Chapter 138

After she had teased and played with the baby for a little bit, Lu Beichuan wouldn’t let her continue to hold the baby. He wanted her to lie down and rest.

Resigned, Ye Zhen could only reluctantly hand the baby back to Mother Lu.

As Lu Beichuan tucked in the corners of the blanket, he answered Ye Zhen’s earlier question, “Grandpa watched over the baby for a long time. I finally convinced him to go to take a rest. Don’t worry, the old butler is with him.”

Old Master Lu was already at a ripe old age, but he still wouldn’t accept it. He had stubbornly insisted on waiting to see his great-grandson. Once he was holding his great-grandson, he couldn’t bear to tear himself away. It was only when his body couldn’t take it anymore and protested that he allowed himself to be led away to rest.

Since the baby had woken up from his nap, Aunty Yue prepared the infant formula. Mother Lu held the baby in one hand while using the other hand to feed the baby formula milk. During this time, Mother Lu kept her son by her side while she went on and on about how to care for babies.

“The formula milk can’t be too hot. Before feeding the formula milk to the baby, you should test the temperature each time. And, the bottle should be at this angle when you’re feeding the baby…” Mother Lu trailed off and sighed. “Never mind, you’re busy with work and not home most of the day. You won’t be taking care of the baby past a few days anyways.”

Her daughter-in-law might as well be a widow with the amount of childcare support her son would provide.

When she had given birth to Beichuan, she had been alone in caring for him. Lu Shaoren would leave early and come home late. He continued his philandering lifestyle without sparing an iota of care for his newborn son. Although there were dedicated nannies in the household, Mother Lu didn’t feel secure leaving Lu Beichuan with them. She always carried little Beichuan around to personally care for him.

From Lu Beichuan’s childhood to adulthood, Mother Lu had felt very sorry for him. He didn’t have his father’s care. She felt that it was the lack of fatherly love in his childhood that caused Lu Beichuan to become a cold and indifferent person.

She didn’t want her newly born grandson to become like her son or to have to experience not having a father’s presence and protection from a young age.

“Tell me more.” Lu Beichuan glanced at Ye Zhen, who was lying down on the hospital bed. He quietly said, “I’ll take good care of this baby.”

Mother Lu paused before smiling.

In the end, he was the son that she, Lin Mei, had personally raised and taught. Luckily, he wasn’t as selfish as Lu Shaoren.

The warm, golden sunlight shone through the curtains. On the windowsill, there were a few pots of lovely, verdant evergreen plants. Lu Beichuan’s back was facing the windowsill. His gaze was serious and focused as he looked at the baby.

As Ye Zhen watched this heartwarming scene, her lips curved up into a satisfied smile. The more she looked at him, the more she felt that the sight of him listening to Mother Lu’s lecture was charmingly ascetic.

It was actually pretty good being the nominal Mrs. Lu, huh?

Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. A nurse pushed open the door and asked in a low voice, “Mr. Lu, there’s a couple at the nurses station. They said they’re Mrs. Lu’s parents, and they’re here to see their daughter.

It was only now that Ye Zhen noticed that she hadn’t seen the original owner’s parents after coming to the hospital.

Lu Beichuan nodded. “They can come in.”
