Yu Zhi's back visibly stiffened, and he slowly turned his head.
At that moment, Jiang Huai saw a little shock and disbelief in his obscure eyes. "What did you say?"
"Miss, she was sent back. Master, the child was born, it's a girl..."
Jiang Huai was a little incoherent. He didn't know how to hold a child. Fortunately, the little one was sleeping soundly in his arms and didn't move around.
He quickly came to Yu Zhi's side, carefully bent down, and sent the child in his arms over.
"Look."
Lying in the quilt was a baby girl with thick hair and a little white face, like a ball of white marshmallow.
Yuzhi's hands did not move, as if they were tied up.
He stared at her, "Is it just her?"
Jiang Huai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't know what to say to Yu Zhi.
"I just received a call. The servant at Lanshan Garden said that a child was left at the door."
He wasn't sure whether Yu Zhi heard this, because the man didn't give him any response. His face was like a stone dug out of an iceberg, so cold that it was scary.
"Master..."
Yu Zhi stared at the baby girl and moved his lips with difficulty, "Why did you just say that she sent the baby back?"
Jiang Huai first put the baby girl on the hospital bed, and then took out a piece of paper from his pocket.
"Being sent back with the lady, there was also a letter written by Miss Xu."
Jiang Huai took it with both hands and handed it over. He looked at the man's expression. Yu Zhi's stunning face was covered with a layer of despair, and he even flinched.
"What did she say?"
Jiang Huai couldn't bear to see him anymore, "She said, please take good care of the lady and don't look for her."
The last bit of persistence at the bottom of the pond collapsed in an instant.
He finally raised his hand and took the letter.
The word "Yu Zhi" is written on the header, and the signature is written "Xu Yanqing".
Start with his name and end with hers.
The handwriting is beautiful and this font is not unfamiliar to Yu Zhi.
The content of the letter is very simple: "Yu Zhi, I never thought about being with you. I had to give birth to the child as a last resort. I think about how to get rid of you every day."
"I directed, acted and arranged everything this time. I feel relieved knowing that you are fine."
"I want to start a new life and be with the person I like. Carrying her with me is always a burden."
"Yu Zhi, stop looking for me. Just let me live. If the child is left to you, just treat it as if I don't have a mother."
After Yu Zhi read it, he didn't let go.
He looked at it over and over again, as if stunned, he picked up the paper again.
"Jiang Huai, take a closer look. Is there any other information in this? Maybe she is asking for help..."
Jiang Huailai had already studied it on his way here.
This was just an ordinary letter, but it abruptly broke all of Yu Zhi's hopes.
"Master..."
Yu Zhi folded the letter. He would not believe it. Based on these words alone, he would not doubt Xu Yanqing.
"Either someone pretended to be her and wrote it, or someone forced her to write it. The child is hers too, so she won't be so cruel."
Yuzhi seemed to be talking to himself. He knew that he was funny like this.
He waved his hand and said, "Get out."
"Master, I have arranged for the confinement sister-in-law to come over. She will be at the hospital in a moment." After Jiang Huai said this, he left quickly.
The hands and feet of the little person on the bed were wrapped in a thin quilt. She couldn't move even if she wanted to. Her little face was wrinkled and she wanted to cry.
Hearing the sobs, Yu Zhi was a little helpless. He had never coaxed such a small baby. He hesitantly reached out his hand, and as soon as his fingers touched her face, she burst into tears.
"Don't cry..."
"Daddy hugs."
Yu Zhi lowered his body and felt the wound on his leg tearing. He held the delicate body in his hands, but he did not dare to pick it up.
He was afraid of hurting her, and even more afraid of throwing her.
Yuzhi could only coax in a low voice, "Don't cry, daddy will give you whatever you want."
But the baby girl couldn't understand it at all. She was uncomfortable, very hungry, and her crying became louder and louder.
Yu Zhi looked a little panicked and anxious. He pressed his face against the baby girl's face. Her hair was wet and she felt uncomfortable all over.
Yu Zhi hurriedly untied the blanket, kicked her legs, raised her hands, and immediately performed a face change in front of him.
He touched her little hand. It was really small. The whole palm combined was no bigger than an egg.
This was his daughter, the baby he had waited for nine months to finally meet.
Yu Zhi felt so weak that he wanted to hug her and kiss her, but he couldn't do it.
"Wow--"
She broke out in her voice and cried again.
Jiang Huai finally waited for his confinement sister-in-law. When he quickly walked in with her, he saw Yu Zhi standing beside the bed with a lonely look.
On his face, there was loss and confusion of not knowing what to do.
The confinement sister-in-law approached and picked up the child, and another aunt who followed behind skillfully began to brew milk powder.
Yuzhi limped to the window. The child had been crying for a long time, and his voice was a little hoarse.
He was suffering in his heart and felt very distressed. He glanced at Jiang Huai next to him.
"She... doesn't seem to be close to me."
"Master, she is your biological daughter. Who else can she be close to besides you?"
The confinement nurse put the pacifier into the baby's mouth, and the crying stopped, which was amazing.
She didn't cry, fuss, or say anything, but she could still hear her squeaking as she drank milk vigorously, and Yu Zhi couldn't help but walk over a few steps.
"Drink slowly."
But the child didn't listen to him at all, as if he hadn't eaten enough.
There was a smile in Yu Zhi's eyes, but it was quickly covered by darkness, and the bright light in his eyes sank to the bottom of the pool little by little.
"Should a child of this age drink breast milk?"
The confinement sister-in-law didn't know what happened to Xu Yanqing, so she just said matter-of-factly: "Many mothers don't have enough milk, so they will give their children milk powder."
Yu Zhi watched her wrap the pacifier, suck vigorously, and soon drained the milk from the bottle.
"Master, this is a hospital after all. Do you think you should send the young lady home first?"
Yuzhi was reluctant to give up, "I want her to stay with me here."
He should be lucky that he still has his daughter by his side at this time, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would get through it.
After Mrs. Yu got the news, she rushed over as soon as possible.
The granddaughter had already fallen asleep on the bed. She couldn't hide her joy and walked forward to see her little face, which was white and tender. It was really beautiful.
"Looks like you, really."
Yu Zhi leaned to the side and did not answer.
But Mrs. Yu has not forgotten the purpose of her trip. "To be on the safe side, I still want to do a paternity test."
"Don't you think she looks like me?"
"That has to be done too."
Yu Zhi glanced at the baby girl on the bed, and he knew in his heart that this was his daughter.
