After the child was born, Shen Shao asked the doctor to keep the umbilical cord blood for him.
Jun Li had already told Shen Shao how to cure his disease before, and Shen Shao cured his own disease by relying on the umbilical cord blood of the newborn.
Not only did Shen Shao have a child, but because of this child, he himself was reborn.
Shen Shao named the child Shen Han, nicknamed Xiaoli.
Xiao Li, like other little mermaids, cannot complete gender evolution until he is fifteen years old, so Shen Shao doesn't know whether he will give birth to a son or a daughter.
When Xiaoli was ten months old, she finally turned her little tail into two legs. The little mermaid in human form looks no different from a human baby.
It's just that the little mermaid still doesn't know how to control this change stably. If he's hungry or wet, and cries loudly, he can't help turning his legs into fish tails.
Shen Shao has changed from a scientific researcher who spends all day in the laboratory to a single parent who studies child-rearing assiduously. He is also a father and a mother, learning how to raise children little by little.
Fortunately, the little mermaid is very good-natured, she seems to know that it is not easy for her father, she rarely makes noise, and is much easier to take care of than ordinary children.
Shen Shao usually still has a job, so he can't let go of his company affairs and stay at home with his children.
Shen Shao's mother is not in good health, although Xiaoli is very good, but after all, she is still a baby who has no ability to take care of herself, and Shen Shao's mother can't take care of herself.
Shen Shao plans to hire a confinement wife to help Shen's mother take care of Xiao Li.
In this era, although it is not uncommon for female mermaids to intermarry with humans and give birth to offspring, it is the first time in human society that humans give birth to mermaids.
In order not to attract the attention of the outside world, Shen Shao's conditions for selecting a confinement wife are extremely strict, she must have a good character, a strict mouth, loyalty and reliability.
Shen Shao chose out of thousands of choices a confinement wife with more than ten years of experience. The confinement wife is capable, but for some reason, Xiao Li, who has always been not afraid of strangers, is the only one who refuses to be hugged by the confinement wife. Crying, no matter how coaxed, I can't coax her.
Shen Shao had no choice but to dismiss that confinement wife and choose another one to invite home, but Xinyue concubine still couldn't coax Xiaoli.
The confinement sisters changed one after another, but Xiao Li didn't want to get close to any of them, which stumped the whole family.
Suddenly, someone from Tian's housekeeping company suggested that it might be that Xiaoli resisted women's contact, and asked Shen Shao if he would consider trying a confinement lady.
Shen Shao had no choice but to try it out and asked the housekeeping company to send a confinement lady to her home for an interview.
The housekeeping company sent three male confinement ladies over at one time for Shen Shao to choose. Shen Shao read their resumes and found that they all graduated from the housekeeping major.
Two of the three were plain-looking, with gentle eyebrows and eyes, and looked like honest people. The other boy stood in the middle of the two and looked extremely incompatible.
He doesn't look like a housekeeper, but looks like those drafted idols, with handsome features, especially a pair of eyes, which are lively and energetic.
Shen Shao noticed several times that boys were peeking at him intentionally or unintentionally.
For a golden bachelor like Shen Shao, I don't know how many people usually give him glances.
He has long been used to being coveted by others, and never gives those people half a look.
Shen Shao discounted the boy's favorability in his heart, and excluded the boy from the selection list.
But who knows, among the three of them, Xiao Li is only willing to be hugged by that boy. As soon as the boy stretched out his hand to Xiao Li, Xiao Li twisted his body from his grandmother's arms, and couldn't wait to open his hands to the boy to ask for him. hug.
Xiao Li not only giggled in the boy's arms, but also hugged the boy's neck and refused to let go.
Shen Shao and Shen's mother were very surprised when they saw this, but Xiao Li had never been so warm to other people who met for the first time.
Shen Shao had no choice but to send away the other two confinement maids he liked, leaving behind the most handsome one.
It doesn't matter whether he likes it or not, who makes his baby like it.
The boy introduced himself as Ai Luo. He has just graduated from a university majoring in domestic economics for one year and has one year of work experience.
Shen's mother saw Ai Luo looking upright and clean, and it was rare that Xiao Li was willing to get close to him, so she had a good impression of Ai Luo in her heart.
Both the child and the mother liked it, Shen Shao didn't say anything anymore, and lightly told Ai Luo that as long as he did his job well, he would never treat him badly, Ai Luo nodded and agreed.
While the two were talking, Shen Shao didn't even look at Ai Luo, and directly put on an attitude of rejecting others. If Ai Luo is smart enough, Xiao should not think about it in the future.
