When An Xiaxia was called away by Su Xiaomo, Sheng Yize declared his territory in a low voice. Shes my wife now.

An Yibei adjusted his glasses. And shes my sister. Take good care of her. Cherish her and dont let her down.

He made his point with those succinct words.

Sheng Yize smiled. I will.

He then turned around and strode off to look for An Xiaxia, leaving An Yibei behind, sighing to himself.

It was a mix of regret and relief.

Papa An chuckled. Xiaxias babies are almost a year old. When am I going to see you with a girlfriend?

An Yibei snorted. Whats the rush? Im in no hurry.

Si Bai happened to walk past them at that moment. Hearing their conversation, he asked in a quizzical tone, Uncle, do you still not have a girlfriend?

An Yibei was speechless.

Poor you! Si Bai looked at him sympathetically.

Since when am I your uncle? An Yibei said in a chilly voice. Go play somewhere else, you brat!

Scratching his head, Si Bai politely bid him farewell. Ill go feed my wife, then. Bye!

An Yibei smacked his forehead and darted a glance at Papa An, only to find the latter smiling brightly.

Yibei, its time to put some effort into it!

Si Bai put a milk bottle in Pepsis hands, then took a bigger one himself. He then sat down beside her and drank his milk.

Pepsi looked around curiously. She shrieked in excitement after spotting some balloons.

Si Bai gave it a glance, then said in a self-important manner that reminded one of a senior citizen, Thats for babies!

Pepsi whimpered. Wasnt she a baby now?!

Dont cry! Ill go get one for you! Si Bai, the little henpecked husband, went to fetch his wife a balloon right away.

However, they were too high up for him to reach.

Why, isnt it Si Bai? Now, call me daddy and Ill get one for you! Qi Yanxi sauntered over to his side at that moment and teased the boy.

Si Bai pursed his lips. I have a father already.

You never know when youll need an extra! Qi Yanxi rubbed his head.

Si Bai refused him earnestly after some consideration.

I dont think youre suitable for that.

That was like a little dagger stabbing into Qi Yanxis chest.

What makes you say that? Huh?! Qi Yanxi bristled and went berserk as he squeezed Si Bais cheeks.

Si Bai sighed. Because youre so childish.

Qi Yanxi was speechless.

Brushing off Qi Yanxis hand, Si Bai offered weighty advice. Uncle, its time to grow up.

Qi Yanxi froze on the spot.

Sheng Yize happened to walk past him at the moment and Si Bai ran happily to his side. Father-in-law, can you get me a balloon? I want to give it to Pepsi

Sheng Yize give it some thought, then said decisively, No.

Si Bai was defeated and asked in disappointment, But why?

Sheng Yize said calmly, Itll sap her of her will to make progress.

But

No buts! Youre not playing with Pepsi! Sheng Yize scolded with a stern look on his face.

His little Pepsi was the apple of his eye; there was no way he would let this Si Bai boy take her away just like that!

Si Bais next question was quite incisive. Father-in-law, are you trying to take Pepsi away from me?

Were kids nowadays all this precocious?

Sheng Yize cleared his throat and said, No, this is for your own good. You need to study hard and make a good living, alright?

Father-in-law, you make such a good point! Si Bai said with admiration.

Sheng Yize was satisfied by this reaction. So do you know what to do now?

Go back to nursery school, brat!

Si Bai nodded repeatedly like a chicken pecking rice. Yes! Im going to make a lot of money and buy Pepsi a lot of balloons!
