Even a tough guy like Yan Shao felt his eyes well up with tears when he heard his beloved daughter's sweet, childlike cry.

Thinking back, a few months ago, I received this newborn baby from the nurse. She nestled in my arms like a little kitten, her eyelids swollen, but she looked at me with no fear and full of curiosity.

Over the past few months, he has been feeding her, changing her diapers, and coaxing her to sleep. In the blink of an eye, the kitten has started calling him "Dad."

"Good boy! My baby is so good!"

Young Master Yan was both moved and excited. He cupped her chubby little face and kissed her little mouth.

"Daddy...Daddy...hug...hug..."

The little girl who was just clinging to Zhu Qianying now stretched out her arms to Yan Shao. Yan Shao reached out and scooped his daughter away from Zhu Qianying.

"Horse... horse..."

Once Xiaoxiao started speaking, she began to utter different monosyllabic words one after another, like pouring out beans.

When Yan Shao heard her say "horse," he didn't react at first. The little girl was quite impatient. Seeing that her father didn't react, she reached out her little hand and tugged at Yan Shao's shoulder, lifting her short legs. It was clear that she wanted to step over Yan Shao's shoulder.

Yan Shao quickly supported her little bottom with his hands. At this moment, he finally understood that when the little girl said "horse horse," she meant that he wanted her to ride on his back!

"Don't worry, baby, Daddy will let you ride on his back right away."

As he spoke, he reached under the little girl's armpit, gripped her arm tightly, and lifted her up over his shoulder. In the blink of an eye, the little girl was sitting steadily on his shoulder.

"Ma...ma...cha!"

The little girl happily tugged at his hair with one hand and his ear with the other, swinging her little legs joyfully and shouting loudly. With her appearance, it wouldn't be surprising if you thought she was a little boy.

But she had an extremely pretty and delicate face, and her jet-black hair was styled into two pigtails. The pigtails swayed back and forth with her movements, making her look incredibly energetic.

Fortunately, everyone in the Yan family liked her lively and energetic personality, including even the old master Yan, who was usually very old-fashioned. When he saw the little girl like this, he smiled and said, "Indeed, she is a descendant of the Yan family!"

However, the little girl's personality was not only inherited from the Yan family, but also from Old Madam Yan and Zhu Qianying.

Straightening up, Zhu Qianying quickly took out her phone and captured this extremely precious moment in Xiaoxiao's life.

When Zizai, the older brother, came home from school, he hadn't even entered the house when he saw his father carrying his precious little sister on his shoulders as he walked out of the house.

"younger sister!"

The little guy, carrying a small backpack, waved and ran happily towards his dad and sister.

The little girl wrapped her arms around Yan Shao's head and called out to Zizai who was running over, "Brother... Brother!"

It seems this little girl is planning to gather her entire family in one day!

Zizai first stared wide-eyed in surprise, then, after realizing what was happening, he hopped and skipped over.

"Little one, are you calling me brother? Wow, my little sister can call me now! That's amazing!"

Zizai found his backpack too heavy, so he took it off and stuffed it into the arms of the driver who was following behind him. Then he took long strides and ran towards his father and sister.

Just as Yan Shao had predicted, once his precious daughter opened her mouth, single-word pronunciations started popping out like beans. In just a few days, she had called out the names of everyone in the family, young and old.

Her words delighted Yanbo and his wife.

In the years since their retirement, they have mostly traveled abroad and have become quite distant from many of their old friends in L city.

But ever since the little girl was born, they have enjoyed taking her to meet with these old friends.

Why? Naturally, it's to show off that they have a beautiful and adorable granddaughter.

They missed their son's birth, so after their daughter was born, they tried every means to make up for all the things they had owed their son by showering them on their little girl.

Now that the little girl has started talking, they enjoy taking her out even more.

Regarding this matter, Zhu Qianying commented, "No matter how powerful a person is, they are all susceptible to the common human tendency when it comes to family ties."

As she met and interacted with more people, the little girl became increasingly unafraid of strangers and bolder.

Soon after she started speaking, the little girl began to walk while holding onto the sofa wall.

Every child learning to walk inevitably stumbles and falls, and this little girl is no exception.

Unfortunately, she doesn't like others holding her hand or helping her up; she wouldn't even let her brother, whom she loves to play with, hold her hand.

Zhu Qianying glanced at the little girl who had fallen in the living room, but insisted on getting up by herself, shaking off her brother's hand. She chuckled and gave a snort.

"How stubborn!"

Yan Shao's heart was clenched with pain after his precious daughter was thrown like that. Hearing Zhu Qianying's words, he glanced at her and said, "Just like you!"

Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes at him, "You talk as if you're not stubborn at all!"

Yan Shao's heart, which had been pounding, finally settled back into place.

"Yes, stubbornness + stubbornness = super stubbornness!"

It seems that this is due to the genes of their entire family; any one of them would be incredibly stubborn.

If the little girl were a gentle person, it would seem like a genetic mutation.

With this in mind, Young Master Yan felt at ease.

After shaking off her brother's hand in the living room, Xiaoxiao finally stood up unsteadily. She then raised her hands and took another step.

Yan Shao's lips curled up slightly, "So clever..."

Clearly, the little girl had just fallen, and now she knew to use her hands to balance herself. Sure enough, besides being stubborn, she had also inherited their intelligence.

good!

"Of course, how could our children not be smart?"

Zhu Qianying looked at the little girl with a proud expression.

Actually, when she was pregnant, she had thought about what she hoped her baby girl would be like if it was a girl.

At that time, she had thought about having a gentle and lovely little lady.

Because she herself wasn't that kind of girl, she felt that having a little girl like that wouldn't be bad.

But now, this little girl is not what she imagined, no matter where she is.

But she felt that this precious daughter was undoubtedly the best!

Strong, resilient, and optimistic, with such a daughter, she will definitely have a wonderful life in the future.

"Little one, come to your brother!"

Zizai, who was secretly hurt when Xiaoxiao shook off his hand, ran in front of Xiaoxiao, half-squatted down, and opened his strong arms to his toddler sister.

Although Zizai hasn't gone to Beijing for special training this past year, the intensity of his training in Tongjia Village has increased considerably.

And all of this was what he requested himself.

At first, Zhu Qianying didn't understand her precious son's thoughts, but after a little probing, the little guy frankly told her what was on his mind.

"Because I want to protect my younger sister!"
