Take a Sip of Milk to Calm My Nerves, the Whole Family is Waiting for Me to Save Them – Chapter 53

Ch 53: To Please

Yun Jinglan originally thought that a group of children in the yard would be very noisy, but she never expected that the children now would be so easy to take care of.

Even Chou Chou, who is usually talkative, has quieted down.

When Princess Funing was sent over, the Empress had already instructed Wan Fang that as long as the Princess was not harmed, everything should be kept simple, and she should be treated as an ordinary child in the Marquis Mansion.

So she turned a blind eye to how the little ones played together.

More accurately, Lu Diandian was the only one playing.

Chou Chou and Funing could only roll over, while Wang Xinyu was completely immersed in her own world and did not communicate with others. Only Lu Diandian was climbing up and down, twisting and turning non-stop.

She originally wanted to grab another Big Goose and circle it for Chou Chou and Princess Funing to play with, but she was stopped by Wet Nurse Wang from the kitchen, who grabbed her collar and dragged her back. She had no choice but to tease them with a cloth tiger doll.

Although Funing was serious, she still got along well with the children and even knew how to cooperate by fiddling with her hands.

Wan Fang was so moved that she almost cried.

Wuwuwu, our Princess knows how to play with cloth tigers!

Chou Chou doesn’t like tigers, but Aunt Dongxiao only sews cloth tigers. They are all felines, but Chou Chou doesn’t like them.

How could anyone like cats? No one comes to Chou Chou’s rescue when they bang on Chou Chou’s head!

She pouted and waved hard…

“Whoosh!”

The cloth tiger was thrown at Yun Jinglan’s feet.

Yun Jinglan, who was looking at the account book, said to Lu Diandian, “Little Dot, Chou Chou doesn’t like cloth tigers. Get her the chubby fish next to her to play with.”

Lu Diandian obediently exchanged a cloth doll and stuffed it into Chou Chou’s arms.

Yun Jinglan had a smile on her lips, but her eyes were involuntarily attracted by the quiet girl sitting there.

The slender little girl didn’t look bloated even in cotton clothes, unlike the three next to her who were as round as balls.

The girl was gentle and beautiful, as quiet as a porcelain doll.

At first, she thought that Wang Xinyu was a bit withdrawn, but after getting along with her, she realized how well-behaved this child was. So well-behaved that it made people feel sorry for her.

Yun Jinglan had a kind smile on her face. The well-behaved little girls were pleasing to the eye!

Qiu Yue hurried closer to Yun Jinglan, with a smile in her voice: “Madam, Second Master is here.”

Yun Jinglan paused, “Why is he here?”

Qiu Yue pursed her lips and covered them with a handkerchief: “Second Master also brought two rattle drums.”

“He’s here for our Chou Chou.” Yun Jinglan hooked her lips, “Let him in.”

Four children… let’s see how he divides those two rattle drums.

Su Changxu regretted it as soon as he crossed the gate of Jingxin Yuan. He was really grasping at straws and actually believed his Eldest Brother’s words and ran to Chou Chou, that Little Dot, to solve his problems.

He admitted that Chou Chou was a little cute and a little lucky, but she couldn’t be used as a Koi Turning Luck!

Su Changxu was about to leave when Qiu Yue, who came out of the inner room, stopped him, “Second Master, my Madam invites you in.”

He was one step too late, and now it was too late for him to leave.

He didn’t know what children liked, but he only remembered that his adopted daughter liked to play with rattle drums when she was a child, so he brought two rattle drums to coax Chou Chou.

But he didn’t expect that there would be so many children here!

Su Changxu greeted Yun Jinglan awkwardly: “Eldest Sister-in-Law.”

Yun Jinglan nodded, pretending not to guess what he was here for, “Second Brother, is there anything you need today?”

Su Changxu glanced at Chou Chou, even more embarrassed. He stood there uncomfortably, and laughed dryly: “Just came to see Chou Chou?”

