Chapter 467 Fragile Peace

Xia Ling was so frightened that she did not dare to disobey him again.

She no longer got up at night to take care of her children, but she still woke up inexplicably late at night, tossing and turning.

Pei Ziheng was also woken up and asked her, "What happened again?"

She said softly: "I thought I heard the child crying."

Pei Ziheng snorted coldly.

So Xia Ling didn't dare to move and forced herself to continue sleeping, but she always kept her eyes open until dawn, her face looking even more haggard than before.

Pei Ziheng had no choice but to allow her to get up at night to take care of the child.

After all, he wanted her to take good care of herself and take good care of herself as soon as possible. The doctor said that if she didn't take a good rest, she might never be able to get pregnant again, and Pei Ziheng would never allow that to happen.

Nowadays, Xia Ling is at home with her child 24 hours a day. When the baby laughs, she laughs too, and when the baby cries, she becomes anxious. The nannies all said that it was really rare. Among wealthy young ladies, there were very few people who took care of their children as carefully as she did. She could do it herself without relying on others. This baby is so happy.

Only Xia Ling knows, how is this happiness?

The new nannies have this misconception because they don't know the child's life experience.

Whenever she hears the nannies complimenting her, saying that her husband and wife are harmonious and their children are cute, a slight bitterness appears on her face.

Several nannies misunderstood: "Madam, don't blame Mr., Mr. is usually so busy with work that it is normal for him to have no time to accompany the young master. When the young master grows up and is not so noisy, he will be able to call daddy." Now that I can run and dance, maybe my husband will like to get close to him."

Except for Zhou’s mother, the other servants all call the baby “young master.”

They also found that Pei Ziheng was a little cold towards the baby, but thought it was just because the man didn't care about these trivial matters of childcare. Xia Ling couldn't express her pain, so she could only thank them for their comfort.

It's not easy for her these days.

Babies are very troublesome. They have weak bones and cry easily. They will feel uncomfortable if they are slightly cold or hot, or if they eat too much or too little.

One day, Zhou’s mother shook her head and sighed, why is this child so difficult to take care of?

Xia Ling happened to hear it and glanced at her coldly.

Zhou Ma quickly shut up.

Nowadays, her relationship with her wife is very delicate. She doesn't trust her very much. She is not allowed to handle any food or supplies related to the children. Zhou's mother felt aggrieved and felt sorry for Madam. Such a young woman had no experience in raising children. She had to learn all by herself and struggled to take care of her children.

I also need to take care of my husband’s emotions.

Since having this little baby, Pei Ziheng has been in a bad mood and ordered Zhou's mother not to let the child appear in front of her. These days, I haven't even seen a child.

Zhou Ma understands him very well, out of sight is out of mind.

It's just a pain for Xia Ling, she has to take care of both ends, and worry about one and lose the other.

On this day, Xia Ling accompanied Pei Ziheng to dinner again.

The baby in the nursery started crying for some reason, crying so loudly that no one could coax him.

The nanny who was taking care of the child was very anxious. He hurried downstairs and came to the dining room and said, "Madam, it's not good. The young master is crying so hard that his voice is going hoarse."

In the restaurant, the candlelight is just right.

Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling sat face to face and were having a Western dinner.

In fact, Xia Ling had already heard the child's faint cry, but it hindered Pei Ziheng and did not dare to show the slightest worry. Hearing what the nanny said, she instinctively made a move to get up. Unexpectedly, just as she moved, Pei Ziheng put down his chopsticks heavily.

Xia Ling didn't dare to leave and glanced at him, her eyes full of pleading.

You can't really let your child cry like this. What should you do if your throat breaks up from crying?

On the side, Zhou Ma, who was waiting for the two of them to eat, also understood what happened. She also loved this baby very much. At this time, her heart was in doubt and she tentatively said, "Sir, Madam, would you like me to go and take a look?"

Xia Ling glanced at Pei Ziheng's face and saw that he didn't look calm.

Although she was worried about Zhou's mother, Xia Ling knew very well that she could not leave the table no matter what before she had finished dinner with Pei Ziheng, so she had no choice but to say to Zhou's mother, "Thank you for your hard work."

It was rare for her to be so polite to Zhou Ma.

Zhou's mother was flattered, decided to behave well, and hurried to the nursery.

The baby was still crying, his little body was twitching from crying, his voice was hoarse, and his little face was red. Zhou's mother quickly picked up the baby and asked the nanny while coaxing her, "Have you fed the baby?"

The nanny said, "I just fed him, so he's not hungry."

Zhou's mother checked the baby's swaddling clothes. It was very dry and there was no bedwetting.

She held the child and walked back and forth, coaxing her softly. The child's crying became quieter, but in a blink of an eye it started wailing again.

The nanny said, "Looking at the young master like this, he probably misses his mother."

Zhou's mother was very worried and said, "My wife is having dinner with my husband. No matter what, I have to finish the meal before I can come to comfort the young master."

The nanny was a little anxious, "What should I do?"

She was new here and didn't dare to disturb Pei Ziheng, so she had to urge Zhou's mother, "Please think of a solution quickly."

Mother Zhou looked at the crying baby, gritted her teeth, and returned to the restaurant with a cruel heart. She said respectfully to Pei Ziheng and Xia Ling: "The baby can't stop crying no matter what. I've tried all the methods. I guess he misses his mother. If he wants her to hug him, he might stop crying."

Xia Ling became even more restless and looked at Pei Ziheng eagerly, "Can I... go and coax him?"

Because she was worried, she ate very quickly and had already finished her meal. However, he did not dare to get up and leave the table immediately because Pei Ziheng was still chewing carefully.

Pei Ziheng glanced at her pitiful look and suddenly felt jealous of that child. Xiao Ling cared so much about him. It would be great if he could pay more attention to him.

The crying in the nursery could be heard clearly in the restaurant.

Pei Ziheng became irritable again, but he was unwilling to let Xia Ling leave. He frowned and compromised and said, "Bring the child to Madam."

Zhou's mother was full of surprise: "Sir?"

Doesn't Pei Ziheng hate this child very much? Why would he let someone bring the child over?

Even Xia Ling looked at Pei Ziheng in surprise.

Pei Ziheng was a little impatient, "Go if you are told."

Only then did Zhou's mother come to her senses and quickly carried the child to Xia Ling.

The child was still crying, so Xia Ling reached out and carefully took it, holding it in her arms and coaxing her again and again.

Strangely enough, the baby quickly calmed down in his mother's arms, his crying gradually became quieter, and he snuggled up to his mother and fell asleep unknowingly.

Xia Ling had a gentle smile on her face. She had never shown such a smile to Pei Ziheng.
