When An Xiaxia was called away by Su Xiaomo, Sheng Yize declared his territory in a low voice . “She’s my wife now . ”
An Yibei adjusted his glasses . “And she’s my sister . Take good care of her . Cherish her and don’t let her down . ”
He made his point with those succinct words .
Sheng Yize smiled . “I will . ”
He then turned around and strode off to look for An Xiaxia, leaving An Yibei behind, sighing to himself .
It was a mix of regret and relief .
Papa An chuckled . “Xiaxia’s babies are almost a year old . When am I going to see you with a girlfriend?”
An Yibei snorted . “What’s the rush? I’m in no hurry . ”
Si Bai happened to walk past them at that moment . Hearing their conversation, he asked in a quizzical tone, “Uncle, do you still not have a girlfriend?”
An Yibei was speechless .
“Poor you!” Si Bai looked at him sympathetically .
“Since when am I your uncle?” An Yibei said in a chilly voice . “Go play somewhere else, you brat!”
Scratching his head, Si Bai politely bid him farewell . “I’ll go feed my wife, then . Bye!”
An Yibei smacked his forehead and darted a glance at Papa An, only to find the latter smiling brightly .
“Yibei, it’s time to put some effort into it!”
Si Bai put a milk bottle in Pepsi’s hands, then took a bigger one himself . He then sat down beside her and drank his milk .
Pepsi looked around curiously . She shrieked in excitement after spotting some balloons .
Si Bai gave it a glance, then said in a self-important manner that reminded one of a senior citizen, “That’s for babies!”
Pepsi whimpered . Wasn’t she a baby now?!
“Don’t cry! I’ll go get one for you!” Si Bai, the little henpecked husband, went to fetch his wife a balloon right away .
However, they were too high up for him to reach .
“Why, isn’t it Si Bai? Now, call me ‘daddy’ and I’ll get one for you!” Qi Yanxi sauntered over to his side at that moment and teased the boy .
Si Bai pursed his lips . “I have a father already . ”
“You never know when you’ll need an extra!” Qi Yanxi rubbed his head .
Si Bai refused him earnestly after some consideration .
“I don’t think you’re suitable for that . ”
That was like a little dagger stabbing into Qi Yanxi’s chest .
“What makes you say that? Huh?!” Qi Yanxi bristled and went berserk as he squeezed Si Bai’s cheeks .
Si Bai sighed . “Because you’re so childish . ”
Qi Yanxi was speechless .
Brushing off Qi Yanxi’s hand, Si Bai offered weighty advice . “Uncle, it’s time to grow up . ”
Qi Yanxi froze on the spot .
Sheng Yize happened to walk past him at the moment and Si Bai ran happily to his side . “Father-in-law, can you get me a balloon? I want to give it to Pepsi…”
Sheng Yize give it some thought, then said decisively, “No . ”
Si Bai was defeated and asked in disappointment, “But why?”
Sheng Yize said calmly, “It’ll sap her of her will to make progress . ”
“But…”
“No buts! You’re not playing with Pepsi!” Sheng Yize scolded with a stern look on his face .
His little Pepsi was the apple of his eye; there was no way he would let this Si Bai boy take her away just like that!
Si Bai’s next question was quite incisive . “Father-in-law, are you trying to take Pepsi away from me?”
… Were kids nowadays all this precocious?
Sheng Yize cleared his throat and said, “No, this is for your own good . You need to study hard and make a good living, alright?”
“Father-in-law, you make such a good point!” Si Bai said with admiration .
Sheng Yize was satisfied by this reaction . “So… do you know what to do now?”
Go back to nursery school, brat!
Si Bai nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking rice . “Yes! I’m going to make a lot of money and buy Pepsi a lot of balloons!”
