Yao Tongjia said it didn't matter, but in the later stages of her pregnancy, she couldn't help but feel resentful. However, now that time has passed and she's not raising the child alone, her resentment has long since faded away.
Yao Tongjia pulled Xiao Gengwu down slowly: "Let's go down. They should be waiting for us down there. The child asked you if you were her father, but you didn't answer her. You'll probably have to comfort her later!"
"How do I coax her? I don't know how!" Xiao Gengwu was really at a loss. He had done a few studies and never expected that not only had two years passed, but he also had a daughter who spoke very fluently.
Yao Tongjia wouldn't help him: "Use your scientific brain to figure it out. I'm not helping you, Xiao Pudding, oh, that's your daughter. Her nickname is Xiao Pudding, and she hasn't been given a formal name yet."
"Little Pudding? What's Little Pudding?" Xiao Gengwu felt his heart was under too much pressure when he talked about his daughter. His heart was a little sour and a little sweet!
"Little Pudding is a type of ice cream I used to like. When it was born, unlike other babies that were bright red, it was very white. I thought it looked like a little pudding, so I named it Little Pudding."
"Did you take any photos?" Xiao Gengwu asked with some regret. He not only missed Yao Tongjia's pregnancy, but also the day his daughter was born.
"That's true! Xinyue and Youyou love Little Pudding so much that they prepared a camera even before the baby was born, and they take lots of pictures every time they come!"
If Yao Tongjia hadn't been careful to prevent the flash from hurting the children's eyes and hadn't controlled the two young ladies from taking photos each time, Little Pudding's photos would probably be piled up to the sky!
The two walked and talked. When they came down, a car was indeed left for them, but only the driver was there; there was no one else.
Yao Tongjia got into the car with a smile: "It seems your daughter doesn't like you very much. She must have been urging you to leave. Otherwise, given your mother-in-law and mother-in-law's personalities, they would definitely have waited for you!"
When the two arrived at the Ruan family's courtyard, everyone was there. After two years apart, Old Mrs. Xiao and Old Mr. Xiao were having some difficulty walking. When they saw Xiao Gengwu come in, they quickly waved for him to come over.
Grandma Xiao touched Xiao Gengwu's face: "You've lost weight. Did those people exploit you and not feed you?"
Xiao Gengwu shook his head: "It's because I often forget to eat!" He doesn't even feel the passage of time, so how could he eat on time? Fortunately, he has two brothers by his side.
They would urge him to eat from time to time, otherwise he would become even thinner. One reason he had a fever this time was because he was afraid that Yao Tongjia would abandon him, but ultimately it was because he had exhausted too much energy.
Xiao Gengwu noticed that his grandmother hadn't stood up and asked, "Grandma, what's wrong with your feet?"
Grandma Xiao didn't care: "That's how it is when people get old. If you don't cherish your body when you're young, all sorts of ailments will come knocking on your door!"
"You need to take care of your health while doing scientific research. Look at your grandfather, he's in better health than me. He can still stand up, but I can barely stand up now!"
Otherwise, she would have gone to greet her grandson when he came back this time. Xiao Gengwu talked with the two elders for a while, then turned around and still hadn't seen Little Pudding: "Where's Little Pudding?"
Yao Tongjia noticed that Ruan Shengpeng was not there: "She must have gone to the office with Grandpa!"
Xiao Gengwu was somewhat surprised: "Going to the office?" In his mind, Ruan Shengpeng was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Now he was actually bringing his granddaughter to work. Wouldn't this affect his image?
"You'll see later. Your father-in-law is completely under your daughter's thumb. I'm even afraid she'll become a tyrant in Beijing!"
A local tyrant in Beijing? That sounds like a scoundrel. And isn't Little Pudding a daughter? That sounds like a son!
Seeing Xiao Gengwu's expression, Yao Tongjia didn't want to say more: "You'll see later, she's quick-witted, sometimes even I get caught up in her tricks!"
Xiao Gengwu was somewhat incredulous: "Isn't she only one year and two months old?"
"She was a little over one year and two months old, but she started talking very early. Her sweet talk was so charming that it could make people snore. Everyone who met her would like her as long as she was willing to coax them!"
"Then why didn't she try to comfort me?" Xiao Gengwu felt a little wronged!
"Pamper you? She doesn't even pamper me much, how could she pamper you! Your daughter is very shrewd, she can read people's expressions. She probably hasn't seen what she needs from you yet, so she definitely won't pamper you. She loves pampering her grandparents the most!"
She especially liked to coax Ruan Shengpeng, making him completely lose his bearings. Yao Yanxin had raised children before and knew that children couldn't be spoiled all the time. She would refuse some of Xiaobuding's requests!
However, Ruan Shengpeng was completely subservient to his granddaughter, doing whatever she said. Fortunately, he knew himself well, and he dared not utter a sound when Yao Yanxin or Yao Tongjia disciplined the child.
However, what promises were made or how the child was compensated afterward was something Yao Tongjia could never know!
Just then, Ruan Shengpeng returned carrying Little Pudding. Xiao Gengwu's eyes followed the child. Now that he was sure it was his child, he couldn't help but think how adorable the child was with his rosy lips and fair skin!
Ruan Shengpeng carried Xiao Pudding to Xiao Gengwu's side: "Xiao Pudding, this is your father. Didn't you ask me before what a father is? This is your father!"
Yao Tongjia was surprised to hear this: "Why does she never talk about Dad in front of me?"
"Last time someone called out 'Dad' on the street and she heard it, so she asked me what 'Dad' meant. Now your dad is back, you can play with him!"
Little Pudding turned her head back and snorted coldly, clearly rejecting her father. Yao Tongjia patted her bottom.
Unexpectedly, the blow landed on Ruan Shengpeng's hand. Yao Tongjia asked helplessly, "Dad, why did you block it for her?"
"Isn't it normal for our little pudding to feel unfamiliar with her dad when she first meets him? Why did you hit her? Look how hard you hit her, my hand is all red, if you hit her bottom, wouldn't it be all red too?"
These words left Yao Tongjia even more speechless: "Where is your hand red? Do you want me to get you a magnifying glass to take a look?"
Ruan Shengpeng knew he was exaggerating: "Why are you using a magnifying glass? Our little pudding is so cute, why would you hit her for no reason? After a couple of days, she'll get to know her dad and naturally start playing with him!"
Yao Tongjia looked at Xiaobuding playing with her toys in Ruan Shengpeng's arms and asked, "Dad, do you believe it when you see her like this?"
Ruan Shengpeng didn't really believe it either, but he was a doting granddaughter, so of course his granddaughter's feelings were the most important: "A-Geng, you'll have to show for yourself later, don't rush me!"
Xiao Gengwu thought about how he was ignored by his father when he was a child, and now that he is a father, he is ignored by his daughter. Is he always on the road of being ignored?
This won't do. Looks like I need to work harder!
