Sweet Wife in My Arms

Chapter 919: The Resemblance

Now, Lu Qi, the eldest boy, was fast asleep in his grandfather’s arms. Meanwhile, the second boy, oblivious to his surroundings, was lying comfortably in his grandmother’s embrace and playing with his fingers. Ye Xinyu wiped his hands on his shirt, intending to carry the baby. However, he was afraid to touch the baby as the baby seemed very delicate. He felt as though the baby had no bones and he did not know how to approach the baby.

Eventually, he took a step backward and gave up on the idea of carrying the babies. I shall carry them after they have grown bigger and sturdier like Little Lei.

Then, he sneaked a peek at the baby who was lying in Old Master Lu’s arms.

She was the first heiress in the Lu family in the past hundred years. Therefore, she was the precious of the family. According to hearsay, she weighed less than two catties when she was born. It must not be easy for her to grow into her current size. Besides, the baby seemed to have quite a beautiful face.

“Dad, this baby resembles Rongrong a lot.” This was Ye Chuji’s first time meeting Xunxun. At first glance, the baby bore a great resemblance to his younger sister. He was approximately six years older than his younger sister. Therefore, he vividly remembered how his sister looked like when she was a baby. He was not joking when he said that the baby looked like his sister.

At the side, Sun Yuhan’s heart skipped a beat. A sense of danger was aroused in her.

She lowered her gaze, pretending that she had not heard Ye Chuji’s words. In fact, she had an urge to strangle the baby in Old Master Lu’s embrace to death. Why did she have to give birth to a daughter who resembled Ye Rong?

Upon listening to Ye Chuji’s remark, Old Master Lu held his great granddaughter closer.

“She doesn’t resemble Ye Rong. She looks exactly like Huanhuan.” He spoke with a strident voice, firmly denying the striking resemblance between his beloved great granddaughter and the young Ye Rong.

No one knew how to explain this. Little Xunxun was very adorable and she looked like her mother as well. However, at first sight, she reminded everyone of the baby Ye Rong. Most of the people had not seen Ye Rong before, but Old Master Lu had always been there since Ye Rong was a young girl. He remembered Ye Rong’s appearance vividly for he had always seen her as his own daughter.

Yet, he refused to acknowledge the resemblance between his great granddaughter and Ye Rong. He was afraid that Ye Jianguo would snatch his baby girl away from him. She was his one and only great granddaughter. Now, he had to arrange the schedule with his son and his daughter-in-law before he could meet his baby girl. Unlike the girl, he could carry Lu Qi and Lu Guang whenever he wanted. Meanwhile, he could not touch Xunxun as he pleased as Xunxun was unique.

Old Master Lu seemed to have forgotten that Lu Qi and Lu Guang were both unique as well.

Nonetheless, people often only appreciated the rare ones. Unfortunately for the brothers, there were two boys, but Xunxun was the only girl.

“Let me have a look.” Ye Jianguo spreaded his arms, wanting to carry the little one. If he did not learn about the resemblance between Lu Yi’s girl and Ye Rong, he would not have visited this place. He refused to acknowledge Lu Yi as his grandson after Lu Yi married this woman.

Initially, he was loath to enter the Lu residence. Although he was not on bad terms with the Lu family, his relationship with Lu Yi and Yan Huan had been almost completely ruined.

However, he let go of his dignity, only to visit this baby who looked like Rongrong.

He wanted to know if she truly resembled Rongrong, his precious daughter who had died an untimely death.

He persistently kept his arms in the air.

“Show me,” he repeated. He was determined to hold the baby in his arms.

“I refuse.” Old Master Lu walked away with his great granddaughter in his embrace. Regardless, he did not want Ye Jianguo to go near his great granddaughter.

“Lu Yuanyang,” Ye Jianguo yelled at Old Master Lu by calling out his full name. “Show me the baby!”

“Why should I?” Old Master Lu was furious. “She’s my great granddaughter. Why should I show you my baby girl?”

“She’s also my great granddaughter!” Ye Jianguo made a statement which he had to later pay for.

“Your great granddaughter?” Old Master Lu let out a sneer. “Didn’t you refuse to acknowledge your granddaughter-in-law? Then, this baby is in no relation to you.”

“You didn’t want to accept their marriage too,” Ye Jianguo retorted. Back then, Old Master Lu had beaten his grandson mercilessly, forcing Lu Yi to marry another woman. In fact, they were both equally mean to the couple and should not be fighting over this.

“Leave the past where it belongs.” Old Master Lu did not deny his bad temper. Now that he had accepted the couple as part of his family, he would always protect them regardless.

The quarrel became increasingly louder. Lu Qi and Lu Guang ignored the two old men and continued to engage in their own activities. On the other hand, Little Xunxun, the fussy baby, was not able to take the loud noise. She would cry whenever she was disturbed.

Indeed, Xunxun burst into tears as Ye Jianguo let out a roar. She was scared by Ye Jianguo’s shouting before she began to tremble, appearing rather pitiful.

Old Master Lu failed to pacify her as the baby girl continued to bawl. Her eyes had become swollen as tears continuously fell down her face.

“Good girl. Please don’t cry...” Old Master Lu panicked. Lu Jin and Ye Shuyun hurriedly brought their grandsons into the room, worrying that the two brothers would cry alongside their sister. If that happened, they would not know how to handle the situation.

A baby’s wail could already cause a great chaos to the family. If the three of them cried simultaneously, no one would know how to resolve the calamity.

At this moment, the door swung open and Yan Huan appeared. She was sleeping, but immediately ran out of her room when she heard Xunxun’s cry. Xunxun had grown up and had learnt to ask for her mommy when she was scared. No one else, save Yan Huan, could calm her down. Old Master Lu would have brought her home if his great granddaughter could be easily appeased by just anyone. Alas, this baby girl was very finicky and would only ask for her mother when she cried.

“Come to mommy.” Yan Huan spreaded her arms. The little one quietly extended her tiny arms and threw herself into her mommy’s cuddle. Her cheeks were flushed after a round of crying while her long lashes were drenched in tears. She appeared absolutely piteous.

Yan Huan lifted her daughter before she gently patted the girl’s back, trying to soothe her. Meanwhile, the little one grabbed her mommy’s hair with her tiny hand. Before long, the girl had stopped crying and was merely sniffling.

Ye Jianguo was astonished when he saw the little one’s face.

He felt a sharp pain in his chest before he began to breathe rapidly. The baby girl looked exactly like Rongrong. He was skeptical when Ye Chuji told him that the girl bore a resemblance with Ye Rong. He even scorned Ye Chuji’s remark, thinking that it was impossible for two people, who shared no similar gene, to look alike.
