Chapter 501 The Birth of a Daughter and the New Chinese Album "Human World"

Beijing, a private hospital

After several considerations, Cao Xuan decided to let Empress Xigong give birth in the capital, mainly because if she was abroad, it would be inconvenient to take care of her at home.

In addition, as long as Cao Xuan showed his face, his popularity would not make much difference whether he was abroad or at home.

Cao Xuan had contacted this private hospital very early on, and signed an extremely strict confidentiality agreement with the hospital. The doctors and nurses were the medical team dedicated to serving Zeng Li, and they all signed relevant agreements. It is developed independently and will not be disturbed by outsiders.

When Cao Xuan rushed over, Zeng Li had already been pushed into the operating room. The old couple, Zeng Mu and Sun Lan, as well as two girlfriends, Han Mei and Yuan Quan, were waiting in the corridor outside the operating room.

Without bothering to greet them, Cao Xuan first found the nurse waiting at the door: "Didn't Professor Wu Lan say that the due date is still a week away? Why did she give birth suddenly?"

The original plan was that Cao Xuan would come back and prepare for the delivery with Zeng Li after filming these two days of filming. Unexpectedly, Empress Nishinomiya gave birth ahead of schedule, and Cao Xuan was caught off guard, so he had to make an urgent phone call on the way to comfort him.

"Mr. Cao, don't worry, this is normal. We have checked Ms. Zeng's physical condition, and it is very good. With Professor Wu here, everything will be fine."

"That's good, thank you for your hard work."

Cao Xuan thanked him repeatedly, and then he was in the mood to talk to Zeng Mu and the others, and then wandered back and forth in the corridor.

To be honest, Cao Xuan was not as nervous as he was at the Spring Festival Gala for the first time. His whole body was numb, his head was empty, and he could only keep walking.

Not long after, he walked up to Zhang Chong: "Do you have a cigarette, give me one."

Zhang Chong took out the Zhonghua in his pocket, Cao Xuan took out one, took the lighter and lit it.

Cao Xuan doesn't know how to smoke. When he was a child, he stole his uncle's cigarettes. Later, his father found out that he chased him all over the yard, and changed his smoking abruptly.

In high school, because there were many gangsters in the school, he also smoked a few times. Fortunately, he didn't have much addiction. Later, because he felt that cigarettes were too expensive, he wanted to save money and relieve his cravings, so he quit abruptly.

When he first came to the capital as a group performer, socializing on the set was all about respecting cigarettes. He smoked for a while, but he quit because of poverty.

After becoming a professional singer, he occasionally relapsed on alcohol, but Cao Xuan never smoked cigarettes.

Today, for some reason, he wanted to smoke inexplicably. He had long forgotten the smoking technique of overbreathing the lungs. He just smoked it into his mouth and spit it out. The tension is indeed much less.

The nurse next to her glanced at the [No Smoking] sign hanging in the corridor, her lips moved, but she didn't say much.

In addition to understanding Cao Xuan's psychology, it is also because most of the floor is covered by Cao Xuan, there are no other patients, and it's okay to make a mistake occasionally.

Cao Xuan smoked three cigarettes, and the placebo effect was no longer effective, so he could only continue pacing back and forth in the corridor.

Seeing the time passing by bit by bit, Cao Xuan, who couldn't bear it anymore, was about to ask about the situation, when the green light in the operating room came on.

Professor Wu, a nationally renowned gynecologist in surgical gown, took off his mask and looked at everyone with a smile.

"Congratulations, the mother and daughter are safe, and the child is very healthy."

Everyone's hanging hearts immediately fell, and Sun Lan and Zeng Mu couldn't help crying.

After Cao Xuan got approval, he went to visit Zeng Li's mother and daughter. Nishi Gong Niang Niang was resting on the bed. Cao Xuan held her hand and said with a little heartache.

"It hurts. If I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have filmed this shit scene. I almost missed it."

"It's okay. Professor Wu accompanied me all the way. It went well. Come and see our daughter. Her eyes look like yours."

Only then did Cao Xuan turn his gaze to the small bed next to him, where a baby with red skin was sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.

Cao Xuan didn't know what mood he was in right now, it was very complicated anyway, he looked at this little guy for half a minute before holding back a sentence.

"A lot of hair."

Zeng Li's head is full of black lines, but one thing to say is that his daughter does have a lot of hair.

