Chapter 445: Grandma and Baby's Relationship

An hour later, the carved iron gate of Tanxi Garden slowly opened, and two black cars drove into the courtyard one after another.

Ning Zhi and Mo Chenfeng each got out of the car holding a baby wrapped in a soft cashmere blanket. The coolness of the autumn night made the two elders spontaneously hold the children in their arms.

The restaurant at Tanxiyuan was brightly lit, and the warm light reflected from the crystal chandelier danced on the silver tableware.

The eighteen dishes that Yun Zheng specifically instructed the kitchen to prepare were arranged in an orderly manner, with four exquisite Jiangnan dishes in the most prominent positions.

The crab meat lion head is golden and shiny, the Longjing shrimp is emerald-colored, and there are also slow-cooked pickled pork with preserved vegetables and candied lotus root garnished with osmanthus honey.

"Mom and Dad, I don't know what you like to eat, so I asked the kitchen to prepare some more."

Yun Zheng explained softly, her fingertips unconsciously rubbing the rim of the bone china bowl. "I thought Jiangnan cuisine is milder, and I think you might like it."

Ning Zhi's gaze lingered for a moment on the candied lotus root, a traditional Suzhou dessert.

Little Yunshu in her arms suddenly babbled, and her chubby little hands slapped the solid wooden armrests of the special dining chair, and the silver bell on her wrist made a crisp sound.

"This child is really energetic." Ning Zhi observed her granddaughter carefully, with restrained fondness in her tone.

She picked up the silicone spoon, her movements a little clumsy. "Here, try this."

Her heart tightened, and she whispered, "Mom, please eat something first. I'll feed the child."

Ning Zhi paused, a complex emotion flashing in her eyes, but she still handed the spoon to Yun Zheng, "Okay... You know their habits better."

On the other side, Mo Chenfeng sat upright, glancing at Xiao Yunyi from time to time.

The little boy sat quietly, his big black eyes curiously looking at his unfamiliar grandfather.

"What does he like to eat?" Mo Chenfeng asked, his voice much softer than usual.

Fu Linghe pushed the prepared rice porridge over and said, "Xiaoyi likes pumpkin flavor, but he eats it slowly."

Mo Chenfeng nodded and scooped a small spoonful and handed it to the child.

Little Yunyi didn't open his mouth immediately, but looked at his father first. After receiving Fu Linghe's encouraging look, he took a cautious bite.

"He's very cautious." Mo Chenfeng commented, his tone tinged with admiration, "Just like us Mo family members."

Yun Zheng looked at the two children in their parents' arms lovingly, with the corners of her lips slightly curled up.

After dinner, Ning Zhi took out two exquisite gift boxes from her carry-on luggage. "These are gifts for my two babies."

Inside the box were two finely crafted longevity locks made of pure gold, each engraved with the characters "Shu" and "Yi".

When Yun Zheng took it, she found that the date of their birth was engraved on the back of the lock.

"It's very beautiful. Thank you, Mom and Dad." Yun Zheng said sincerely and helped the two children put them on.

Little Yunshu immediately grabbed the golden lock and stuffed it into his mouth, but was stopped in time by Yun Zheng.

"Keep it safe and wait until they grow up before wearing it." Ning Zhi said quickly, but her eyes followed her granddaughter's every move.

Mo Chenfeng stood a little further away, watching his wife want to hug him but not dare to reach out, and coughed lightly, "Isn't it time for the children to rest?"

Fu Linghe looked at his watch. "It's still early. They usually go to bed at ten o'clock."

"Then... can I still hug them now?" Ning Zhi finally couldn't help asking, with cautious expectation in her voice.

After getting her consent, she held little Yunshu in her arms as if she were a treasure.

The little girl became interested in the smell of her grandmother's perfume. She leaned in to sniff it and sneezed cutely.

"Oh, is grandma's perfume too strong?" Ning Zhi was suddenly at a loss.

She took care of the two babies for a while when they were just born.

It’s just that she has been separated from her two little babies for a long time now, and she still doesn’t know how to take care of a 6-month-old baby.

Yun Zheng shook her head. "She's just curious about the new smell."

She paused, then added, "You smell wonderful."

This simple comment made Ning Zhi's eyes red instantly.

She lowered her head and sniffed the fragrance of her granddaughter's hair to cover up her gaffe.

On the other side, Mo Chenfeng tried to interact with Xiao Yunyi.

He took out a pen and drew a stick figure bird on the notepad.

The little boy opened his eyes wide, pointed at the pattern with his little hand and exclaimed "Ah".

"Do you like it?" Mo Chenfeng's voice softened unconsciously and he drew another small flower.

Little Yunyi watched intently, and suddenly reached out to grab his grandfather's fingers. The force was very light, but it made this man who was decisive and ruthless in the business world freeze instantly.

Fu Linghe pressed the shutter button at the right time to record this precious moment.

In the photo, Mo Chenfeng's usually serious face was incredibly gentle.

When Mo Shian was the same age as the two children, he had just taken over the company and had little time to accompany them.

When Yun Zheng was a child... he had no involvement at all.

As for Mo Xinrou, he could only reluctantly fulfill his fatherly duties towards the child who had no blood relationship with him, without showing any concern for her.

So he had no experience at all with a 6-month-old baby.

At ten o'clock in the evening, the two children finally began to rub their eyes.

Yun Zheng and Fu Linghe skillfully bathed them and changed them into pajamas. Ning Zhi and Mo Chenfeng stood at the door of the baby's room, quietly observing this parenting process that they had no part in establishing.

When the two children were placed in their cribs, Ning Zhi suddenly whispered, "Zheng Zheng, can we take care of them together tomorrow?"

Yun Zheng turned her head and saw the anticipation and anxiety flashing in her mother's eyes.

She nodded. "Of course, they wake up at seven in the morning."

"We will be there on time." Mo Chenfeng immediately assured, with a rare eagerness in his voice.

After leaving the nursery, Ning Zhi suddenly grabbed Yun Zheng's hand and said, "Thank you for letting us participate in the child's life."

Her hands trembled slightly. "We missed you so much, but..."

"Mom," Yun Zheng interrupted her softly, "It's not too late to start now."

Fu Linghe handed over the hot tea at the right time. When Mo Chenfeng took it, the business tycoon's hand was a little unsteady.

The four of them chatted in the living room for a long time and gradually forgot about the time.

It was late at night, and the two elders did not return to their own villa, but were arranged to stay in the best guest rooms.

Ning Zhi walked forward and gently hugged Yun Zheng, "Good night, Zheng Zheng."

This restrained goodnight hug made Yun Zheng's heart warmer than any passionate expression.

When it was late at night and everyone was asleep, the light in the master bedroom of Tanxiyuan was still on.

Ning Zhi stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the swaying bamboo shadows in the courtyard, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the cuffs of her nightgown.

Mo Chenfeng had just finished taking a shower when he saw Ning Zhi standing by the window in a daze, "Why aren't you sleeping yet?"

Ning Zhi turned to look at him and said, "I'm not sleepy."

Mo Chenfeng put his arm around her waist from behind and said softly, "You have to go to bed even if you are not sleepy. We still have to discuss the children's wedding with our in-laws tomorrow."

Ning Zhi nodded slightly and lay down on the bed.
