785  Am I That Scary?

Finally, the baby reached one month old, and Shu Pan felt like she was about to grow moldy.

On this day, the baby boy also got his official name, Gu Kang, meaning forever healthy, and his nickname was Gu Xiaobao. His sister Joy also changed her surname to Gu and was now called Gu Joy.

The one-month celebration was an important event, and many relatives and friends came to celebrate.

"Sis, I'm sorry I couldn't make it back in time. I was filming out of town," Gu Huanhuan apologized, feeling a bit embarrassed. The birth of the baby was a major event for their family, but due to her filming schedule, she hadn't been able to return until today, the baby's one-month celebration.

"It's okay, your work is important. Besides, the baby is already born. Anytime you come to see him is fine," Shu Pan smiled, thinking what a silly girl she was.

"As long as you're not mad at me. I brought a gift for Xiaobao," Gu Huanhuan said as she took out a delicate longevity lock from her bag. It was so exquisite and lovable.

"Must have cost you a lot," Shu Pan said with a helpless expression.

Gu Huanhuan shook her head with a smile, then she played with Xiaobao. Because there were many people visiting today, Gu Huanhuan only managed to approach him for a while, and unexpectedly, Xiaobao started crying loudly, not giving her face.

Gu Huanhuan didn't know what to do and quickly took out a rattle, shaking it in front of Xiaobao, but the more she shook it, the louder he cried.

"What's wrong?" Shu Pan came over, feeling puzzled. Xiaobao rarely cried unless he needed a diaper change, but she checked, and his diaper was still dry.

"I just pinched his little cheeks, touched his little hands, and kissed him lightly. I didn't use much force," Gu Huanhuan said innocently. "Do I look that scary? Clearly, I'm a soft and lovely young girl."

Shu Pan smiled and said, "Maybe he's just a bit shy seeing you for the first time. He'll get used to you after seeing you more often."

Then she picked up the rattle and shook it in front of Xiaobao, who miraculously stopped crying.

Gu Huanhuan felt frustrated. "Why does he laugh when you shake it, but cry when I do? It's so disheartening."

"Because I see him every day, and he recognizes me as his mommy," Shu Pan patiently explained. n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I guess I'll need to show up more often," Gu Huanhuan said, clearly annoyed.

"Show up in front of whom?" Gu Shaoting asked, catching the tail end of her sentence.

"In front of your son! He's totally disrespecting me," Gu Huanhuan replied with a pout.

"Don't lead my Xiaobao astray. Where have you been off to this time? You've been away for so long," Gu Shaoting teased, treating her filming as nothing more than some casual fun.

"Oh, come on! I was filming. Sis, look at how he talks to me," Gu Huanhuan complained, knowing Shu Pan was her ally.

"Yes, Huanhuan's films are quite good," Shu Pan defended her.

"I knew my cousin-in-law would appreciate it, unlike some people," Gu Huanhuan said pointedly, casting a sidelong glance at Gu Shaoting before giving them some space.

"This girl..." Gu Shaoting chuckled helplessly. "So, how are you holding up? Is Xiaobao ready to nap again?"

"I'm not tired. Xiaobao is quite lively today; he probably knows it's his special day," Shu Pan replied, leaning gently against Gu Shaoting.

"You've done well," Gu Shaoting said softly, wrapping an arm around her and placing a gentle kiss on her forehead.

"There are still a lot of relatives and friends outside. We should go and greet them properly," Shu Pan said, straightening up and urging him.

"Don't worry, Mom's got everything under control," Gu Shaoting reassured her. Indeed, Song Can had taken care of all the social arrangements impeccably, leaving Shu Pan free from worry.
