Little Sweet Orange looked up at the tall, broad man not far away.
Wow~
That uncle was as tall as a big tree. Even with her head tilted all the way back, it was hard to see his face clearly!
He was staring at her. Did he want to eat her ice cream cone?
Little Orange subconsciously held out the cone in her hand and spoke in a tender, sweet, and childish voice, "Uncle, do you want a bite?"
The ice cream was melting, dripping a little onto her fair, chubby fingers.
Seeing this, Lu Yan strode over to her with his long legs.
He crouched down and looked at Little Sweet Orange.
Up close, the little girl was exquisitely beautiful. Her big, grape-like eyes were watery, and her fair, delicate skin was like a peeled hard-boiled egg. She was carved from jade—adorable and soft.
The moment he lowered his head, Little Sweet Orange also got a clear look at his face.
The uncle in front of her was so cool and handsome.
But he looked so familiar.
Little Sweet Orange tilted her head and thought for a moment. Suddenly, as if realizing something, her eyes widened. "Uncle, you look just like my..."
"Little Sweet Orange!" An anxious male voice rang out from behind Lu Yan.
Seeing Li Zeqian coming out of the restroom, Little Sweet Orange immediately hid the ice cream cone behind her back with a guilty conscience.
"Daddy~"
Hearing Little Sweet Orange call out for her daddy, Lu Yan glanced back.
Seeing that noble and elegant handsome face, Lu Yan slightly furrowed his sword-like eyebrows.
It was Li Zeqian.
The man Mother Jiang had wanted to set up on a blind date with Jiang Shuyin during Wen Yan and Si Moyan's wedding.
Li Zeqian didn't know Lu Yan, but when he saw Lu Yan's face, he was slightly taken aback.
He bypassed Lu Yan and walked up to Little Sweet Orange in a few quick strides. "Didn't I tell you to stand by the restroom door and not run around?"
After saying that, he noticed the ice cream cone hidden behind her back. Li Zeqian shook his head helplessly. "Little baby, you have cavities. You need to eat less sweets."
Little Sweet Orange stuck out her pink little tongue, her milky voice soft and sweet. "Wu, I'm just eating it this once. Daddy, don't tell on me."
Li Zeqian took out a tissue and wiped Little Sweet Orange's fingers. "Don't sneakily buy sweets to eat next time."
"Hehe, I definitely won't buy them next time."
Li Zeqian picked up Little Sweet Orange, preparing to leave.
Lu Yan's tall figure stepped in front to block his way. "Mr. Li, judging from your child's age, you already had a family three years ago. Why did you still go on a blind date?"
Li Zeqian looked at Lu Yan's chiseled, handsome contours and vaguely understood the meaning behind his words.
"Sir, I don't know you. Moreover, there is no need for me to report my private affairs to you."
Li Zeqian walked away carrying Little Sweet Orange.
Little Sweet Orange looked at Lu Yan. Seeing him staring at her with deep, dark eyes, she curved her eyes into a smile and raised her small hand to wave at him.
Lu Yan frowned slightly.
The way the little pink dumpling smiled bore some resemblance to a certain woman in his memory.
Lu Yan raised his large hand and rubbed his forehead.
He really must be sick!
He was clearly trying to erase that woman, Jiang Shuyin, from his mind, but now, just seeing a random little girl made him think she looked like her.
If he still couldn't forget that woman after completing this mission, he would have no choice but to accept the psychiatrist's suggestion and undergo hypnosis!
"Brother Yan, I'm ready. Let's go!"
Lu Yan took Qin Xiaoxiao's luggage, and the two walked toward the airport exit.
Seeing Lu Yan leave, Li Zeqian breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Little Yiyi came out of the men's restroom. When Little Sweet Orange saw him, she immediately leaned close to his ear and said in a milky voice, "Brother, I just saw a really cool uncle who looks exactly like you."
