After being attacked by the rich young ladies with hatchets, I chose to enter "sage mode".

"Don't try to comfort me, you can't possibly comfort me. We're just friends. I know you like me a lot, but I really only see you as a friend. It's okay if you don't want that, I'll feel uneasy."

This was the first and last time Ju Qing would so bluntly express her dislike to a boy she was having an ambiguous relationship with.

She used to enjoy being pursued, cared for, and looked after, believing it to be a sign of her charm.

But now, seeing Bai Yu grow up, seeing the person she truly loved leave, seeing him so calm and collected when they met, she finally understands that liking someone is not something that can be trampled on so easily, and love is even less so.

Humans are creatures that are difficult to awaken, but once awakened, they will not repeat the same mistakes.

"Ju Qing, I...I didn't say I liked you. Are you just joking with me?"

The young man did not lose his temper because of Ju Qing's bluntness; instead, he found a way to save face for himself.

But Ju Qing ignored her and turned to look at Bai Yu, who was carrying Bai Luo away with her back to him, silently shedding tears.

Perhaps life is just this imperfect, always full of irreparable flaws. But perhaps this is the retribution for toying with other people's feelings. Only when you truly fall in love with someone and want to spend your life with them can you understand that no matter how much you love someone, if you can't be together in the end, it's all a regretful exit.

"I wish you happiness, I like you."

Extra - Murong Liyue takes care of the baby

“Madam Murong, the young master needs to be fed. The young lady is asleep and doesn’t need to be fed for now.”

"Hey, madam, you should hold a baby by the bottom, not horizontally, or the milk will choke."

Sitting on the edge of the bed, Murong Liyue held her son Bai Murongyue in her arms very carefully. The once aloof and arrogant ice queen has now become a wife and a mother of two. No matter how aloof she is, she also has a tender and gentle side.

"Is this how you breastfeed? Are you holding the baby correctly?"

Looking up at the postpartum nanny beside him, Murong Liyue was holding Bai Murong Yue and feeding him. Her milk supply, which used to be only a B cup, had increased to a C cup after giving birth, making her much larger.

Feeling her son's greedy suckling on her chest, Murong Liyue did not feel the comfort that Bai Yu did, but rather excruciating pain.

Because children don't care if you're in pain; if they can't drink, they'll bite hard.

Being a mother is far more difficult than Murong Liyue imagined.

But no matter how difficult things are for her, she's only a mother of two, unlike Bai Yu, who's a father of six.

In the future, when taking them to school, traveling, playing, and eating, I must treat them all equally. Otherwise, if I don't treat the children equally, their mother will feel that she has not been treated fairly.

"Now that I can get out of bed and do yoga, it's okay to take the kids out for a walk, right?"

Nodding, the nanny smiled and said respectfully.

"Yes, we have a gym, yoga room, and back garden, etc. As a VIP customer, you can enjoy these facilities for free for life."

After standing up, Murong Liyue carried Bai Murongyue out of the room after she had finished drinking her milk.

Soon she and the postpartum nanny went for a walk in the back garden of the postpartum care center.

Murong Liyue wasn't the only woman here who came to relax after giving birth.

Moreover, women who can afford to stay in postpartum care centers costing hundreds of thousands of yuan a month must come from families with considerable means.

However, many of these young women knew Murong Liyue, because with their status, who wouldn't know the eldest daughter of the Murong family, the richest family in Beicheng?

Moreover, Murong Liyue has already begun to slowly inherit the Murong family business.

These people don't know when they got married or when they had children.

Many people have speculated behind her back that Murong Liyue's failure to hold a wedding was likely due to an unplanned pregnancy, and that the child's father might not even be known.

Humans are a selfish species that hopes others are poor but not rich. Murong Liyue is already perfect enough, so for them, it would be great if she were tainted.

Murong Liyue showed no intention of clearing up the misunderstanding regarding these people's attitudes.

There are plenty of people in this world who can misunderstand you, but very few who need to be explained away.

Not to mention, for Murong Liyue, the only person she could ask to explain the misunderstanding was Bai Yu.

"Madam Murong, many ladies here enjoy sunbathing and having afternoon tea. Would you like something to drink? I'll pour it for you."

"Need not."

After giving a cold reply, Murong Liyue turned to look at Bai Murongyue, who was looking around in her arms.

"Bai Yue, are you happier when you're with Daddy or Mommy?"

Bai Murong Yue is just a baby right now. Let alone understanding what Murong Li Yue is saying, it would be good enough if she could even understand what her parents mean.

Murong Liyue is the kind of person who dislikes children, but she is particularly fond of her and Bai Yu's child.

Many women from the postpartum care center were seen taking their babies for a walk. They would smile at each other's babies and share their joy of becoming mothers.

But Murong Liyue was the only one who wouldn't do that. Even if Bai Murongyue really wanted to play with those children, she wouldn't take the initiative to go over.

She disliked children so much that she wanted her own children to avoid them as well.

In fact, this is Murong Liyue's old problem that hasn't changed; her possessiveness and desire for control are still very strong.

If she likes something, she must possess it; if she doesn't like it, then no one else can like it.

Now she's starting to impose these traits on her own children.

Of course, Murong Liyue often didn't have the opportunity to take care of her child. It wasn't that she couldn't, but after her postpartum period, she would return to the company, busy with inheritance and intrigue, leaving the child's upbringing to Bai Yu.

