The little girl was already incredibly charming, but the combination of her soft, cooing voice and those big innocent, dewy eyes made her even more lovable.
I was just about to lose control and hug her on the spot.
However, just then, a voice from behind me called out, âAy!â
I turned around and saw a woman coming out of the room, dressed appropriately and radiating a graceful aura. Based on her age and appearance, she must be the girlâs mother.
It seems the little girl was not calling me earlier, but her mother.
âOh, I forgot to introduce you, this is my sister-in-law, He XiaohuiâŠâ
Ding Yinuo finally introduced her to me.
âMom!â
After seeing the woman, the little girl ran over to her, sweetly calling out.
The woman picked up the girl and kissed her cheek,
âSweetie, you play so well.â
âMom, when can I eat my birthday cake?â
âJust a little longer, sweetie. Weâll have the cake after the candles are blown out!â
My gaze was glued to the little girlâs face, and I couldnât look away.
Gazing at the happy moment of mother and daughter hugging each other, I couldnât help but feel envious.
Ding Yinuo gently patted my shoulder.
Thatâs when I finally met his gaze, âWhatâs up?â
âDo you like her a lot?â
âSheâs adorable!â
Ding Yinuo slightly nodded his head,
âMy sister-in-law has been through a lot. After the accident with the girl, she couldnât handle the strain and collapsed. She has been suffering from depression these past few years, unable to take care of herself, and often trying to commit suicide.â
âI understand. Any mother would be devasted if their child were in an accident. Your older brother must be under a lot of pressure supporting this family.â
Ever since I walked in, I noticed that even though Ding Xiao was sitting on the couch, his gazes were all over his wife and daughter.
Where his daughter was, his gaze was there.
Where his wife was, his attention was there.
When He Xiaohui picked up her daughter, he hurriedly displayed his worry for his daughter,
âSweetie, you canât let mommy hold you for too long, her bodyâs not well. Now let daddy hold you.â
Heâs obviously a very responsible man.
âIndeed, Tianjiao Company hasnât been doing well these years and itâs visibly take a toll on my brother. Fortunately, after seeing her daughter wake up, my sister-in-lawâs health has been gradually improving.â
âThatâs good to hear!â
The Ding Family has a nice family atmosphere. Dingâs mother takes special care of her eldest daughter-in-law.
In a bit, she brought the medicine over, reminding the daughter-in-law to take her medication and sit down for a rest. Sheâs shown herself to be quite hospitable towards the guests.
âXiaosong⊠do you play Go?â
Dingâs father greeted me.
âUncle, I only know a bit!â
âThen letâs go for two rounds!â
âOkay!â
Dingâs father is very talkative and adorable. Before each move, he would tell me what he would do three moves later, just to make sure I wouldnât feel pressured.
Playing the game was very relaxing and enjoyable.
Meanwhile, Ding Yinuo watched us playâŠ
From time to time Dingâs mother would remind him,
âDonât just sit there and watch, bring some snacks for Xiaosong. Nowadays, girls like milk tea and snacks. Go and buy some!â
Soon after, she reminded him, âAsk Xiaosong if sheâs cold and give her a coat if necessary.â
Then, Dingâs mother brought in a plate of tangerines, nudged Ding Yinuo with her elbow and gave him an order.
âPeel some for Xiaosong!â
âMom, why are you bossing me around today? Can you give me a break? Youâre so nice to Xiaosong. Iâm starting to wonder if Iâm your real son or if Xiaosong is your real daughter?â
Ding Yinuo jokingly complained.
Dingâs mother gave him a smack on his head,
âYou rascal, if you donât get smarter, youâll remain single forever.â
âSingle forever? Your handsome and excellent son is worried about not finding a wife?â
âWives are meant to be treasured. Understood? Stop being cheeky, or face the wall and reflect on your behavior.â
âAlright, alright, mom. You are right, always right!â
Watching this loving mother and son bicker and tease each other, I couldnât help but laugh.
After playing two rounds of Go, Ding Yinuo brought the little girl over to me again.
âRuirui, do you find this woman attractive?â
The little girlâs innocent big eyes stared at me, flickering brightly as she seriously nodded her head, âPretty!â
âDo you want to hug her?â
âYes!â
Then Ding Yinuo lifted her up and handed her over to me.
I hesitated for a while before extending my arms to tightly hold her.
The small body in my arms surprisingly had a healing power. She made me feel warm.
As I was hugging her, she put her small arms around my neck and even kissed me on the cheek.
In the daze, I thought I heard her calling me âmommyâ.
It took me a while before I finally put her down.
âUncle, what should I call her?â
Ding Ruirui asked curiously.
âWhat do you think?â
âPretty sister?â
âAbsolutely not, you should call her âauntieâ!â fÉŸeewebnoveâ.coàč
Ding Yinuo deliberately said so. In our local customs, only when the niece calls her uncleâs wife can she be considered an aunt.
I laughed and kicked Ding Yinuo, âStop it! Youâre misleading the child.â
Upon hearing this, Ding Ruirui immediately called out, âAuntie, can I play you another song?â
âSure, thank you!â
Ding Ruirui then went towards the piano and played âFor Aliceâ again.
I was moved to tears once moreâŠ
Even though it was our first meeting, the Ding family members treated me incredibly well, as if we had been family for a long time.
There was no sense of tension, just complete relaxation.
As I was leaving, even the unwell He Xiaohui came to the door to send me off, holding my hand and saying,
âXiaosong, my brother-in-law is a good man. You wonât regret choosing him.â
Dingâs mother even gave me a big red packet. Although I didnât want to take it initially, Ding Yinuo whispered into my ear,
âIf you donât take it, my mom will think you look down on her and sheâll be upset. Every time sheâs upset, she cries half a night.â
I reluctantly accepted it, âThank you, auntie!â
Dingâs father waved at me, âXiaosong, do come over and visit often!â
Ding Ruirui was reluctant to let me leave, holding on to my hand and insisting that I promise to come see her again next Sunday, to which I agreed.
As the car pulled away, I looked in the rear-view mirror and saw the whole family still standing at the door, waving at me.

I opened the red packet and counted the content. There was a total of 10,001 yuan. I asked Ding Yinuo, âWhat does this mean?â
âOne in ten thousand! My mom is fond of you!â
âNow I finally understand why your EQ is so high!â
Ding Yinuo held the steering wheel firmly, showing me a perfect side profile, âWhy?â
âBecause your mom has a high EQ, your dad has a high EQ⊠it must be genetic! By the way, where did your niece learn the piano? She plays so well!â
âShe never had lessons!â
âWhat do you mean?â
âI mean, before the accident, she had never learned to play the piano. After she woke up from her vegetative state, she suddenly awakened many talents, like playing the piano!â
