Chapter 13 Where Did the Child Come From?
Chapter 13 Where Did the Child Come From?
When Chu Xinglan mustered up her courage and turned on the kitchen light switch, the scene before her eyes left her dumbfounded.
There were no vicious thugs here, but a soft, chubby baby. This baby was so cute, like a porcelain doll, plump and exquisitely crafted.
When she saw Chu Xinglan, she wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she adorably pounced on Chu Xinglan's feet, wanting a hug and to be lifted up high.
"Mommy, Mommy!"
Chu Xinglan was stunned for a long time before realizing that the thief who had scared her half to death by breaking into her house was actually such a little baby.
No, how did this little baby climb in? With such a small body, thin arms and legs, she doesn't look like she could open the refrigerator at all. But the facts are clear: there's no one else in the kitchen besides this little baby, so it's impossible that she forgot to close the refrigerator.
"Little one, I'm not your mommy. How did you get in?"
The little one was so adorable that Chu Xinglan felt embarrassed to blame her for startling her.
She picked up the baby from the ground, and the moment she held her in her arms, Chu Xinglan's maternal instincts were awakened. Thinking back, if her child hadn't been aborted in her previous life, it would probably be just as cute and beautiful as this baby!
"Mommy, don't cry, I'll always be with you!" The little baby reached out and touched Chu Xinglan's eyes, then gave Chu Xinglan a quick kiss on the cheek.
Chu Xinglan was stunned for a long time.
she cried?
No, this little guy is just too cute! How could any careless parent lose such an adorable little one?
"Little one, who are your parents? I'll take you back right now?" Chu Xinglan asked softly.
But as soon as she asked, she realized how stupid she was. This little one looked only two or three years old, how could she possibly know who her parents were?
Chu Xinglan held the little one and looked around from her balcony.
Climbing up from the balcony? That's ridiculous. She's on the 11th floor. If she could climb up like that, she'd be a prodigy.
It's also possible they came in through the door. She's sure she locked the door tightly before going to sleep, because she's a little scared being alone, so she always checks it carefully before going to bed. Actually, it's impossible for them to come in through the window, as she sealed the window shut as well.
That's really strange, where did this little guy come from?
The little baby's crystal-clear eyes darted around as Chu Xinglan thought, as if knowing what she was thinking, and she chuckled softly.
"Mommy, baby is hungry!" The baby's soft, pink voice rang out.
How could we let such an adorable little baby go hungry? Chu Xinglan quickly carried her to the refrigerator.
Look for suitable food for your baby in the refrigerator.
This little guy was probably really hungry, which is why he was rummaging through her kitchen. When Chu Xinglan carried him into the refrigerator, the little guy's eyes lit up, but after looking around the refrigerator, the light in his eyes dimmed.
It seems she hasn't found anything she likes.
Chu Xinglan did not ignore her amusing reaction, and she deliberately took a bottle of pure milk.
The little guy shook his head frantically, as if it were about to fall off.
"What do you want to eat?"
Although the little one looked only two or three years old, she seemed to have a higher level of thinking than her peers, and she could organize her thoughts clearly. So Chu Xinglan, who really didn't know what kind of food she liked, simply let her say it herself.
"Sweets, Mommy, I want to eat sweets."
"Desserts?"
It's probably not good for her to love sweets at such a young age, but since she likes them, let's just give her a little.
Chu Xinglan carried the little one into the bedroom. Luckily, she hadn't finished the cake she brought back last night.
Chu Xinglan used a fork to scoop out a little bit from the part of her body that she hadn't touched and handed it to the baby.
The little baby shook his head: "I'm full if Mommy eats!"
"Give me food?" Chu Xinglan was surprised. Was this little one hungry or not? She was offered food, but the little one was being made to eat.
"Mommy, baby is hungry!" The little baby in Chu Xinglan's arms kept crying out that he was hungry.
This left Chu Xinglan completely bewildered. The little guy was clearly saying he was hungry, but he wouldn't eat the food Chu Xinglan offered him. Instead, he wanted Chu Xinglan to eat it. After this standoff lasted for several minutes, Chu Xinglan finally gave in and stuffed the cake into his mouth.
After Chu Xinglan ate the cake, the little baby seemed to have eaten it all himself, licked his lips, and then mumbled, "Baby wants more, baby is hungry!"
Chu Xinglan thought to herself, "She should be able to eat by herself this time. After all, she's just a two or three-year-old toddler. It's normal for her not to eat at first. Once she sees her eating, she'll definitely want to eat too."
So Chu Xinglan scooped out a little more cake and held it to the baby's mouth, but the baby still shook his head and pushed the cake into Chu Xinglan's mouth.
"Mommy eats, baby eats!"
Chu Xinglan was full of doubts, but she still ate the cake as the little guy wanted.
After finishing his meal, the little guy wanted Chu Xinglan to continue eating.
Chu Xinglan had no choice but to eat the rest of the cake with great suspicion.
After Chu Xinglan finished eating the cake, she was surprised to find that the little guy looked very satisfied and even let out a burp.
……
Chu Xinglan felt that things were getting increasingly strange.
"Baby is full, baby wants to sleep with Mommy!"
The little baby, looking completely content, wrapped his little arms around Chu Xinglan's neck and fell asleep in her arms.
"Little one, don't go to sleep yet! Who are your parents? How do I send you back?"
Chu Xinglan shook the baby in her arms, but the baby had already fallen asleep.
With no other option, Chu Xinglan gently placed the baby on the bed, then got dressed and went out.
Although she liked the baby very much, the baby wasn't her own child. The family that had lost their child must be very worried, and she should take the child away.
She thought she would definitely run into someone looking for her child, but the whole neighborhood was unusually quiet in the middle of the night. It was too late to knock on every door and ask, so she had no choice but to go to the gatehouse and ask the old man who guarded the gate. The little guy was so cute, the old man who guarded the gate all day long couldn't possibly have never seen him before.
"Grandpa, do you have a child in that family?"
"What? What are you saying?" Whether he was still half asleep or hard of hearing, the old man covered one ear with his hand and asked loudly.
“I said, do you know that family has a child? A very cute and beautiful child.”
"No, there couldn't possibly be any children in our neighborhood!" The old man looked at Chu Xinglan as if she were a human trafficker.
Chu Xinglan felt embarrassed and quickly explained, "Sir, I'm a new resident here. I bought my house here because I found a child, so I'm asking you if you can help me find her family."
