Chapter 190.1
Editor: Jodi
Lin An Lan suddenly came to a realization—that’s right, the baby had been crying so loudly just now, but he had suddenly stopped.
The nanny smiled, “It must be that this little one likes you, that’s why he stopped crying when you held him.”
Lin An Lan chuckled, “Is there really such a thing?”
He didn’t often interact with children this young, so hearing the nanny say this and looking down at the wide-eyed little one who was staring at him so seriously, his heart couldn’t help but soften a little.
The nanny replied, “Definitely. Kids have their likes and dislikes too and behave well in front of people they like.”
Tilting his head, Lin An Lan teased the baby in front of him, “Do you like me?”
The baby blinked and sucked on his little hand, the expression on his face completely innocent.
Cheng Yu laughed, “He doesn’t understand what you’re saying.”
“Then, do you like me?” Lin An Lan turned to ask him.
Cheng Yu wrapped his arm around his shoulders, “Of course I do.”
Then he kissed him on the cheek, “Who wouldn’t like you?”
Lin An Lan thought to himself, Cheng Yu probably had a filter that was eight hundred meters thick when it came to him. He wasn’t RMB, so it was impossible for everyone to like him. Even if he were, there would be some who wouldn’t like him.
However he didn’t care. It was enough as long as Cheng Yu liked him.
He handed the baby over to him, “You hold him.”
Cheng Yu took the child hurriedly, cradling him carefully as he asked uncertainly, “Am I holding him right?”
“I don’t know either.” Lin An Lan was also a little confused. “I just saw the nanny holding him like that earlier.”
“Yes, yes.” The nanny confirmed. “That’s exactly how you hold him.”
Cheng Yu sighed as he looked down at the small child in his arms. He was really so tiny and soft. It made him feel as though if he used even the least bit of strength, he would make him cry.
He held the child gingerly, but fortunately, the baby was still calm, just watching him obediently without fussing or crying.
The nanny was surprised, “That’s really something. As soon as you two came, he stopped crying.”
Cheng Yu thought in his heart, maybe it was because the baby liked lively environments, so with more people in the room, he felt more at ease.
Or perhaps it was that he hadn’t been fully awake earlier, so now that he had been passed around a bit, he was fully awake and had settled down.
Cheng Yu smiled at the baby, rocked him gently for a moment, then gave him back to the nanny.
“You take care of him. We’re going to rest.”
“Alright.”
The nanny cooed softly to the baby, “Baby, say goodbye to your uncles, wave bye-bye.”
However since the baby couldn’t speak yet, the nanny took one of his tiny hands and waved it for him.
His little hand looked soft, white, and tender, with a small silver bracelet— completely adorable.
Lin An Lan waved back at the baby before leaving the room with Cheng Yu.
“That’s the baby, right?” Lin An Lan asked.
Cheng Yu nodded, “It should be.”
“He’s pretty cute.”
“Do you like him?” Cheng Yu asked him.
Lin An Lan nodded slightly, “En, he’s so small and cute.”
“Then you can probably guess what my dad was hinting at earlier.”
“En, but it’s not just your dad’s idea. It’s probably your grandpa’s as well. They want us to raise this child.”
“Are you willing to?” Cheng Yu asked softly.
Lin An Lan turned to look at him, “Didn’t I already tell you? Whether it’s adopting a child from your family or adopting one ourselves, I’m willing. We’re going to have a child eventually, it’s just that we can’t have one ourselves, so there are only two options. Your dad and grandpa value bloodline ties, so of course they would prefer passing a child down from your family. I’ve long expected this, and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it.”
Cheng Yu held his hand, “If it were up to me, I would prefer adopting from somewhere else.”
He continued, “Adopting this child would make my dad and grandpa happy, but he would only be related to me, not to you, and that’s not really fair to you.”
Lin An Lan smiled as he looked at his serious expression, “Why do you think that? We’re legally married now, and he would be our child, so how could he not be related to me? Blood ties may be important, but they’re not as important as you think. I don’t share a drop of blood with my adoptive parents, yet they love me no less.”
“In this world, what matters isn’t blood but people. Look at your aunt. She doted on her grandson, raising him by her side, yet he didn’t appreciate her at all. Even now that she’s gone, he didn’t even bother to come see her. So, blood relations are just that—they don’t guarantee anything. In the end, it all comes down to a person’s character.”
“I believe the child we raise won’t grow up to be ungrateful, so I don’t think it’s unfair. From my perspective, whether it’s adopting □□ or adopting a child from your family, to me, they are not blood-related. I’m not related to my own parents by blood either, but we lived perfectly fine together, so this isn’t a problem. In fact, I think it’s quite nice because when I was young, I always hoped someone would adopt me. This child must be thinking the same way.”
Cheng Yu felt that he was really open-minded. He hugged him and said, “Alright, since you don’t mind, then I don’t mind either.”
Lin An Lan smiled, “Of course, I don’t mind.”
Looking at him, Cheng Yu promised, “I won’t tell him his true identity, nor will I let anyone else tell him. If, when he grows up, he learns about his real background and disrespects you, I will teach him a lesson. I won’t allow him to hurt you.”
“An An, I can guarantee you this—no matter when, you’ll always be the most important. I will never let anyone hurt you.”
Lin An Lan hadn’t expected him to say this. He knew his position in Cheng Yu’s heart and believed that with Cheng Yu around, even if the child grew up distant from him, Cheng Yu would never allow it.
However, he didn’t expect him to express it so bluntly and promise it so openly.
