Vu Shu was fine. Seeing the little girl’s apprehensive and uneasy appearance, he felt sorry for her and ambiguously said, “You’re so cute. Your mother and father definitely won’t abandon you.”

The mother and father Vu Shu referred to were the little girl’s biological parents. As for how she would understand it, Vu Shu was not responsible.

Compared to Vu Shu’s ambiguity, Yan Jin was much more straightforward. “You’re so cute. Your mother and father definitely won’t abandon you. But we’re not your parents. Don’t casually say that we abandoned you.”

Vu Shu felt his temples starting to hurt again.

How could this person talk to a child like this? Saying it so bluntly would hurt the child’s feelings.

“Does mother not want Guo Bao Rou anymore?” The little girl Guo Bao Rou tightly clutched the hem of her clothes with her chubby little hands, her big eyes brimming with tears, looking pitifully at Yan Jin. “Guo Bao Rou will behave. Whatever mother wants me to recite, I’ll recite. I won’t dare to be lazy and not practice calligraphy anymore.”

[This girl’s name is too funny. I’m about to die laughing.] [To be honest, I’m already drooling. When the live broadcast ends later, I’m going to order a serving of Guo Bao Rou.]

…

[Aww, the little baby is so cute. Yan Jin should just coax the child and lie to her, saying she won’t abandon her.] [How come Yan Jin has no maternal instincts at all? She even made the child cry.] [You can say she has low EQ and a loose tongue, but saying Yan Jin has no maternal instincts is utterly ridiculous. What? Is every adult female supposed to have maternal instincts? Some people are born disliking children. What’s so strange about her not coaxing the child?]

Yan Jin thought she had misheard and asked the little girl, “What did you say your name was?”

“Guo Bao Rou.” The little girl sniffled, “Mother, did you forget? Because when I was born, father was eating Guo Bao Rou, so you gave me this name.”

“What a good name.” Vu Shu, who loved to watch the excitement and didn’t mind causing trouble, clapped his hands. “As expected of Yan Jin.”

She didn’t. Don’t slander her.

But seeing the little girl’s teary-eyed appearance, Yan Jin opened her mouth, wanting to say some comforting words, but didn’t know what to say.

The little girl’s eyes accumulated more and more tears, about to spill out the next second. Yan Jin felt this was more difficult than any experiment she had ever done.

Coaxing someone was impossible. Yan Jin was afraid that the more she coaxed, the harder the little girl would cry.

So when Yan Jin saw Vu Shu beside her, she squatted down and carefully touched Guo Bao Rou, quietly instigating her, “Go find that big brother.”

Although Yan Jin concealed it well, Guo Bao Rou still noticed “mother’s” aloofness. She suddenly pounced on Vu Shu, hugging him and crying, “Father, mother hates me. She doesn’t want me anymore.”

Vu Shu didn’t expect Yan Jin to actually shift the trouble onto him. He immediately pinched Yan Jin’s palm.

“How can you be like this?” Vu Shu complained in a low voice, “Guo Bao Rou wants you to coax her, but you’re pushing her to me instead.”

Yan Jin clasped her hands together and spoke softly, “Big brother Vu Shu is magnanimous. Please help me just this once.”

“You’re quite good at coaxing people.” Vu Shu subconsciously glanced at Zhou Nongyun. Seeing that she was enjoying watching their show, his cheeks turned red. He pinched Yan Jin again in warning, “Be mindful of the impact. There are other people in the room.”

[With Zhou Nongyun standing in the room, Vu Shu is already so embarrassed that he wants to pick his toes. If he knew that the entire nation was watching, he might want to write his will on the spot.] [I don’t understand why it’s Vu Shu writing his will, not both of them. Shouldn’t Yan Jin also write one?] [We should believe in Yan Jin’s thick skin. She definitely won’t write one.]

“Don’t look at me.” Zhou Nongyun held her teacup and walked out of the room with a smile. “I’m just a passerby. I didn’t see anything, didn’t hear anything. You guys continue.”

“It’s all your fault.” Vu Shu used his free hand to poke Yan Jin’s palm. “You don’t even consider the occasion when speaking. Now we’re being laughed at.”

Yan Jin was very puzzled. “What’s wrong with calling you brother? I even have to consider the occasion when speaking?”

Yan Jin slowly said “oh” and asked, “Does the word ‘brother’ have any special meaning? Why can’t I call you brother in front of outsiders?”

“If I remember correctly, you seem to have called me sister a few times too. If we follow your logic, is the word ‘sister’ also something that can’t be seen by others?”

Vu Shu’s lips pressed into a line, his earlobes also flushing red. Hearing the last part, he couldn’t help retorting, “Me calling you sister and you calling me brother just now are obviously two different natures.”
