Lan Yiqing and her mother-in-law were originally trimming flower branches in the living room. Hearing a noise, the two exchanged glances, stood up, and walked over. They arrived at the doorway one after the other, and when they saw the small figure beside their son, they simultaneously widened their eyes, staring unblinkingly at Little Jia You, unwilling to shift their gaze one bit.
Amidst their shocked expressions, Lin Mubai, with a calm smile on his face, led the little one forward: "Jiayou, say hello."
"Hello, great-grandmother, hello, grandmother."
A tender boy’s voice instantly lted the hearts of the two won.
Lan Yiqing squatted down in front of Little Jia You in the next mont, full of affection: "You’re Jiayou, right?"
"Yes, beautiful grandmother." His words were sweet, and he didn’t forget to flash a bright smile.
"Haha, such a sweet mouth." An Jiayou had indeed reached Lan Yiqing’s heart. For the first ti, she felt her son had done sothing wonderful.
Amidst Lan Yiqing’s slight shyness, Little Jia You continued earnestly: "Grandma, I ant what I said. If you and Uncle Mu Bai walk out together, people would definitely think you are sisters."
"Really?" The older a woman gets, the more she likes being praised for her youth.
He nodded firmly: "Yes."
Seeing his wife and the little guy chatting happily, the old lady Zhang Qi started to feel jealous inside but could not bring herself to take the spotlight. She just had to watch with glaring eyes.
Noticing his granny’s displeasure, Lin Mubai quickly walked over to interrupt: "Mom, don’t squat here talking. Let’s go to the living room. Are grandpa and dad at ho?"
"They’re all at ho. You go find them, let Jiayou stay with and your granny." She continually held Little Jia You’s hand tightly, unwilling to let go even the slightest bit.
Everyday life at ho was sowhat dull. Her son didn’t co back often, and she always saw those few familiar faces. Now, a delightful little person had co by, bringing imdiate joy that made her unwilling to let him leave her sight for even a mont.
At this mont, Lan Yiqing also realized she had ignored her mother-in-law, lowered her head in guilt, and said to the little one she was holding: "Jiayou, go and support your great-grandmother. Let’s all go to the living room together."
"Okay, grandma." With that, Little Jia You made his way to Zhang Qi’s side: "Great-grandmother, I’ll hold you. Take it slow."
Though she wasn’t quite hobbling, as people get older, they beco like big children and enjoy being cared for.
Although Little Jia You was said to be supporting Zhang Qi, it was more like an elder and a youngster walking hand in hand.
Following behind the elder and the youngster, Lan Yiqing gave her son a reproaching look: "What’s going on? You should have given a heads-up. I haven’t prepared anything." Visits from the little guy were rare.
Lin Mubai chuckled and scratched his nose: "Mom, wasn’t I trying to surprise you and Granny? Do you like this little guy?"
Judging from his mother’s expression, he wasn’t worried about this issue, yet he still wanted to hear an unequivocal answer.
Lan Yiqing, under her son’s expectant gaze, nodded without hesitation, but was soon replaced by a sense of loss: "No matter how good, he’s still soone else’s."
Lin Mubai smiled mysteriously and gently reminded her: "Mom, once I marry An Nan, won’t this little guy be your grandson? In the future, we’ll give you a cute little granddaughter too."
