"Good lord, you are hilarious!" Qing Zhu laughed so much that she clutched her stomach. Her daughter was really stepping up to the plate, knowing that she didn't want this man in their house - so she was taking revenge for her, right?
"Really, I'm not joking." Ye Xuan thought Qing Zhu hadn't heard him, so he replied seriously.
"Hold her for a second, I'll get her a change of pants." Seeing his face, somewhere between laughter and tears, Qing Zhu stifled her own laughter as she spoke. However, the trembling of her shoulders gave away that she was chuckling under her breath.
Ye Xuan noticed too, but what could he say? He looked down at the little one in his arms who was staring up at him with wide, twinkling eyes, her gums showing in a charming grin.
Seeing such an angelic figure, Ye Xuan's stern heart suddenly softened, infected by her innocent and pure smile. He found himself smiling along.
