Chapter 603: Chapter 601 Don’t overthink it_1

"You also know that sometimes it’s easy to deal with adults, but children can be challenging," Mrs. Xia Ning sighed.

The Ning Family was so famous that countless people came seeking medicine every day, and she was so busy with many things that these matters were usually handled by her subordinates.

Although it is a bit late to explain, it is still better than having an unresolved issue in one’s heart.

"No harm done, it’s all in the past," the old master was an open-minded old man, who immediately waved his hand to indicate it didn’t matter, and added, "Actually, I should thank the Ning Family’s initial refusal to treat me, otherwise how could I have met Xingxing or consequently have found my long-lost son!"

"So you see, these things are somehow arranged by fate," the old man’s wrinkled face was brimming with a smile.

Having heard about this from Xia Ningxing, Mrs. Xia suddenly felt moved and nodded, "It truly is destiny!"

"Don’t stand outside anymore, come in and have a seat," the old master invited them.

As everyone entered the house, Nanny Wu was coming downstairs holding Chuanchuan.

"The baby just woke up, so I brought him down," Nanny Wu said when everyone looked over.

"Is this your child, Xia?" Mrs. Xia asked, excited upon seeing Chuanchuan’s chubby little face.

Xia Ningxing nodded with a gentle expression, "Yes, this is Chuanchuan."

After speaking, Xia Ningxing gestured to Nanny Wu, "Nanny Wu, please bring the child over to my master to see."

"Sure thing." Nanny Wu walked briskly over and placed the child in Mrs. Xia’s arms.

The child was so small and soft, exuding a strong scent of milk. His red little mouth was blowing bubbles, simply too adorable.

Mrs. Xia held him cautiously in her arms as if afraid of harming him in any way.

Upon seeing a stranger, Chuanchuan instinctively let out a couple of "yah yah" sounds, pouting as if he didn’t like it.

Fearing that he might cry, Mrs. Xia quickly soothed him, "Baby be good, be good."

Perhaps it was Mrs. Xia’s gentle voice or maybe because of their blood connection, after an initial period of discomfort, Chuanchuan soon smiled happily and started reaching out to grab Mrs. Xia’s hair to play with.

Mrs. Xia looked at him with a gaze full of affection.

"Chuanchuan, I have prepared some small gifts for you. Let’s see if you like them?" Mrs. Xia said while opening a box, then she took out a gemstone necklace to put on the little guy.

Chuanchuan looked at the shining stones around his neck, surprised, his eyes widened. He played with them non-stop, and then let out a joyful laugh.

He obviously liked it very much.

"This little money-lover!" Xia Ningxing saw her precious son clutching the gemstone and couldn’t help but teasingly complain.

"Teacher of Bao’er, are all these supposed to be for Chuanchuan?" Mrs. Xia noticed the box full of jewelry suitable only for children and couldn’t help but ask.

Everyone else couldn’t help but widen their eyes.

This was ostentatiously generous!

A walking display of wealth!

True to the status of a Family Head of a Traditional Medicine Family!

"Right," Mrs. Xia nodded, then seeing that Mrs. Xia seemed to have the intention to refuse, she quickly added, "These are just some small gifts, please don’t reject them. I am very fond of children, but unfortunately both my daughter and husband are no longer with me. I’m afraid I won’t have the chance to have grandchildren in this lifetime, so I truly consider Chuanchuan as my own little grandson. Don’t treat me as an outsider."

Mrs. Xia had heard about Mrs. Xia Ning’s situation and knew that her husband and daughter had unfortunately died.

Especially that her daughter had died at such a young age.

Both being mothers, even without experiencing it herself, she could understand the pain in her heart.

Therefore, she couldn’t help but suggest, "Bao’er’s master, if you don’t mind, from now on, consider Chuanchuan as your god-grandson."

She thought that this might help heal some of the wounds in her heart.

Mrs. Xia was a kind woman; she hoped that Mrs. Xia Ning would be able to move on from her pain soon.

"Really, can I?" Mrs. Xia Ning was both surprised and delighted.

"Of course!" Mrs. Xia nodded, but quickly realized she might have overstepped, so she turned to Xia Ningxing, "Bao’er, what do you think?"

"Of course, we can!" Xia Ningxing had actually wanted Chuanchuan to call Mrs. Xia Ning ’grandma’ in the future, but she was worried that Mrs. Xia might feel uncomfortable, so she never mentioned it.

But now that she had taken the initiative to suggest it, it couldn’t be better.

"Chuanchuan, look, this is your god-grandma from now on!" Xia Ningxing teased Chuanchuan, telling him.

Chuanchuan, grinning broadly, waved his little hands and babbled in response.

"My god-grandson seems to be calling for me!" Mrs. Xia Ning couldn’t help but feel affectionate and kissed his little head.

Chuanchuan burst into even greater laughter.

During the meal, Mrs. Xia Ning kept serving Xia Ningxing with food, her demeanor extremely affectionate.

Mrs. Xia ate while feeling that something seemed a bit odd.

After the meal, she discreetly began to discuss with Xia Jiehao, "Hao, don’t you think Bao’er’s master is treating Bao’er too well, almost like a mother to her own child?"

Suddenly, Mrs. Xia felt a touch of jealousy.

"Really? It must be your imagination, Lanzi! I think it’s pretty normal," Xia Jiehao, who was more of a rough man, couldn’t pick up on these nuances, and then added with a hint of exasperation, "Besides, isn’t it good that Bao’er’s master is kind to her? Would you rather her master be cold and distant to your daughter?"

Mrs. Xia quickly shook her head, "That’s not what I mean, I just feel like something is not quite right."

As she spoke, her brows furrowed again.

"Alright, stop overthinking it, there’s nothing off!" Xia Jiehao patted her shoulder.

With Xia Jiehao there to shift the topic, Mrs. Xia did not dwell on her suspicions anymore.

At this moment, Xia Ningxing was unaware that, if not for her stepfather, her and Mrs. Xia Ning’s secret might have been revealed.

Right now, Xia Ningxing and Mrs. Xia Ning were in the bedroom.

Xia Ningxing was feeding her child.

Mrs. Xia Ning tenderly touched the child’s head and then looked up at Xia Ningxing, "By the way, daughter, where is your husband? I haven’t seen him."

Today everyone was present except Lu Tingli.

That’s why Mrs. Xia Ning was curious and asked.

Xia Ningxing replied, "Lu is still at the research institute, but he just texted me that he will be back tonight, and then you’ll be able to meet him."

"I need to take a good look at this son-in-law of mine," Mrs. Xia Ning said with a smile, nodding her head.

She was curious to see what kind of man had captured her daughter’s heart.

She could tell that her daughter’s eyes and brows were filled with deep affection.

Just like how she had been enamored with her father, Xia Aiguo, back in the day.
