The child put her finger in her mouth and looked at Yun Shishi first, then at Mu Yazhe. Suddenly, she flailed her limbs with excitement!
âYi⦠ya.. yaâ¦â
She reached out with her saliva-stained fingers and slapped his face, causing saliva to be smeared all over his face.
Yun Shishi was amused and Mu Yazhe burst out laughing as well. He looked at Yueyao and then at his wife, saying, âShe stopped crying after you put on the lock. Sometimes, itâs really hard to explain certain things! It feels as if thereâs a profound mystery behind it all!â
âSheâs just like that, crying one moment and laughing the next! She likes to be carried by you and Xiaojie the most! Especially you. No matter how aggrieved she is, sheâll stop crying and making a fuss when you carry and coax her!â
Yun Shishi snorted indignantly. âEveryone says that a daughter is close to her father. I think thatâs true!â
âIsnât she close to you too?â
Yun Shishi tilted her head and said, âItâs not that Iâm not close to her! Itâs just that once she starts crying, she wonât smile even after I coax her for a long time, you know? Sometimes, sheâs really cute when sheâs lying alone in the crib. And then when little Youyou suddenly sticks his head in, sheâd get a shock and start crying! Sometimes, sheâs very, very smart, she knows that when she cries, there will be many people fighting to carry her! But sheâs also fussy about whom she allows to carry her! If itâs not the person she wants, she will continue crying! For example, sometimes, when Hua Jin carries her, she will not stop crying. Sheâd only stop when Xiao Jie carries her!â
âIsnât it a good thing for children to be smart?! If theyâre as unintelligent as Little Yichen, thatâd be the end!â He said it like it was a matter of course.
Little Yichen was passing by the living room when he suddenly heard these words. He felt as though a huge black pot had smashed him right in the back of his head⦠that was completely uncalled for. Clutching his chest, he complained unhappily, âDaddy, youâre talking bad about me behind my back again!â
When Youyou passed by Little Yichen and saw Mu Yazhe carrying little Yueyao, he added fuel to the fire, âSee? Little Yichen, ever since our little sister was born, your position in Daddyâs heart has been getting lower!â
Little Yichen felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. Unable to contain his anger, he threatened the man, âDaddy, donât forget that you have to work during the day! When Iâm at home, Iâll badmouth you to Little Sister!â
âI dare you to do that!â
Mu Yazhe took it seriously and actually glared at the boy. âYouâre not allowed to badmouth Daddy in front of Yueyao.â
âThen why did you say Iâm unintelligent in Little Sisterâs presence?!â
Little Yichen pouted. âIf Little Sister knows that Iâm stupid and bullies me when I grow up, then thereâll be absolutely no one who will dote on me or love me anymore!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âHow old is Little Sister? How would she understand what Iâm saying?â
âIn that case, since she doesnât understand, Iâll badmouth you then. Youâve said that sheâs too young to understand anyway!â
At this point, his mind was working rather quickly!
Mu Yazhe could not out-talk him. He could only take a step back and say, âDaddy is wrong. Daddy wonât say youâre unintelligent anymore.â
Little Yichen was finally satisfied.
Having sharp eyes, he ran up to Yueyao curiously. His gaze was fixed on the silver longevity lock on her neck. He asked curiously, âWhat is this?â
âLongevity lock.â
Yun Shishi explained to him what a longevity lock was.
Little Yichen was upset again. âIf my sister has a longevity lock, why donât my brother and I have one?â
