When Liu Yihong saw Xie Yan's family appear, a bright smile instantly bloomed on his face. He quickly stepped forward, squatted down, and looked tenderly at the adorable little Chaochao, asking familiarly, "Little Chaochao, have you eaten yet?"
Xie Yan almost burst out laughing when he heard this clichéd opening.
But the children didn't think so. Little Chaochao tilted her head back, nodded seriously, and answered in a childish voice, "I ate it~" The last syllable of her voice was long and cute.
Liu Yihong especially liked talking to Chaochao. The child's pronunciation was unclear, and his babyish voice was extremely cute.
Even if the words aren't very clear, just listening to the voice is enough to make you feel happy and cleansed.
Of course, this only applies to children as young as Chaochao; it doesn't apply to the little devils in school.
Upon seeing them, Liu Yihong's first reaction was a headache.
He quickly shook his head, banishing the little devil from his mind, and couldn't help but reach out and gently touch Xiao Chaochao's smooth, tofu-like face, feigning pitifulness as he said, "Uncle hasn't eaten yet, do you have any food at home?"
Chaochao wasn't used to Liu Yihong's intimate gestures, so she turned her face slightly away and avoided his hand, but the movement wasn't very large.
Because Xie Yan constantly reminds the children about the differences between boys and girls, the children have remembered it and subconsciously don't like or resist this kind of inappropriate behavior.
Although the child is still young, Xie Yan subconsciously felt that safety knowledge should be instilled in the child's mind as early as possible.
Seeing this, Xie Yan slapped Liu Yihong's hand away, then squatted down and said to Chaochao with a serious expression, "Chaochao, remember not to let others touch your face, understand?"
After saying that, he emphasized, "No one but family members is allowed!"
Liu Yihong looked at Xie Yan speechlessly. This guy was really too hateful. Was he a bad person? Why was he so guarded?
Although Xiao Chaochao didn't quite understand why her father said that, she obediently nodded and turned to Liu Yihong, saying, "Uncle, you can't touch me~"
Seemingly afraid that Liu Yihong hadn't heard her clearly, she took a deep breath and raised her voice to emphasize, "Don't touch Chaochao's face~" After saying that, she let out a slight sigh of relief, showing that she had tired the little one after saying so much.
Liu Yihong, who had just been glaring at Xie Yan, instantly changed his expression upon hearing Xie Yan's words, nodding with a smile, "Uncle understands, Uncle remembers."
After saying that, he stood up and said to Xie Yan with feigned grievance, "You've gone too far! If you don't want me to touch you, then don't! You even hit me." As he spoke, he held up his slightly reddened hand in front of Xie Yan to show him.
Xie Yan rolled his eyes and retorted without any politeness, "You should be glad it was me who hit you. If my wife had done it, you probably wouldn't have been able to save your hand."
Liu Yihong: "..."
He silently shut his mouth, turning away without daring to look at Yu Yuehui beside him.
Yu Yuehui was talking to Gu Bin when she handed him the thirty eggs she had brought and gave him some advice on things to avoid during postpartum confinement. She happened to hear Xie Yan's words and glanced at Liu Yihong in tacit agreement.
Liu Yihong felt like he was being pricked by needles, and he even had the thought of disappearing on the spot.
Xie Yan couldn't help but chuckle as he looked at Liu Yihong, secretly marveling at how useful his wife's reputation was.
Threatening either Gu Bin or Liu Yihong would be a piece of cake.
As the group entered the house, Gu Bin brought his daughter over with great care, showing her off to them as if he were showing her off.
Xie Yan glanced at the child a few times and was very satisfied. This child wasn't as good-looking as their Chaochao, hahaha!
Although the difference between children isn't very obvious, this child is a few points uglier than their own Chaochao was when she was first born, so it can be concluded that she is definitely not as good-looking as their Chaochao.
But following the social rules of adults, I still had to exaggerate a bit, yet the words just wouldn't come out. Looking at the people around me, it all seemed so insincere.
Xie Yan is the kind of person who even dislikes his own daughter, so it's really hard for him to praise other people's children.
But everyone else around seemed blind, showering the little baby with compliments—his rosy, wrinkled skin—saying things like "big eyes" and "high nose bridge"...
Xie Yan even began to doubt whether there was something wrong with his eyes. Saying that the child had big eyes was a stretch, but where did he see the "high nose bridge"?
That flat little nose, where's the height?
He then turned his gaze to Gu Bin, who was beaming with joy and completely overwhelmed by the praise.
I really wanted to go up to him and remind him to open his eyes, recognize reality, and not lose himself in other people's false praise.
As if sensing Xie Yan's gaze, Gu Bin turned his head and said to him with a proud look, "Xie Yan, isn't my daughter beautiful?"
"Look at those eyes, that nose, they're exactly like my wife's, so beautiful!"
Xie Yan didn't respond to his comment. Instead, she picked up her daughter and pointed to the child in Gu Bin's arms, saying, "Chao Chao! Look, this is your little sister, the little sister who was in your Aunt Hui Hui's belly before."
Chaochao blinked her big, bright eyes, like black grapes, and stared curiously at her little sister in Gu Bin's arms for a while. Then she turned around and looked around for Aunt Huihui. When she couldn't find her, she leaned close to Xie Yan's ear and whispered, "Little sister?"
Xie Yan smiled and nodded, answering affirmatively, "Yes, it's my younger sister."
Chaochao opened her eyes wide, touched her short hair with her little hand, looked at her little sister, and asked in confusion, "Hair?"
In her mind, her younger sister has hair, while her younger brother does not.
Xie Yan immediately understood what she meant, knowing that she didn't understand why her little sister didn't have hair. So he gently patted her head and patiently explained, "Little sister is still small. As she grows up a bit more, her hair will grow."
Chaochao nodded as if she understood, her innocent and adorable appearance instantly melting the hearts of everyone present.
Looking at Chaochao, who was as cute as a glutinous rice ball, and then at his own daughter, Gu Bin couldn't help but praise his daughter's beauty against his will, even though he had the bias of a loving father.
He took a deep breath and comforted himself, "It's okay, it's okay. It doesn't matter if I'm ugly now. All babies are like this when they are first born. They'll grow out of it as they get older."
"She'll definitely be just as beautiful as Chaochao by then."
Xie Yan watched as her daughter effortlessly "beat" Gu Bin, leaving him speechless, and felt so happy she could fly.
However, he has important business to attend to today.
He lowered his head and met his daughter's clear gaze, his smile growing even brighter.
