“When did I stop you from walking around in your slippers?” Su Yue raised her face and glared at Ming Ansheng. She blushed and her cheeks became hot.
Afraid that Ming Ansheng would blurt something embarrassing again, she pinched him hard on his thigh as a warning.
“No…” Ming Ansheng paused dramatically as he grinned at Su Yue.
Su Yue gritted her teeth and glowered at him. Her expression seemed to say: ‘Continue if you dare.’
“Didn’t you? I must have remembered it wrong.” Ming Ansheng chortled quietly.
His laughter was so pretentious.
Su Yue rolled her eyes and refused to talk to him.
“This lass is heavy.” Wang Yuexiang muttered as she peered at Xiaojiao in her arms. It had been a long while since she last carried a child, and the child’s weight was a little too much for her.
But she had no intention of putting her down for she still wanted to kiss her.
She strode ahead as she touched Xiaojiao’s buttocks and legs. She kept pecking Xiaojiao’s cheeks with brimming affection. “Such an adorable girl. Fair and tender.”
She muttered under her breath about how much she adored this granddaughter of hers. She was absolutely unabashed and open about her fondness.
“Grandmother, do you not like me anymore now that you have my sister?”
A green-eyed monster instantly appeared before her.
Wang Yuexiang entered with Xiaojiao in her arms. Ming Beichen stormed towards her, looking angry.
Wang Yuexiang was momentarily stunned, but she was quick to shake her head. “No, I still like you.”
She turned around and passed Xiaojiao to Ming Ansheng. She bent and fondly stroked Beibei’s face. “Your sister is still young. You need to protect and take care of her alright?”
This was what little Ming Beichen wanted to hear. He puffed up his chest and nodded fervently. “I got it. I will protect my sister in the future.”
He was a boy and he was her older brother. He should be responsible for protecting his younger sister.
“Good.” Wang Yuexiang kissed Beibei’s forehead before changing into her slippers. She took Xiaojiao back from Ming Ansheng.
She walked towards the living room.
Ming Ansheng opened the shoe cabinet and retrieved a pair of pink slippers. He placed it in front of Su Yue’s feet. “There you go.”
Su Yue nodded, and she was just about to remove her shoes.
Ming Beichen appeared in front of her as he waved happily at Su Yue. With a cheeky grin he said, “Stepmother, it has been some time.”
Su Yue didn’t know what to say…
“Cheeky fellow. What did you call her?” Ming Ansheng jabbed Beibei’s head gently and gave him an admonishing look.
This fellow was doing it on purpose.
“Alright, I got it. You forgot about your son now that you have your wife. Hmph!” Beibei stuck out his tongue at Ming Ansheng before glancing at Su Yue. “Mommy!” exclaimed Beibei cheekily.
Su Yue flushed crimson as she gawked at Beibei’s face. He reminded her of Meiduo.
She was reminded of how Meiduo had pleaded with her to accept Beibei.
“Mm.”
Su Yue muttered something inaudible in response.
She flushed crimson again.
“In the future, you’re my mommy.” Beibei wound his arms and hugged Su Yue.
He was genuinely happy.
This time, Su Yue knew that he was serious. She stretched her hand and tapped his back.
