Chapter 561 My Mother in This Life
Helian Jiao could sense her kindness and sincerity, so she said in a mature tone but in a childish voice, "I accept you as my mother in this life!"
After saying that, she raised her chubby little hand, covered her mouth, and yawned slightly, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Go to sleep if you're tired!"
Lu Xiaofen gently patted the quilt and sang a lullaby to lull her to sleep.
Her voice was soft and melodious, and under the clear light, her profile was full of tenderness, with her eyes shining with maternal love.
Helian Jiao closed her eyes, and her breathing quickly became steady and long.
Chen Jianjun stood silently by, watching, a thought stirring in his mind.
After the baby fell asleep, Lu Xiaofen carefully tucked the blanket in again before quietly leaving the room with Chen Jianjun.

Family-oriented.
Jiang Manyun asked in a low voice, "Son, you met your Uncle Jianjun's girlfriend today. What did you think of her? Is she a good person?"
Children are often more perceptive of a person's inner thoughts than adults, and her son is particularly keen in this regard.
“She’s a kind auntie, she should treat the baby very well.” Gu Tingyun said in a serious tone, like a little adult.
Jiang Manyun felt relieved after hearing him say that.
"Son, I've bought the train tickets back to the capital. We can go home in a couple of days. Aren't you happy?"
Gu Tingyun replied in a flat, monotone voice, "Yes, I'm happy."
Jiang Manyun raised her hand and ruffled his hair, laughing and scolding, "You brat! You're just fooling your mother again!"
Her son only becomes slightly cute when he's playing with his darling.
Gu Tingyun's two strands of hair were ruffled and stuck up, making her look a little dazed.
But he couldn't see it himself, and he even put on a serious face and acted mature, which made Jiang Manyun and Gu Qingshan very happy.
Jiang Manyun tried hard to suppress her laughter and said, "I haven't told Grandpa yet that my little darling is going to the capital too. He'll be so surprised and happy to see her. And with her coming along, the train journey will be so much more fun!"
Otherwise, the two of them, mother and son, would definitely get bored after so many days.
The brat is quiet and doesn't talk much. He just reads by himself on the train, which is quite boring.
My baby is different; she's lively, cute, and has a sweet tongue—she's so lovable!
Young Master Gu nodded in agreement with the last sentence.
Although he doesn't find reading or train travel boring, he doesn't find being with his sweetheart boring, even if they do nothing.

The day before departing for the capital, Ma Xiulian packed her baby's luggage in the room.
"The capital is further north, and it's colder than here, so you'll need to bring a thick coat."
"No, we won't be back for another two weeks. If it gets warmer by then, we might make you sweat and catch a cold. Bring a light jacket as a backup."
"Oh right! I also need to bring some beef jerky and canned beef, so I can eat them if I get hungry on the road!"
...
Afraid that her granddaughter would get cold, hungry, or bored, she stuffed all sorts of food, toys, and clothes into her luggage bag.
Even after she had filled the military travel bag that Chen Jianjun had brought back to the brim, she was still scanning the room: "Sweetie, do you want to bring the building blocks too? It'll be several days by train, and you can play with the building blocks with Tingyun if you get bored on the way."
"Yes!" Helian Jiao jumped up and down on the bed, her little voice cheerful.
Ma Xiulian replied, "Then bring the Go set as well."
Helian Jiao: "Okay!"
Seeing that her travel bag was full, Ma Xiulian took everything out and rearranged it before putting it back in.
