"Chao Chao, call me grandpa, call me grandpa..."
Han Xiao: “……!”
Our Chaochao’s grandfather is taking an exam. What’s wrong with you, the grandfather who cuts in line?
The wet nurse didn't understand the situation of the Han family either. When she heard General Huo ask Xiao Chaochao to call him grandpa, there was something wrong in her eyes when she looked at Han Xiao.
General Huo didn't care what they were thinking. He picked up Xiao Chaochao and started teasing him?
Han Xiao is now standing aside and has no chance to take over.
General Huo held the child tightly and refused to let go.
"General Huo, have you ever taken care of a child when you were at the border? This action seems very familiar." Han Xiao started to find topics when he saw that he couldn't hold Xiao Chaochao.
However, Han Xiao was also very curious about how General Huo could raise a child. He had been at the border for more than ten years, and he had never heard of him marrying and having children.
If he had an illegitimate child, it would have been known long ago, and he would not have brought back only Huo Xinyan more than ten years later. Moreover, anyone could tell at a glance that Huo Xinyan was not General Huo's child.
General Huo didn't even raise his head when he heard Han Xiao's question. He continued to coax the little Chao Chao in his arms and said nonchalantly: "Humph, I'm different from you. I raised Xinyan by myself. When Xinyan was just born, she was this big too. If it weren't for her mother..."
As General Huo was speaking, he suddenly stopped talking. Han Xiao knew that it was about Huo Xinyan's life experience. Since General Huo was unwilling to talk about it, Han Xiao didn't ask.
"So that's how it is. I didn't expect Miss Huo to be raised so gently and lovingly by General Huo..."
Han Xiao said he was gentle and lovely, but his eyes did not mean that at all.
"Hahaha, gentle? She is indeed very gentle." General Huo thought about it and realized that his adopted daughter was indeed very gentle in daily life.
Apart from anything else, her demeanor is so impressive that even the daughters of officials who have been raised in the capital for many years cannot compare to Huo Xinyan.
But don't judge a book by its cover. Countless enemies were deceived by Huo Xinyan's gentle and harmless appearance and died without a burial place.
"Yes, if someone didn't know, they would think Miss Huo was the daughter of some wealthy family in the capital."
As Han Xiao spoke, he began to sound sarcastic. Although General Huo didn't know what conflict the two had, he always felt that Han Xiao didn't seem to be praising Miss Huo.
"Dad, what are you talking about me?" Before General Huo could say anything, Huo Xinyan walked out from the inner room.
After seeing Han Xiao, she looked at him with gentle eyes and said, "Did you just hear that the Marquis was discussing me? I didn't expect that the Marquis, such a good man, actually likes to inquire about these little gossips."
As he spoke, Huo Xinyan covered his lips and smiled, looking very polite, and no one could find any fault with him.
Han Xiao's heart choked. Sure enough, nothing good would happen if he met this woman.
"Haha, Miss Huo, you're joking. I was just discussing with General Huo how to hold a baby." Han Xiao said with a forced smile.
Huo Xinyan did not embarrass Han Xiao anymore. She walked slowly to General Huo's side and looked curiously at Chao Chao who was still awake. "He was still sleeping when I came just now. Come and let your aunt take a look."
As he was about to start, General Huo Xinyan was relieved to hand Chao Chao over to her.
Han Xiao now felt even more jealous. This was clearly his son, but he couldn't hold him in his arms.
Is it because he doesn't know how to hold a baby? Thinking of this, Han Xiao secretly decided to practice hard when he went to bed at night and when they all went back.
"Dad, what did you tell the Marquis about me?" Huo Xinyan held the child skillfully and talked to General Huo.
"Nothing, just talking about your childhood."
"My childhood? Why is the Marquis interested in my childhood? You can ask me." Huo Xinyan raised his eyebrows and said.
Han Xiao knew what she was planning as soon as he saw her malicious expression.
"No need, I'm not curious about anything. Is this kind of private matter something that Miss Huo would tell everyone she meets?"
Han Xiao responded without giving in.
General Huo somehow smelled the scent of fireworks between the two and quickly interrupted Huo Xinyan: "Okay, as a girl, you must be careful with your words, okay? This place is different from the border, you must change your temper."
"Alright, Dad, I get it. Didn't Han Xiao ask me about this? Don't worry, Dad, I know what to do."
Seeing that Huo Xinyan said this, General Huo also said something. Apart from anything else, he was still very confident in Huo Xinyan's words and deeds.
Han Xiao also felt that he couldn't argue with a little girl, so he simply went to the inner room to see the young master.
The young master had just laid down and was not asleep yet. When he heard Han Xiao's voice, he became even more unable to sleep.
Knowing that Han Xiao would definitely come in soon, he simply closed his eyes and rested.
Han Xiao walked to the window and sat down, looking around the room. The maid had already cleaned the room and even placed a small carved bed at the end of the bed.
I heard that it was sent by Mr. Ruan. This carved bed was carved by Mr. Ruan himself. It can be regarded as a token of his love as a grandfather.
Touching the texture on the crib, Han Xiao thought that he seemed to have not given his child any gifts yet.
After all, Han Xiao had some hostility towards this child at the beginning, but after he let it go and the young master was in poor health, he didn't think about it anymore.
Seeing that they all gave gifts to their children, I, as a father, can’t be left out.
The young master waited in bed for a long time but didn't hear Han Xiao speak, so he simply stopped pretending to be asleep and opened his eyes, only to see Han Xiao's back.
"Husband?" the young master called in a low voice.
Han Xiao was stunned for a moment, then immediately came to his senses, thinking that the young master had some needs: "What's wrong, Ruanruan, do you need anything?"
The young master shook his head: "Nothing, just seeing how you were in a daze."
Han Xiao sat down next to the young master, touched his cheek and said, "I was looking at the gift my father-in-law sent me. Suddenly I remembered that I didn't seem to have prepared anything. Am I a little incompetent as a father?"
"No way, I believe my husband must be the best father in the world." The young master covered Han Xiao's mouth with his little hand in dissatisfaction.
In the young master's heart, Han Xiao is the most perfect.
"Besides, I didn't prepare any gift for Chaochao." The young master said guiltily.
Originally, he wanted to make small clothes for Chaochao, but the young master's hands were too clumsy, and he couldn't make a bellyband after several months. It was only with the help of Mrs. Ruan and Han's mother that little Chaochao was able to avoid running around naked.
"Didn't you make a bellyband for Chaochao?" Han Xiao asked doubtfully.
He knew that Ruanruan was learning needlework from Mrs. Ruan, but he had no idea how well she had learned it.
Anyway, the treasure bag he is carrying now is still the same one as before.
