How old is your baby?
Grandma Gu sat on the sofa, holding Xiao Anman in her arms, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.
Xiao Anman nestled in Grandma Gu's arms, glanced at her little hands, then at the old lady and Gu Xuexi beside her, and remained silent.
Daddy said she's a three-year-old.
Grandma Gu didn't think there was anything wrong with Xiao Anman's quietness; on the contrary, she found herself increasingly able to connect her with Gu Tingxiao when he was a child.
Gu Tingxiao was a precocious child. He didn't like to communicate with others, but he understood everything in his heart.
"Xuexi, doesn't she look like Tingxiao?"
The soft little body in her arms smelled of milk, and Grandma Gu turned her head and asked with a smile.
Whether it looks similar or not, it's really hard to tell.
But this child was so good-looking, especially his big, dark eyes.
Seeing this makes me want to raise a little dumpling like this right now.
“Our children are even prettier than Tingxiao was when he was little.”
Who wouldn't love such a jade doll carved from crystal and white jade?
Judging from this, Grandma has already accepted the child, so there's no need for me to be the bad guy at this time. I might as well go along with what the old lady says.
“I think so too. This child is just right for me, and he should be our Gu family’s child.”
Grandma Gu hugged Xiao Anman, feeling incredibly comfortable and at ease. All the worries she had before seeing Xiao Anman had vanished.
"Baby, would you like something to eat?"
Grandma Gu was comforting little Anman in her arms.
Xiao Anman, who had just eaten a hearty breakfast before coming, nodded without hesitation.
What did we say earlier? If you ask her if she wants to eat, our Anzaizai will never shake her head, okay?
Seeing that she wanted to eat, the old lady smiled and said, "Okay, Great-Grandma will have them prepare it right away."
"Prepare more good food for the baby, something easy to digest. Children have weak stomachs, so you can't put anything irritating in it."
"Yes, Madam."
Servants immediately went to prepare.
"Can I have a hug, baby?"
Gu Xuexi, who was standing by, couldn't help but feel a little restless.
It's so tempting not to be able to hold and kiss such a well-behaved child in my arms.
Xiao Anman turned her head and glanced at Gu Xuexi.
Daddy said that everyone here is their family.
"Baby, let me hug you, and I'll give you this, okay?"
Gu Xuexi took off a beautifully crafted jade pendant from her neck. The jade pendant looked lush and vibrant, with excellent color and texture. Jewelry worn by Gu Xuexi must be quite valuable.
Xiao Anman's eyes lit up immediately; she seemed to really like the jade pendant.
Grandma Gu noticed Xiao Anman's expression and took the jade pendant from Gu Xuexi's hand: "Does our little darling like this jade pendant? Here, for our darling."
Xiao Anman glanced at the jade pendant that Old Madam Gu had stuffed into her hand, then at Gu Xuexi who was looking at her with affection, wondering how she had received such a gift.
However, once this thing gets into her hands, it won't be so easy to get it back.
Gu Tingxiao's pair of sapphire cufflinks are still lying in the drawer of her small room.
She really liked the gift.
Then Gu Xuexi saw the little dumpling in Grandma Gu's arms gently rub against Grandma Gu's cheek, a sweet smile on its lips.
Hey, this little guy.
You received your own things, but thanked the old lady, right?
Gu Xuexi was amused: "Grandma, you're absolutely right. This little guy really is just like Tingxiao when he was little, so clever and shrewd. He knows that you're the one who can make the decisions."
"I just felt that this child was right up my alley; she's exactly the kind of person we, the Gu family, would like. Otherwise, why would I like her so much the moment I saw her? Don't you feel the same way?"
The old lady felt a warm glow in her heart as Xiao An's tender little face rubbed against her.
"Grandma, since you've said so, then this little guy must be a member of our Gu family."
Gu Xuexi gave away a jade pendant for nothing, but she didn't feel any heartache. On the contrary, she liked Xiao Anman even more.
The Gu family has the means to open several adoption centers, but how many of them can truly win the favor of the Gu family matriarch?
With Xiao Anman being so popular with the old lady, and with Gu Tingxiao as a powerful backer, Gu Xuexi felt that this little guy was definitely going to stay in the Gu family.
"We haven't seen a girl in our family for a long time. An'an is so adorable and will be our Gu family's little princess from now on."
Seeing how warmly the old lady treated Xiao Anman, Gu Xuexi didn't think there was anything wrong with her description of her as a little princess.
Sure enough, the old lady didn't refute it; instead, she agreed, saying, "From now on, An'an will be our Gu family's little princess, right, little darling?"
Little Anman, who was holding Pei Cuiyu's pendant in her tiny paws, heard a new term again.
Little princess.
What is a little princess?
An'an is just Daddy's little baby.
"Madam, the meal is ready."
"Bring it up."
"yes."
Since it wasn't a regular mealtime, they didn't need to go to the restaurant; they simply brought over the food they had prepared for Xiao Anman.
"Come here, baby, which one do you want? Great-Grandma will get it for you."
The kitchen in the Gu family mansion is staffed with master chefs with top-notch skills. Knowing that the old lady was going to prepare food for the young lady that Mr. Gu was bringing back, they naturally prepared everything with great care.
Having learned that the young lady was only three or four years old, the old lady had specifically instructed her to avoid any spicy or irritating foods, which shows how much importance she placed on the matter.
The chefs considered both variety and taste, creating more than ten different dishes, each with beautiful colors and even better flavor.
But An'an eats by herself at home; she doesn't need anyone to feed her.
Xiao Anman simply put the jade pendants she was holding in her two small hands into one hand, and then stubbornly picked up the silver-flowered spoon that was placed on the table.
"Does our baby want to eat by himself?"
Seeing her pick up the silver-flowered spoon like a little adult, Grandma Gu was extremely fond of it.
Xiao An nodded, indicating that she wanted to eat the duck herself.
"Wow, this one is definitely someone with her own opinions, just like Tingxiao."
At this moment, Gu Xuexi, who was already a little shaken, was starting to doubt whether the little dumpling in front of her was really born secretly by Gu Tingxiao without his family's knowledge.
It's amazing that such a young child can stick to his own ideas; most children wouldn't do that.
The old lady nodded in agreement.
"Okay, then our baby can eat by himself, eat whatever he wants."
When people get old, they become like children again. When they are with little kids, they don't feel any generation gap at all. Although Xiao Anman's action was a way of refusing her help to feed her, the old lady was still very happy to see her.
She watched as Xiao Anman picked up a spoon and scooped the steamed egg custard that was placed at the front, and she even pushed the bowl of egg custard towards Xiao Anman.
