Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 515 - 508: She Smiled

Bai Yiran didn’t expect Leng Liewei to take the initiative to ask to hold Xiao Xi. She still remembered the look of disappointment and disdain on Leng Liewei’s face when he found out Xiao Xi was a girl in the hospital.

At the time, Leng Liewei didn’t even spare a glance at Xiao Xi, as if she were a worthless object.

Although Bai Yiran didn’t care whether Leng Liewei liked Xiao Xi, his attitude always cast a shadow in her heart.

So much so that when Leng Liewei now asked to hold Xiao Xi, Bai Yiran couldn’t help but wonder about his intentions.

Nevertheless, Bai Yiran still handed Xiao Xi over to Leng Liewei. He was always Xiao Xi’s grandfather. Even if he didn’t like her, he wouldn’t drop her in front of everyone, would he?

Bai Yiran’s movements were cautious until she confirmed that Leng Liewei had securely held the child before slowly letting go. However, her eyes remained fixed on Leng Liewei’s arms holding Xiao Xi, afraid he might accidentally drop her.

Leng Liewei’s posture in holding the baby was somewhat stiff. The little one in his arms was soft and gentle. Her dark eyes stared unblinkingly at him, reaching out to tightly grasp his tie.

"Xiao Xi, this is Grandpa~" Bai Yiran said softly.

Upon hearing the title ’Grandpa,’ Leng Liewei’s body shuddered. After glancing at Bai Yiran, he focused his gaze back on Xiao Xi’s face.

The child clutched Leng Liewei’s tie, blinking her eyes, and suddenly burst into laughter.

The laughter was brief, fleeting, but everyone heard it.

It was the first time Bai Yiran heard Xiao Xi laugh out loud. Although Xiao Xi had smiled before, it was the first time she truly laughed audibly!

"Oh my! Xiao Xi laughed! She laughed out loud for the first time!" Xiao Lang said in a childish voice, looking at Leng Liewei with envy, "Grandpa, this is the first time Xiao Xi has laughed out loud. Before, no matter how I tried to make her laugh, she wouldn’t. She only ate, slept, or cried! I thought Xiao Xi couldn’t laugh, but it seems she likes Grandpa more, which is why she laughed for him!"

Xiao Xi was only a month old and didn’t fully recognize her surroundings. Even if she laughed, it didn’t mean anything. It was a natural reaction without any thought, something any mother would know.

However, Xiao Lang didn’t know this. He naively thought that Xiao Xi liked Grandpa more than him, and he even became jealous, voicing laughable words.

But even such laughable words from Xiao Lang hit Leng Liewei right in the heart. The icy, indifferent heart that had already built a wall was cracked open by Xiao Lang’s innocent words, gradually releasing warmth from within.

The eyes that were always cold and emotionless when facing Leng Yichen now transformed with tenderness.

Luna stood next to Leng Liewei, not noticing the change in his gaze. Her eyes were instead attracted to the gold bracelet on Xiao Xi’s wrist.

It was custom-made by Grandma to celebrate Xiao Xi’s first month, with her blessings and hopes engraved on it.

Since Xiao Xi’s arm kept moving, Luna couldn’t fully see the words on the bracelet. So, she reached out and took Xiao Xi from the unsuspecting Leng Liewei.

Suddenly changing embrace, Xiao Xi looked at Luna’s face and immediately cried out loudly.

Bai Yiran felt heartbroken seeing this, and Leng Yichen’s face darkened. Just as he was about to reach out to take the child back, another pair of hands reached out first.

"Give me the child!" Leng Liewei glared at Luna with an unfriendly look, as if she had stolen his most precious treasure, his eyes wishing to pierce through her.

During Luna’s moment of distraction, Leng Liewei had already reclaimed the child.

Back in Leng Liewei’s arms, Xiao Xi’s crying miraculously stopped. Her moist eyes still bore traces of tears, looking aggrieved, as she grabbed his tie once again.

"You like it?" Leng Liewei’s voice was softer than ever, his brows and eyes blooming with a smile, "If you like Grandpa, I’ll give it to you."

Unexpectedly, just as Leng Liewei finished speaking, Xiao Xi laughed out loud once more.
