Perhaps it was her bright smile that influenced the child. Li Rui hesitated before nodding.
Li Lei pulled him to sit by his side, stroking his head and giving him more pieces of the dessert while smiling. Li Rui was not often treated this way by Father. He was flattered and immediately straightened his back, working hard to showcase his best side so that Father and Aunt Ling would take a greater liking to him.
"Xiao Rui is so cute." Xia Ling praised before wielding her brushes to paint.
The drawing of portraits required patience. It was not only hard on the painter, but on the models as well, for they had to stay still for one to two hours. Xia Ling took into consideration that the child was still young, so she did not have high expectations of him. "Xiao Rui, you can eat some dessert and chat with Father." Only then would the child be able to stand sitting there and hopefully develop an interest.
