"Alright, both of you stop staring at me like that. The child is crying." Li Zhao wanted to comfort the crying child, but didn't know how to start. His clumsy attempt amused both the mother-and-daughter-in-law who were present.
Seeing the adults laugh, the child stopped crying. She opened her big eyes wide and looked at her mother, her eyes even rolling in curiosity.
"Oh, our little darling understands that her father is being silly, doesn't she? Are you watching your father make a fool of himself?" Chen Lei joked, finding the child's behavior adorable.
However, Li Zhao wasn't pleased with the context of her statement. He felt it tarnished his image in front of his daughter.
"Mom, she's still a baby, please save me some face. What if she starts to think I'm not heroic enough?" Li Zhao looked at his daughter, silently pleading: good girl, don't listen to your grandma, your dad is very wise, you know.