Ai Luo lives in Shen's house, and when Shen Shao is away, he and Shen's mother will take care of Xiaoli.
Ai Luo looks young, but he is very experienced in taking care of children. He takes good care of all aspects of Xiaoli. Shen's mother is very satisfied with Ai Luo, and she often praises Ai Luo's ability in front of Shen Shao.
Every time Shen Shao listened to it, he didn't have any reaction, but when he paid Ai Luo's salary at the end of the month, he gave Ai Luo another generous bonus. Other than that, he was stingy with even a compliment.
One weekend, Shen Shao didn't go to work and rested at home. Shen's mother asked the old sister out for a beauty treatment. Only Shen Shao, Ai Luo and the child were left at home.
When Shen Shao was at home, he took care of Xiao Li himself, and rarely left others alone.
Children need to get enough sleep to grow fast. In the afternoon, Shen Shao was going to coax the child to sleep as usual, but recently Xiao Li got used to Ai Luo coaxing him to sleep. Shen Shao coaxed him for a long time, but Xiao Li refused to close his eyes obediently.
In the end, it was Ai Luo who took Xiao Li from Shen Shao's arms, put the child to sleep and carried him to the nursery, while Shen Shao went to work in the study.
Two hours later, Shen Shao finished his business and came out of the study. He didn't see Xiao Li, so he went to the nursery to look for the child.
Gently opened the door and saw that Xiao Li was sleeping soundly in the crib, and Ai Luo lay on the side of the crib and fell asleep. He still didn't forget to coax the baby in his sleep, and patted the quilt covered by Xiao Li from time to time.
Shen Shao walked lightly to the child's bedside, and found that Xiaoli's quilt was a little bulging, and when he opened it, the two little fat legs were gone, and turned into a pink fish tail.
It should be wet, and before changing the diaper, the little mermaid showed its original shape.
Shen Shao picked up Xiaoli and put him on the other side of the bed, ready to change the baby's diaper after the fish's tail turned back.
Just at this time, Ai Luo slapped the air with one hand, but missed the child, and immediately woke up in fright, opened his eyes to look for the child, but unexpectedly raised his head to meet a pair of deep black eyes.
"Mr. Shen, it's you." Ai Luo breathed a sigh of relief, seeing Shen Shao changing Xiao Li's diaper, he quickly stood up and apologized, "Sorry, I fell asleep just now, let me change it."
"No, I'll do it myself." Shen Shao coldly avoided Ai Luo's hand, and took out a wet towel to help the child clean his body.
The child didn't know what happened today. He was so sleepy that he didn't wake up after changing the diaper.
However, Shen Shao has been busy with work recently, and he often has to get home late at night, and Xiao Li has already fallen asleep at that time.
He felt that he had less time to spend with the child, so he simply sat down by the bed, wanting to spend more time with the child.
Shen Shao didn't let Ai Luo go out, but he didn't pay attention to him either. Ai Luo could only stand aside cautiously.
Too quiet, a little embarrassed, Ai Luo took a deep breath, and said without words: "It can be seen that Mr. Shen really loves children."
Shen Shao said "hmm" and said lightly, "There are no parents who don't love their children."
It was rare for Ai Luo to hear that Shen Shao was willing to talk to him. He blinked and asked boldly, "Mr. Shen, I've been here for so long and I've seen you taking care of Xiaoli by yourself. Why don't you see your lover?"
Shen Shao looked down at the cute sleeping face of the little mermaid, was silent for a while, and then said, "I don't have a lover."
A strange look flashed across Ai Luo's eyes, and he lowered his head to cover up: "That's it, I am talking too much, sorry Mr. Shen."
Shen Shao showed no expression, "It's nothing, and it's not a secret."
"Then..." Ai Luo hesitated, and asked, "Has Mr. Shen thought about finding a mother for Xiaoli? It's better for the child to grow up in a sound family environment, which is good for the child's physical and mental health."
Shen Shao turned his head and looked at Ai Luo with a half-smile, "Do you think that if I raise Xiao Li alone, Xiao Li will be physically and mentally unhealthy in the future?"
Ai Luo felt guilty when he saw him, and lowered his head to avoid Shen Shao's gaze, and said, "No, I didn't mean that, I just gave advice from a professional point of view, if Mr. Shen doesn't like to hear it, just pretend I didn't say it Bar."
"It's enough for Xiaoli to have me," Shen Shao looked back and said indifferently, "Me too."
He speaks heavily, and he doesn't know whether he is speaking to himself or to whom.
Time flies, and when Xiaoli was one year old, Shen Shao's mother felt that Shen Shao could not live with the child by herself for the rest of her life, so she tried to find someone for Shen Shao.
