Ten Thousand Soul Banner: Deceased, do you have any unfulfilled wishes?-Chapter 1124 - 1120: Surprise

The news of Jiang Yingxue’s smooth delivery spread like a rocket, instantly reaching all the relatives and friends.

Ruan Hongzhuang’s uncle, aunt, and little aunt Ruan Manman, booked their flights the same day they received the news and rushed to Bin Hai. Even the second uncle’s family, who were overseas, immediately set their return trip.

Besides, many of Ruan Xiangqian’s friends and business partners brought gifts and came to the hospital to congratulate him. For a while, the VIP ward was bustling with people coming and going.

Fortunately, it was the hospital’s highest standard exclusive ward, spacious and private. Otherwise, a regular ward would have been too crowded, and the nurses would have intervened.

However, this had little to do with Shen Siyuan.

Even Huang Huijuan, who had been staying at the hospital to care for Jiang Yingxue, went home with Shen Siyuan and the others.

Jiang Yingxue, thanks to the Life Energy from childbirth, recovered quickly, looking rosy and full of energy. With the hospital providing a dedicated 24-hour caregiver for the mother and child, she had no need to intervene; staying there seemed redundant.

Besides, she missed home and Shen Jianjun a bit.

So, that afternoon, Shen Jianjun drove to Bin Hai.

He first went to the hospital to see the baby, then congratulated Ruan Xiangqian, and took Huang Huijuan back to enjoy their time alone together.

"When can we see the baby?"

"But I want to see him now," Dou Dou said.

"Not now, there are too many people at the hospital," Ruan Hongzhuang patiently explained.

Hearing this, Dou Dou didn’t persist, but his big, bright eyes kept darting around, and who knows what mischief was brewing in his little head.

On the floor nearby, Tang Tang was sitting and playing with her new toy, a white pull-back ambulance.

She pulled the back of the car and then let go, making the ambulance shoot forward with a "whoosh."

Tang Tang clapped her hands excitedly, her drool sliding down her chin onto her bib.

The bib was already soaked with saliva, sticking wetly to her chin, looking quite uncomfortable.

Tang Tang deftly lifted her hand, grabbed the edge of the bib, spun it around her neck, and brought the dry side to the front. Her actions were smooth and practiced, both heartwarming and amusing.

Dou Dou grabbed her up, "Don’t you want to see the baby? Don’t you want to know what he looks like?"

"Huh?"

Tang Tang was a bit dazed from being shaken, blinking her round eyes and staring at Dou Dou with a confused expression.

"Tang Tang is a little fool."

Tang Tang’s expression changed instantly; she frowned, putting on an angry face.

(╰_╯)

Then she reached out and pinched Dou Dou’s face with swift precision.

"Wow, you still try to fool me by pretending you didn’t hear?"

Dou Dou was prepared and nimbly dodged to the side, avoiding her "attack." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Huh~"

Perhaps because she had been found out, Tang Tang gave a silly smile, her eyes full of mischief.

She then raised her little hand and traced a beautiful arc in the air.

Then, imitating the baby, she cooed a few times in a babyish tone, making Dou Dou laugh uproariously.

But Shen Siyuan, Ruan Hongzhuang, and Taozi, upon hearing Tang Tang’s "cry," all turned to look at her in surprise.

Because Tang Tang’s imitated "cry" was just too familiar.

"She... has she seen Huichun?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked, a bit stammering.

"Maybe the wind told her," Shen Siyuan said with a smile.

He remembered last summer when Duoduo sang a children’s song on the path of cultivation; Tang Tang hadn’t been with them, yet she learned the song afterward.

"Wow, that sounds so poetic," Taozi exclaimed pleasantly.

Ruan Hongzhuang gave her a side-eye.

"Right, is mom coming back or heading straight to Si Ming?"

"The baby is too young to go to Si Ming. She’s planning to stay at my old house for a while," Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

The old house she mentioned was where she and Taozi used to live.

It’s quite spacious, definitely enough to accommodate a child.

"Wouldn’t it be better for her to come straight to us?"

Ruan Hongzhuang shook her head.

"It’s fine for her alone, but with the baby being so fussy, it’s better not. Also, with several nannies coming and going, it’s more convenient to stay there."

Several nannies? Is that even a human thing to say?

It must be said, having children when you’re wealthy really comes with no burdens.

"What about your dad? What’s his plan, staying in Bin Hai or going back to Si Ming?"

"He’ll be going back and forth for now."

"Since the uncle and the family are coming to Bin Hai, should we invite them over?" Shen Siyuan asked.

It’s a matter of etiquette; it would be rude not to host them if they’re already in Bin Hai.

"Of course, we will. When the second uncle’s family arrives in Bin Hai in a couple of days, we’ll get together then."

"Should I leave then?" Taozi asked, raising her hand pitifully.

"No special arrangement needed; some things they will know sooner or later. Just stay at home as usual," said Shen Siyuan.

Ruan Hongzhuang quietly pursed her lips.

"Eh? She’s pouting,"

Taozi immediately pointed at Ruan Hongzhuang, feigning a yin and yang tone, "Looks like she’s not too happy about me staying here."

Ruan Hongzhuang glared at Taozi fiercely, her eyes carrying a hint of "just you wait" threat.

"Wow, she’s glaring at me now."

Taozi retreated behind Shen Siyuan on purpose, acting all smug with her "protector."

"Oh my, with that sly look, see how I’ll deal with you with my temper."

Ruan Hongzhuang was amused by her antics, rolled up her sleeves, and reached out trying to grab Taozi.

Taozi reacted quickly, retreating entirely behind Shen Siyuan, using him as a natural barrier, peeking out with just half her head, giggling.

"Are you protecting her? Move aside."

Ruan Hongzhuang looked at Shen Siyuan, her tone carrying a hint of teasing protest.

"I’m not protecting her; she hid behind me herself."

Shen Siyuan said innocently, stepping aside to try exposing Taozi.

But Taozi, like a little tail, followed his movement, Shen Siyuan’s broad frame effectively shielding her completely, not even a piece of clothing visible.

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out to grab several times around Shen Siyuan’s side but caught nothing, getting frustrated and finally pounced toward Shen Siyuan.

Shen Siyuan scooped Ruan Hongzhuang into his arms effortlessly.

Ruan Hongzhuang wrapped her legs around Shen Siyuan’s waist, looped her arms around his neck, leaned forward over his shoulder, and skillfully pinched Taozi’s face hiding behind, even giving her cheek a playful tweak.

"Hey, you’re cheating."

Taozi’s words blurred from the cheek-pinching, yet she still managed to complain.

Holding Ruan Hongzhuang in his arms, Shen Siyuan felt her body’s warmth and watched Taozi "wailing" from behind, unable to suppress a laugh.

At that moment, a sudden yelp came from Dou Dou, "You’re cheating."

The three turned to see Tang Tang finally caught Dou Dou, pinching her cheek.

She was now in the same predicament as Taozi.

Taozi: ...
