All of You Have Been Duped by Her! (19)

Luo Anning recovered from the shock and forced herself to smile. "Grandpa, Mother… " 0

"Lass Anning, didn't you sleep well last night? You seem tired," Jiang Peihua asked concernedly.

After placing her hand on her forehead and ensuring that her temperature was normal, Jiang Peihua put her hand away while feeling relieved.

"Rascal, Lass Anning, Old Mr. Jiang's great-grandchild is going to turn one month old in a few days. I was thinking about giving them a few sets of baby clothes as gifts but I was worried that my taste is poor and out of trend, so I decided to ask you two along to help pick something out," Old Mr. Rong said, hiding his intentions extremely well.

However, he was undoubtedly trying to rush them and pressure them into giving birth. Luo Anning could not help but think to herself, Indeed, he's a sly and wise old man who used to be a shrewd businessman.

Luo Anning and Rong Yan smiled while picking out some baby clothes with Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua. However, deep down, they were not as happy as they seemed to be.

A part of Luo Anning's heart was slowly crumbling.

"Lass Anning, how does this one look to you?" Jiang Peihua asked with joy written all over her face as she held up a panda-themed infant clothing.

"It's adorable and it's very suitable for children," said Luo Anning who knew how stiff her smile was.

Jiang Peihua nodded fervently and handed the clothing to the store assistant before continuing to pick out more clothes, not noticing the expression on Luo Anning's face.

On the other hand, Old Mr. Rong was looking at suits meant for children of three to five years old and he said emotionally, "Having lived to this age, I've rarely envied anyone but this time, Old Jiang really makes me green with envy."

Rong Yan mindlessly fiddled with the delicate clothes with his fingertips and said, "Grandpa, you agreed not to rush us but you're doing it again aren't you?"

Old Mr. Rong glowered at him and slammed his cane against the ground. "That's my only wish. Can't you fulfill it?"

Rong Yan immediately stepped forward to hold Old Mr. Rong and said, "Sure, sure, I will satisfy your wishes! When we go back, Anning and I will work hard for a baby and give birth to your great-grandchild as soon as possible. Will that do?"

Thrilled to hear his promise, Old Mr. Rong smiled benevolently and exclaimed, "You rascal! You'd better not make empty promises, or you'll get it from me!"

"I won't, how would I dare to?"

Old Mr. Rong shot Jiang Peihua a glance and the latter immediately pulled Luo Anning towards her before walking to them excitedly.

"Let's go, we've picked out enough clothes. Let's select some gifts." Old Mr. Rong headed downstairs with a smile.

Luo Anning looked at Rong Yan puzzledly but Rong Yan put a hand on his forehead helplessly, hinting to her that everything was fine and that she need not worry.

After they made their way downstairs, a figure appeared.

The daughter of Mo Xiyan's colleague was about to turn a month old too. As the newly-appointed head of her department, Mo Xiyan who received an invitation to the celebration, felt that she ought to buy some gifts.

Hence, she proceeded to the mall to buy some baby clothes together with her colleagues, but the last thing she expected was to run into Luo Anning and the rest!

While hiding behind a pillar, she heard the entire conversation between Rong Yan and Old Mr. Rong.

She gripped the dress tightly in her hand and watched as they vanished down the escalator. She wished she could dash forward and tell Old Mr. Rong and Jiang Peihua - "All of you have been duped by her!!"
