Chapter 1170: 1169, you will spoil Tongtong.
“Xin Xin, well done!”
Wen Ran walked over hand-in-hand with her son to where Mo Xiuchen was. Ziyi shouted excitedly, “Daddy, daddy.”
While calling out, he let go of Wen Ran’s hand and hugged Mo Xiuchen’s back, lifting his little legs, trying to climb onto him.
Wen Ran was tickled by his antics and laughed heartily, indulgently saying, “Ziyi, do you want daddy to carry you? Co, give mommy a kiss and I’ll lift you up.”
“Mommy.”
Upon hearing this, Ziyi put down his lifted foot, turned around, and pecked Wen Ran on the cheek as she bent over. Then he turned back again.
Wen Ran picked Ziyi up and placed him on Mo Xiuchen’s back, whispering a reminder, “Mo Xiuchen, be careful when you stand up.”
“Okay.”
Mo Xiuchen smiled in response, holding Momo in one arm and Xin Xin in the other. He slowly stood up, saying, “Mommy and daddy are going to take you back to your room to sleep. Tomorrow is your birthday. There will be lots of uncles, aunts, brothers, and sisters who will co to celebrate with you. You need to sleep early tonight.”
Wen Ran didn’t let go; instead, she stood behind and supported Ziyi, who, fearing he might fall, clung tightly to his father’s neck.
“Brother, hee hee.”
Momo reached out to touch Ziyi’s head. Unable to dodge, Ziyi’s hair was caught by her, and she imdiately took advantage and laughed triumphantly.
“Momo, don’t pull brother’s hair.”
Wen Ran scolded softly. The tugging made Ziyi wince in pain, and regardless of the risk of falling, he freed one hand to grab Momo’s hand that was pulling his hair.
“Momo, Ziyi, no misbehaving.”
Mo Xiuchen removed Momo’s hand and Wen Ran also grabbed Ziyi’s small hand. Together, they managed to herd the three little ones back to the nursery.

Bai Yiyi spent the evening accompanying Wen Jin in entertaining people from the Drug Supervision Bureau, and after having a few drinks, even though not drunk, she felt sowhat uncomfortable.
On her way back, she kept her eyes closed to rest, only opening them when they reached her doorstep.
“Yiyi, can you manage the stairs yourself, or do you want to help you up?” Wen Jin asked with concern before Bai Yiyi got out of the car.
“No need, I can get in by myself.”
Bai Yiyi shook her head, stepped out of the car, waved goodbye to Wen Jin, walked into the residential complex, and took the elevator upstairs.
Upon taking out her keys to open the door, Bai Yiyi paused, because laughter was coming from the living room…
She hesitated for a few seconds before opening the door, and sure enough, she hadn’t heard wrong. That man who had gone abroad for so project before the Spring Festival had actually returned to the country and even ca to her ho.
At this mont, Doctor Gu was in the living room, on the sofa, playing a doctor-patient ga with Tongtong.
“Tongtong, quickly blow on daddy’s owie, it hurts so much.” Doctor Gu pretended to be in great agony, one hand covering the spot where Tongtong had given him a pretend injection,
“Daddy, blow, no hurt.”
Tongtong, not even two years old but speaking clearly, uttered every word distinctly, lting Doctor Gu’s heart.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, Doctor Gu looked up towards the entrance.
His handso face, which had not yet managed to hide its smile, collided directly with the gaze of Bai Yiyi standing at the doorway. Maybe it was the long ti since they had seen each other, or maybe it was because Bai Yiyi had sothing to drink tonight, but she was montarily dazed by Doctor Gu’s charming and handso smile.
She blinked, and the next mont, her brows slightly furrowed.
“Mommy!”
From the sofa, Tongtong saw her mommy coming back and imdiately threw away the syringe, turned around, and slid down the sofa on her belly.
Gu Kai quickly shifted his gaze and supported Tongtong with his large hand, saying worriedly, “Tongtong, slow down.”
In the kitchen, Bai Yuqin carried a plate of fruit out, smiling, “Yiyi, you’re back. Ah Kai has been playing with Tongtong for quite a while now.”
Bai Yiyi entered the living room, bent down, and embraced Tongtong, who fluttered into her arms like a little bird, and gently spoke, “Tongtong, did you miss Mommy?”
“Mhm.” Tongtong nodded with a smile, her tender little hand pointing to her chest, showing she missed her mommy with all her heart.
Wen Ran’s heart instantly softened into a warm lake, lifting Tongtong for a kiss, as Tongtong giggled and planted a kiss on each of her cheeks.
“Mommy, Daddy.”
After kissing, Tongtong twisted her body and pointed out Gu Kai standing in front of the sofa to Bai Yiyi.
“When did you return to the country?”
Carrying Tongtong, Bai Yiyi walked over to the sofa and asked indifferently.
“I ca back this morning. Tomorrow is Momo’s, Ziyi’s, and Xin Xin’s first birthday. As their uncle, of course, I had to rush back,” Gu Kai lifted his fine brows and settled back into the sofa.
A flicker of surprise crossed Bai Yiyi’s eyes. He’d been back since morning? Why hadn’t she heard Wen Jin ntion it?
“Are those what you bought?”
Her gaze swept across several gift bags nearby as she asked calmly.
“Mhm, I brought a set of toys from abroad for Tongtong, along with two outfits,” Gu Kai said casually.
“Daddy, needle.”
Tongtong clambered out of Bai Yiyi’s arms, grabbed a syringe, and went to find Gu Kai. There was no help for it; she had seen so many ‘patients,’ and her daddy had always been the best at playing sick.
Not like Mommy, who always half-heartedly played for a while and then brushed her off.
Seeing his daughter coming with a syringe, Gu Kai imdiately stretched out his hand cooperatively, transforming his face like an actor and feigned being a patient in a lowered voice, “Doctor Gu, my heart hurts. Could you check what’s wrong with ?”
“Giggles.”
Tongtong was amused by Gu Kai’s antics, discarded the syringe, and turned to fetch the stethoscope.
“You spoil Tongtong too much like this,” Bai Yiyi said, watching the interaction between Gu Kai and Tongtong, frowning slightly in admonishnt.
Gu Kai chuckled, “How could that be? I’m nurturing Tongtong’s future as a doctor.”
“Tongtong only enjoys playing doctor’s gas right now; it doesn’t necessarily an she’ll actually like being a doctor in the future.”
Every ti Bai Yiyi hears Gu Kai say with such pride and satisfaction that he’s going to train Tongtong to be a doctor, or that Tongtong will definitely be an excellent doctor, she can’t help but want to burst his bubble.
Gu Kai snorted dismissively and continued playing with Tongtong.
Tongtong played with great authenticity, listening with a stethoscope and taking pulses. Then, she gave Gu Kai an injection and even pulled out dicine from a nearby dicine box for him.
This set of toys she was playing with was bought by Gu Kai for Tongtong when he returned from a business trip last year.
Having played with it for a year, Tongtong had not lost a single item; every night before bed, she would carefully tidy up her dicine box, ensuring nothing was missing before she could rest easy.
“Tongtong, it’s ti for bed. You should go back,” Bai Yiyi, feeling like a third wheel after watching for a while, sensed that Tongtong had been taken over by Gu Kai who had been abroad for half a year upon his return.
Gu Kai nodded and softly said, “Tongtong, let’s stop here for today. Tomorrow Daddy will take you to your aunt’s house for your little brother and sister’s birthday, okay?”
“Okay,” Tongtong’s large eyes sparkling, obviously more precocious than other children her age.
