Outrageous! Who said my wife is vain?!

The Lin Family Villa.

"Mom, sister-in-law."

"Mom, sister-in-law."

"Little brother, Mingxi is back, and so is our little Jinghe."

"Let me see, who's here? Who's here?"

"Ah! Ah! Ba! Ba! Ah!"

"Oh my! It's Grandma's little Jinghe! He can even call me 'Dad' now? That's amazing!"

"Ah! Ya! Ah! Eee-ah! Ah!"

"You called me Grandma? Oh my! Our little Jinghe is such a genius, quick! Grandma's here to hug you."

Knowing that Chu Yu's family was coming for dinner, Zhao Ruoying waited early in the main living room on the first floor, mainly waiting for Xiao Jinghe.

As soon as the three of them entered the house, Zhao Ruoying came to greet them, took Xiao Jinghe from her, and hugged him affectionately.

Xiao Jinghe was also very familiar with his grandmother, Zhao Ruoying. When she suddenly held him in her arms, he didn't cry or fuss. Instead, he waved his little hands and kept touching Zhao Ruoying's face, giggling and talking in his baby talk.

Zhao Ruoying adored his adorable appearance even more, calling him her "big baby" and "good grandson" all the time. She was happy no matter how Xiao Jinghe patted her face.

Now, in Zhao Ruoying's heart, Xiao Jinghe is her number one darling, not to mention Ming Xi, even Chu Yu has to take a backseat.

Shi Peilan joked, "Look at you two, how much our mother dotes on Xiao Jinghe. Before you came, she kept saying, 'Why aren't you here yet? Why aren't you here yet?' She can't bear to be apart from this child."

Mingxi understood this quite well. "Don't even mention Mom, it's me too. Whether I'm working at the studio or whatever, as long as I'm away from this little guy for a while, I miss him."

"Hehe! It's normal. Children are what their parents worry about. When Wenman and Wenchen first started kindergarten, I had a hard time adjusting. But I must say, our Jinghe is really good-looking. He's so adorable, who could bear to be apart from him?" Shi Peilan said with a loving expression, holding little Jinghe's chubby hand.

Zhao Ruoying loved to hear that. "Of course! It's not that I think my own child is so good, but it's really rare to see a child as good-looking as Jinghe."

"Ahhh! Baba! Ah! Ya! Ya!" Little Jinghe in her arms also wiggled his little body and kept talking with his little mouth open.

Seeing this, Zhao Ruoying kissed Xiao Jinghe's chubby little belly several more times, "Our little Jinghe thinks so too, hahaha! So smart, he can listen and speak at such a young age, what will he be like when he grows up?!"

"Giggle! Hahaha!" Xiao Jinghe laughed nonstop as he was kissed.

After he finished laughing, he started wriggling in Zhao Ruoying's arms, twisting and turning as he tried to crawl out.

Honestly, this little calf is surprisingly strong; Zhao Ruoying could barely hold him. "What's wrong? Where do you want to go? Tell Grandma, and Grandma will carry you."

As she spoke, Zhao Ruoying stood up and carried Xiao Jinghe around the living room.

"Ahhh! Ya! Ya! Ah!"

Chu Yu was afraid that Zhao Ruoying wouldn't be able to control him, so he got up and walked to her side. He raised his hand to wipe the drool from the corner of Xiao Jing's mouth and then squeezed his little chubby hand. "He wants to get down and crawl around and play by himself."

"Ah! Ba! Ba ba! Ah ah ah!" Upon seeing her father, Xiao Jinghe immediately grinned and babbled as she rushed towards Chu Yu.

Now, Zhao Ruoying couldn't hold him anymore and could only hand him to Chu Yu, saying, "Go find your father, this kid is really strong."

Mingxi immediately chimed in, "He's not only strong, but also very wild. Lately, he doesn't want to be held and prefers to crawl around and run around."

"He's already like this at such a young age. Once he's older and can walk, he'll definitely be a handful. Eight people won't be enough to watch over him."

Mingxi complained, but his face was full of pride. It was rare to see a baby as healthy and lively as his Xiaojing.

"It's good for children to be active; it's good for their health," Zhao Ruoying said with a loving expression. "Come on, let's go to Jinghe's room. He can climb all he wants."

As a member of the Lin family, Xiao Jinghe naturally has his own room in the Lin family.

His room, including the living room and bedroom, was covered with carpets and cushions, and piled high with various toys, making it Xiao Jinghe's own private paradise.

Once they arrived at his room, Xiao Jinghe was like a calf returning to the grasslands, laughing and climbing around, playing with toys, having a wonderful time.

The adults sat on the ground, drinking tea and chatting, while Xiao Jinghe, who would occasionally crawl over to listen to what they were saying, played around with them.

Because Xiao Jinghe likes to climb around, his room has no chairs or anything except for the necessary furniture and a table.

After Chu Yu and the others finished their tea, they had to stand up to put their cups back on the table, which looked rather comical.

