Chapter 1399 Winter Travel Photo Album
Sylvia was rendered speechless by Shao Yun's words. Seeing that he showed her no mercy, she pouted unhappily, her cheeks puffed out slightly, like a wronged child, and let out a muffled "Ugh~", looking both angry and cute.
Seeing that Cecilia was really taking it seriously and was about to throw a tantrum, Yingyan quickly stepped in to smooth things over. She gently tugged at Shao Yun's arm and then smiled at Cecilia, saying:
"Okay, okay, my husband was just joking with you. How could he not let you eat? We'll eat together in a little while."
As she spoke, she gently added a sentence, giving Sittrali plenty of face.
"Think about it, if my husband really dislikes you and doesn't welcome you, you won't even be able to enter our house."
Upon hearing Ying speak up for her and even invite her to lunch, Cetalli's anger instantly turned to joy. Her earlier slight grievance vanished, replaced by a pout. She gave Ying a firm kiss on the cheek and happily said:
"I knew you were the best, Ying! Mmm~"
After saying that, she tossed the children's cookies in her hand to Ying and said with a smile:
"Keep the gift for the baby safe, it's so delicious! Hehe, I'm going to go to the kitchen to see what you're making for lunch today, I'm starving!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Seth Lari skipped and hopped towards the kitchen, her steps light and quick, shouting as she ran:
"Ningguang, Ningguang! What delicious food did you make today?!"
……
Sitella skipped and hopped into the kitchen, but before she could even see the food in the pot, Ningguang gently pushed her back and forcefully pushed her out of the kitchen within seconds.
Cetalari, who had been pushed out, looked aggrieved, rubbed her back where she had been pushed, and protested:
"What are you doing, Miss Ningguang! I'll just stand here and watch. I absolutely won't touch the kitchen utensils or cause any trouble, okay? I just want to go in and see what delicious food we have today."
Ningguang leaned against the kitchen door, looking helplessly at Sitrus.
She really didn't dare to gamble! The last time Cecilia volunteered to cook, she almost blew up the whole kitchen. She still vividly remembered the scene of oil splattering everywhere and smoke billowing from the stove.
How could she possibly let this utterly incompetent kitchen killer step into the kitchen again? She wouldn't even feel comfortable letting her stand by and watch!
Seeing Ningguang's unyielding gaze, Sitale knew that arguing would be useless, so she could only droop her head dejectedly, reluctantly walk to the sofa in the living room, and obediently wait for dinner to be served.
However, the time spent waiting for food wasn't too boring, since Shen He was there to play and amuse Xi, which was enough to keep her entertained.
Shen He was holding Xi, who was sitting on his lap. The little one was still wearing her mini version of the dragon-themed onesie pajamas. Her round little body leaned against Shen He's chest, and she stretched out her chubby little arms, gesturing towards the cookie box in Ying's hand, and said in a stumbling, childish voice:
"Cookies, cookies, cookies~ Mommy, I want cookies."
Her voice was so soft and sweet, and her pronunciation was a little unclear, yet it was so adorable that it melted everyone's heart.
Shen He, wearing the same dragon-patterned onesie pajamas, smiled gently, took a small star-patterned cookie from the children's cookie bag that Ying handed him and that Cetalli had brought, and held it to Xi's lips, saying with a smile:
"Baby, be good, open your mouth, ah~"
Xi's eyes lit up instantly when she saw the star-shaped cookies in Shen He's hand. She excitedly reached out her little hand to grab them, while obediently opening her mouth and muttering "Aba aba".
"Ah! Mommy! I want it! I want it!"
His impatient little face made Sitrus, who was standing next to him, laugh.
Shen He was almost overwhelmed by the baby's adorable appearance. She fed Xi a cookie, her face full of a kind smile, and asked softly:
"Good baby, do you like the cookies?"
Xi puffed out her round cheeks, slowly chewing on a cookie while nodding vigorously, and happily mumbled:
"Mmm! So late (eating)~ Mommy, more! More cookies!" After saying that, she opened her little mouth again and looked at Shen He expectantly.
Shen He looked at the adorable little one in his arms, his heart filled with joy, and he couldn't help but kiss her little face.
How could my goddaughter be so lovable and adorable!
She smiled and nodded, then took a small, round cookie from her bag, gently held it to Xi's lips, and said softly, "Mmm! Good girl, have another one, open your mouth~"
……
As Sitrali watched Shen He and Xi's intimate interaction, she felt a sense of warmth, but the more she looked, the more abstract it seemed.
Ying's biological daughter calls Shen He "Mom" so softly and affectionately, but seems unusually indifferent to her own mother Ying. This is not right.
She turned to look at Shao Yun, who was leaning back on the sofa, leisurely sipping iced water to cool off, and asked:
"Mr. Shao Yun, I'm a little confused. Is this child really yours and Ying's? No matter how I look at it, Shen He seems more like her biological mother."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun raised his eyelids indifferently, took another sip of ice water, and the cool liquid slid down his throat, dispelling the midday heat.
He then replied nonchalantly, "Hey, we're all family, no need for formalities."
"Shen He is the child's godmother. She spends every day with her and takes care of her. Isn't it normal for her to be good to the child?"
In his view, this kind of thing is nothing to be surprised about. It's natural for a family to love each other and for the child to be closer to whoever treats the child well.
Cetalli still felt something was off, so she turned to look at Ying, who was equally indifferent and nonchalant, pouted, and asked again:
"Miss Ying, aren't you jealous? Your own daughter calls other people 'Mom' every day, don't you mind at all?"
She simply couldn't understand it; if it were her, she definitely would have given in long ago. (Even though she's never been in a relationship.)
