Chapter 1301: Half a platoon of concubines is just a small matter.

Cai Yinong blushed slightly at the compliment, but her smile grew even sweeter: "Mom, I never knew before why Lin Lang was so handsome."

"After seeing you in person today, I understand why I look like my mother. Lin Lang inherited your good looks, which is why he is so handsome."

"Oh my, daughter-in-law Yinong, you really know how to talk!" Shen Cuiping was overjoyed by the flattery and waved her hand with a smile.

Amidst laughter and conversation, Cai Yinong lowered her head, gently touched the top of her daughter's soft hair, and said softly, "Yan'er, quickly kowtow to your grandmother and say hello."

Lin Zhiyan, dressed in ancient costume, wore an exquisite light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), with delicate floral patterns embroidered on the hem.

Her long, black hair was styled into two cute buns, each tied with a pink ribbon and adorned with a hairpin with pearl tassels that swayed gently with her movements, making her look like a fairy who had stepped out of an ancient painting.

Hearing her mother's words, Xiao Zhiyan obediently walked up to Shen Cuiping, knelt down properly, and called out in a clear voice, "Granddaughter Lin Zhiyan greets Grandma!"

The voice was clear and sweet, and it melted Shen Cuiping's heart.

"Oh dear, my precious granddaughter, get up, get up!" Shen Cuiping hurriedly bent down and helped Xiao Zhiyan up, then tenderly rubbed her little knees.

As soon as she finished speaking, she hugged Xiao Zhiyan tightly, first kissing her rosy little face, and then gently touching the pearl tassel on her head, her eyes full of love and amazement.

"Oh my, my precious granddaughter, are you dressed up like someone from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Um, Grandma, do I look good in ancient costume?" Xiao Zhiyan asked with a smile.

Shen Cuiping looked at her with increasing delight and couldn't help but praise, "Beautiful! My dear granddaughter, you are so beautiful! You look like a little princess straight out of an ancient TV drama, so pretty and spirited!"

After being praised by her grandmother, Xiao Zhiyan's long eyelashes fluttered and a sweet smile appeared on her lips.

Shen Cuiping touched Xiao Zhiyan's face, her eyes full of doting affection.

“When your father was a child, Grandma wanted a daughter. Now that she has so many beautiful granddaughters, Grandma is so happy that she will wake up laughing in her dreams.”

Xiao Zhiyan blinked her clear, bright eyes, like two black grapes, and looked at Shen Cuiping curiously, asking softly.

"Grandma, you've seen so many grandchildren in one day, can you remember all our names?"

Shen Cuiping was taken aback by the sudden question, then couldn't help but laugh, saying with a hint of self-deprecation, "My dear granddaughter, Grandma's memory is quite good."

"But there are so many of you little darlings, and you all look so much like your father, so it's inevitable that Grandma might mix up your names or call you by the wrong name. Don't be angry with Grandma then."

Upon hearing this, everyone burst into laughter.

Cai Yinong looked at Shen Cuiping with a smile and said gently, "Mom, you've just come back. After you play with the children for a few more days, you'll remember their features and appearances."

Yang Mi chimed in, "Yes, then Mom, you won't call your grandson and granddaughter by the wrong names anymore."

Lin Lang also said with a smile, "Tomorrow, I'll send someone to make a set of name tags for the children so they can wear them every day and help your grandmother remember them better."

"After spending a few days with the kids wearing designer clothes, they'll get used to their mother and won't call their grandchildren by the wrong names."

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping immediately smiled and nodded, "Oh, that's a great idea! This way, Mom can recognize all the little ones!"

She looked down at Xiao Zhiyan in her arms, then at the group of children around her who were staring at her expectantly, and smiled with her eyes crinkling.

"You are all Grandma's precious darlings, and Grandma doesn't want to call you by the wrong names."

The little ones giggled when they heard this, their faces filled with anticipation.

Just then, Marry Yang, holding her daughter Lin Zhirou's hand, walked forward gracefully and said sweetly, "Mom, I am your daughter-in-law, Marry Yang."

Shen Cuiping turned her head upon hearing the voice and saw Marry Yang, a blue-eyed mixed-race woman, holding the hand of a granddaughter with distinctly exotic features. She exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, I have a foreign daughter-in-law?"

"Marry's daughter-in-law looks just like a Barbie doll, she's so beautiful!"

Lin Lang, standing to the side, said, "Mom, Marry is of mixed Chinese and American descent, and has Chinese citizenship, so she's not a foreigner. She's currently the deputy director of Shanghai TV and a well-known program director in China."

Shen Cuiping looked at Marry Yang, her eyes growing brighter and brighter, filled with admiration and affection.

"Oh my, Marry's daughter-in-law, you are so beautiful!"

"Those big eyes, that nose, that fair skin, mixed-race people are really good-looking!"

"Our Lin Lang is so lucky to have married such a beautiful and capable daughter-in-law like you!"

Marry Yang blushed slightly at the compliment, but maintained her elegant and proper smile, replying softly, "Mom, you flatter me. It is my blessing to become the daughter-in-law of the Lin family."

"Please continue to guide me, Mom. I will definitely take good care of you." Her voice was soft and pleasant.

Shen Cuiping felt very pleased to hear this and nodded repeatedly, "Good, good, good! What a good daughter-in-law!"

At this moment, she looked down at Xiao Zhiyan in her arms, carefully put her back on the ground, and then smoothed out the wrinkles on her skirt.

Then, Shen Cuiping turned her gaze to Lin Zhirou next to Marry Yang, and her eyes lit up again.

"Oh my, look at your precious daughter with Ah Lang, she looks just like a little angel!"

