Yan Su bent down and said to Granny Yan, âThis is Mo Liuxi.â
âOh,â Granny Yan grabbed Yan Suâs hand, âyouâve changed your boyfriend. Good! Your father said that Shi Xiang wasnât a reliable guy. Itâs good that youâve come to your senses.â
Yan Su grimaced.
Mo Liuxi had no intention of chatting with Granny Yan as he was eagerly looking at the baby crib in the corner of the room.
His darling baby girl was in that crib.
He took long strides towards it, but Yan Jin stopped him in his tracks. Although the little guy was short and small, his back was straight and his chest was puffed out. âYou can see Yan Yan, but letâs be clear on one thingâyou canât steal our little princess away!â
Yan Su and Jiang Peiying got nervous upon hearing thatâthey did raise Yan Yan after all. They would be devastated if the childâs father wanted to take her away. They wouldnât know if he would take good care of her either, as the child had grown attached to them.
âUncle, Aunty, please donât misunderstand. I just want to take a look at her,â Mo Liuxi explained. âI know that you both have put a lot of love and care into raising her. I donât have the right to take her away just because I am her father. Although sheâs young, she must have her own thoughts as well. Iâll try to get close to her and win your approval. I know Iâve done too little. Iâve talked it over with Yan Su, and I think itâs fine for the child to keep her surname now. Yan Yan is a good nameâvery sophisticated.ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
He even complimented Jiang Peiying who named the child, and she was relieved. Yan Lv had a pleasant impression of the man too. Although Mo Liuxi was young, he had good sense, and the fact that he was willing to keep Yan Yanâs surname spoke volumes of him. Many men were unreasonable about things like that, and Mo Liuxi seemed a lot more open-minded and generous.
âWeâre just worried about the child,â Jiang Peiying said. âAlthough Yan Yan is small, sheâs really clingy, especially when she wakes up. She will wail and cry if sheâs around unfamiliar faces and canât find the people she knows. I canât take it when children cry.â
Yan Jin pouted, âMa, how come youâre ok with me crying?â
âBecause youâre a boy,â Jiang Peiying shot back at him.
Yan Jin sulked.
Were boys not children too?
Mo Liuxi laughed as he cautiously approached the crib. Little Yan Yan was fast asleep, and her chubby face was pink and rosy. She looked like a baby doll with a serene smile on her faceâshe must have been dreaming of something good.
His heart melted as his hands trembled.
That was his daughter...
He finally understood Nian Juntingâs obsession with having a baby girl.
Yan Yan suddenly opened her eyes and stared at him. Mo Liuxi was a little taken aback before he said softly, âHi, Yan Yan, I am your Papa.â
Yan Yan blinked her big round eyes and started wailing.
Yan Su quickly lifted Yan Yan into her arms. Although it had been a while since she last saw her, they video-called often and they were familiar with each other. Connected by a natural bond, Yan Yan stopped crying instantly in her motherâs arms as she sprawled on Yan Suâs chest.
Mo Liuxi was envious. âSusu, can I carry her?â
Although Yan Su couldnât bear to watch her daughter cry, she still handed her over when Mo Liuxi looked over at her woefully. Before Mo Liuxi could even hold her, Yan Yan burst into tears again.
Mo Liuxi was dejected.
âSheâs scared of strangers. Take it slow,â Yan Su consoled him.
