She glanced at the watch on her wrist and saw that it was really late, so she could only lie down and go to sleep.

Perhaps what you think about during the day appears in your dreams at night. That night, she dreamed that Ruanlin brought back a woman only a few years older than her and said that she was her stepmother, giving her a fright that left her uneasy even after waking up.

Shu Jiao’s seventieth birthday is a big day, and even though he didn’t want a grand celebration, the social obligations could not be ignored.

So the whole Ruan Family, after having breakfast in the morning, headed to the Shu Family.

As soon as they entered the Shu Family’s gate, before Ruan Jiaojiao could even greet anyone, she felt a small bundle of energy rush into her, making her step back two steps. Luckily, Ruan Hao and Duan Xi were there to support her from behind, helping her to barely keep her balance.

Neglected beneath her was Little Potato, who was hugging her leg with his big bright eyes looking up at her joyfully, calling out in a garbled voice, "Ji Ji, Ji Ji."

Ruan Jiaojiao looked down at the chubby Little Potato, her eyes lighting up immediately. She bent over and picked up the chubby little kid.

"Ji Ji, Ji Ji..." Once in Ruan Jiaojiao’s arms, Little Potato squinted his eyes with a big smile, puckered his little lips, and planted two kisses on Ruan Jiaojiao’s cheeks, not sparing either side.

After kissing, he expected a return. With his chubby little hands poking at his own cheeks, he leaned his face towards Ruan Jiaojiao’s mouth, signaling that she should kiss him in return.

Ruan Jiaojiao’s heart melted from her little cousin’s kisses, and of course, she wouldn’t hesitate. Just as she was about to reciprocate, she felt her hands go light. Little Potato was already in Duan Xi’s arms, who was beside her.

The chubby Little Potato that Ruan Jiaojiao needed both hands to hold, Duan Xi easily held with one hand, while his other hand reached out to lightly brush what seemed to be hair off her face, saying, "Little Potato is too heavy, you can’t hold him."

Little Potato would turn two in September. He was only a year and a half now, having just recently learned to walk, and could only say a few simple repetitive words.

He was very fond of his cousin Ruan Jiaojiao. The first time he opened his mouth to call someone, it was Ruan Jiaojiao, not even Gu Zichen had that honor.

Even though he said few words, it didn’t mean he couldn’t understand. For instance, he knew very well what "heavy" meant, and instantly felt somewhat unhappy, struggling in Duan Xi’s arms, wanting to go back to Ruan Jiaojiao’s embrace, continuously calling out "Ji Ji Ji Ji."

It was as if Duan Xi, who was holding him, was a monster that might eat him.

Little Potato perfectly inherited all his parents’ good qualities. Despite his young age, his delicate appearance almost won the hearts of all the women in the Ruan Family and Shu Family.

Not only did Ruan Jiaojiao adore him, but Shu Wen, Shu Jiao, and Ruanlin Family also loved him dearly.

This little tyke was as cunning as ever, as if he knew how to please the female elders of the family. He acted particularly cute and affectionate in front of them and usually stuck with them, barely bothering with the men, including his dad.

Among these men, if there was one he would least like, it would undoubtedly be Duan Xi.

Because every time he acted cutesy with the female elders at home, like Shu Wen and Shu Jiao.
