Chapter 535 [Actively Being a Babysitter]

Feeling Xin Che's unlimited indulgence towards her, Jiang Lili couldn't help but become spoiled: "Then you have to make porridge for me every day and feed me every day, and I will eat it."

Her voice was soft and a little lazy, like a kitten bossing its keeper around.

Xin Che nodded lovingly, a gentle smile on his lips: "Okay, as long as you don't get tired of it."

He gently put the spoon into her mouth and watched her swallow it in small sips, his heart filled with satisfaction.

There was a little porridge on Jiang Lili's lips. He reached out and gently wiped it off with his fingertips, his movements so gentle as if he was afraid of breaking her.

"Is it delicious?" he asked in a low voice, his eyes full of anticipation.

Jiang Lili pursed her lips, a sly look flashing in her eyes: "Not bad, if you coax me more, I'll eat a few more bites."

Xin Che couldn't help but laugh out loud, scratching Jiang Lili's small nose with his finger: "Why are you becoming more and more spoiled?"

His tone was full of doting, and the smile and tenderness in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows could not be hidden.

Xin Che's expression was focused and gentle. The warm light from outside the window of Xiaoxuan sprinkled on his profile, outlining his angular features, but could not hide the indelible tenderness in his eyes.

Hou Xiaoxiao and Guan Yue witnessed the porridge feeding process and grabbed each other's sleeves tightly. If Xin Che had not been here, they would have been so sweet that they would have screamed like groundhogs.

Hou Xiaoxiao pinched her fingers and said, "How come my brother-in-law is such a cold person, and he interacts so sweetly with Li Li?"

Guan Yue said firmly, "Because our class favorite, Li Li, is a sweet girl!"

"That makes perfect sense, I can't refute it!"

Hou Xiaoxiao nodded in agreement.

"I wonder if the baby born by the sweet girl will be a little melon~"

Guan Yue shrugged: "I don't know, as long as his personality isn't as icy as Xin Che's, it would be fine."

"I can't imagine a little adult with a straight face."

After Guan Yue's martial arts improved under Cheng Jiayu's guidance, his hearing also improved. He heard footsteps and quickly looked towards the door, only to see a group of busy people coming home from get off work (leaving court).

Walking at the front of the visiting relatives group, Xin Chong and Yang Wanyi, who were cared for and loved by their classmates, looked like office workers rushing home after get off work. They were full of class atmosphere, but could not hide the joy on their faces.

Guan Yue was cheerful as she moved the stool: "Ah, our two big bosses are here, thank you for your hard work in court!"

When Jiang Lili heard that Xin Chong and Yang Wanyi had come down from court to see her, she quickly stood up. Before she could tidy up her clothes, she heard hurried footsteps outside.

As soon as the curtain was lifted, Xin Chong and Yang Wanyi walked in.

Xin Chong was wearing a dark blue robe, his face serious but kind; Yang Wanyi was wearing a crimson jacket, her eyes full of tenderness.

Xin Che had been busy these days and hadn't seen his parents for several days. He greeted them with a faint smile on his face: "Dad and Mom, you're here."

However, Xin Chong and Yang Wanyi walked straight past Xin Che and came to Jiang Lili's bedside.

Xin Che, who was treated as air, shook his head helplessly and stood obediently beside Li Li's bed to make room for his anxious parents.

"Hurry up and sit down, hurry up and sit down." Yang Wanyi quickly stepped forward to support Jiang Lili. "I heard that you haven't had a good appetite recently, so I specially asked someone to bring some fresh candied fruits from Jiangnan."

Xin Chong stood aside, stroking his beard and said, "Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. We have so many people to take care of the government affairs, so you can rest assured."

"Especially Xue Wei, he's so caring and responsible!"

When Xin Chong said this, it felt like he was telling tales to Jiang Lili.

He blew his beard angrily and called out Xue Wei in a praising tone: "Comrade Xue knew that your mother and I were anxious to see you, yet he assigned us a heavy workload and said we could only visit you after we finished our homework. Isn't this bullying an old man?"

Jiang Lili glanced at the student council member who was named, and a smile spread across her face.

Xue Wei scratched his head embarrassedly: "I'm just worried that you'll be too happy and forget about your studies."

Yang Wanyi also smiled kindly: "Hey, didn't Li Li say that Comrade Xiao Xue is the study committee member? Let's just listen to the study committee member."

There was another noise outside. My brother-in-law Xin Cheng came in carrying a delicate crib, followed by his wife Chen Fulan.

"Sister-in-law, please look." Xin Cheng placed the crib on the floor and wiped the sweat from his forehead. "I made this specially for you. It's made of the finest rosewood, and the edges are polished to perfection. It won't hurt the baby at all."

Jiang Lili sat up and took a closer look. She saw auspicious cloud patterns carved into the bed rails, and silver bells hanging from the corners. Most strikingly, there was an ingenious mechanism at the head of the bed, connected to two thin copper wires: one tied with a red ribbon, the other with a blue ribbon.

"This is......"

"This is the mechanical bell I designed."

Xin Cheng's eyes sparkled with excitement when he mentioned the mechanism he designed. "As long as my sister-in-law pulls these two ropes, the bell will ring and trigger the mechanism in the pigeon house."

"I've trained the pigeons. When I pull the copper wires tied with red and blue ribbons, they will fly to my eldest brother's martial arts training ground and the Imperial Hospital of Brother Qi Yun, respectively."

Although there is a group chat system, Qi Yun is very busy now and is not often in the Imperial Hospital. There are other imperial doctors on duty in the Imperial Hospital.

Sister-in-law Chen Fulan smiled and said, "He has been staying up all night for this."

Jiang Lili reached out and gently stroked the smooth railings of the crib, and her eyes couldn't help but become moist.

Yang Wanyi took Jiang Lili's hand and sat down, gently patting the back of her hand: "Don't worry, our child will be born safely."

"I have discussed this with Lord Qi and have asked Shan Yi Tang to invite a group of experienced female doctors to stay in your palace in a few days."

Xue Wei also said, "Li Li, just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. We'll take care of everything now. You don't have to worry. Our entire class is here to support you."

Yan Chaoyue and Xin Ningyu also came over at this time. Hearing this, they said loudly: "Besides, we are now self-sufficient and strong. We don't need to trouble you to carry baskets and red envelopes for support."

"As long as you give birth to the baby safely, our entire class will protect you throughout the entire process!"

"After the confinement period, you won't have to take care of the baby anymore. Our class will take turns taking care of the baby. If you want to go out and travel or have a good rest, it's up to you! You'll be completely free."

Hou Xiaoxiao glanced at the very enthusiastic Yan Chaoyue and said, "Why do I hear you seem particularly interested in being Li Li's nanny?"

Yan Chaoyue scratched his head embarrassedly: "I just want to learn from her experience in advance, so that I can better take care of our Valkyrie and try to train a few more little gods."

"Come on! I'll be thankful if my child doesn't inherit your cowardly personality."

Xin Ningyu hit Yan Chaoyue hard.
