Chapter 323: Coaxing the Child

"Don't look for me; my daughter is still being coaxed by her mother."

Su Yi only knows how to argue with Su Yu, and never wins!

They actually have won before, but each time they win they get beaten by their brother, and each time they lose they get scolded by their brother. After winning once, they no longer want to win!

Thinking of that, Su Yi took a big bite of watermelon!

Shi Xu pulled a piece of watermelon from Su Yi's desk and placed it before his crying daughter, "Baby, do you want to eat the watermelon?"

Su Yi asked a very practical question, "Does she have teeth?"

The watermelon is very soft, but you still need teeth to bite, right?

"She hasn't grown them yet!"

Shi Xu saw his daughter finally stop crying, quickly skewered a tiny piece of watermelon with a bamboo skewer and let Jiu Jiu bite.

Jiu Jiu clutched Shi Xu's hand that held the watermelon with one little hand, and with the other little hand grabbed the bamboo skewer, pulling the watermelon into her mouth.

Shi Xu watched his daughter's little tongue curl and curl, and his loving father's heart overflowed.

"Su Yi, quick, take photos and record a video of my daughter, she's really too cute!"

Su Yi set the watermelon down, picked up the phone and snapped two click click photos, then recorded a video.

Jiu Jiu's gaze followed only the watermelon.

After she finished the whole watermelon, she let out a Wow and cried again!

Shi Xu was stunned!

"No, what's wrong, baby, why are you crying again?"

Shi Xu tried to pick up the child to soothe her, and found her clothes were wet.

Shi Xu hurriedly carried her into the room to change her clothes.

Changing clothes was also a battle; Jiu Jiu wailed and cried, flailing arms and legs, completely ignoring her old father's well‑being!

When Shi Xu emerged again holding Jiu Jiu, Su Yi saw a resentful face.

"Yo, what's up?"

Su Yi still remembered how Shi Xu had been so proud when he first came over holding his daughter today!

Now? Someone who didn't know would think he came to collect a debt!

"Shh, fell asleep!"

Shi Xu definitely didn't want to coax the still‑crying Jiu Jiu again!

Too hard!

It's really too hard!

In the room on the other side, Ji Yan shook her lower leg and said, "See, I told you it could work!"

Mingmeng still felt uneasy, "She cried for quite a while just now."

"You know the sunk cost, right? The more time and energy a child's father invests, the harder it is for him to let go of the child."

Ji Yan worried that Mingmeng, after painstakingly raising the child, would grow old herself and then blame Shi Xu for not taking care of the child.

That would be a joke!

Mingmeng ultimately didn't go. She thought of Shi Xu, who goes to work and out to hang with his brothers carefree, and she wanted to be that carefree too!

Shi Xu had the baby with him for most of the day; by dinner time, he thought his wife would hand the child over, but instead she placed Jiu Jiu's supplemental food next to him.

"Wife, are you feeding or should I?"

"You feed her, today you two got along pretty well!"

Before the switch, Guoguo would always raise her hand excitedly to say she could feed. After a whole day of training today, Guoguo just wants to finish eating and go to sleep.

"Mom, can I skip training?"

"Don't like this teacher?"

Guoguo nodded and shook her head, "I like the big sister who gives me massages, I don't like that teacher!"

"Then have the big sister teach you?"

"Hmm?"

Guoguo was shocked!

"What would the big sister teach me? Massage?"

"The same as what you learned today."

"Why study?"

Mingmeng paused while adding a dish for Guoguo, "You didn't know that the kids who come here are all here for training?"

Guoguo thought carefully, "I guess so, the three older sisters are all training. The only one not training is the under‑one‑year‑old sister right in front of me!"

"Will the little sister come again in the future?"

"Probably, it depends on your grandfather's arrangement!"

Jiu Jiu's household registration is tied to Mingmeng's parents, and she will inherit the Ming family's assets in the future.

Guoguo will inherit Shi Xu's assets.

Guoguo looked at Mingmeng expectantly, "Can I skip the training?"

Mingmeng tossed the pot at Shi Xu, "Ask your dad."

Guoguo looked at Shi Xu expectantly, "Dad?"

Shi Xu fell silent, "We'll talk after your little sister finishes eating!"

Guoguo thought, since the training is only tomorrow, and happily ate the dry rice!

After a tiring day, Guoguo, full, wanted to sleep, but Mingmeng forcefully pulled her out for a walk to aid digestion.

She returned from the walk and saw Su Yu and the others wearing gloves and hitting a sandbag.

Bang bang bang!

Guoguo comes up to Su Yu, "Xiao Yu sister, your sandbag is so tiny, it's far worse than the one on TV!"

Su Yu looks up, signals the butler to hand her Guoguo's gloves.

"Here, your gloves."

Guoguo looks at the gloves, feeling a bad premonition.

"Sister, besides the gloves, what else have you prepared for me?"

"Not me—it's the teacher and the parents who prepared it for you."

Guoguo's age is about the same as when Su Yu came here to train. The butler receives the data and just tweaks the equipment Su Yu never used!

Guoguo's eyes go black, "Dad!"

Guoguo rushes back to the room, "Dad, can't I skip training? I'm so tired!"

While changing Jiu Jiu's diaper, Shi Xu doesn't even look up, "No!"

Wah—!

Guoguo cries on the spot for Shi Xu to see!

Shi Xu seizes the chance to make a request, "If you go to school, you won't have to train."

Guoguo instantly falls silent! She honestly goes down to ask Su Yu for advice, how to make it easier!

"The faster you learn, the easier it gets, but the teacher might teach you more!"

Su Yu and the other two are great examples! The better they learn, the higher the difficulty!

Guoguo tilts her head, "I'm not scared!"

Nothing is more exhausting than studying!

Su Yu, as someone who's been through it, taught Guoguo many techniques, letting her learn a bit faster.

Guoguo listens attentively, and after listening she continues learning with Su Yu.

Liang Yan and Tang Can watch nearby, offering guidance from time to time.

At night's rest period, Su Yu and the other two go back together.

"Hope Guoguo sister won't regret it!"

Su Yu thinks of the teacher's special training, feeling exhausted all over.

Tang Can lifts the corner of his lips, "Maybe the more setbacks, the braver she gets; she's quite lively!"

Tang Can went to Su Family several times, saw Mingmeng chasing Guoguo. At that time Guoguo was only two, already ran very fast!

Now she's three, she can't be running slower, right?

"She seems not to have been hit much at three?"

"Aunt Mingmeng swapped the door for a smart lock; she can't open it, so she can only run around the house."

Tang Can obviously didn't see.

Liang Yan is curious, "Why does she have so many mishaps to get into?"

Liang Yan, who has always been praised by dad for being very well‑behaved, never expected there were so many odd ways to cause trouble. She thought she had already been quite naughty before.

She didn't expect there'd be even naughtier kids!

Liang Yan thinks to herself, "Dad didn't lie to me, I really am so well‑behaved!"

"Maybe life is boring, you need to find some fun?"

Not knowing the three sisters are discussing Guoguo's bathing and sleeping!

Since you're already here, it's so late, better go to bed early!

The next morning, after finishing her run, Su Yu heard a howl like a pig being slaughtered!

I found that a ten‑month‑old child can eat watermelon, and here some watermelons are very soft—just a slight press releases juice—ripe and sweet!

It's summer! Darlings, have you eaten watermelon?
