Yan Yan - Chapter 73.2

Chapter 73.2

After feeding the baby, Bai Xingfan spent some time playing with her. However, he got a message from his assistant so he handed the little one over to the two adults and headed to the study to tackle some emails.  

Even though those two adults were a bit unpredictable, he felt reassured knowing the housekeeping aunt was around to help.  

However, he soon realized he was worrying about the wrong thing. Instead of being concerned about the little one, he should have been focused on the two adults.  

Every ten minutes or so, one of them would storm in, pointing fingers at the other and demanding a court session to settle their disputes, which left Bai Xingfan feeling quite stressed.  

Getting them to stop whining was nearly impossible—harder than convincing Master Bai to ditch fruit puree.

To tackle the situation, he handed each of them a piece of paper and asked them to jot down their complaints for now, promising to sort it out together later in the evening.  

Once they got the “blank paper,” the two finally settled down and played with Master Bai for a bit. 

Then Su Zhan suddenly remembered something and asked Bai Xinglan, “Did you finish the photography club assignment?”

They were both studying for a master’s degree in the same field at the same university, and both of them joined the photography club at the university. 

Upon hearing that, Bai Xinglan was taken aback. Instead of answering, he shot back with, “What about you?” 

Su Zhan replied honestly, “I didn’t.” 

Bai Xinglan let out a sigh of relief, saying, “Well, that makes me feel better.” 

Su Zhan was left speechless. “What the heck?!”

Bai Xinglan asked, “What kind of assignment did he give us?” 

Su Zhan answered. “Beautiful Mayday.” 

Bai Xinglan looked confused, and asked, “So we’re supposed to take pictures for Mayday?” 

Su Zhan rolled his eyes before replying, “Are you serious? They mean the seasons! The months!” 

Bai Xinglan responded, “Oh… so what are you planning to shoot?” 

Su Zhan thought for a moment, then glanced at Master Bai, who was happily playing with a doll. “Just take pictures of whatever you can.” 

Bai Xinglan followed Su Zhan’s gaze, and commented, “Do you think she’ll cooperate? I heard from my sister-in-law that last time she ate a whole bag of fruit puree before she agreed to take pictures.” 

Su Zhan remarked, “That’s pretty spoiled.” 

Bai Xinglan agreed, “Super spoiled.” 

Su Zhan asked, “Where’s her fruit puree?” 

Bai Xinglan shrugged. “No idea, you’ll have to ask her.” 

Su Zhan called out, “Bai Qiqi.” 

No response. 

Bai Xinglan tried. “Bai Huaijin.” 

Still nothing. 

‘Totally spoiled.’

Su Zhan said, “How about some fruit puree?” 

In an instant, Master Bai dropped her doll and crawled over to her uncle, excitedly exclaiming, “Ah!” 

Su Zhan: ‘How can she have such different moods at her age?’

Bai Xinglan said, “Qiqi, where’s the fruit puree? I’ll take you to eat it.”

Bai Qiqi quickly crawled over to the baby gate and knocked on the door, asking to open it. Once her Uncle Bai opened it, she scrambled out on her hands and knees. Her little diapered bottom wiggled like an adorable little dough ball. 

Meanwhile, Su Zhan and Bai Xinglan trailed closely behind Master Bai into the kitchen. Master Bai climbed onto a low step and plopped down, raising his arms and pointing at the wall cabinet, “Ah! Ah!” 

Su Zhan opened the cabinet, and pulled out a box of fruit puree, placing it on the counter. After checking it out, he exclaimed, “Wow, this is a lot, isn’t it?” 

Bai Xinglan leaned in for a look, and asked in surprise, “Why are there so many flavours?” 

Su Zhan grabbed a bag and read the label. “Banana, strawberry, and apple puree.” 

Bai Xinglan picked up another bag and checked it out. “Coconut, pineapple, and apple puree.” 

Su Zhan unscrewed the lid and took a sip through the straw. “Oh wow, this is actually really good, sweet and sour!” 

Bai Xinglan opened his bag and tried it too. “You know what? This is awesome!” 

They were so caught up enjoying the fruit puree that they completely forgot about Master Bai. 

She sat on the floor babbling away, but no one was listening. Frustrated, she turned and crawled out of the kitchen to make a complaint about her naughty uncles.

Bai Xingfan was in the middle of replying to an email when he felt a tug on his trouser leg. He glanced down to see his little one. 

Bai Qiqi was sitting on the floor with her cheeks flushed, and babbling away to her dad. 

Even though Bai Xingfan didn’t catch all the words, he knew exactly why she was there – to make her complaints. He had just wrapped up with two older kids, and now here was another little one. Feeling a bit worn out, he stood up, scooped his daughter off the ground, and headed to the kitchen as she directed.

Su Zhan and Bai Xinglan had nearly tasted every flavour of fruit puree available. 

Master Bai was feeling a bit defeated seeing that.

Bai Xingfan looked at the two grown-up men enjoying his daughter’s food, and asked, “What are you two doing?” 

Su Zhan replied, “Oh, we’re taking pictures of Bai Qiqi for the photography club’s submission.” 

Bai Xinglan added, “We’re using fruit puree as props.” 

Hearing those words, Bai Xingfan joked. “Does she need to pay you for taking pictures of hers?” 

Su Zhan laughed.  “No way! That’s not happening!” 

Bai Xinglan chimed in, “We’ll shoot Qiqi for free, no charge!” 

Su Zhan agreed, “Yep, not a single penny!” 

Bai Xingfan: “So, what’s with you stealing fruit puree from the little worker?” 

Su Zhan was left speechless. 

Bai Xinglan just stared at his brother with wide eyes.

Bai Qiqi huffed, “Humph!”