But Shen's mother is not sure about Shen Shao's current sexual orientation. Logically speaking, Shen Shao used to like women, but what happened before, her son even gave birth to a child, would he still like women
Mother Shen hesitated for several days, and finally made up her mind to ask Shen Shao what he thought.
Shen Shao didn't object to Shen's mother wanting to help him find a partner, and he didn't stipulate whether the target was a man or a woman, he only had one request.
I like children, I will treat them well in the future, and treat Xiaoli as my own.
In a wealthy family like the Shen family, men and women who want to climb high are like crucian carp crossing the river. Let alone Shen Shao has one child, even if Shen Shao has ten children, hundreds of those people are willing to be stepmothers and stepfathers for Shen Shao's children.
After getting her son's personal approval, Shen's mother immediately got involved.
There are quite a few good friends with Shen's mother in the circle of noble ladies. Before, they knew that Shen Shao had a family genetic disease and might not live long, so they didn't introduce them. Now that they know that Shen Shao's illness has recovered, everyone enthusiastically helped to recommend them.
Among so many candidates, Shen's mother took a fancy to a young lady who was in the same family as the Shen family.
The lady's surname is Fang, and it is said that she is very gentle and generous, and also has a high degree of education. She is a female doctor studying medicine, and she is a good match for Shen Shao in terms of qualifications.
The most important thing is that Miss Fang is a DINK and has no plans to have children. If she marries in, she will definitely regard Xiaoli as her own.
Shen's mother met Miss Fang first, and Miss Fang was very satisfied in all aspects, and after returning home, she began to arrange a blind date for Shen Shao and Miss Fang.
At dinner that day, Shen's mother briefly told Shen Shao about Miss Fang's situation at the dinner table, and asked Shen Shao if he would like to meet.
Shen Shao said: "Let's meet. If we can chat with this Miss Fang, we don't need to look at anything else. Let's settle down early before Xiaoli remembers."
Seeing that her son, who was always critical, didn't object, Shen's mother was naturally overjoyed and said yes repeatedly.
On the other hand, Ai Luo, who was feeding Xiao Li, heard the mother and son's conversation, shook her hand, and dropped the spoon on the ground. Shen's mother heard the sound and turned her head: "What's wrong, Xiao Ai?"
"It's nothing, the spoon fell." Ai Luo picked up the spoon and stood up, accidentally kicked down the chair behind him, helped the chair up in a hurry, and hurriedly bowed to Shen's mother and Shen Shao, "I'm sorry Excuse me, I'm going to wash the spoon."
Shen's mother murmured to Shen Shao in a strange way: "Xiao Ai is usually very steady, what's wrong today? She can't even feed her well, she's so careless."
Shen Shao glanced at the back of Ai Luo who seemed to be in a panic, and didn't reply to Shen's mother's words, but the corners of his mouth slightly turned up.
After making an appointment with Ms. Fang, Shen Shao deliberately spent the whole morning choosing the clothes to wear for the appointment.
When Shen Shao finished dressing and came out of the locker room, Ai Luo happened to pass by the door of the locker room with Xiao Li in his arms.
Shen Shao was dressed in a neat suit and was full of vigor. He still had the handsome appearance that fascinated thousands of girls in the past.
Ai Luo stared at Shen Shao, and said in a low tone: "Mr. Shen is dressed so grandly today, he must attach great importance to the appointment with Miss Fang."
Shen Shao calmly tightened his tie, stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Li's chin, Xiao Li was amused by his father, and Shen Shao also smiled.
"I don't know how to find a mother for Xiaoli to come back to our family."
Ai Luo's face turned pale, and his body turned in a direction, as if he didn't want Shen Shao to touch the child.
He said in a dry tone, "Mr. Shen, have you heard a saying? Where there is a stepmother, there is a stepfather. What if Miss Fang of yours is married back home and she treats Xiao Li badly?"
Shen Shao said flatly: "No, Miss Fang is a DINK, and she has no plans to have children, so even if she can't treat Xiao Li as her own, she will definitely not treat Xiao Li badly."
Ai Luo's tone was a little anxious, "But what if Xiaoli doesn't like Miss Fang as his mother? You have to respect the child's wishes, right?"
Shen Shao snorted lightly, "Xiaoli is only one year old, so his wish has reference value? Besides, didn't you persuade me to give Xiaoli a healthy family environment before?"
"That's..." Ai Luo was speechless, pursed her lower lip, and said with an unnatural expression, "No matter what, the stepmother is definitely not as good as the real mother."
