Reborn As Divine Doctor to Rule the World-Chapter 151 - 152: Feeling Jealous, Not Calling Daddy
Chapter 151 -152: Feeling Jealous, Not Calling Daddy
Pei Huaian, as usual, followed Shao He back home and casually picked up the climbing child.
After Shao He had dinner, she came to feed the child goat’s milk. Xiao Linzhang excitedly kicked his legs, crying out, “Mom…”
Shao He was stunned by his pronunciation and didn’t react for a moment. Seeing the goat’s milk close at hand, Xiao Linzhang yelled again, “Mom.”
“What… what did you just say?” Shao He nervously asked.
Xiao Linzhang reached out to grab the front of her shirt, shaking his body and moving closer.
“Do you want to drink the goat’s milk? Call out again if you want it.” Shao He looked down at Xiao Linzhang’s bright, sparkling eyes, and couldn’t help but reach out and touch them.
“Mom!” Xiao Linzhang forcefully said again.
Shao He immediately felt her heart soften, and the people behind her were stunned. No matter how much everyone taught him afterward, the little one refused to talk anymore after he was fed.
Xiao Linzhang was now around eight months old. Normally, children speak clearer at this age, but such cases occurred as well.
Qingxia laughed and said, “The young master is indeed closer to the young mistress; the first word he spoke was ‘mom.’
“The young mistress’s child would naturally call her first. Could he possibly call someone else?” Qing Shan gently reprimanded.
These words were uncomfortable for Pei Huaian to hear, his dark eyes filled with sorrow. He felt even more upset, wanting to hear Xiao Linzhang call him daddy.
Pei Huaian instructed Ah Mo to bring the prepared gifts, one for Shao He and one for the child.
“To celebrate Xiao Linzhang calling you ‘mom,’ I’m giving each of you one of these two gifts.”
The gift Pei Huaian gave to Shao He was an Eastern Pearl, which could be used to make jewelry, and the one for Xiao Linzhang was a toy.
Shao He was used to receiving such double gifts from him and thanked him, “Thank you for the gifts, but how did you know Xiao Linzhang would call me ‘mom’? Did you prepare the gifts especially for that?”
She emphasized the word “especially,” making Pei Huaian laugh awkwardly and explain, “I had planned to give them to you anyway. Now that Xiao Linzhang has called you ‘mom,’ I thought the gifts would mean something different.”
“Still, thank you,” said Shao He sincerely.
She handed the gifts to Qingxia to put away and thought about how to conduct a paternity test.
Seeing that she didn’t resist him, Pei Huaian tentatively said, “Xiao Linzhang and I get along very well. I wonder if I might visit the child occasionally during the day.”
Actually, he planned to use those daytime visits to secretly teach him to call daddy, but he wasn’t sure if Shao He would agree to let him come over.
Shao He agreed without hesitation; she knew Pei Huaian was kind to the child and wouldn’t do anything improper.
“Really? Thank you!” Pei Huaian was thrilled to hear her agreement.
In his heart, he thought: Finally, I can be close to the child and have him call me daddy!
In her heart, Shao He thought: Perhaps this way, I’ll have a chance to obtain Pei Huaian’s blood for a paternity test.
With different thoughts, they shared a smile.
That evening, when Pei Huaian returned to his mansion, everything seemed very pleasing to him. He increased the monthly money for Ah Mo and the servants and steward in the house.
The steward and the servants gaped in astonishment, not believing it, and turned to Ah Mo, asking, “What’s gotten into the prince?”
Ah Mo’s lips twitched, “I don’t know.”
Everyone looked at each other, proceeding with even more caution in their tasks.
Ah Mo caught up and muttered, “Master, Xiao Linzhang didn’t even call you ‘daddy.’ Why are you so happy?”
“You don’t understand,” Pei Huaian gave him a meaningful look.
Curiosity piqued, Ah Mo approached and said, “Master, what do you plan on doing?”
“Since Xiao Linzhang can now articulate, if I could visit during the day and teach him daily to call daddy, what do you think will happen?”
Pei Huaian believed that with Xiao Linzhang’s intelligence, it wouldn’t take long for him to start calling daddy.
Now understanding his master’s intentions, Ah Mo couldn’t help but raise a thumb in admiration, “Master, you are indeed clever.”
Master and servant shared a smile, Pei Huaian already fantasizing about the moment Xiao Linzhang would call him daddy, feeling delighted at the thought.
The incident of Chu Yu visiting Anji Hall had been the talk of the town, and Jhiang Yijia had heard about it, specifically coming to visit.
“I heard that recently Chu Yu was visiting Anji Hall daily and later even brought Luo Jiner with him. Are you alright?”
Jhiang Yijia had no idea what had transpired and thought Chu Yu had come to cause trouble. She had wanted to visit earlier, but as her body was becoming increasingly heavy, Fang Jue had advised her not to wander around. It took a lot of effort for her to finally find the time to visit today.
“It’s okay,” Shao He didn’t explain anything, as some things are the same whether explained or not.

Jhiang Yijia sighed, “Chu Yu has been frequently targeted in the imperial court lately, and I’m unable to help him.”
Her heart was filled with guilt. Doctor Shao had helped her greatly, yet she couldn’t assist Doctor Shao in any way.
Seeing the person burdened with guilt, Shao He smiled and said, “You have helped me greatly. Without your introduction, how could I have gotten close to Princess Huimin? I should be thanking you.”
“Don’t mention it, it’s a trivial matter,” Jhiang Yijia replied.
Jhiang Yijia knew that although Shao He appeared aloof, she was actually tough on the outside but soft on the inside, having realized this after spending a lot of time with her. Her heart was very tender.
She was just using a tough exterior to protect herself, possibly because she had been deeply hurt before, so she was reluctant to open up to anyone.
Jhiang Yijia could even imagine that Shao He’s past life must have been fraught with hardships, which had shaped her current personality.
