“Come have a seat.” Xuxu waved her over before looking down at the baby in her arms.
The little one already had his fill and was getting drowsy. She carefully pulled down her shirt and placed him into the crib.
Su Yue and Bai Jing went over to the crib.
“Look, isn’t he cute?” Su Yue asked, pointing at the baby who had just had his fill. She said to Bai Jing, “This is Yangyang, his eyelashes are so long now. His eyes and nose take after my third sister-in-law. When he grows up, he’ll surely be the guy of every girl’s dreams.”
Bai Jing carefully studied Yangyang’s face. His face was smooth and plump, giving her the urge to squeeze his cheeks.
She smiled and stretched out her arm towards his face. Her fingertips lightly grazed his cheek.
“Ah…” Suddenly, she screamed and retracted her arm.
At the same time, the sleeping Yangyang frowned and started to wail.
Su Yue was about to ask what had happened when she saw that there was a three to four centimeters scratch on Yangyang’s face.
The baby’s skin was so delicate, the scratch immediately started bleeding.
“Ah, Yangyang’s face is scratched and bleeding,” Su Yue cried. She carried him up and stared at his face—her heart ached.
Xuxu was washing the baby’s things in the washroom. When she heard Su Yue say that Yangyang’s face was bleeding, she immediately rushed out. “What happened?”
She ran over and saw fresh blood oozing out from the scratch on Yangyang’s face.
“How did this happen?” Xuxu asked Su Yue.
Su Yue also looked at Bai Jing in confusion.
She didn’t know what happened either. She heard Bai Jing scream and when she turned to look, Yangyang’s face was already bleeding.
“I… I…” Bai Jing was terrified and she paled. The hand which she used to graze his face was hanging in midair. She stammered, “I… I found him too cute, so I couldn’t help myself from touching his face…”
Xuxu looked at Bai Jing’s hand. Her nails weren’t long, but they weren’t trimmed evenly. There were also calluses on her dry fingertips.
She smiled and comforted Bai Jing. “It’s alright. Babies grow really fast. Don’t be afraid.”
Bai Jing bowed her head in guilt. “Third sister-in-law, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it.”
“Silly girl, I didn’t blame you.” Xuxu smiled and patted her back gently.
The babies’ skin was delicate and they often scratched their own faces, too.
Xuxu took Yangyang out of Su Yue’s arms and pacified him for a bit. He fell asleep soon after.
The baby had fallen asleep but Bai Jing still sat on the edge of the bed, her head hung in guilt.
Xuxu didn’t have a good rest, so she went to the opposite room to replenish her sleep.
She had wanted to ask Mu Li to take care of the kids, but Su Yue insisted that she could do that, and Xuxu complied.
“It’s almost six but my third sister-in-law is not up yet.”
The two kids were now awake. Su Yue placed Yangyang onto the bed and she was about to check his diapers when the door opened.
A tall figure strolled in.
