The Chu family residence.
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting were playing Go when they saw Chu Yichen enter, carrying a little girl in his arms. Bai Dong was so shocked that the chess piece she was holding fell to the ground.
In the past, her son despised children and thought that they were troublesome. But now, he was carrying a child in his arms.
“Son, whose child is that in your arms?” she asked hesitantly.
“Yeah, whose child is it?” Chu Zhenting also spoke, his heart filled with anticipation. He wondered if it was because of his wife’s constant lament, but he had started yearning for a grandchild. After all, they were feeling bored.
Chu Yichen instructed the servant beside him in a low voice, “Go upstairs and prepare a child’s room.”
The servant hurriedly went upstairs. There were ready rooms for children as Madam had long been looking forward to a grandchild. There was a room for a girl and one for a boy. Once tidied up, they were ready to be occupied.
Chu Yichen sat on the sofa with Baobao in his arms.
Hearing Bai Dong’s voice, Li Baobao looked up from Chu Yichen’s arms. “Grandma, I’m Baobao!” She said cutely and even smiled.
Bai Dong was surprised. It was actually the little girl they saw the other time.
She was too cute.
“Daddy, Baobao is thirsty.” Baobao seemed sickly and listless. She nestled in Chu Yichen’s arms obediently.
Chu Yichen got the servant to pour a glass of warm water, helped Baobao up and fed her in small mouthfuls.
After drinking the water, Li Baobao gradually fell asleep again. Her face was flushed red, and her lips were curled up. She was extremely cute.
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting gaped in shock. Had they misheard? This girl called their son “Daddy”.
Since when did they have such a grown up granddaughter?
Chu Yichen ignored their shocked expression. Seeing that the child had fallen asleep by the time the servant informed that the child’s room was ready, he carried Baobao upstairs. Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting hurriedly followed.
In the pink bedroom, Chu Yichen bent down and placed the child on the small bed. He carefully took off her shoes, covered her with a thin blanket and adjusted the temperature in the room. After looking at her for a long time and making sure that the child was asleep, he walked out of the room.
Bai Dong and Chu Yucheng followed him quietly. They were already extremely
anxious.
Chu Yichen turned around at the top of the stairs. “I wish to adopt this child!”
Bai Dong and Chu Zhenting were disappointed when they heard the word ‘adopt’. So the child did not belong to their son. But almost at once, they were happy again, for they were very fond of this child. This must be pre-destined.
“Alright, if you like her, just adopt her. We can afford it anyway!” Bai Dong was overjoyed. From now on, the house would be lively, with the addition of a little one. Speaking of which, she had even dreamed of this little one. It was too fated. From now on, she was her grandmother!
Chu Zhenting was rather happy too. He had liked this little girl the first time he saw her. Who would have guessed at that time that she’d become his granddaughter one day?
Long Ting entered the house. Because of Li An’an’s matter, he had not dared to make an appearance all day. To his great surprise, the moment he entered, he found his aunt’s household in a festive mood.
“Adopt who?” Long Ting was curious. He didn’t hear clearly what was being said as he was entering the house.
Bai Dong walked down the stairs with a smile. “Your cousin is going to adopt a child by the name of Li Baobao. I quite like her. I saw her once before, and I was very fond of her. From now on, she’s my granddaughter. Hubby, come over quickly. Let’s pick out some clothes and toys for our granddaughter, and some floral hairbands, things like that.”
Bai Dong was overjoyed. Previously, she had wanted a daughter whom she could dress up prettily. Alas, she ended up with a son who became a source of many headaches for her. Now, her wish was finally fulfilled.
Chu Zhenting did as he was asked, and accompanied his wife to select those daily necessities for his granddaughter..
