Suddenly, Xia Ling felt very upset.
She didn’t know what came over her. Her legs seemed to have a mind of their own. Unknowingly, she walked back to the cramped security office. “Let me bring the child back.” She said to the security officer. “I will give him a bath and prepare something for him to eat. When you’ve found his family, you can pick him up at my place.”
The security officer looked at the dirty child.
The child’s eyes were large. Although he looked like he had rolled in the mud, he still looked cute and pitiful. The security officer’s heart softened. “Children should be well taken care of. Miss Ye, I’ll have to trouble you then.”
Xia Ling replied that it was not much trouble and reached out to hold the child’s hand. “How about you go with me?”
Joy flashed across the child’s face and he nodded vigorously. Looking at his happy expression, Xia Ling’s mood improved. She held his chubby hand like she was holding the world.
She took him home.
The nanny who greeted her had the shock of her life. “Miss, this is...”
“A lost child.” Xia Ling said, “Nanny Tao, prepare dinner and remember to cook a larger variety of dishes so that there’s something he likes. After that, clean up a room for him to stay in.”
Nanny Tao quickly acknowledged her and went to the kitchen to start cooking.
Xia Ling went to the bathroom to fill bathtub with water. She said to the small boy, “Come, I will help you bathe.” Once she spoke, she felt that what she said was a little inappropriate. Although the child was very young, they had a gender difference...
After hesitating, she asked, “Do you know how to shower by yourself?”
The small boy weakly shook his head.
Xia Ling asked, “In the past, who used to bathe you?”
“Uncle, grandpa, and a few other uncles.” The small boy counted using his fingers.
Xia Ling was in a difficult situation. Sure enough, only adults of the same gender bathed him. As a female, it was not very convenient to bath a boy. She gently asked, “How about you try bathing yourself?”
The little boy blinked and looked at her cluelessly.
Xia Ling took a towel, wiped the black marks on his face, and then placed the towel in his hands. “Look, you can wash like that.”
The small boy tried to wipe himself and made his face even dirtier.
Xia Ling was speechless.
Just as she was thinking about whether to look for a security officer to help her out, she heard the child softly say, “Sister, help me bathe.” He even placed the towel back in her hands.
He looked at her with an innocent expression.
Xia Ling couldn’t stand his pitiful animal-like look. Her heart softened and she agreed. She took off his dirty clothes and placed them in the bathtub. After that, she applied shower gel on him and cleaned him thoroughly.
When the mud and dirt were removed, the child’s initial appearance was revealed.
The child was actually very good looking. His facial features were like an angel’s and his skin was very white. He was very chubby and lovable. Even though Xia Ling was cautious about the difference in gender, she couldn’t help but touch him a few times. His skin just felt perfect to touch...
After his bath, she carried him out of the bathtub and wrapped him with a bathrobe.
She then took a towel to dry his hair.
This child was very obedient throughout the entire process. He did not resist at all and only curiously looked at her. Sometimes, he would say something to her, but his voice always sounded muffled.
It was so muffled that it did not seem like words.
Xia Ling had a hard time drying him. She had to resist the urge to touch him, pinch his cheeks, or accidentally take advantage of him. Finally, she held his hand as they walked out of the bedroom. Looking at him covered in the bathrobe, she felt a little troubled. She had no clothes for children. What should she do? She couldn’t let him eat in a bathrobe.
She thought about it and took him to her bedroom. She dug through her closet and pulled out a pure white blouse. It had a lace princess style, but she let him wear it. She didn’t mean to make him wear women’s clothing. It was just that she only had female clothes in her house and only this item was the shortest.
Luckily, he was very obedient and not picky. He allowed her to dress him up like a doll.
It was originally a very small S size, but it looked very big on the child. The short sleeves literally became long sleeves, and the ruffled part of the shirt fell to the ground. It was like he was stuffed into a pile of clothes.
Xia Ling looked at it and found a few pins to pin up the long part of the shirt. After being a Diva for two lifetimes, although she couldn’t sew, she usually handled her own costumes backstage and was very familiar with the process. Soon, she made the blouse look more fitting.
However, he still looked like a little princess.
The nanny pushed the door open. “Miss, dinner is ready.”
After looking at the princess-like child, she was startled.
Xia Ling smiled bitterly. “I don’t have clothes and just let him wear this in the meantime. Is it very ugly?”
“No, no, no.” The nanny quickly said. “Miss is really skillful. It looks really good.” She was speaking the truth. That small boy originally looked beautiful beyond words. With Xia Ling’s skillful adjustments, he could literally dazzle the entire world. “I’ve never seen such a pretty child.”
Only then was Xia Ling relieved.
She took a few steps back and carefully sized up the child. “It truly is a very pretty child. If he were a child star, he would definitely become famous overnight.” She didn’t know who was careless enough to lose such a beautiful boy.
After dressing him up, she took the child to the dining area to eat dinner.
That child was easier to take care of than she imagined. He was not picky and ate a little of every dish. He ate so much that his stomach became round and he kept saying, “So good. It’s so good.” His praise made Xia Ling and the nanny smile.
There was no news from the security officer.
Xia Ling settled the child in the guest room for a night. The next day, she personally went to the security office to get updates.
The chief security officer was quite troubled. “Miss Ye, we’ve already asked all of the residents in this community and none of them have lost their children recently. I suggest that you report the case to the police and let the police handle it.”
Xia Ling frowned. She did not expect such a twist in events. However, she had no choice but to make a police report.
The police also could not discover any leads.
A few days later, they told her: “Miss Ye, we’ve already done a careful search. Recently, there’s no news of any children missing or any human trafficking cases. This child might have been deliberately abandoned. I suggest that you take him to the orphanage.”
“He’s such a beautiful child. Who would abandon him?” Xia Ling was in disbelief.
“There’s nothing impossible in this world.” The police said, “There are too many cruel people in this world.”
Helplessly, Xia Ling returned to the villa.
That little boy was playing in the small garden. He was covered in mud again. A squirrel jumped on his head and swayed its tail.
On the other hand, he was carefully opening nuts for the squirrel.
