Chapter 4024: A Perfect Match (220)
The man was highly amused. It wasn’t as though he did it on purpose. He immediately bent over to kiss the child.
Yueyao was so angry that she slapped his face. Her little paws scratched at him.
Everyone laughed until they were swaying back and forth. They rushed forward in a flurry to coax the little princess, each of them fighting to carry her.
Even though he was covered in dirty shoe prints from Yueyao’s kicks, Gong Jie couldn’t bear to hand the little princess over to someone else, especially when Hua Jin came to pick her up. He glared back at him.
Youyou stood by the side watching all of this in silence. In the past, he was extremely unaccustomed to such noisy scenes. He liked it quiet. However, after returning to the Mu family residence, not only did he get used to it, he also fully accepted and became part of such an environment. It was as though a family was only warm enough if it made enough noise. But none of this belonged to him.
Youyou whispered to himself, give me a few more days.
Give me a few more days and I’ll give you back everything that’s yours.
Yun Shishi took the baby from her brother’s arms and waited for the little princess to be pacified. Soon, the girl stopped crying and making a fuss. She lay quietly against her mother’s shoulder. Her dark eyes and lashes, wet with tears, made her look rather pitiful.
Youyou walked over and stood beside his mother. He glanced up at Yueyao, smiled suddenly, and opened his arms.
“Let Big Brother carry you.”
Yueyao blinked, cringing and reluctant at first. But the boy smiled and reached out to gently pinch her cheek and ruffle her hair.
So there really was telepathy between siblings.
Yueyao and Youyou stared at each other for a long time. Suddenly, she stretched out her hands and her pink lips parted.
“Big Brother carry me!”
Yun Shishi heard her and realized that the boy had been standing behind her, staring at Yueyao for a long time.
She crouched down as the boy came up to take his sister in his arms.
In no time at all, Gong Jie had also changed his clothes and was making his way back downstairs. Yun Shishi and Mu Yazhe took their seats, Youyou carried Yueyao and sat close to his mother.
The family portrait was basically taken every year. But last year, because of Mu Yazhe’s busy schedule at work and the fact that Yun Shishi had taken on a show in the middle of the year, the two of them had constantly clashing schedules and hardly had any free time. This time round, they caught up with each other.
The photograph was taken and available almost immediately. One was enlarged and one was a regular size. The boy attached this to his wish list.
…
The so-called wish list was really very simple and straightforward. For example, Youyou wanted to make up for a missed birthday celebration with Little Yichen. For the birthday party, he wished for a cake personally baked by his mother.
This made Yun Shishi quite sick with worry. Even though she would occasionally cook and bake, she would only stick to baking small cakes. She would feel somewhat guilty to claim she could bake a proper birthday cake.
The night before the birthday party, at 1am, she was still in the kitchen, trying to produce a cake. She had had a few failures. The cake turned out either too hard or not fully cooked because the proportion of ingredients was not well balanced.
At 2am, the fresh cake emerged from the oven a success. Yun Shishi had whipped fresh cream, along with strawberry cream and jam. She was well prepared and had all the materials and tools she needed.
