Chapter 152 Praise
Chapter 152 Praise
Zhu Tingyue had been busy all day and had heard a lot of praise.
These people are just using the same old tricks, repeating the same words they used to praise her to praise the child. Zhu Tingyue is so tired of hearing it.
Shen Yanqiu became interested upon hearing this.
A pair of bright, star-like eyes stared intently at Zhu Tingyue, eagerly pressing for an answer: "Tell me quickly, how exactly did they praise the child?"
His eager look was like that of a child eagerly anticipating candy from an adult.
Zhu Tingyue smiled slightly and said slowly, "They all say that our son is chubby, plump, and incredibly intelligent, a rare genius in the world!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Yanqiu was slightly taken aback, and then involuntarily revealed a gratified and satisfied smile.
That smile was as warm and gentle as the spring sun, instantly illuminating the entire room and drawing everyone's attention.
Zhu Tingyue found it unbelievable: "They're just saying polite words, all insincere. What's there to be happy about?"
Shen Yanqiu gently shook her head: "Never mind whether it's just polite talk or not, isn't our son adorable?"
Zhu Tingyue couldn't deny it and nodded, saying, "Of course!"
When he was born, he was a wrinkled little thing, his eyes weren't even open yet, so you couldn't see anything about him. At the time, Zhu Tingyue even thought he was ugly.
Now, a month has passed, and this little bundle of joy has grown up. Its face is soft and fair, and its body is rosy, making it irresistible.
Zhu Tingyue never expected that her child would change so much in just one month, and she felt sorry for her previous thoughts.
Shen Yanqiu glanced at her and knew exactly what she was thinking.
"Didn't you say the child was ugly before? Now you regret it, don't you? Luckily the child is young and doesn't know anything. If you said that again in a few years, just try it!"
A barely perceptible hint of guilt appeared on Zhu Tingyue's fair face.
Her eyes, which were originally as bright as stars, flickered slightly, as if she wanted to avoid the probing gazes of others.
Her lips were slightly pursed, revealing a hint of nervousness and unease. A faint blush unconsciously crept onto her cheeks.
However, beneath this handsome appearance, she couldn't hide the insecurity deep inside: "I just lacked experience, didn't I? Now look at my son, where is he ugly? He's clearly a sweet and soft little dumpling!"
Shen Yanqiu snorted coldly and glanced at her sideways: "If you dare to say the child is ugly or not good-looking again, I'm going to get angry! Zhu Tingyue, I'm serious!"
Zhu Tingyue quickly shook her head: "Don't worry, I definitely wouldn't say that. My son is still my son. We're a handsome couple, how could we have an ugly child!"
Almost as soon as Zhu Tingyue finished speaking, Shen Yanqiu's face lit up with obvious joy.
Zhu Tingyue leaned closer and couldn't help but tease him, "Don't you think so?"
Without hesitation, Shen Yanqiu answered loudly, "Of course! My son has to be good-looking!"
Zhu Tingyue corrected him: "Our son!"
Shen Yanqiu readily agreed: "Yes, our son!"
Zhu Tingyue was already immune to her mother's habit of praising her child three hundred times a day, but Shen Yanqiu actually followed suit and started praising him too!
Zhu Tingyue didn't understand: "I know our son is good-looking, but you praise him every day, with no two sentences the same. Isn't that a bit of an exaggeration?"
Shen Yanqiu glanced at her, and then the words that came out of his mouth were like a machine gun, full of endless complaints and dissatisfaction: "What can I do? Who told me to have an invisible father at home? If I don't praise him, he'll definitely think he's a left-behind child!"
