Tangning soon found out what her agent was imagining, because not long after, Xie Yunting called her.
"Xiaoning, are you married?"
Tangning blinked blankly, "No, you misunderstood."
"Having a child out of wedlock? If it's convenient to register the child, I can help." Xie Yunting said readily.
Tangning: “?”
"Don't worry, I will tell people about this. If you are willing to reveal the identity of the child, he can be under my name. You know, my mother really wants to have a grandson..."
Seeing that Xie Yunting was getting more and more ridiculous, Tangning quickly interrupted him and said, "I really picked up this child!"
Xie Yunting on the other end of the phone fell silent. He took a deep breath and said, "Can you open the door? I'm downstairs at your house."
Tang Ning was stunned for a moment. He opened the window while holding the child and saw Xie Yunting standing at his door wearing a coat and holding a cell phone.
At this rate, as soon as they heard the news that Tang Ning was pregnant, they would probably drop everything they were doing and rush over without stopping.
A snowflake fell from the sky, floated past Tang Ning's window, and landed in front of Xie Yunting who was looking up.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
After so many years, Xie Yunting has become more calm and reserved. He reached out his hand, caught the falling snowflake, and smiled at Tang Ning.
Tang Ning walked downstairs and opened the door.
"It has been years since it snowed." Xie Yunting walked into the house, took off his gloves and winter coat, and walked to Tangning's side. He said softly to Little Lettuce, "Hello, little friend. I'm your Uncle Xie. What's your name?"
Little Lettuce opened his big round eyes and looked at the air. He hummed at the air and looked very smart.
"Little lettuce." Tangning said, "It hasn't been named yet."
"Little Lettuce, you bully your father every day, making him worry so much?" Xie Yunting asked.
Rapunzel's eyes rolled to the ceiling and he chuckled.
After teasing the child for a while, Xie Yunting looked at Tangning.
"Xiao Ning, it's been hard for you to raise a child by yourself." Xie Yunting frowned slightly and saw the dark circles under Tangning's eyes. "These years, Dad, Mom, Grandpa, and Grandma have all wanted to have a grandchild."
"When our house was renovated some time ago, they built two baby rooms, one for my future child and the other for your future child.
"It will be much easier for the six of us to take care of the lettuce together."
Tangning shook his head. He knew Xie Yunting's suggestion was for his own good, but he chose this card to a large extent to bet on Prince Rapunzel.
He still remembered that Xie Yunting had a dead twin brother. If the other party was a prince, that existence should not have a physical body. He wanted to raise the prince like he raised No. 1.
Tang Ning also remembered that the Rapunzel Thief card clearly stated "You get the child you've always dreamed of", which meant that this child must meet a certain expectation in the player's mind.
Tang Ning is rich now, and he is worried about his retirement. This child needs to shoulder his expectations for his retirement. He spent the entire night yesterday praying desperately that the child on the card would be related to the prince, and he kept thinking about these things before going to bed.
He was gambling, gambling that the setting of "dreams" would come true.
If Xiao Lucai was the real prince, then he would definitely take Xiao Lucai to the fake prince's house. First of all, there would be hatred between the real and fake princes. Tang Ning still remembered that Xie Yunting had a dead twin brother. What was the relationship between Xiao Lucai and that dead twin brother? Tang Ning was worried that the elders of the Xie family would do something to hurt Xiao Lucai.
"... But I'm worried about you, Xiao Ning." Whenever Xie Yunting was rejected by Tang Ning before, he would always choose to respect her opinion. But this time, he acted the same way.
"This child..." Xie Yunting stared at the cute and well-behaved little Lettuce in Tangning's arms, "I feel like he's just average."
generally
Tang Ning was delighted. During the time he had been taking care of Little Lettuce, he noticed that Little Lettuce always cried, no matter what happened. She cried the most when she was away from Tang Ning. Her crying made him doubt whether Little Lettuce was a normal child.
"What's so special about him?" Tangning asked.
"I can see that if we take him to the Xie family, grandpa should be able to see it." Xie Yunting said.
Tangning shook her head and rejected Xie Yunting once again.
Xie Yunting rubbed his temples with a headache, "Then I will stay and help you take care of the child. Don't be so anxious to reject me. Have you forgotten how many endorsements you signed before? There is also a concert in two months..."
Xie Yunting reported a bunch of Tangning's work plans for this year. As Tangning's boss, he knew more about these things than Tangning did. "You can always cancel all these schedules. If you really do that, the penalty you have to pay will cost you most of your savings."
"My voice is broken, so I can sing now." Tangning said awkwardly.
"I know, so we need some time to deal with all these things. You can cancel the concert and suddenly be exposed to have a child out of wedlock. If you just find a nanny and give the child to someone to take care of, the news will inevitably leak out." Xie Yunting said seriously: "I am more trustworthy than people."
