Chapter 533: Chapter 533: Father and Son Vying for Favor
"Wah!"
This cry was very timely.
Little Ao Jue, who had been sleeping in the crib, woke up.
Usually, newborns like him do nothing but eat, sleep, and cry.
And once they start crying, it can be quite intense.
"Wah wah!"
"Wah!"
"Wah... wah!"
Looking at someone’s playful eyes, Shen Cheng glanced meaningfully at the position of the crib and then said, "Your son is crying, aren’t you going to soothe him?"
Shi Yu’s gaze immediately became icy, and his thin lips parted slightly to emit two words: "Not going."
"Wah!"
As if complaining about his father’s heartlessness and coldness, Xiao Ao Jue cried even louder.
"Wah..."
"Babies might suffocate when they cry too hard."
Shen Cheng had hardly finished speaking when the man beside her already stood up.
He just couldn’t bring himself to ignore it after all.
Shi Yu walked over to the crib with a cold expression on his face. He pinched the little face and then bent down to pick up Xiao Ao Jue.
Though his movements weren’t exactly gentle, they were slow and careful.
This was the first time since his birth that the little tyke was held by his father.
Strangely enough, as soon as Shi Yu picked him up, before even soothing him, the baby quieted down on his own and stopped crying.
With a pair of bright eyes, he looked at a man whose complexion wasn’t great but had no trace of malice in his eyes.
And at that moment, Little Tian Jue in Shen Cheng’s arms also calmed down.
He snuggled comfortably against Shen Cheng’s chest, latched on, and began to suckle...
While feeding, he made little smacking sounds.
Shi Yu’s face turned dark at the sound, his gaze growing colder, more dangerous.
Shen Cheng had handed her over to a servant just for a few minutes, to feed her formula because there wasn’t enough milk; she had to let her feed only halfway full before switching to the other child.
When Shen Cheng reached out to take the baby from Shi Yu’s arms, he didn’t let go and frowned coldly, "No gesture?"
Really, this man...
Shen Cheng tiptoed and kissed his cheek, then said: "Is that okay now?"
"No."
Shi Yu said, leaning in slightly, signaling her to kiss his lips.
Shen Cheng: "..."
Despite being slightly displeased, she still leaned in and left a kiss on his lips.
Only then did Shi Yu pass the child over to her.
Shen Cheng sat down to feed the baby, while Shi Yu turned and strode out of the room.
He stopped at the door, looking back at her: "Go back to the room and sleep after you’ve fed them. I’ll sleep in the study tonight."
Shen Cheng knew he had too much work to do, so she didn’t want to argue with him.
"Mm, got it."
After feeding the milk and watching both children drink some water, Shen Cheng planned to return to her room to rest.
Passing by the study, she opened the door and took a glance inside.
In the room, Shi Yu sat in front of the desk, concentrated on reviewing documents.
His brows were furrowed, showing signs of fatigue.
Shen Cheng closed the door, went downstairs to make a cup of coffee herself, and asked a servant to bring it to the study.
When the servant brought the coffee to the study, Shi Yu didn’t even lift his head.
"Take it away."
The servant paused upon hearing this, then said, "The coffee was freshly made by the Young Madam."
Upon hearing this, Shi Yu finally stopped his work and looked up at the tray of coffee in the servant’s hand.
"Put it down."
His voice was still cold, devoid of any warmth.
The servant took the coffee out of the tray, placed it on the desk, and carefully exited the study.
As soon as the door was closed, Shi Yu picked up the coffee and took a sip.
His lips curved up slightly.
