Chapter 445 Preparing for the Future Succession Struggle [2-in-1, Please Subscribe]
Summer days are long, so by 6:30, Bae Joo-hyun had already finished washing up and was ready to go downstairs for her workout.
After more than a month of training, Bae Joo-hyun and Jessica Jung have basically recovered their figures. However, Bae Joo-hyun has developed a habit of exercising, so she gets up very early every day.
However, before going downstairs to exercise, she wanted to see her son in the nursery.
ah~
Kang Kang and Xiao Wu, two babies, live in the same nursery. They are only two and a half months old and sleep for fifteen or sixteen hours a day, sleeping for two to four hours at a time, several times a day.
At that moment, both babies were fast asleep. Because she didn't want to disturb her sons' sleep, Bae Joo-hyun didn't go into the nursery. Instead, she watched her sons through the security camera in the adjacent duty room, then instructed the on-duty nurse and maid to take good care of the two children.
There are nine nurses and maids in total who are responsible for taking care of Kang Kang and Xiao Wu. They are all around forty years old, have many years of experience in taking care of infants, and come from respectable families. They are also very tight-lipped.
The nine people were divided into three groups, working in three shifts to take care of the two children.
The team leader on duty in the duty room was a slightly plump woman. Upon hearing Bae Joo-hyun's instructions, she immediately bowed to Bae Joo-hyun with a smile and said, "Please rest assured, Madam, we will do our best to take good care of the two young masters."
At home, the servants all addressed Li Zhixuan as "Chairman". As for his women, those who were pregnant or had given birth were called "Madam", and those who were not pregnant were called "Miss".
However, An'an was born, and she is now the only young lady in the family. Therefore, Li Zhixuan's women will be collectively referred to as "Madam So-and-so" by the servants at home from now on.
After giving the instructions, Bae Joo-hyun wanted to go to the gym.
Seeing this, the group leader quickly said, "Madam, please wait a moment. The chairman has prepared breakfast for you, Mrs. Jessica, Mrs. Baolan, and Mrs. Suyan. He instructed me to call you to eat as soon as possible if you or Mrs. Jessica come to see the children, because the food will not taste good if it gets cold."
Hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun was taken aback: "He got up so early?"
The whole family knows that Li Zhixuan ran ten laps around the hospital the day before yesterday, and they also know that he couldn't get out of bed yesterday morning because of lactic acid buildup.
To be honest, Bae Joo-hyun felt extremely sorry for Lee Chi-hyun, but she was worried that Im Yoon-ah would be jealous or dissatisfied, so she didn't dare to go to the hospital to take care of him.
After all, people's hearts are complex.
Li Zhixuan runs laps for his children, but to be precise, for his children with Lin Yoona.
So, Li Zhixuan ran laps like crazy for his and Lin Yun'er's children, and ended up bedridden the next day.
At this time, Bae Joo-hyun went to the hospital to take care of Lee Chi-hyun. Will Lim Yoon-ah overthink it?
Oh! I just had a baby and it's inconvenient for me to take care of him, so you come here to curry favor, huh? Are you trying to show off?
It wasn't that Bae Joo-hyun was deliberately thinking the worst of Im Yoon-ah; rather, Bae Joo-hyun knew that women are often uncomfortable after giving birth and tend to overthink things.
In addition, Zhuangzhuang and An'an are still sick, so how could Lin Yoona be in a good mood? What should have been a normal thing might have caused her to explode with emotion.
Therefore, for the sake of family harmony, Bae Joo-hyun chose to contact and care for her man online.
Last night, Li Zhixuan came back. Although he could walk and move around and chatted and laughed with them, Pei Zhuxuan could tell that Li Zhixuan's body had not fully recovered.
In addition, Li Zhixuan was entangled by Park Min-young and Lee Qri, two "fierce warriors," last night. It's a miracle he was able to get out of bed this morning.
He can actually get up early? And even get up early to cook?!
Bae Joo-hyun was very surprised by her man's physical abilities; he was truly extraordinary!
"The president went out after making breakfast."
"He came to see the two children?"
"I've seen it. When the chairman arrived, the two young masters were awake. He held them and stayed with them for a while before leaving."
"Well, I see."
Knowing that Li Zhixuan had feelings for more than just Zhuangzhuang and An'an, Pei Zhuxuan felt much happier.
Actually, Bae Joo-hyun's mindset has changed somewhat since she gave birth.
Before they had children, she was one of the "three giants," meaning one of Li Zhixuan's three most favored women. The other two were Lin Yoona and Park Hyomin.