Xie Yunting persuaded Tang Ning.
"Can I tell grandpa and the others that I have a child?" Tangning requested.
"Okay." Xie Yunting didn't ask why. He asked with concern, "Have you been to the hospital for your throat problem?"
"No." Tangning had no intention of going to the hospital, after all, this was a card issue.
"Then you go to the hospital first. I'll help you take care of the child." Xie Yunting wanted to pick up the little Lettuce in Tang Ning's arms. The moment he touched the little Lettuce, she suddenly burst into tears.
Xie Yunting, who can handle anything with ease, rarely showed a trace of helplessness.
At this age, the human cub Xie Yunting has a blind spot in knowledge.
"Let me hold her again." Tangning suspected that he had developed a conditioned reflex from Little Lettuce. Whenever the child cried, he would immediately hold Little Lettuce and walk around.
Xie Yunting was not discouraged. He looked around in the living room and found a children's toy. Xie Yunting showed a gentle smile and held the toy in front of little Lettuce, but little Lettuce continued crying. Even because Xie Yunting was close to her, the crying sound that had finally subsided suddenly became louder.
Listening to a baby crying at close range is like receiving a sonic attack.
Tangning was exhausted and said to Xie Yunting, "He might be afraid of strangers. You should get closer to him first?"
Xie Yunting stood there slightly awkwardly.
Tangning carried little Lettuce and walked back and forth. He found that the further away from Xie Yunting, the quieter the little Lettuce's cries became. Tangning simply distanced himself from Xie Yunting. Sure enough, little Lettuce stopped. He grabbed the corner of Tangning's clothes with his little hands and sobbed to Tangning, "Ma~ma..."
This should have been a syllable that Little Lettuce uttered unconsciously, but when Tang Ning heard the word "Mom" in a childish voice, his heart melted.
Tangning felt that she would be happier if she could call him daddy, or say "Yes, I am the prince" in a clear and proper voice.
Before Tang Ning could bask in the joy of having a son growing up, little Lettuce started crying again.
Tang Ning looked up and saw that Xie Yunting had just seen Xiao Lujie crying, so he walked towards her. However, just as Xie Yunting took a few steps closer, Xiao Lujie started crying so hard that she almost died.
"Oh, oh, you're crying, you're crying." Tangning hurriedly distanced herself from Xie Yunting. She had cried for too long while pregnant with Lettuce and her voice was hoarse.
Afraid that Xie Yunting would come over again, Tangning immediately said to Xie Yunting after she finished coaxing Little Lettuce, "This child seems to be on good terms with you. You have to stay and help me take care of the child. Don't worry, I'll ask Lin Yun and the others to come over and help."
Xie Yunting had no choice but to stay when he saw this. Even if he could say nice things, as long as Little Lettuce started crying as soon as he went over, he would only be making things worse.
"Okay, then...is there anything else I can help you with?" Xie Yunting asked.
"Help the child get a household registration," Tangning said.
"Okay." Xie Yunting stood there for a while before leaving reluctantly.
After Xie Yunting left, Little Lettuce calmed down completely. He no longer felt any guilt for almost torturing Tangning to death. He heartlessly grasped one of Tangning's fingers with his little hand and smiled at her foolishly.
Lettuce looks very cute when it smiles.
"Why do you hate Xie Yunting so much?" Tangning cautiously poked Little Lettuce's cheek, "Little rascal, are you doing this on purpose?"
Little Lettuce drooled as he stared at Tangning stupidly. Tangning didn't look special at all as Xie Yunting said, nor did he show any of the temperament of a young prince.
"You little idiot, you little crybaby, you're drooling!" Tangning picked up the bib and wiped Little Lettuce's mouth. He then stood up to make milk powder for Little Lettuce. While he was busy, he suddenly remembered that his mother once said that he was a little crybaby when he was a baby. He loved to cry since he was a child, but he changed when he grew up.
Tang Ning turned his head to look at Little Lettuce, who was lying in the stroller at that time. Little Lettuce could only tolerate being placed in the stroller for a short period of time. If no one paid attention to him for a while, he would burst into tears.
The mother said that when she first gave birth to Tang Ning, she actually thought about abandoning Tang Ning. The thought flashed through her mind, and just when she thought about it, little Tang Ning started crying not long after he was born.
Yu's mother also cried. She had always longed for a stable and warm home. After her husband passed away, she was worried about Tang Ning's care, so she wanted to send Tang Ning to a good family. Later, when Tang Ning burst into tears, she realized that it was an idea of abandonment.
Is Rapunzel so fond of crying because she was abandoned by her parents
Tangning picked up Little Lettuce, just like he had done when he had lifted her from the cardboard box. He lowered his eyes to look into her clear eyes and assured her word by word, "No matter if you are a prince, I will abandon you."
"Ma... Ma..." Little Lettuce smiled foolishly in Tangning's arms.
