Pei Qin responded with a formal cupped-hand salute.
Pei Qian watched and, without speaking, curtsied as well.
Xiao Guangjing paid it no mind, "This must be Little Radish!"
Little Radish turned to look at her mother. She didn't recognize this person and didn't know what to call him.
"Call him uncle," Pei Qin instructed her.
Little Radish immediately said politely, "Uncle!"
Xiao Guangjing laughed and, reaching out to hold her, said, "If we go by what your Uncle Yong says, you should be calling me grandfather!"
Pei Qin's expression stiffened and darkened, "Then I suppose I should also call you 'Dad', shouldn't I?" The last time they met, he almost had her killed. Now he's taking advantage at their next meeting.
Listening to her, Xiao Guangjing burst into loud laughter, "If you're willing, you can also call me uncle!"
