337— Shocking Su Qianhua Yet Again

"He's truly your godson. See how happy he looks staying in your arms." Jiang Philip said. He had been fussy with every visitor, even his grandparents. For him to be this quiet, he must like her a lot.

Pei Yueran smiled, gratified. When she held a finger towards him, he caught it in his chubby fist and refused to let go. His beautiful blue eyes were even more evident up close.

"Ranran has always had a way with children," Su Qianhua supplied from the side. Then talking to her son, she said, "You're already such a good bootlicker at your age."

Jiang Philip smiled, obviously proud of his son.

"He definitely recognizes that you're his future mother-in-law, that's why," Su Qianhua added, teasing Pei Yueran.

"Again with your nonsense. Leave my godson alone and don't corrupt him," Pei Yueran retorted softly, not wanting to scare the precious treasure.

He smelled of milk and powder, and he reminded her of when Han Yichen was still a baby. She didn't want to let go, but reluctantly released him when he started to cry for real this time.

"Seems he's hungry," Kathy commented.

Pei Yueran nodded and gave him to Su Qianhua. She carried him and without warning, handed him over to Li Chuanmo, who held him purely by reflex. She teased, "Boss Li, you still have some skills oh."

Li Chuanmo who was caught unprepared stared at the tot in his arms. Hazel eyes met blue ones, and David let out a short cry before going silent, as if he got scared by Li Chuanmo's cold face and couldn't decide if his cries would work on this stranger.

"My son is so smart. He knows how to adapt to circumstances," Jiang Philip boasted.

Li Chuanmo looked steadily at the tiny boy that was contesting to be the husband of the daughter he still didn't have, and frowned. David's rosebud lips quivered.

Fortunately, Pei Yueran smoothly "rescued" him out of her husband's arms, "Don't scare my godson."

Then handing him back to his mother, she said, "Alright, go and feed him quickly."

"I obey the imperial decree," Su Qianhua said, rolling her eyes as she cradled her son, "Let's go to the room and talk."

Pei Yueran agreed, and they left together. Kathy went to make dinner and Jiang Philip sat down with Li Chuanmo, talking about work related projects.

As soon as Pei Yueran entered their room, she took one look at the rumpled sheets and knew exactly what they had been up to before their arrival. Even the smell in the air had not dissipated.

She took a step back out, "Maybe we should change places?"

Su Qianhua didn't get it at first, but when she eventually did, she had the grace to blush, "I forgot we were busy earlier."

"Uh-uhn. This was the "urgent business" both of you were taking care of, right?" Pei Yueran teased as they moved to the guest room.

"Yep, it was urgent indeed. David's father was hungry and I had to feed him," Su Qianhua said with an innocent face.

Pei Yueran started coughing.

Pretending not to understand the hint, Su Qianhua continued, "I now have my hands full, feeding two people separately. And they both eat a lot!"

Pei Yueran couldn't continue listening, "I get the gist, you don't need to say anything more."

"What? Don't you feed Boss Li too? Don't tell me you're still too shy to admit it?"

"Qianhua! If you don't talk, no one would think you're dumb!" Pei Yueran said, blushing slightly. No matter how unhinged she had become in the bedroom, thanks to Li Chuanmo's diligent tutoring, she still couldn't talk about it casually ah.

"I meant food, what are you so shy about? Who's the naughty one now?" Su Qianhua playfully teased her friend.

Only after horsing around did she mercifully let her off. As she skillfully nursed David, she looked at her friend, "Let me now take a proper look at my newly minted heiress friend. So how was the Capital?"

Pei Yueran tensed, an action Su Qianhua couldn't help but notice, "Did something happen?"

Pei Yueran didn't evade the question and went straight into telling her the events of that weekend.

Su Qianhua was shocked.

"Ranran, what in the world?! Why did you put yourself in danger? How could Boss Li even agree to that idea?"

"I badgered him to. But it worked out just fine. I'm safe, and so is everyone else."

"But it was too dangerous! What if something untoward happened to you? Who knew finding your birth family could be so dangerous?!" Due to her shock, David was disturbed, and he whimpered. She quickly tried to appease him.

Pei Yueran tried to calm her down, "Thankfully, nothing happened. They were apprehended in time." Li Chuanmo told her that Charlie had taken them back to Country F. The plan was to slam them with some charges and let them relax in jail for a few years.

"Thankfully. But don't ever risk your life like that again. Anything could have happened. You were lucky this time, but what about next time?" Su Qianhua said with a concerned look.

To ease the seriousness, Pei Yueran joked, "You're still looking forward to a next time?"

"Oh, what am I saying? peh peh peh, cancelled." Su Qianhua said in a hurry, while Pei Yueran smiled.

They both fell silent for a few moments, Su Qianhua still looking intently at her friend's face.

Then she said, "Is there something else? Lay it all on me at once. I can't stand the suspense."

"Let's continue once David is done nursing." Pei Yueran hedged.

"There's really more? Ranran—" Su Qianhua looked like she was about to cry.

"Shhh, you'll scare David."

Su Qianhua kept quiet and tried to concentrate on her son. Inwardly, she was thinking about what the news could be.

As soon as David finished nursing, she burped him quickly and put him down before turning to face her friend, "Spill, I'm ready."

Pei Yueran said, "Okay. Don't get worked up, okay?"

Su Qianhua hurriedly nodded.

"Promise?"

"Promise."

Pei Yueran took a deep breath before saying, "Han Lei is alive. I saw him in the Capital."

There was silence as Su Qianhua tried to make sense of the information.

The moment it clicked, she let out an earth-shattering yell, "WHAT?!"

David was scared awake immediately by his mother's scream and he started bawling.

Pei Yueran got up, "I told you to calm down. Now you've scared him."

In seconds, Jiang Philip had arrived in the room, summoned by his son's cries. Su Qianhua gave David to him, "Please pet him to sleep."

Jiang Philip nodded and asked, "Are you okay Baby?"

Su Qianhua nodded, "Let's talk later."

"See what you have done. I told you to calm down." Pei Yueran spoke after he left the room.
