Seeing Qin Yalan's obvious unease, He Chaoyang quickly explained, "Mom, you've misunderstood. Xin Xin is a child that Shu Ning and I rescued in Tang City. Her parents died in the earthquake. After being rescued, the child has been very attached to Shu Ning, and we couldn't find any other relatives for a while."
So Shuning and I discussed adopting Xinxin, and we were planning to go through the formal adoption procedures in the next couple of days.
After hearing the explanation, Qin Yalan visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt somewhat embarrassed for misunderstanding her son-in-law.
She changed her tone from harsh and stern to gentle and said, "Chaoyang, you see, Mom was just anxious and misunderstood you. It's Mom's fault."
He Chaoyang could understand his mother-in-law's feelings. If his own daughter had encountered such a thing, he wouldn't have tolerated it either.
So he quickly smiled and said, "Look at what you're saying, anyone would misunderstand if Xin Xin called me 'Mom' like that."
However, you can rest assured about this. When I met Shuning, I promised her that I would only have her in my life. So if I really had feelings for someone else, Shuning would not forgive me even without your help. How could she possibly let me bring back the child from outside?
To be honest, I was quite surprised when Xin Xin called out "Mom." The child hadn't spoken for over two months because of a fright, and I never expected her first word to be this.
Qin Yalan was a kind-hearted person. Now that she knew the child wasn't brought back by her son-in-law's affair, her original hostility towards the child was naturally replaced by pity.
"This child is also pitiful, losing his parents overnight. But with your busy work schedule, can Shuning take care of two children?"
As older people, we need to consider things more thoroughly and comprehensively than younger people.
It's understandable that Qin Yalan would have this concern. Chen Shuning is a first-time mother and has no experience in taking care of children. Now that she has to take care of two children, Qin Yalan is worried that Chen Shuning won't be able to handle it.
However, He Chaoyang had obviously considered this beforehand, and said with a smile, "It is indeed very hard for Shuning to take care of two children by herself, so Grandma plans to have the family's housekeeper come over."
Grandma often comes over to help take care of the child when she's not busy, and I'll gradually adjust my work focus to spend more time with Shuning and the child, so you don't need to worry.