Ying was holding a glass of chilled juice, sipping it slowly. Hearing this, she casually looked up and glanced at Shen He and Xi, who were wearing the same fluffy dragon-patterned onesie pajamas not far away.
How to describe it? Her biggest worry was whether her daughter would suffer from heatstroke...
"Why would I be jealous? Shen He likes my daughter, and my daughter depends on him. The two of them together look quite cute. Why would I be jealous?"
Cetalli was completely dumbfounded when she saw this family, all of whom looked completely indifferent.
How can this family be so abstract?
She couldn't help but mutter to herself: "You don't mind now, but when the child grows up, he'll be closer to his godmother than to his biological parents. You'll have nowhere to cry then!"
After holding it in for a while, she couldn't help but complain, "I think I understand now. I feel like this child was deliberately conceived by you and Ying for Shen He!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun waved his hand dismissively, indicating to Cecilia that she didn't need to worry unnecessarily.
“Hey, you’re wrong about that. Shen He is happy, and Xi is happy too, isn’t that enough? Anyway, for a child, having two mothers who truly love and care for her isn’t a bad thing. It’s always better to have more people to love her than less.”
As soon as Shao Yun finished speaking, as if Watson had discovered a blind spot, inspiration suddenly struck him, and he slapped his thigh, adding:
"Oh right! If the child makes a mistake in the future, he'll probably get spanked by both mothers at the same time!"
His tone was full of curiosity, with a hint of schadenfreude, as if he could already picture the scene.
Upon hearing this, Cetalli's lips twitched involuntarily, and her expression instantly became somewhat complicated. She concluded with a wry smile:
"So this is what they mean by 'receiving double the love'? When you make a mistake, you have to endure double the spanking? That's too cruel!"
As she spoke, she couldn't help but shake her head, secretly worried for the little one.
Shao Yun nodded in complete agreement, his smile widening. He subconsciously turned to look at Ningguang, who was busy in the kitchen, the occasional clinking of dishes echoing in the air. A thought suddenly popped into his head, and he felt that Ningguang should be included as well. He immediately added:
"If that's the case, Ningguang has to be included too! Ningguang is also the child's godmother, so that's three times the love. If the child makes a mistake in the future, all three of them will spank him together..."
Upon hearing this, Sitella was completely stunned. She paused for a moment, then silently began counting in her mind.
Shao Yun and Ying are biological parents, Shen He is godmother, Ning Guang is god aunt, there is also Ying's brother, the child's uncle "Kong", plus the all-knowing butler Yuan Shang... In total, this family has seven people!
She couldn't help but gasp and sincerely prayed for Shao Yun's daughter.
This family is too "terrifying". They dote on their child seven times more than others. But if the child makes a mistake in the future, then all seven of them will spank him!
Cetalli found it increasingly amusing, yet also felt a pang of sympathy for the little one, and couldn't help but mutter:
"My God! There are seven people in total, that's seven times the love. If you make a mistake, you'll have to endure seven spankings... If you really make a mistake, your bottom will be bruised and battered!"
(Yuan Shang: I can't bear to hit Her Highness the Little Princess...)
(Empty: If I dared to hit my niece, my sister would chop me to pieces.)
……
Sylvia watched Shen He play with the baby for a while. As she looked at Xi's soft and cuddly appearance, her novelty wore off. She turned her attention to Shao Yun and Ying and asked them about their sudden trip.
"By the way, Mr. Shao Yun, Ms. Ying, you two suddenly went on a trip a while ago. Where did you go? I asked Shen He, but she didn't know either."
When Cetalli heard Shao Yun say that he had taken Ying and Paimon on their winter trip, her eyes lit up instantly, and she became excited. She grabbed Shao Yun's arm and eagerly said:
"So you went to Zhidong for your trip? You must have taken a lot of photos, right? Let me see them, I've never seen what Zhidong looks like before!"
Shao Yun glanced towards the kitchen, guessing that lunch wouldn't be ready for a while, so she didn't refuse. She stood up with a smile and said, "Okay, I'll show you."
With that, he turned and went to the study. A short while later, he came out with an exquisite photo album and handed it to Sitrus, who was full of anticipation.
"Look, this is the photo album I took with Ying and Paimon during our trip to Zhidong. They're all in here."
Cetalli eagerly took the photo album, carefully flipping to the first page. She was instantly stunned by the images inside; her eyes widened in disbelief, almost blinded by the light, and she couldn't help but gasp in amazement.
"My goodness! Is this the beginning of winter? The snow is so white and beautiful!"
The first page of the album features a photo of the three of them standing on a snow-covered plain in the dead of winter. Snowflakes are falling all around, and the ice sculptures in the distance are crystal clear, creating a clean and spectacular scene.
Shao Yun moved closer to her, pointed to the photos in the album, and patiently explained one by one: "This photo was taken on the snowy plains in winter. The sky was clear and the scenery was exceptionally beautiful that day."
"Oh, and this one too. We took it at a local specialty restaurant, enjoying winter specialties like hot borscht and crispy fried meat patties. It was delicious."
He turned to the next page and pointed to a photo of the two of them in front of the theater.
"Moreover, we saw quite a few performances during the winter. We specifically went to see a performance by the Kololevsky Theatre Company. The actors' performances were particularly brilliant, no less so than the plays performed at the Opiclie Opera House in Fontainebleau. They were especially captivating."
As he spoke, Shao Yun suddenly remembered something and casually added, "Oh, right, I also bought some of Zhidong's fine wine, which is quite spicy, and many souvenirs produced in Zhidong. They're all in the study."
