Correction: Tong Xiang should call Su Xiaong the sa way Little Junjie does, Fourth Granny or Aunt. Little Aunt is how Yin Bong refers to Su Xiaong.
————
Little Sister...
Su Xiaong couldn’t help but chuckle lightly, and said to Yin Bong,
"Little Junjie even said it was a little brother! I wonder which of the siblings is more accurate."
Yin Bong’s eyes weren’t big, and her looks could only be considered average in the Yin Family.
But her small eyes were particularly gentle, making people feel comfortable when she looked at them.
"How co, Little Aunt, you haven’t asked the doctor?"
Although the hospital was officially not supposed to reveal the baby’s gender to pregnant won, rules were dead letters, and if you really wanted to know, there were ways.
"Whether it’s a boy or a girl, it’s all the sa, so I didn’t ask."
"True enough."
Yin Bong laughed softly.
"By the way, where’s your husband?"
"Oh, he’s over there chatting with soone else, you know how it is at these events, people in business can’t sit still."
Su Xiaong saw a hint of helplessness flash in Yin Bong’s eyes.
Thinking of Yin Shixiu, she couldn’t help but turn around to search...
The hotel’s banquet hall was luxurious and grand, with bright lights on the ceiling that were not too dazzling.
The white light shone on sets of exquisite suits and brilliant dresses.
In one corner of the banquet hall, a small symphony orchestra was playing a lively waltz, adding more vibrancy to the wedding scene.
Wedding celebrations were always beautiful, even if they were accompanied by the cacophony built from piles of small talk and formalities beneath the symphony.
Perhaps Su Xiaong only had eyes for Yin Shixiu, or perhaps Yin Shixiu was simply too outstanding, as she quickly found the handso side profile in a navy blue suit.
One hand holding a wine glass and the other in his pants pocket, he seed to finish a conversation with soone in front of him, pulling out his hand for a shake.
Handling such occasions, he was at ease, yet Su Xiaong noticed a hint of impatience between his seemingly gentle brows.
Just finishing with one guest, another ca along...
Su Xiaong leaned to the side, elbow on the chair, chin resting, completely unaware of how srized her gaze was towards Yin Shixiu.
Shuangshuang imitated her, standing on the chair, leaning on the backrest, and mumbled,
"Mommy, it’s Daddy..."
"Yeah, Daddy..."
"What is Daddy doing?"
"Hmm... talking to soone."
"Mommy, that aunty is so ugly..."
Su Xiaong nodded seriously, fully agreeing with Shuangshuang’s words,
"Yeah, really ugly."
"Don’t want Daddy talking with the ugly one..."
"...Yeah."
Su Xiaong had already spaced out, her eyes only on Yin Shixiu, completely oblivious to what Shuangshuang said or what she replied.
When she ca to her senses, she saw Shuangshuang darting off towards Yin Shixiu.
Su Xiaong was startled, only to see Shuangshuang pull on Yin Shixiu’s hand, looking up with a serious expression and saying sothing...
Then, she noticed the professionally dressed woman beside him looked awkward for a mont.
Subsequently, Yin Shixiu’s gaze turned towards her...
Blinking, Su Xiaong thought to herself:
Why is he looking at with that almost-smiling expression, how odd! What exactly did that little girl say over there!
Following Yin Shixiu’s gaze, the woman also looked over.
Xiao ng didn’t even know why she was embarrassed, instinctively turning around, leaving what she thought was a cool but actually stiff backside for them.
She knew all too well that this little girl Shuangshuang always said and did unpredictable things. Just thinking of the aningful expression Yin Shixiu had just now made her uneasy.
Her index finger rubbed the patterned tablecloth in front of her, surprised to find the fabric smooth and soft, even better than what she had at ho; she thought she might inquire with the hotel manager later about where to buy such material...
Shuangshuang didn’t really say much, just trying her best to express the conversation she and Su Xiaong had a mont ago.
