The little princess huffed as she looked at the two people in front of her. Her tiny lips were spitting bubbles as her aunt shook the rattling toy at her. Zhang Li Xue turned her head towards where the noise was coming from and tried to reach for her toy. Just as she thought that she was going to grab it, the toy was taken away.
Frustrated, Zhang Li Xue slapped the mattress with her tiny hands.
"Alright, stop teasing her. Let her have that toy," Wei Jun Hao spoke. Seeing his friend's identical frown on the little girl's face, Wei Jun Hao was worried that the little girl would have her father's temper. He had a hunch that this little girl would be someone hard to deal with when she grew up.
As the thought crossed his mind, he began to shudder.
His gaze shifted to his girlfriend who continued to tease the little princess. Seeing the happy expression on Zhang Yu Ying's face, Wei Jun Hao's eyes softened.
At this time, Wei Jun Hao was thinking that it was not so bad that they did not go out for a date. Spending their time with Li Xue like this can be fun too. At least, he could practice looking after a child. Maybe when they were married and have a cute daughter like Li Xue, he would already be a pro at coaxing a baby.
Just thinking about the future made him happy.
He had worked so hard to convince this girl to date him.
From the moment he realized that he liked Zhang Yu Ying, Wei Jun Hao was unable to look at other girls. He had met a lot of girls when his aunt had sent him to blind dates. However, none of the girls was Zhang Yu Ying.
Zhang Yu Ying had inherited her mother's beauty. Although she can be fierce at times, Wei Jun Hao knew that this girl was timid. She was smart but can be an airhead at a time.
Back then, when Zhang Yu Han bullied him, it was Zhang Yu Ying who would help to defend him. He did not know when he had liked her until the siblings decided to follow their parents and moved to Country C.
Since then, he had tried to keep in contact with Zhang Yu Ying. Although he had often hinted that he liked her, Zhang Yu Ying had often ignored him until she returned to Y City a year ago. Now that he had made her his girlfriend, the next step was to convince her to marry him.
As he was deep in his thought, Wei Jun Hao leaned forward and planted a kiss on Zhang Yu Ying's cheek.
Seconds later, the girl turned to look at him with her eyes wide. Her hand covered the spot where he had kissed earlier.
"Why did you suddenly kiss me?" Zhang Yu Ying asked.
"What's wrong with kissing my girlfriend?"
"There's a child here!"
"Li Xue won't mind," Wei Jun Hao turned to the little child. "Right, Li Xue?"
"Ah!" Zhang Li Xue shouted before she smiled. The little princess did not know what the ȧduŀt was whispering about. She heard that someone had called her name and thought that they wanted to play with her.
"Li Xue, let's not play with this shameless uncle," Zhang Yu Ying said. "Don't get close to him and learn something bad from him."
Wei Jun Hao narrowed his eyes. He grabbed the rattle from his girlfriend and handed it over to the little princess. Then he turned to Zhang Yu Ying with a pitiful expression. "Zhang Yu Ying, how about giving me a kiss? Come on. Just give me one kiss."
"Are you crazy?" Zhang Yu Ying spoke in a hushed voice. "Even if Li Xue could not see a thing, Auntie Wu is still around!"
"Just one!"
Her unwillingness started to waver as Wei Jun Hao continued to stare at her. After giving it a thought, Zhang Yu Ying leaned in to give him a peck on the lips. "Alright. Just one. Happy?"
Wei Jun Hao's lips curled into a victorious smile. He wrapped his arms around Zhang Yu Ying's waist and leaned his head on her shoulder.
"Hey, what are you trying to do?" Zhang Yu Ying tried to struggle out of his embrace.
"Zhang Yu Ying, do you like Li Xue? Do you think she's adorable?"
Zhang Yu Ying stopped moving around. She looked at the little girl who was waving the rattle and smiled. "En. Of course, I like her. She's my niece. How can she not be adorable?"
"Then how about we get married and have our own child?"
Hearing his question, Zhang Yu Ying looked at him with her eyes wide. "No. I still want you to continue courting me. Wei Jun Hao, you are still on probation."
"How long will I have to be on probation?" Wei Jun Hao looked at her with a dissatisfied look.
Zhang Yu Ying moved away as she finally escaped his embrace. "Until I tell you that you have passed."
As Wei Jun Hao continued to coax his girlfriend with his sweet words, Zhang Li Xue waved around the rattle until she was tired.
A long time had passed, but her favorite mother was still nowhere around her. Instead, she was forced to play with the two people who keep bickering about something unimportant.
Even though she was a baby, she found that entertaining ȧduŀts can be tiring. After resting on the mattress for a while, Zhang Li Xue began to look for her mother again. However, no matter how long she waited, her mother was nowhere around her.
"Li Xue, what's wrong?" Zhang Yu Ying went forward to coax the little girl, but the little girl won't stop crying.
After trying to feed her with milk, waving around the rattles, and pointing at the pretty chandelier light, Zhang Li Xue continued to cry. A few minutes have passed and the little princess did not look as if she was going to stop crying anytime soon.
"Li Xue, stop crying, alright," Zhang Li Xue said as she continued to coax her. "If you don't stop crying, then aunt will cry too."
Seeing that the two girls in front of him were crying, Wei Jun Hao was suddenly speechless. "Alright, let me coax Li Xue." He took the little girl in his embrace and tried to coax her.
After a while, the front door swung open and Zhang Li Xue's parents stepped in.
Zhang Yu Han whispered something to his wife before he walked over to his friend and took his daughter from him. "Li Xue, what's wrong?" He shot a sharp gaze at Wei Jun Hao and frowned. "Did this uncle bully you?"
"Hey, when did I bully your daughter?" Wei Jun Hao clicked his tongue.
Zhang Li Xue mumbled something to her father with an aggrieved look on her face.
"Let's wait for a while," Zhang Yu Han said as he patted at the child's thɨġh. "Your mother went to the restroom first. She'll come back soon, alright?"
Her cry gradually stopped and the little princess started to rub her face on her father's shirt. Anyway, other than her mother, this was the person who would spend most of his time with her. She has to make do with him now while her mother was away.
"My little princess!"
Hearing that familiar voice, Zhang Li Xue stopped muttering her grievance to her father and looked around to find her mother.
Once she was in her mother's embrace, Zhang Li Xue started to pout and cry again. Her tiny mouth continued to mutter her dissatisfaction that her mother had left her for too long. Her head rubbed on her mother's ċhėst as she wept. It was as if the ȧduŀts had bullied her without her mother's presence.
"Alright, mom is here," Li Qin Yao patted at her daughter to coax her. Seeing the look on her daughter's face, she let out a laugh. "I went out for a while and you're already like this. How am I supposed to go back to work soon?"
Zhang Li Xue sniffled and touched her mother's ċhėst.
"You're hungry? Alright. I'll feed you. Stop crying, alright?"