"Then do you know where Xiaoli's mother is?" Shen Shao asked with a sneer.
Ai Luo stopped talking, and walked forward with Xiao Li in his arms, and said angrily: "Then I wish Mr. Shen a smooth blind date, and fall in love with Miss Fang at first sight!"
Seeing that the appointed time was coming soon, Shen Shao didn't bother to tell Eludor, so he left the house and rushed to the restaurant that he had made an appointment with Miss Fang.
When I arrived at the restaurant, I saw Ms. Fang, and it was exactly as Shen's mother said, she was gentle, virtuous, and generous, and she was indeed a suitable wife to marry back home.
Miss Fang naturally also fell in love with the handsome and rich Shen Shao, she is a straightforward person, she told Shen Shao directly that she admired him very much, and asked if Shen Shao was interested in her, if so, now You can try dating.
Shen Shao smiled, but before he spoke, suddenly the personal terminal indicated that there was a call from home.
Shen Shao was worried that it was about Xiaoli, so he greeted Ms. Fang and walked aside to answer the phone.
It was Ai Luo's voice, very anxious: "Mr. Shen, I don't know what's wrong with Xiaoli, she's been crying all the time, I can't coax him no matter what."
Shen Shao: "What's going on? I was fine before I left."
Ai Luo: "I don't know either, maybe I caught a cold, why don't you come back and have a look?"
Shen Shao was concerned about Xiao Li, and he didn't even think about dating anymore, "Well, I'll be right back."
After hanging up the phone, Shen Shao and Ms. Fang explained the child's situation. Ms. Fang was a considerate person, and hurriedly said that the child was important and she was not in the way, and urged Shen Shao to go home to see the child.
Shen Shao rushed back in a hurry, only to see Ai Luo sitting on the sofa, and Xiao Li lying beside his lap in the tax office quietly, crying non-stop like what Ai Luo said on the phone just now.
"What's the matter? Didn't you say that Xiao Li is sick?" Shen Shao walked over to observe Xiao Li's situation carefully, and found that the child was obviously very well.
Ai Luo: "Before I called you, the child was really crying. I tried every means to coax him to no avail, but I don't know what happened. He stopped crying just now. Do you think it's strange?"
"Strange?" Shen Shao sneered, "I think it's someone's fault?"
Ai Luo blinked innocently, as if he didn't understand, and said to him from left to right: "How is your date with Ms. Fang? I called you in a hurry just now, did I disturb you? Ms. Fang will Won't you have a problem with you?"
"Miss Fang is very considerate and won't mind this." Shen Shao said calmly, "And we are both very satisfied with each other. We have made an appointment to discuss the marriage when we meet next time."
Ai Luo opened his eyes wide and said in shock: "So soon? You two are talking about marriage after meeting for the first time?"
Shen Shao: "The top priority now is that I lack a wife and Xiaoli lacks a mother. Miss Fang is the right choice."
"Xiao Li is not lacking!" Ai Luo's eyes flashed with pain, and he murmured, "He is not lacking."
"You're just a confinement lady hired by our family, isn't it too lenient?" Shen Shao's tone turned cold, and his face darkened.
Ai Luo stood up from the sofa, clenched his fists and asked restraintly: "Do you like her?"
Shen Shao: "I can't say whether I like it or not when we meet for the first time."
Ai Luo: "I don't like it, you want to marry her?"
"As long as it is suitable, feelings can be cultivated slowly." Shen Shao said.
Ai Luo suddenly said: "Then do you like me?"
"What did you say?" Shen Shao looked at Ai Luo in disbelief as if he had heard a joke, "Are you crazy about gain and loss?"
Ai Luo's breathing slowed down, he stared into Shen Shao's eyes, and said word by word: "Can we develop a relationship slowly?"
The corner of Shen Shao's mouth twitched, "Sorry, I don't think we are suitable."
"Where is it inappropriate?" Ai Luo asked stubbornly, "Xiao Li likes me very much, definitely more than that Miss Fang, and I also take good care of Xiao Li, am I not the most suitable to raise Xiao Li with you Candidate? Even if you don't like me, but you don't like Miss Fang, why can't you choose me?"
Shen Shao looked at Ai Luo for a while, and seemed to feel that this person was unreasonable. He had nothing to say, so he turned his head and walked to the study.
Ai Luo caught up from behind and grabbed Shen Shao's hand, "Don't go."
"Let go." Shen Shao didn't look back, his tone was cold.
"Don't let go," Ai Luo said bitterly, "If you let go, you will find a stepmother for Xiao Li."
