Rebirth: I Became Mr.President’s Beloved

Chapter 1274: Our Daughter Grows Up [4]

No matter how plain the little girl looks, she is still a piece of flesh that fell from one’s own body.

Plus, the way her father looks at the child, as if she is a precious gem, makes Tang Li see her daughter in a new light, not quite as ugly.

Perhaps—

This is what they call loving the house and its crows.

The Li Family came to the Capital for the child’s one-month celebration.

This time, Li Ruan didn’t come; instead, Li Ling came as the representative to drink full moon wine.

As soon as she entered Tan Palace, Li Ling handed over the large bags to the staff and headed straight to the nursery.

Following Li Ling was a string of younger relatives.

—They all came to the Capital to see the baby!

Word was that the baby born to their cousin looked exactly like Crayon Shin-chan!

If they don’t come to see, they might regret it for life!

A crowd of people rushed into the nursery, and upon hearing the baby was with her mom nursing, they all hurried to the master bedroom.

Tang Li had just finished nursing her daughter and handed the baby to the wet nurse when the bedroom door was knocked open. Li Ling peered in first: "Is now a good time for me to see the baby?"

Tang Li had already heard that Li Ling and the others would be visiting.

So, seeing this aunt didn’t surprise Tang Li.

It’s reasonable for elders to want to see the baby.

Tang Li had no reason not to let them see her.

After handing the baby to Li Ling, Tang Li herself went to the bathroom to wash her hands.

Upon coming out, she saw Li Ling holding the baby in an unspeakable manner.

"Wasn’t it said this child looks like McDull?"

Tang Li: (¬_¬)

Li Ling looked up at Tang Li and didn’t hide her disappointment: "I don’t see it; she’s rather ordinary, nothing notable, nothing that shines at first glance."

Tang Li: "..."

Realizing Li Ling was there for a laugh, Tang Li reached out: "Give my baby back."

"I just got a hold of her, why are you in such a hurry?" Li Ling patted the baby’s swaddle, turned her back.

With a slight glance away, Tang Li noticed Li Ling’s feet slowly moving towards the door, seemingly trying to sneak out with the baby. This thought crossed Tang Li’s mind, and she quickly grabbed Li Ling’s strap dress: "Where are you taking the baby?"

Li Ling, her top pulled wide: "......"

Even though she’s no longer a little girl, she still cares about saving face!

"Fine!" She thrust the baby back into Tang Li’s arms, "Here, is this fine?"

Looking down at her daughter, Tang Li saw the little girl yawning, eyes closed, with a small mouth, small fists, pampered by her dad and grandma for a month, her skin had become delicate, and her head less irregular, showing early signs of a beauty in the making.

Just then, the door was knocked twice again.

A small head appeared through the crack.

Tang Li recognized it as her ten-year-old cousin from Sixth Aunt’s family.

The little cousin grinned at Tang Li and then looked at Li Ling, who spoke bluntly: "Why are you looking at me? I don’t have Crayon Shin-chan here. If you want to see Crayon Shin-chan, talk to your cousin."

At Tan Palace, there’s a home theater.

On weekends, Song Jingtian watched quite a few movies there.

Small requests like watching cartoons, Tang Li could surely fulfill.

"I’ll have the staff take you to the East Wing on the second floor."

Tang Li placed her daughter on the Imperial Consort’s Couch, picked up the phone on the side table, just about to dial the intercom, when her little cousin ran up to her, "Cousin Tang, is it really okay?"

Li Tang is the name Tang Li recorded in the Li Family’s genealogy.

Since she had her own child, Tang Li had grown more patient with these little carrot heads.

With a gentle smile, she patted her cousin’s head: "Of course it is."

As she spoke, the intercom was connected.

Holding the receiver, before Tang Li could instruct the staff, her little cousin had already stepped forward, picking Song Xiaohua up from the Imperial Consort’s Couch, quickly bundling her up, ready to leave.

Tang Li: "..."

The scene also shocked the wet nurse.

How strong could a ten-year-old be?

The wet nurse quickly moved forward, trying to retrieve the baby.

However, the little cousin refused to let go, "Cousin Tang said it’s okay."

The wet nurse explained, "Ma’am meant it’s okay to watch Crayon Shin-chan, not to take the baby away."

The little cousin adhered to his own strict logic: "Cousin Tang told me to go to the East Wing, isn’t that asking me to take the baby there?" Saying this, he turned to look at Tang Li: "Cousin Tang, isn’t that right?"

Tang Li: "..."

What else was unclear.

McDull was her daughter, Crayon Shin-chan was also her daughter!

The commonality between McDull and Crayon Shin-chan is just the big cheek.

Even though the plot was advancing rapidly, the Li Family members were still stuck in the first episode.

For this reason, Tang Li specially posted a notice in the Li Family group chat, and @everyone: "Song Xiaohua has a goose egg face, like me; a high nose bridge, taking after her father; very fair skin, double eyelids, a very perfect egg-shaped back side, hope everyone refrains from spreading or believing rumors."

Li Ling was the first to respond: "Oh."

Twenty seconds later, Sixth Aunt: "Oh."

A minute later—

Second Cousin Brother: "Oh."

Fifth cousin: "Oh."

Third Aunt: "Oh."

Big Uncle: "Wasn’t it a flat nose and forehead?"

Such stereotypes, Tang Li had to help her daughter thoroughly dispel.

She specially took a watermarked photo of her daughter, intending to upload and @Big Uncle, but spent quite a while in the group member list and couldn’t find Big Uncle’s name.

And then—

Tang Li noticed a change in the group member count.

Five minutes ago, it was 225 people, now it’s 224.

Tang Li @group leader Sixth Aunt: "Where’s Big Uncle?"

Sixth Aunt: "Oh, I kicked him out, can’t stand people who are always so earnest and honest!"

Tang Li: "..."

Whether the Li Family believes it or not, Tang Li didn’t dwell on it anymore.

Although Song Xiaohua’s one-month celebration was set for only three tables and the guests were close relatives, Song Xiaohua, as the main character, would certainly make an appearance. After tomorrow evening, those rumors would naturally be dispelled.

At eight in the evening, Song Baiyan returned to the living area.

Opening the door to the master bedroom, his eyes met a bed full of little clothes.

Tang Li was there matching outfits for her daughter for the evening.

The clothes bought earlier by Song Ru could now be worn.

As for Song Xiaohua, she was lying in the middle of the pile of clothes, her two little chubby feet curled up, eagerly munching on her little hands.

Having bathed already, the little one was in a fine cotton dress, with double-layer floral edges and cute rabbit embroidery, making one’s heart instantly tender upon sight.

Since the child’s birth, beside the master bed, there was an additional crib.

Though they hired a nanny, most nights the child still stayed in the master bedroom.

"Let Daddy see if Xiaohua grew taller today."

Song Baiyan picked up his daughter for some playful teasing.

The little one, who had been preoccupied with chewing her hand, clearly recognized her father who changed her diapers every night, unexpectedly lifted up, wasn’t scared, blinked her big grape-like eyes, grinned and giggled.

Whenever Song Xiaohua was happy, Tang Li had to guard against her peeing.

At this moment, the child wasn’t wearing a diaper.

The lesson from the previous afternoon was still fresh.

—Song Baiyan had gotten peed on by his daughter in the office.

—

Goodnight!
