Lin Yi was stunned.
When did I say I was going to bring you here?
You were the one who asked to come, alright?!
You little brat, how dare you ruin my reputation?
“It’s nice to meet you, it’s nice to meet you.” Cuiping smiled from ear to ear. “We’ll be a family from now on. We’d have to meet each other sooner or later.”
“Yeah, that’s what he said to me.” Qingyan said with a straight face.
Lin Yi, “…”
She was playing me!
“You guys are too much. You should have just come, why did you also buy stuff? It’s too expensive,” Cuiping said gratefully.
“It’s nothing valuable. I didn’t know what the orphanage lacked, so I just bought some stuff.”
Cuiping looked at Ji Qingyan, feeling like she was liking her more and more.
She did not mind Lin Yi’s background, and she was also so caring.
It was rare to find such a good girl.
“Hey, Old Zhao, go get the goods from the car. I’ll bring them in first.”
“Okay, go in. I’ll be up in a while.”
A few minutes later, Lin Yi and Ji Qingyan were brought to the third floor.
However, as soon as they went up, they heard the sound of crying.
“Mom, why is someone crying? Is it a child from the orphanage?” Lin Yi asked.
“I don’t know who it was. After giving birth, the child was left at the entrance of the orphanage. I didn’t even see the person before they ran away. Thus, I had no choice but to bring the baby in.”
“It was abandoned right after it was born?”
“Yeah, it’s probably not even a year old yet.”
Ji Qingyan’s heart was moved when she heard the two of them talking.
She liked children very much and could not accept such things.
When she heard such news, her heart ached.
“Aunt Wang, why don’t we go and take a look? I feel uncomfortable when I hear children crying.”
“Then let’s go and take a look first.” Wang Cuiping said helplessly, “If I cry like this every day. I’m afraid that my throat will be damaged from crying.”
When they walked to the third floor, they found a middle-aged woman who looked a few years younger than Wang Cuiping.
The woman’s name was Liu Juan, and she was a nurse in the orphanage. Although she wasn’t doing it for free, her monthly salary was only 1,000 dollars, which was completely out of proportion to the heavy workload.
“Yo, Yi is back.”
Liu Juan, who was originally anxious, beamed when she saw Lin Yi. “You’re really something. You even brought your girlfriend back.”
“I’ve not been busy recently, so I came back to visit.”
“Take care of yourself when you work outside. Don’t tire yourself out.”
“Got it, Auntie Liu.”
“Old Wang, come and help me for a while. I’m exhausted from cradling the baby. I’ve already warmed up the milk several times, but it’s not drinking,” Liu Juan said.
“Okay, I’ll give it a try.”
Cuiping carried the child on the small bed. The baby looked especially pretty, especially her big eyes, which were like the stars in the sky.
“Sure, let me take a look. Maybe I’ll be able to help.”
However, reality was often harsh.
The child was still crying in Cuiping’s hands. It did not seem like it wanted to drink milk at all.
In the end, it made Cuiping’s arms sore, but there was still no effect.
“Auntie Wang, do you want me to give it a try?” Ji Qingyan asked tentatively.
“No way, can you do such a thing?” Lin Yi asked doubtfully.
“Haven’t you ever seen a pig run before?” Ji Qingyan said. “I’ve seen other people take care of the child before, so it’s a good opportunity for Aunty Wang to rest.”
Seeing that Ji Qingyan was willing to help, Cuiping did not treat her as an outsider and handed the child to her.
Surprisingly, when Ji Qingyan held the child in her arms, she miraculously stopped crying!
Even Ji Qingyan had never thought that she would have such great magic powers.
“See? She stopped crying when she is in my arms,” Ji Qingyan said proudly.
“Not crying is not the main point. The main point is to have her drink the milk.”
“The child has already stopped crying. Do you think this is difficult for me?”
Ji Qingyan was full of confidence. Since the child liked her so much, it was naturally not a problem to also feed her the milk.
Taking the bottle from Wang Cuiping’s hand, Ji Qingyan got ready to feed her.
When she brought the bottle to her mouth, the child started crying again, even louder than before.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Ji Qingyan put the bottle aside and prepared to pacify the child first.
Miraculously, when the bottle was taken away, the child stopped crying.
Ji Qingyan was devastated.
“Then let’s hold her for a while. She’ll probably be able to eat when she’s hungry later,” Wang Cuiping said.
Ji Qingyan’s motherly love was overflowing. “Okay, Aunt Wang, you guys go and rest first. I’ll hold her for a while.”
“That’s fine. I’ll go get some water for you guys. You rushed over earlier didn’t even have a sip of water in the between.”
“Thank you, Aunt Wang.”
Wang Cuiping left, leaving Ji Qingyan patting the child in her arms, looking like a mother.
“Grandma, Grandma…”
The child was almost one year old and could already speak simple words.
Hearing the child’s words, Ji Qingyan immediately went to get the bottle.
This little girl finally knew how to eat. Otherwise, she would not know what to do.
However, just as Ji Qingyan took the bottle and was about to feed her, she suddenly saw the child in her arms, using her tender little hand to grab her.
“Grandma…”
Ji Qingyan was stunned. She didn’t expect the child to want to eat her…
“No, sis doesn’t have that…”
Ji Qingyan wanted to stop her, but she was afraid of hurting the child. She was at a loss for what to do.
Lin Yi watched the show calmly. It was quite exciting.
“Turn around, don’t look!”
“Alright, I know you’re easily embarrassed, so I’ll go out first.” Lin Yi said. “The child is still young, she needs nutrition. She needs to be fed.”
“How… How am I supposed to feed her? I don’t even have that!”
“It’s okay, I believe in you. I’ll definitely do it.”
“It has nothing to do with whether you believe it or not.”
Ji Qingyan was both embarrassed and anxious. She was a young girl, and it was embarrassing for her to be grabbed by a child that wanted to suckle, not to mention that Lin Yi had seen it!
She did not know where to hide now.
“Aunty Wang, Aunty Liu.”
Ji Qingyan was at her wit’s end, and she could only call for reinforcements.
The little guy looked harmless, but she was quite strong.
It was so painful.
Hearing Ji Qingyan’s cry, Cuiping and Liu Juan walked in.
Seeing Ji Qingyan’s clothes all crumpled up, they instantly understood what was going on.
They were all experienced people, so they all guessed what had happened just now.
Ji Qingyan’s face turned red, and she wished that she could find a hole to hide in.
This was too embarrassing.
“Alright, you guys go out first. I’ll deal with her. You just came back, so don’t waste your energy on this matter,” Liu Juan said.
The three of them then left helplessly.
When they reached Wang Cuiping’s office, they closed the door. The room had a much quieter atmosphere.
“Little Ji, don’t take it to heart,” Wang Cuiping comforted her.
“You’ve never been a mother before. There are some things that you don’t understand. This is the child’s instinct. Yous are so big that it could not help but grab it.”
