Chapter 224 - The Most Adorable Baby
Then, she pointed at Mo Ye who had already reached the finish point. Yet, no one carried him up.
When he saw that the other babies had been picked up, he cried even harder and wiped at his tears with his little hands. He howled as he looked at his grandmother.
Li Qin finally realized that she had forgotten to carry her grandson.
She quickly picked him up and gently stroked his back.
“Ye Ye… I’ll carry you. Don’t cry, don’t cry. Be a good boy.”
Qin Xiaoyu scoffed and turned away. She didn’t want to entertain this demented middle-aged woman anymore.
She carried Yuan Yuan up to the stage since Yuan Yuan was the winner of the competition. They didn’t care about the prize money or the prize but this was an affirmation of his abilities. This was Yuan Yuan’s first competition and the first time he won something.
She had already instructed the nanny to take a few more photos later.
This was a precious childhood memory to be treasured.
The red stage was decorated with all kinds of toys and the emcee in a red dress started to announce the results of the competition. The audience clapped loudly and many parents took lots of pictures with their mobile phones.
“Let’s congratulate baby Yuan Yuan for winning the first prize of the second class baby crawling competition,” the emcee announced with a smile and soon, the staff member helped put the medal around Yuan Yuan’s neck.
Yuan Yuan waved his tiny hands about excitedly and he even took a bite of the medal after the medal was hung around his neck.
He looked extremely adorable.
Everyone in the audience was charmed by his actions and started to take photos of him.
Li Qin watched all these unfold from the audience, annoyed that her grandson didn’t manage to get into the top three. She also started to take photos with her mobile phone and all the photos she took were of Yuan Yuan. She even took a short video clip of him.
She observed this baby for a long time and realized that Yuan Yuan didn’t seem to be accompanied by his parents. She didn’t see his father anywhere.
She had wanted to check if his father looked a lot like Mo Yixuan.
He Xiyan waited for a long while nearby. She didn’t go over to watch the competition or the prize-giving ceremony but she clearly heard that her baby had won the first prize.
Her lips curved into a blissful smile. As a mother, all she wanted was for her children to grow up healthy and happy. Yuan Yuan seemed smarter and taller than his peers so it was almost certain that he would win such competitions.
Soon, Qin Xiaoyu brought Yuan Yuan over.
Yuan Yuan seemed very interested in the medal around his neck and kept looking down at it. He would even occasionally touch it with his tiny hands.
“Ms. He, Yuan Yuan won the first prize. You didn’t see his performance earlier, he was so cute and amusing like a little superstar,” Qin Xiaoyu started to praise Yuan Yuan the moment she saw He Xiyan. This child was becoming more amusing. Once he was two or three years older and could start speaking, she was sure that he would be even more of a bundle of joy.
He Xiyan laughed happily and reached out to pinch his small cheeks.
Yuan Yuan was heaven’s gift to her and she could still remember crying tears of joy in the restroom when she discovered her pregnancy.
“Oh yes, Ms. He, I ran into your demented ex-mother-in-law earlier and she asked me where was Yuan Yuan’s father,” Qin Xiaoyu said her face darkening. For some reason, she felt as though that woman was particularly annoying and that she was practically crazy.
He Xiyan suddenly clutched at her fingers and her face turned red as she stared anxiously at Qin Xiaoyu.
“Did she ask any other questions?”
“No…” Qin Xiaoyu said coldly, “Later, she realized that her precious grandson was crying and went to go coax him. I bet she was jealous that Yuan Yuan is much cuter and smarter than her own ugly little grandson and so she wanted to try to get to know him better. She acted like some lunatic.”
