Chapter 1274: A Happy Family
In the delivery room, Jun Shiyan, who had not had the time to see the baby, half-knelt in front of the bed. His heart ached as he looked at his exhausted wife, he kissed her eyes gently. “You’ve worked hard.”
Ling Sheng was so tired that she could not open her eyes. Her small hand swept across his palm like a feather, and her heart was filled with happiness.
The baby was born on the ninth day of the twelfth month. Ling Sheng decided to follow Xiaoqi’s name and call him Xiao Jiu. However, it happened to be snowing heavily that day, so her family did not call her Xiao Jiu but Little Snowball.
Little Snowball was different from her brother, Xiaoqi, when he was young. Xiaoqi was very obedient when he was young. As long as he was not hungry or dirtied his diapers, he would not cry or make a fuss.
Little Snowball loved to cry, and her cries were loud and clear. The delicate little girl started to cry out of nowhere.
Miraculously, when the snowball was crying, the whole family couldn’t coax her even if they took turns. As soon as Movie King Huo appeared, she immediately stopped crying and even reached out her little arms for a hug.
Little Snowball liked Grandpa. As long as Grandpa coaxed her, she would not cry or make a fuss. Ling Sheng and Jun Shiyan were both jealous.
At night, Jun Shiyan was afraid that the snowball would cry and affect Ling Sheng’s rest, so he sent the little girl to his parents-in-law.
Little Snowball liked Grandpa, and Grandpa liked Little Snowball too. He often held her in his arms and refused to let anyone else carry her. Huo Xiao was so angry that he blew his nose and glared.
What was wrong with the little girl? He could like any one of them, but he just had to like her grandfather, who was not professional at all and was idling around.
Nangong Lun was also jealous. Every time he hugged the little snowball, he would secretly tell her to not like her grandfather.
Other than her grandfather, Little Snowball loved Ji Xing the most. Every time Ji Xing and Song Yiyan came, she would stretch out her arms to look at Ji Xing and ask for a hug.
Song Yiyan was extremely envious every time. She tried her best to attract the Little Snowball’s attention but was always defeated.
Little Snowball started to learn how to walk early, Xiaoqi and Little Sangyu taught her how to climb and roll every day.
In nine months, she would be able to walk on her own. Every day, she would start crawling. She would sway and follow his siblings like a little penguin, becoming their little tail.
Little Snowball was different from Xiaoqi when he was young, she was a vicious bear.
The drawing book of her siblings at home could be torn clean by her if they weren’t careful.
Her brother and sister’s paint could be scattered everywhere if they weren’t paying attention. Her face would be full of color.
Her siblings spoiled her, her grandparents spoiled her, and her father spoiled her.
Grampy bought a study drawing book and spread it out on the floor. She tore it. If she likes to tear it, she tore it as hard as she could until she was happy.
Her brother and sister used the pocket money they’d saved up to buy a lot of paint and paintings, wanting her to paint as much as she wanted to, to nurture a future Impressionist master.
Grampy had become a show-off. His family’s little snowball had caused some destruction and he posted it on Weibo. My little snowball is amazing!
As a mother, Ling Sheng was tired. She had been spoiled since she was young. What if she became a little devil?
Little Snowball had started learning to speak when she was seven months old. However, even after nine months, she still couldn’t say a single word.
Huo Ci carried the little girl and coaxed, “Snowball, call Grandpa. Be good and call Grandpa.”
Little Snowball looked at him with her big eyes and touched his face with her little hand. She was drooling and was smiling at him.
Huo Ci was very patient. The great Movie King who was usually a clean freak did not mind his granddaughter’s saliva at all. He taught her how to speak. “Grandpa!”
Little Snowball’s eyes lit up and she looked in the direction behind her grandfather. She shouted loudly, “Daddy.”
Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened. He picked up the little baby and stuffed it into the arms of the people around him. “Go with your father!”
Jun Shiyan did not expect his daughter to call him daddy first. He kissed the little girl happily. “Call me again, little snowball. Call me daddy.”
The little snowball seemed to have noticed how uncomfortable his grandfather was. When she turned around, her eyes were filled with tears of grievance as she looked at her grandfather’s back, “Grandpa…”
When Huo Ci heard the little snowball’s tender voice, his heart melted. He stopped in his tracks, turned his head, and carried the little girl from Jun Shiyan’s embrace. He glanced at him provocatively and coaxed the little snowball, “Call me again.”
Jun Shiyan’s arms were empty and his baby daughter was snatched away. He could not help but say, “Dad, the snowball is calling you grandfather.”
Huo Ci’s handsome face darkened and he shouted at him angrily, “Get lost!”
Little Snowball hugged her grandfather’s neck and called out excitedly, “G-Grand…”
Huo Ci was speechless. It was better not to speak!
By the time the little snowball accurately called out “Grandpa”, she was already one year and two months old. She walked steadily and would run to the door every day to sit down and wait for her brother, sister, and grandfather.
Ling Sheng’s worry became reality, little Snowball became the little devil. At home, she was the boss.
The little snowball was born with a sweet tongue, and her words were as sweet as honey. Everyone who heard it felt as though they had just eaten honey.
Occasionally, the little snowball would make a mistake. After she made a mistake, she would run to the corner of the wall and be punished to face the wall. After learning how to read from her brother, she would begin writing her own self-reflection letter. Her crooked and childish handwriting made people feel less angry.
When the little snowball was in kindergarten, Xiaoqi and Little Sangyu were already in primary school.
Every day after school, the little snowball would go to the entrance of the school to wait for her siblings to return home together. She would stand at the entrance of the school with her little hands on the metal gate, looking forward to seeing them.
The parents who picked up the child and the guard uncle at the door all knew her now. She came to pick up their siblings every day, she was like a little adult and was extremely cute.
She was the granddaughter of Movie King Huo and Movie Queen Nangong, the daughter of the richest man Jun Shiyan and the new best actress in the entertainment industry, Ling Sheng, and the sister of the two popular little celebrities Ling Xiaoqi and Sangyu. She was a princess who was loved by everyone.
What was rare was that she did not have a princess temper at all. She was obedient, cute, and smart.
The Huo family was a big family like the Jun family and the Nangong family. They were different from other rich families, they never let their chauffeur pick up their babies. They always came personally.
Whoever had the time should come over, the people who came changed every day. Mom and Dad, grandparents, great-grandfather and great-grandmother, as well as grandfather and uncle.
“Brother, Sister!” Little Snowball looked at the two figures who rushed out first and waved her hands excitedly. As if afraid that she could not be seen, she even jumped up and waved her hands as she shouted, “I’m here, I’m here.”
Xiaoqi and Little Sangyu were the first to leave the school gate. Holding one of their sister’s hands, they walked towards their own car.
The parents at the door were filled with envy when they saw the handsome man and beautiful woman standing beside the car. The ones who came to pick up the babies today were their parents.
Ling Sheng looked at the three babies who had run over and smiled at Mr. Jun. Her eyes were filled with sweet happiness.
