Su Hongxing couldnât bear to refuse, so she handled the discharge procedures for Ye Qilan, and together they headed to Qingmu Garden.
Early in the morning, Little Pudding heard that Mom and Dad were coming home and excitedly waited with the stroller at the entrance of Qingmu Garden.
Seeing Little Pudding guarding the stroller, Su Hongxing felt both gratified and apologetic towards the child. Little Pudding was truly obedient and sensible, only occasionally displaying a bit of a little girlâs temper, but otherwise she never caused any worry.
âMommy!â Little Pudding saw Su Hongxing getting off the car and ran forward excitedly, hugging Su Hongxingâs neck and kissing her repeatedly on the face: âMommy, Mommy, I love you so much.â
Experiencing the little oneâs enthusiasm, Su Hongxing kissed the child on the cheek and said, âDaddyâs back too, and he really missed you. But Daddyâs hurt, so you canât dive into Daddyâs arms like that.â
Just as Ye Qilan got out of the car, Little Pudding saw him and rushed over excitedly. She was about to dive into Ye Qilanâs arms but remembered what Su Hongxing said and hesitated slightly, âDoes Daddyâs injury still hurt?â
Ye Qilan wanted to squat down, but Su Hongxing quickly stopped him.
She lifted Little Pudding so Little Pudding could look at Ye Qilan face-to-face.
Ye Qilan kissed Little Pudding on her chubby doll-like cheek, his eyes turned red upon seeing her.
âDaddy, donât cry.â Little Pudding wiped Ye Qilanâs eyes.
Ye Qilan chuckled, âDaddyâs not crying! Daddyâs just happy to see our little Princess.â
âIâm so happy to see Daddy too!â Little Pudding gave Ye Qilan two strong kisses on the face.
Ye Qilan took Little Pudding from Su Hongxingâs arms and weighed her a bit: âYouâve gotten heavier.â
Little Pudding replied innocently, âI just ate two baozi, some fruit, some snacks, andâ¦â
âOkay, okay, youâre such an eater, stop counting.â Su Hongxing took Little Pudding away, set her down, and picked up her son to show Ye Qilan: âHow about it, doesnât this little guy look great?â
Ye Qilan looked at his son smiling at him with squinting eyes, and laughed: âHas he gotten this big already?â
Su Hongxingâs gaze softened: âThis little guy is very obedient, doesnât cause any trouble, and is not shy around strangers. Every day itâs just eat and sleep, sleep and eat, very easy to take care of.â
Looking at the drooling Little Baozi and then at Su Hongxing, Ye Qilan suddenly felt that life like this, what more could one ask for.
Seeing Ye Qilan spacing out, Su Hongxing gently tugged his sleeve: âCome on, letâs go home.â
Ye Qilan nodded: âAlright, letâs go home.â
Su Hongxing carried Little Baozi, while Ye Qilan held Little Puddingâs hand, and the family of four entered Qingmu Garden.
Grandma Jiang had been waiting in the living room, and upon seeing Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing return, she said, âAs long as youâre okay. In these days while you were away, Little Pudding was very obedient, didnât fuss at all.â
As for Little Baozi, he was just like before, eating and sleeping, itâs her first time taking care of such a well-behaved child.
âGrandma, thank you for your hard work these days,â Su Hongxing said sincerely.
âSince you know how hard I worked, you two should take care of yourselves in the future,â Grandma Jiang said before heading to the kitchen to busily prepare dinner.
Watching her, Su Hongxing thought they really needed to hire a maid this time, but the person must be carefully selected to avoid being taken advantage of again.
When it was time to rest, Ye Qilan refused to sleep; even after both children were asleep, he still didnât want to return to the bedroom.
Su Hongxing went with Ye Qilan to the master bedroom, deciding to have a good talk with him.
