Female Master: Why doesn’t my wife love me yet?

Chapter 212 An An

The child still doesn’t have a name, not even a nickname. Ji Mingzhao is waiting for Gu Qingyuan to come and name him.

On the other hand, after General Gu learned that Gu Qingyuan's concubine had given birth, he found time to come over and take a look.

When General Gu was around, Luohua was particularly attentive. He held the child as if it were his own and hummed a ballad. He was completely different from when no one was around and the child cried out in hunger, but he pretended not to hear.

"Let me hold the child." General Gu said.

Luo Hua forced a smile on her face, handed the child to General Gu, and said, "This child is very well-behaved. He should look a lot like Young Master Gu when he was a child, right?"

He knew that Gu Qingyuan was General Gu's weak point, otherwise there would not be only a junior like Gu Qingyuan in such a huge general's mansion. It was said that General Gu had two concubines in his family, but they had never been able to give birth.

General Gu held the child in his arms and recalled, "Qingyuan wasn't as well behaved as this child when she was little. She was born weak, and her father was... well, let's not talk about it."

Originally, Gu Qingyuan's father was not from a country where women were superior. He suffered a lot in order to have a child and used drugs to transform his body many times before he could have Gu Qingyuan.

The consequence of this was that toxins remained in both of their bodies, and some masters even asserted that Gu Qingyuan would not live past the age of twenty.

But after her birthday this year, Gu Qingyuan will be twenty-one.

Luohua heard some information from General Gu's words, for example, because she was an only child and had poor health when she was a child, General Gu was more doting on Gu Qingyuan.

He gave a flattering smile and tried hard to flatter Gu Qingyuan.

"I heard that Young Master Gu won first place in the last martial arts competition. He really deserves to be called Young Master Gu."

General Gu ignored him, but looked at the child in his arms and said to the servants, "Call your young master over."

Thinking that she would soon see Gu Qingyuan, Luohua straightened her clothes and straightened her back.

Soon, Gu Qingyuan was brought over.

After seeing General Gu, she smiled widely and called out, "Mom! Why are you here?"

"Of course I came to see the child."

Gu Qingyuan walked around Luohua as if she didn't see him and came to General Gu's side.

No one cared about him, but Luohua was not discouraged. Instead, he tried hard to find his own sense of existence.

"Master Gu, this child always cries at night."

When facing Gu Qingyuan, Luohua even raised her voice deliberately.

"Isn't it your job to take care of the children? Why, did I invite you here for a vacation?"

Luo Hua quickly explained: "I'm not complaining to the young master, I just want him to come over more often to see the child at night."

The intention to see the child was fake, the real intention was to seduce Gu Qingyuan at night.

General Gu turned his head and asked Gu Qingyuan, "Have you named the child yet?"

"Not yet. I want to wait for mother to give him a name."

General Gu smiled and said, "I'm a rough man, so I'm afraid I can't come up with many nice names. Even your name was given to you by your father before you were born."

Gu Qingyuan shook her head, "Mother, you should be the one to name the first child of this general's mansion."

General Gu thought for a moment, then looked down at the child in his arms with big, watery eyes, and said slowly, "Then let's call her An An."

It means peace and safety.

Gu Qingyuan nodded quickly and said, "An An is a good name. Then his nickname will be An An."

"As for the name, it's up to you to choose it."

After holding the child for a while, General Gu's arms felt a little sore, and he planned to hand the child to Luohua.

But for some reason, An An was very resistant to Luo Hua. She was so young and knew nothing, but she would cry when she saw Luo Hua.

Luo Hua smiled awkwardly, "It seems that the young master is here, An An wants his mother to hold him even more."

Gu Qingyuan said, "Let me hold you for a while, An'an. You will be called An'an from now on."

After learning that General Gu was coming, Ji Mingzhao asked his servants to help him come over.

When Luohua saw him, jealousy flashed across her eyes, and then she knelt down at Ji Mingzhao's feet as if she had thought of something.

Ji Mingzhao was startled by the sudden movement and asked, "Why are you kneeling down to me?"

Because General Gu and Gu Qingyuan were both present at the time, Luohua slapped herself in the face and said, "Master Ji, I know you don't like me right now and you're worried that I'll steal the young master's affection for you."

His words made Ji Mingzhao's heart tighten. Ji Mingzhao wanted to pull him up, but Luohua continued, "But the little master is still breastfeeding. Even if you don't like me, you should consider the little master!"

As she spoke, Luohua pinched her thigh, forcing herself to shed a few tears.

Ji Mingzhao was a little at a loss. His body had not yet fully recovered from giving birth. He could just get out of bed and walk, but he would feel uncomfortable standing for a long time.

Luohua was still acting, speaking with tears in his eyes. As he spoke, he kept slapping himself in the face. Soon his face was covered with slap marks, and it looked like a monkey's butt.

He knelt down beside Gu Qingyuan and said with tears in his eyes, "Young Master Gu, you don't know, I just had dirt in my eye that day and was trying to rub it out in front of the mirror, but Master Ji thought I was just dressing up and got furious."

"God knows this. I'm a thirty-year-old man who relies on breastfeeding other people's children for a living. How could Master Ji slander me like this?"

On that day, only Ji Mingzhao and his servant Xiaohan were present. When Xiaohan heard Luohua say this about Ji Mingzhao, he didn't care about anything else.

"Don't talk nonsense. We all saw you that day. You were clearly applying powder in front of the mirror. You even sprayed perfume on yourself. Our Ji Cefu just said she was worried the child would be uncomfortable, so she asked you to use less in the future."

Luo Hua glanced at them and said, "You are close to Master Ji, so naturally you should speak for him."

After saying that, he looked up at Gu Qingyuan again, with a look of grievance on his face, and said, "Master Gu, I am a legitimate father, how can I allow people to slander me like this."

Ji Mingzhao felt a headache. Perhaps it was because he had stayed in the peaceful environment of the Gu family for too long that he forgot how those people had used tricks to compete for his mother's favor when he was in the Ji family.

Faced with Luohua's series of accusations, he didn't know how to defend himself.

He could only look at Gu Qingyuan and shook his head desperately, "Wife, I didn't do that. He's just talking nonsense."

Luohua simply started to kowtow to Gu Qingyuan, and his forehead touched the upper of Gu Qingyuan's shoes.

"I've lived an upright life. I've nursed dozens, if not hundreds, of children. How come your family can't accommodate me?"
