Bai Zhi’er instantly beamed with joy upon hearing that.
She turned around and dashed out in quick steps.
"Third Brother~" Her little voice was as sweet and soft as could be.
So much so that a vein bulged on the forehead of the Eldest Heir, Bai Xuanmo.
Bai Zhi’er plunged into Bai Yaoyu’s arms.
Today, the Third Young Master was dressed in a robe of royal blue silk, which accentuated his slender figure, exuding a noble aura of youthful charm.
Especially with his hair tied up with the White Jade crown, making his features even more striking and his teeth gleaming white.
Bai Yaoyu squatted down and embraced Bai Zhi’er fully.
He inhaled the familiar milky scent from his sister and chuckled softly without stopping.
"Good Zhi’er, Third Brother has been busy these past few days and couldn’t visit you. Have you been eating well?"
Bai Zhi’er nodded repeatedly: "Yes, I haven’t missed a meal. Sometimes I even eat a little before bed!"
Her voice was soft and glutinous, thoroughly amusing Bai Yaoyu.
At this moment, someone cleared their throat unhappily.
Third Young Master Bai Yaoyu looked up and saw the Eldest Heir Bai Xuanmo, dressed in red, leaning against the pillar of the corridor.
Bai Xuanmo had a smile on his face, but those who knew him well knew it was a sign of his displeasure.
Bai Yaoyu placed the little one on the ground and nodded respectfully: "Elder Brother came early."
"Only a bit earlier than you. Our little sister has tasted the pastries I bought. Now she knows who truly loves her the most." Bai Xuanmo walked slowly down the steps.
His steps stopped in front of Bai Yaoyu.
Upon hearing his words, Bai Yaoyu furrowed his brows, his starry eyes glinting coldly.
The Eldest Heir Bai Xuanmo extended his hand: "Give me our sister."
Bai Yaoyu, however, hugged Bai Zhi’er tightly and slightly turned away, seemingly unwilling: "Didn’t Elder Brother arrive a while ago? I just got here and haven’t spoken much with our sister yet."
"Then I’ll hold her while you talk." Bai Xuanmo squinted his narrow eyes, his deep gaze sharp.
The two heirs locked eyes, both exuding a strong aura.
Little Bai Zhi’er was sandwiched between her two brothers, tilting her little face to look left and right.
Suddenly, she made an unexpected little sound——
"Hiccup~"
Bai Xuanmo and Bai Yaoyu both stopped, lowering their heads.
The little one’s round cheeks were red, looking a bit embarrassed.
"Uh, I just ate two red bean pastries. I’m a bit full." Bai Zhi’er quietly patted her belly.
Bai Yaoyu laughed helplessly and had no choice but to put the little one down first.
"Third Brother will walk with you, to help you digest. There will be many more delicacies at the luncheon later."
He held Bai Zhi’er’s right hand.
Seeing this, Bai Xuanmo frowned and took two steps forward, directly taking the little one’s left hand.
At first, Bai Zhi’er tried to walk a couple of steps. By the end, Bai Xuanmo and Bai Yaoyu were striding so fast it seemed like a race.
Unknowingly, the little one was lifted by the arms, swinging back and forth like on a swing.
Bai Zhi’er didn’t know what was happening; she just found it fun, her laughter as crisp and adorable as a silver bell.
By the time the Fourth Son Bai Daoyan and Fifth Heir Bai Fengqing arrived, they saw this scene.
Their elder brothers holding their sister, while the little one laughed heartily.
"Fourth Brother~ Fifth Brother~" Bai Zhi’er was the first to see them, greeting in a soft, glutinous voice.
She retracted her little hands, freeing herself from the grasp of Bai Xuanmo and Bai Yaoyu, and headed straight into Fourth Son Bai Daoyan’s embrace.
Like a kitten, she nuzzled them obediently.
Whew~ A new day for a new year, absorbing wealth~
"Fourth Brother, knowing you’d come today, Zhi Bao was too excited to sleep last night!" The little one blinked her sparkling big eyes, her little mouth seemingly sweetened with honey.
