Now Su Qing was stumped!
After several attempts to persuade him to let go went in vain, Su Qing had no choice but to prise her baby’s fingers apart little by little. Though the second Joy’s pant leg slipped from his fingertips, he pouted and burst out crying.
Everyone in the room was startled by the baby’s sudden outburst of miserable cries. Su Qing coaxed and kissed the baby in her arms, hoping that he could stop crying, but it was not very effective. The baby was not going to cut her some slack as he continued to cry loudly.
His crying was giving Su Qing a headache. She had no experience in coaxing children. She was at a loss as to what to do when she saw a figure stumbling over.
It would be a lie to say that Joy was not startled when he was pestered by a baby all of a sudden, especially when Su Qing had to pull the baby off of him after failing to persuade him to let go, Joy’s whole body had stiffened.
Joy was still in a trance when he heard the baby crying. By the time he pulled his wandering mind back, he saw the baby reach out to him, asking him to hug him with his eyes red. Joy did not know how he could describe his feelings.
Without stopping to think, Joy slid off the sofa and rushed toward the direction of the baby. He took the baby who was still crying into his arms and coaxed him. “Good boy, don’t cry. Mom said a man can’t always cry, or he won’t be able to get a wife in the future.”
Zhao Youlin was speechless. ‘Have I ever said something like that? Why can’t I remember?’
Everyone in the room was still trying to process the sudden incident. They stared open-mouthed at the two children, who were hugging each other tightly.
However, the odd thing was the baby, who would not stop crying no matter how Su Qing tried to coax him, stopped crying not long after Joy held him in his arms. He sniffled and was clutching Joy’s arm like an octopus. Then, he moved his little buttocks little by little to hide behind Joy.
The pair of his big eyes were red and watery. His eyes were full of defensiveness as he gazed at Su Qing, seemingly afraid that Su Qing would once again pull him away from Joy’s side.
Su Qing was speechless. This little brat, she was his real mother! She was the one who had gone through a lot to give birth to him, but in the end, he cared more about a kid that he met not more than twice!
The adults did not expect that such a situation would happen. They burst out in laughter after exchanging glances with each other.
“Oh my god. This is so funny. Why are they so interesting? Su Qing, did you just get rejected by Dudu? I can’t take it anymore. This is so funny.” Su He threw herself into Ye Yan’s arms and laughed so hard. If her belly hadn’t been so big that she had trouble moving, she would have rolled around a few times on the wide sofa, declaring that she was gloating at Su Qing at the moment.
Ye Yan’s face was full of smiles as well, only his attention was more focused on Su He. His hand gently stabilized Su He’s body while his other hand was carefully protecting Su He’s stomach, in case she moved around too much and accidentally hit the baby.
Su Qing had teased Su He over her pregnancy for quite a while earlier, but now she was being mocked by Su He in turn. The tables had turned.
The corner of Su Qing’s mouth twitched. Looking at her son, who was acting defensively against her, Su Qing’s face darkened. Su Qing jumped into the arms of her husband for comfort, like she had been wronged.
Song Yi was very pleased with his wife for throwing herself at him. He smiled and lowered his head to kiss Su Qing on her forehead in front of everyone.
Su Qing was stunned, but instead of being shy, she raised her head and fiercely kissed her husband back. Such an intimate scene had made people who were watching from the side blush.
People who were more thin-skinned, such as An Yue, had turned her head away. She hid her face in Han Yichen’s arms, not daring to watch.
People who were more thick-skinned, such as Zhao Youlin, watched expressionlessly as they French-kissed each other, but if you looked carefully, you would notice that the corner of Zhao Youlin’s eye was twitching.
If they were not embarrassed about doing such a thing outside, would it not mean when they were at home, they would be even more… Ahem… No wonder the Song family was so calm when they learned that the couple had gone on their honeymoon and left their baby behind.
Their family had probably wanted them to get as far away from the house as possible. This couple would have been a bad influence on their kid if the Song family left the kid with them!
Joy did not have time to pay attention to what the adults were doing. His whole attention was centered on the soft little creature in his arms.
Although there were kids at his kindergarten too, most of them were about the same age as him or even older than him. The tiny and soft creature in his arms was unique. When Joy was hugging it, he was afraid that he would break it if he used too much strength.
Dudu, Su Qing’s little cub, had left his parents not long after he was born, but as the eldest son and the eldest grandson of the Song family, all elders and servants in the house carefully doted on this tiny little baby.
Hence, Dudu (Chubby) had become just like his nickname before he was even one year old. He was chubby. People who saw him could not help but want to pinch his cheeks.
Seeing his mother had backed away, Dudu stopped crying. He moved his little butt and crawled out of Joy’s arms. The pair of his big eyes curiously studied Joy. Then, he jumped over again and hugged Joy. He started babbling.
Joy could not understand what the baby was babbling, so he widened his eyes helplessly and looked at his mother for help.
Zhao Youlin chuckled and rubbed her son’s head. She said softly, “I think the baby wants to play with you, Joy. Will you bring him there and play with him?”
Zhao Youlin pointed at the wide-open space on the side where toys were stacked when she said that.
Joy glanced at the toys in the empty space. His eyes lit up a little. He looked down at the baby in his arms and suddenly started babbling, “Gaa gaa…”
The baby titled his head and replied in puzzlement, “Goo goo gaa?”
“Gaa gaa…”
“Goo goo gaa?”
“Gaa goo gaa goo…”
“Goo goo gaa gaa…”
Zhao Youlin and the others were speechless.
Joy frowned when he realized that he and the baby could not communicate using the same language. He finally decided to give up the unrealistic baby language. While gesticulating with his hands, Joy asked tentatively, “Kid, do you want to play over there?”
All the parents in the room finally realized that the jibber-jabber was not just nonsensical quirks between the children, but it was Joy trying to communicate with the baby using the same language. They were impressed!
The little baby, who was sucking this thumb, pondered for a moment and started babbling again. He clutched Joy’s arm tightly, as if he was saying that wherever Joy went, he would go with him.
Joy took the baby’s reaction as a sign that he had agreed with his suggestion. He stood up. Then, he picked up the little baby and walked there..
