
Although she knew well that her daughter wasn’t good-looking, Li Hao’s remark about her daughter looking like an expression meme was overly hurtful!
Tang Li picked up her daughter and examined her carefully.
...She did resemble that certain Yue-someone meme.
So, what Li Hao said was indeed true.
Realizing this nearly gave Tang Li a heart attack.
But soon, she pinpointed the issue.
—It was the pumpkin hat Song Ru dressed her daughter in that was problematic.
Once the hat was removed, the child’s looks improved by more than a notch.
Tang Li took off the pink floral onesie from her daughter, dressed her in a light blue outfit, then placed her back on the big bed, and found the right angle to take another photo.
After taking the photo, Tang Li didn’t forget to add a filter using a beauty app.
She sent the photo to Li Ruan with an explanation: "The earlier photos weren’t flattering due to the clothes and hat."
Li Hao, after viewing the photo and returning the cellphone to Li Ruan, agreed with Tang Li’s explanation, "Indeed, this child suits light colors, looks at least ten years younger."
Li Ruan: "........."
