Chapter 842 Such a Relationship Is Really Good
“Yeah, yeah, yeah, you’re a good baby boy.” Xu Youning comforted Xiangyi in a flurry while gesturing Mumu to go upstairs. “Go and call Auntie Jian’an over.”
She could not handle the little baby in her arms!
“Okay.”
Mumu quickly slipped down from the sofa and ran up to the second floor.
Su Jian’an came down to hold Xiangyi in her arms. The little girl gradually stopped crying, hummed in a low voice, and moved around in her mother’s arms.
The more Mumu saw it, the more depressed he became. He held his chin and blinked in confusion. “Auntie Jian’an, why doesn’t the baby want me to hold her?”
“Because you haven’t gotten familiar with her yet,” said Su Jian’an. “If you play with her for a few more days, she will let you hold her.”
Mumu lay down and looked at Xiangyi thoughtfully. “Okay.”
At this time, Aunt Liu went downstairs with two bottles of milk and handed one to Su Jian’an and the other one to Xiyu.
Su Jian’an suddenly thought of something, and she called Xu Youning and said, “Do you want to try feeding Xiyu milk? You should acc.u.mulate experience in advance, lest you get fl.u.s.tered in the future.”
“…” Xu Youning paused and forced a smile. “Okay.”
She picked up Xiyu and fed him milk under Aunt Liu’s guidance.
Mumu got close to Su Jian’an and said eagerly, “Auntie Youning, may I feed the baby milk?”
Su Jian’an thought for a while and finally couldn’t bear to refuse Mumu. She handed the bottle to him and said, “In fact, it’s not difficult. Just help the baby hold the bottle.”
“Okay!”
Mumu took over the bottle and looked at Xiangyi seriously.
Xiangyi just drank a few mouthfuls of milk and was still hungry. Suddenly unable to drink the milk for no reason, she was naturally unhappy. Her face puckered and she was about to cry again. Mumu quickly sent the spout to her lips and said, “Don’t cry, baby. Be good.” Then he gently rubbed her face.
Xiangyi opened her mouth and bit the spout, gulping down the bottle of milk. She didn’t cry again.
Mumu felt that he had comforted the baby. He smiled happily at Xiangyi and said, “That’s right. Don’t cry. Be as obedient as me.”
Xiangyi stared at Mumu for a while, and turned around to continue gulping down milk. After drinking more than half a bottle of milk, she fell asleep in Su Jian’an’s arms.
Xu Youning whispered, “Xiyu also fell asleep.”
The two little guys usually fell asleep at the same time. Perhaps, this was because of the spiritual connection between them.
Su Jian’an held Xiangyi in her arms, got up gently, and said, “I’ll take them to the room upstairs and let them sleep.”
After the babies settled down, Aunt Liu stayed to watch them in the room. Su Jian’an and Xu Youning took Mumu downstairs.
Su Jian’an checked the time. It was already noon, no wonder she was a little hungry.
When she was thinking about whether to cook or not, her phone rang. The ringtone specially for Lu Boyan sounded.
She answered the phone and heard Lu Boyan’s voice. “Are you hungry?”
“I’m just hungry.” Su Jian’an looked at the kitchen. “I don’t know if there are any ingredients in the refrigerator. I suddenly want to eat boiled fish.”
“Go to Mu Qi’s house.” Lu Boyan’s tone was very relaxed. “Aunt Zhou has made it for you.”
Su Jian’an was surprised and asked uncertainly, “Boiled fish?”
“Yes.” Lu Boyan said, “You said yesterday that you wanted to eat it.”
Su Jian’an raised the corner of her mouth, and her smile was filled with endless happiness.
After a while, she replied, “Then I’m going to Sijue’s house. Remember to eat on time.”
Lu Boyan replied with an “okay” but did not hang up.
Su Jian’an knew his habit, so she hung up the phone first and said to Mumu and Xu Youning, “Let’s have lunch.”
Xu Youning didn’t know what Lu Boyan had said to Su Jian’an, but the happiness on Su Jian’an’s face was genuine and obvious.
Such a relationship was really good.
Back at the villa, Xu Youning found that Aunt Zhou had cooked the boiled fish that Su Jian’an had just mentioned. She was amazed. “Aunt Zhou, did you predict that Jian’an wanted to eat boiled fish?”
“I don’t have that amazing ability.” Aunt Zhou said with a smile as she placed the bowls and chopsticks, “When I was about to cook, Boyan called me and asked me to cook boiled fish at noon. I thought he wanted to eat it. But he denied and said that it was his wife who wanted to eat it.”
This was the first time that Su Jian’an had seen Aunt Zhou. She smiled at the old lady and said, “Thank you, Aunt Zhou.”
Aunt Zhou waved her hand and said, “You’re welcome. Please sit down and eat.”
Su Jian’an took the soup bowls and poured a bowl of soup for everyone. Then she sat down. As soon as she picked up the chopsticks, she heard Xu Youning’s sigh.
“It’s really not easy…”
“Huh?” Su Jian’an was confused. “What?”
“Boss Lu must be very busy now,” said Xu Youning, “but he still remembers what you said yesterday.”
Su Jian’an smiled and said, “Let’s eat.”
After the meal, Su Jian’an helped Aunt Zhou do the dishes and said to her, “Aunt Zhou, you take a rest in the afternoon. I’ll make dinner.”
“Okay.” Aunt Zhou smiled. “I’ve seen Boyan several times. When I heard from Little Seven that Boyan was getting married, I also asked Little Seven what kind of girl Boyan would marry.”
