The nannies walked over and took the child from Xia Ling's arms .
Xia Ling carefully instructed them . “Make sure that the child doesn't come into contact with synthetic fiber . And you also have to be more careful with the way you dress . I will give you a few more sets of work clothes . ”
In fact, the Pei Family's helpers' clothes were called work clothes, but they were of much better quality than many clothes that were bought outside . The texture and style were of the best of the best and looked very decent as everyday clothes .
A few nannies smiled and thanked madam .
When Pei Ziheng came back and heard about the baby being allergic to synthetic fiber from Nanny Zhou, he felt a little regretful . Why didn't he insist on sending the baby away? As far as he knew, even in rich families, including Li Lei's, there were no such cases . In many cases, artificial fabrics were mixed with natural fabrics . If he were not in the Pei Family, the child would have died due to allergy .
He was obviously a bastard but had a rich man's illness .
The child started to cry again .
Xia Ling hugged him tightly and comforted him again . She looked away inadvertently and saw a sullen look on Pei Ziheng's face . Afraid that the child would disturb him, she quickly carried her child and left with a few nannies and Grandma Ye . The group of people walked towards the baby room . Soon, only Pei Ziheng was left in the living room .
Pei Ziheng slowly drank his tea .
Hearing the vague discussion about the child upstairs, he suddenly felt that the house was no longer his . Ever since the child was born, he added a few nannies, and now, there was even Grandma Ye . Including Nanny Zhou and the chauffeur, everyone was only concerned about the child, and he was neglected as the master of the house .
Pei Ziheng was a little annoyed, but he felt more deserted and lonely .
Nanny Zhou walked over and respectfully said to him, “Mister, dinner is ready . After madam and Grandma Ye are done taking care of the baby and come downstairs, you can start eating . ”
Now, he even had to accommodate the child when it was time to eat?
Pei Ziheng's expression darkened, and he said to Nanny Zhou, “I'm not waiting anymore . I'll eat now . ”
Nanny Zhou finally realized that her master was in a bad mood . She did not dare to say anything more as she quickly served the dishes and waited upon him as he silently finished his dinner .
When Pei Ziheng was finished with dinner, Xia Ling and Grandma Ye still did not appear .
Pei Ziheng tolerated and asked, “Where are they?”
Nanny Zhou said, “They're still taking care of the baby . The baby had a severe allergy today and needs to shower and reapply his medicine . Otherwise, he will be afraid and cry . ”
Children had such privileges . The way he troubled others was justified .
Pei Ziheng's expression turned colder .
On the one hand, Nanny Zhou was concerned about madam and the baby upstairs . On the other hand, she was worried about Mister . She said carefully, “When madam is done applying the medicine on the baby, shall I ask her to accompany you for a while?”
Pei Ziheng snorted . Without answering, he went to the study room .
Xia Ling and Grandma Ye had a hard time before they finished taking care of the child . Only then did she remember that they had not eaten . She felt a little embarrassed as she spoke to Grandma Ye . “Grandma, I'm really sorry . You've lost track of time waiting for me . You must be hungry . Come, let's go downstairs for dinner . ”
In the dining room .
The lights were quiet . A few sets of white porcelain tableware were placed silently and elegantly on the delicate wooden table . However, the seats were empty .
“Where is Pei Ziheng?” Xia Ling asked .
Nanny Zhou said, “Mister has already eaten . He should be in the study room now . ” She had already kept Pei Ziheng's utensils and placed new ones on the table . She came out of the kitchen and served Xia Ling and Grandma Ye new, untouched dishes .
Xia Ling did not mind . She supported Grandma Ye as she sat down, and they ate together .
However, Grandma Ye noticed that something was off . Although Mr . Pei knew about his son's allergy, he did not show any concern at all . That was unusual . This really made her suspicious . Was this child really his biological son? Besides, he did not even wait for Xia Ling before eating . Wasn't he being too cold?
Logically speaking, this was his first wife and his first son . Why were things like this?
After dinner, Grandma Ye said to Xia Ling, “Little girl, chat with grandma . ”
Xia Ling smiled and held her as they walked to the guest room and sat at the bedside .
Grandma Ye held her hand and asked, “Is your relationship with Mr . Pei good?”
Xia Ling was startled by her question . She did not expect Grandma Ye to see the problems regarding their relationship on her first day here . She softly answered, “Our relationship is quite good . ”
However, Grandma Ye did not believe her . “You're lying to grandma . If your relationship is really good, why would he treat the child so coldly?”
Xia Ling was speechless . After thinking for a long time, she finally responded . “He's usually busy and tired after work, so he doesn't have time to take of the child . Grandma, he treats the child very well . He hired three nannies, and he never cuts corners when providing food and clothes for the child . ”
Grandma Ye laughed . “How many corners can he cut on a child as a rich man? Xiao Ling, this may not necessarily be a show of love to the child . Grandma is experienced, you shouldn't hide from me . Mr . Pei actually doesn't really like this child, right?”
Xia Ling felt that she could not continue hiding from her, but she did not want Grandma Ye to worry . She said ambiguously, “Well, it's nothing much . When the child was just born, he was a little weak, so he doesn't like him much . ”
Grandma Ye disagreed . “Seriously, how can Mr . Pei be like this? It's his own child . How can he give up on him like that?”
Xia Ling smiled bitterly . “Grandma, it's really nothing much . Even if the baby is weak, he's still under my care . Furthermore, with so many helpers, even if Pei Ziheng doesn't care, he can live well . ”
Grandma Ye shook her head and sighed . “You silly child, how can you be so naive?” A cold family without warmth was easily broken . Furthermore, their statuses differed by so much . What would happen if their marriage had problems?
Grandma Ye sincerely advised Xia Ling . “Child, you must manage this relationship well . ”
Xia Ling nodded .
In her heart, she thought of another man . He had a bright and warm expression like the sunlight . When she thought of him, it was as if the entire world was brighter . Li Lei, how are you now? If it were you… If it were you… Perhaps, I would be able to manage this well .
Xia Ling was troubled and said goodnight to Grandma Ye .
Grandma Ye lived in the villa for some time . Gradually, she became familiar with the villa and the people living in it . On this day, when she walked to the baby room with her cane, she suddenly heard the conversation of two nannies inside .