Actually, it was just a playful remark from Xiao ng, she didn’t really think the woman was ugly.
On the contrary, the woman’s temperant was exceptionally good.
"Innocent child’s words, my wife’s a big ball of jealousy, and quite nearsighted too, she didn’t wear her glasses today, so she was just babbling, President Xu, don’t take it to heart."
Yin Shixiu spun a tale on the fly, otherwise, there was no good way to explain how "Aunty is really ugly" could have slipped from Shuangshuang’s mouth.
He feared President Xu would be firmly convinced that the child’s words were taught by the mother.
"Oh, I thought so too, I’ve heard President Yin’s wife is very young, and seeing her today, she truly has a baby-face."
"The banquet is about to start, I’ll just head back to my seat first, let’s arrange for another al together soti."
The young woman, being well-mannered, gave a slight nod and walked to her seat.
After Yin Shixiu picked up Shuangshuang, no one else had the tactlessness to co over and disturb them.
Shuangshuang wrapped her arms around Yin Shixiu’s head,
"Daddy, Mommy kept looking at you!"
"Really?"
"Mm-hmm! And smiling so happily... like this!"
Saying so, Shuangshuang stretched her arms, pulling Yin Shixiu’s mouth wide apart.
"Did Mommy ask you to co over?"
Shuangshuang, having spoken a few words, then spaced out, her gaze falling on the decorative balloons not far away, with a look of yearning, seemingly wanting one.
But before she could speak, Yin Shixiu had already carried her back to her seat.
"I heard soone was gawking at all along..."
As Yin Shixiu sat down, he casually remarked, controlling his volu so only Xiao ng could hear.
Su Xiaong quickly turned her head,
"I did not!"
"You did!"
Shuangshuang slapped her little paw on the table, her waterlon-shaped haircut facing Su Xiaong!
Su Xiaong’s eyes widened, baring her teeth,
"I, did, not."
"Yes! Like this!"
With that, Shuangshuang turned her body around, using Yin Shixiu’s shoulder as the backrest of a chair, leaned her chin up, and grinned widely like a lovestruck little flower!
Coincidentally, the mother and daughter duo did resemble each other a bit.
It seed Shuangshuang was determined to fra her!
Seeing how earnestly she imitated her expressions, she hadn’t been so serious even in her early education classes!
Yin Shixiu chuckled out loud.
"I never said you couldn’t look, why are you upset?"
"I—"
Su Xiaong’s face reddened, honestly, there wasn’t much to argue about, but to openly admit... felt a bit embarrassing.
Plus, Yin Shixiu was already smug, now he’d be even more so.
Yin Bong, seeing that Shuangshuang had brought her little uncle back, said to Tong Xiang,
"Xiao Xiang, go and get your dad back, the banquet’s about to start."
Tong Xiang, this little girl, wasn’t yet nine this year, but among her peers, she was tall.
With slender limbs, she looked even taller.
Tong Xiang wore a pale yellow little dress today, her hair styled in temporary curls, looking like a little princess.
The girl probably had eyes only for her dad, as she dashed off without watching her way, ending up face-to-face with the bride who had just entered!
Tong Xiang ran up, her montum was significant, and she ran head-on into Guo Tong!
Tong Xiang ran over with such force, crashing right into Guo Tong!
Luckily, Yin Bowen was quick-eyed and caught Guo Tong as her body leaned backward.
Guo Tong clutched her stomach tightly, his face grim, furious,
"What is wrong with you! Running like that! If you bump into people, how can you, a little girl, take responsibility?"
Not only Guo Tong, but even bystanders, seeing the incident, they were all shocked. This pregnant belly that got hit so hard proved surprisingly resilient.
Tong Hua, seeing her daughter in trouble, quickly ran over to stand by her side and apologized to Yin Bowen and Guo Tong,
"Brother, sister-in-law... I’m sorry, are you okay?"