Later, Park Hyomin took a more relaxed approach and didn't want to compete with her and Im Yoon-ah for the position of Lee Ji-hyun's wife. Since her relationship with Im Yoon-ah was exceptionally good, the two of them couldn't really compete, so they all got along harmoniously. Eventually, Bae Joo-hyun felt the situation was fine and didn't want to fight anymore.
But ever since she had her child, she felt she still had to fight for it, not for herself, but for her child.
Although the Li family is large and powerful, it can't withstand the winner-takes-all mentality.
Li Zhengxian's generation originally consisted of three brothers, but now only Li Zhengxian is still alive.
Li Zhixuan's generation still consists of three brothers, but Li Zhengxian is still alive, and Li Zhiwu dared to have someone poison the pregnant Zheng Xiuyan.
Upon discovering this, Li Zhixuan immediately ordered his men to stage a car accident that broke Li Zhiwu's legs.
Li Zhengxian was still alive, but the brothers were already on the verge of a life-or-death struggle.
If Li Zhengxian dies someday, will Li Zhiwu and Li Zhiwen survive the seventh day after Li Zhengxian's death?
It is foreseeable that Li Zhixuan will have many children, at least around thirty.
Will so many children fight over each other when they grow up? How complicated and tragic will that situation become in the future? Bae Joo-hyun's son, Kang Kang, is the eldest son.
If Kang Kang doesn't have that ambition in the future, that's fine. But if he does want to take that position, as Li Zhixuan's eldest son, he will definitely gain the support of some people, but there will also be people who see him as a thorn in their side.
How is this any different from the power struggles among princes depicted in TV dramas? It's bound to be a bloodbath.
Just thinking about it terrified Bae Joo-hyun. Although Kang Kang was only a little over two months old, it was time to prepare for the future.
Fortunately, the children are still young, and there are only six children in total, so there is plenty of time to prepare.
Meanwhile, Li Zhixuan arrived outside the hospital's special ward at seven in the morning.
After changing into his protective suit, he went inside to visit his two children.
The two children seemed to be in good spirits. The little girl, An'an, was sleeping, while the little boy, Zhuangzhuang, was awake and even giggled when he saw Li Zhixuan arrive.
A baby less than two months old already recognizes his/her father?
This kid is so lovable!
After playing with the children for a while, and until Zhuangzhuang finally fell asleep, Li Zhixuan and the doctor came to the outside of the ward.
Then, while taking off his protective suit, Li Zhixuan asked with some concern, "Doctor, are these babies really able to handle antibiotics? Will there be any side effects?"
Neonatal sepsis is caused by bacterial infection, so antibiotics are naturally used to kill the bacteria.
Previously, Li Zhixuan's only wish was for his two children to survive, but now that they have passed the critical period, he naturally hopes that they will be healthy in all aspects.
The doctor immediately bowed and replied, "Please rest assured, our dosage is quite conservative, and we are constantly monitoring Young Master Zhuangzhuang and Miss An'an's condition. Currently, the dosage appears to be safe, and both Young Master Zhuangzhuang and Miss An'an will be fine." "That's good. I trust you, thank you."
"You don't need to do that. Taking good care of the patient is my duty."
As he spoke, Li Zhixuan waved to his bodyguard, who immediately brought over two bags of breakfast and handed them to the doctor. Each bag contained four disposable lunch boxes.
"I brought you breakfast, which I made myself. Eat it while it's hot."
Huh? You made it by hand?
Who is Li Zhixuan?
The heir to South Korea's top conglomerate!
The doctor was immediately flattered and bowed deeply, saying, "Thank you so much, you've gone to so much trouble, I...I..."
Seeing that the doctor was so excited that he was almost stuttering, Li Zhixuan didn't understand and thought: Is it really that big of a deal?
On the surface, he quickly helped the doctor up and said with a reassuring smile, "Don't mention that. I should thank you for saving my son and daughter. And I need you to take good care of Zhuangzhuang and An'an for me. Please."
After speaking, Li Zhixuan bowed deeply to the doctor.
Seeing this, the doctor was both touched and nervous. He quickly returned the greeting with breakfast in hand: "Don't worry, I will do my best! I will make sure the young master and young lady recover soon!"
After seeing the children, it's time to see their mother.
Li Zhixuan carefully pushed open Lin Yun'er's door with breakfast in hand, and found her sitting on the bed watching a tablet.
"Awake? Are you feeling better? Does it still hurt?"
"Waaah~ I'm so sorry~"
"what?"
