Chapter 292: Clumsy Fathering

He Xiyan threw a baby float into the hot tub and after Ye Hao put it on Yuan Yuan, he became extremely active and kept kicking his tiny legs and swinging his small hands in the water. Soon, he propelled himself to the other end of the tub and opened his mouth to shoot his mother a smile.

Ye Hao turned around and saw He Xiyan nearby sitting on a swing.

She was also looking at him.

“Did that man come by today?” Ye Hao asked a little unhappily as he thought back to the unpleasant text yesterday.

He Xiyan nodded.

“Yes, but I told him clearly that I wouldn’t give the child to the Mo family.”

“Alright. Don’t waste your time talking to him next time. If he comes looking for you again, tell him to look for me,” Ye Hao said. Yuan Yuan would be his son this lifetime and he wouldn’t give Yuan Yuan to anyone else.

This kid was very intelligent despite being a little ugly but appearances could be reshaped at a later date. If he were to groom the kid well, this kid could grow up to become an outstanding man.

After spending so many months caring for the child, why should he give it to Mo Yixuan?

“Come here, kid,” Ye Hao waved at Yuan Yuan who was at the opposite end.

Yuan Yuan swam around like a little frog and smiled as he swam, looking incredibly happy.

He swam to Ye Hao’s side, looked up at him and called out in his childish voice, “Pa pa…”

Ye Hao drew him into his arms, then flung the float aside.

They had already spent more than 30 minutes in the hot tub and although he didn’t mind spending such a long time in the tub, it wouldn’t be good for the kid to remain in the water.

He stood up and his tall figure cast a long, black shadow on the ground. His body was dripping wet and covered in water droplets.

The moment they left the tub, Yuan Yuan immediately pouted and blinked sadly at the tub, looking like he didn’t want to leave.

He Xiyan brought over a bath towel and a smaller towel. She passed the long bath towel to Ye Hao and he didn’t know how to use it so he wrapped the child in his arms like a dumpling and stuffed him back into the pram.

He Xiyan watched with her mouth agape.

This was when she finally understood why people were always saying that fathers would make a mess when they were left alone with the baby. No wonder there were so many hilarious clips of fathers trying to look after their kids online.

Ye Hao’s actions were just like the actions of the fathers in those clips.

“He’ll be very uncomfortable if you wrap him up like that,” He Xiyan looked at Ye Hao, then at Yuan Yuan in the pram who pouted unhappily.

“What’s wrong?” Ye Hao quickly threw on his nightgown. “Look, he isn’t crying. This is the best way to wrap him so that he wouldn’t catch a cold.”

He was very pleased with his handiwork since he had even wrapped Yuan Yuan’s hands and legs inside the towel. The only part of Yuan Yuan’s body that wasn’t wrapped in the towel was his head. He looked both cute and adorable. Ye Hao pinched the child’s small bouncy cheeks. His smooth skin felt very soft to the touch.

They returned to the bedroom and Ye Hao prepared two hot cups of milk. One was for him and he passed the other cup to He Xiyan.

“Come, Yan Yan. Drink up.”

He Xiyan shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”

“The baby’s hungry,” Ye Hao lifted her chin and with a gentle pinch, he pried opened her mouth and made to pour the milk down her throat.

He didn’t want her to starve herself before the wedding to look slimmer.

He Xiyan couldn’t outtalk him, so she closed her eyes and drank the entire cup of milk.

Ye Hao bent down and placed his ear by her swollen belly.

This belly was growing very quickly and he felt that it grew bigger each day.
