"What do you mean your niece? She's clearly my grand-niece. We're more closely related!" Li Qianze, who had just grabbed the little one, immediately twisted his body away.
But their tug of war just now had awoken Shi Yimo who had been soundly asleep.
The little one pouted, and suddenly burst into loud tears.
Shi Annuo's heart ached as he coaxed the little one while blaming Li Qianze, "Li Qianze, look what you've done. She cries as soon as you hold her. Give Little Lele back to me now!"
Li Qianze had no intention of returning her to Shi Annuo. As he rocked Little Lele, who cried loudly in his arms, he admonished her lovingly, "Don't cry, Little Lele. If you cry, your little uncle won't like you anymore!"
Shi Annuo scoffed, "Our Little Lele couldn't care less about your affection."
At that moment, Song Qinghuan, who had been helping Auntie Wang cook in the kitchen, heard her daughter's cries and rushed out, "What's going on? What happened?"
