Chapter 1986: Chapter 1987: A Quick Change of Address
The people inside are having an internal conflict.
Little Baby knows exactly how to please the elders. He leans on the door and uses a soft voice to whine, "Grandma, grandma, Duidui is so tired standing here."
"..."
"Does Grandma not want me anymore?"
"..."
Jiang Chenyue gritted her teeth inside the room and cursed, "That Li Shengxiao!"
But the body was very honest, from the moment Little Baby knocked on the door to when he started whining, it didn’t even take three minutes before she opened the door, came out with a stern face, "You even use children! Unbelievable!"
Li Duidui grabbed her sleeve with one hand, looked at her timidly, and said softly, "Grandma, are you angry? Please don’t be angry, okay? It’s all my fault."
His fair little face resembles Li Shengxiao’s, except he inherited Rong Yan’s eyes. Beneath his thin eyelids were a pair of bright black eyes, impossible to reject. Jiang Chenyue’s anger subsided immediately after one look at him; she sighed and picked him up, "How could Grandma bear to be angry with you? If I’m angry, it’s with your dad. He’s simply..."
Simply a scoundrel!
She couldn’t finish the sentence in front of Little Baby, but her daggered gaze nearly chopped the tall, handsome man into pieces!
She’s furious!
Li Duidui extended his short arms to hug her neck and rested his head on her shoulder, softly cooing, "Grandma, don’t be angry. I can’t bear for Grandma to be angry. If Grandma is angry, I’ll be sad too... Grandma, please don’t be angry, okay?"
His small hands encircled her neck, childishly comforting her, hugging her neck one moment and then pretending to pat her back as if to soothe her.
Even an enormous rage within Jiang Chenyue calmed down.
But looking at the vast crowd in front still made her unhappy, especially the man standing at the front; she maintained her displeased expression, unwilling to show them any kindness.
Cui Jiangjing nudged him from behind with her elbow and whispered, "The door is open, Little Yan Rong is inside, but you’ve angered the mother-in-law; how are you going to take her away?"
Li Shengxiao’s eyes, glimmering with something, stepped forward briskly.
His tall stature and long legs meant he reached Jiang Chenyue in just a few strides.
"Hmph!" Jiang Chenyue, caught off guard, was secretly fuming; she immediately made a cold snort and turned her head away, refusing to even look at him.
Li Shengxiao raised his eyebrows, his figure in a neat suit exuding unmatched poise, calmly reaching out to Jiang Chenyue, steadily saying, "Duidui, you’re too heavy. Your Grandma isn’t feeling well, come here, I’ll hold you."
Little Baby, who got named, didn’t want to be picked up by the ’neighbor,’ but upon hearing that Jiang Chenyue wasn’t well, hesitated for a moment before reaching out for the man to hold him.
Li Shengxiao did not carry him; after pulling him close, he placed him on the ground. Little Baby didn’t want to be held by him either; after he landed, he stood obediently beside him, his eyes continuously glancing into the room.
Jiang Chenyue’s hand felt lighter and simultaneously very empty. She turned to look at him, pursing her lips, seemingly trying to see what trick he was planning.
"Mom."
Her entire body stiffened, hearing this genuine call, and she was momentarily stunned, "You..."
She hadn’t agreed to hand her daughter over to him, yet he randomly called her mom.
Yet inexplicably, a myriad of emotions surged within her heart, both bittersweet and fulfilling. It felt as though her long search for her daughter had suddenly come to a resolution!
