But that smile, in Xia Liyou's words, was so charmingly bashful.
Ou Chengtian was proving that his superior genes had produced an excellent son.
He was teasing Little Xuewei with a toy, and sure enough, she responded.
This left Xia Ziqian quite devastated as he said in a low voice, "Mummy, I guess my little brother isn't stupid; he just doesn't like us."
Xia Liyou and Xia Ziqian felt the same way and felt instantly abandoned.
But later, they realised that Little Xuewei wasn't just indifferent to them, she was indifferent to everyone except Ou Chengtian. This revelation mollified them.
After all, Xia Liyou was her mother, who had borne her with much hardship. It was surprising that the child favoured her father so much and completely ignored her mother.
This left Xia Liyou rather disgruntled. Although Xia Ziqian comforted her, she felt slightly better.
Time passed in days full of joy. Before they knew it, Luo Ai'ai's child had already turned one.
