Chapter 685 Who Did He Take After?
“Young Madam, you must be tired from the journey back, right? Why don’t you go upstairs and rest first? I’ll get them to send food to your room later.”
“Young Madam…”
“Young Madam…”
Uncle Zhang’s nagging was even worse than Huo Chenhuan’s. Su Yayan could not take it anymore and turned to look at Huo Chenhuan for help.
Huo Chenhuan, who felt that he had fallen out of favor in this family, smiled at her and said that he could not help her even if he wanted
to.
Fortunately, when Ling Xiaoqi found out that she was back today, she stepped on the Huo family’s doorstep and saved Su Yayan from Uncle Zhang’s nagging.
Su Yayan’s eyes lit up when she saw Ling Xiaoqi. She immediately held her hand and smiled. “Xiaoqi is here. Uncle Zhang, get the kitchen to prepare some snacks. Xiaoqi likes sweet food.”
Since there was a guest, Uncle Zhang naturally had to greet her. He stopped nagging Su Yayan and entered the small kitchen.
Su Yayan heaved a sigh of relief and looked fearful.
Ling Xiaoqi looked at one and then the other. She was confused. “What’s wrong? You’ve been away for two months and you miss me so much that you’re pouncing on me. You even remember that I like sweet food and specially prepared snacks for me. Tsk tsk tsk, indeed I’m your true love.”
“Pfft! Don’t flatter yourself. My true love is my husband. I was so passionate towards you just now because Uncle Zhang was really too good at nagging. It’s been almost half an hour since I came back. He can’t wait to tell me everything from head to toe. My ears are still ringing. If you came a little later, you might not have seen me.”
When Ling Xiaoqi heard that, a trace of sadness and envy flashed past her eyes.
“He cares about you too. Old people always care about children the most. You weren’t home for the first three months, so he must have been thinking about you. Now that you’re finally back, can he not seize the opportunity to dote on you?”
Su Yayan sighed. If she did not know about this, she would have fled the moment Uncle Zhang spoke. Why would she stand there and listen to him talk for so long?
“By the way, where’s Dun Dun?” Ling Xiaoqi looked around in confusion.
Usually, when the little thing saw her bringing Hua Hua over, it would stick close to her without even saying anything. Today was a rare day. She had been here for a long time, but she had yet to see it.
“He’s playing in the back garden. When I just got pregnant, Chenhuan said that it’s not good for a pregnant woman to hug a dog. This little fellow has been bearing a grudge ever since. These few days, whenever we take the initiative to approach it, it would despise us and not be willing to carry us.” Su Yayan’s words were filled with the vicissitudes of a rebellious child. “This little rascal is getting more arrogant as he grows older. I wonder who he took after?”
Huo Chenhuan, who was caught off guard by his wife’s gaze, was speechless. Why are you looking at me? Although he usually called me “daddy’, this little rascal’s genes definitely had nothing to do with him. He would not take the blame for this!
Ling Xiaoqi’s eyes flickered when she heard Su Yayan’s words. She smiled and said, “Although these little fellows don’t know how to speak human language, they are no different from humans after interacting with them for a long time. If you say these things in front of them, they won’t throw a tantrum at you. Even my Hua Hua will give me a hard time when I get angry with her. If I don’t coax her, she will never let you hug her.”
