Chapter 2344: Chapter 2348: Baby
Kids like environments where familiar people are present.
An environment with familiar people gives him a sense of security.
Just now in the hall, he didn’t know anyone, and he felt a bit depressed.
In this side room, he knows everyone, and he’s really happy.
Qiao Jieran, sitting by the door, had the advantage of location and was the first to reach out and scoop him into his arms. "Darling, I haven’t seen you in days, and you’ve gotten more beautiful and even cuter!"
"Really?" Xiao Shumiao giggled, slightly shy, and asked, "Did Xiao Shu grow taller? Uncle Ran?"
"Taller, taller!" Qiao Jieran fibbed with a straight face, while slipping a big red envelope he had prepared into Xiao Shumiao’s hand, "Darling, this is from Uncle Ran. Uncle Ran wishes you a happy and joyful growth, and when you grow up, to be even more impressive than your dad!"
Xiao Shumiao looked back at Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei.
Gu Junzhu nodded, "Take it, then tell him that one is too little, he’s too stingy. For such a big occasion, how can one red envelope be enough? It should be at least ten or eight."
Ye Xingbei secretly pinched him and gave him a glare.
Luckily, Xiao Shumiao knew his dad was joking, so he didn’t really ask Qiao Jieran for ten or eight red envelopes. Instead, he happily accepted the red envelope and said crisply, "Thank you, Uncle Ran."
Everyone came prepared tonight, each with a big red envelope.
Xiao Shumiao couldn’t hold them all, so Qiao Jieran helped him find a pretty little cloth bag to store them in.
After collecting the red envelopes, Xiao Shumiao poured them all on the coffee table and grabbed Lingyue’s hand saying, "Brother Xiaoyue, let’s share them, one for each."
Xiao Shumiao distributed the red envelopes with Lingyue like a child sharing candies, one for him, one for Lingyue.
The ones he got in the morning too, once he got the red envelopes, he split them evenly with Lingyue.
Lingyue didn’t want to take them, so he pouted unhappily until Lingyue nodded in agreement, then he brightened up again.
Seeing him give one to Lingyue first before he took one for himself, Ning Huaijing teased him, "Darling, you’re treating Brother Xiaoyue so well. Have you thought about how your parents feel? You only share your red envelopes with Brother Xiaoyue and not with your mom. Won’t your mom be sad and hide away to cry?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Shumiao tilted his head and looked at him, "All the red envelopes from me and Brother Xiaoyue go to mommy."
He turned his head back, raised his little face to look at Ye Xingbei, "Right, mommy? All the red envelopes from me and Brother Xiaoyue are for you to spend! When Brother Xiaoyue and I grow up, all the money we make will be yours!"
Ye Xingbei: "..."
Son, are you really fond of your Brother Xiaoyue, or are you trying to mess with him?
Giving all your Brother Xiaoyue’s money to mom, will your Brother Xiaoyue’s wife agree?
Kneeling beside Xiao Shumiao, sharing the red envelopes, Lingyue even nodded earnestly in agreement, "Yes, all for our mentor to spend."
Hearing Xiao Shumiao say that all the money he makes in the future will be for her to spend, Ye Xingbei found it amusing but sweet.
Hearing Lingyue say all the money he earns when he grows up will be for her, Ye Xingbei felt an overwhelming warmth.
This child, she hasn’t doted on him in vain.
Even if she knows it’s probably just something kids say, she feels her heart warming up.
She gently touched the heads of the two kids, smiling, "Alright, I’ll wait for it! But you have to study well, learn a lot, and make lots of money for me to spend."
"Of course!" Xiao Shumiao confidently said, "When I grow up, I’ll definitely make more money than Dad and love Mom even more than Dad does!"
