Even until now, she didn’t feel comfortable with so many people looking at their way. She still felt that the three of them going out together was an amazing sight to others.
Gu Jingze was also very proud. He stood there as everyone congratulated him.

His daughter made him feel proud. He listened as everyone said that the little princess was really pretty and cute. His heart was filled with satisfaction.
He looked down at the baby in the swaddle and he was certain that n.o.body was as beautiful as his daughter.

Because she had Yu Minmin’s eyes, his face structure, Yu Minmin’s elegance, and his pride, her beauty looked even more heaven-sent.

The couple carried the baby through the door and everyone gathered around them.
But with the bodyguards by their sides, Gu Jingming waved and thanked everyone. They did not dare to get too close.
Only the few Gu family members were here and they came straight towards the couple.
Mu Wanqing was naturally elated. She took the baby in her arms to get a closer look. Then, she handed the baby to her husband.

Lin Che stood quietly at one side. She did not interrupt them.
When they were inside, Yu Minmin then stood with Lin Che. The nanny held the baby carefully. Lin Che went to her and said, “Let me carry the baby.”
The nanny did not dare to let her and quickly said, “Second Madam, you’re pregnant and it’s not good for you to carry extra weight. Little Miss is not heavy, but that’s to us normal people. It’s different for you.”
The nanny’s attention was highly focused on the baby, but she did not forget other details too.
Lin Che and the baby were both equally precious. If she let Lin Che carry the baby and something happened, she would not be able to afford to pay it.
Lin Che smiled and said, “I’m not that precious. It’s alright. Let me carry her. I haven’t had the chance to carry her properly since she was born. She was placed in an incubator previously.”
Yu Minmin looked at her, smiled, and said, “It’s okay. Let her carry.”
The nanny then hesitantly and carefully handed the baby to her. She helped to support the weight at the bottom.
The baby was tiny in her arms. Lin Che looked at her and was reminded of how adorable Niannian was as a baby too.
She antic.i.p.ated her own delivery. Babies were so soft and cute.
Lin Che asked, “Has Little Nian grown a lot?”
Yu Minmin said, “Yeah, she gained four pounds in a month.”
“Wow, that’s amazing! I remember Niannian didn’t even gain three pounds at that age.”
Yu Minmin said, “So many people are taking care of her at home and she’s being well cared for. She also came out tiny, so she grew a little more this month. The doctor said that she’s fine and she has already caught up to her peers. It’s a pity that I can’t produce a lot of milk. I’m not sure if it has to do with the premature birth.”
Yu Minmin also wanted to breastfeed her daughter, but she simply did not have enough milk.
The nanny said, “Madam, don’t worry too much. The baby will still grow well. This child loves you. If you breastfeed her, she will bite you when she gets older and it’ll be very painful.”
The nanny naturally put in good words. Yu Minmin smiled and did not say anything else. Lin Che said, “It’s fine. It’s said that breast milk is good, but the baby will still grow no matter what she drinks. Don’t think too much into it now.”
Yu Minmin thought that she was probably overthinking things. It was just that everyone in the house was busy doing something for the baby and this made her feel useless.

Yu Minmin laughed self-deprecatingly. Were all mothers like this, or was it just her?

Yu Minmin looked at the surroundings outside, and the manor inside. It looked like Lin Che’s style and it was very unique.
Yu Minmin said, “You did a good job decorating the place.”
Lin Che said, “Really?” She knew Yu Minmin was definitely more experienced in this than she was. Furthermore, she would never compliment herself. “You’re not consoling me, are you? It’s for your daughter’s first-month party. Are you happy with it?”
Yu Minmin looked outside and said sincerely, “Of course, I’m happy. I think this place is great. It’s warm and natural, and the pink outside is lovely. I’m going to take Little Nian out later for a photo.”
Lin Che was extremely satisfied. “Really? It’s perfect as long as you like it. I have been on my toes the past few days. I was afraid that you wouldn’t like it.”
Yu Minmin said, “That wouldn’t have happened. This is very compelling and elegant. I think it’s a total success. You’re pretty gifted in this area. Let’s see what they have to say this time and see if they still think you can’t be the matriarch.”
Lin Che said, “Sigh, but as long as you don’t like a person, you can always find something to nitpick on.”
“Nevermind. It’s a meritocratic society now. Don’t care what they do.”
“That’s right.”
Someone from the outside announced that it was time for the family photoshoot.
Lin Che also followed. Everyone stood in front of a prepared backdrop and took a group photo. This was also an important part of a first-month party. The most important members were Gu Jingze, Gu Jingming, and the few others. The family positioned themselves while the rest hung around outside, drinking and chatting about all kinds of topics.
“Just look at the whole family. They are so high-valued.”
“Well, the richer you are, the prettier woman you can find. The successors are naturally good too. Madam Mu was a renowned beauty in her day too, so all her children are also beautiful and handsome.”
“Look at their family photo. It looks like a painting.”
The guests spoke with envy as they looked at this heartwarming image. They could not say anything else.
Mother Qin watched from afar and scoffed. She mumbled, “Why isn’t our Mengqi included in the photo?”
Qin Qing was too lazy to explain more. He only said plainly, “Mengqi is a distant relative. Those in the photo are the top of the Gu family. Not a single distant relative can enter. How could Mengqi be included?”
Mother Qin scoffed. She sipped her drink and said proudly, “That’s not for sure. Once Mengqi becomes the matriarch, Mengqi has to be a part of that.”
Father Qin heard this and quickly interrupted, “Enough. Stop talking nonsense. You can brag about it all day at home, but the walls have ears outside so you better be careful. If someone hears it, your life will be gone.”
Mother Qin felt unjust when Father Qin lectured her.
She looked ahead resentfully and really hoped that Mengqi could become matriarch sooner. This way, Lin Che and her friends would not be this arrogant anymore. When that time came, they would have to give in to Mengqi whenever they crossed paths.
After taking the photo, Gu Jingze walked outside with an arm around Lin Che.
Lin Che looked up at Gu Jingze. “Does this mean it’s over?”
Gu Jingze nodded. “Yes.”
Lin Che said, “Tell me the truth. How do you think I did?”
“Hm… It’s acceptable.”
“Acceptable?” Lin Che pouted. “Does that mean you’re not very satisfied?”
