Shen Qiaoyue originally didn't want to accept it, but this morning, her mother asked Lu Chen again and learned that the name was good, so she immediately agreed.

“I agree. This child is so cute, chubby and adorable, both on and off the New Year.” After saying that, Shen Yuanyi looked at Li Xiaoxiao and said, “Xiaoxiao, you can call him Lu Chen from now on. Let’s save his nickname for the child, okay?”

"Mmm." Li Xiaoxiao quickly agreed and nodded.

The child's name was chosen by the father, and the maternal grandmother also liked it, so what objection could this maternal aunt possibly have?

Jiang Mingjing held his granddaughter, his smile never fading.

Jiang Jinyao sighed, "It's over, Qiaoyue. You've successfully become just like me, with a wicked grandmother."

Shen Qiaoyue looked at Jiang Jinyao with suspicion, wondering why she had said those things.

Now I remember, Jiang Jinyao's mother got divorced because of Old Mrs. Jiang.

Shen Qiaoyue was immediately at a loss; she had heard that this old lady was not easy to deal with!

When Lu Chen heard what Jiang Jinyao said, he looked down at his wife and saw that her expression was not very good.

"Qiaoyue is my wife, and I won't let her be bullied by others." After Lu Chen finished speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Jiang Mingjing.

Jiang Mingjing was neither angry nor did he say anything. Considering his mother's attitude, it was reasonable for Lu Chen not to want to return to the Jiang family.

"Old Mrs. Jiang is notorious for her arrogance and domineering nature. Just thinking about her makes me feel scared." Jiang Jinyao always felt indignant for her mother whenever she mentioned the old woman.

The kind that gets angrier the more you bring it up.

"Jiang Jinjing was raised with that kind of personality by her, ruining her own future!"

An Lude had been standing silently to the side, but when Jiang Jinyao spoke up, he immediately patted her hand gently as a reminder.

Jiang Jinyao stopped talking.

Seeing that Jiang Mingjing, who was holding his granddaughter, didn't seem to be scolding her, she breathed a sigh of relief.

"Auntie, can I hold the children?" Shen Qiaoyue stretched out her arms, gazing longingly at the two children.

Upon hearing Shen Qiaoyue's request, Li Xiaoxiao bent down and handed the child to Shen Qiaoyue.

"Oh, my good baby!" Shen Qiaoyue looked down at her son Danian, beaming with joy.

So this is what it looks like when you look at your own child.

There is an indescribable feeling of happiness.

The little boy is fair-skinned and tender, and he likes to stick his tongue out when he sleeps.

"Mom, is it okay to stick out your tongue on New Year's Day?" Shen Qiaoyue asked her mother, Chu Wanfang, anxiously.

"The child is fine. The doctor checked him and he only vomited a little bit. He'll stop sticking out his tongue in a few days," Chu Wanfang explained, speaking from experience.

Hearing her mother's words, Shen Qiaoyue finally felt at ease.

After holding Da Nian for a while, she handed the child to her maternal grandmother and then reached out to hold her younger daughter.

This little girl was all wrinkled, which broke Shen Qiaoyue's heart.

But this is her and Lu Chen's child, and she loves him no matter how she looks at him.

After chatting for a while, Chu Wanfang went home to the family compound to cook for Shen Qiaoyue, while Li Xiaoxiao stayed in the ward to take care of Shen Qiaoyue.

Jiang Mingjing and Shen Yuanyi were summoned away by their superiors.

Shen Qiaoyue dotes on her daughter, and smiles frequently when she holds her.

"Qiaoyue, are you biased towards your daughter? You haven't let go of her since you started holding her." Jiang Jinyao was holding Danian, but she got tired and let Li Xiaoxiao hold her instead.

“How could that be? I just think Xiao Nian looks more like her father, right?” Shen Qiaoyue explained while looking at Lu Chen.

Upon seeing his daughter, Lu Chen smiled and nodded, "Yes, Xiao Nian looks just like me."

Lu Chen reached out his hand to hold the child.

"No, your hand is still injured. Xinlan said you're not allowed to hold the baby." Shen Qiaoyue saw Lu Chen staring at her daughter and wanted to hold the child.

Shen Qiaoyue spoke to Lu Chen very seriously.

"Honey, it's just a hug, nothing will happen," Lu Chen explained.

When Li Xiaoxiao heard that Lu Chen was injured, she asked worriedly, "Injured? What happened?"

"Auntie, Lu Chen was injured while on a mission, but it's nothing serious. He just can't lift heavy objects," Shen Qiaoyue quickly explained.

"Yes, godmother, I'm fine." Although Lu Chen was someone Jiang Mingjing couldn't call "father."

However, Lu Chen still respected and appreciated Li Xiaoxiao, and he could still bring himself to call her "godmother."

"It's alright, it's alright." Li Xiaoxiao breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking down at her child, she smiled and said, "Da Nian's eyebrows resemble his mother's more! Xiao Nian looks like Lu Chen! Lu Chen looks more like his mother!"

Li Xiaoxiao looked at Lu Chen, and her eyes inexplicably revealed a look of guilt.

Shen Qiaoyue reached out and took Li Xiaoxiao's hand, comforting her, "Auntie, everything is over now, you should look forward."

"Yes, godmother, if Mother were alive, she would be happy to know that you are still alive. Mother doesn't want you to live with self-blame. You have already worked very hard for Mother and for everyone."

Lu Chen tried to comfort people in the same way as Shen Qiaoyue.

“Godmother, I am happy and content now, and my mother will be very happy too. You must take good care of yourself,” Lu Chen said again.

“Auntie, your second uncle has been looking for you for many years. He never thought about getting married. He really loves you and likes you very much. He has never given up on you. Now that you are back, your second uncle’s face is full of smiles.”

This was the first time Shen Qiaoyue had ever seen her second uncle treat someone so gently.

Li Xiaoxiao knew that Shen Yuanyi had been searching for her for half his life.
