This was probably considered a formal greeting between him and little Yueyao!
For Little Yichen, this was a heartwarming moment. He walked over to Youyou and rested his chin on his shoulder. He quietly watched the soft little fellow stretching her arms and legs in Youyou’s embrace. She put her chubby little hands in her mouth, at times curling her fingers.
“She even knows how to curl her fingers?”
Little Yichen quickly moved her hand away from her mouth and said, “Don’t chew at your hands!”
Then he wiped the saliva off her hand with his own hand.
Hua Jin laughed as he watched from the side. “Yueyao has really found the right family to come into. Look at how her two brothers dote on her.”
Curiously, little Yueyao opened her mouth and spat out a small bubble. She smacked her lips and put her finger in her mouth. Her bright eyes rolled around quickly as she took in the world around her.
Mu Yazhe was amused when he saw this. “What is she looking at?”
“She’s probably looking at her two young brothers!”
Gong Jie walked over and said to Youyou, “Let uncle carry her.”
“No!”
Youyou pouted and tightened his arms protectively around the baby. “She’s finally not crying when I carry her. Let me hold her a little longer!”
Gong Jie furrowed his brows as well. “I haven’t been able to carry her for the past few days. Little Yueyao wants to see Uncle too. Give her to me!”
The boy turned around, refusing to let him touch the baby.
Little Yichen, who was watching from the side, was amused. He said, “From now on, Little Sister won’t need to get off the bed and walk. When we go out, I’ll carry her and after that, Youyou will carry her, then Mommy will carry her. After that, Uncle and Daddy and I will fight over who may carry her next! Her tiny pair of legs will become merely decorative pieces!”
Yun Shishi leaned against the bed and smiled. “Alright! Stop fooling around with her. Carry her to me; it’s time to feed her!”
When Mu Yazhe heard this, he quickly stood up and handed the baby over to her. Then, he turned around and swept a meaningful glance across the room. When everyone saw his gaze, they tactfully walked out the door.
After everyone left, Yun Shishi lifted her clothes and fed the child.
While the child was breastfeeding, Mu Yazhe sat by the bed and looked around. Suddenly, he said, “This child has your eyes.”
“How can you tell?”
“I can tell by the outline of her eyes.”
Mu Yazhe gently pinched her cheeks. He did not dare to use force, but his symbolic touch was as smooth as milk.
He added, “It’s good that she takes after you. When she grows up, she’ll definitely be a beauty.”
“Didn’t they say that our daughter looks more like her father? We won’t be able to tell yet, it’s too early to come to a conclusion! I think our daughter will be prettier if she looks like you.”
Mu Yazhe’s heart was filled with infinite tenderness as he looked at his daughter!
This was different from how he felt when he first carried Mu Yichen in his arms!
At that time, he had not been there to experience the pregnancy, nor had he accompanied Yun Shishi throughout, to be with her through all the ups and downs. He did not even witness the arrival of the new lease of life in the delivery room.
Hence, when he carried Mu Yichen, he simply looked at the boy and exclaimed in his heart, Oh! This is my son!
It was just that although he was happy, he was not deeply moved. As Little Yichen grew up, he did not know how to take on the role of a father. He only knew that he could not pamper him too much, or else he would spoil him and that would not be good!
Therefore, being strict with his son was his education philosophy.
