After Marrying the Officer Chapter 1245 - 1244: A Good Child Unconcerned with Fame and Fortune
Previously on After Marrying the Officer...
Witnessing his parents' dismissive attitude toward him, refusing to let him hold the infant, Uncle Ou felt deeply hurt.
Yet, this minor obstacle? Uncle Ou was certain he could handle it by himself!
Sure enough, Ou Cong trailed behind Mrs. Ou, eyes sparkling with joy at the baby, trotting eagerly into the room.
The moment they stepped inside, Mrs. Ou settled the child onto the crib and turned to Xia Chuyi. "Chuyi, there are too many people outside, it’s not good for the child to be out there."
"So I brought him in," Mrs. Ou said gravely, "You and Jingqi girl are here, make sure to keep an eye on Shi Wu."
Hearing Mrs. Ou's words, Xiao Jingqi—who was aware of some Ou Family history—quickly chimed in, "Aunt, rest assured, with me here, I’ll definitely watch over the child!"
Xiao Jingqi patted her chest firmly in assurance.
Mrs. Ou nodded upon hearing this, gazing at Xiao Jingqi. "Mm, thank you, Jingqi girl."
"But you guys don’t need to worry too much, Junjun and Shiqian have arranged for many security personnel outside today." Mrs. Ou assured Xia Chuyi and Xiao Jingqi, "Just stay in the room and don’t take the child out."
"If there are any special guests, I will personally bring them in," Mrs. Ou declared firmly, "As for the others, they are not allowed to come."
"Yes, Aunt!" With Mrs. Ou's stern tone, Xiao Jingqi replied even more earnestly.
Xia Chuyi: ...
After issuing more directives, Mrs. Ou finally exited the room.
Once Mrs. Ou had finished advising Xia Chuyi and departed,
Ou Er rushed right over to the crib to dote on his beloved little nephew.
"Little Jinbao, Little Jinbao, remember, I am your Uncle Er, the uncle who loves you the most in the world!" Uncle Ou adored the nickname "Jin Bao" he'd come up with, so he resolved to use it privately for the child no matter what.
"Little Jinbao, you’re looking at Uncle, aren’t you?" Uncle Ou gazed at the baby with those big round eyes staring back, overflowing with bliss as he exclaimed happily, "You like Uncle Er too, don’t you?"
"Uncle Er also loves you a lot!" Staring at his nephew, Uncle Ou felt his heart turning to complete mush.
"Little Jinbao, let me tell you, Uncle has already talked to the G city side, and soon enough, Uncle will start a toy company named Jin Bao as a gift for our Little Jinbao, okay?" Ou Er’s alluring peach blossom eyes squinted almost shut from grinning, his features radiating warmth.
Baby Huo Lixing, catching Uncle Ou’s words, broke into an unwitting tiny smile.
"Wow, our Little Jinbao likes this name too, right?" Ou Er buzzed with thrill, adding, "Little Jinbao, you understand Uncle! Uncle loves you to bits!"
Even as he chattered on, Baby Huo Lixing brought his tiny fist to his mouth, yawned wide, let his eyelids sag, and nodded off sleepily.
Observing the baby like that, Uncle Ou felt a twinge of disappointment at the quick nap, yet he nodded to himself approvingly, murmuring, "Upon hearing toys and gifts, our Little Jinbao is so calm, truly a child indifferent to fame and fortune!"
In Uncle Ou’s view, his nephew could do no wrong—purely charming and clever.
Though Mrs. Ou missed Uncle Ou’s mutterings, Xia Chuyi heard every bit.
Xia Chuyi’s lips twitched.
He constantly worried that such lavish pampering from the entire family might mold his son into a future Little Tyrant or Little Playboy.
