Chapter 491 - Baby’s Dad Part Two

Without caring about the sharp look from Zhao Zhao anymore, Jing Zhongxiu came to stand beside Jing Rui. He coughed hard seeing that Jing Yichen was refusing to make space for him.

“Yichen, move from here. Let me talk with my grandson for a while.”

Jing Yichen had to leave unwillingly when he was interrupted by Jing Zhongxiu. He had not spent enough time with his son yet.

But Jing Zhongxiu did not bother about his son’s expression. He only had eyes for the little fellow lying on the bed.

The baby had long eyelashes and big eyes. His hair was thick, and snowy skin just like polished jade. He looked exactly how Jing Yichen did when he was little.

This was Jing Zhongxiu’s grandson, so cute!

Jing Zhongxiu stared at him for a long time. Then he took his grandson’s hand and bit it gently. He couldn’t conceal his delight.

Jing Rui’s wide eyes followed Jing Zhongxiu as if he knew that he was his grandpa. Jing Zhongxiu was amused and laughed out loud.

He carefully picked up Jing Rui from the bed. He was a bit clumsy, but behaved very gently. He used the long forgotten posture to hold the baby, despite his stiff arms. He was trying to make sure that his grandson was in a comfortable position.

Seeing his son being picked up by Jing Zhongxiu, Jing Yichen was extremely displeased.

What was he doing? What if Jing Rui fell? Jing Zhongxiu did not look like someone who could hold children well. He was stiff and worse skilled than him! Jing Rui couldn’t possibly be comfortable in his arms.

Jing Yichen was concerned about his son’s comfort. He said calmly, “Dad, give him back to me. I am better at holding the child than you are. Any other baby would cry if you hold him in this way. It is just that my son is really docile.”

Jing Zhongxiu got displeased instantly and glared at him. “I can make him comfortable too. Don’t you see how happy my grandson is? You will have the chance to hold Jing Rui every single day. Why must you take him from me right now, useless brat!”

Shangguan Ning did not find it weird to see Jing Zhongxiu hold Jing Rui in his arms. Actually, she was very happy because Jing Zhongxiu’s affection for the little fellow was apparent and it made her feel relieved.

He might be a bit clumsy, but he was doing it with his best intentions.

Shangguan Ning suspected that he must have held Jing Yichen numerous times when he was young and knew how to hold the baby. But he would be clumsy after thirty years of no practice.

She wanted Jing Rui to get close with Jing Zhongxiu. He was the baby’s grandpa, and had every right to cherish him.

She did not want Jing Zhongxiu to be aloof with Jing Rui. Nor did she want Jing Rui to grow up to be someone who talked with his grandfather in a formal manner. It would be great if the grandpa and grandson could get on well with each other. Love should be cultivated when the child is young. Looking at them, there was no doubt that Jing Zhongxiu would love his grandson unconditionally.

Zhao Zhao standing next to them, was very nervous. She feared that the clumsy Jing Zhongxiu would drop Jing Rui or make him uncomfortable.

But she had the same idea as Shangguan Ning. She also hoped that Jing Zhongxiu could spend more time with Jing Rui. At least, he should not treat Jing Rui as strictly as he treated Jing Yichen.

Therefore, Zhao Zhao did not stop Jing Zhongxiu from holding Jing Rui.

Jing Yichen got even more displeased after being lectured by Jing Zhongxiu.

He might not be as experienced or capable as Jing Zhongxiu in other aspects but he thought that he was better than him in rearing a child.

“It is the wrong position for him! You shouldn’t get both the arms up. You should wrap them around him. He is too young to be held so stiffly. You should wrap the hands alongside his body…”

Jing Yichen kept nagging. Jing Zhongxiu was about to protest by saying that he had held Jing Yichen so many times when he was a baby and that he was experienced, when he found those words would not be in line with his image as a strict father. So he stopped himself from saying anything more.

Seeing the two of them standing next to each other and trying to get hold of Jing Rui, Shangguan Ning burst into laughter. She laughed even more when she heard these men praising the four-day old baby.

Honestly, she also thought that her son was the best looking child in the entire world, yet she couldn’t help but feel proud when she heard how the father and son praised him.

“My son looks so much like me. He is definitely going to be very handsome in the future!”

Jing Yichen had never been modest about his appearance. Shangguan Ning also supported him by saying that their son would become as good-looking as he was.

But Jing Zhongxiu had been used to giving his son a brow beating. He snapped when he couldn’t stand his arrogance. “Your son will be much better-looking than you when he grows up. He will be as handsome as I was in my younger days. He will definitely get a great wife in the future. Maybe even the princesses of royal palaces would beg to marry my grandson!”

Jing Yichen almost passed out after hearing such words.

He had never seen Jing Zhongxiu being so arrogant like right now!

But Jing Yichen was pleased that he was talking about Jing Rui and also agreed that his son would exceed him in the future.

He wanted to take his son back from his father, but Jing Zhongxiu dodged him nimbly. He took two steps backwards and lowered his head to kiss the tender grandson.

“Dad, you have a beard, it will sting him.”

“Nonsense! I shaved before I came here. My cheeks are soft.”

“Jing Rui’s face is too tender. Stop ruining his face.”

“Shut up, I adore my grandson.I will not ruin his face. Stop talking rubbish.”

Jing Zhongxiu rubbed Jing Rui’s face with his chin.

The tickling feeling made Jing Rui smile at Jing Zhongxiu. He looked lovely when his toothless gums were displayed.

Jing Zhongxiu got extremely happy. He showed off to Jing Yichen by saying, “Look, my grandson is smiling at me. He adores me!”

Jing Yichen found that it was true.

He gave up arguing with Jing Zhongxiu. His son’s smile was what delighted him most of all. Nothing was more important. But then he couldn’t take it the next minute.

“Son, let me hold you, I can amuse you too…” Jing Yichen clapped his hands to attract Jing Rui’s attention and threw a proud look at Jing Zhongxiu when he saw Jing Rui shifting his gaze towards him.

Shangguan Ning shook her head when the father and the son were behaving like small children.

Shangguan Ning had never expected that her husband would have become a baby himself rather than the baby’s dad!
