Chapter 318: Acting Coquettish
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Song Ning’s lack of intimacy with the child made everyone confused and gave them a headache.
However, Song Ning did not seem unhappy that the child did not want her. Instead, she focused all of her attention on Mu Chen and clung to him.
What was strange was Mu Chen was not as affectionate with Song Ning as he used to be. Even Jiang Jin and Sister Yu noticed this.
In the past, Mu Chen would try his best to please Song Ning, and he would listen to Song Ning. He could not even take his eyes off Song Ning. On the contrary, Song Ning was usually very calm. Who knew the roles would be completely reversed? Now, Song Ning would try her best to please Mu Chen. When Mu Chen came home, her eyes would only be glued to Mu Chen. On the other hand, Mu Chen seemed rather cold when faced with Song Ning’s affection.
Jiang Jin was puzzled by this change. If their family was a family that valued sons over daughters, and Song Ning had given birth to a daughter, perhaps, that might cause a rift between Song Ning and Mu Chen. However, their family valued sons and daughters equally, and Song Ning had even given birth to a son. What was wrong then?
Sister Yu had speculated that Mu Chen’s change in behavior could be due to his expectation of having a little princess. Perhaps, this was the reason he was unhappy.
At that time, Jiang Jin said, “Do you think that’s possible? Based on his feelings for Song Ning, even if Song Ning gave birth to a dinosaur, Mu Chen would not even blink. To him, the most important person is his wife.”
After listening to Jiang Jin’s words, Sister Yu thought that Jiang Jin had a point.
In the end, both of them kept their suspicions in their hearts and decided to find a suitable time to ask Mu Chen about the matter.
Jiang Jin even wondered if Mu Chen had a lover outside. She was prepared to break Mu Chen’s leg if that was the case.
At this time, while Jiang Jin was still lost in her thoughts, Song Ning walked into the room after she finished her breakfast.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Jin handed the baby to Song Ning. “Carry the baby for a while. He’ll be asleep for another hour or so…”
Song Ning subconsciously took a step back before she forced herself to reach out and carry the child. She said, “Grandma, it’s better if you carry him. When I carry him…”
Before Song Ning could finish her words, the baby began to cry. In simple words, his voice was simply earth-shattering.
Song Ning’s expression changed, and she hurriedly stuffed the child into Sister Yu’s arms without thinking. “Does the baby have a grudge against me? Why does he start crying as soon as I hold him?”
Sister Yu held the baby and gently rocked and patted him as she coaxed him. “Baby, be good. Don’t cry.”
Jiang Jin reached out and carried the baby in her arms. She looked distressed as she said, “What’s wrong? Why won’t the baby let his biological mother hold him?”
Upon hearing these words, Song Ning’s expression changed immediately.
Jiang Jin looked down at the baby who was swaddled in cloth.
His big eyes were s.h.i.+ny from the tears and looked very bright. He waved his little fists and pouted.
Jiang Jin’s heart was overwhelmed with love when she looked at the baby. She said softly, “Baby, be good. Don’t cry. What’s there to cry about?”
Song Ning stepped forward at this moment and said, “Grandma, you can’t spoil him too much. I heard that crying is good for babies. It can train his lung capacity.”
Jiang Jin said angrily, “What are you talking about? How can a mother say such things? What training are you talking about? That’s torturing the baby!”
Song Ning smiled sheepishly. Then, she leaned down and acted coquettishly as she said, “Grandma, I’m really bored. The baby doesn’t want me, and Mu Chen isn’t home. Grandma, why don’t you speak to Mu Chen? He always says he’s busy.. What’s he so busy with? Why don’t you tell him to reduce his workload to accompany me and the baby?”