Although Little Yiyi and Little Sweet Orange were fraternal twins, their looks and personalities were completely different.
Little Yiyi was a miniature version of Lu Yan. Despite his young age, he had pitch-black sword-like eyebrows, thick eyelashes, deep eyes, and very exquisite, three-dimensional facial features.
He hadn't liked to smile since he was a baby. He was aloof and cold. In Little Sweet Orange's words, he wasn't cute at all.
"What cool uncle?"
Little Sweet Orange pointed at the man who was about to walk out of the airport doors. "That one over there."
Little Yiyi looked in the direction Little Sweet Orange was pointing, only to see the man's tall and cold back.
Little Yiyi looked at Li Zeqian. "Did Uncle Li see him too? That man looks like me?"
Li Zeqian nodded. "He indeed looks very much like you."
Not knowing what came to mind, Little Sweet Orange suddenly widened her large, grape-like eyes. "Brother, do you think that person could be our biological daddy?"
Little Yiyi pursed his pink lips tightly, his small face ice-cold. "The grass on our biological daddy's grave should be taller than us by now."
Little Sweet Orange knew that neither Mommy nor her brother liked her mentioning their biological daddy.
Although she was a bit curious about who her real dad was, she wouldn't like someone that Mommy and her brother didn't like.
"Yeah, yeah, our biological daddy went to heaven a long time ago." Little Sweet Orange grabbed Li Zeqian's large hand. "Uncle Li, you have to work hard and try to become our daddy as soon as possible."
Little Sweet Orange didn't want to be mocked by kids her age for not having a daddy, so whenever Mommy and her brother weren't around, she would call Li Zeqian "Daddy."
Li Zeqian smiled and nodded. "Alright, Uncle will work hard. Your mommy should be coming out soon. Let's go to the arrivals gate!"
In fact, Jiang Shuyin had gotten off the plane a while ago. Coincidentally, she had been on the same flight as Lu Yan and Qin Xiaoxiao.
It was just that she flew economy class, while those two flew business class.
She had seen the two walking ahead of her before boarding, but fortunately, they hadn't noticed her.
Therefore, after getting off the plane, she deliberately walked at the very back, dawdling for a long time before coming out.
Walking out of the arrivals gate and seeing Li Zeqian holding her two babies' hands, a smile appeared on her face. She opened her arms and ran toward them.
"Babies, did you miss Mommy?"
Jiang Shuyin didn't usually smile much, but in front of her two babies, there would always be a smile on her face.
Little Sweet Orange ran on her little legs and excitedly threw herself into Jiang Shuyin's arms. Her fair hands hugged her neck. "Missed you, missed you, missed you! I missed Mommy super much."
With that, she puckered her pink little lips and planted a loud kiss on both the left and right sides of Jiang Shuyin's face.
Holding the little pink dumpling, Jiang Shuyin's heart was about to melt into a puddle.
She also gave Little Sweet Orange a few kisses, then looked at Little Yiyi, who was standing to the side like an iceberg.
Little Yiyi looked too much like Lu Yan. Whenever Jiang Shuyin saw him, she would think of the man who had once abused and tormented her.
Over the past three years, she truly couldn't forget him even if she wanted to.
But she didn't love Little Yiyi any less because of his connection to Lu Yan.
She reached out her hands to Little Yiyi. "Baby Yi, let Mommy give you a hug."
Little Yiyi kept his hands in his pockets, his face cool and frosty. "Only childish babies need kisses and hugs."
Little Sweet Orange glared at Little Yiyi in dissatisfaction. "Brother, don't think I don't know you're calling me a childish baby!"
Jiang Shuyin smiled and pulled Little Yiyi into a hug. After rubbing his soft hair, she kissed his forehead.
Little Sweet Orange saw Little Yiyi's ears flush red at a visible speed. She smiled and made a face at him. "Brother called me a childish baby, but you actually blushed just from Mommy kissing you. You're even more childish than me!"
