Liu Ruhua rushed home and found her husband.
"Honey, I went to see our granddaughter today," she said, still brimming with excitement.
Ye Jianming was sitting on the sofa reading a newspaper and couldn't understand why his wife was so agitated.
"She's just a granddaughter! What's all the fuss about?" Ye Jianming said, not looking up from his paper.
"Hmph, just a granddaughter, huh? Well, don't be curious then! Oh, looks like I'll have to admire these photos all by myself."
Saying that, Liu Ruhua took out her phone and slowly started scrolling through the pictures, ignoring Ye Jianming's furtive glances.
Ye Jianming, sitting beside her, was already restless. His eyes kept darting to the side, and he'd occasionally turn his head to look. Seeing his wife completely unfazed, he finally put down his newspaper and shamelessly sat down next to her.
"Ahem, darling, let me take a look too."
"Oh! Just a granddaughter, what's so special about seeing her?" Liu Ruhua asked, looking at him with a half-smile.
"Wife, you already know, why are you teasing me?" Ye Jianming touched his nose guiltily.
"You old man, you're getting better at pretending," Liu Ruhua covered her phone, refusing to let him see.
"But I have to maintain my authority in front of the children!" Ye Jianming said helplessly.
"You have to maintain your authority in front of me too?" Liu Ruhua looked exasperated.
"It's just a habit! Come on, let me see our granddaughter." He leaned over, trying to grab her phone.
"You're so eager," Liu Ruhua rolled her eyes, then quickly turned the phone to share the photos with her husband.
"Quick, look, isn't she incredibly cute? She's my granddaughter, after all. So beautiful! Look at this little face, so endearing." Liu Ruhua couldn't stop talking about Nuannuan, scrolling through photos with a doting expression.
"This is my granddaughter? She's so beautiful," Ye Jianming said, his face filled with affection.
"I like this one, wife, send it to me quickly." Ye Jianming reached out to take the phone.
"What's the rush? There are more!" Liu Ruhua slapped his hand away.
"Send me this one first, I want to show it to Old Li." Ye Jianming impatiently snatched the phone and busied himself.
Liu Ruhua pouted as she watched him head down, busy sending photos, and nudged him with her elbow.
"Hey, I have something to tell you. Jinghuai mentioned today that he'll be bringing Nuannuan back in a couple of days to meet everyone. He's also planning a banquet for Nuannuan to introduce her to everyone."
"Mm, that's appropriate. We can discuss the arrangements when Jinghuai brings Nuannuan back," Ye Jianming nodded in agreement, still busy with his phone.
"Her name is Nuannuan? What's her full name?" Ye Jianming suddenly looked up at Liu Ruhua.
"Ahem, I forgot to ask. She'll definitely have the surname Ye, why are you so anxious? We'll know when I ask later." Liu Ruhua adamantly refused to admit she hadn't thought about it at all.
"I was just asking!" Ye Jianming said softly.
Meanwhile, Nuannuan, freshly bathed and smelling sweet, was put into Ye Jinghuai's bed. That night, Ye Jinghuai coaxed her into his room under the pretext of worrying about her relapse.
When Ye Jinghuai came out after his shower, he saw a small lump under the covers. As he slowly approached and was about to lift the blanket, the little lump stirred and unraveled itself.
"Ah~~ Daddy, were you scared?" Nuannuan pounced out.
"Yes, I was scared," Ye Jinghuai calmly caught his daughter's small body and replied.
"Daddy, don't be scared, Nuannuan gives a hug." Nuannuan, completely oblivious, comforted him.
"Thank you for the comfort, Nuannuan. It's time for bed now." Ye Jinghuai swayed his daughter by her little bottom.
"Ah oh~" Nuannuan, having slept a lot during the day, was still full of energy.
"Daddy, Nuannuan is not sleepy, I don't want to sleep," Nuannuan said, sitting in Ye Jinghuai's arms and swinging her legs.
"Then what do you want to do?"
"Don't know oh~" Nuannuan lowered her head and picked at her fingers, saying it with an innocent expression.
"Then let's get into bed first and think slowly, okay?"
"Okay~"
Nuannuan was then placed into the covers. As soon as Ye Jinghuai got in, he pulled the little bundle into his arms and gently patted her back. Nuannuan thought she wouldn't be able to sleep, but before long, the little one had fallen asleep sweetly.
Ye Jinghuai smiled as he looked at Nuannuan's sleeping face. He leaned down and kissed her soft little cheek before closing his eyes.
The next day, Ye Jinghuai woke up with half his body covered in drool. He indulgently tapped Nuannuan's little nose before going to wash up and head to work.
