Priceless Baby’s Super Daddy

“Come, darling, put on your shoes. Let’s go home.”

Ying Bao was sitting on the edge of the bed. Xu Xiyan helped her daughter put on her tiny leather shoes.

Jing Huaduo had been feeling guilty all this time for losing sight of Ying Bao on the day of her kidnapping. He said kindly, “Ying Bao, how about I carry you?”

Ying Bao pursed her tiny lips together. She looked him over and shook her head. “I don’t want Great-grandpa to carry me. You’re an old man, your bones break easily. They may break if you carry me.”

“Haha… oh, you…”

Jing Huaduo did not know whether to laugh or be offended. He hadn’t expected the little girl to remember the things he had told her!

Ye Xun opened his arms and asked, “My sweet little daughter, how about a hug?”

Again, the little girl shook her head. She said seriously, “Uncle Tree-Leaf, you should go hug Auntie Sanyan instead. Don’t keep her waiting!”

“…”

What was she talking about?

The little kid was already trying to match-make the adults around her. Surely it wasn’t a good idea to encourage something like that?

Ye Xun blushed a bright red as the other adults in the room burst into laughter.

Huo Sanyan’s heart overflowed with love for her little niece. What a thoughtful, considerate child! How wonderful of the little girl to try to get certain “benefits” for her aunt!

Tang Feimo squeezed past the adults and volunteered himself. “Little Cherry, let me give you a piggyback ride!”

He smiled, revealing his small perfect teeth. His handsome little face glowed with excitement.

He could hardly wait to carry his little bride on his back, the way grooms traditionally carried their brides on their wedding day.

“Why do you want to give me a piggyback ride?”

“Because you’re my little bride!” Tang Feimo answered matter-of-factly.

Cherry cocked her head as she considered Tang Feimo’s small back. She suddenly asked, “Feimo, when did you become the piggy, Zhu Bajie? I know Zhu Bajie gave his bride a piggyback ride!”

Tang Feimo: “…”

Oh well. For his adorable little bride, he was willing to become the pig, Zhu Bajie.

“I don’t mind being Zhu Bajie this time. So do you want me to give you a piggyback ride?” Tang Feimo turned his head to ask.

“I don’t want that. I want Feimo to stay handsome forever.” Ying Bao extended her tiny hand towards Huo Yunshen. “I want Daddy to carry me!”

Huo Yunshen stepped forward with open arms and hugged his daughter. “All right, you’re coming home with Daddy.”

“Okay. Let’s go home.”

…

Back in Shengshi Yujing, in Xu Xiyan’s apartment…

Ying Bao followed Xu Xiyan into the living room. She stood in the middle of the room, cocked her head to the side, and asked her mother: “Xi baby, can I live here now? Is this a dream?”

As a result of her kidnapping, Ying Bao had found her real father, and could now live with both her mommy and daddy. For a small child like her, it was as though Christmas had come early.

But she had to confirm it with her mother because she knew firsthand that happiness wasn’t easy to come by.

Xu Xiyan pinched her daughter’s tiny cheeks. “Of course this isn’t a dream, darling. You can live here now. And you can use both apartments!”

“That’s great! Now I can be with Mommy forever!”

The cute little girl skipped happily to the crystal door. She opened the door and said excitedly, “Xi baby, I’m going to find Daddy.”

She waited for Xu Xiyan to give her permission before running through the doorway to Huo Yunshen’s apartment, shouting “Daddy!” as she went.

Huo Yunshen heard his daughter’s voice. He emerged from one of the bedrooms and waved to her. “Daddy’s here. Come here, Cherry.”

Ying Bao ran happily towards Huo Yunshen, who pointed to the bedroom he had just come out of and said, “Look at the room Daddy prepared for you. Do you like it?”