It's pitch black, thick and dense, not like a newborn baby at all. You shouldn't have to worry about hair loss when you grow up...

The newborn baby is small, and the skin looks a little soft, like a piece of tender tofu.

Cao Xuan didn't dare to touch it, he just lay on the edge of the small bed and watched. He thought he was not a very patient person, but at this moment, he felt that he would not get tired of watching it all day and all night.

Zeng Li was not jealous either, he happily watched the first meeting between the father and daughter, Cao Xuan reluctantly left when the nurse reminded Zeng Li that it was time to rest.

For the next two days, Cao Xuan stayed in the hospital almost every step of the way. The greatest pleasure every day was watching his daughter giggle.

Occasionally seeing his daughter waking up and looking at him with open eyes, Cao Xuan was even more excited than when he won the Grammy. Sometimes when he was seen by the nurse and doctor who took care of Zeng Li's mother and daughter, he couldn't help casting weird eyes.

Dare to love the world's top superstars also have such a side of "two fools...

Cao Shuangguo, Sun Lan's old couple and Zengmu are not much better than Cao Xuan. The former is the first granddaughter, and the latter is also the first granddaughter. The two families are just... a third generation, which is rare.

However, on the third day after the daughter was born, there was still a problem before everyone.

give a name to!
In fact, neither of the two families has the habit of using nicknames. The elders in Cao Xuan’s family were called [Xuanzi], and they might have been called [Xuanxuan] when they were young, but Boss Cao didn’t recognize it.

Zeng Li is similar to him. His family and friends are called "Lizi" in homonym. Occasionally, he is called "Boss" according to his ranking at home. He had a nickname "Zeng Damei" in Chinese opera, so sometimes he is also called Damei.

Even if it is Hu Jing, the most commonly called is [Jing Jing], which can be said to be a pet name, not a nickname.

Perhaps influenced by this habit, even if Han Mi proposed to give the child a nickname such as steamed stuffed bun, dumpling, or fritters, they were ignored by the two of them.

But if you don't have a small name, you can have a big name.

At this time, I have to mention the unlucky surname of the old Cao family. It is not easy to choose a name, let alone a girl.

Cao Xuan flipped back and forth in front of the dictionary for a long time. He didn't know how many brain cells were killed, and he didn't think of a name that everyone would be satisfied with.

After being deflated by his parents, Cao Xuan sat on the sofa in the room depressed.

Although the delivery has been completed, due to safety considerations, the mother and daughter Zengli have not been discharged from the hospital for the time being.

Boss Cao is rich and powerful, so he directly renews the fee, and uses the hospital as a confinement center. After Nishigong Empress is confinement and the child has passed the most vulnerable first month, he will go home to recuperate.

It is estimated that Boss Cao did not do it alone. This hospital is equipped with a special confinement room to provide mothers and babies with the best confinement services.

At this time, Zeng Li followed the doctor's advice and exercised according to his ability, followed by a series of various beauty and maintenance programs to restore her pre-pregnancy body as soon as possible.

Although Cao Xuan didn't see any changes in Empress Xigong, Zeng Li felt that he was "fat and ugly" and had to hurry up to recover.

Seeing Cao Xuan spread out on the sofa, Zeng Li wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said with a smile, "Have you been bullied by our mother again?"

"Don't gloat, my daughter doesn't have a name, you mother is not in a hurry at all."

"I'm definitely not in a hurry. No matter what name you choose, you have to pass my test. The child has my household registration. If I don't want the name, it doesn't count."

Cao Xuan: "..."

He forgot about this, no wonder Nishigong Niang Niang was so calm.

"Forget it, let me help you find out what the names of the staff members are."

Zeng Li didn't tease her anymore, he came over and sat down to ask, took out his cell phone, pulled out his notebook, and read one by one.

"Caoberry."

"...Not to mention, it's quite cute."

"I also find it interesting. Your mother has a pear and a strawberry. Our family has no shortage of fruits, but your mother thinks it's too playful."

"anything else?"

"Cao Wan, Cao Ying, Cao Qing, Cao Cheng, Cao Xi..."

Zeng Li originally thought that he was rejected by his parents because he was unreliable, but after looking at a few names, he felt that they were all good, but each had its own strengths and could not choose.

