CHAPTER 118: CHAPTER 118: SOMEONE LIKE YOUR UNCLE...

Qin Xiao heard that and smiled, "How could I not spoil them enough?

Don’t talk about two, even more I could spoil them.

If we have daughters, then I’ll spoil them all.

If we have sons, I’ll still only spoil Mianmian. Sons shouldn’t be spoiled; I’ll let him feel a different kind of fatherly love than Mianmian!"

Xiao Li suddenly didn’t know whether it would be better to have a daughter or a son after hearing that.

Oh well, why think so much?

It’s not like you can decide whether to have a boy or a girl.

Xiao Li considered and said to Qin Xiao, "I’ll take Mianmian for a bath, you should go wash up too!"

Xiao Li’s hand had recovered, and she wanted to bathe Mianmian herself; it had been a long time.

Qin Xiao nodded, picked up Mianmian, and went upstairs. After putting Mianmian back into the bathroom of her room, he returned to his own room to freshen up.

After Qin Xiao left, Xiao Li went to run the bath, undressed Mianmian, and put her in the bathtub. Before Xiao Li even got to bathe her, Mianmian flicked water all over Xiao Li’s face...

Xiao Li got splashed and immediately looked seriously at Mianmian, "Mianmian, that’s not right, you shouldn’t splash water like that..."

Mianmian was scared by Xiao Li’s expression, she stuck a finger in her mouth, pointed towards the bathroom door with another finger, "Dad... Dad..."

Xiao Li looked at her actions and realized she must have been playing with Qin Xiao these past few days.

Originally when Xiao Li’s shoulder was dislocated, Qin Xiao didn’t bathe Mianmian properly. Xiao Li had already forbidden Qin Xiao from bathing Mianmian.

But now that her hand was injured, thinking to be nicer to Qin Xiao, she allowed him to continue bathing Mianmian, but forbade them from playing with water.

For this, she watched over them a few times, and seeing them well-behaved, she stopped keeping an eye on them, but now...

Wait...

That’s not right...

Did she just hear...?

Did Mianmian call for dad?

Curious, Xiao Li squatted in front of Mianmian, "Mianmian, did you just call daddy?

Can you say it again?"

Mianmian sucked on her finger and mumbled again, "Dad... Dad..."

Though the pronunciation was not clear, she was indeed calling dad. Xiao Li was so excited, she stood up and dialed the internal phone from the bathroom.

In the next bathroom, Qin Xiao was washing his hair. Hearing the sound, he rinsed off the foam and, without drying himself, dripping water, he went to answer the phone.

As soon as the line was connected, Xiao Li’s excited voice rang out, "Uncle, Mianmian called daddy!"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiao tossed the phone, donned a bathrobe, and rushed out of the bathroom.

Just a minute after hanging up, Qin Xiao had burst into the bathroom of Mianmian’s room.

Qin Xiao took a few quick steps in and crouched in front of Mianmian, "Mianmian, call daddy again..."

But at this moment, Mianmian looked at them for a long time and didn’t say a word...

Xiao Li pondered for a bit, sprayed some water at Mianmian, and Mianmian dodged while calling out, "Dad... Dad..."

That cry of "dad" truly made Qin Xiao overjoyed, and he quickly joined in splashing water with Mianmian.

This time, it was no longer a father-daughter battle, but a battle of the whole family.

An hour later, as Mianmian had already drifted into dreams, Qin Xiao and Xiao Li were still excitedly staying by her side.

Mianmian was already a year and a half old. They tried to guide her to speak when she was one, but she just wouldn’t utter a word.

They were anxious, but speaking is not something that happens just because you want it to.

Now that Mianmian was speaking, how could they not be excited?

After the excitement, Xiao Li was a bit sour, "Mianmian called you first, as expected! The dad who plays with her all day is better than the mom who only manages her..."

Qin Xiao chuckled softly upon hearing this, "It’s not like that at all; Mianmian called dad first because I teach her to call me daddy when we’re together alone."

Of course, Qin Xiao wasn’t actually doing that; he said it to balance Xiao Li’s feelings.

Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Xiao’s words, Xiao Li retorted with disdain, "So you were breaking the rules, that’s too much!"

Qin Xiao laughed quietly and got up from the bed, "Next time, you can teach the child first. I won’t compete with you.

It’s late, let’s go back to our room to rest!"

Saying that, Qin Xiao went to Xiao Li’s side and reached out to her, as they were lying on either side of Mianmian.

Xiao Li grabbed Qin Xiao’s hand and got up from the bed. When she stood in front of him, she said, "It’s a deal! The next kid has to call mom first."

Qin Xiao nodded with a smile, "Alright."

They turned off the lights in Mianmian’s room, closed the door, and went back to their room. Returning, Xiao Li asked Qin Xiao, "Uncle, did you finish showering earlier?"

Qin Xiao shook his head, "No, I just washed my hair."

Xiao Li responded, "Then go finish your shower first!"

Qin Xiao held Xiao Li and headed straight to the bathroom, "Let’s shower together..."

The next day, Xiao Li went to work with hickeys on her neck. Before, she used to shyly cover them, but now she just doesn’t!

This is the uncle’s proof of love for her, what’s there to cover?

Colleagues in the respiratory department were powerless to comment upon seeing the marks on her neck.

Dai Zihan was more straightforward; she looked at Xiao Li’s neck and said directly, "Little Li Li, I’m going to find the director to change my shift, let him help me swap away from your shifts. I don’t want to have duty with you!"

Xiao Li put her arm around Dai Zihan’s shoulder and laughed, "Good Zihan, we only have two days together on duty a week, do you really want to change shifts? Would you miss me?"

Dai Zihan pretended to spit, "Oh, stop it! I would really miss you now, but changing shifts is not something I can demand.

I’m a poor soul who tirelessly works every day, and gets emotionally hurt by a heartless person like you..."

As she spoke, Dai Zihan put on a look of injury, but Xiao Li didn’t want to watch her act and lightly patted her shoulder, "Alright, that’s enough!

We should go hand over shifts. If you don’t want to be hurt by me, hurry and find a partner."

Xiao Li spoke as she walked forward, and Dai Zihan followed closely behind, texting Feng Qing in complaint as she replied, "Do you think finding a partner is that easy?"

Xiao Li’s phone chimed once, she knew Dai Zihan was texting, so she didn’t take it out to check. Hearing Dai Zihan’s words, she just chuckled, "It’s pretty easy! I didn’t need much effort. Want me to introduce someone?"

Dai Zihan rolled her eyes fiercely at this, "Oh, stop it! You didn’t know anyone in B City, aside from people at the hospital, I know more than you."

Xiao Li turned and said, "I might not know, but uncle knows plenty of people!"

Dai Zihan shook her head vigorously, "Oh, stop it!

Your uncle’s level, I can’t handle it!"

Xiao Li chuckled and shook her head with amusement.
