Chapter 193: Chapter 185: Prince Huang’s Silly Laughter 1
In front of outsiders, he seems honest and sincere, but in private, he’s just an old rascal.
Especially since they’ve been apart for more than three months, and just now he saw his daughter and son-in-law getting cozy in the kitchen. If he doesn’t have some wicked thoughts, Bai Sixian’s name would be written backwards.
Shuangshuang is active, likes to be hugged by this person and that person, but doesn’t like being held by the same person for too long; it feels like being unable to move, which is uncomfortable.
So, after being passed around the circle, she fussed and didn’t want to be held anymore and became fixated on the plush toy on the carpet.
Her big eyes stared intently at the plush toy, and her little hands reached out toward it, opening and closing, opening and closing, while softly exclaiming "ah ah..." in eager frustration.
Su Xiaomeng picked up the plush toy and handed it to her. Shuangshuang took it but dropped it before she even got a grip and continued to exclaim.
The carpet on the floor is very soft, usually used for the kids to roll around on and practice sitting up.
"Grandpa, you can put her down, it’s fine."
Bai Fengmao, hearing Su Xiaomeng’s words, placed Shuangshuang on the carpet.
Prince Huang never liked being held much, and seeing Shuangshuang on the ground now, his cool little face also showed a plea.
Su Chengji had no choice but to put the little guy down too.
Once Huanghuang was on the carpet, he supported himself with the sofa and, after struggling a bit, managed to sit up.
Seeing this surprised Bai Fengmao, "Prince Huang can sit already?"
Su Xiaomeng nodded quickly, very proud, "He only just recently learned to sit."
"This Huanghuang is just like my Sixian, with a clever streak."
Bai Fengmao remarked.
Su Xiaomeng quickly glanced at Yin Shixiu and, seeing that he remained silent, couldn’t help but chuckle to herself.
Actually, the first person to discover that Huanghuang could sit was Yin Shixiu. At that time, he excitedly scooped Huanghuang into his arms with pride, saying, "My son is just smart."
Here at Grandpa’s, Prince Huang’s cleverness wasn’t attributed to Yin Shixiu at all, but rather to being inherited from the grandparents!
Yin Shixiu internally disagreed, but naturally, he wouldn’t show it and sour things with Bai Fengmao—he wasn’t foolish.
"But he can’t last long; he’ll soon need to lie down."
Su Xiaomeng said this.
As a result, whether Prince Huang understood it or not was unknown, but you could see his chubby little butt scoot backward, and then he leaned his back against the sofa leg.
His dark eyes looked at Su Xiaomeng.
Su Xiaomeng was startled and quickly averted her gaze, whispering in Yin Shixiu’s ear, "My goodness, did we give birth to Nezha?"
"Hahaha!"
Bai Fengmao laughed heartily, slapping his thigh, "Smart! So smart! Hahaha!"
Even being praised didn’t make Prince Huang happy; he just sat there expressionlessly, a picture of calm composure.
Within Prince Huang’s line of sight, one could see a girl with a completely contrasting style!
Shuangshuang was lying on the carpet, wriggling, neither able to crawl nor sit, her little hands tightly grabbing that plush toy.
Seeing everyone laugh, she also giggled along with them.
Seeing Bai Fengmao being impressed by Prince Huang’s cleverness, she didn’t understand anything. She just imitated and vigorously patted the carpet while laughing.
"Dear, is Shuangshuang silly?"
Su Chengji was so stunned that he unconsciously voiced this question without thinking.
Immediately, he received a glare from Bai Fengmao, "I think you’re the silly one!"
Su Chengji quickly regained his senses and rather awkwardly glanced at Bai Fengmao, "I didn’t mean it that way..."
"Hehe!"
Shuangshuang began to pat the small carpet again, laughing non-stop.
"She’s just like that, a little ruckus."
Yin Shixiu said indulgently.
Su Ma came over when she had a moment, "What’s going on that you’re laughing so happily?"
Shuangshuang hadn’t seen Su Ma for just a moment and was already missing her, sliding eagerly towards her!
But then—
"Careful!"
Su Ma’s eyes were sharp, but even her shout was late, as Shuangshuang’s body lunged forward, her head lifted, and she bumped into the corner of the coffee table.
"Oh no!"
Bai Fengmao’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately picked up Shuangshuang. Su Xiaomeng rushed over to check where her daughter was hurt.
The forehead was a bit red but hadn’t swollen.
Shuangshuang was a bit stunned from the collision, her earlier cheerful expression instantly gone, nose twitching, mouth downturned, about to cry.
Just then...
"Hehe..."
Suddenly, laughter came from Prince Huang’s direction, who was looking at Shuangshuang, his previously expressionless face now beaming with laughter.
"Hehehe..."
Su Xiaomeng bewilderedly turned her gaze to her son sitting by the sofa...
What’s going on?
Obviously, Su Xiaomeng wasn’t the only one stunned.
Yin Shixiu, naturally concerned for Shuangshuang, knew such a small child couldn’t possibly understand what just happened.
But Prince Huang had always been averse to laughing, and now suddenly doing so at such an inopportune time inevitably drew questioning looks from everyone.
He bent down to pick up his son, "Your sister got hurt, and you’re just foolishly laughing, huh?"
"Hehe... Hehehe..."
Yin Shixiu didn’t say anything, but as soon as he did, Prince Huang laughed even more.
Shuangshuang blinked her reddened eyes, the tears pooled in her eyes hadn’t had a chance to fall and just dried up at the corners.
