Chapter 1953: 1953

It was a simple family dinner and was supposed to be a simple, official meeting between Ye Qianqian and the relatives .

But ultimately, it was just a gathering .

After the meal, Ye Qianqian and Shen Zhilie went to the Shen residence .

But the moment they entered the Shen house, they heard the cries of a baby .

The sound was exceptionally jarring, especially since there weren’t any young children in the family at all .

Ye Qianqian looked at Shen Zhilie and asked, “Where did the baby come from?”

Shen Zhilie’s lips curled up slightly, but he didn’t reply right away .

Shen Zhilie led Ye Qianqian into the house, and they immediately saw Nanny He, who was

coaxing a baby in her arms .

Ye Qianqian didn’t have much experience with babies, but this baby didn’t seem like it was a newborn .

It had to be at least one or two months old .

Ye Qianqian moved in closer and glanced curiously at it before asking, “Whose baby is this?”

Nanny He grinned and replied, “It’s the Great Young Master’s child . ”

Ye Qianqian was stunned, but she quickly understood what was going on .

She turned and look at Shen Zhilie, who then nodded at her and said, “You’ve guessed right . ”

Shocked, she drew in a sharp breath and said, “How could she agree to send the baby over?”

“Shen Luo’an is a real jerk!” she thought .

Ye Qianqian didn’t think he was very successful as a husband or a man .

“Could such a person really take good care of a child?” she thought .

“Where is she?” Ye Qianqian asked .

Shen Zhilie glanced at her . “I don’t know,” he said simply . “My brother said she’s dead . ”

“Impossible!” Ye Qianqian found it hard to believe, but at the same time, she felt a little sad .

“Shen Manting had terrible fortune,” she thought . “She met Shen Luo’an, and then she met Old Mrs . Shen… Sigh!”

“I don’t believe it, either,” Shen Zhilie sighed softly . “Do you want to hold the baby?”

Ye Qianqian initially wanted to hold it, but then she felt a little afraid to do so .

“This is Shen Manting and Shen Luo’an’s child!” she thought .

After she stared at the baby for a while, she couldn’t restrain herself any longer and reached out her hands to take it .

The baby wouldn’t stop crying . Its face was already red from crying, and its voice was loud and piercing .

“Is the child a boy or a girl?” Ye Qianqian stared at it and pinched its tiny hands .

Miraculously, the child’s cries lessened the moment she pinched it .

As if it were curious, it opened its black, watery eyes and stared at Ye Qianqian .

“It’s really pretty . ” Ye Qianqian stared at the baby in her arms, and her lips widened into a smile .

“He’s a boy . His name is Shen Yuexiao . ” Shen Zhilie looked at the baby . “Grandmother named him . What do you think?”

“It sounds nice,” Ye Qianqian exclaimed . “‘Yue’ as in ‘excel’?”

“Yes, and ‘Xiao’ as in ‘brave and fierce . ‘”

“That’s pretty awesome . Did Grandmother come up with it through fortune-telling?”

“Probably . I’m not sure . ” Shen Zhilie stared at the baby . “The baby was already here when I returned to the capital, but Manting didn’t come back here . ”

“You didn’t manage to see her?”

“No . ” Shen Zhilie sounded as if he were scolding himself . “My brother said she’s dead, so how could I see her?”

Ye Qianqian became silent, feeling a little doubtful about what Shen Luo’an said .

“Shen Manting wouldn’t die so easily, would she?” she asked herself in disbelief .

January 25 . Sunny day .

It was the New Year, and he came to look for me . He brought a few dozen bags of tonics, and he let himself into my apartment without my permission . I didn’t dare to go home and was drenched in the rain .

My stomach hurts badly . It’s all because of that jerk!”

…

January 27 . Rainy day .

My stomach hurt for a really long time, but the baby’s now finally born .

It’s a boy, and he weighs 5 . 7 catties .

There’s a saying that children born during the New Year will have the best lives .

They’ll live long lives, and each year will be full of good fortune .

Thankfully, the baby’s especially healthy and doesn’t have any problems because of my malnutrition .

Baby, Mummy loves you .
