Chapter 118 Little Pink Ball
Seeing relatives and friends coming to congratulate them, everyone was fine except Sun Xueyi. When she saw the adorable daughter in Chen Qi's arms, she praised her repeatedly but couldn't help shedding tears.
Chen Qi knew that she was in pain and patted her hands.
"If you are willing, how about asking my child to recognize you as his godmother?"
Sun Xueyi knew her good intentions, wiped away her tears and forced a smile.
"I'm the child's biological mother, isn't that close enough? Why are you calling me godfather? It's just making people laugh at me for trying to climb up your family's wealth."
Shen Qi smiled.
"We are family, there is no question of whether we are related or not. If you keep saying that, I will make a fool of myself."
Sun Xueyi sighed slowly.
"When our old lady learned you had a daughter, she was so happy that she called me over and talked to me for a long time, trying to persuade me to adopt a child from the side branch to carry on the family name. But guess what? Before I could make up my mind, that thief came to the door and tried to stop me, saying that she wanted to wait until Yujin gave birth to a child and then adopt the child to inherit the second branch's family business."
Shen Qi raised an eyebrow.
"You're willing?"
Sun snorted coldly.
"I told her at the time that we still have our younger brother Yu Shuo at home. When he gets married and has children, he'll also be the heir to the second branch. If that doesn't work out, we can adopt one of his children, who will also be able to inherit the family business. She was so angry that she turned around and left, never mentioning the matter again."
Chen Qi was delighted to hear this.
Seeing that Yu Shuo was growing up day by day and his academic performance was getting better and better, and with the support of the old lady, Aunt Yun's power in the family was getting stronger and stronger. Even the shop in front could not do without her. Sun Xueyi only had to help a little, which made Second Aunt have less and less say.
After seeing off the relatives from Pingshan County, the Xie family still had waves of guests, all of whom were Xie Yuduo's business contacts. He handed over the servants in the house to Sister Yuzhong, and asked Yujing to learn how to do things from her elder sister, while he arranged and managed everything himself.
Chen Qi didn't care about anything and was content with herself, spending the whole day kissing her own little girl.
After finishing that busy period, Fentuaner was snatched away by Xie Yuduo, who held her in his arms all day long. His broad arms holding the adorable little Fentuan made him even more reluctant to let go.
…
At this moment, Xie Yuduo was whispering to the little baby in his arms who smelled of milk.
"Xiao Ming'er, tell Daddy, are you the child who loves Daddy the most in the world?"
Unfortunately, the little pink girl, who was only two months old, not only couldn't speak, but was also drooling in her sleep and ignored her father's questioning.
Seeing that Fentuan'er ignored him and drooled in her sleep under the red silk quilt, Xie Yuduo wiped her dry with his fingers without disgust, held her in his arms and looked at her carefully for a long time, kissed her pink jade-like face twice, then called the maid over and carried the young lady to find the wet nurse.
Chen Qi was combing her hair in front of the mirror. When she heard this, she glanced at him in the mirror.
Although there were many servants in the house, Chen Qi rarely asked them to look after the child, and Xie Yuduo was always willing to keep her by his side and was reluctant to give the child to others to take care of.
Now, this guy was willing to send his daughter to the wet nurse. Chen Qi knew what he was thinking as soon as he heard it - tonight, he must have made up his mind long ago to do something he always loved to do at night.
Sure enough, he saw the maid carrying his daughter out, then he got off the bed, closed the door, strode to Chen Qi, snatched the tortoise shell comb from her hand, and combed her hair with his own hands.
"I've been combing my hair for so long, Second Madam, I'm afraid your hands are tired, so let me do it."
The delicate and small comb was held in his slender and powerful hands, and he moved it through Shen Qi's long hair that fell to her waist like a dark cloud, which was quite delicate and laborious.
Chen Qi pretended not to know what he was thinking and was deliberately polite to him.
"It's such a small thing, how can I trouble you, Second Master? The maids combed it very well."
"Those little girls are so clumsy, how can they serve others?"
"Xiao Ling has grown up. She serves me very wholeheartedly. I'll call her over later."
"She helps you manage the household and is very busy. How can she have the time for this?"
After saying that, he leaned down, put his ear close to Chen Qi's, and deliberately rubbed his lips and teeth against hers, lowering his voice.
"I'm the only one who can serve Second Madam well, right?"
Chen Qi felt numb from being rubbed by him. She smiled and pushed him away, but it was impossible to push him away. He grabbed her hands and wouldn't let go. Then he buried his head in her neck and entangled her, moving all the way down, serving her with ease...
…
The next day, the couple slept in for a rare time, and the door to the main house in the backyard was not opened for a long time.
Children are more energetic than adults. Xiao Ming'er was sent to his wet nurse by his father. He slept well all night and woke up at dawn.
Xiao Ming'er had just started to recognize people. When he woke up, although he couldn't speak, he was whimpering and crying out for his mother.
The wet nurse brought a group of maids and carried the eldest daughter back to the backyard to find the lady. Seeing that the door of the main room was not open yet, she and the maids stood in front of the white wall of the ceremonial gate of the courtyard and played with the eldest daughter.
Xiao Ling gets up even earlier.
Ever since the birth of the eldest daughter, Chen Qi was too busy with the child to leave, so she stopped asking her to serve her and asked her to learn how to manage the household affairs and help her.
Seeing that she was the mistress's most capable confidant, the housekeepers entrusted all the household affairs, big and small, to her, and all of them respected her greatly. They would often look to her for answers, decisions, and money.
Although Xiao Ling is a young girl, she has a very strong character. She was taught by Chen Qi personally, and she really lived up to everyone's expectations. Although there are many things to do, she manages the house and the outside in order.
Early in the morning, she happened to pass by the ceremonial gate, followed by three or five maids in charge, who listened to her instructions as she walked.
It just so happened that inside the ceremonial gate, a young maid named Yinling, who used to hold the eldest daughter in her arms and play with her, had just taken the child from the wet nurse and led her to see a flower in full bloom.
When the little pink ball saw the flowers, he was so happy that he moved his hands and feet around and whimpered.
The maid was holding the child and saw everyone gathered around her, with a smile on her face.
"Look, the young lady seems to be calling her mother. She can speak so early!"
Everyone knew that the child's words were clearly incoherent, so they all smiled and did not refute her.
Yinling became more and more proud and kept holding the child high.
"Hey! Hey! Miss, it's good that you call me mother. Call me more often and I will love you more!"
Xiao Ling was passing by and overheard these words. She immediately stopped, turned around and walked over. When she came up to the child, she reached out to hug him.
Seeing Xiao Ling wanted to hug her, Yinling had to let go, still smiling.
"Miss Ling, look, the eldest daughter is the smartest one, urging people to call her mother!"
Xiao Ling had originally planned to just take the child and walk away, but upon hearing this, she handed the child in her arms to the wet nurse beside her.
He turned around and slapped the maid's face so hard that her ears started buzzing.
"Who the hell are you? The young lady calls me 'mother' and you dare to answer? Are you just bullying her because she's young and won't complain? Remember your identity. If you dare to do such dirty things behind her back again, I'll peel off your skin!"
