Just like always when Zhenyi entered the Xin mansion, the housekeeper told her how her father was anxiously waiting for her. She just shook her head. Why must her father behave as if they are meeting after so long?
Whatever, she was used to it now!
Plus, she was in a very good mood now.
"Ah, my princess is here," Xin Yichen grinned as he saw his daughter entering the room.
Zhenyi paused when she saw her father grinning in happiness. She didn't know what happened but when was the last time she saw her Bà this happy?
She didn't remember. But happiness looks good on him.
"Bà, you look handsome, " teased Zhenyi with a smile. Truly, he looked young, almost boyish with this beautiful grin on his face.
"I know right," His grin widened. "Who would say that this young and handsome man is the grandfather of two?!"
"Two?"Zhenyi carefully asked him.
Xin Yichen clicked his tongue as he realized the mistake that he committed. His apologizing gaze met his son's who just shook his head in helplessness.
Following Bà's gaze, Zhenyi found Alcina and Ryuu smiling widely.
"Really bro?"Zhenyi questioned him with a hesitant voice.
It was Alcina who nodded her head with a proud smile. Shouldn't she act a bit shy? Ah, she wouldn't be Alcina if she would have this shy bone on her body.
"Wow, "Zhenyi's mouth formed in an 'O'. For a moment, she didn't know how to react. She was truly happy for them. To have another niece or nephew? Wow. It was a dream come true kind of feeling.
Sprinting just like her little niece, she hugged her brother and gave a sloppy kiss on his cheek.
"Ew," Ryuu made a face but Zhenyi knew he was glad.
"Can I hug you?" Zhenyu was afraid that she would break Alcina if she hugged her. Especially the little baby in her sister-in-law's tummy.
Alcina rolled her eyes. "Can you both siblings stop overreacting?"
Zhenyi sighed. "But you are pregnant. We both are just trying to not hurt her."
See, they even argue like same. No wonder they were just like each other.
"Exactly," Ryuu agreed. His wife thinks getting pregnant and delivering a baby is a child's play. He had seen last time how difficult it could be. He wanted to do the best for her and his children.
What could Alcina do now? Both of them were behaving as if she was a glass doll and if they touched her a bit hard, they would break her. It was only Ryuu before. Then, he taught this weird thing to their daughter too who would ask before hugging her these days. One could understand how tough her life was these days.
Now that almost everyone knows about the arrival of new baby in their family, she was afraid that everyone gonna behave the same way as her stupid but loving husband. If this happened, she was afraid that she would go mad soon.
"Oh God," Alcina groaned. "I'm pregnant, not sick. So stop behaving like I will break if you guys touch me." She then hugged Zhenyi before the latter one change her mind.
Zhenyi obviously was on pins and needles as Alcina wrapped the arm around her. Her fear of pregnant women was coming up once again. But after taking a few shallow breaths, she normalized herself before they would find her weird.
"Aunt Zhenyi!" Zhenyi's favorite-est person called her. She turned to find Faye putting forward her arms, indicating to pick her. Obliging to her demand, she picked the heavy little Tang in her arms. Faye circled her arms around her neck and then gave a few wet kisses on her cheeks. Zhenyi was smiling widely with her eyes closed as she let this little girl do whatever she wanted to. When she opened her eyes, she found her twinkling green eyes looking at her. "Do you know we're gonna have a tiny baby in our home?" She then blinked her eyes and said,"But I don't want a tiny baby girl."
Ryuu and Alcina's little girl was more like Alcina. Painfully blunt. How good it would be if she inherited the skill of words from her dad?
"Ah?" Zhenyi blinked her eyes at her, feigning ignorance. "Our Faye wants a baby boy, then?"
"I dunno," She pouted adorably. "Boys are annoying."
"And who said this?" Zhenyi questioned her.
Faye directly pointed her finger at Ryuu. "Dada said boys are annoying and I should not talk to them. He also said if I talk to boys I will get rashes. And it hurts."
Alcina narrowed her eyes at Ryuu as she knew why he was teaching such nonsense to the little girl. Turning her gaze back to her daughter, she said, "But baby, you liked Aunt Meilin's baby, didn't you?"
Faye took a minute before nodding her head. "Are all babies adorable like Jun?"
Alcina nodded.
But Ryuu refused. "No, our baby will be more adorable than any Long baby."
Zhenyi lightly nudged him in the stomach when he said this. "Stop being so narcissistic."
Her and Jie's baby would be the adorable-est babies in the world. Oops, where did the thought even come from?
Ryuu looked at her as if he was offended. "What?! I'm not kidding. Our genes are superior to them. Look at my daughter and look at Jun. He is a bald, his features are not so sharp like my daughter and even not smart like her."
Zhenyi just kept on staring at him as if he had grown horns. Was it her brother? He wasn't petty and narrow-minded? Since when did he started comparing his kids with others?
Xin Yichen couldn't take it anymore and burst into laughter. He shook his head as he saw his Reine speaking in Ryuu. They both were so similar in some aspects.