"Your eyes are just as beautiful as your mother's, so adorable!"

Lin Zhirou was a little shy from the praise and quietly hid behind Marry Yang, but couldn't help but peek out and look curiously at the unfamiliar grandmother.

Seeing this, Marry Yang gently stroked her daughter's hair and said with a smile, "Zhirou, quickly kowtow to your grandmother and say hello."

Little Zhirou then timidly stepped forward, knelt down and kowtowed to Shen Cuiping, and said in her childish voice, "Granddaughter Lin Zhirou greets Grandma!"

That voice was as sweet as honey, instantly melting Shen Cuiping's heart.

"Oh, my precious granddaughter is so good!"

Shen Cuiping hurriedly bent down to help Xiao Zhirou up, squatted down in front of her granddaughter and touched her face, her eyes full of doting affection.

"Grandma, can I play with you while my mom goes to work at the TV station?"

"Sure! Grandma is perfectly fine now. From now on, she'll stay home every day to play with you and cook you delicious food, okay?"

Little Zhirou tilted her head back and giggled sweetly, "Okay!"

Holding the adorable little Zhirou in her arms, Shen Cuiping's heart was filled with the sweetness of her granddaughter. "Oh my, this little darling is just so lovable!"

As she spoke, she gave Xiao Zhirou a quick kiss on her rosy cheek, and then couldn't resist giving her another kiss on the other cheek.

Little Zhirou giggled as she was kissed, reaching out her soft little hands to hug Shen Cuiping's neck. She nestled softly in her arms, gently rubbing her head against Shen Cuiping's shoulder like a clingy little kitten.

"Grandma, Rou'er loves you!"

Shen Cuiping beamed with joy, bent down and kissed Xiao Zhirou on the forehead again, saying affectionately, "You're such a good granddaughter, Grandma likes you even more!"

"I'll have a grandma now, that's great!" Little Zhirou smiled happily.

Shen Cuiping gently tapped her granddaughter's pert little nose with her finger and asked with delighted eyes, "How old is Rou'er?"

"Grandma, I'm six years old."

"My dear granddaughter, you're so adorable! Give Grandma a kiss."

Xiao Zhirou smiled shyly and sweetly, then immediately tilted her head and leaned forward to give Shen Cuiping a quick kiss on the cheek.

Shen Cuiping was so happy she almost lost her bearings. She looked down at the little Zhirou in her arms, liking her more and more, and gently pinched her little cheek.

"My dear granddaughter, tell Grandma what your favorite food is? Grandma will make it for you tomorrow."

Xiao Zhirou blinked her beautiful big eyes and said with a sweet, playful smile, "I want to eat rice soaked in tomato and beef brisket soup, and candied sweet potatoes."

"Okay, okay!" Shen Cuiping nodded repeatedly.

"Grandma will make you tomato and beef brisket soup with rice and candied sweet potatoes for lunch tomorrow, so Zhirou can eat her fill, okay?"

"Great!" Xiao Zhirou clapped her hands excitedly.

Then, she hugged Shen Cuiping's neck again and gave her grandmother a big kiss on the cheek, saying, "Grandma, you're so good! I love Grandma the most!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping's eyes instantly welled up with tears.

She hugged Xiao Zhirou tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "Oh, Grandma loves Zhirou the most too. Our Zhirou is Grandma's precious darling, Grandma's little cotton-padded jacket."

"Hehe..." Xiao Zhirou's eyes curved into crescent moons, and even the tip of her nose exuded a sweet and innocent charm.

Shen Cuiping looked down at her beloved granddaughter, who was smiling radiantly in her arms, and felt a warm glow in her heart.

These grandchildren are like sweet treats from heaven.

Whether you call it salvation or a cure, it's these adorable little lives that make Shen Cuiping feel that the years to come will be filled with countless sweetness.

Just then, the shy Chu Xia slowly stepped forward, holding her four-year-old son, Xiao Haozhe's, hand in hand.

The little guy, with his chubby face, made a funny face at Lin Lang.

"You little rascal, you're being naughty again." Lin Lang grinned and pointed at Xiao Haozhe.

"Hehe... Father!" Xiao Haozhe broke free from his mother's hand and rushed into Lin Lang's arms for a hug.

Lin Lang had just picked up Xiao Haozhe and kissed him when he heard Chu Xia greet Shen Cuiping with a sweet smile.

"Mom, I'm your daughter-in-law, Chu Xia. I met you when I was little, do you remember me?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Cuiping looked at the youthful and charming Chu Xia and said with a warm smile, "I remember, I remember, when you and A Lang were little, in..."

Shen Cuiping was about to say that they had played house together at Aunt Mei's house.

Before she could finish speaking, she quickly changed her mind, saying, "Mom remembers."

"Back when I was at my daughter-in-law Tingmei's house, I met you when you were just starting elementary school. You even played house with Alang. I never imagined that you two would end up together."

Chu Xia smiled sweetly: "This shows that Lin Lang and I have a destiny that was planted in our hearts since childhood."

“That’s right! Heaven has destined you to be the daughter-in-law of our Lin family.” Shen Cuiping smiled and took Chu Xia’s hand, showing the greatest kindness a mother-in-law could offer.

Guan Tingmei, who was standing to the side, breathed a sigh of relief, but also looked a little embarrassed. After all, Chu Xia was her ex-husband's niece and called her aunt.

Now that Guan Tingmei has become Lin Lang's concubine, she is not only a generation younger than her best friend and aunt Cuiping, but also a sister of the same generation as Chuxia.

This made her hesitant to respond, leaving her in a slightly awkward situation all night.
