The little girl was already incredibly charming, but the combination of her soft, cooing voice and those big innocent, dewy eyes made her even more lovable.
I was just about to lose control and hug her on the spot.
However, just then, a voice from behind me called out, “Ay!”
I turned around and saw a woman coming out of the room, dressed appropriately and radiating a graceful aura. Based on her age and appearance, she must be the girl’s mother.
It seems the little girl was not calling me earlier, but her mother.
“Oh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my sister-in-law, He Xiaohui…”
Ding Yinuo finally introduced her to me.
“Mom!”
After seeing the woman, the little girl ran over to her, sweetly calling out.
The woman picked up the girl and kissed her cheek,
“Sweetie, you play so well.”
“Mom, when can I eat my birthday cake?”
“Just a little longer, sweetie. We’ll have the cake after the candles are blown out!”
My gaze was glued to the little girl’s face, and I couldn’t look away.
Gazing at the happy moment of mother and daughter hugging each other, I couldn’t help but feel envious.
Ding Yinuo gently patted my shoulder.
That’s when I finally met his gaze, “What’s up?”
“Do you like her a lot?”
“She’s adorable!”
Ding Yinuo slightly nodded his head,
“My sister-in-law has been through a lot. After the accident with the girl, she couldn’t handle the strain and collapsed. She has been suffering from depression these past few years, unable to take care of herself, and often trying to commit suicide.”
“I understand. Any mother would be devasted if their child were in an accident. Your older brother must be under a lot of pressure supporting this family.”
Ever since I walked in, I noticed that even though Ding Xiao was sitting on the couch, his gazes were all over his wife and daughter.
Where his daughter was, his gaze was there.
Where his wife was, his attention was there.
When He Xiaohui picked up her daughter, he hurriedly displayed his worry for his daughter,
“Sweetie, you can’t let mommy hold you for too long, her body’s not well. Now let daddy hold you.”
He’s obviously a very responsible man.
“Indeed, Tianjiao Company hasn’t been doing well these years and it’s visibly take a toll on my brother. Fortunately, after seeing her daughter wake up, my sister-in-law’s health has been gradually improving.”
“That’s good to hear!”
The Ding Family has a nice family atmosphere. Ding’s mother takes special care of her eldest daughter-in-law.
In a bit, she brought the medicine over, reminding the daughter-in-law to take her medication and sit down for a rest. She’s shown herself to be quite hospitable towards the guests.
“Xiaosong… do you play Go?”
Ding’s father greeted me.
“Uncle, I only know a bit!”
“Then let’s go for two rounds!”
“Okay!”
Ding’s father is very talkative and adorable. Before each move, he would tell me what he would do three moves later, just to make sure I wouldn’t feel pressured.
Playing the game was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Meanwhile, Ding Yinuo watched us play…
From time to time Ding’s mother would remind him,
“Don’t just sit there and watch, bring some snacks for Xiaosong. Nowadays, girls like milk tea and snacks. Go and buy some!”
Soon after, she reminded him, “Ask Xiaosong if she’s cold and give her a coat if necessary.”
Then, Ding’s mother brought in a plate of tangerines, nudged Ding Yinuo with her elbow and gave him an order.
“Peel some for Xiaosong!”
“Mom, why are you bossing me around today? Can you give me a break? You’re so nice to Xiaosong. I’m starting to wonder if I’m your real son or if Xiaosong is your real daughter?”
