Chapter 106 Extra: After Marriage 02

Money can indeed solve many problems.

For example, issues like having to sleep in the hallway of a public hospital due to a lack of beds or being unable to undergo painless delivery because of a shortage of anesthetists—all these problems can be solved with money.

In preparation for the birth of their grandchild, Wen Guoan purchased a private hospital ten months ago.

Ji Anning didn’t suffer much in the process of giving birth. However, she was still exhausted. When she was wheeled out, Wen Yu, seeing her pale face with a sweat-drenched forehead, tenderly held her hand and said, “Thank you for your hard work..”

As a father-in-law, Wen Guoan hesitated to approach too closely, so he spoke a few steps away, “Ningning, rest well. You don’t need to worry about anything.”

Ji Anning responded with an “Hmm” and knew that with them around, she didn’t have to worry. She closed her eyes and fell asleep in an instant.

When she woke up, she saw Wen Yu sitting on the sofa beside the bed, holding a small matchbox-sized bundle and grinning foolishly.

Watching him for a while and noticing he was still grinning without realizing she was awake, Ji Anning called out to him. He became nervous only then, “You’re awake?”

Ji Anning uncovered her shirt to breastfeed her daughter. With good prenatal care, the baby quickly latched on, and soon there was colostrum. The baby sucked in large gulps, even making gurgling sounds.

It was the powerful sound of a new life.

This breastfeeding scene made Wen Yu feel somewhat surreal. It had felt like a dream until now, and suddenly the reality of “I’m a dad” hit him.

Ji Anning asked, “Where’s Dad?”

“He’s ecstatic,” Wen Yu said. “Handing out red envelopes to everyone. He tells everyone, ‘I’m a grandpa now.'”

Ji Anning chuckled, “Go check on him,” fearing that Wen Guoan might be too emotional.

Wen Yu went out, and indeed, Wen Guoan was still expressing his joy of becoming a grandfather to the hospital director. The director’s face had a forced smile, nodding continuously.

In order not to disturb Ji Anning in the bedroom, they didn’t even stay in the living room of the suite but went outside to the corridor to talk. The hospital director wasn’t sure how long he had been standing there, but his expression was already quite stiff.

When Wen Yu went out, he relieved the hospital director, who had legs that had gone numb from standing.

Wen Guoan said, “Why did you come out? Hurry, go keep Ji Anning company.”

Wen Yu replied, “She woke up and is breastfeeding.”

Wen Guoan was overjoyed. Since he couldn’t go in himself, he directed the housekeeper and maternity matron to take care of Ji Anning. He also asked his assistant, “Have all the red envelopes been distributed?”

The assistant, feeling helpless, repeatedly confirmed with him, “It’s been distributed, everyone has received it.”

This old man was practically going crazy online.

Wen Yu asserted, “Stop lingering here. You should quickly go home and rest!”

Wen Guoan was dissatisfied, “I want to spend a little more time with my granddaughter!”

“See her again tomorrow!” Wen Yu said, “You better rest well. If you don’t rest properly, I won’t let you see her! Don’t think I won’t dare!”

Wen Guoan, somewhat threatened, went home reluctantly.

The next day, he brought a lawyer to see Ji Anning. With a grand gesture, he handed another pile of assets to Ji Anning.

Ji Anning held her forehead, saying, “Dad, please don’t do this.”

“It’s yours, take it.” Wen Guoan, holding his granddaughter, smiled and said, “Giving birth is a woman’s ordeal; you’ve worked hard.”

After saying this, he signaled to his assistant.

The assistant tactfully handed Ji Anning a paper, saying, “These are the names compiled by Director Wen. Take a look.”

Wen Yu and Ji Anning were left speechless.

The child belongs to the parents, and the parents should be the ones to choose the name. Wen Guoan seemed to be subtly trying to exchange the naming rights.

Ji Anning held her forehead again, saying, “Dad, you can decide on the name.”

“Oh well, since you put it that way…” Wen Guoan feigned politeness, blushing.

In the end, Wen Guoan chose the name Shujun for the child.

Shu, meaning beautiful, and Jun, meaning beautiful jade.

Wen Shujun.

From the moment of her birth, this child was destined to be cherished and protected by her family.

Ji Anning spent the month in her own hospital before returning home. Her young body recovered so well that you couldn’t tell she had just given birth; she looked like a girl who had never left the campus.

When Meng Xinyu came to visit, she remarked, “Looking at you, who would believe you’ve already given birth?”

She also inquired about Ji Anning’s future plans.

Ji Anning said, “I plan to breastfeed for about eight to ten months, and then I’ll find something to do. I’ve already talked to Wen Yu; I won’t stay at home as a full-time mom.”

Meng Xinyu agreed with her idea. She was a bit concerned and asked, “Did your father-in-law agree?”

In those wealthy family novels and TV dramas, aren’t the wealthy in-laws usually arrogantly telling their daughters-in-law, “You’re not short of money; why go out and work? Just stay at home and take care of the child,” right?

Ji Anning sighed, “My family isn’t like that.”

