Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 530 - 523: Black Lines

Bai Yiran was a bit puzzled. What did Leng Liewei mean by calling her like this? Surely, her ability to be a mother didn’t need to be questioned by Leng Liewei, did it?

Even though she felt displeased by the sudden outburst from Leng Liewei, Bai Yiran patiently asked, "Dad, what’s going on?"

The loud crying of Xiao Xi came through the phone, startling Bai Yiran.

Leng Liewei yelled, "What’s going on? How dare you ask! Hurry back!" and then hung up the phone.

Actually, with Sister Liu taking care of Xiao Xi at home, Bai Yiran was reassured. Sister Liu had a professional postpartum care certificate, even more meticulous than Bai Yiran herself as a mother. Besides, Grandma was at home, the two of them taking care of Xiao Xi should be no problem.

But hearing Xiao Xi crying over the phone, combined with that call from Leng Liewei, Bai Yiran started to feel anxious.

"Li Sha, please drive faster."

Li Sha glanced at Bai Yiran through the rearview mirror, said "Okay!" and then stepped on the gas.

Quickly, Bai Yiran arrived home. She entered the gate password and swiftly went inside.

"Sister Liu, what’s wrong with Xiao Xi..." Bai Yiran asked Sister Liu as she walked.

Sister Liu looked at Bai Yiran awkwardly. Before she could open her mouth, bursts of laughter coming from the nursery caught Bai Yiran’s attention.

It was the laughter of Leng Liewei. Bai Yiran paused for a moment and walked towards the nursery.

She saw Leng Liewei lying in a very funny position by the side of the crib, stretching his arms into the crib, playing with Xiao Xi.

"Xiao Xi~ I’m Grandpa~ Where’s Grandpa? Grandpa is here! Hahahaha!" Completely engrossed in the interaction with Xiao Xi, Leng Liewei didn’t notice Bai Yiran had already entered the room. His usual icy eyes full of disdain were gone, replaced by a child-like warmth, and his mouth stretched into a wide grin.

"Xiao Xi~ say Grandpa~ Grandpa~"

Listening to Leng Liewei, Bai Yiran felt a chill and had no choice but to say, "Dad, Xiao Xi is just over a month old and can’t speak."

Upon suddenly hearing Bai Yiran’s voice, Leng Liewei jolted and hurriedly got up from beside the crib, his old face flushed red.

"Ahem!" Leng Liewei coughed lightly, awkwardly, and upon seeing Bai Yiran, he frowned, "Where did you go? What’s wrong with you as a mother? Leaving such a young child at home and going out! That’s so irresponsible!"

Bai Yiran raised her eyebrow slightly and didn’t pay attention to Leng Liewei. Instead, she asked Sister Liu, who was standing to the side, "Sister Liu, I heard Xiao Xi crying on the phone earlier, is she okay?"

Speaking of this, Sister Liu looked embarrassed, "Xiao Xi was crying because she pooped, and I was just about to change her diaper when the old gentleman arrived. It was the old lady who opened the door. When the old gentleman came in, he heard Xiao Xi crying and called you without asking the reason."

So that’s how it was. Bai Yiran looked at Leng Liewei, who seemed to avoid eye contact, possibly realizing he had scolded Bai Yiran without understanding the situation.

Bai Yiran looked around, "Where’s my grandma?"

Sister Liu pulled her mouth slightly, "The old lady heard the old gentleman yelling at you over the phone and left in anger."

Sigh...

Bai Yiran sighed, looking at Leng Liewei helplessly. How could this father-in-law always find trouble?

"Dad, Sister Liu is a certified professional caregiver, and Grandma is at home too. That’s why I felt safe going out for a while, and when you called, I was about to come back. Xiao Xi is my flesh and blood, how could I leave her without care?"

Leng Liewei glared at Bai Yiran with an unnatural expression, and even though he knew he’d been unreasonable today, he was unwilling to admit it to his daughter-in-law, "I brought some toys for Xiao Xi; they’re at the door, go get them!"

Subsequently, Leng Liewei turned to Xiao Xi, "Xiao Xi, Grandpa brought lots of things you like~"

Hearing this, Bai Yiran was stunned.

The things Xiao Xi likes, could it be...

When Bai Yiran walked to the door and opened the package Leng Liewei brought, she suddenly felt awkward.

Indeed, it was neckties...

A whole bag full of high-end designer neckties...
