Shortly afterward, the door opened again and Ye Xin walked in with a gloomy expression. She heard Liang Zhou saying, “Baby, let’s see if Mommy and Daddy’s bathroom is bigger or your bathroom is bigger.”
When Ye Xin turned to look, Liang Zhou was holding the baby’s hand and gently speaking to the baby.
No one could tell how Liang Zhou felt as though her heart was going to leap out of her chest at this moment.
Ye Xin asked pointedly, “What are all of you doing in my room?”
Sister Yu remained calm as she turned around and said with a smile, “The baby just drank milk and is rather excited. So I decided to show him every room. He likes it when we talk to him.”
It took a lot for Ye Xin to get her expression under control. When she finally did, she reached out and held the baby’s hand gently as she cooed, “Is my baby very happy today?”
The baby blinked his big eyes and stared at Ye Xin for a moment before he pulled his hand out of her grip. Then, he turned to look at Liang Zhou and giggled happily.
Liang Zhou’s heart softened. Her heart felt as though it was going to turn into mush when the baby smiled at her. Tears almost fell down her face. She had carried the baby, the lifeblood of the Mu family, out of the fire at the hospital, and he was smiling at her.
Liang Zhou raised her hand, which was trembling slightly. She suddenly hesitated to touch the baby. After all, the baby was so precious, and she did not dare to touch him. She did not expect the baby would suddenly reach out and grab her finger.
The baby giggled again.
Sister Yu smiled upon seeing this before she said, “Alright, let’s go. Baby, we’ll let Grandma Zhou lead us to the next room, okay?”
None of them paid attention to Ye Xin or her unsightly expression. The trio left the room together.
Liang Zhou’s heart finally began to beat normally. Her entire body was drenched in sweat. However, she did not care about it. Right now, all her attention was focused on the soft and cute baby.
Sister Yu looked at the baby but she said, “Does Grandma Zhou want to hug the baby?”
Liang Zhou looked at Sister Yu in shock. “I… I can hold him?”
Sister Yu adjusted the baby’s position before handing him over to Liang Zhou. She said with a smile, “You carried him out of the fire, after all. He’ll definitely remember this life-saving grace for the rest of his life. I believe his Grandma Zhou will protect him forever as well.”
Liang Zhou held the baby with so much care that it looked as though she was carrying the world’s most priceless treasure.
The baby smiled and placed his hands on Liang Zhou’s face.
Tears brimmed in Liang Zhou’s eyes immediately. She held the baby as she murmured, “Grandma will protect you forever. You’ll be safe and sound for the rest of your life.”
When Liang Zhou saw her tears were dropping onto the baby’s clothes, she handed him back to Sister Yu with an apologetic expression. She tried hard to smile as she said, “The baby is much heavier now compared to when he was born.”
Sister Yu knew Liang Zhou was overwhelmed by the favor. She acted naturally as she took the baby from Liang Zhou. Then, she said with a smile, “The baby is still growing, after all. The Old Madam has said that the baby suffered when he was born so he needs more people to protect him. You have fate with him. Moreover, you’re the one who carried him out of the hospital during the fire. Madam said this life-saving act shouldn’t be forgotten.”
Liang Zhou could not help but cry. “It’s not worth mentioning. It’s something I should do.”
Sister Yu smiled and said softly, “The Young Madam is busy with her career and can’t look after the baby. If you’re free, you should come over and play with him. As the baby grows older, he’ll need more people to play with him. It’s good for his mental development as well.”
Liang Zhou nodded repeatedly. “Alright!”
Sister Yu looked at Liang Zhou’s handbag meaningfully before she said, “You’re busy today so I won’t keep you.. The baby will wait for you to come and visit him when you’re free.”