Hearing her name, Chou Chou cast a curious little look, 【Mo, what do you want from me?】

Princess Funing stopped and looked at Su Changxu while lying on the cloth tiger.

Seeing that the two little sisters were no longer playing with her, Lu Diandian pounced on Wang Xinyu’s back, hugged the older sister’s neck, and also looked at Su Wenqi.

Wang Xinyu didn’t even move, letting Lu Diandian lie on her body, but she had a subtle feeling in her heart.

This child is so annoying, even more annoying than those two lying down. But they have no malice, um, when can I go home…

Since he was here to see Chou Chou, Yun Jinglan didn’t bother him, “I still have account books to look at here, Second Brother, please make yourself at home.”

Chou Chou is just lying there, she won’t run away, do as you please.

Su Changxu walked over with a stiff face, his scalp tingling from the gazes of three pairs of eyes. He slowly squatted in front of Chou Chou, wanting to reach out and hug her, but he didn’t know how to start.

◈◈◈

“Um, how do I hug her?” Su Changxu remembered that Madam had asked him to hug the child when his adopted daughter first came to the Mansion.

Hold her waist and support her back.

But…

“Where is the waist?”

A round ball, so fat that she has no waist or butt, how can I hug her?

Can I lift her up?

Chou Chou was frightened by his stare, and she stared at her Second Uncle warily: 【Back! Back! Back!】

Su Changxu was stopped by Dongxiao as soon as he reached out. Dongxiao, who was in sync with Chou Chou’s brain circuits, was very puzzled: “Second Master, do you know how to hold a child?”

Su Changxu said uncertainly: “I think so.”

Dongxiao: “Then you don’t.”

Su Changxu: “……”

【Am I some unimportant toy?】

She is her parents’ treasure, not her Second Uncle’s burden of a niece.

【Little babies are not for playing with. Second Uncle, have some self-respect!】

Chou Chou pouted with a depressed look on her face. Wasn’t her Second Uncle feeling sad in his own courtyard? Why did he run to her house?

Although no one said he couldn’t hug Chou Chou, everyone in the room warned him with their eyes not to hug Chou Chou casually.

It’s quite embarrassing…

He handed the rattle drum in his hand to Chou Chou, “Want to play?”

Chou Chou frowned tightly: 【Do you think I know how to play with it?】

Su Changxu seemed to realize it and retracted his hand, shaking the rattle drum awkwardly, making a muffled sound. Chou Chou couldn’t help but be attracted by the sight, and even Princess Funing looked over.

Wang Xinyu suddenly reached out to Su Wenqi.

Su Changxu looked at the rough little hand stretched out in front of him, met the little girl’s dark eyes, and involuntarily handed her another rattle drum.

After Wang Xinyu got the rattle drum, she didn’t play with it herself, but handed it directly to Lu Diandian, who was lying on her.

Lu Diandian was happy: “I like Elder Sister!”

Although Wang Xinyu didn’t speak, one could feel the joy suddenly overflowing from her.

Yun Jinglan had been paying attention to the situation over there and was quite surprised. Wang Xinyu’s reaction seemed to be much greater than before!

Su Changxu felt that he had not brought the rattle drum in vain.

“Sure enough, children like rattle drums.” He approached Chou Chou, smiled softly, “Your Sister Que’er also likes rattle drums. You haven’t met your Sister Que’er yet, she is very beautiful. Fair and thin, and tall. Your Second Aunt said she wanted to marry her to the youngest son of Master Song’s family, tsk, that little fatty…”

Su Changxu began to dislike others as he spoke, but he suddenly remembered that his wife and children were gone.

Just transfer luck!

He began to flatter Chou Chou: “Chou Chou is also cute, short and chubby. How about Second Uncle take you to find Sister Que’er?”

Chou Chou’s eyes widened, with an unbelievable look on her face.

【Short and chubby?!】

【Who is short? Do you know how long Chou Chou’s legs are! I just haven’t developed yet!】

【Ahhh! I’m not fat, I’m just plump!】

【Clumsy Second Uncle! Two-timing Second Uncle!】
