Chapter 547: Chapter 547: The Child
Little Tangyuan seemed to already understand that her favorite little lamb had been brought by the woman holding her, and with a natural fondness, nestled in Bai Xiao’s arms without moving an inch.
Bai Xiao sang to her, and Little Tangyuan responded with joyful cooing and babbling sounds.
Bai Xiao immediately applauded in welcome.
Little did she know that Little Tangyuan would start clapping her hands to welcome everyone just like Bai Xiao did.
Her imitation was so spot-on that it had everyone doubling over with laughter.
As a result, Little Tangyuan became even prouder, clapping her hands with even more vigor.
Even Old Wang couldn’t help but laugh.
He thought his granddaughter was truly smart, picking up everything so quickly.
Little Tangyuan indeed was clever; when everyone stopped laughing, she would tilt her little head and continue clapping, and when they laughed, she would gaze around in wonder, truly an intelligent and adorable child.
Old Wang poked his wife urgently with his finger, nudging her chin towards him, signaling her to bring Tangyuan over. He felt uncomfortable without his granddaughter by his side, and nobody knew that it was because Tangyuan had been coughing from the smell of tobacco on him yesterday. From that night on, he hadn’t touched his dry pipe until now.
For someone who had smoked for decades, the agony of quitting was indescribable.
Even the old lady was astonished at how powerful her granddaughter’s charm was to have such an effect on the old man.
To think that they had quarreled countless times over her husband’s pipe, and he had never listened to anyone, but a few coughs from his granddaughter and Old Wang managed to hold back to this extent. The old lady felt a pang of jealousy towards her own granddaughter; no one else could compare to this level of treatment.
Knowing that Tangyuan was now the apple of the old man’s eye, she approached with a beaming smile, clapping her hands, "Come here, Tangyuan, to grandma. Let your little aunt take a break! You little meatball, let’s try on the clothes your little aunt bought for you, and see how pretty our Tangyuan looks."
As soon as Tangyuan saw her grandmother, she immediately crawled over.
Bai Xiao gave her a gentle pat on the bottom, and Little Tangyuan turned back to look at Bai Xiao with a grin, seemingly wondering why her little aunt had patted her. Then, turning back and crawling over, she hugged Bai Xiao and kissed her face before crawling back to her grandmother like a little bear.
The old lady carried her to the room to change clothes, not forgetting to hold tightly onto the little lamb.
The three children from Bai Ju’s family had already followed; they adored their little sister so much.
Little Tangyuan was the cutest little one they had ever seen.
Bai Yue started to serve dishes on the table, Bai Ju went to help, and An Zhiyuan, seeing Bai Xiao watch Tangyuan’s disappearing figure with a lost and longing look, couldn’t help but lower his head with a smile curling on his lips, his eyes warm and soft, especially under the sunlight, as if affection was stirring in their depths.
"If you like, we can have a daughter in the future too, so you can have enough fun!"
Looking at Bai Xiao’s loving face towards Tangyuan, he truly felt she would make a good mother.
Suddenly, Bai Xiao’s body jolted. A child?
How could she ever have children?
Her special ability doomed her to congenital coldness; while it was an incredible ability that could save her life against all odds, its only drawback was that her condition made it impossible for her to have children.
She knew it from her past life. After she obtained her special ability, Shang Kaiwen had considered having a descendant of hers, simply to see if the ability was hereditary and whether it could be acquired in some other way.
They had tried IVF so many times, yet never succeeded; the doctor said her constitution made it difficult for her to conceive. 𝔫𝔬𝖛𝖕𝔲𝖇.𝖈𝖔𝖒
Having her own child might be but a luxury.
If it weren’t for Tangyuan, she would never even think of it.
Did she, perhaps, wrong An Zhiyuan?
