Xiao Changyi frowned, "The word ’death’ is inauspicious, don’t say it."
"Alright, alright, I won’t say it, I won’t say it..." Despite saying this, An Jing couldn’t help but be overjoyed, still laughing.
At this moment, her husband must be quite frustrated. Not only did he have less time alone, but he also couldn’t kiss her freely in front of such a small child, ha ha~
Xiao Changyi was indeed frustrated. Very frustrated. Right now, all he wished for was for the children to grow up quickly and move out of his and his wife’s room to another room.
While Xiao Changyi wallowed in his frustration, Su Yi Jing started to fidget again, trying to struggle into a sitting position.
Su Yixing saw Su Yi Jing’s movements, blinked in confusion, and then, just like his older brother, he started to wriggle, looking like he wanted to sit up too.
An Jing saw this and thought that Su Yixing wouldn’t be able to sit up—after all, previously, Su Yi Jing and An Yiqing were the first to roll over. She assumed that Su Yixing would also lag behind Su Yi Jing and An Yiqing in sitting up on his own.
But to her surprise, Su Yixing really did sit up.
Once seated, Su Yixing broke into a grin. He wasn’t grinning at An Jing and Xiao Changyi, but at his brother, Su Yi Jing. It was unclear if he was showing off or simply happy.
An Jing: "..." Star, why do you have to be as troublesome as Qinger?
When Xiao Changyi saw Su Yixing sit up, his cold eyes paused for a moment, and then, as if giving a reward, he took out a piece of white jade from the box and dangled it in front of Su Yixing.
The white jade was warm and smooth, strung on a red cord. Xiao Changyi held the cord and with a slight flick of his wrist, the white jade swung tantalizingly in front of Su Yi Jing’s eyes, back and forth, back and forth.
Su Yixing, who had been grinning at Su Yi Jing, was immediately captivated by the white jade. His eyes sparkled with excitement and he tried to grab it with his hands.
Seeing Su Yixing’s tiny hands reach out, Xiao Changyi lifted his hand higher, and the white jade rose with it, staying just out of reach of Su Yixing’s grasp.
Unable to snag the white jade, Su Yixing grew anxious, his little hands slapping his own little legs in frustration.
An Jing watched the scene and burst into laughter, "Husband, are you trying to make Star cry again? You know very well he especially likes valuable things, yet you dangle it in front of him, tempting him, but not giving it to him... You’re being too mean."
Actually, An Jing couldn’t understand why her second son was so fond of valuable things, as if by instinct. The more valuable, the more her second son liked them.
Sometimes she even wondered if her second son knew the worth of these items.
Xiao Changyi replied indifferently, "I am rewarding him for being able to sit up on his own."
An Jing found it even more amusing, "That’s a reward? That’s clearly tormenting Star, you know! Look at him, he’s about to cry. I don’t care, if he cries later, you’ll have to comfort him yourself. You’re the one who made him cry, so you take responsibility. I definitely won’t do it."
Xiao Changyi said, "I don’t comfort children."
An Jing retorted, "Give me a break, it’s not that you don’t comfort children, you just don’t know how. All you know is to show your face. Luckily, the kids all like you, and putting your face in front of them works every time. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn’t be so affectionate with you. Come on, just give the jade to Star now, he’s really about to cry."
Only then did Xiao Changyi place the jade on Su Yixing’s small legs, letting him grab it himself.
