Chapter 644: Work Or Get Out
"Why are you asking me to take a look at him?" Bai Meiyue was speechless. Just because she was going to become a mother, was she supposed to know what was wrong with Fu Wan’s child as well? Was this man really alright? Or had he lost his mind after taking care of the child for a few hours?
It hadn’t been long since the child was born, but how had this man already lost his head?
Xiao Chenye also knew that he was in the wrong. He lowered his head, feeling a bit embarrassed. But he was a man, and he had never raised children before. How was he supposed to know what was wrong with this baby? He could only cajole him for a while, but the baby kept crying. Seeing that the baby’s eyes were turning redder by the minute, he was worried that something might happen to the baby. So what else could he do other than ask Bai Meiyue for help?
"Miss Bai, please take a look. I really cannot understand what our young master needs."
"What about his mother?" Bai Meiyue asked with a raise of her brow as she looked at the thin and wrinkly baby boy. Tsk, tsk, this Fu Wan was really good. She had so many resources, and she didn’t use them on her baby; instead, she went around and wasted them all. Look at the size of the child. He was really pitiful to have Fu Wan as his mother.
"Our eldest lady says that she is not going to take care of the baby — she is not a nanny who should be taking care of babies. She asked us to take care of the baby."
When Bai Meiyue heard Xiao Chenye’s response, she curled her lips in a sneer. She took a look at the child and then turned to look at Xiao Chenye, "Go and call the woman who takes care of him. He is neither hungry nor has he dirtied his diaper... he is just seeking comfort. Usually, it should have been his mother who should have taken care of him, but since she is not the one taking care of him, the child has grown attached to his caretaker."
"I don’t know who takes care of him." Xiao Chenye spoke honestly, making Bai Meiyue roll her eyes. She turned around on her feet and called for Nurse Lin. When she asked Nurse Lin to bring in the caretaker, the old woman was so angry that she actually cursed out loud. She pointed her finger at Xiao Chenye and scolded him fiercely, "Your young lady is really something. Really, even a tiger will not eat its cubs. Why is it that every other woman can take care of their children, but your young lady cannot feed the child? Forget about feeding the child; the least she can do is take care of her own son!"
"I am not saying that she should be taking care of her son all the time, but she can at least give him a few hours to comfort him, right?" Nurse Lin said to him. She was not really angry at him, but she still couldn’t withstand the attitude of this young lady who was doing her own thing without listening to a thing that they were telling her to do. "Did you arrange what I asked you to do? Where are the baby bottles? And what about the nappies? I told you that these pregnant women can feed your young master for a few days, but they also have their own babies to take care of. They cannot feed him all the time!"
"We need baby bottles to feed him milk formula. Did you bring them?" Nurse Lin asked with a hint of annoyance on her face; she had been asking Xiao Chenye to bring a baby bottle since the baby was born, but the man had been making excuses, saying that he would bring it, but he hadn’t brought it yet.
"That..." Xiao Chenye looked embarrassed. He lowered his head and rubbed the back of his nape uneasily. He said to Nurse Lin, "Are there no other alternatives to feed the young master? Do I really need to grab a baby bottle?"
"What nonsense are you saying!?" Nurse Lin exploded at once. "How else will you feed the baby if not for a baby bottle? Your young lady was pregnant before the world came to an end, right? Surely you would have prepared baby bottles and nappies, right? Where are those things?" Nurse Lin had never seen a woman as absurd as Fu Wan. Don’t tell her that the woman didn’t even prepare a single baby bottle for her son? No matter how careless she was, Fu Wan was bound to buy some clothes or baby bottles for her son.
Unfortunately, she expected way too much from Fu Wan!
The expression on Xiao Chenye’s face turned even more embarrassed. His head also lowered to the point where he couldn’t even raise his head any further. Fu Wan was too busy partying, going to the parlour and getting her nails done and perming her hair that she didn’t even have time to go and get a pregnancy test done. She just did what she wanted to do with Bai Wenxuan’s essence and then went on her own merry way.
When the report of her pregnancy came out, Fu Wan was busy partying in her penthouse. That too in high heels and alcohol. It was a miracle that the child survived.
Later on, Bai Wenxuan arranged for a nanny and midwives, along with a wet nurse for Fu Wan. But those women ended up turning into zombies because Fu Wan didn’t understand the severity of the situation. Thanks to the sacrifices of those ten women, Fu Wan and the child survived. But after their deaths, the responsibility of taking care of Fu Wan fell on the shoulders of Xiao Chenye and the others; however, they were rough men who had no idea what a pregnant woman or a child would need. So how could they prepare baby bottles?!
