Chapter 521 - If You dont Address Them, Youre not Well-Behaved (1/2)
She took a step forward and stopped for a while. After that, she opened her tiny legs and walked towards Song Wan. One step after another, she approached her. Song Wan felt tears well up in her eyes. Finally, those brimming teardrops rolled down her face, yet again.
She was really very emotional. So emotional that she didn't know what to do.
”Rainy, come to Granny.”
She continuously talked to Rainy, not even daring to blink her eyes. Afraid that in that moment, her granddaughter would completely vanish from her sight. This was such a hard-earned vessel, carrying the Chu family's blood. She was careful—really very careful. She was also extremely scared. It was only when Rainy stood in front of her, hugging her doll that she reached out her trembling fingers to gently caress Rainy's face. Granny's little granddaughter. She touched the child's eyebrows, eyes, and face. She wasn't willing to let go at all.
Rainy didn't avoid her hand. She simply tilted her head. This granny looks like she's crying; is she in pain? If Granny was in pain, then she had to be more obedient. Just like how when she used to be in pain. Mommy always told her: 'if you be good, you'll stop hurting'.
Song Wan's hands trembled, her vision became blurry. She firmly blinked her eyes a few times. It was only then that she regained her vision, becoming able to see things clearly and intelligibly once again.
”Rainy, have you forgotten Granny?” Granny and Rainy have met many times. Granny even fed you soup, right?” She choked up, her hand still not leaving Rainy's face. Her lips couldn't stop quivering from the overwhelming emotions.
Rainy didn't speak. She simply stood there quietly, letting Song Wan's hands caress her face from time to time and seemingly not hating how it felt. It was just like Mommy's hand. Alright. She wasn't angry at this granny anymore, considering how she was in so much pain she cried.
”Rainy, can Granny hug you?” Song Wan put down her hands, afraid that the child would fear her. She was scared that the child wouldn't agree. She was so careful all because she was afraid that the child would dislike her. This was the treasure she unexpectedly received. She was really too precious. She was the Chu family's treasure.
Rainy looked back at Xia Ruoxin again. After seeing her mother's encouraging nod, she turned back around and reached out her two tiny hands.
She didn't say anything, but her actions said everything.
Song Wan stood up, warily picking up the child from the floor. It felt different from the first time she carried her. She felt a lot more fear, caution, and heartache. She was afraid of hurting the child and afraid of dropping her.
Of course, it was also different from carrying Chu Xiang. Carrying Chu Xiang, she would feel at ease. However, this tiny body in her embrace made her feel grateful. So this was family. This was something that could not be replaced. Even if she adopted Chu Xiang and treated her very well—extremely well, it would still not be as close as it was with family.
Whereas, her little granddaughter was already so big. While she was looking at that nameless child, she didn't think that she would actually have a granddaughter that was so big already.
”Rainy, can you call me 'Granny' at least once, can you?” Song Wan stared at the refined features of the child in her arms. Her little granddaughter was so pretty, prettier than any child she had seen before. When she grew up, she was definitely going to become an extremely stunning lady—even prettier than her mother.
The Chu family's genes were always decent. Chu Lui was an example, and her little granddaughter was definitely another.
Rainy tightly shut her little mouth and opened her pair of black-colored eyes. She didn't speak a word. Neither did she move.
”It's alright, Granny knows that you are just shy with strangers. In the future, Granny will dote on you a lot. You see, Granny bought so many things for you. There are dolls and toys.”
