Chapter 145: Chapter 146: Do You Want to Try a Massage?
Shao He, watching the person gazing affectionately at the child, couldn’t help but think of Xiao Linzhang’s affection for him, and mentioned to Qing Shan that Xiao Linzhang seemed to favor Pei Huaian much more than others.
Shao He deliberately said, “Xiao Linzhang’s appearance seems to resemble yours quite a bit.”
Pei Huaian didn’t turn his head, his tone calm and indifferent, “I actually think the little fellow looks more like you.”
He secretly thought with triumphant delight: How could he possibly not resemble me.
Shao He also sat down by the bed, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two people. Pei Huaian remained composed, showing no unusual behavior.
Unable to provoke any reaction, she changed tack, “I’ve heard that in the countryside, children resemble those who take care of them the most. Perhaps that’s the reason.”
...
“That is nothing but superstition. Children naturally resemble their parents. If who resembles who depended on who took care of them, wouldn’t that be total chaos?” Pei Huaian didn’t agree with her statement.
Shao He’s eyebrows slightly raised. She didn’t really care who Xiao Linzhang actually resembled; she was desperate to know if Pei Huaian was truly the man from that night.
She suddenly remembered Yuan Ze once saying that Pei Huaian had always had poor sleep. Perhaps she could take advantage of this.
“I heard you have trouble sleeping. I have a set of massage techniques that could help with sleep. Why not let me give you a back massage to try?” Shao He thought about using the massage as an excuse to undress him and check for a birthmark on his waist.
Pei Huaian’s clear eyes stared at her. Shao He started to feel a bit guilty, “My massage technique is really effective. Why don’t you give it a try? It won’t harm your body.”
Pei Huaian averted his gaze, his voice filled with regret, “It’s really too late today, and the child has already gone to sleep. It’s quite inconvenient.”
Regret filled his heart. It was rare for Shao He to offer a massage so proactively. If it weren’t so late, he would definitely have wanted to try it out thoroughly. This was an opportunity others might yearn for but could never get.
Seeing this, Shao He did not persist, knowing that it was indeed inconvenient at such a late hour.
“You should rest early too. I’ll take my leave,” Pei Huaian said as he pushed his wheelchair and turned to leave.
Shao He glanced at the sleeping Xiao Linzhang, her feelings complicated as she saw Pei Huaian out, “Thank you for taking care of Xiao Linzhang.”
Pei Huaian said indifferently, “It is my duty.”
With that, he disappeared into the darkness.
Shao He watched Pei Huaian’s retreating figure, her lips curling up into a pleased smile.
Having a dream-free night, Shao He got up early, and Xiao Linzhang, beside her, was kicking and waving his legs and blowing bubbles with his mouth. Seeing his mother get up, he hurriedly cried out, “Ah, ah, ah.”
“Wow, ah, ah, waah waah waah,” Xiao Linzhang seemed dissatisfied with his mother’s lack of attention and immediately burst into loud tears.
Shao He quickly went over to pick him up. The little fellow, who had been crying thunderously mere moments ago, instantly looked at her with tear-filled eyes.
“You little rascal.” Shao He affectionately tapped on his forehead.
“Ao wu, ao wu,” Xiao Linzhang seemed to respond to what she said.

Mother and son played and frolicked in the morning light.
“Miss, you’re awake!” Nanny Zhang and Qingxia stood at the door carrying a food box.
“Yes, prepare to wash up and dine,” Shao He responded.
Qingxia and Nanny Zhang laid out the breakfast on the table, and brought in a basin of water to help Shao He wash.
“Bring Xiao Linzhang’s goat milk. Let him have breakfast with us today,” Shao He instructed Nanny Zhang, turning her head.
“Yes, Miss,” Nanny Zhang replied softly and turned to get the warm goat milk for the little master.
As soon as Shao He sat down, Xiao Linzhang crawled toward her, waving his chubby little legs.
“Alright, here we go.”
She reached out to catch his soft body and held him in her arms, Xiao Linzhang clapping excitedly.
“You can’t grab this, and you can’t eat it,” Shao He cooed, taking away the item he had picked up from the table.
“Ah, ah, ah…,” Xiao Linzhang made garbled noises, his fingers constantly going to his mouth.
“Miss, look how happy the little master is today,” Qingxia said, unable to stop herself from smiling at the sight of the lively and adorable little master.
Shao He looked at Xiao Linzhang with a warm smile, “Xiao Linzhang is a good boy; your goat milk will be here soon.”
Soon after, Nanny Zhang arrived with the goat milk. Shao He took it and carefully fed him. Xiao Linzhang smiled broadly.
After he had eaten, Nanny Zhang took him away. The little one clung to Shao He’s clothes, seemingly unwilling to part with his mother.
Eventually, Nanny Zhang had to use a toy to coax him into letting go.
“Miss, let me help you dress,” Qingxia urged from one side.
“Right.”
Qingxia helped her change her clothes. Just as she was about to assist with her makeup, she was stopped.
“I’ll do it myself,” Shao He said, simply tying up her hair and securing it with a hairpin before hurrying out.
She didn’t care much about makeup and preferred to keep things as simple as possible on a daily basis.
But when she arrived at Anji Hall, she found the entrance surrounded by a group of guards.
Shao He stepped in and saw Chu Yu and Luo Jiner, whom she hadn’t seen for a long time. Her eyebrows lifted slightly, realizing that Chu Yu probably wanted her to examine Luo Jiner to see if she was truly pregnant.
As she expected, Chu Yu, upon seeing her enter, immediately dragged Luo Jiner to her.
“Shao He, I’m troubling you to check whether she is indeed pregnant,” Chu Yu said.
