"But, Sister Yan Yan said that you should call me Little Uncle. Look."
The little bean was fiddling with his chubby little fingers as he solemnly looked at Nao Nao, who was half a head taller than him.
"My Big Brother, you call him Big Uncle. My Second Sister, you call her Second Aunt. My Third Sister, you call her Third Aunt. That makes me your Little Uncle!"
Naonnao frowned. "What's your name?"
"Little bean."
"Big name."
"Lingxiao."
"Okay, Lingxiao. I'll call you that from now on. I'm Gu Yao. You can call me that. That's it. If you don't agree, you'll sleep on the floor tonight."
Nao Nao crossed its arms and put on a threatening face.
The little bean swallowed his saliva and said timidly,
"Mommy said that I'll have a stomachache if I sleep on the floor."
"Sleep." There weren't many people his age who could talk to Naonnao. He was more tolerant of girls, but he couldn't be bothered with boys. After saying this, he climbed onto the bed and crawled under the blankets.
"Naonnao …"
The little bean's voice sounded beside him. It was soft and gentle, with a hint of fear. "I'm afraid of the dark. Can I sleep with the lights on?"
"No, I can't sleep with the lights on."
Naonnao's dull voice sounded from under the blankets.
After a moment of silence, the little bean's voice sounded again. "Naonnao, I'm really afraid of the dark. I can't sleep …"
Naonnao lifted the blankets impatiently. In the dark, he saw that the little guy was still sitting beside him. He didn't lie down and blinked at him, not at all afraid of the dark.
"Is this what you look like when you're afraid of the dark? Why would a man be afraid of the dark? "
"I'm really afraid."
"Can you be quieter?"
"I like to talk when I'm afraid of the dark."
Naonnao was speechless. He glared at him and said, "Then what do you want? How do you sleep at home? "
"I slept in the same bed as my third sister. My third sister would tell me stories and then pat my shoulder to coax me to sleep."
"Then go find your third sister."
"But Third Sister is in the same room as Second Sister today. I'm afraid that Second Sister …"
"Enough …"
Naonnao gritted his teeth and looked like he had reached the limit of his patience. He lifted the quilt and turned on the light. He glared at the little guy in front of him and almost kicked him down.
After looking at each other for a long time, her big round eyes landed on his shoulder. "Naonnao, your pajamas are so pretty."
It was a pink Hello Kitty. Ye Huanyan had bought it for him. She was really his mother.
In the end, Naonnao had no choice but to lift his quilt and let the little guy crawl in. He kept patting his shoulder and waited for him to fall asleep before he turned off the light. He yawned and leaned on his shoulder to sleep.
In the middle of the night, Ye Huanyan put on a jacket and looked around. The two children were sleeping soundly. Of the two quilts that she had prepared, only one was left. It was crooked and covered her son's body. Little Bean's belly was exposed. She quickly picked up the quilt and covered him.
Her son had been strong since he was young. She didn't know if he bullied others.
At midnight, they started to set off firecrackers to welcome the God of Wealth. The sound of firecrackers didn't stop for the rest of the night. The house had good sound insulation, but it couldn't withstand the bombardment outside. No one slept well the whole night. There were many people who talked the whole night.
Ling Dongyu originally wanted to improve his status in the family. In the end, he waited in his room until midnight. When he was woken up by the sound of firecrackers, he realized that his wife wasn't back yet.
Chris carried a bunch of snacks and went straight to Fu Yingxiang's room. He chatted with her until midnight.
Ling Dongyu was furious. His status in the family was already low. Now that he had a future daughter-in-law who had a higher status than him, how could he let this go? So, he put on a jacket and angrily knocked on the door. He forcefully dragged his wife back into the house.
When he left, Chris still looked like he wanted to continue.
"Hey, it's that beauty salon. I've used two of them. They're the popular ones on the market. But the effect isn't very good. They're very average. Do you want to use them?"
"I don't use those. I rarely use them. I mainly focus on fitness."
"Okay, let's go. I'll teach you fitness when we get back. I promise you'll look ten years younger."
After closing the door, Fu Yingxiang breathed a sigh of relief. She turned around and looked at the closet. It hadn't moved for a few hours.
Did he suffocate to death?
She quickly ran over and opened the closet door. There was a burst of laughter from inside.
"You're still laughing." She frowned and rebuked.
"I was scared to death. I told you not to look for me tonight, but you insisted on coming. Fortunately, your father took your mother away. Otherwise, you'd have to stay in the closet until tomorrow morning."
Ling Zhan came out from the pile of clothes. The moment he got out of the closet, he pulled Fu Yingxiang into his arms.
"Look, nothing happened. My mother likes you very much."
"That's right. You almost became my sworn sister."
Fu Yingxiang was a little helpless.
Chris was only five years older than her. He really couldn't call her 'mother'.
It was not easy to ignore the issue of age.
Ling Zhan nestled on her shoulder and rubbed her face. He looked like he was ready to do something. She held his restless hands. "What?"
"Good sister, let's continue."
"Continue what?"
"Continue what we were doing just now."
"I'm tired. Go back to sleep."
Fu Yingxiang blushed. "Don't push your luck."
"You smell so good."
Ling Zhan twirled his fingers around her hair. His voice was gentle and husky, tinged with lust.
The young man had opened the floodgates, but once he opened the floodgates, he couldn't stop. He was unstoppable.
Amid the sound of firecrackers, the old house was filled with joy.
Ji Xiaoyue and Gu Sinian's wedding was scheduled for after the New Year. After the New Year, the couple had to return to Los Angeles to prepare.
The original plan was to go through the traditional process on the wedding day. They would pick up Ji Xiaoyue from her hometown and fly straight to the Four Seasons Villa. However, with the appearance of such a child, the plan was no longer safe. Thus, they decided to directly take the route from a villa in Los Angeles to the Four Seasons Villa.
When it came to the wedding, Wen Yi was overjoyed. Before the New Year, she had been talking about the various wedding preparations.
The Four Seasons Villa hadn't held a happy event for many years. Her son had found his lifelong happiness and was about to become a father. Wasn't this a double blessing?
On the morning of the first day of the New Year, the second young mistress of West Court sat at the main table. Beside her sat Gu Heng and his wife, and on the other side sat her son and daughter-in-law. Below them stood a large family. One by one, they came forward to give their New Year's greetings and red packets.
The younger generation laughed and laughed for a while, holding a lot of red packets and thinking about how to spend them. The second young mistress' hair was already white. She looked at the family of children and grandchildren with a loving expression. Suddenly, she waved in the direction of Ye Huanyan.
"Come, come here."
In the past few years, the second young mistress of West Court's health had been deteriorating. There were problems with her ears and eyes, and her consciousness was also intermittent. Sometimes, she would call her son Chris, and other times, she would call her grandson Ling Dongyu. The family also followed her wishes and never objected.