She followed the laughter and looked at her brother. Seeing him laugh happily, she joined in the laughter too...
"Giggle... giggle giggle..."
The two little ones laughed with all they had, leaving behind a group of bewildered adults. Truly, the world of children is beyond understanding.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang had a long nap in the afternoon, so they weren’t sleepy now. At dinner time, they pushed their little baby chairs to the dining table, the two little ones lay together, each holding a milk bottle.
Bai Fengmao looked at Shuangshuang and Huanghuang, the more he looked, the more he liked them.
He picked up a pair of clean chopsticks, dipped them in some mushroom soup, and brought it to Prince Huang’s mouth.
Prince Huang licked it, smacked his lips, and continued holding the milk bottle.
Shuangshuang saw that her brother had something else to eat, she let go of the milk bottle.
"Oh, Shuangshuang wants to drink too! Grandpa will feed you!"
Bai Fengmao said as he dipped the chopsticks in the soup again, but just as he brought it to Shuangshuang’s mouth, Su Chengji said, "Dad, I’m Shuangshuang’s grandpa. You’re the great-grandpa."
As soon as Su Chengji finished speaking, Bai Sixian closed his eyes, in despair.
Bai Fengmao’s face darkened, he looked at Su Chengji, "You think I didn’t know?"
Su Chengji indicated... Since you knew, why did you...
"Hiss..."
Bai Sixian saw he was about to continue arguing, so he pinched him hard under the table.
Su Chengji had no idea where he went wrong, but he knew he must have been wrong, so he quickly said, "Dad, feel free, feel free, you can even call yourself grandma."
Bai Sixian looked to the sky, feeling utterly helpless.
Bai Fengmao’s face naturally darkened another shade.
Yin Shixiu glanced at Su Chengji inconspicuously.
Only Su Xiaomeng chimed in, "As long as grandpa is happy, he can be called anything! Hehe!"
Bai Fengmao felt bitter inside, indicating that it wouldn’t matter what he was called now, he wouldn’t be happy.
He just casually shouted it out, always calling great-grandpa, great-grandpa and it didn’t sound smooth...
Who knew...
All these years passed, this son-in-law still hasn’t gained any insight, reaching a peak of insensitivity!
What exactly did the favorite daughter of his see in him?
Bai Fengmao sat at the top of the long oval table, while Su Chengji sat just below him, with Shuangshuang and Huanghuang’s baby chairs between them.
Su Chengji saw Huanghuang’s lack of expression.
So young, and like a block of wood, he picked up a slice of seasoning lemon and brought it close to Huanghuang’s mouth.
Huanghuang didn’t reject it, opened his mouth, and took a bite.
This bite... was sour and refreshing...
Prince Huang’s brows furrowed so tightly they almost tied into a knot, his eyes were fierce, glaring brightly, followed by a twitch of his head!
"Ahahaha! So funny! Look, it’s just too funny!"
Su Chengji patted the table, laughing uncontrollably.
Bai Fengmao just wanted to start scolding when Su Xiaomeng hurriedly said, "Dad, give him another bite, it’s too funny!"
The words of reproach Bai Fengmao was about to say were swallowed back down.
He just said, "Children shouldn’t eat such stimulating things..."
"It’s okay, really." Su Xiaomeng quickly waved her hand, then said to Bai Fengmao, "When I was six months old, my dad even fed me chili sauce!"
Bai Fengmao’s expression instantaneously froze.
"Meng Meng, eat your meal."
Bai Sixian promptly said.
Yin Shixiu glanced at Su Xiaomeng, feeling a bit worried, then said, "The water and soil in Chengdu are better than in Beijing. It’s not like it was twenty years ago. Especially Beijing, with its severe environmental pollution, it’d be better to be careful with how we feed the children."
Su Xiaomeng pondered over this, then smiled at Yin Shixiu, "Uncle is right, better to be cautious."
Yin Shixiu gave her a piece of fish.
Then Su Xiaomeng pointed to the fish with chopped chili and said to Su Chengji, "Dad, dip a bit of that chopped chili for Huanghuang to taste!"
After dinner, Xiaomeng and Su’s mother cut up some fruit and brought it out.
Shuangshuang and Huanghuang were tired from playing and were a bit sleepy. Yin Shixiu carried the little ones into the room and came out after settling them.
Bai Fengmao glanced at the time, it was almost eight o’clock.
Bai Sixian made a phone call to the family driver to come over and pick his father up.
During this time, Bai Fengmao talked about the New Year’s Day, "With the year-end approaching, Shixiu, bring Xiaomeng and the children to my place for a meal on New Year’s Day."
Bai Fengmao spoke naturally, taking a sip of tea, but saw Yin Shixiu and Su Xiaomeng exchange a glance.
His old eyes narrowed, "What? You don’t want to?"
"No, grandpa..." Su Xiaomeng quickly said, "Well... Mr. Yin called the other day, saying we should bring the kids back to the Yin Family for New Year’s Day."
Bai Fengmao’s eyebrows furrowed, "What? Again letting Yin Shixiu take the kids?"
"No, no, Mr. Yin means... the whole family is welcome."
Su Xiaomeng explained.
Bai Fengmao raised his eyebrows, "What? Have those old folks changed their ways?"
Su Xiaomeng scratched her head, looking apologetically at her grandpa, "Grandpa, I’m so sorry... how about we come over on the second for a meal?"
"This is a small matter, you are welcome anytime. After all, New Year’s Day marks the new year, grandpa just wants to spend it with his granddaughter."