Cao Xuan also meant the same thing, and told her the reason with his fingers: "My father thinks Cao Wan and Cao Ying are a bit ordinary; my mother Qinghecheng thinks they are boys, and they are more neutral; Cao Xi, your mother thinks it is too difficult to write, and my heart aches. granddaughter………"

The more he talked, the more desperate he became, Cao Xuan simply clapped his hands: "Why don't you just call me Cao Li, my last name is your first name, it sounds easy to remember."

"Does Li have a bad meaning? My grandma said that my name is a bad name. My parents just got divorced. Why don't you change it to Liming Li?"

"Let me check. The meanings of Li include public, black, the name of an ancient country, and a surname. It doesn't have any good meanings, but what we mainly obtain are homonyms, which is not impossible."

Cao Xuan thinks this name is good, it is taken from the surnames of his parents, which means the crystallization of love.

The key is that the mother-in-law probably has no objections, and the old couple has to give face to the son and daughter-in-law and successfully solve the problem.

Thinking about the dispute between the three old people just now, Cao Xuan felt that even if he searched the "Xinhua Dictionary", it would be enough to find a name that satisfied all the three old people, so it would be better to use a coincidence.

After agreeing with Empress Xigong, Cao Xuan rushed to find the three elders.

Sure enough, the great mother was very satisfied with the fact that her granddaughter's name had the imprint of her daughter's name, and the old couple couldn't question it anymore.

"Let's call it Li Libai, if it's not good, give it another nickname."

Cao Xuan quickly cut through the mess, if he gave them space to break it up, it would be endless.

After the name was decided, Cao Xuan was relieved, looking at the little Cao Li who was still sleeping soundly without knowing it, he suddenly thought of the Empress of the East Palace.

If the child with Donggong is still a daughter in the future, there can also be a marriage between parents, with the same pronunciation and different words-Cao Jing.

After that, when I think about my daughter, I really want to be quiet...

.........

Say East Palace, East Palace arrives.

As Nishigong Niangniang's college classmate and "best friend", Hu Jing came to see Xiao Cao Li openly, and joked about being a godmother.

The great mother didn't know why, so she laughed and booed. Sun Lan kept her face under cover, and took her home to decorate the children's room.

As for Cao Shuangguo, he was sent home by Sun Lan long ago.

His acting skills, which are considered substandard as a group performer, are not as sophisticated as Sun Lan's, maybe his mother would see something wrong.

Hu Jing lightly touched Xiao Cao Li's cheek with her finger, with a smile in her eyes: "The little one is so cute."

"That's because she's sleeping. If you don't sleep, you'll know how powerful it is."

Zeng Li complained a few words, in fact, little Cao Li is really a very well-behaved child, except for breastfeeding and sleeping, of course the main reason is that he is too young now, and he will have to worry about it in a few months.

"You are really a real mother. I started to dislike you after only a few days of birth."

"Hmph, to be precise, I started to dislike her when I was pregnant with her,"

That being said, when Xiao Cao Li started to make a fuss, she still skillfully picked her up and breastfeeding her on her back. Hu Jing raised her head and took a look.

"It's big, hey."

Zeng Li: "..."

Cao Xuan, who was drinking water next to him, almost choked to death, but Hu Jing looked at him hesitantly, her nose shrugged: "Why do you think you smell like milk?"

Cao Xuan paused, and said in a bad mood: "I stay here every day, don't I smell like milk?"

Zeng Li, who was turned on his back, had a little red face. During pregnancy and confinement, the nutrition was too rich, which resulted in sufficient granary, and the baby's appetite was small, so he couldn't eat much. Too much accumulation is not good for the health. At critical moments, only Cao Daguan Do it for me.

After all, Miss Dong didn't understand this aspect, she was deceived, she just looked enviously at Xiao Cao Li who fell asleep after eating.

"I didn't think it before. Seeing this little guy, I want to give birth to one too."

"Live."

Empress Xigong was excited, but she never thought about how Hu Jing's childbirth would affect Xiao Cao Li.

To be honest, with regard to the fund shares that Cao Xuan distributed to her, the mother and daughter will not worry about money in this life. For this sake, money is just a number.

Besides, based on her understanding of Cao Xuan, no matter when, Cao Li will never be missing.

There is no need to worry about property, Zeng Li also gave up marriage a long time ago, and now that she has a child, even Cao Xuan's importance in her heart may be a row behind.