Su Jian’an turned off the tap and asked curiously, “What did Sijue say?”
“Little Seven just said that the girl was said to be good at cooking. I was relieved then.” Aunt Zhou’s smile didn’t fade away. “I’m going to the supermarket to buy some ingredients. What do you want to cook? I’ll buy whatever you need.”
“Anything is okay.” Su Jian’an dried her hands and said, “You can buy whatever Youning likes.”
Aunt Zhou nodded. “Okay.”
Su Jian’an walked out of the kitchen and said to Xu Youning that she would go back.
She didn’t know whether the two little guys at home had woken up or not. It was a special period now, so she couldn’t stay here and chat with Xu Youning with ease.
Mumu pulled Xu Youning’s hand and said, “Let’s go to Auntie Jian’an’s house, okay? I want to see the babies.”
Su Jian’an thought it was a good idea, so she said to Xu Youning, “Then let’s go together. You’ll be idle at home after all.”
If Xu Youning stayed at home, she would indeed be bored. She nodded and walked out with Su Jian’an holding Mumu’s hand.
Back at the villa next door, the two little guys were still sleeping. Su Jian’an asked Aunt Liu and Uncle Xu to go to the restaurant of the club for lunch and a.s.sured them that she would look after Xiyu and Xiangyi.
A monitor was installed in the children’s room, and the iPad was the display terminal. Su Jian’an turned on the monitor and placed the iPad on the tea table. She chatted with Xu Youning and occasionally saw whether the two little guys were awake.
Mumu could not partic.i.p.ate in the conversation of the two adults, so he simply sat down on the sofa and stared at the monitor display.
Su Jian’an and Xu Youning were more and more devoted to the conversation, and the frequency of her watching the surveillance video slowly decreased.
In contrast, Mumu was completely absorbed in the display.
He had never seen newborn babies before, but he had heard from the children in the kindergarten that newborn babies loved crying, and they were ugly and boring with wrinkled skin.
But the two babies were different. Their skin was like milk, and only one of them loved crying.
Thinking of this, Mumu turned to look at Xiangyi who loved crying and suddenly found that there was something wrong with her.
She was struggling on the infant bed, and it seemed difficult for her to breathe!
“Auntie Jian’an!” Mumu called Su Jian’an. “The baby doesn’t seem to be feeling well!”
Su Jian’an looked at the iPad, and her face suddenly changed. She got up and ran upstairs.
Xiangyi suffered from pediatric asthma. Although doctors had been controlling the condition of her asthma, they said that it was difficult to cure this disease.
In summer, Xiangyi had been fine. But in autumn and winter, the symptoms had occurred a few times.
Su Jian’an pushed the door open and found the medicine on the bedside table. She sprayed it a few times, and then the little girl’s breathing gradually returned to normal.
She trembled and picked up her daughter, unconsciously holding the little girl tighter.
Xu Youning took Mumu’s hand and ran up. When she saw Su Jian’an’s pale face, she asked in a low voice, “Do you need to call…”
“No.” Before Xu Youning finished her words, Su Jian’an had shaken her head and refused. “Boyan must be busy now. I can take good care of Xiangyi.”
“What’s wrong with Xiangyi?” Xu Youning was confused. “Why does she suddenly have difficulty breathing?”
“Pediatric asthma.” Su Jian’an said, “Maybe because the temperature here is too low and Xiangyi is not accustomed to it, the symptoms occurred.”
Xu Youning walked over and touched Su Jian’an’s hand. It was cold.
Su Jian’an looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she was afraid after all, wasn’t she?
However, she still did not intend to let Lu Boyan know all this.
Xu Youning could only comfort Su Jian’an. “Don’t be afraid. We are here too. I heard from the manager of the club that there seems to be a doctor in the club. Would you like to call the doctor to come over?”
“It’s okay.” Su Jian’an patted Xiangyi’s shoulder gently. “The doctor said that there would be no big problem if the symptoms were relieved.”
“Auntie Jian’an, let’s take the baby downstairs.” Mumu said, “She won’t feel uncomfortable if we watch her!”
Su Jian’an suddenly remembered something and smiled at Mumu. “Mumu, thank you for what you did just now.”
If Mumu hadn’t found it in time, maybe she wouldn’t notice that Xiangyi was suffering from the symptoms of asthma even until now. She could not imagine the consequences…
Mumu also smiled, and his eyes were full of child’s innocence. “I promised you that I would play with the babies and take care of them.”
“Yeah,” Su Jian’an nodded. “Then let’s go down.”
Xiyu was still sleeping. Although he didn’t cry at ordinary times, Su Jian’an recently found that Xiyu would be angry after getting up. When he woke up in the morning, he would cry for a while. If he was awakened, it would be a big problem, and he could turn half of the house upside down.
Xiangyi seemed to have recovered. She gradually stopped crying and leaned into her mother’s arms. Occasionally, she would act like a spoiled child.
In the living room, Su Jian’an sat on the sofa with her daughter in her arms, and Mumu climbed up to tease her.
Probably because she had become familiar with Mumu, Xiangyi responded with a smile this time.
Mumu instantly had confidence in himself and asked Su Jian’an, “Auntie Jian’an, can I hold the baby? If she cries, I will give her back to you right away!”
“Sure,” Su Jian’an said with a smile. “You sit down first.”
Mumu sat upright, and Su Jian’an put Xiangyi on his lap. He reached out and carefully hugged the little girl.
This time, Xiangyi was exceptionally obedient. She lay on Mumu’s lap, looking at her mother and then at Mumu, grinning like a little angel.
