I turned my head and glanced at the woman. She had a meticulously done makeup, her hair styled in soft curls, and she wore a bright floral dress paired with high heels, looking very fashionable. I replied lightly, "It's nothing."
The woman seemed unwilling to leave just like that; she continued to smile at the child in my arms and said, "Oh my, how did this child turn out so beautiful! Is it a girl? How old is she?"
I felt a bit impatient but still politely answered, "One month old."
She then asked, "What is the child's name?" I felt somewhat displeased, thinking that this woman was being overly enthusiastic, but I reluctantly replied, "Her nickname is Tang Tang."
The woman smiled again and said, "What a lovely name! She must be a sweet little girl." Then she asked, "Where do you live?" I finally couldn't hold back any longer and coldly replied, "Sorry, we have something to attend to. We need to go now."
As I finished speaking, I saw Shen Yulin's car slowly approaching. I hurriedly picked up the child and quickly walked towards it. This woman was just too enthusiastic for my comfort. All I wanted was to leave as soon as possible, but just when I thought I could escape, she abruptly blocked my way again.
Still wearing that uncomfortable smile, she softly asked, "Young lady, don't be in such a hurry. I mean no harm! You see how young you are; a boy is naturally precious, but what use is a girl? How about this: I'll buy this child from you? As for the price..." While lowering her voice, she extended five fingers towards me. I tightly held the child in my arms and felt a wave of intense disgust at her expression. So, I chose to ignore her and directly rushed into Shen Yulin's embrace.
Shen Yulin carefully took the child from me and looked at me with confusion, asking, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" However, I didn't respond to his question; I quickly sat in the passenger seat as if wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Shen Yulin didn't press further. He gently placed the child in the cradle in the back seat and started the car, taking me home. Throughout the journey, my thoughts surged like a tide; images of that woman's nauseating expression kept flashing through my mind. Her face filled me with disgust and anger, emotions that gradually eroded my inner peace and made me increasingly restless.
Finally, the car arrived downstairs at our home. Without even picking up the child again, I stormed upstairs in anger while Shen Yulin silently followed behind with a worried expression on his face. Upon entering the door, Shen Yulin handed the child over to Aunt Zhao before following me into the room.
Once the door was closed, Shen Yulin unhesitatingly pulled me tightly into his embrace. A wave of frustration surged within me as I tried to break free from his hold but to no avail. Reluctantly, I allowed him to hold me.
"Baby, what happened? Are you feeling down?" Hearing his concerned inquiry made my tears flow like a dam bursting. Shen Yulin was startled and quickly comforted me by saying, "Don't be sad; please tell me what happened! Don't cry!"
His voice was filled with urgency and worry, touching my heart deeply. In his embrace, I felt a sense of comfort as my previously tense body gradually relaxed.
