468: Sobered Up

Sobered Up

Ye Xin especially hated it when children cried. To a certain extent, it frightened her. However, now was not the time to think about her fear. She knew if Jiang Jin heard the baby's cries, Jiang Jin would definitely come over to have a look. At that time, it would be hard for her to explain herself, and the prejudice against her would only grow deeper.0

Hence, Ye Xin stepped forward and glared at A Nuan as she said, "Hurry up and coax him! Stop him from crying!"

A Nuan hurriedly nodded.

However, the baby was frightened by Ye Xin's ferocious expression and cried even harder.

A Nuan patted the baby and coaxed him in a soft voice. "Be good, baby. Don't cry, don't cry."

Ye Xin's impatience was written all over her face. She looked around to see if anyone was coming. She was anxious and embarrassed. She could not help but plead, "Don't cry. Please don't cry."

A Nuan continued to pat the baby's back gently.

However, Ye Xin was too close to the baby, and he seemed to feel like his safety was threatened. As soon as he heard Ye Xin's voice, he cried even louder than before. He hid his face against A Nuan's neck as though he could not wait to get away from Ye Xin.

How could Ye Xin understand the thoughts of a baby? She could not help but get angry. She yelled, "Shut up! Don't cry! Do you hear me?"

The baby was further frightened and continued to cry. His cry was truly heart-wrenching.

 Ye Xin felt that the baby had been too spoiled by everyone to have such a temper. She reached out again to snatch the baby away from A Nuan's arms. She had to properly educate him.

"What are you doing?" Jiang Jin's voice rang from behind.

Ye Xin's heart sank. She knew things did not look good so she turned around and called out timidly, "Grandma."

Before Ye Xin could even explain herself, A Nuan had already moved to Jiang Jin's side. Her face was slightly pale, and her forehead was covered in sweat.

When Ye Xin saw the tall figure behind Jiang Jin, her emotions became even more chaotic. 'Why is Mu Chen at home at this time?'

Mu Chen did not say anything and took the baby from A Nuan's arms. His big hand patted the baby gently before he lowered his head to touch his forehead against the baby's forehead.

The baby felt safe in his father's arms and stopped crying immediately, hiccuping.

Ye Xin was dumbfounded by this sight.

"What's going on?" Jiang Jin asked sternly as she looked at A Nuan.

A Nuan sighed in relief when she saw the baby had finally stopped crying. She glanced at Ye Xin before she softly said, "The Young Madam wants to take the baby out for a walk. The baby doesn't want to go with the Young Madam, and when the Young Madam got angry, it frightened the baby."

A Nuan explained the entire incident in a very concise manner.

Ye Xin said angrily, "Nonsense! You're the one who made the baby cry, but you dare to blame me for it! You must have secretly pinched the baby earlier! Otherwise, why would he suddenly cry? You just don't want the baby to get close to me! Tell me, what are your motives?"

Ye Xin walked forward as she spoke. When she arrived in front of A Nuan, she reached out and pushed A Nuan.

A Nuan was caught off guard. She stumbled two steps back and crashed against the wall. She looked at Ye Xin, Jiang Jin, and Mu Chen, but in the end, she did not say anything. After all, some things were clear for everyone to see even if she did not speak.

Ye Xin thought A Nuan was too frightened to speak so she was very pleased. Then, she said with an aggrieved expression, "Grandma, I saw that the weather was good so I wanted to take the baby for a walk. Who knew A Nuan would be so wicked? She wouldn't let me hold the baby. She acts as though I'm not the baby's biological mother."

"You should know if you're the baby's biological mother or not, right?" Mu Chen said coldly.

Ye Xin felt as though she had been struck by a bolt of lightning. She stood rooted to the ground as she stared at Mu Chen blankly.
