Chapter 617: Chapter 616: Grandpa Lu Buys You a Toy

Luo Yue had known that Lu Pengcheng would come, and even though she really didn’t want to have guests over, with her mother-in-law around, she still had to put on a show.

She struggled to speak out, "The elder has arrived!"

She was truly conflicted about Lu Pengcheng.

Originally, she really didn’t want him to see her child, but somehow, perhaps a sudden sense of compassion had come over her, she impulsively agreed.

When her mother went home and called Lin Xia, she didn’t lack for regret.

Unfortunately, having already agreed, she couldn’t go back on her word.

After her mother came back and informed her, she found an excuse to leave the house.

She understood that she didn’t want to face Lu Pengcheng.

"Yes! I just came to see your child!" Although Lu Pengcheng’s emotions surged, he pretended to be indifferent.

He had already given up hope and planned to leave that afternoon.

To his surprise, Luo Yue actually agreed to let him see his grandchild.

His heart was a mix of emotions, every feeling imaginable.

Lin Aijia didn’t notice the subtle tension between Lu Pengcheng and his daughter Luo Yue.

She was busy happily showing off her precious grandchild to Lu Pengcheng.

"In-law! Look how robust our child is! So eager with that mouth! And he can eat!"

"The child is growing up so well! He will definitely be a handsome young man!" Lu Pengcheng praised sincerely, his eyes not leaving the child for a second.

To him, this tiny bundle was just too adorable.

His whole heart seemed to melt in that instant.

Upon closer observation of the child’s features - the big eyes that were like black grapes - he felt that the child resembled Luo Yue more.

But as for his identity, it was not appropriate to say so outright.

"Of course! Both his mom and dad are good-looking, so the child can’t go wrong as he grows up!" Lin Aijia was inwardly thrilled, as refreshed as if she had drunk a glass of ice water on a scorching summer day.

The baby had just finished nursing, and Luo Yue was holding him upright and gently patting his back to burp him.

Curious about the noise, he turned his head, wanting to see what was going on, while making unintelligible sounds, "Eh... ah..."

His actions immediately caused everyone in the bedroom to burst into laughter.

"This kid is really sturdy! Just a few days old and he can already turn his head!" Lin Aijia laughed hard, teeth showing in her wide smile, "Grandma’s sweet grandson! You’re anxious! You want to talk! Grandma will introduce you, this is your aunt’s father-in-law! When you grow up, you need to call him Grandpa Lu!"

She was extremely satisfied with her eldest grandson, feeling that no one’s child could compare to her own.

So moved by Lin Aijia’s words, Lu Pengcheng felt an overwhelming sense of emotion; his eyes grew hot and moist.

He never dreamed that one day he would be this close to his grandchild.

He clenched his fists, suppressing the urge to hold the child.

Getting a glimpse of the child was enough to satisfy him, and he dared not hope for more.

Lu Pengcheng held back his emotions and said in a steady voice, "Baby! When you grow up, Grandpa Lu will buy you toys!"

Lin Aijia clapped and laughed, "My eldest grandson! When you grow up, you’ll have more toys than you can play with!"

Luo Yue kept her gaze down, avoiding looking at Lu Pengcheng. Agreeing to let him come was already a big step for her.

She simply couldn’t manage to talk to him as if everything was normal.

Besides, with her mother-in-law there, one wrong word or misplaced expression could easily arouse her suspicion.

Lin Xia stood by silently watching the scene, with her own mixed emotions.

Just then, someone knocked at the door.

"Hongli! Go see who it is? Is it your mother forgetting her keys?" Lin Aijia commanded Yu Hongli, who was standing at the bedroom door.

"Alright!" Yu Hongli hurried to open the door.

Lin Xia and Lu Pengcheng exchanged glances, guessing it probably wasn’t Luo Xinyan.

They were in the bedroom and soon heard who the visitors were.

There was noise from Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Shuqin in the living room, as well as Lin Aiguo.

Lin Xia glanced at Lu Pengcheng; now that they had arrived, it wasn’t appropriate for the two of them to stay any longer.

Once Lin Aiguo and the others showed up, they would certainly take the opportunity to harp on about selling the house to her again.

Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Shuqin were carrying things for breastfeeding, and Lin Aiguo hadn’t come empty-handed either.

They placed their items near the entrance and followed Yu Hongli into the bedroom.

Seeing Lu Pengcheng there, surprise showed on all three of their faces.

Nobody had expected Lin Xia’s father-in-law to come for the postnatal visit!

"In-laws have arrived!" Lin Aiguo took the initiative to go forward and shake hands with Lu Pengcheng.

Zhang Lanxiang greeted him with a smile, "What a coincidence that Lin Xia’s father-in-law is here!"

"When did you arrive?" Liu Shuqin asked with a smile plastered on her face, well aware that Lin Xia’s father-in-law was a leader and instinctively trying to ingratiate herself with him.

Lu Pengcheng greeted them one by one, "I just got here today!" He casually explained why he came over, "I heard that cousin Lin Xia had a baby, so I came to take a look!"

Lin Aiguo looked embarrassed, "In-law! You really shouldn’t have! No need to come over!"

Lu Pengcheng, unfazed, said, "It’s fine! I quite like children, and it was a good opportunity to come see!"

Lin Aiguo asked with a smile, "How have you been keeping?"

"Not bad! You seem to be doing all right too!"

"Doing all right!" Lin Aiguo and Lu Pengcheng stood together making small talk.

Lin Aijia and the others weren’t idle either.

Lin Aijia asked, "Mom! Why did you only come over today?"

Logically, her family’s relatives should have hurried over for the postnatal visit as soon as they knew their daughter-in-law had given birth.

Zhang Lanxiang explained, "Big brother and mom were waiting for me! I arranged for a shift and actually wanted to come the day before yesterday, but I couldn’t get leave!

If I had come alone, I wouldn’t have been able to find this place!"

This was her very first visit to Yu Hongli’s home!

Thinking of this, Zhang Lanxiang couldn’t help feeling somewhat bitter.

Previously, Lin Aijia had categorically forbidden these people from coming over for a visit or to get acquainted with the place, but now that there was a child, they wanted them to come for the postnatal visit and no longer mentioned not allowing them to come!

Lin Aijia maintained her superficial smile, not wanting to argue with Zhang Lanxiang at this time.

Liu Shuqin quietly tugged at Zhang Lanxiang’s arm, "No need to talk about those unnecessary things! Hurry up and look at the child! This little one is really adorable!"

Zhang Lanxiang and Liu Shuqin went to see the child together, showering praises non-stop, choosing only the nicest things to say.

"My oh my, isn’t that the truth! You have to live in the city to get those benefits! It’s convenient to buy whatever you want to eat, nutrition is better kept up with – just look at the child’s thick head of hair!

It’s nothing like the kids in our village. If I didn’t know better, I’d believe you if you told me the baby was two months old!"

The mother-in-law and her daughter-in-law lavished such praise, regardless of the reaction from Luo Yue and Yu Hongli, it at least made Lin Aijia grin from ear to ear.

Zhang Lanxiang looked at Luo Yue, who had cut her hair short, and carefully glanced at Lin Xia’s father-in-law.

She didn’t know if it was her own misconception, but somehow she felt there were similarities in features between these two people!

When Yu Hongli married, Lin Xia’s father-in-law had attended the wedding.

But perhaps because Luo Yue had her long hair up and it was a bustling scene, Zhang Lanxiang hadn’t paid much attention.

So, she hadn’t noticed any resemblance between these two unrelated individuals.

But now, seeing them together like this, she thought they looked astonishingly alike.

She couldn’t help but pay more attention and took several more glances...
