Chapter 573: Chapter 571 Truly Clever_1

Xia Ningxing didn’t cuddle with Lu Tingli for too long, because her heart was always tied to a little fellow, "Lu, let’s hurry back, you have no idea how much I miss Chuanchuan!"

Her tone was filled with urgency and impatience as she took his hand, ready to leave.

For a mother, there is nothing more important than her own child!

"Let’s go," said Lu Tingli, holding her hand.

On the way back, they both wore special protective suits.

To prevent infection, the first gate of the old compound was equipped with a disinfection area.

At the moment, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were being disinfected.

"Spray me with more disinfectant," they said in unison to the servant during the disinfection.

Although they weren’t infected, it was always safer to disinfect more thoroughly.

After the disinfection was complete, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli, carrying the smell of disinfectant on their bodies, strode forward towards the old house.

Inside the living room, lunch was in progress.

The old master sat at the head of the table, holding Chuanchuan in his arms, currently feeding the little one with a milk bottle.

Without breast milk, they could only give formula.

Although the little fellow initially cried a couple of times from discomfort, he soon pulled himself together, heeding his mother’s words to try his best not to cry or fuss.

The old master was distracted, having barely touched his food.

With his grandson and granddaughter-in-law now isolated, and Star Shine in a state of anxiety, even stuck in a rut, how could he have the appetite to eat?

Sigh.

The old master couldn’t help but sigh again.

"Master, if you go on like this, you will break down!" Nanny Wu, seeing this, felt a heartrending pain and her eyes reddened with tears welling up.

The old master waved his hand weakly at her, "It’s nothing."

Just then, the little one in his arms seemed to notice something; he suddenly raised his little hand to push the milk bottle away and blabbered baby sounds that were incomprehensible.

His little arms and legs also struggled to wriggle out of the old master’s embrace, as if he wanted to be held by someone else.

"Chuanchuan, what’s wrong?" The old master quickly looked down, his face filled with concern for the little great-grandson, while at the same time attempting to check his diaper to see if he had urinated or had a bowel movement.

After all, any movement from the little one usually meant without a doubt it was one of these two things.

However, before he could check the diaper this time, Nanny Wu let out a cry of joy from the side: "Master, look quickly, the young master and the young mistress, they are back!"

"Xingxing is back?" The old master instinctively ignored Lu Tingli, and immediately turned his head towards the doorway.

Isn’t it that they’re back!

Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were seen walking toward them hand in hand against the light.

The light blurred their facial features, but the old master recognized them at a glance.

"Xingxing..."

As the old master looked at them, Xia Ningxing and Lu Tingli were also looking at him.

Six eyes met, as if traversing time and space, the air was thick with excitement and a sense of relief.

Xia Ningxing instinctively called out, "Grandfather, we are back."

Lu Tingli also called out after her.

"It’s good you’re back! It’s good you’re back!" Upon hearing these words, the old master’s eyes moistened instantaneously, and the heart that had been in his throat finally settled down.

Since they could come back, it meant they were not infected, they were healthy!

Good!

So good!

The old master, who had been sullen and depressed for many days, finally showed a smile and ordered, "Wu, quick, hurry and add two more sets of bowls and chopsticks. Look how thin these two children are; they must have suffered a lot during the isolation."

As he spoke, he scrutinized Lu Tingli and Xia Ningxing carefully, his eyes filled with compassion.

Nanny Wu wiped away her tears, nodding in haste: "I’m on it! Right away!"

Nanny Wu then hurried off to follow the instructions.

In the old master’s arms, Chuanchuan kept muttering and struggling, his little hand reaching vigorously towards where Xia Ningxing was, clearly longing for her embrace.

"Chuanchuan!"

Seeing the little one she had missed so much, Xia Ningxing felt her entire heart melting.

She quickly walked up to him, about to hold him but then remembered the strong smell of disinfectant on her, knowing his sense of smell was still delicate, and the scent would be too strong for him.

Therefore, Xia Ningxing withdrew her hands and stepped back a few paces.

"Ya ya!" Chuanchuan, with his large, round, black grape-like eyes, looked at her bewildered and sad, as tears quickly gathered in his eyes.

Why didn’t mommy hold him?

Did she not like him anymore?

Xia Ningxing, seeing the tearful gleam in his eyes, instantly understood the little one’s sensitivity and immediately said, "Chuanchuan, be good, don’t cry, don’t cry. Mommy doesn’t dislike you, and it’s not that I don’t want to hug you. It’s just that the smell of disinfectant on mommy is too strong, and it would irritate the baby. Wait a bit, mommy will take a shower and then hug you."

Xia Ningxing explained to him.

The little one seemed to understand, and his tears turned to laughter in a second.

After taking a quick shower, Xia Ningxing finally got to hold her dear little one in her arms as she wished.

The little one was soft and fragrant, and it felt incredibly comfortable to hold him.

She pinched his little cheeks with a smile, "Chuanchuan has gained weight, you’ve gotten chubbier in just a few days!"

Chuanchuan clearly didn’t know that ’chubby’ was a slightly derogatory term. Seeing his mother so happy, he thought she was praising him and started to laugh foolishly along with her.

The little dimples on his fair and tender face appeared, looking unspeakably adorable.

His little hands fiddled with Xia Ningxing’s soft black hair, playing with it lovingly, as if it were the most fascinating toy in the world.

Then he made a few babbling sounds and nuzzled into Xia Ningxing’s embrace, his little hands reaching for her collar, clearly in search of food.

Xia Ningxing blushed, utterly embarrassed.

After all, the old master and Lu Tingli were still sitting there.

"I’ll go feed the child first." With that, Xia Ningxing was about to get up and leave.

But before she could get up, Lu Tingli held her down, "Don’t worry about the little one for now. You haven’t had a good meal in days; you eat first. It’s okay for the child to have some formula now and breast milk later."

Lu Tingli frowned, staring discontentedly at the little one.

This little creature was too thoughtless!

Although Lu Tingli knew it was absurd to expect an infant less than two months old to be considerate, he couldn’t help but blame him.

The little one feared him the most, and the moment he was stared at by Lu, he dared not seek food any longer. He sulkily withdrew his little hand and obediently started drinking from the bottle Lu handed over, taking one sip at a time.

He drank this way because he couldn’t fill himself up, or else he wouldn’t be able to have the tastier breast milk later.

How clever!

It had to be said that the little one, despite his young age, was already showing his intelligence.
