"Third Uncle, when I grow up, can I marry that lady from earlier?"

Little Rui Rui giggled, wishing she could have the older sister hug her again, to receive a warm embrace just like her mother's.

"What?" Xuan Mingyu was stunned. Who taught this three-year-old kid all this nonsense?

"No! Don't even think about it! She's mine!"

Little Rui Rui pouted, "But I like that, sister." He mumbled, his voice sweet and adorable.

"You can like all the sisters in the world, but you can't like her, understand?"

Xian Mingyu solemnly warned him that if this brat really dared to make a move on his wife, he would teach him a lesson, no matter how small he was now!

"Hmph! Third Uncle is a big bad guy!" Little Rui Rui said angrily, crossing his arms and looking unhappy.

"Let's go, let's go inside and eat."

He was about to take his little hand when Xiao Rui Rui's chubby little hands clung tightly to Xian Mingyu's trouser leg. He looked up at him with bright, big eyes and asked, "Third Uncle, can you hug me?"

Hug him?

Xuan Mingyu looked down and examined the little guy who was clinging to his trouser leg.

The little one was so soft and cuddly; he had never held a baby before and didn't know how to handle him.

"Give me a hug, and I'll give you candy."

As he spoke, the little guy touched his little pocket, and his clenched fist slowly opened, revealing two pink-wrapped candies lying quietly in his little palm.

Xuan Mingyu was immediately amused by Xiao Rui Rui's actions. Despite his young age, he already knew how to win people over.

"I won't eat your candy. I'm making an exception for hugging you today, but this is a one-time thing."

He didn't know how to hold a baby either. Although he had seen others hold babies, he knew he had to try it himself to know.

At first, Xuan Mingyu grabbed Xiao Rui Rui's arms and lifted him up, but it didn't seem right. He then lifted Xiao Rui Rui's waist above his head, but he still couldn't hold him properly.

His two short legs swung back and forth, and Xuan Mingyu was particularly worried that he would kick his clothes, so he didn't dare let him get too close.

Why is it so hard to hold a baby?

Finally, he came up with a solution: he simply wrapped his arm around Xiao Rui Rui's chest, and that should work.

"Third Uncle! Third Uncle! It hurts! It hurts!" Little Rui Rui was uncomfortable being held and pouted, about to burst into tears, leaving Xuan Mingyu at a loss for what to do.

"Waaah! Uncle! You idiot! Waaah... It hurts! It hurts!" Little Rui Rui struggled with all her might, but she couldn't pry him open. She was in so much pain that she cried and screamed, and her tears dripped onto Xian Mingyu's arm.

At this moment, Rui Rui's mother came out looking for him. Seeing Rui Rui being held haphazardly by Xian Mingyu and crying loudly, she quickly took the little guy away.

"Oh, don't cry, don't cry, Rui Rui, be good, Mommy's here, Mommy's here, don't cry, don't cry." Hold him in the right position, coax him gently, pat his back, and the little guy's crying will stop immediately.

Hsien Ming-yu was tormented to no end.

See? That's why he doesn't like children. They're always crying or making a fuss. If he cried for a little longer, he almost wanted to throw the little guy in his arms into the trash can. The crying was too loud and too jarring.

Rui Rui's mother didn't blame Xian Mingyu. She saw Bai Xiaoruo, who was pregnant, in the inner room and guessed that she wanted to experience being a father in advance.

"Third brother, you don't need to be too anxious. You have to be patient when holding a baby. He was uncomfortable when you held him just now, so of course he cried."

"Holding...is there a matter of comfort or discomfort?" Why didn't he see Bai Xiaoruo cry and fuss like this when he held her? Holding a child is such a hassle.

“Of course,” Rui Rui’s mother coaxed the little one in her arms gently, “Baby, would you like to let your third uncle hold you again? This time, your third uncle will definitely be able to hold you well.”

Little Rui Rui blinked her big, moist eyes, looked at Xian Mingyu, thought for a moment, and then stretched out her chubby little hands for him to hold.

Although Xuanmingyu took him into his arms, he still didn't know how to hold him properly.

“If you do this, support his bottom with one hand and hold his legs, he won’t feel uncomfortable. You were squeezing him like that just now; even an adult couldn’t stand it.”

Sure enough, just as Rui Rui's mother had said, holding the little guy made him lively. He giggled and rubbed his chubby little hands tightly against Xian Mingyu's shirt.

Children don't have many fixed emotions; they either cry or laugh, and they don't hold grudges. Even though Xuanming Yumei held him just now, the little guy is now clinging to him.

When Xuan Mingyu carried the little guy into the inner room, everyone was surprised. You know, for so many years, Xuan Mingyu has hated children the most. Let alone holding him, he would be unhappy if he even got close to him.

Rui Rui's mother was about to feed him when the little guy finally let go of her hand and snuggled back into her arms.

Today, he completely changed his previous impression of Xian Mingyu.

Uncle San is no longer a bad guy; he's actually a very good person.

Xuan Mingyu sat down next to Bai Xiaoruo. The kitchen had just added rice for her, but she hadn't started eating yet.

Many relatives came today; it took five long tables to seat them all.

As soon as Xian Mingyu sat down, Bai Xiaoru chuckled, patted his shoulder, and proudly opened the pockets of her down jacket to show him.

Both pockets were stuffed full of red envelopes.

They said it was New Year's money for her, and everyone gave her several, and they were all quite heavy.

They gave her red envelopes when they got married, and they also gave her red envelopes for her grandfather's birthday. Today is Chinese New Year, and she's not a child anymore, so they gave her a lot of red envelopes. Even without opening them, Bai Xiaoruo could tell that it must be tens of thousands of yuan.

I have to say, rich people are different; everyone here is so generous.

Every time we meet, they give her a big red envelope. Other families have so many little kids, but she, as an elder, has never given them any.

If she had known there would be so many babies, she should have prepared them in advance.

"Look, I received so many red envelopes today!"

Xuan Mingyu gently pinched her nose. "Little money-grubber, this little bit of money makes you this happy?"

If he handed over his salary card to her, wouldn't she be so happy she couldn't sleep?

"Who wouldn't be happy if they had money? I need to save it carefully; I can't spend it recklessly."

Bai Xiaoruo has never touched a single penny of the money her family gave her. It's all kept in a large iron box. For the past few months, all her expenses have been covered by the card that Xian Mingyu gave her. She only withdrew five hundred yuan once, and she still has several hundred yuan left.

Unless she takes a taxi herself, she won't spend his money. She has food and clothes here, and she has nothing to worry about, so there's no need for her to spend money recklessly.

"What's the point of saving? Spend as much as you want, and I'll give you more if you need more."

"No need, you work hard to earn money too. I don't need anything, so I don't need too much money."

"It's not like I'm bankrupt and can't support you, so you don't always have to save money for me."

He patted her head. Where in the world could you find such a silly girl? She didn't want the money he had to spend and was always thinking about saving him money.