As they chatted, Mingxi suddenly remembered something and casually asked, "By the way, Mom, how's Yiya doing now? Is she still determined to develop her career in the entertainment industry?"

Mentioning this, Zhao Ruoying frowned. "Yeah, she gets criticized online every day. I don't know what she's after."

"Your third aunt came to our house a few days ago and talked about this. She said she was going to die if we didn't let her enter the entertainment industry. Now that we've let her experience it, the movie hasn't even started filming yet, and she's already crying every day because of all the online criticism."

"Your third uncle and aunt are both very worried. They tell her to give up, but she won't. They even helped her deal with those who were cursing her, but she's still not happy. What's wrong with this child? It's really worrying."

Mingxi didn't react much after hearing this. "She probably wants to gain fans through her own abilities. She doesn't want her third aunt to help her deal with the haters because she doesn't want people to say that she relies on her family."

Upon hearing this, Shi Peilan's lips curled into a mocking smile, but it quickly disappeared. "Many people think that the entertainment industry is easy to navigate. They think that as long as they are reasonably good-looking, they can succeed and become famous."

"Those people online, they'll criticize you whether you're good or bad. If you want to make a living in the entertainment industry and be fawned over by fans, you need good looks, talent, and a strong heart—all three are indispensable. Mingxi, don't you agree?"

Mingxi, who was suddenly called out, said without thinking, "Yeah, a lot of people can be very rude online, no matter what they are like in real life. Even if someone is perfect, they will still be cursed. But Yiya is the same. Why bother with those idiots? Instead of crying, she should laugh and make them angry."

Chu Yu took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Do you think everyone is like you, so strong that they can ignore those unpleasant voices?"

Zhao Ruoying deeply agreed with this, echoing, "Xiao Bao is right. Over the years, I've met many people, but there aren't many like Xiao Ming who don't take any harsh words seriously."

Mingxi chuckled, leaning her entire upper body against Chu Yu, "You all think so highly of me~"

Chu Yu raised his hand and patted his head. "Yes, you are very strong and very capable."

"Oh my! You're making her blush with all those compliments~ Hehe!"

Seeing the two of them suddenly showing off their affection again, Zhao Ruoying gave them a speechless look and said, "You two are always so lovey-dovey."

Shi Peilan didn't even bother to look up, thinking to herself, "Who are they trying to impress with this display of affection? It's all so fake."

Upon hearing this, Mingxi felt no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, she clung even closer to Chu Yu, saying, "Of course! We're a model loving couple!"

"You're getting all worked up just because I said you're fat?" Zhao Ruoying teased with a smile.

Although the sentence had nothing to do with "fat", Mingxi only focused on the word "fat".

He deflated like a punctured balloon, slumping listlessly into Chu Yu's arms, staring blankly at the ceiling.

His sudden, strange behavior startled Zhao Ruoying, who quickly asked, "Xiaoming, what's wrong with you?"

Mingxi clutched her chest with both hands, looking at Zhao Ruoying with a pained expression, "My heart is broken."

Zhao Ruoying: "..."

Chu Yu chuckled and pinched Mingxi's cheek, then smoothed his hair at the temples. "Mom, Mingxi has been a little concerned about his weight lately. When you talk to him, please don't mention the word 'fat'."

Zhao Ruoying: "..."

Shi Peilan: "..."

Zhao Ruoying took a deep breath and said with a smile, "Xiaoming, you're so slim, why would you care about your weight?"

Mingxi pulled Chu Yu's hand to her cheek and muttered, "My wedding with Brother Chu is in two months, and I have to be in top form."

Chu Yu curled the corners of his lips. "You're in your best condition right now."

Well! These two are all lovey-dovey again.

Not to mention Zhao Ruoying and Shi Peilan, even Xiao Jinghe couldn't stand it.

Seeing his father lying on another father's lap playing, he immediately crawled over, huffing and pounced, landing on Mingxi's face and giving him a belly-on-belly push.

"Giggle! Baba! Ah! Hahaha!"

"Ah!" Mingxi cried out, placing her hands under Xiao Jinghe's armpits and lifting him up. She then tapped his forehead against his, saying, "You little rascal, are you trying to murder your father?"

"Hahahaha! Baba! Ba! Ah! Giggle!"

Xiao Jinghe thought Mingxi was playing with him, so he laughed even harder, waving his little hands and feet frantically, like a little piglet suspended in mid-air.

His adorable little face was so endearing that Mingxi hugged him tightly and showered him with kisses. "Daddy's sweet baby, how can you be so cute!"

"Giggle! Cluck! Giggle! Ahh!"

Zhao Ruoying was so envious that she moved closer to Mingxi and reached out her hand, "Quick, let Grandma hold you."

"Mom, I haven't hugged you enough yet."

"You've been holding him for so long, our little Jinghe wants to be with Grandma too, right? Grandma's precious baby."

"Ah! Ya! Ya! Ah!"

"Hahaha! Look, even our little Jinghe says yes."
