Chapter 1962: The Heartfelt Joy Over Experiencing Fatherhood for the First Time

“Snake… meat?”

Shen Manting felt her insides churn, and a wave of nausea rolled over her. She stood up, her hand cupped over her mouth, and made to leave.

But Madam Lin immediately held her back. “Don’t throw up. Snake meat is extremely nutritious. Here, have some water.”

But Shen Manting couldn’t hold it down anymore. Madam Lin directly pressed her down and said, “You thought it was delicious. It’s good for your body, and it’ll help you make milk for the baby. No matter what, you have to swallow it down.”

Shen Manting glanced at Madam Lin, a sick expression on her face, but when she heard what she said, she forced herself to swallow.

She took a sip of water from the glass Madam Lin handed her, and after she rested for a while, she felt much better.

But when she saw the pot of porridge in front of her, she felt nauseous again.

The baby began to cry from inside the room, and Shen Manting immediately got up to walk over to him.

When she was breastfeeding the baby, she didn’t know if it was just her imagination, but it seemed as if the baby was having an easier time sucking milk.

“Could it be that the snake meat really works?”

Shen Manting secretly wondered about this, but she still felt nauseous.

“I definitely won’t be able to eat the snake meat again, no matter what.”

After she finished breastfeeding the baby, she changed his wet diaper, and he fell asleep again.

Shen Manting felt a little helpless, but she also found it rather amusing, and she whispered softly, “You’re just like a little piglet.”

Suddenly, she heard the sound of footsteps followed by a knock on the door.

Without a doubt, it was Shen Luo’an.

“Can I come in?”

“No way!” was what Shen Manting thought in her head.

“I want to see the baby.”

When Shen Manting heard this, she subconsciously glanced at the baby in her arms.

“The baby’s face really looks like his,” she thought. “If he saw that, would he become more determined to keep him?”

Just as Shen Manting was hesitating over what to do, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open.

Shen Luo’an was dressed in casual home clothes, and his entire aura had softened quite a bit.

He looked down and glanced at Shen Manting before saying, “He’s asleep again?”

Shen Manting couldn’t tell if she was mistaken or not. She knew he was asking about the baby, but he was looking at her.

Inexplicably, Shen Manting’s heart started to race.

The overwhelming feeling came over her all of a sudden, and she immediately lowered her head to hide her emotions.

She looked at the baby, who was sound asleep, and responded calmly, “He’s asleep.”

Shen Luo’an came forward and looked at the swaddled baby. “Can I carry him?” he asked.

Shen Manting looked up and saw the desire and questioning look in his eyes with one glance.

Her heart fluttered, and she actually found it hard to turn him down.

Shen Luo’an…

Shen Luo’an?

He seemed to have changed.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Manting handed the child to him and said, “Be careful. Don’t hurt the baby.”

When she agreed to hand him the baby, he felt an overwhelming sense of joy inside, and it appeared on his face in the form of a genuine smile.

He reached out his hands and gently took the baby from her.

The baby smelled like the sweet fragrance of milk, and he was soft and warm in his swaddling blanket in Shen Luo’an’s arms.

Shen Luo’an felt his heart race.

He could feel each thump in his chest.

His eyes swept across the child in his arms. Its brows and eyes all bore an uncanny resemblance to his own.

Shen Luo’an felt a sense of satisfaction that he hadn’t felt in a long time and asked, “Have you thought of what to name the baby?”

Shen Manting wasn’t in the mood to name the child, but since Shen Luo’an had raised the issue, she was abruptly reminded that the baby needed a name.

Looking at the baby’s soft, pink cheeks, she shook her head gently.

“All right. Let me think about one,” he said. There was a gentle glow in Shen Luo’an’s eyes. His heartfelt joy over experiencing fatherhood for the first time was obvious.
