Chapter 2392 - Don’t be afraid, Grandma (2/2)

The little fella earnestly explained all this to Yin Yuerong and even shifted over on the bed toward the inside. “Grandma, if you’re scared, you can sleep with Tangtang!”

Although Yin Yuerong didn’t want to admit it, she came to see the child out of concern, not expecting to end up being the one comforted.

On the bed, the child wore the pajamas prepared for him by Auntie Qiao. The fuzzy pajamas matched the little fella’s fair cheeks and sleepy eyes and made him exceptionally adorable.

They had just finished eating breakfast when Auntie Qiao led a young woman into the dining room. “Madam, Manager Zhang has personally brought over the newest season of clothes! Would you like to take a look?”

Yin Yuerong didn’t even look up and casually waved her hand. “You decide.”