Bai Yu definitely knows what kind of personality Murong Liyue has. If she were to take care of the child, she would probably be just like her mother, arranging everything for the child. If she thinks it's okay, she'll arrange it; if she thinks it's not okay, she'll refuse and dissuade the child from having any idea, no matter how much the child likes or wants it.

Of course, Murong Liyue herself actually hated this kind of controlled life, but her personality was that of someone who liked to control others.

This is an illness, and this girl's condition is even more serious than her mother's.

"Miss Murong, is this your baby? He's so cute! What's his name?"

Looking up at the person speaking, I saw a young woman who looked to be only twenty-eight or twenty-nine years old.

However, after seeing the person come over with a smile and greet her, Murong Liyue subconsciously took a step back, just in time to avoid the hand that was about to touch Bai Murong Yue.

The woman was taken aback when her hand was dodged, then awkwardly withdrew it and laughed.

"This is my baby, Xiaoyun. Your child is so chubby and cute."

The woman tried to get closer to Murong Liyue, but Murong Liyue frowned, turned around, and left.

She's likely to offend people easily, but women who are pregnant and have given birth are often very sensitive and impulsive, and many of the things they do are things they wouldn't normally do.

Seeing that Murong Liyue ignored her, the woman turned around and walked to the other side.

Looking in the direction she went, it turned out that she had gone to the place where Qing Sisi was.

Compared to Murong Liyue's coldness and indifference, Qing Sisi is the youngest and most lively in this postpartum care center.

Even now, with her son Bai Qing in her arms, she still runs around everywhere, and you can't tell at all that she's a mother.

Of the five women, only Qing Sisi and Murong Liyue were in this postpartum care center; the other three were staying in different postpartum care centers.

The main problem is that having everyone stay at a postpartum care center all at once would make it awkward for Bai Yu to visit, since you can't just casually mention having five wives.

Holding Bai Murong Yue in her arms, Murong Liyue sat on a swing made of flowers and watched from afar as Qing Sisi shared her son with others with joy. She felt a surge of disgust.

"Little Yueyue, we can't play with Bai Qing anymore. He's not your brother, understand?"

Side Story – Bai Yu's Anxiety

It is said that women become haggard after having children, and may even experience anxiety about their appearance and figure.

But Bai Yu, though he was pregnant, not only did he not see the anxiety of the women, but he also made himself quite anxious.

A man in his early twenties is now overwhelmed with problems because of his six children.

"Bai Xiaosu, your mother is coming back soon. Don't cry, don't cry, be good."

"Bai Qing, get over here right now! Hey, stop messing around."

"Can the Murong siblings stop bullying Bai Ruo all the time? And Bai Ruo, can you stop picking fights with them all the time?"

"Bai Luo, play with your older brothers, sisters, and cousins. Be lively, go on."

Every time the six children gather together, it brings Bai Yu this chaotic scene.

As a father, he could only coax them; no one would actually hit them. First, they were all still young, and second, he had to distribute his love equally among both the older and younger children.

When I visit the women at the postpartum care center, I carry the babies and visit them one by one, making sure to see them all in a day.

Bai Yu has to go to several different maternity centers every day, which is why he always wears a mask and glasses when he appears.

It should be said that Bai Yu changes his outfit every time he visits a woman, because it would be very troublesome if five women were found to have the same husband.

Rumors are the most harmful, let alone the fact that what he said wasn't just rumors, but the truth.

Bai Yu doesn't plan to visit the five women today. After all, each of the wealthy women's postpartum care centers is expensive, and there's no information disclosed about the care they receive. Each woman has two nannies to take care of her day and night.

Bai Yu had no idea that a month's nanny could earn a decent salary if she did her job diligently; in fact, she could earn more than a normal person could earn in a year or even several years.

Closer to home——

Now Bai Yu has to take her six babies out, and without a nanny accompanying her.

This raises the question: how can one person possibly take care of six children? What if they start crying and fussing?

Bai Yu naturally had her own methods: carrying one on her back and tying another to her front. The stroller was a specially customized three-seater, which could fit Bai Murong Yue, Bai Murong Li, and Bai Luo.

The main reason is that only these three little ones get along well. Although Bai Murong Yue, the second brother, dislikes Bai Ruo, the eldest brother, he is very fond of his two younger sisters, Bai Luo and Bai Murong Li.

After all, Bai Luo's personality is just like her mother Lin Ying's; she is quiet and doesn't cry or make a fuss, only whimpering when she is hungry or uncomfortable.

As for the question of how to carry the remaining one, there's still one left.

Of course, you can hold it in your arms; just use one hand to hold it.

Of course, among the children, only Bai Xiaosu could be held, because Bai Xiaosu liked to cry, just like her mother Su Rongxue, who was very petty and would cry at the drop of a hat.

So the only option is to make it convenient to coax this little girl anytime, anywhere.

Bringing six people with him every time he goes out isn't just Bai Yu challenging himself; it's a habit he has to cultivate to treat everyone equally.

Just because it's convenient to take only one baby when going out doesn't mean you should always take only one baby. This will create a habit of prioritizing convenience, and you'll subconsciously find it troublesome to take six children out at once in the future.

If it weren't for the fact that all six mothers had mental health issues, Bai Yu wouldn't have been so exhausted.
