She looked as delicate as a dolled-up jade figurine. With red lips, white teeth, pitch-black eyes, and rosy cheeks peeking through her white face, she seemed so tender and soft that one couldn’t help but want to squeeze and hug her.

Looking at Gu Junzhu, who was gazing at the child with such affection, it was as if he was looking at his own flesh and blood.

It made sense.

Just a few glances at the child made his heart itch with longing.

Well, since the child was so reliant on Gu Junzhu, it was only natural for Gu Junzhu to love him.

Gu Junzhu carried the little boy back to Ye Xingbei’s side.

Ye Xingbei pinched the little one’s cheek and pretended to be angry: “You little rascal! Always thinking about Daddy and forgetting Mommy, right?”

Although she was feigning anger, there was undeniable bitterness in her heart.

After pouring out so much effort over five years to raise this child, the place in his heart was overtaken by the newcomer Gu Junzhu in just a couple of days. The little rascal only had eyes for Gu Junzhu and no longer her.

It felt as though someone had flipped her heart over, spilling all the vinegar inside, leaving behind a sour taste.

The little one hugged her neck and gave her a peck on the cheek. In a soft voice, he confessed, “Mommy, you’re always here. But what if Daddy has to leave again on a mission?”

Hearing this, Ye Xingbei felt her heart squeeze tighter.

The sour taste in her heart this time wasn’t from jealousy, but from the pang of sympathy she suddenly felt for her son’s understanding of the situation.

So, the boy was not simply attached to Gu Junzhu, but was also afraid that Gu Junzhu might vanish on him again. That’s why he clung so tightly to him.

Gu Junzhu lightly patted his bottom, “I’ve retired, Daddy won’t be going on any more missions.”

“But you could still go on business trips!” The tiny boy earnestly raised both soft hands to cradle Gu Junzhu’s face, “The book says, men should provide and women should nurture. Mommy can always be with Little Tree, while Daddy has to hustle outside, earn money to provide for Little Tree and Mommy!”

Gu Junzhu grinned, pinching his small cheeks, “You little thing, how come you understand so much? Alright, Daddy promises you, if I have to leave on a business trip, I’ll always let Little Tree know. I won’t leave stealthily. Is that acceptable?”

“Uh-huh!” The child nodded vigorously, extending a small finger, “Pinky promise! No going back on your word or you’re a puppy!”

“Pinky promise!” Gu Junzhu extended his pinky, hooking it with the little one’s finger.

At noon, Xie Yunlin, Xie Jinfei, and Ye Xinglan all stayed over for lunch.

Little Tree was thrilled to have two uncles joining them. Though, for him, his daddy, Gu Junzhu, remained his favorite.

Snuggled next to Gu Junzhu, his eyes were almost always fixated on him. Whoever Gu Junzhu talked to, he would listen attentively.

With his tiny hands, he even attempted to serve Gu Junzhu by picking out food for him. Tasting something delicious, he instantly scooped more onto Gu Junzhu’s plate.

Xie Jinfei looked on enviously.

This small milk-fed child, so endearing and adorable. He wished he could have one too.

Seeing Xie Jinfei’s glowing eyes fixed on the child, Xie Yunlin abruptly said, “Xiao Fei, if you like children so much, you better get married soon and have your own.”

That way, the ceaseless nagging from their grandparents to find a girlfriend and get married would probably come to an end.

Jinfei nearly spit out the food in his mouth, gulping it down in two to three bites, and after a couple of coughs, laughed off Yunlin’s comment. He said, “Stop kidding around! You’re older than me, so if anyone should get married first, it should be you. Marriage is still a long way off for me.”

Yunlin shot him a glance and chuckled, “Oh, so now you remember to be respectful towards your elder brother? Where was this respect when you were taking benefits for yourself?”

A sheepish grin spread across Jinfei’s face, and he silently resumed eating his food.

Ye Xinglan watched as Jinfei shied away, a sight reminding him of his younger brother Ye Xingli. He couldn’t help but display a knowing smile.

No wonder they were cousins. The way they both cowered in such situations was almost identical.

Even though these two brothers resembled their mother more, there were certain similarities among them if you looked close enough..
