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!
“Yi… ya.. ya…”
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, “She stopped crying after you put on the lock. Sometimes, it’s really hard to explain certain things! It feels as if there’s a profound mystery behind it all!”
“She’s 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, she’ll stop crying and making a fuss when you carry and coax her!”
Yun Shishi snorted indignantly. “Everyone says that a daughter is close to her father. I think that’s true!”
“Isn’t she close to you too?”
Yun Shishi tilted her head and said, “It’s not that I’m not close to her! It’s just that once she starts crying, she won’t smile even after I coax her for a long time, you know? Sometimes, she’s really cute when she’s lying alone in the crib. And then when little Youyou suddenly sticks his head in, she’d get a shock and start crying! Sometimes, she’s very, very smart, she knows that when she cries, there will be many people fighting to carry her! But she’s also fussy about whom she allows to carry her! If it’s not the person she wants, she will continue crying! For example, sometimes, when Hua Jin carries her, she will not stop crying. She’d only stop when Xiao Jie carries her!”
“Isn’t it a good thing for children to be smart?! If they’re as unintelligent as Little Yichen, that’d be the end!” 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, “Daddy, you’re talking bad about me behind my back again!”
When Youyou passed by Little Yichen and saw Mu Yazhe carrying little Yueyao, he added fuel to the fire, “See? Little Yichen, ever since our little sister was born, your position in Daddy’s heart has been getting lower!”
Little Yichen felt even more aggrieved when he heard this. Unable to contain his anger, he threatened the man, “Daddy, don’t forget that you have to work during the day! When I’m at home, I’ll badmouth you to Little Sister!”
“I dare you to do that!”
Mu Yazhe took it seriously and actually glared at the boy. “You’re not allowed to badmouth Daddy in front of Yueyao.”
“Then why did you say I’m unintelligent in Little Sister’s presence?!”
Little Yichen pouted. “If Little Sister knows that I’m stupid and bullies me when I grow up, then there’ll be absolutely no one who will dote on me or love me anymore!”
“How old is Little Sister? How would she understand what I’m saying?”
“In that case, since she doesn’t understand, I’ll badmouth you then. You’ve said that she’s too young to understand anyway!”
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, “Daddy is wrong. Daddy won’t say you’re unintelligent anymore.”
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, “What is this?”
“Longevity lock.”
Yun Shishi explained to him what a longevity lock was.
Little Yichen was upset again. “If my sister has a longevity lock, why don’t my brother and I have one?”
