There were fruits in the fridge back home.
âThereâs none at home.â
Yan Huan was certain.
âWe do have some.â Lu Yi interrupted Yan Huan. âDonât we still have two scallions?â
Yan Huan was dumbfounded.
âI donât want to eat that.â Xunxun pouted.
âFine. Letâs not eat that.â Lu Yi gently stroked his daughterâs cheeks. âDaddy will buy apples for Xunxun, okay?â
âYes!â Xunxun put on a sweet grin as she looked at her father. Yan Huan was immediately triggered. This pair of father and daughter were certainly here to make her life difficult.
âLetâs go,â Lu Yi extended another hand to hold Yan Huanâs hand tight. He had to cheer Yan Huan up as well. Otherwise, he would be treated with her cold shoulder for the next few days.
Yan Huan definitely could not stay angry at them for long. Once Xunxun flashed a cute smile at Yan Huan, all her displeasure was immediately dismissed. She would willingly eat a raw onion for Xunxun.
He Yibin was waiting for them when they arrived at the hospital. He repeatedly glanced at his watch, anxiously anticipating their arrival. When are they going to arrive? Itâs almost time! He Yibinâs patience was wearing thin.
Luckily, they arrived about 10 minutes later.
âXunxun, come here. Come to uncle.â He extended his arms to welcome Xunxun.
Xunxun obediently reached out and received He Yibinâs hug. He Yibin lifted the girl up. As Xunxun grew, she had learned to recognize faces. She would not allow just anyone to carry her. Therefore, it was a great deal for He Yibin to be able to carry the little princess of the Lu family. Save her family members, Xunxun shared the most time with He Yibin.
He was lucky to be able to get so close with this girl. Otherwise, it was impossible for him to carry her.
He Yibin sat Xunxun down. The girlâs pearl white teeth were surrounded by a pair of rosy red lips. Her puffy cheeks, coupled with her plump limbs, perfectly showcased her chubbiness. Now, she looked much healthier than before.
âIt looks like someone has been eating well.â He Yibin lifted Xunxun up again, suspecting this girl had gained a little weight. However, in comparison to her two brothers, she was slightly shorter. Two boys of the triplets have inherited the good genes from the Lu family, looking very handsome. Meanwhile, Xunxun seemingly is going to take after her mom and grow to become a shorty.
If Yan Huan found out that He Yibin called her a shorty despite her 163cm height, she would probably burst into tears, or never allow him to meet Xunxun again.
âLet uncle check your wound.â He Yibin wanted to carefully remove the bandage around Xunxunâs head, but Xunxun did not allow him to do so. With her tiny hands, she protected her forehead.
No matter how hard he tried to persuade her, she refused to let go.
Defeated, He Yibin looked at Lu Yi and his wife. His message was clear.
Sheâs your daughter. Youâll have to deal with her.
âBaby, come here. Daddy will carry you.â
Lu Yi carried his daughter in his arms, allowing her to nestle in his embrace. Xunxun buried her face in her fatherâs chest, not wanting to utter a word. It seemed like she was upset.
âBaby, you donât want anyone to touch you?â
Lu Yi asked his daughter. Whenever he had something important to say to Xunxun, he would call her âbabyâ. This had eventually become their little secret.
Xunxun opened her eyes and pouted.
âMommy said no one should touch it, or Iâll become an ugly girl.â
âDonât worry.â Lu Yi stroked across his daughterâs tiny forehead. âBelieve in daddy. I promise you that youâll not turn ugly. Our Xunxun is the most beautiful girl in the world. Mommy didnât allow Xunxun to touch it because Xunxun was in pain. But, it doesnât hurt anymore, right?â
Xunxun shook her head. âNo, it doesnât.â
However, she was still grabbing her forehead as she turned to gaze at her mom with her big round eyes.
Yan Huan knelt down beside her daughter and gently removed her hands from her forehead. This girl still feels insecure.
âBaby, we have to trust daddy.â
Xunxun looked at her mom before she turned to gaze at her dad. Then, she grabbed her dadâs sleeve. Although it seemed like she was still slightly reluctant, she had already braved herself.
Then, He Yibin gently removed the bandage around Xunxunâs head.
âHmm⦠the wound is healing well. She doesnât need to wear a bandage anymore.â
âWill it leave a scar?â Now, Lu Yi was able to take a good look at his daughterâs wound. He was not there when the incident happened. Therefore, he did not know how bad the wound was. Now that her wound was revealed, only he saw how severe her injury was. The two-inch-long wound was seen on her forehead. Even though it was not swollen or red, it appeared terrifying on a young girl like Xunxun.
âMost probably not.â He Yibin rose to his feet before he carefully dressed Xunxunâs wound. Meanwhile, Xunxun stared at He Yibin with her big round eyes, wondering what he was doing. Yet, she could not see what was happening on her forehead.
He Yibin continued, âDonât worry. Your kid has healed really well and itâs unlikely for her to get a scar. When the wound has completely healed, it will probably leave only a thin red line. As she grows, the red mark will eventually disappear. Remember to never let her scratch the wound. It might start to itch when itâs healing. She can withstand pain, but she might not be able to endure the itchiness.â
Even an adult might not be able to handle the itchiness, let alone a toddler.
âI understand.â Lu Yi received his daughter. We will need to cut her a bang to hide her wound.
When they exited the hospital, they ran into Ye Jianguo. The moment Ye Jianguo saw them, the smile on his face turned into a sneer. Eyes full of menace and hostility, he glared at them.
Yan Huan had never seen such a shameless person before. This old man was a peer to Old Master Lu! No matter how much Old Master Lu despised Yan Huan, he refused to take another glance at Yan Huan, but he had never attacked a woman or a child.
Every human must at least know how to tell the difference between right and wrong. Yet, Ye Jianguo had zero conscience. For Sun Yuhan, he completely disregarded his moral senses.
Xunxun was playing with her fingers. When she realized her father had stopped moving forward, she looked up curiously. When she saw Ye Jianguo in front of them, her smile immediately faded away.
âBad guy.â The words escaped her mouth.
Lu Yi buried his daughterâs face into his chest.
âLetâs go.â He told Yan Huan. Back then, no matter what Ye Jianguo had done, he would still call him grandpa.. However, he could no longer do it anymore.