"What does it matter to you whether I find a stepmother for Xiaoli?" Shen Shao asked back.
"It's related, it's related..." Ai Luo said incoherently, "Anyway, you can't find a stepmother for Xiao Li, what if she abuses Xiao Li?"
Shen Shao: "Miss Fang is a famous lady, I believe she won't."
"Then I don't agree either!" Ai Luo grabbed Shen Shao's hand and pulled Shen Shao around. Shen Shao looked at him indifferently, "Why do you disagree? Who do you think you are?"
Ai Luo's lips trembled, but he chose to remain silent after all.
Shen Shao snorted coldly, shook off Ai Luo's hand and went upstairs, Ai Luo followed step by step, watching Shen Shao walk into the study and close the door.
Ai Luo stood at the door of the study for a long time, but still didn't have the courage to open the door and walk in.
After a while, Ai Luo remembered that Xiaoli was still asleep on the sofa downstairs, worried that the child would cry when he woke up and couldn't find the adults, so he prepared to go downstairs.
As soon as he reached the stairs, a hand suddenly grabbed his arm from behind, preventing Ai Luo from going downstairs.
Of course Ai Luo knew who it was, and was overjoyed, but before he could see Shen Shao's expression clearly, he was punched in the face.
"Who the hell do you think you are? Why the hell do you disagree? Come and go as you please, what do you think I am here?" Shen Shao pushed Ai Luo to the ground and straddled him , punched him mercilessly, "Bastard! Why do you disagree? I just want to marry someone else. If you still have a conscience, get out of here and don't let me see you again!"
"It can't be done!" Ai Luo didn't resist, and let Shen Shao's fists fall on him, trying to sit up and hug Shen Shao, screaming in pain, "I won't leave you, even if you kill me, I will I won't... Shen Shao, I don't ask you to forgive me, I don't ask you to love me, as long as I stay with you and Xiaoli, even if I'm just a servant to take care of you, I'm willing... But don't marry someone else, okay? Okay? I really can't take it!"
"Won't you leave?" Shen Shao stopped, grabbed Ai Luo's collar and asked, "Where the hell were you when I gave birth to Xiaoli? I almost died in the operation within a month after giving birth. Where the hell were you when you were on stage? Now that you know you’ve come back to recognize your relatives?”
Ai Luo smiled bitterly and cried, "I am here, I have always been here."
Shen Shao was taken aback, "What?"
Ai Luo, who is also Jun Li, said slowly: "I have always been by your side, but I was afraid that you would not want to see me, so I dare not stand in front of you with my true face. I was there when you gave birth to Xiaoli, and I pretended to be The nurse entered the delivery room with you. I was also there when you were undergoing surgery. I personally pushed you into the operating room. You don’t know. I saw your pain, and my heart was about to break. If that day you If an accident happened, I really wouldn’t be able to live.”
He took a deep breath, hugged Shen Shao tightly, and continued: "But I dare not recognize you, I'm afraid you don't want to see me, back then you would rather die than be with me, so I can only choose Another way to get close to you. But I overestimated myself. When I heard that you were going to marry someone else and let my child recognize someone else as a mother, I still couldn't help it. Shen Shao, I was wrong before, I used the wrong way to love you, can you ask me to make it up to you? Don't drive me away, you treat me as a piece of furniture in your home, a decoration, don't want me, please... "
"Who doesn't want you anymore? Who wants to drive you away?" Shen Shao said hoarsely after a long time, "If you really don't want you, I would have kicked you out as early as the first time we met. Who can you fool with your little disguise?"
Jun Li suddenly raised his head, his eyes filled with ecstasy, "Really?"
Shen Shao turned his face away to prevent Jun Li from seeing his reddened eyes, and pushed him to feign anger, "Fake, get out of here."
"No!" Jun Li wanted to laugh, but he pulled the wound on the corner of his mouth that Shen Shao just slapped. He didn't care about the pain, and said happily, "You recognized me a long time ago, didn't you? But You didn't drive me away, which means you are still willing to be with me, right? I won't leave, I won't leave, even if you drive me away this time, I won't leave you!"
"Stupid fish," Shen Shao wanted to keep his face expressionless, but after all he couldn't resist Jun Li's enthusiasm. The corners of his eyes were moist and sparkling. He looked at Jun Li and asked helplessly, "Do you know what love is?"
Jun Li leaned into the corner of his eyes and sucked away Shen Shaojiang's remaining tears, "I didn't know it before, but now I don't understand it, please teach me, I'm willing to spend my whole life learning, okay?"
Shen Shao looked at Jun Li for a long time, sighed softly, and finally kissed him unbearably.