Coupled with the deformed family relationship between her and the Empress of the East Palace in the past two years, she really hoped that Hu Jing would also have one.

Firstly, my daughter has a companion, and secondly, pregnancy is too hard, and I can’t bear this sin alone...

Zeng Li kept persuading her, but Hu Jing really hesitated. She had thought about having a child with Cao Xuan in the past two years, but she couldn't make up her mind because she always felt that she was not ready to be a mother.

Seeing Xiao Cao Li today was exciting for her. Although she hadn't made an immediate decision, the balance in her heart was a little tilted.

Cao Xuan let the two chat, and went to see his daughter sleeping.

Now he feels that he is a bit of a child slave, and he has completely forgotten about "Three Kingdoms: Chibi". He really wants the crew to change roles and take care of the children at home.

Unfortunately, this wish could not come true. After he asked for leave for 5 days, the crew called here eight times a day, and even Han Sanye asked about the situation.

The entire crew has invested hundreds of millions of dollars, and thousands of cast and crew members are waiting for him to film. It's okay to ask for leave occasionally, but not to show up all the time.

No way, no matter how reluctant, Cao Xuan has to return to the "Three Kingdoms: Red Cliff" crew to film.

Fortunately, Fanxing Film and Television City is not too far from the capital. From the filming base to the hospital, if you drive fast, it will take 5 hours to go back and forth.

It is definitely impossible to go back and forth every day, but it is not a problem to adjust the schedule and shooting time a week, and come back two or three times to have a look.

Of course, the premise of this is that the boss Cao Xuan and the producer have the ability to ask the director to change his shooting time and squeeze out the time to go back to Beijing to visit every week, otherwise he can only chat via video.

Going back and forth will inevitably take up Cao Xuan's original rest time. He must be tired, but his spirit is joyful. Especially seeing the "toothless smile" of his precious daughter, Cao Xuan has no fatigue at all.

If it weren't for the need to keep filming, and the conditions really didn't allow it, Cao Xuan could really go all out and commute to work every day.

Fanxing Film and Television City has been under construction for many years, and this is the first time Cao Xuan regrets putting it in Baiyangdian. If it is placed in the suburbs of Beijing, there is no need to think about such entanglements...

.........

Xiao Cao Li was born in the early hours of June 2007, 6, which is the International Children's Day, so you can enjoy two joys on the same day.

Nishigong Niangniang was also officially discharged from the hospital at the end of June and returned to Changping Villa. On July 6st, she held a full moon banquet for her child to celebrate a little.

It was said to be a full moon banquet, but actually not many people were invited, except for Han Mei and Yuan Quan, most of them were family members, and they had a private gathering.

It is worth mentioning that the father of Cao Xuan's cheap father-in-law, Zeng Li, and his sister-in-law, Zeng Yu, both came from abroad to visit their granddaughter/niece.

This was the first time Cao Xuan saw his great-grandfather, he was very handsome, and I heard that he was a well-known handsome guy in the local area in his early years, and because of this, he took down his great-looking great-grandmother.

After going abroad, it is said that the first bucket of gold has something to do with a certain rich American woman.

Of course, this is Zeng's mother's statement, and its authenticity is doubtful. The couple had a very unhappy divorce at the beginning, and after the divorce, they have never been in touch with each other, and their relationship is very bad.

However, Zeng's mother was very particular about not blocking the two daughters from contacting with Zeng's father, and the father and daughter had a good relationship.

Because of this, Cao Xuan respected his father-in-law very much, and his great-grandfather also had a good impression of him. During the meal, Cao Shuangguo and Cao Shuangguo praised Cao Xuan for being popular in the United States, and made them face the Chinese.

However, due to the bad relationship with Zeng's mother, Zeng's father didn't stay here for long, and planned to go back after staying for two days.

Before leaving, he specially gave Zeng Li a document bag in front of Cao Xuan, and when he opened it, it was a will in both Chinese and English.

The old man has worked hard in the United States for many years, and has saved some property. A machinery factory, two houses in the United States, a farm in the suburbs, and several other assets are worth several million dollars.

In his will, his great father divided the money into three shares, one for Zeng Li, one for Zeng Yu, and one for his new wife in the United States.

