BXBX NOVEL Chapter 60 New Family Member
"Do not scare cute Shane. He is a victim of a pregnant woman\'s scary threats," Bai Renxiang tried to reason out with her mother. She was tired of sticking with just food. It was boring.
"Oh, I know he was a victim. Just like how you are going to be a victim of my scolding," Jiang Meilin took hurried strides to her and snatched the bag of chips from her hands. "Give me that."
"Hey, that is not fair. I want my potato chips now," Bai Renxiang whined. "Oh, do not make that puppy face. You are going to become a mother soon. Eat something healthier like the apples I pealed for you I the kitchen," her mother scolded her.
"But I want potato chips. Even my baby wants it."
"Do not involve my grandchild in your desires." Seeing as her daughter was still hell-bent on eating the chips, she sighed in defeat. "Oh alright. You can have the chips but only for today. You can not have it tomorrow and the next u til you have delivered the baby. Understood?" She warned to which Bai Renxiang steadily agreed.
"Good morning aunty, good morning Shin and Shane. And good morning Renxiang. How was your night?" An average looking man in his early twenties walked into the store. He was a regular customer of theirs and also their neighbour\'s son.
Author: Quick info. He has been crushing on Bai Renxiang two weeks after their arrival. He is very shy *wink*
"Good morning Minsheng. \'Our\' night was fine. And yours," Jiang Meilin said hinting to him that Bai Renxiang was not the only one who slept last night.
"It was fine. I am here to get some groceries for mum," he said scratching his head awkwardly. He knew that Jiang Meilin knows about his secret crush on her daughter.
"Okay then. Carry on with your shopping." Just like other days, customers came to buy groceries from the store. Some generous customers would drop tips in appreciation for the fresh vegetables Jiang Meilin always had.

Day of delivery, 8 May, 20XX.
"Miss push harder, the head is almost out," the delivery doctor encouraged Bai Renxiang who was bathed in sweat making few strands of her hair to glue to her forehead.
"Aaahhh!" She screamed as she tried to push it he baby out of her. The doctor and nurses continued to coax her to push more. One of thenurses helped on wiping away the drops of sweat of her forehead.
"Miss you are almost there."
"You can do it."
"Push a little more." Their voice rang out in the room.
"Aaahhh!" After pushing, sucking in air and pushiness again, the baby was finally out followed by its loud cry filling the whole room. Bai Renxiang\'s head dropped weakly. She felt drained both physically and mentally.
"Good job miss. You did well and you have a boy," the doctor congratulated her and placed the wrapped baby in her hands. The baby had been wiped clean so the fairness of the skin was revealed. Just as Bai Renxiang held the baby, he opened his eyes.
They nurses gasped in surprise at the colour of his beautiful clear eyes. Eyes that were as blue as the surface of the sea and as bright as a clear sky. Even Bai Renxiang was surprised. Seeing her new born child\'s blue eyes reminded her of the man she had a one nightstand with at the hotel. He also had blue eyes like her son. She smiled sweetly at her baby. Her new found joy and ray of hope in this cruel world.
After the safe delivery, the doctor walked out of the operation theatre and asked for Bai Renxiang\'s relatives. Jiang Meilin rushed towards the doctor and asked about the well being of her daughter and grandchild.
"Madam, your daughter is safe as well as the baby. We would be shifting her to her ward now. Meanwhile, I need you to follow me so that we could discuss you daughter\'s health," the doctor informed.
"I will go on your behalf madam. Please use this time to be with the young miss, Shin said with a straight face. He was the eldest and more serious one between him and his fellow bodyguard in disguise. The doctor then proceeded to his cabin with Shin following behind.
"Let us go and meet little Ren and welcome our new family member. Call Dad and tell him about the news," Jiang Meilin said in excited as she rushed towards her daughter\'s ward along with Shane. She is now a grandma. Her joy new no bounds.
Jiang Meilin entered the room to see her daughter protectively holding the new born baby. She was looking pale but that paleness could not hide the joy in her eyes and her smile. This was how Jiang Meilin felt when she first held baby Bai Renxiang in her arms.
"Congratulations my dear," she interrupted Bai Renxiang\'s sweet time with her baby. Looking up to the voice that just spoke, Bai Renxiang smile widened even more at her mother.
"Mum come and take a look at my beautiful son," she praised. "Oh, it is a boy. What a pleasant gift from God. My, such beautiful blue eyes. I think it must be from his unknown father," Jiang Meilin said with a pure smile.
"It is from that man. I want to cherish this gift I have received in form of hope. I will give him the best and shower him with love that he would not even need a father," Bai Renxiang promised. She had found a reason to be strong again. A reason to forget the past and think of only the future. A bright future for her and her son.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Jiang Meilin asked. She was now holding the baby in her arms. Caressing his soft cheek.
"Yes. Since his my hope, joy and my golden treasure, I have decided to name him Xiaojin, as in my little gold."
