5: Double Happiness
The next day, the sun was already high in the sky!
But Li Daoxuan still hadn't gotten up, which made Xiao Man and Xiao Yu anxious.
Xiao Man said with great worry, "Why haven't Young Master and his wife made any noise yet?"
"Should I go in and check?"
Before Xiao Man could finish speaking, she was about to knock on the door, but Xiao Yu, who was beside her, quickly stopped her, saying, "Wait a little longer! Perhaps Young Master and his wife are too tired and haven't gotten up yet!"
"Ah? Is sleeping tiring? Shouldn't one be very energetic after sleeping?"
Xiao Yu's small face flushed slightly upon hearing this, and she said bashfully, "Anyway, don't ask! You're still young! You don't understand!"
"Oh! Is that so?" Xiao Man looked at Xiao Yu with a bit of a dazed expression and then realized, "Xiao Yu, I'm clearly older than you!"
Then she puffed out her chest proudly.
The two little maids were whispering outside the door when the door suddenly opened.
Actually, Li Daoxuan had woken up a long time ago and was just lying in bed until he heard the commotion outside and was driven out of bed by his wife.
Li Daoxuan said calmly, "What are you two little maids whispering about? Disturbing this Young Master's rest!"
Xiao Man pouted unhappily and said, "Young Master, Xiao Yu said I'm small, but I'm clearly older than her!"
Li Daoxuan looked at Xiao Yu and then at Xiao Man, saying, "About the same!"
"Hiss! Ouch! Let go quickly!"
Li Daoxuan's lower back was attacked; a soft little hand could twist with surprising strength.
"Husband, are you bullying Xiao Man and Xiao Yu again?" Su Youruo's faint voice suddenly sounded behind Li Daoxuan.
"No! Absolutely not!"
...
Time flew by quickly; ever since Li Daoxuan got married, he spent even less time cultivating.
He lived a shameless life every day.
One day, Su Youruo's hesitant demeanor caught Li Daoxuan's attention.
"Wife, is there something you want to say? Why do I feel like you're acting strange?"
"Ah? No!"
Li Daoxuan was even more certain now. Had the inevitable finally arrived?
Li Daoxuan placed his hands on Su Youruo's shoulders and said seriously, "Wife, I know you definitely have something to say. Tell me!"
"Hu... Husband, I... I'm pregnant!"
Li Daoxuan was stunned, unsure, "What did you say? Pregnant! You mean I'm going to be a father?"
"Mm-hmm!"
"Hahaha... I'm going to be a father!" Li Daoxuan was very excited, and a little overwhelmed; this was his first child in two lives.
Su Youruo saw her husband so happy and also showed a gentle smile; at this moment, Su Youruo seemed to radiate light, the radiance of motherhood.
Following this, Li Daoxuan's care for Su Youruo was meticulous, making Su Youruo feel embarrassed.
"Husband, why don't you take a concubine?"
"I think Xiao Yu and Xiao Man are quite good!"
Li Daoxuan was startled and quickly shook his head, saying, "Two little yellow-haired girls, what's so good about them?"
"Hmm?" Su Youruo looked at Li Daoxuan with a half-smile, and Li Daoxuan immediately realized and quickly said, "No, I mean no concubines!"
"It is said that the First Beauty of Tianshui City is very gentle and virtuous, why not..."
Li Daoxuan said righteously, "Isn't the First Beauty of Tianshui City my wife?"
"A princess of the Great Zhou Dynasty is of marriageable age, and she's also the First Beauty of Great Zhou!"
"Cough cough! My wife is the most beautiful..."
Li Daoxuan was not ready to take a concubine for now. Hmm! That's right, just for now!
On this day, the entire Li residence was in an uproar.
Due to lack of experience and no elders in the Li family, facing the matter of childbirth was extremely nerve-wracking.
Actually, Li Daoxuan was truly overthinking it.
Su Youruo was not an ordinary person to begin with; although Su Youruo currently appeared to be an ordinary person on the surface, Su Youruo's Physique was definitely stronger than Li Daoxuan's.
Outside the delivery room, Li Daoxuan no longer had his usual composure.
He was sweating profusely from anxiety, pacing back and forth at the door.
Xiao Yu comforted him, "Young Master, don't worry, Madam will definitely be safe, mother and child safe!"
"Mm-hmm!"
"Wah!"
"Wah! Wah!"
A clear cry came, and Li Daoxuan's heart relaxed, and then... then he was directly stunned.
A crisp voice sounded in Li Daoxuan's mind.
"Ding! System activating..."
"'More Children, More Blessings' System activated successfully!"
"......"
Just as Li Daoxuan wanted to check the System's functions, a shaking pulled him back to reality.
Xiao Man said excitedly, "Young Master, why are you still standing there, hurry in, Madam has given birth!"
"Oh oh!"
Double happiness; today was definitely double happiness. Not only had he become a father, but the System he had longed for had finally come to life.
Li Daoxuan didn't pay attention to the System, then he rushed into the delivery room.
But he always felt strange in his heart; he kept wanting to ask, System, are you serious?
"Wife, how are you feeling? Is there anything uncomfortable?"
Li Daoxuan first came to the bedside to ask about Su Youruo's condition, and then he checked Su Youruo's physical condition.
Fortunately, she was just a little weak.
Su Youruo's pale face showed a happy smile, and she said, "Husband, I'm fine, the baby? Quickly show me our baby!"
At this moment, the midwife walked over, holding the baby with a smile, and said, "Congratulations to Master Li and Madam Li on your noble son!"
"Hahaha... Reward! A generous reward!"
"Xiao Yu! Take the midwife to collect the reward; everyone in the residence gets a reward!"
Li Daoxuan took the baby from the brocade quilt, lifted a corner to show Su Youruo, but then let out an exclamation:
"Oh my! It's so wrinkled and ugly!"
The delivery room fell silent, then burst into laughter.
Su Youruo rolled her eyes at Li Daoxuan and said crossly, "Silly husband! All babies are like this when they're just born!"
"Cough cough! I just haven't seen one before, it's fine if he's a little ugly!"
Su Youruo: "......"
The entire Li residence became joyful with the arrival of the new life.
All the maids curiously stepped forward to look at the Young Master. Xiao Yu returned after arranging the rewards for the residence and said,
"Young Master! Everything is arranged!"
"Oh, right! We can't call you Young Master anymore; we should call you Master now!"
Li Daoxuan was also helpless; he actually still preferred being a Young Master.
Su Youruo suddenly thought of something and quickly said, "Husband! Have you thought of a name for our child?"
Li Daoxuan scratched his head and said bashfully, "Wife, I'm terrible at naming. Why don't you pick a good name for our son!"
"Hmph! You're such an irresponsible father!"
"You must think of the child's name, and it has to be quick, and it has to be meaningful!"
Li Daoxuan scratched his head again, saying with a bitter face, "Those requirements are too high!"
"How about Li..."