Looking at the document in his hand, Zeng Li was dumbfounded, and Cao Xuan was also a little confused. After a long time, he tentatively asked, "Dad, are you okay?"

The old man must have suffered from some terminal illness, so he specifically explained the funeral.

When my great father heard this, he rolled his eyes: "The physical examination I just had last month is fine."

After all, he pointedly said: "Dad knows, this money is not too much, your father has so much ability, and you can keep it at the bottom of the box if you are lucky. No matter when you have these things, you and Li Li can get together." The two of you have a way out."

"Dad~"

Empress Xigong was particularly moved, while Cao Xuan touched her nose in embarrassment. He knew that the old man wanted him.

No matter what conflicts between great father and great mother, there must be a united front in dealing with children.

It is estimated that Zeng mother told Zeng father a lot of what she had inquired about, so Zeng father made such a move, just to beat Cao Xuan and tell him that Zeng Li was protected by her mother's family.

It doesn't matter the amount of inheritance, the key is the attitude!

Cao Xuan personally sent the old man to the airport. Before parting, he couldn't help but express his opinion seriously: "...Dad, don't worry, the escape route you arranged for Lizi will never be used."

Zengfu glanced at him, did not speak, patted his shoulder, and walked away.

The sister-in-law didn't leave, and even took a long vacation with her unit to accompany her sister and mother.

I heard that she fell in love with an English classmate, and now she is talking about marriage. Zeng Mu and Zeng Li are very concerned.

Especially Zeng Mu, who was very worried.

The eldest daughter has no name and no role, and there may be other troubles, but fortunately, the young couple has a harmonious relationship, and the elders in the family are easy to get along with. Now that she has a child as a relationship and emotional bond, most of her heart has been relieved.

The result has not stopped for two days, and the little girl is planning to marry abroad again. The sky is high and the road is far away. She hasn't seen her once in a few years, and even if she is bullied, she can't rush to help.

Zeng Mu lamented that she had committed crimes in her previous life, and in this life she had two debt collectors.

However, Cao Xuan was very happy, because his outstanding performance during this period made him gain a lot of impression points in the eyes of Zeng Mu.

Now, compared with the foreign devil in the eyes of Zeng Mu who lied to her daughter to marry far away, the old mother-in-law felt that Cao Xuan still had a lot of merits, and her attitude was much more relaxed.

Although a bit immoral, Cao Xuan still wants to thank this brother-in-law, and hopes that the other party will continue to work hard...

.........

In July, although Cao Xuan is still running between the production team and the Changping Villa, there are still new legends about him.

Cao Xuan's No. 11 album, which is also the seventh Chinese album "Human World", was launched in early July.

Compared with the past, this album is really very low-key, even because Cao Xuan was busy filming and watching children, he didn't even participate in basic promotional activities.

From the time the album hit the charts to its launch, he only promoted it on his blog, and then recorded a few videos in cooperation. There were almost no announcements that the singer himself attended the promotion.

If you change to another singer and dare to play like this when they release a new album, it's too early to be cool.

But Cao Xuan really couldn't judge it with common sense.

Even if he doesn't show up, even if he doesn't participate in any activities, but with the words [Cao Xuan's new album], he still attracts the attention of countless fans and passers-by.

Others playing like this is called mentally ill, but Cao Xuan's operation like this, the media and fans advocated that this is "this is the self-confidence of the world's king".

Dissatisfied?

Not convinced, you also get 12 Grammys.

If you don't accept it, the sales of your original album have also rushed into the billion-level club.

Not convinced, you are also holding a concert tour with 200 million people around the world.

A series of madness made most people shut up, but there were still some hard-headed people who still questioned, but as the album was officially launched, their voices disappeared immediately.

On July 7th, after two songs hit the charts, the album "Human World" was officially released globally.

In just one day, the original sales exceeded 100 million+ (including some pre-sale data).

What's even more frightening is that nearly half of the first-day sales of more than 100 million copies came from abroad.

Some of them are Chinese, but most of them are Cao Xuan’s fans all over the world. They don’t care if it is an English or Chinese album, as long as it is Cao Xuan’s song, they will buy it.

If you don't understand Chinese, then listen to the melody!
After several years, after "Legend" became a god, Cao Xuan relied on his own influence to bring Chinese songs out of the circle around the world.

Even if this "out of the circle" is more among his fans, who can deny that this is not a kind of success...
