“You haven’t changed your way of thinking for so many years. Whenever you like someone, everything about them is good to you. If you don’t like someone, you don’t like anything about them.” Xu Pei was skeptical about his lover’s praise of Su Wen.
Zhou Yan was more emotional than rational. She often made mistakes in the past.
“I’m serious this time.”
“Yes, yes, yes. When have you not been serious?”
“Alright then! You’ll know when you see it.” Zhou Yan believed that seeing was believing. Anyway, there would be plenty of opportunities for them to meet in the future. At that time, everyone would be so shocked that their eyeballs would fall out.
As the two of them were talking, the staff of the publishing house came in with Little sister.
“Little Aunt, I’m back.”
“Where is your Big brother Hengguang? Why did he send you here?”
“Big brother Hengguang still has something to do. He left after sending me to the door.” The little girl put her small bag on the sofa and smiled sweetly at Xu Pei. “Hello, Little Uncle.”
“Sigh! Hello, little sister.” Xu Pei liked the two little guests at home very much. He only had one son, Xu Xiaoxiao, and no daughter. Initially, he didn’t think much of it, but now that there were two little girls in the house, it immediately became much livelier.
Xu Pei only felt that the house was much livelier than usual during this period of time. There was a lot of laughter at home, and even the nanny had become more talkative.
Now that he saw Little sister, he waved at her. “Come here, let Little Uncle hug you.”
“Good!” Little sister ran over happily and hugged Xu Pei. At first glance, the two of them really looked like father and daughter.
Xu Pei hugged Little sister and spun her around before reluctantly putting her down.
Zhou Yan put down the pen in her hand and chuckled. “You two are so close. Why don’t you acknowledge Little sister as your goddaughter?”
“This is a good idea.” Xu Pei’s eyes lit up.” Can I? Is it appropriate?”
“How is it inappropriate? I think it’s very suitable.” Zhou Yan thought to herself, ‘One is my child bride, and the other is my goddaughter. I’m so happy.’
He turned to Little sister, “Little sister, are you willing to be my goddaughter? After you become my goddaughter, you’ll have a new father. Your new mother will love you and buy you new clothes every year!”
In the countryside, the concept of having godmothers and goddaughters is relatively common. Some children were born in poor health and often fell ill. According to the custom, they would recognize a tree as their godmother or godfather. It was believed that in this way, the children would be easier to raise.
In the future, the child would also go to see the tree often.
Little sister had heard of such a custom before, so she didn’t find the terms unfamiliar.
“I know. You guys were good to me when I was young. When I grow up, I’ll be good to you guys and support you guys in your old age.” The little girl smiled adorably.
Xu Pei and Zhou Yan looked at each other. Their love for Little sister deepened further.
The relationship between people was developed from getting along with each other. There were so many relatives at home, and there were also many children who came to visit. Why should they only treat Little sister well and want to acknowledge her as their goddaughter?
Everything happened for a reason.
Xu Pei was a relatively stoic person, but Little sister was never afraid of him. Every time, she would greet Xu Pei with a cute face and a smile.
She would also often go and talk to Xu Pei. The two of them could talk for a long time.
Whenever Little sister was bullied by Sixth sister, she would come to Xu Pei for justice. Naturally, Xu Pei paid more attention to Little sister. After listening to Little sister’s words, he was even more overjoyed.
He was very gratified. Not only was Little sister cute, but she was also very filial!
