Unlike An'an, Lele didn't stand up. Instead, after being placed on the mat, she quickly scrambled to her feet.
As everyone watched him crawl toward the pile of items used for the baby's first birthday celebration, they were still somewhat nervous, wondering what he would pick up.
Unexpectedly, just like his sister, he didn't even glance at the pile of things and simply walked past them.
Everyone was puzzled as to what he was going to catch.
Then the little guy, with his bright and lively eyes, grabbed the pretty little girl who was sitting on the mat, intently chewing on her teething toy.
Everyone was even more stunned.
The little girl was stunned when she was suddenly hugged.
Although the little girl is only a little over six months old, her emotions are very stable. After being hugged by Lele, she was confused for a moment before hugging Lele back.
Lele immediately grinned, revealing eight tiny teeth.
He looked incredibly happy.
It wasn't until Yan Heqing reacted that he picked up Lele, put her aside, and then hugged his daughter tightly in his arms.
The man, who felt his arms were getting sore from holding his daughter when he put her on the mat, now felt like he had inexhaustible strength in his arms.
Yang Qiaoqiao looked at her somewhat bewildered son after he was dragged away, and felt embarrassed.
That brat, of all the choices, why did he have to hug someone else's daughter?
After that, let alone Yan Heqing, if word got out, every family with a daughter would have to be wary of this pig.
"Hahaha……"
Tong Xuejiao, the mother, was overjoyed.
She scooped Lele up in her arms and gave her a big kiss. "Haha, our Lele has such good taste! I'll accept you as my son-in-law!"
From now on, you're officially our little beauty. If you ever try to cheat on us when you grow up, your godmother will give you a good beating!
Lele wasn't sure if she really understood what Tong Xuejiao was saying, but the little one nodded seriously, "Lele, it's my sister's."
"Hahaha……"
Tong Xuejiao was even happier.
Even the way she looked at Lele had that of a mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law, growing more and more fond of him the more she looked.
Yan Heqing's face darkened even more.
His wife is too unreliable; it seems he'll have to protect his daughter's future growth.
A pig like Lele has no chance of stealing his little cabbage!
After the two children's first birthday celebration, the food was served.
After the two children's first birthday celebration, Yue Rongzheng was much more easygoing than when he arrived. The meal was harmonious and everyone enjoyed themselves.
After the meal, Shen Chuning asked Aunt Zhang to make tea for everyone.
Everyone sat together drinking tea and chatting, and the afternoon passed quickly.
As darkness fell, lanterns and colored lights lit up in the courtyard.
The two-tiered cake that Qiao Haifan ordered for the two children also arrived.
Along with the cake Qiao Haifan ordered, another two-tiered cake with a similar design was also delivered.
"Why are there two cakes? Could they have been sent to the wrong place?" Yang Qiaoqiao asked, looking at the two cakes with a puzzled expression.
After checking the order, the cake delivery clerk said, "Madam, the cake has been delivered correctly. In addition to Mr. Qiao, who ordered a cake from our store, there was also a Mr. Huo who ordered a cake and asked us to deliver it."
Yang Qiaoqiao frowned slightly when she heard what the shop assistant said.
This cake shop is the most famous, most upscale, and best-serviced cake shop in the entire city of Haicheng.
Their cakes usually need to be ordered about a month in advance.
In other words, Huo Beixiao ordered the cake for the two children shortly after they returned from Haicheng.
As Yang Qiaoqiao calculated the time in her mind, she couldn't help but let out a slightly sarcastic laugh.
She really didn't know how Huo Beixiao could act as if he loved the child so much while simultaneously protecting the murderer who harmed the child.
In the past, she might have considered the children's feelings and not wanted them to lose their father's love without having a choice.
But now that both children have clearly stated their positions.
Then she wouldn't need to be polite to Huo Beixiao at all.
She wrote Huo Beixiao's address directly to the cake shop staff, saying, "Please send Mr. Huo's cake to this address."
While Yang Qiaoqiao and the others were cutting An'an and Lele's first cake, the cake shop staff also handed the cake to Huo Beixiao.
Huo Beixiao looked at the cake, paused for a moment, then smiled bitterly, took the cake and said, "Thank you."
He carried the cake back into the house.
The huge house was empty and desolate, lacking not only the atmosphere of a home, but also the warmth of human presence.
He stared at the exquisite cake, and the happy, bright smiles of Yang Qiaoqiao and her two children flashed before his eyes.
He couldn't help but think about what would have happened if he hadn't brought Jiang Yiran back, what would have happened if he hadn't protected Jiang Yiran.
Even if he forgets Yang Qiaoqiao, he, Yang Qiaoqiao, and their two children are still a family, and so many relatives and friends will be celebrating the children's birthday with them today.
At this moment, he should be surrounded by the laughter and joy of his relatives, friends, wife, and children.
He gave a somewhat bitter smile.
He knew that he shouldn't, and it wasn't worth it, to do this for Jiang Yiran.
But he...
He scooped a spoonful of cake into his mouth. He didn't like sweets, and the cake, which should have been sweet, turned into a bitter taste in his mouth.
