The little baby, because it was well-nourished in its mother’s body, weighed eight pounds and six ounces when it was born. Its large eyes were exceptionally dark and bright as it curiously opened its eyes.
The Old Master couldn’t put it down and the guests warmly congratulated it.
After a long while, the little fellow became disobedient in the arms of Old Master Pei and was taken over by the wet nurse. With the permission of the Old Master, the wet nurse carried the baby to Lin Xiaoran.
Lin Xiaoran seemed to be very excited as she took over the little fella. However, the moment the little fella got close to Lin Xiaoran, he suddenly started crying. His voice was so loud that it attracted everyone’s attention.
Lin Xiaoran, who was still carrying the little fella, was so angry that she wanted to throw the lump of meat in her arms onto the ground. However, in the face of everyone’s gazes, she could only smile awkwardly and carry the little fella in an awkward position.
Xiaqing looked at the crying little fellow whose cheeks were flushed red and her heart clenched. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a clear and melodious male voice behind her, “Sister Zhang, carry him up.”
“Yes.” The wet nurse hurriedly took the baby from Lin Xiaolan’s hands and gently coaxed it. However, for some reason, the little fellow couldn’t be coaxed at all. Instead, he cried more and more loudly and his breathing became unstable.
Xiaqing’s heart ached terribly. She wanted to go up but was held back by Li Suying with all her might. She threatened in a low voice, “Don’t you dare.”
Pei Zhengyang glanced in Xiaqing’s direction from the corner of his eyes and instructed the wet nurse, “Carry the child upstairs first.”
Sister Zhang didn’t dare to hesitate and carried the child upstairs under everyone’s gaze.
Xiaqing turned her hand and pinched Li Suying’s acupoints to break free from the other party’s restraints. She looked at Pei Zhengyang and said, “I’m a medical student. Can I go up with you to take care of the child?”
Lin Xiaolan and Li Suying’s eyes widened. They were flustered but also a little disdainful. What kind of family was the Pei Family? What kind of status did Young Master Pei have? How could a fatty like Lin Xiaolan get to take care of the child just because she was a medical student?
It was simply wishful thinking!
Especially after Xiaqing finished speaking, many people in the surroundings looked at them inquisitively. Lin Xiaolan’s eyes were filled with ridicule. As the ‘biological mother’ of the child, she hadn’t even introduced herself to the Pei family today. Even if she wanted to touch the child, she had to go through Old Master Pei’s acquiescence. What right did this damn fatty have?
At this moment, Lin Guofu had just returned from socializing. He just happened to hear Xiaqing’s words and berated her in a low voice, “Nonsense, who told you to come here?!”
It was as if he had been humiliated.
Xiaqing felt the ridicule from the mother and daughter, as well as the disdain in the eyes of the surrounding people. Her sense of humiliation reached its peak after hearing her father’s words, but her expression was calm. Her fat body didn’t move as she waited for Pei Zhengyang’s reply.
Pei Zhengyang paused while turning. He thought of what he had heard in Chengai hospital today. If it wasn’t for the timely and accurate first aid from Lin Xiaqing outside the hospital, the patient wouldn’t have been able to be saved. When he raised his head again, he could feel the gazes of the people around him on Xiaqing. However, the fat girl’s eyes were clear and her thin lips curled up slightly. “Ah-Hai, bring Miss Lin up.”
“Thank you, Young Master Pei,” Xia Qing replied. She ignored the whispers around her, and Li Suying and her mother’s cannibalistic gazes. She hurriedly followed the wet nurse and left the group of guests downstairs.
Old Master Pei stroked his beard thoughtfully and called for Pei Zhengyang to receive the guests.
Xiaqing followed the wet nurse up to the second floor and entered the nursery with her. She washed her hands with the baby’s disinfectant and asked with concern, “Is he hungry?”
The wet nurse placed her hand on the little guy’s mouth and tried to nod. She looked a little troubled. “I think it’s hungry.”
“Then feed him some milk.”
The wet nurse was even more troubled. “The Young Master is lactose intolerant. He doesn’t drink milk powder. I just fed him for a while. I don’t have any milk now.”
“Then go and eat something to. I’ll help you take care of him for a while.” This wet nurse didn’t have any milk, but Xiaqing had her own.
“But…” Today’s guests and the servants upstairs had gone down to help, so the wet nurse was worried.
“Young Master Pei allowed me to come up, so naturally hetrusts me. It’s not good for the child cry all the time.” Xiaqing simply brought out Pei Zhengyang.
It was indeed effective. The wet nurse struggled for a while before handing the child over to Xiaqing.
Speaking of which, the little fellow stopped crying the moment he entered Xiaqing’s arms. A pair of similar little almond-shaped eyes stared curiously at the person in front of him.
Xiaqing’s heart suddenly turned sour and soft. This was the baby she had given birth to.
