Chapter 311 Empathy
Wen Lan gently hugged Yangyang and stared closely at Yangyang's pink and tender face, feeling an inexplicable joy that she had never felt before in her heart.
Yangyang was sleeping soundly with her eyes closed, her snow-white baby skin could be broken by a blow, and her facial features were as delicate as a doll in the window.
Her two hands were separated by a thin blanket, feeling the warmth brought by the softness in her arms, which actually gave her the illusion that the years were peaceful.
The long and graceful features made her like her more and more, and she thought of Nuan Nuan...
"If you hold her like this for a long time, your arms will get sore. It's better to put Yangyang back in the baby room." Jiang Jingci reminded Wen Lan in a low voice.
Wen Lan shook his head and looked at Jiang Jingci sheepishly, "Can you let me hug Yangyang for a while?"
"As long as you're not tired, just hold him." Jiang Jingci smiled and called to Jiang Guan, who was staring at Yangyang with amusement, "Hurry up and help me pick vegetables."
"Good!" When Jiang Guan went to the kitchen, he thoughtfully gathered the small blanket for Yangyang.
Jiang Jingci's dark gaze remained fixed on Wen Lan, "Since Yangyang arrived, the house has been much more lively than before."
"Lao Jiang, Yangyang is so good." Wen Lan made no secret of his love for Yangyang.
"My daughter is of course good." Jiang Jingci's voice was full of meaning, "I have wanted a daughter for many years. Ever since you and I drew a line and went to Lincheng, I knew that there would never be another daughter in this generation. I have a biological daughter. In the past six months, I have searched almost all the welfare homes in first- and second-tier cities in China before I found Yangyang in Shangjing.”
"Yangyang is so cute and healthy, how could her parents abandon her?" Wen Lan actually found similarities with his own in Yangyang's facial features.
She cursed herself secretly, thinking about Nuan Nuan so much that she got dizzy!
He would actually mistake a little girl of the same age as Nuan Nuan for Nuan Nuan!
"Yangyang is an orphan. She lost her parents when she was just one month old. Her relatives on both sides didn't want her, so she was left at the entrance of the orphanage." Jiang Jingci avoided her eyes and quickly changed the subject, "You like Yangyang so much, so you must have thought of her again. Sad thing."
"I don't know why, but I liked Yangyang very much when I saw her for the first time yesterday. Maybe it's because I have been a mother once, and I can sympathize with other children when I see her!" Wen Lan explained.
"Since you like it, come to Qiushuitai more often to help me take care of Yangyang. If something happens to the nanny's family, she won't come over until the fourth day of the new year." Jiang Jingci said slowly, "You saw it just now, Jiang and I Guan is in a hurry, focusing on one thing and not the other, and it’s really hard to do what he wants.”
Wen Lan did not agree immediately.
Because there are two voices fighting in her head!
One was saying that Jiang Jingci was very scheming and that in order to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, he should stay away as soon as possible.
One is saying that Yangyang has a pitiful life experience, and being kind to Yangyang can make up for the regret of Nuannuan's death.
"You stay with Yangyang, and I'll cook." Although she didn't say anything, Jiang Jingci could see that her mind was starting to get active, so he simply went to the kitchen and left the choice to her.
She freed up a hand and placed her index finger gently on Yangyang's forehead, feeling Yangyang's body temperature with the fragrance of milk.
Nuannuan——
Holding Yangyang in her arms, she shouted her daughter's name over and over again in her heart, with soreness and pain permeating her limbs and bones...
Maybe it was because Yangyang was being held, but half an hour later he was still asleep.
Wen Lan was sitting on a wooden chair. Afraid of waking up Yang Yang, his arms and legs remained in the same position as before. If he moved even a little bit, he would feel sore and numb!
Jiang Jingci had already taken off his apron when he turned back again, "The food and ingredients are ready. We will start frying after eleven o'clock, and try to have dinner ready after eleven-thirty. You give Yang Yang to me, and I will put her away." Go to the crib."
"I'm afraid I'll wake her up again if I change hands, so I'd better put her in the crib." Wen Lan held Jiang Jingci's daughter and spoke to Jiang Jingci very politely, "The crib is still on the second floor. First floor?”
"The eastmost bedroom on the first floor." Jiang Jingci looked at Wen Lan with surprise in his eyes.
Every time Wen Lan interacted with him, he was always fierce. Even if he was as gentle as now, it was fleeting.
Wen Lan focused all his attention on Yangyang. He endured the soreness in his hands and feet and walked gently towards the bedroom Jiang Jingci mentioned.
The bedroom is very large. Not only does it have a log crib, the entire room has been transformed into a baby's room, a lavender princess room to be exact!
The imported cashmere carpet makes no sound at all when you step on it.
There are high-quality shelves and wardrobes, and one wall is filled with girls' toys of different sizes, ranging from a few months to a few years old.
She carefully put Yangyang into the crib, covered him with a quilt, and stared at Yangyang's sleeping face for a long time before turning her attention to the layout of the room.
The crib and several cabinets of different sizes are actually the same brand as those she prepared for Nuannuan.
The baby bottles, bowls, spoons, water cups, small clothes and blankets stacked in the bedside storage basket are all from famous foreign brands.
Wen Lan breathed a sigh of relief sincerely, Jiang Jingci treated Yangyang well.
"Let Yangyang sleep alone for a while." At some point, Jiang Jingci was already standing at the door, "I just made a pot of coffee, let's drink some together?"
She glanced at Yangyang again, then walked out of the baby room with three steps.
Without Yangyang in her arms, she suddenly felt that she and Jiang Jingci had nothing to talk about. She was busy looking for something to talk about, "Where is Jiang Guan?"
"I'm going upstairs to do my homework. The high school entrance examination will be held after the new year. Now he and I are still debating whether to choose to go abroad or stay in China and take the college entrance examination." Jiang Jingci had already walked to the living room ahead of her and handed over a glass. Steaming hot coffee.
Out of politeness, she took it and put it on the coffee table, "Sorry, Old Jiang, I don't sleep well, and I've given up coffee a long time ago."
"Wait, I'll make you some fruit tea." Jiang Jingci just turned around, and Wen Lan's phone rang.
Wan Lan was afraid of waking up Yangyang, so she quickly turned her phone to silent without even looking at it.
Jiang Jingci had seen the name "Xie Yansheng" flashing on her phone screen, and smiled with a hidden smile, "Mr. Xie's call, why don't you answer it?"
She didn't intend to answer Xie Yansheng's call, and when Jiang Jingci said that, she directly clicked to reject it.
After Jiang Jingci made the fruit tea, he pretended to be nonchalant and said, "An Zhen has gone to the hospital to give birth. Mr. Xie attaches great importance to the unborn grandson of the eldest wife, and is going to move the city center-"
"Don't say it. I don't want to hear anything about the Xie family." Wen Lan interrupted Jiang Jingci with a stern face.
"Sorry, I don't know what to say when the conversation between us becomes awkward, and I just said something I shouldn't have said." Jiang Jingci looked guilty, and as he was speaking, he heard the doorbell ring, and hurriedly said, "It's New Year's Day, I'll go see who's here."
Wen Lan nodded perfunctorily, and was about to go see Yangyang again, but she saw a message on her phone that Xie Yansheng had sent half a minute ago: "If you don't get out of Jiang Jingci's house, I'll go in and drag you out!"
She immediately had a bad premonition and ran to the door!
