Who wouldn’t be delighted to hear these words?
Feng Qingxue greatly admired in private, Father Lu was indeed a master among masters and worthy of learning from.
Both Commander Chen and Ye Zhengjun laughed heartily, feeling particularly pleased. They said, "Lu Jiang has shown a fearless spirit and a combination of luck and talent to get to where he is today, which isn’t really to our credit. Enough about him. We see his stern face every day in the army, it’s quite tiresome. Let’s focus on Xibao instead. Where is Fubao? We only learnt after meeting our former leader that Xibao is actually a frequent visitor to the leader’s residence, where there’s even a picture of Xibao with the leader. I heard Fubao’s name was given by the old leader himself, is that true?"
"Yes, his formal name is Lu Tianhui, but his nickname Fubao was given by Comrade Wang. Let me bring him to meet you."
Feng Qingxue smiled softly and went into the inner room.
Wang Fengqiao who was taking care of Fubao stopped her niece and quietly asked, "Are there more important visitors outside? Will they be staying for dinner? Let me check what we have to entertain the guests. If not, I can go to the deli."
Living with her niece for a while, Wang Fengqiao had really broadened her horizons.
"Commander Chen and General Ye from our army are here in the Capital for a meeting. According to strict regulations, they probably won’t stay for dinner. Even if they do stay, a homecooked meal should suffice. I’ll take care of it when it’s time to cook." It was not a lack of respect towards Commander Chen and Ye Zhengjun. They were family, while Belna was a friend and an outsider, different considerations applied.
Feng Qingxue brought out Fubao, but Wang Fengqiao didn’t dare follow, lacking the courage to face the VIPs outside.
Xibao immediately pointed at Fubao and exclaimed, "Grandpa, look at my baby sister!"
"What’s your sister’s name?" Ye Zhengjun teased him.
"Fatty!" Xibao immediately laughed until his eyes squinted.
Commander Chen was taken aback and burst into laughter, causing the sleeping Fubao to awake and start crying.
Feng Qingxue skillfully soothed Fubao, and his cries soon subsided. His chubby cheeks were still wet with tears, making his eyes shine even brighter after the cleansing of the tears.
Commander Chen held her in his arms and was very fond of her, saying, "This little girl is so lovely, just as blessed as Xibao."
His praise for Fubao also included Xibao, showing how universally beloved Xibao was.
Ye Zhengjun put down Xibao and held Fubao in his arms.
Fubao was only a month old, she couldn’t speak or express herself. Naturally, she couldn’t compete with the lively and adorable Xibao, and so they hand her back to Feng Qingxue after a while, switching their attention back to Xibao.
"Xibao, I heard you’ve been really up to some mischiefs lately!"
Upon hearing Commander Chen’s words, Xibao puffed out his chest, looking proud as a peacock, "Yes!"
If he had a tail, Feng Qingxue thought, he would surely wag it high to the sky.
Ye Zhengjun patted Xibao’s head, pinched his chubby cheeks, and looked at him carefully. "Xibao, tell me, how did you manage to win so many people’s hearts? Can you tell grandpa why you are so likable?"
"Because I’m good, grandpa!" Xibao replied.
Everyone understood his meaning, he was saying he was good and it was natural for everyone to like him.
Such confidence, Feng Qingxue had never seen in anyone before.
Commander Chen and Ye Zhengjun both laughed out loud.
"Oh, this Xibao!" Commander Chen couldn’t help but remark, full of marvel.
