Fated to My Billionaire Husband

Chapter 426: Chapter 426 Lots of Baby Shoes_1
 

“Are you saying that these were knitted by Jian Yufei for the baby?”

“Yes. Miss Jian didn’t know how to knit baby shoes, so she asked me. I gave her a bit of guidance, and she got the hang of it quickly. Baby shoes are tiny, so they don’t take long to make.”

Aunt Li studied the half-unraveled shoe in her hand, her eyebrows furrowing slightly, “It looks like this shoe was nearly finished. Why was it undone?”

“It’s just a ball of yarn, how could this be a shoe!” Ruan Tianling retorted, unconvinced.

Aunt Li chuckled, “Shoes knitted from yarn don’t need a mold. Just knit a piece, then sew it up with a needle. Besides, baby shoes aren’t for walking, they’re for warmth. So as long as the piece knitted from the yarn looks like a shoe when sewn up, it’s fine.”

Ruan Tianling suddenly felt childish for having unraveled something meant for his child.

“Young Master, why did Miss Jian unravel it? Did she not do a good job?” Aunt Li continued to probe.

“…My child wearing such poor-quality shoes? Discard this. Tomorrow, I will buy dozens more, all of the very best quality.”

Aunt Li insistently replied, “Young Master, no matter the quality, shoes knitted by a mother for her child are special due to her sentiment. You shouldn’t have destroyed Miss Jian’s hard work.”

Ruan Tianling’s eyes narrowed, instantly causing Aunt Li to shrink back, turning around to leave, “I’m throwing it out right now.”

Ruan Tianling looked away, a feeling of unease settling within him.

It seemed he might have overreacted. But he could also blame Jian Yufei for her stubbornness. If she had told him that she was knitting it for the baby, he wouldn’t have torn it apart.

Never mind, tomorrow he’ll have people purchase lots of baby shoes. Maybe this will appease her.

The next day, Ruan Tianling went early to work.

After breakfast, Jian Yufei sat in the living room watching television for two to three hours before a maid walked in, grinning, “Miss Jian, the young master has sent some things over.”

Jian Yufei looked sideways to see several men carrying a large box into the room.

After putting the box in the living room, one of them handed her a list, “Miss Jian, could you please confirm the quantity of the goods? If there are no issues, please sign.”

Jian Yufei took the list. It was full of various brands of baby shoes.

The maid opened the box, exclaiming, “So many baby shoes, how cute!”

The maid showed her two pairs of shoes.

Jian Yufei only glanced before signing and handing the list back to the sender.

“Miss Jian, it’s so considerate of our young master to buy so many shoes in advance for the future young master.” Aunt Li also came to look at the shoes while flying a flag for Ruan Tianling.

Jian Yufei reclined on the couch, her eyes fixed on the TV, ignoring the shoes.

He must have found out what he destroyed yesterday was the baby shoe she made so today he sent so many shoes over.

But no matter how many shoes he buys, he can’t undo anything.

What he destroyed was her effort, her love for their child, her sentiment. How could he possibly make up for that?

“Miss Jian, don’t you find them adorable?” Aunt Li arranged the shoes on the coffee table, so full it looked like a shoe sale.

Jian Yufei stood up indifferently, “I’m going to the backyard for a walk. You guys can handle these.”

Having said this, she headed towards the backyard.

“Aunt Li, actually I think the young master treats Miss Jian quite well. But her attitude is always so cold.” One of the maids whispered to Aunt Li.
