Jiang Meilin took the baby from her daughter's hand and caressed his cheeks softly. His blue eyes were mesmerizingly beautiful. "What would you call my grandson, little Ren?" She asked. She knew that Bai Renxiang had been thinking of a name to give the baby when it was still in her tummy.
"Your grandson's name is Bai Xiaojin. My little gold. I will treasure him forever," Bai Renxiang smiled brightly while gazing at her son. Raising a child was quiet difficult, but this fact did not scare Bai Renxiang from her parental duty.
"Mum, you are going to teach me how to care of my baby, right?" She asked hopefully. With her mother's help, she knew that her son will grow in an environment that was fill with love, care, discipline and the fear of God. She wanted to raise him and teach him like her mother did or even better.

"Is it a boy or a girl?" He inquired.
"A bouncing baby boy. His name is Bai Xiaojin. Little Ren gave it to him," she filled him in. With the great news, the old man could not help but smile, causing the side of his eyes to wrinkle out of old age.
"What a pleasant gift from God, do you not think?" He asked. Jiang Meilin nodded her head in agreement. "I have kept s little gift for my great-grandson. It is a little token I prepared to aid the two if you in his up bringing. Did not refuse it, Mei," came his stern voice.
"I would not, dad. The gift is for my grandson and not for me anyway. With it, most things will be provided because I know what your 'little token' is." His words never goes with his actions when giving gifts. He meant the opposite of what he said.

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBai Renxiang spent a week in the hospital before she got discharged. When she arrived at home, a baby crib had been placed beside her bed in her room. She chuckled lightly as she knew it was her mother's doing. After taking a quick bath, she bathe the baby before proceeded to breastfeed him.
Jiang Meilin came into the room to see her daughter feeding her grandson. "Looks like the young mum is adapting quickly to the feeding habit of her son," she teased. When Bai Renxiang felt fed her son, she felt ticklish and pained. It was a foreign feeling. But with time she learnt to hear with it.
"Not really. His bites are still a little bit painful," she said while stroking her son's cheek tenderly. "When you are done come out to greet Mrs Yi and get son. They brought gifts for the baby," Jiang Meilin said what she came there for. "I will be there soon."
After a while, Bai Renxiang came out of her room and walked towards the living room. "Good morning aunty, good morning Minsheng," she politely greeted.
"Oh my little flower. Good morning to you. Congratulations on your safe delivery. Your mum told me it is a boy. May I see him?" She asked. "Of course." Bai Renxiang passed the baby to Mrs Yi.
"Aww, how adorable. His eyes are a killer. If I were a baby girl, I would fall for him because of these eyes," she jested. She did not ask why the baby had blue eyes when his mother had black. It was obvious that it was from his father. Being as close as a family to these two neighbours of hers, she knew how the baby came about as Jiang Meilin had told her.
Yi Minsheng too was surprised to see the boy. He looked like Bai Renxiang. He smiled at the baby and gave him a light tickle making the cute baby to giggle. "Wow he has her dimples. God, I will die of too much cuteness. Please carry him or I will faint." Everyone erupted in laughter. Breakfast or rather, brunch was ready and they all ate together, including Shin and Shane.
The time was fast spent as they talked about random things till the night came, reminding them that the time to sleep has come. So bye-bye fun time.
