Su Xiangyi had been urging Ye Wanwan to have a child, but not because she particularly longed to hold a grandchild; she did so considering what was best for Ye Wanwan.
As for Lin Xu, Lin Xu was totally hands-off, feeling from the bottom of her heart that it was the younger generation’s business, and even if they chose not to have children, she wouldn’t say an extra word about it.
But when Zhouzhou was actually born, both Su Xiangyi and Lin Xu were over the moon with affection for him.
"Zhouzhou really does look more and more like Shen Yi," Su Xiangyi said, holding the child and sighing as she looked.
Despite the child being her daughter’s, why didn’t he resemble her daughter in the slightest?
Lin Xu laughed beside her, "Compared to Shen Yi, it’s okay. If you were to look at Shen Yi’s childhood photos, you’d see that Zhouzhou really is the spitting image of Shen Yi!"
"He doesn’t have a temperament like Wanwan at all," Su Xiangyi remarked with a sigh, seemingly feeling somewhat imbalanced in her heart.
But Su Xiangyi quickly shook her head, "As for his temperament, it’s better not to be like Wanwan. When Wanwan was just born, she must have been quite troublesome!"
"Mom!" Ye Wanwan, sitting to the side without saying a word, suddenly found herself targeted yet again, her face full of a wronged expression as she looked at Su Xiangyi.
Su Xiangyi commented, "It’s the truth, you don’t know how much of a fuss you made when you were just born, crying day and night. The neighbors next door complained so many times, your dad even had to go apologize to them particularly!"
"And when you were two or three years old, you were so mischievous. If someone was older than you, you’d poke at them until they ignored you because you were little, and then you’d cry, making it seem like they were bullying you."
"If someone was younger than you, you’d still bother them, and then when they cried, you’d cry along!"
Su Xiangyi seemed to be reminiscing about those tough years she’d had with Ye Wanwan, shaking her head uncontrollably as she spoke.
Ye Wanwan, with a dark expression, didn’t remember such small matters at all.
Lin Xu, on the other hand, was laughing nonstop, "How wonderful this is, that’s the pleasure of raising children."
Then Lin Xu began to tell Su Xiangyi, "You don’t know how quiet Shen Yi was when he was little. Otherwise, he’d just hum a couple of times when he was hungry. He could lie there all day without making a sound, as if such a child didn’t exist!"
"When I teased him, he’d just give me a cold glance and then shift his gaze away, as if he was reluctant to even give me another look!"
"When I was raising Shen Yi back then, I really didn’t have any sense of experience at all!"
Lin Xu said all this with a shake of her head, her displeasure obvious.
Ye Wanwan, listening on the side and then watching the two of them play with Zhouzhou, felt quite helpless. Is this what they call the ’special affection of grandparents’?
After watching for a while, Ye Wanwan helplessly shifted her gaze and began to send a message to Shen Yi.
Not knowing what Shen Yi was doing, Ye Wanwan’s message was replied to in no time, so she ignored both mothers and Zhouzhou, and started messaging Shen Yi.
It wasn’t until Zhouzhou began to fuss that Ye Wanwan put her phone down, went over, and picked up the baby to check if he had wet his diaper.
Confirming that Zhouzhou had not dirtied his diaper, he must have been hungry, so she said a word to both mothers and took Zhouzhou upstairs to breastfeed.
Seeing her own daughter now a mother, taking care of her own baby, Su Xiangyi couldn’t help her eyes welling up with tears, deeply moved.
