This certainly gave Su Xiaong a fright!
Prince Huang remained calm, gnawing on a chicken leg, and just glanced sideways at Shuangshuang without intervening.
Su Xiaong looked incredulous,
"Does this girl have a screw loose?"
"Is that how you talk about your own daughter?"
Bai Sixian rolled her eyes at Su Xiaong.
Su Xiaong quickly cleared her throat, gently patted the little girl’s back,
"Alright, alright, stop laughing, if you hurt your throat, it’ll be embarrassing."
Shuangshuang didn’t listen; she just continued to imitate her great-grandfather.
And as for the great-grandfather, seeing the little girl laugh only spurred him to laugh even more.
They really laughed for quite a while before the old and the young finally cald down.
Yin Shaohui really found it hard to continue eating this al and genuinely regretted traveling such a long way to celebrate his two grandchildren’s birthdays.
The frustration didn’t subside, and he couldn’t vent it at the table.
Yin Shaohui stood up,
"I’m stuffed, I’m going out for so air!"
"..."
"Fourth, co out with !"
"..."
Yin Shixiu pursed his lips, t Su Xiaong’s puzzled eyes, and whispered,
"It’s nothing."
Su Xiaong thought, how could her father-in-law be full from eating, it seed like he was full from anger? The tone seed sowhat assertive... not good.
"Mom, where’s the cake?"
Shuangshuang’s belly was already round, but she heard that her grandmother made a cake, and it had been on her mind.
Su Xiaong said,
"Once everyone finishes eating, we’ll clear the plates, and then we’ll have cake, can you wait a little?"
"I’m full, I’m full, Shuangshuang wants cake, right!"
"Grandpa, you really shouldn’t spoil her like this..."
"Why can’t I spoil her? Sister Zhou, how about you, are you full?"
"I’m good, let’s bring on the cake."
Thus, the servants ca to take the dishes away, and Prince Huang’s little paw quickly snatched the last chicken leg from the plate into his bowl.
Su Xiaong worriedly watched Prince Huang,
"Huanghuang, didn’t you eat too much?"
Prince Huang licked his fingers and looked at Su Xiaong earnestly,
"No, I didn’t..."
"..."

Yin Shixiu followed Yin Shaohui out into the yard...
Yin Shaohui turned to look at him,
"When was it?"
Yin Shixiu sniffled...
"It’s been for so ti."
Yin Shaohui took a deep breath and said angrily, lowering his voice,
"You stole your dad’s stuff to please your father-in-law! Fourth, I really haven’t spoiled you for nothing!"
"I’m just making use of things; you see, keeping such good things locked up is a waste, isn’t it?"
Yin Shixiu tried to talk his way through.
"Oh, keeping them safe in layers in a vault is a waste, but being mistaken for ordinary stones by your father-in-law is not?"
Yin Shaohui huffed, glaring at him!
"Little ng’s dad doesn’t really understand these antiques."
"Then why not make one out of rocks and give it to him!"
"But Little ng’s mom understands."
At this point, Yin Shixiu had to soften his tone.
Yin Shaohui raised a hand, pointed at him, then dejectedly put it down with a heavy sigh...
Yin Shixiu quickly said,
"In September, isn’t there an art auction in Beijing? I’ll accompany you there, and you can pick whatever you like."
Yin Shaohui raised an eyebrow,
"You’ll go with , not letting go alone?"
"Of course."
Yin Shaohui glanced at Yin Shixiu, his temper finally cooling a bit.
Speaking of the September art auction, he did have his eye on sothing.
"Dad, let’s go back to eat; we’ve been out too long, they might find it strange."
Yin Shaohui took a deep breath, was about to turn back when he suddenly rembered sothing, grabbing Yin Shixiu,
"Besides that chess set, what else did you take?"
"..."
Yin Shixiu was montarily speechless; he had taken so many things, how could he rember?
Yin Shaohui’s face darkened visibly, and Yin Shixiu hurriedly said,
"Nothing else, how could I dare take all your things away."
"You better tell the truth!"
"Of course, it’s the truth."
"I’ll have it checked when I return, I warn you."
"Alright, alright, check, check..."
Yin Shaohui snorted, "A thief from the house is hard to guard against."
The two of them returned inside.
Yin Shixiu wasn’t worried about Yin Shaohui checking; even if he did, he’d just call the bank rather than personally check the vault piece by piece.
————
The two returned to the living room.
There were two animal-shaped cakes on the table.
One was a tiger that Prince Huang loved, and the other was a puppy that Shuangshuang liked.
Su’s mother was always skillful, and with these two little cakes placed on the table, Shuangshuang imdiately turned her big, bright eyes toward Su Xiaong,
