Chapter 1150: Truly the Center of Everyone’s Affection
Unless you’re holding her for too long, making the little one uncomfortable or dissatisfied, she usually won’t fuss.
The rest of the time, she’s quite easy to care for.
Ye Xinluo stood by the crib looking at the little one, who also opened her eyes to look at her. After a while, Ling Ge suddenly waved her hand, indicating she wanted to be held.
She took the little one out of the crib and checked her diaper, which was dry. Smiling slightly, she couldn’t help but notice that Beichen Rui had some qualities of a novice dad.
Mr. Bei Chen heard that his granddaughter-in-law had given birth, so he came over early in the morning. When he saw Ye Xinluo holding the baby and coming downstairs, he immediately frowned and reprimanded, "Why aren’t you staying in your room during the postpartum period? What are you doing out here? If you don’t take good care during this period, it could leave you with lasting health issues. Hand the baby over to me and quickly go back to your room to rest."
Ye Xinluo was "sent" back to her room, and Mr. Bei Chen sat on the sofa in the living room holding Ling Ge. His slightly weathered face was full of smiles, "Little Ling Ge, how adorable you are! You’ll surely grow up to be a lovely girl that everybody loves. Give Great Grandpa a smile."
Beichen Rui came over with some fruit and, upon hearing this, couldn’t help but smile, "Grandpa, the baby’s so small, how can she smile yet!"
Mr. Bei Chen ignored him and played with the little one for a while before looking up at him, "Tong Ma has taken leave to go home. Can you manage taking care of Xinluo by yourself? Why not hire a maternity nurse since you have to take care of both kids, and Xinluo is still in her postpartum recovery, having an extra hand could ease the burden."
In response, Beichen Rui didn’t think much of it, "Grandpa, I can handle it myself. Jingxi is big enough now and pretty independent. Sometimes he even helps take care of the little one, so it’s not too exhausting."
"That’s good, Jingxi has always been a thoughtful boy. Now with this little one, he must be really fond of her too."
In fact, it’s not just Jingxi who likes the little one. Beichen Rui is also particularly fond of her. Now with Mr. Bei Chen, she’s literally the center of attention.
"Didn’t they say there were a few days left until the due date? Why did it suddenly happen earlier?"
He had planned everything according to the due date and intended to return when Ye Xinluo was due. However, he suddenly received a call from Beichen Rui saying the baby was born, which was quite surprising.
Upon hearing this, Beichen Rui lowered his gaze.
Having watched him grow up, he could easily tell Beichen Rui had something on his mind, "What happened?"
"Nothing, it will be resolved soon."
For now, Beichen Rui didn’t plan to mention it to his grandpa to prevent him from worrying.
Even though Mr. Bei Chen had questions in his heart, hearing this, he ultimately chose not to ask.
Several days passed with Beichen Rui spending each day at home with Ye Xinluo.
That morning, while Beichen Rui was preparing food, his phone rang in his pocket. He took a look at the caller ID and hesitated for a few seconds before answering.
"Rui, something happened..."
As soon as the call connected, Xu Kun’s somewhat anxious voice came through. It seemed this was the first time he had spoken in such an urgent tone.
"What’s wrong?"
"Rui, can you come to the office? If not, I’ll come to your home."
It seemed like something tricky had indeed occurred.
Ye Xinluo was still waiting for him to bring the food upstairs, and he was hesitating about what to do when the doorbell rang.
"Hold on, I’ll call you back later."
