"Hello, my name is Su Ning, and I am your uncle's wife."
Su Ning smiled politely and extended his hand to greet her in a generous manner.
Bai Yajing immediately snapped out of her surprise and quickly extended her hand to shake hands with her.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Bai Yajing!"
She secretly sized up this newly minted aunt a few times, becoming more and more satisfied with her. No wonder she was the one who managed to win over her old, venerable uncle.
With their good looks, elegant demeanor, and refined manners, the two of them standing together are a perfect match, a handsome man and a beautiful woman.
No wonder it made my uncle, that old iron tree, bloom.
"Alright, alright, you guys sit down and chat. Don't stand for so long, aren't you tired?"
Bai Yunshu had wanted his little niece to sit down for a while, and looking at her belly, he subconsciously became cautious.
Su Ning noticed and subconsciously frowned. She knew her husband valued this little niece, but was this level of attention a bit too much?
Bai Yajing was very obedient, sitting down whenever offered and even pulling Su Ning along with her.
She was very curious about the two of them, asking them many questions and showering them with compliments, which made her beam with joy.
Perhaps it was her enthusiasm that infected Su Ning, and her initial displeasure dissipated.
This girl is indeed very likable.
Just then, the three men who had been tidying up the room returned.
"My dear, your aunt and uncle have been working hard for the past few days. Let them get some rest first. Your uncle's old room has also been cleaned up."
When Grandpa Bai came over, he advised Su Ning to go and rest first.
"Daughter-in-law, you two take a nap first. We'll call you when it's time to eat."
Bai Yajing rubbed her forehead; she was too excited to notice the weariness in her uncle and aunt's eyes.
Looking at my uncle, whose hair had turned several strands white, I felt a pang of heartache again.
"Yes, yes, go and rest for a while. Grandma and I will cook some medicinal food for you to help you recover. Uncle's hair is getting gray!"
Bai Yunshu scratched his head, both amused and exasperated. He had indeed developed gray hair due to overworking his brain in recent years.
"Okay, let's take a nap first." He pulled Su Ning back to the room.
Looking at the spacious, bright, fully furnished, and spotlessly clean room, Su Ning felt a surge of emotion.
"It must have been hard on them, managing to tidy up so well in such a short time."
Bai Yunshu pressed her down to sit and rest, his eyes full of smiles as he heard her say, "This is a room specially reserved for me."
My father and daughter clean frequently, hoping I'll come home soon..."
The three of them went back to their room to tidy up, and they only made the bed again. Everything else was the same as before he left, which shows that it is regularly maintained.
Su Ning was slightly taken aback upon hearing this. She knew that Bai Yunshu was Old Master Bai's adopted son...
"It's rare...they're like family even though they're not blood relatives. You and the old man are, and so are you and Ya Jing."
No wonder you're so good to that child, I understand now, this is called mutual affection!
At this point, the slight displeasure that had just arisen in her heart completely disappeared.
"Well, her father has never cared about her, so I've taken on the role of her father. She's a very good girl, and you'll come to like her once you get to know her better."
He still hopes that his wife and family can maintain a good relationship.
Even if we only live together for a short time, that's what he thinks.
Su Ning smiled and looked up at him, wrapping her arms around his lean waist.
"Your father is my father, and your daughter is my daughter."
Thinking of this, she hesitated for a moment before asking, "What about your biological father's side? Should we go and visit him too?"
Logically, I should go.
Bai Yunshu thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. After that... I don't know when we'll see each other again."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
