“Okay!” Ying Bao said.
Huo Yunshen hugged his daughter up and left with Xu Xiyan.
The reason for bringing Ying Bao back to Huo mansion this time was to give their respect to his ancestors and tell them that he and Xu Xiyan were already a married couple.
It was natural that Ying Bao would carry the name of Huo.
The ritual was an essential part of a Chinese family. Huo Xun had invited every relative to his house to witness the important moment.
Huo Yunshen and Xu Xiyan kneeled before the memorial tablet of Huo Yunshen’s ancestors, showing them that he wasn’t alone anymore, that he has a wife and a kid that he loves very much.
Huo Yunshen’s oldest sister, Huo Yijing, and her husband also came back to the Huo family with their son, Lu Qiancheng, to witness the moment too.
Huo Yijing and Lu Mingsheng were a happy couple. It wasn’t hard to see from the little details that they were happily married.
Lu Mingsheng was famous for pampering his wife, even on par with Huo Yunshen.
And because of how Lu Mingsheng was devoted to her, Huo Yijing looked younger and prettier than she really was.
Huo Yijing also had a great personality. Even though she was dominant during her work, she was easy to get along with in real life. She knew that her mother was kicked out of the family because of Xu Xiyan, but she did not blame her for it and instead consoled Xu Xiyan.
“Don’t worry, my mum is like that,” Huo Yijing said. “We sisters tried to change her mind before, but it was useless. We just have to wait for her to think it through.”
“Little Cherry,” Huo Yijing greeted Ying Bao for the first time. “Do you know who I am?”
“You’re Brother Qiancheng’s mummy, am I right? Then you’re my aunty!” Ying Bao replied. “Ying Bao has three aunties, and they’re all pretty!”
Huo Yijing couldn’t help but laugh at how smart and sweet the little kid was.
She took out an expensive jade accessory and a huge red packet and said, “Here is a gift from your aunty.”
“My mummy told me not to accept things that I did not work for,” Ying Bao declined.
Huo Yijing completely fell in love with the child and could not help but praise Xu Xiyan for educating her in the right way.
“Don’t worry, it’s just a small gift,” Huo Yijing said. “Your mummy said it’s fine for you to take it.
Ying Bao turned to look at her mother, and Xu Xiyan said, “You can take it. Remember to say thank you to Aunty Yijing.”
“Thank you, my beautiful and kind aunty!” Ying Bao said and lifted herself to kiss Huo Yijing on her cheek.
Huo Yijing hugged Ying Bao as she turned to her husband and laughed, “Lao Lu, I think I want a daughter now.”
“Oh, really?”
Lu Mingsheng’s eyes shot wide open. He’d always wanted a daughter, but Huo Yijing had refused, saying that she did not want another child. Now that she had given the green light, it looked like Lu Mingsheng had an important fight ahead of him that night.
Huo Yijing put Ying Bao down, pulled her son to her side and said, “Chengcheng, remember this: Ying Bao will be your little sister from now on, and you’ll have to take good care of her, okay?”
“Will I be her only brother then?”
