Chapter 158 – I don’t have any clothes that’s suitable for you to wear (2)

Ye Zhen looked at the fair-skinned and chubby baby that was sleeping soundly in the crib. The sweet smell of milk permeated the space he was in. She couldn’t resist leaning over and kissing him.

It was a very light kiss, but the baby woke up from it.

He didn’t cry or fuss. He stretched out his little legs and his big eyes looked around until they settled on Ye Zhen without wavering. He reached out towards her and babbled.

“Want mom to hold you?”

The baby’s little legs moved around more actively.

On the side, one of the nannies said with a smile, “Mrs. Lu, Young Master is usually very quiet. He doesn’t cry or throw a tantrum. He’s the most well-behaved baby that I’ve ever seen.”

“Did you hear that?” Ye Zhen teased Zhouzhou, “She’s praising you. You’re a good baby. Don’t pull on mom’s hair again.”

Zhouzhou kicked his feet. He seemed increasingly anxious and his babbling increased in volume.

Ye Zhen picked up the baby, gently patted his back, and headed downstairs.

When the people in the side hall saw Ye Zhen coming downstairs with the baby, they all looked up. The baby in the swaddling clothes looked cute and beautiful. He wasn’t scared of strangers and looked at everyone with his big eyes. He would look straight at you, so cute and well-behaved. Truly, a very likeable baby.

There was an unending stream of praises. Everyone took this opportunity to take out the presents they had prepared for the baby. It didn’t take long for this little baby to receive a lot of gifts.

In contrast, Shen Weiyin was standing at the side and quietly observing. She only looked at the baby for a few seconds and didn’t look very happy to see him. Her expression was faint, and it was hard to tell what she was thinking.

One of the Lu family’s maids brought over a glass of juice for Shen Weiyin. A moment of carelessness when Shen Weiyin took the glass and she ended up spilling most of the juice on her white dress. The maid cried out in alarm and tried to wipe off the juice with her sleeve. Most of the eyes in the side hall turned to look at Shen Weiyin.

Shen Weiyin didn’t get upset that her perfectly nice dress had gotten stained. She faintly smiled and comforted the maid that kept apologizing.

“Aunty, do you have any extra clothes? I…”

“Yes. Zhenzhen ah, go find clothes that haven’t been worn yet for Weiyin.” Mother Lu patted Ye Zhen’s hand and whispered, “You’re the host today. Don’t lose face.”

Ye Zhen understood her meaning. She stood up, led Shen Weiyin to her room on the second floor, and chose a blue dress that she hadn’t worn before.

Shen Weiyin went into the bathroom and changed into the new dress. When she came out, she went to the dressing mirror and looked at her reflection from different angles. “Miss Ye, this dress is quite suitable for me. It looks like it was custom-made for me.”

This woman was a deep and shrewd schemer and wouldn’t be easy to deal with. Ye Zhen didn’t want to bother with engaging in mind games with her.

“It’s good that it fits you. Let’s go downstairs.”

“Miss Ye…”

Ye Zhen corrected her, “Please address me as Mrs. Lu. We should go downstairs.”

However, Shen Weiyin stood still. She looked at Ye Zhen through the mirror. “I forgot to congratulate you. You successfully gave birth to Lu family’s next heir. Now you can rest easy in the future.”

Ye Zhen furrowed her brow. Why did Shen Weiyin say these words in such a provoking tone? Shen Weiyin was someone that had been in the entertainment circle for a long time. Her words had thorns in them and none of it was pleasant to hear.

Ye Zhen didn’t feel like bickering with her. She raised her foot and walked towards the door.

“However, what I don’t understand is, your son’s first lunar month birthday should be a big event. Why was it so carelessly handled by having it at home instead of arranging an extravagant affair with no expenses spared?”

Ye Zhen looked at her with a smile. “So Miss Shen thinks our Lu family’s celebration is a shabby disgrace. That’s okay. I’ll escort you out then.”
