"Huo Tingxiao, take your daughter away right now!"
In the living room, Wen Xingyue looked at Sui Sui, who was constantly circling around her on the carpet, and called out to Huo Tingxiao with a mournful face.
Every year after she starts rolling over and crawling, the first thing she does when she wakes up is crawl on her little legs to find her mother.
She doesn't cling to her dad, nor to her maternal grandparents, paternal grandparents, or uncles; she only clings to her mom.
Every morning, she would give her mother a big kiss. If Wen Xingyue didn't respond, she would keep kissing her until Wen Xingyue's face was covered in drool.
Until she gets a response from Wen Xingyue, she opens her eyes to look at her, hands her over to her father, and doesn't get angry. She giggles and then stops bothering her, obediently snuggling up in the blankets with her mother and sleeping close to her.
Wen Xingyue originally wanted to have a child to play with, but instead, she became the one being chased and played with by the child.
Sometimes I get annoyed by how clingy my daughter is.
She thought her dad was already very clingy, but she didn't expect her daughter to be even more clingy—she clearly inherited it from Huo Tingxiao!
Huo Tingxiao: ……
"Mommy! Ba!" Sui Sui couldn't tell that Wen Xingyue was avoiding her. She just watched her mother run away and thought her mother was playing with her. She was so happy that she crawled on her belly and ran towards her mother with great speed.
"Huo Tingxiao! My daughter is pursuing me!"
Wen Xingyue watched as Sui Sui crawled over, unsure whether to leave or stay. They were in the living room, which was spacious, but the presence of the child had enclosed every nook and cranny.
She was afraid that if she left, the child would bump into something. If she didn't leave, Sui Sui was still small and could only hug her legs. When she hugged her legs, she would drool. Wen Xingyue was a little disgusted.
Even his own daughter disliked it.
She has some maternal love, but not a lot.
Wen Xingyue wasn't a very good mother. A lot of people helped with the child's affairs, but she didn't do much. Huo Tingxiao and the others usually took care of most things, but the child still clung to her.
"Sui Sui, Daddy's here."
Wearing an apron, Huo Tingxiao came out of the kitchen with a baby bottle in his hand. Just a second before Sui Sui was about to climb onto Wen Xingyue, he bent down and precisely intercepted her, pulling her into his arms.
Before Sui Sui could complain, I shoved the bottle into her mouth.
As soon as she drank the milk, Sui Sui instinctively sucked on it, holding the bottle herself with her two chubby little hands, while Huo Tingxiao held it for her.
Wen Xingyue breathed a sigh of relief and hid behind Huo Tingxiao to watch her.
She just put on her pretty little dress, and she can't let her daughter drool over it.
Holding the child in his arms, Huo Tingxiao patted her chubby little bottom. "If you need anything, ask Daddy. Mommy needs to rest. You can kiss Mommy again when you stop drooling."
Huo Tingxiao was speaking earnestly to the child, unsure if she could understand.
"Ma! Ma... looking for it."
Even after being patted on the bottom by her father, Sui Sui wasn't angry. Instead, she giggled, pointed at her mother, and called for her.
My child is ten months old now. He learned to talk a while ago and now he keeps calling "Mama...Daba" all day long.
"You rascal, you only bother your mother, not your father."
Hearing that childish voice, Wen Xingyue's heart softened, and she leaned closer to touch the little girl's face.
"Wooden horse." Sui Sui struggled to pounce on her, kissed Wen Xingyue, and smiled at her.
Sui Sui was a cheerful child who smiled at everyone, which made the Huo, Wen, and Lin families, as well as Li Tianbai, extremely fond of her.
Her daughter's lips were soft and sticky against her face, like a gentle touch. Wen Xingyue felt happy and kissed her back.
Before Sui Sui could even feel happy, her mother said something that broke her down.
"Stinky baby."
"Shrimp! One shrimp!" Not happy about being told that, little Sui Sui wiggled her short legs in her father's arms and stared at Wen Xingyue with her big, watery eyes as if she was about to cry.
"Okay, okay, you smell good." Seeing that the child was about to cry, Wen Xingyue felt a little guilty. She didn't dare to look at Huo Tingxiao's teasing eyes above her head.
He quickly changed his tune.
Sui Sui doesn't like to cry, but when she does, it's as if she could topple the Great Wall; those who hear it are heartbroken and those who listen are moved to tears.
She wouldn't wail loudly; instead, she would let small pearls fall one by one, her cries softening people's hearts.
Sui Sui only learned to speak a short time ago, and can only utter simple words, and her speech is not clear.
The aunt she was referring to was Wen Lingyue and Fang Yihan.
My aunts all say they smell nice. She doesn't smell bad at all.
The baby was newly born and drank milk every day, so he always smelled of milk. Wen Lingyue couldn't help but cuddle and rub against Sui Sui, her eyes filled with love.
Fortunately, Sui Sui is easy to coax.
Others can easily make Sui Sui cry, but Wen Xingyue can make her cry with just two words.
Sui Sui couldn't bear the slightest dislike from her mother.
She will feel very sad, very sad, because she loves her mother so much.
Huo Tingxiao did not participate in the mother and daughter's dispute, but simply watched them with a deep smile.
The gaze that fell upon Wen Xingyue was full of affection.
Even though my daughter is the one who's still a child, sometimes I have to end up comforting her, the mother.
"Hehe." Sui Sui laughed again, her bright, clear eyes, like grapes, reflecting Wen Xingyue's image.
Huo Tingxiao looked at his daughter in his arms and his wife in front of him. The whole world was around him. He lowered his eyes and smiled.
