She smiled, and the one-and-a-half-year-old girl at her feet smiled back.
Ning Qiluo bent down and picked her up, asking her what her name was. The little girl's pronunciation wasn't very clear: "Xiao Jiajia."
"So your name is Jiajia? You're so cute!"
Ning Qiluo always thought she could only be curious about other people's children, and it was true. If she had a child of her own, she would definitely have a headache. She hoped her child would be more like Jiang Yingchi—quiet, well-behaved, and not mischievous.
She's definitely going to be a little troublemaker.
Jiang Yingchi searched around and quickly found Ning Qiluo. She didn't even realize he had arrived before he got behind her.
Seeing her chatting and laughing with a tiny little girl, his expression softened, and he asked her, "Do you like children?"
Hearing a sound behind her, Ning Qiluo was startled. Instead of loosening her grip, she hugged the little girl in her arms even tighter, driven by instinct.
Turning around, she saw Jiang Yingchi and scolded him playfully, "You walk without making a sound."
"You were too focused and didn't notice someone approaching from behind," Jiang Yingchi said.
Ning Qiluo thought it made sense.
Jiang Yingchi glanced at the little girl in her arms and asked, "Whose child is this?"
Ning Qiluo replied, "I'm just looking after someone's child. The grandmother trusts me a lot and even said I have a very kind face." She then pointed to a spot not far behind her, "Look, the child's grandmother is over there."
As for what happened in between, and why others asked her to look after the child, Ning Qiluo planned to tell Jiang Yingchi slowly later.
"That's so true, my A-Luo has a very kind face." Jiang Yingchi's smile deepened as she read this sentence.
Ning Qiluo became even more smug upon hearing this, her lips pouting high: "Of course."
At this moment, the child's grandmother came over. The matter hadn't been finished yet, but when she saw that Ning Qiluo had another man with her, the grandmother suddenly became a little uneasy and hurried over.
"I'm so sorry to have troubled you, young lady, and taken up your time," the grandmother said to her.
Ning Qilu shook her head: "No problem, don't be polite."
"Little Jiajia, come to Grandma for a hug."
The little girl's grandmother took her away.
With the little girl no longer in her arms, Ning Qiluo's arms felt lighter. Mainly, she wasn't used to holding children, so her arms felt a bit heavy after holding them for a while.
Standing next to Jiang Yingchi, he waved to the little girl: "Little Jiajia~"
Jiajia smiled at her, her eyelashes curving as she smiled, but she didn't say anything.
Not for any other reason, but mainly because I'm a little afraid of Jiang Yingchi who's by Ning Qiluo's side.
Even though Jiang Yingchi didn't have a stern face, and even though there was a faint smile on his lips, his aura was so strong that he could scare children even without saying a word.
Grandma then asked Ning Qiluo, "Young lady, is this your boyfriend?"
Ning Qiluo's first reaction was to shake her head. Jiang Yingchi's expression darkened slightly upon seeing this, and then he heard Ning Qiluo say to the grandmother, "No, he is my uncle."
Jiang Yingchi: "..."
"Oh my, it's your uncle! Your uncle looks so young!" Grandma praised with a smile.
Ning Qiluo grabbed Jiang Yingchi's arm and said to her grandmother with a big smile, "Right? My uncle is so young. Wherever he goes, people say that. And he looks just like my boyfriend."
Grandma said repeatedly, "It really is true. If you hadn't told me, I would have really thought you two were a couple."
Jiang Yingchi's expression was quite interesting.
