Chapter 75

An Sitong lifted the little cub up: "Cub, your mommy is angry, quickly act cute!"

Following the haphazard guidance from her brothers and sisters, Sui Yan had now mastered the skill of acting cute.Yoouur favorite novels at novelhall.com

The little cub then hugged Liu Hua's leg: "Mommy mommy~ Sui Yan knows she was wrong! Don't be angry, mommy!"

Seeing the cream smeared on her clothes by the little cub, Liu Hua barely restrained herself from giving these two unreliable companions a beating.

"Stop fooling around! Get out of here!"

"Okay!" The two unreliable companions obediently headed toward the living room in sync.

Ye Wan poked her head out upon hearing the commotion: "What's going on?"

Liu Hua showed her the big bowl and pointed at An Sitong: "I asked her to whip some cream, but instead she and Sui Yan ate it all."

Ye Wan burst out laughing: "Alright, don't be angry, I'll whip it again."

Driven out of the kitchen, An Sitong and Sui Yan squatted obediently in the corner, managing to stay still for a bit. Sui Yan cupped her little face, looking around, then boringly traced circles on the floor with her finger.

"Auntie, I'm so bored."

An Sitong sat cross-legged: "Hmm... does Sui Yan have any fun toys?"

The little cub tugged at the carpet fibers: "Sui Yan has building blocks, a little house, and little cars."

An Sitong sighed: "But I don't know how to play with those. What if I accidentally break Sui Yan's toys?"

The little cub pondered, then her face lit up: "Then why don't we go outside and build a snowman?"

An Sitong stood up, picking up the cub: "Let's go! ... But I don't want to do the work."

The two looked at each other, then shouted in unison: "Xiao Han!"

"Brother!"

Qi Linhan and Sui Yu emerged from some corner with a few others: "What's wrong?"

An Sitong grinned mischievously: "We want to build a snowman outside, want to join?"

Qi Linhan's expression was indifferent: "You don't want to do the work yourself, so you're looking for labor?"

Sui Yu looked puzzled: "What's labor?"

Sui Yan's fair little face was flushed red from the fire as she struggled to pull an extremely large carrot plush toy from the huge box in front of her.

"Ta-da! Sister, look at Sui Yan's super big carrot!"

Ye Anning saw the carrot that was bigger than the little cub and reached out her arms: "Sui Yan, let sister hug your carrot."

Sui Yan obediently carried the carrot plush, bigger than herself, over to her sister: "For you, sister!"

Ye Anning took the carrot and gently squeezed it, savoring the soft plush texture as she contentedly narrowed her eyes.

Sui Yan ran back to her spot and continued opening her presents.

In no time, the little cub exclaimed again: "Wow! A candy castle! Chocolate princess!"

Shen Nian put a little crown from her gift on Sui Yan's head: "Sui Yan is our little princess too!"

Li Yuan eyed the pile of big boxes in front of Sui Yan, then looked at his own stack of medium-sized boxes.

He sighed: "Sui Yan, you have so many gifts."

Sui Yan scratched her head, finally noticing: "Yeah, you're right!"

Sui Yu was fiddling with his new phone, not looking up as he said: "Little Li, you didn't even give Sui Yan a Christmas gift. She spent a long time picking one for you."

Ever since meeting Sui Yan, Little Li felt he was too immature.

He clenched his fist resolutely: "Sui Yan, I'll save money every day from now on and definitely give you a Christmas gift next year!"

Sui Yan was focused on opening her presents, waving her hand: "No need, Brother Li Yuan. Uncle Li and Auntie already gave Sui Yan gifts."

Li Yuan didn't argue, for he had made up his mind!

Glancing over from the dining area, Liu Hua was relieved to see the children gathered in the living room opening gifts.

Her gaze fell on the Christmas tree hung with little gifts in the courtyard and the snowman wrapped in a scarf, and she couldn't help but smile.

This was so nice. Sui Yan must be very happy.
