Yin Shixiu looked down,
"I know, but I don’t mind if you say it a hundred more tis, and I don’t mind letting Dad look on with a strange face as an audience..."
"..."
Su Xiaong looked up, only to see Su Chengji squinting, smiling at them.
Instantly, the mood was gone.
Following instructions, Bai Sixian made a small cake for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang, and had the servants pack it in Yin Shixiu’s car.
Before leaving the mountain, Su’s father and Yin Shixiu talked for a long ti about building a greenhouse and developing a flower field.
It was indeed a bit late, and since they had to attend Yin Bowen’s wedding the next day, they had to stop just as their conversation was getting interesting.
After packing up their things, the family went down the mountain.
Once the children and grandchildren left, Yijing Manor returned to its usual tranquility.
Bai Fengmao put on his training clothes, intending to practice a set of Tai Chi in the yard before going back inside.
Bai Sixian walked to his father’s side and practiced along with him, to which Bai Fengmao jokingly said,
"When you were little, you refused to learn from , saying it was only for old n, with such slow movents. What’s changed? You don’t mind now?"
Bai Fengmao asked with a smile.
Bai Sixian didn’t care about his father’s teasing, continuing to practice Tai Chi beside him with the sa solemnity...
Ti moves too fast, yet too slow.
"This Yin Shixiu... probably, it’s true, if you’re not family, you don’t enter the sa door."
Bai Fengmao murmured, with a touch of regret in his words.
Having said enough, he didn’t continue. Bai Sixian just smiled lightly.
——————————————————————————————————
Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaong returned to their downtown residence almost at ten.
Beijing was still brightly lit, but the two little ones had long fallen asleep.
Su Xiaong was indeed a bit tired too, and after washing up, she lay on the bed, leaving the rest to Yin Shixiu, not caring anymore.
The whole family slept late, so everyone got up late the next morning.
Yin Shixiu, who never slept in and had a habit of morning exercises, also slept until almost nine.
Xiao ng groggily woke up, only to find the sunlight outside the window glaringly bright.
She glanced at the clock on the wall, a jolt of surprise hitting her, and hurriedly pushed Yin Shixiu,
"Get up!! We’re late!"
Yin Shixiu lazily stretched and asked in a hoarse, casual voice,
"What ti is it?"
"It’s nine! We have to be at the wedding banquet hall by ten!"
Su Xiaong said as she hurriedly got out of bed, dashed into the bathroom to wash and dress, and after a good while, she ca out to find Yin Shixiu still leaning against the bedhead...
"Why aren’t you moving?"
"What’s the rush? The banquet doesn’t start until noon, and the wedding ceremony is not until the evening."
Su Xiaong rushed over to him, pulling on his arm to get him up,
"You’re Yin Bowen’s uncle, you need to be there to support the scene, hurry up, hurry up! Don’t let it cause Yin Shiqing’s family to be unhappy."
"What? Are you afraid they’ll be unhappy?"
Su Xiaong pointed to her big belly,
"All I’m hoping for now is for Little Treasure to be born healthy, I don’t want any more issues to arise."
Yin Shixiu saw her worried expression, hugged Su Xiaong’s neck, and their foreheads touched...
"Don’t worry, Little Treasure will definitely be healthy and safe."
After speaking, the man who rarely appeared so lazy got out of bed and began preparing to go out.
Xiao ng, with her large belly, felt no need to wear a very fancy dress, so she chose a loose white dress, with hand-embroidered edges.
The delicate embroidery only occupied a corner of the hem, appearing simple yet elegant, with a sense of design.
With a big belly, her appearance was charming, and Su Xiaong, who had always been playful, now exuded a bit more of a gentle and serene deanor.
The outfits for Shuangshuang and Huang Huang had been custom-made early on.
The little ones wore formal attire and looked like two exquisite dolls.
As for Yin Shixiu, the walking clothes hanger, he casually picked a dark blue suit with embroidery on the chest from his wardrobe, complenting Su Xiaong’s dress.
He looks good in anything.
Despite rushing, the family arrived at the hotel where the banquet was held after eleven.
"What’s going on? You’re so late?"
Zhou ngqin glanced at Yin Shixiu, slightly frowning,
"Didn’t we agree you’d co early to help your brother greet guests?"
Su Xiaong knew they would get called out...
However, Yin Shixiu seed to have prepared an excuse in advance,
"Xiao ng was too tired when we got ho last night and woke up late this morning. I was worried she didn’t get enough rest, and with the heat, if anything happened..."
"..."
Su Xiaong watched as Yin Shixiu explained seriously and really wanted to give him a kick.
Obviously, he was the one who slept in, using her as a shield.
Fortunately, the Yin family elders knew they had celebrated Shuangshuang and Huang Huang’s birthdays yesterday, which had been exhausting with all the up and down the mountain.
So, they didn’t bla them much more, just quietly told Yin Shixiu,
"Go greet your big brother."
Yin Shixiu nodded and went with Xiao ng to apologize to Yin Shiqing and Shi Haiyan.
Yin Shiqing didn’t mind these details much, and he understood that Yin Shixiu didn’t really care about Yin Bowen and Guo Tong’s wedding.
As for Shi Haiyan, her words were a bit more sour,
"It’s okay, at least the nephew and niece-in-law ca."
Yin Shixiu wasn’t looking for a fight, so he didn’t care.
One reason they were late was indeed to let Xiao ng rest a bit longer.
Another was that he truly didn’t care about Yin Bowen and Guo Tong’s wedding.
Also, if the wedding were smaller, it would be fine, but with so many prominent figures from politics and business coming in and out...
It inevitably ant a round of socializing.
Yin Shixiu wasn’t happy about that.
Su Xiaong didn’t have as many thoughts as he did; even though they were a bit late, fortunately, the luncheon had not yet started.
She seated Shuangshuang and Huang Huang.
And sat with Yin Shiqing’s daughter Yin Bong’s family.
Yin Bong’s daughter is nad Tong Xiang, a girl with a very introverted personality.
In various large and small events, Su Xiaong had t Yin Bong’s family a few tis and knew this little girl was just quiet and reserved.
This quiet and reserved nature was different from her second sister’s grandson.
Tong Xiang, even in front of her parents, was equally quiet and spoke little, blushing easily.
This obedient deanor always makes it hard not to like her.
"Tong Xiang, did you greet Little Aunt yet?"
Yin Bong and Yin Bowen might be siblings, but her nature wasn’t as assertive as her brother’s.
"Hello, Little Aunt..."
This Tong Xiang’s nature must take after Yin Bong.
"Hello."
Su Xiaong smiled warmly, wanting to get closer to this well-behaved little girl.
Just as she was about to prompt Shuangshuang and Huang Huang to greet, she turned to see them already off their seats...
"Where are you going?"
Xiao ng asked, they didn’t respond, and following their path, she saw Yin Junjie running over to them.
The boy was also dressed in a dashing little suit, with a neat bow tie.
Xiao ng saw it was Yin Junjie coming over, so she felt at ease and didn’t call the siblings back.
Turning back, she t Tong Xiang’s curious, inquisitive gaze at her bulging belly.
Yin Bong also noticed her daughter’s gaze and couldn’t help but start a conversation,
"Little Aunt, you must be due soon, right? When is your due date?"
Xiao ng laughed,
"Soon, September 1st."
"You and Little Uncle are really loving... Isn’t raising three tiring?"
"It’s okay..."
Xiao ng touched her head.
"Mom... is there a little sister in there?"
