748 Zhang Leyan’s Birth (4)

The awkward silence within the room was dispelled when Leyan chose to cry, wanting to be fed once more by her mother. Zhang Jiren took the baby from her cot and gently placed Leyan in her mother's arms. 

Meng Yanran took the seat Madam Li vacated earlier and gave Zhang Leyan a good look. 

"She's beautiful." Her throat tightened at the sight of the beautiful baby in Li Meili's arms as she nursed. 

"Thanks," Li Meili smiled as Leyan released her nipple and chose to doze off. 

"I think she's finished for now. Do you want to hold her?" she asked Meng Yanran. 

"May I?" Meng Yanran was surprised. 

"Of course." Li Meili then held out her baby. 

Meng Yanran took the baby carefully into her arms. Zhang Leyan smelled so nice and looked adorable. Dark hair dusted her head and her skin was rosy. 

"Aren't you a pretty baby?" she cooed at the baby before helping her burp.
