Wife is Fierce, Don't Mess With Her! - Chapter 824
Chapter 824: Gu Xiaobao and Gu Xiaobei (2)
Ever since that incident, Gu Xiaobao started caring more about Gu Xiaobei.
He started attending the class for the older age group in the kindergarten and there were more things to learn. His younger sister was slowly growing up as well.
Gu Xiaobei started growing up into a more likable baby and started crawling around more quickly.
As she got older, Gu Qingjiu could no longer stay home to take care of the siblings.
Since she had her assignments, she left Gu Xiaobei to both Hilda and Gu Xiaobao.
Although Gu Xiaobao was a child too, he loved and cared for his younger sister.
When Gu Qingjiu left, Gu Xiaobei hadn’t spoken her first words yet. In front of Hilda, Gu Xiaobao said in a grave tone to the one-year-old, “Xiaobei, you’re my treasure. The two heartless people don’t want us anymore. You only have your older brother. You have to remember that I’m the only one who treats you well in this entire world, which is why your first words must be ‘brother’!”
Hilda was speechless.
Gu Xiaobao was adamant about what Gu Xiaobei’s first words should be.
With their parents absent, it was his best chance.
Gu Qingjiu left during the weaning period. Perhaps due to the lack of familiar people, Gu Xiaobei was throwing more tantrums than usual.
And cried more than usual.
But when she got tired after crying, she still drank the milk powder formula.
She used to sleep obediently after feeding, but now, she would still have a temper after eating and would frequently wake up crying in the middle of the night.
She probably knew about her mother leaving and was upset about it.
Gu Xiaobao originally wanted to sleep in the same room as Gu Xiaobei but seeing that Gu Xiaobei often cried in the middle of the night, Hilda decided against letting them sleep together.
Gu Xiaobao had to go to school during the day so if he wasn’t well-rested, he wouldn’t have the energy for his classes.
Gu Xiaobei was born during the hot summer. Her first birthday would naturally fall in summer.
But no one knew why Gu Xiaobei had yet to speak her first word.
A one-year-old child should’ve been able to not only walk but also call out to people.
Gu Xiaobei refused to call out to anyone. She started learning how to walk, trotting behind people for walks. If a person didn’t pay her any attention, Gu Xiaobao would easily walk off on her own while holding onto something else.
As the most adored princess of the royal family, Gu Xiaobei was doted on by many.
There were a bunch of people who would play with her every day, but she liked her older brother the most.
Every day after his kindergarten, Gu Xiaobao would bring Gu Xiaobei to the royal gardens to play and coax her in a grave tone. “Xiaobei, you’re already so big. It’s time for you to call me older brother. Repeat after me, ‘older brother’!”
To make it easier for her, Gu Xiaobao even said it in Chinese.
Similar to him, Gu Xiaobei received education in both languages. Mom would talk in Chinese while Dad’s family would speak in English.
Upon hearing that, Gu Xiaobei blinked and her long lashes fluttered. Her two eyes twinkled like gemstones. Her smile widened, revealing the new baby teeth, looking especially delighted.
But she just wouldn’t say it.
Gu Xiaobao found it funny and frustrating at the same time.
Caressing his younger sister’s cheeks, he had no idea what he should say. “Gu Xiaobei, all you know is to act cute. Is it so difficult for you to call me older brother?”
He was also a child but acted like an adult with the placating tone he used.