In reality, when Ji Anning mentioned her desire to work after weaning the child in October, Wen Guoan readily agreed, saying, “Go ahead, don’t worry. I’ll take care of things at home.”

Wen Guoan was now in a semi-retired state. Most of the business matters were handed over to Wen Yu, and he only needed to provide guidance behind the scenes, sitting comfortably in a stable position.

There was nothing significant that required his personal involvement; he was content with having a granddaughter.

Wen Yu pleaded with him, “Could you please not go crazy posting baby pictures on social media? I might get beaten up because of it.”

Wen Yu was the youngest but the first to get married in his circle, making him irritating enough. Now, Wen Guoan had turned into a crazy baby picture poster, flooding everyone’s timeline with the child. This led to the parents of Wen Yu’s friends admiring and envying them, all wanting grandchildren, and immediately starting to pressure them for marriage.

Yesterday, a group of friends, led by Qian Haoran, got so annoyed that they collectively pressed Wen Yu down on the sofa during a gathering, intending to “teach him a lesson.”

Wen Yu, despite having formidable martial arts skills, found himself at a disadvantage and had no choice but to let them “educate” him.

Blame it on Wen Guoan.

Wen Guoan sneered, “I’m showing off my granddaughter. What’s the problem? If anyone has an issue, tell them to come to me.”

He stomped his foot, claiming that the business world would shake. Whoever dared to confront him face-to-face would not only be unable to do so but would also have to give a thumbs up to his social media posts.

Their little Junjun was so cute—how could anyone dare not to like her? Wen Guoan even took note of those who didn’t give his granddaughter’s pictures a thumbs up.

Ever since Wen Shujun’s birth, this old man awakened to the qualities of being a grandfather and was beyond redemption.

“Why bother with them? If you have the time, take a look at this.” While coaxing Wen Shujun, Wen Guoan tossed a document to Wen Yu and Ji Anning.

Ji Anning leaned over to take a look. It was related to real estate.

Wen Yu glanced at it and said, “Did you acquire this piece of land? That’s great. How do you plan to develop it?”

Wen Guoan joyfully replied, “As a dowry for Junjun.”

Last week, he bought an antique at an exorbitant price and was equally delighted, saying, “For Junjun’s dowry.”

Even earlier, one day Wen Guoan disappeared from home out of thin air. The whole family searched the mansion from top to bottom, only to find him in the underground storage room, bent over counting the family heirloom jewels, saying, “I need to see which ones are suitable for Junjun’s dowry.”

Wen Yu/Ji Anning: “…”

This old man had gone mad!

In November, the marketing department of a company under the Wen family’s conglomerate hired a new employee.

The young girl had shoulder-length hair, eyes like limpid water, delicate skin, and was a recent graduate. Upon joining, she immediately caught the attention of many unmarried male colleagues in the company.

The middle-aged female colleagues were also quite interested in her, and for a while, matchmaking was about to explode.

“Hey, Xiaoji, you’re not a local, are you?” asked a senior colleague in the office.

“No,” Ji Anning replied. “I’m from Yucheng.”

“Yucheng, huh? It can’t be compared to the provincial capital. Staying here for development is a wise choice,” the senior colleague chattered away about the development prospects of the provincial capital. In the end, she advised Ji Anning, “Let me tell you, if you stay here, when you look for a boyfriend in the future, make sure he has a house. A man without a house won’t do; don’t bother getting married to someone without a house.”

Some male colleagues couldn’t tolerate it and retorted, “Sister Liu, you’re not leaving us guys any room to live. Given the current housing prices in the provincial capital, without parents’ support, young people can’t afford to buy a house. Even if we take out a loan, we can’t come up with a down payment.”

Liu Ji said, “What else can be done? Can you blame me? You can only blame your own birth techniques. Look at those with good birth techniques; their parents can provide a down payment, and they already have a house. How nice is that?”

Turning around, she privately spoke to Ji Anning again, “My husband’s cousin is like this. His parents provided the down payment, and he just took out a loan. He’s only twenty-eight this year, just a few years older than you, and he already has a house. Should I introduce you to him?”

Ji Anning had just graduated and was only twenty-two, not understanding why this senior colleague was trying to introduce her to a nearly thirty-year-old man.

She could only tell her, “Sister Liu, I’m already married.”

Liu Ji patted her and said, “Nonsense, you just graduated.

“Really,” Ji Anning said, “I’ve already had a child.”

Her skin was as smooth as a freshly peeled boiled egg, her waist slender as a willow. Uttering “I’ve already had a child” seemed utterly unconvincing.

Liu Ji, feeling displeased, said, “If you’re not willing, then so be it. Why make up such nonsense? I was just trying to help by introducing someone. You, being an outsider, it’s hard to find a partner in the provincial capital, you know? Look at our department’s Sun Mengru, she also has high standards, no one catches her eye. Dragging it out, how old is she now, twenty-seven or twenty-eight, still without a partner. Let me tell you, don’t follow her example, find someone similar, don’t set your standards too high, don’t be too picky.”

After saying that, she twisted her body, stepping away in high heels.
