Chapter 444: Chapter 444 Too Clever by Half

After bathing, when she went downstairs, Lin Xinlan found that Xiaocong had already become familiar with their grandmother.

She knew her child well.

Whoever was nice to him, he would like them.

The grandmother genuinely liked him, spoiled him with everything, so naturally, he quickly took a liking to her.

"Grandma, what is this? It tastes so good." Xiaocong asked, tilting his head innocently.

"This, my dear, is strawberry cream cake. If you like it, Grandma will have someone make it for you every day."

The grandmother wiped the cream from the corner of his mouth with a tissue, saying indulgently.

However, Xiaocong firmly shook his head, "I shouldn’t eat it every day, Mom said I should eat less sweets. Xiaocong needs to take care of his teeth and can’t get cavities."

The grandmother was taken aback for a moment, genuinely pleased with the child’s sensibility.

But this child was too well-behaved and understanding, lacking the mischief of ordinary children, which made her feel quite sad.

"It’s alright, Grandma here has the best dentist. Even if you damage your teeth, the dentist can fix them for you."

Hearing her say this, Xiaocong hesitated.

He really wanted to eat delicious cake every day, but if his teeth got damaged, Mom would be upset and angry, wouldn’t she?

"No, Xiaocong should listen to Mom." He still shook his head, even more firmly this time.

The grandmother didn’t insist anymore, and when she lifted her head and saw Xinlan approaching, she gave a faint smile and said, "You’ve raised your child very well. Shaoze was sensible when he was this small too, but he was a little bully, not as well-behaved as him."

Xinlan’s eyes flickered, not quite understanding the grandmother’s meaning.

Was she criticizing her for raising her child too well-behaved?

In fact, she had never been strict with Xiaocong; she was very good to him, almost always acquiescing to his requests.

But she didn’t understand why he was so well-behaved and sensible, treating her words as if they were sacred edicts.

Whatever she said, he would remember it by heart, never daring to forget.

"Mom, you’ve come! Come eat some cake, Xiaocong saved a lot for you!"

Upon hearing the grandmother’s conversation, he naturally guessed that his mom had arrived.

The grandmother’s expression stiffened slightly; it turned out he was eating so slowly because he wanted to save the cake for Xinlan.

Unaccountably, she felt a tinge of jealousy that Xinlan could win the child’s affection.

"Xiaocong, there’s plenty more cake in the kitchen, you eat, Grandma will have someone send a piece over to your mom," the grandmother quickly said, with an unintentionally sour tone.

Xinlan couldn’t help but smile.

She sat down next to Xiaocong, wrapping one arm around his small body, and asked him, "Who gave you the cake?"

"It was Grandma."

"Grandma is so kind to Xiaocong."

Without needing to say much more, Xiaocong immediately understood, groping to grasp the grandmother’s hand and smiling sweetly at her, "Grandma, Xiaocong really likes you, may I give you a kiss?"

The grandmother’s eyes widened in delight, a big smile revealing itself, "Of course."

She eagerly moved her face close to his mouth, and his little hand cradled her face as his soft little lips planted a firm kiss on her cheek.

The grandmother was overjoyed, even more so than when Shaoze first kissed her as a child.

"Grandma likes you very much too, come, give Grandma a kiss." She held the child’s face and kissed it several times.

Xiaocong giggled, and as soon as the grandmother let go, he threw his soft little body into Xinlan’s arms, embracing her and squirming with laughter.

Xinlan knew that he was shy and also asking for affection.

She stroked his fuzzy little head and asked, with a laugh, "Have you had enough to eat?"
