Every time, it thrills Qin Youxuan to no end.

Just like now, the little guy is full and content. As soon as Qin Youxuan places him on the tatami, he flips over onto his belly, facing the pillow.

He gazes at his mom with big, dark eyes.

His little pink face, still so young, yet already astoundingly handsome.

Mischievous big eyes, a tall nose bridge, thin lips...

Completely sculpted in the image of Dan Hanjie, with a touch of Qin Youxuan’s untamed spirit mixed in.

An upgraded little rascal.

His tiny arms endlessly reaching out to Qin Youxuan, wanting her to hold him.

Waiting forever without luck, his clear eyes blink, and he starts calling ma, ma, making it impossible for Qin Youxuan to resist.

She reaches out and embraces him in her arms.

"I really can’t handle you. So young and already pulling the cute card—what will happen when you grow up?" Qin Youxuan pinches the little guy’s handsome face.

"How is my son so awesome?"

"And you’re proud of that? Is that all it takes?" Dan Hanjie steps into the room, walks to the balcony, and wraps Qin Youxuan in his arms from behind.

With a wicked glance at the little brat occupying his wife’s attention, he scoffs, "Not nearly as good as me."

"..."

Qin Youxuan’s joyous mood is instantly doused like cold water.

She glares at him fiercely.

Did her son wrong him in a past life or something? Every chance he gets, he has to criticize her little treasure.

"mama..."

The little guy clearly articulates the two-syllable word, his tiny arms wrapping around Qin Youxuan’s neck.

His delicate little face tilts upwards, his small mouth grinning, revealing recently sprouted baby teeth.

His cuteness melts Qin Youxuan’s heart.

The most critical part is, little Tingye called her mama!

Qin Youxuan becomes teary-eyed instantly, turning to Dan Hanjie, "Did you hear that? I’m not imagining it, right? Tingye really said mama!"

"..."

Dan Hanjie’s eyes sharpen as he takes the little guy from her hands, sits on the tatami, and places him on his lap.

Lowering his gaze, he stares at the face nearly identical to his own, "Say papa."

"Did you hear me? Say papa now, or I’ll have to teach you a lesson!" Dan Hanjie waits a while, realizing the little guy just arrogantly side-eyes him without any intention to obey, and he instantly gets angry.

"Pffft—"

Instead of calling him papa, he receives two little bubbles from the kid.

"..."

Dan Hanjie’s enchanting face immediately clouds over.

His expression so dark, it could drip ink.

"Tingye’s still young; maybe he can’t say it yet, don’t force him." Qin Youxuan, sensing things aren’t right, quickly takes the little guy back into her arms and turns to walk away.

"Qin Youxuan, hand him over to me. See how I won’t straighten him out today!"

Just as Qin Youxuan steps into the living room with the little guy in her arms, she hears Dan Hanjie’s roar from upstairs.

"Gurgle..."

Qin Youxuan’s nerves tense up. The little guy in her arms is laughing joyfully instead.

As he laughs, he proudly puckers his little lips, repeating, "baba... baba..."

His haughty little expression blatantly screams: It’s not that I can’t, I just don’t feel like calling you...

Qin Youxuan is instantly emotional.

Stuck between two little devils, can someone understand the feelings of a normal person like her?!

Hearing footsteps from behind, Qin Youxuan stiffens immediately.

Just as she considers where to hide her son, she sees Yao striding in from outside.
