Chapter 371 - Babysitting

Once her brother's vehicle left the house, Zhang Yu Ying ran inside to check on her niece. Upon seeing the peaceful sleeping face, Zhang Yu Ying took out her phone and took a picture of them together. 

After adding a few cute filters and a cute sticker to cover her niece's face, Zhang Yu Ying posted it to her moments. In just a few seconds, her friends' comments flooded in. As she was reading at how her friends were praising at how cute the baby looked like despite the sticker covering her face, a call came in.

Afraid that her ringtone was going to wake up the girl, Zhang Yu Ying quickly answered the call.

"Yu Ying, you're babysitting?" Wei Jun Hao's voice could be heard on the other line. 

"Hmm. My brother went out for a while," Zhang Yu Ying whispered as she peeked at her sleeping niece. "Therefore, I'm on babysitting duty."

Wei Jun Hao chuckled as he recalled that his girlfriend had rejected his invitation to go out on a date with him earlier. So it was because she was going to babysit her niece?

"Can you do it?" Wei Jun Hao asked.

"Why can't I do it? It's just looking after the baby for a few hours, right? Anyway, Auntie Wu is here with me."

Wei Jun Hao thought about it for a moment and spoke again. "I'm coming over."

"Why are you coming over? Hey, Wei Jun Hao!" Before she could say more, Wei Jun Hao had hung up the phone and the little girl in the baby cot had stirred from her sleep.

…

Zhang Yu Han peeked at his wife who kept on staring at her phone. The space between her brow creased and her expression showed her worry. With a chuckle, Zhang Yu Han pressed at the space. "Why are you frowning like your daughter?"

"When did I frown?"

Zhang Yu Han wrapped his arms around his wife's shoulder and pulled her closer. "You were never this reluctant when you have to be apart from me for a few minutes."

Li Qin Yao froze for a while before she looked up at her husband and laughed. "Mr. Zhang, did you just drink vinegar instead of juice?"

"En," Zhang Yu Han nodded as he glanced at the cup of juice in his hand. "I want my wife to pay attention to me too. It was hard to steal her away from my daughter."

The worried expression on her face gradually disappeared and Li Qin Yao tiptoed to kiss him on his jaw. "Alright. I'll put away my phone for a while and just look at you today."

Zhang Yu Han chuckled. He gave a light squeeze at her shoulder and kissed her head. 

Since his wife had decided to go back to work, Zhang Yu Han decided to help his wife to be apart from their child for a while. He had suggested for them to go on a short date and asked his sister to babysit his daughter. Anyway, his sister was very happy to do it.

Li Qin Yao rested her head on her husband's ċhėst and a small smile appeared on her face. "Zhang Yu Han, don't you think it's funny? We have never gone out to see a movie when we were dating. Now that we have become parents, we're about to watch a movie at the movie theatre together for the first time."

…

Zhang Li Xue yawned and stretched up her body. Her eyes blinked once and twice before she finally sensed that something was not right. Although she could not see clearly, she can feel that this place was not her home. Even the mattress under her was not as comfortable as the one she used to lay on.

Instead of panicking, Zhang Li Xue stayed calmly to observe her surroundings and trying to sense her mother's presence. After a while, the frown on her face started to show and Zhang Li Xue began to whimper.

"My little princess, you're awake!" Zhang Yu Ying appeared by her side.

"Are you hungry?" Zhang Yu Ying asked. "Your mom left some milk for you. I will have to warm them up first if you're hungry."

Zhang Li Xue stared at her aunt and started to flail around her hand when she was carried into Zhang Yu Ying's embrace. A yelp escaped her as her aunt rained her kisses on her face. 

What was it with the ȧduŀts and kissing her face? She only liked kisses if it came from her mother!

"Yu Ying, stop that. Li Xue did not like that you're kissing her too much."

Zhang Li Xue paused when she heard another familiar voice. Her hands and legs moved as she recalled that this was the person who often showed up and played with her.

"How did you know that she did not like me kissing her?" Zhang Yu Ying sent a displeased look to her boyfriend. 

"Look at the face," Wei Jun Hao pointed at the little girl. "Isn't that the same face that your brother would make when he's unhappy? But I'm not the same." A cheeky smile appeared on his face. "I like your kisses. Come. How about raining kisses on my face instead?"

Zhang Yu Ying looked at her boyfriend with her eyes wide. "Shameless! Li Xue, let's not get close to this shameless uncle."

Zhang Li Xue frowned when she heard this person had said that she resembled her father. Then she started to nag, saying that she resembled her mother more.

Suddenly, the frown on her face disappeared and Zhang Li Xue looked at the two ȧduŀts with her toothless grin.

Seeing that the little girl had smiled, Wei Jun Hao looked at his girlfriend smugly. "Li Xue, you like me more, right? Come on. Let me carry you."

Zhang Li Xue moved her hands excitedly as Wei Jun Hao carried her. Her hands moved to smear her saliva on the man's face as punishment for saying that she looked like her father. However, she only got to wipe her hands on the man's shirt. Dissatisfied with how it had turned out, Zhang Li Xue opened her mouth and tried to bite Wei Jun Hao's ċhėst and smear more saliva while she was at it.

"Look. She's hungry," Wei Jun Hao said. "Yu Ying, quick, go, and prepare her milk."

"Oh!" Zhang Yu Ying then ran into the kitchen to find Auntie Wu and asked about reheating the milk for her niece.

Seeing that his girlfriend had gone, Wei Jun Hao turned to the little girl in his embrace and laughed. "Sorry, Li Xue. I am not your mother. I'm a man. I don't have brėȧst milk."

Zhang Li Xue froze. She was not trying to find her favorite food on him, alright! She can still tell that this person was not her mother!