Why are you crying the moment we meet? Li Zhixuan was completely bewildered. He quickly put down his breakfast, sat down next to Lin Yun'er, and hugged her, comforting her, "Okay, okay, don't cry. What's there to apologize for? I'm perfectly fine, aren't I? Why are you apologizing again?"
At this point, Li Zhixuan paused, then looked at his wife with disbelief and asked, "Aren't Zhuangzhuang and An'an mine?"
"Huh?" Im Yoona was also taken aback, then angrily raised her hand and slapped him on the head: "Smack!"
"What nonsense are you talking about? Zhuangzhuang and An'an are of course yours! Do I have any other men besides you?!"
"Hi~"
Li Zhixuan winced in pain, then rubbed his head and asked in confusion, "Then why are you crying and apologizing to me? What did you do to offend me?"
Mentioning this, Lim Yoona's eyes reddened again, and she explained, "I just watched the surveillance footage and saw you bowing to the doctors and nurses."
It's all my fault. I must have done something wrong that caused Zhuangzhuang and An'an to get infected with bacteria and develop sepsis.
If I had been more careful, they wouldn't have gotten sick. If they hadn't gotten sick, you wouldn't have been fooled by charlatans and wouldn't have had to be subservient to doctors and nurses.
"Hey!" Li Zhixuan laughed, gave Lin Yun'er a quick kiss, and explained, "Who would dare make me lower myself? Even if they had two lives, they wouldn't dare. I was genuinely grateful. Neonatal sepsis has such a high mortality rate, and they saved our two children. Isn't it only right that I bow to them?"
As for you saying that both children's illnesses are your fault, isn't that complete nonsense? There are several causes of neonatal sepsis; how do you know it's related to you? What's past is past; stop overthinking. You'd be better off thinking about what to do if your breast milk supply isn't enough.”
"Uh……"
Upon hearing Li Zhixuan's last words, Lin Yoona's expression visibly turned awkward.
Breastfeeding is the best and most scientific method for babies. Kang Kang and Xiao Wudun drink breast milk every day.
Kang Kang has two medium-sized granaries, and Xiao Wu has two large granaries. They are facing a situation where supply exceeds demand, and they can't finish drinking their food every day.
Zhuangzhuang and An'an, however, were not as fortunate as their older brothers.
There were only two small granaries to begin with, and the brother and sister had to divide them equally. This made their already meager grain reserves even worse.
To be precise, there were no reserves at all.
Production simply couldn't keep up with demand, so they had to eat a combination of breast milk and formula to keep them fed and fight off the disease.
Now that Li Zhixuan brings this up, how can Lin Yoona not feel embarrassed?
Im Yoona then pouted and complained, "I didn't want to either. My sister made me drink three bowls of crucian carp soup yesterday, saying it would help with lactation. I almost threw up from drinking it, but I didn't see any milk."
Li Zhixuan sighed, "Sigh! Our cafeteria is small, and its supply capacity is limited. There's nothing we can do. If all else fails, we'll just have to drink milk powder. Huh?!"
As he spoke, his eyes suddenly lit up.
Seeing this, Lim Yoona quickly asked, "What did you think of?"
Li Zhixuan said, "You can't supply enough here, and Xiuyan and Zhuxuan have too much to use for watering their flowers, so why not just use Zhuangzhuang and An'an's milk? Isn't that breast milk too?"
Upon hearing this, Yoona's eyes lit up, but she quickly waved her hand and said seriously, "No, no! My children can't grow up drinking someone else's milk. I'd rather they drink formula."
"why not?"
Li Zhixuan was puzzled and retorted, "In ancient times, wealthy families and the palace would hire wet nurses for their children. You have free wet nurses now, why not use them? Are you afraid that your child will not be close to you if he drinks their milk? Isn't that just overthinking things?"
"No!" Yoona quickly explained, "I just don't want to owe them favors."
Li Zhixuan smiled helplessly: "You owe someone a favor just because you drank some milk? It's too easy to owe someone a favor. You're really overthinking it. Anyway, they have more than they can finish, so giving some to Zhuangzhuang and An'an will save them from wasting it."
To avoid waste?
Hearing this, Lim Yoona frowned and said uncertainly, "From what you're saying, it sounds like you want to use our An'an and Zhuangzhuang to clean up kitchen waste?"
"If they don't clean, do you expect me to? How can I possibly drink all that? It's time for these two siblings to show their filial piety!"
Justified and confident!
"Hey! I'm going to beat you to death, you unreliable dad!"
"Don't call me 'Dad,' call me 'Papa'!" (End of Chapter)
