Chapter 1572 - 1574

Zhao Xuran looked at Gong Ruzhi’s desolate figure and laughed unkindly, "Let him talk to Pingping."

Knowing that the little master was unwilling to use diapers really put him in a tough spot. "Now you know it’s hard, right?"

At first, he would often forget about this, not paying attention to what Pingping was calling. By the time he realized, Pingping had already peed.

After a few times, even when Zhao Xuran was working or handling files, he would stay alert, worried that the little lord might take an unconventional route again.

Gong Ruini felt she should thank Gong Ruzhi. If it weren’t for him, she wouldn’t know when to discuss with Pingping.

"Do you think Pingping can understand what An An is saying?" She really didn’t understand. No matter how An An spoke, Gong Ruini could only guess whether the little princess was happy or unhappy from her excited expression.

"Last time I saw An An’s mouth moving. I thought she was going to call me ’mom’." Remembering the day Pingping called her ’mom’, An An also crawled over, her face flushed red, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t call out.

Gong Ruini claimed not to be disappointed, but seeing her daughter so excited, what could she do? Other than hugging her daughter and comforting her by saying it’s okay, what else could she do?

As days passed by, Gong Ruini wouldn’t call it despair, but at least she was really worried.

"Don’t worry, our An An will talk." Zhao Xuran turned his head and saw his wife looking like she was on the verge of tears, so he reached out and hugged her.

"Mom says some children just speak late."

"Maybe when An An talks, she will speak in full sentences right away."

"She has a smart mom and a brother who’s particularly good at coaxing. Do you think An An will lag behind?"

Talking about sentences, Gong Ruini couldn’t help but laugh, "How am I smart?"

"It’s okay, we just have to wait. At least An An’s condition is better than we initially thought." Gong Ruini knew she was really overthinking it.

In fact, according to their initial thoughts, as long as An An survived, it was enough. Now they’re already worrying about An An not speaking, definitely overthinking.

"Yeah, as long as An An is alive, it’s fine." As for whether or not speech is important? From the outside world, it seems significant, but to them, it’s genuinely not important.

Gong Ruini felt heavy-hearted. When she later held An An to make a wish on the cake, Gong Ruini only had one wish, that An An would talk soon.

After a whirlwind of preparations, they finally got everything ready before the chosen auspicious time.

"I’ll go help Pingping change clothes." Gong Ruini checked the time and planned to go help change clothes but saw Gong Jiaxin and Gong Ruzhi each carrying a little red-clad child out.

"Sis, these clothes really look nice." Gong Ruzhi couldn’t help but kiss the plump white nephew in his hands, who looked even more white and chubby after wearing the red bellyband.

An An was quiet and well-behaved at the moment, causing Gong Ruzhi to forget all the previous troubles she gave him.

Thinking of it, Gong Ruzhi decided to act without hesitation, gave the baby a kiss and quickly handed over the prepared gift before the child started to cry.

Seeing the item in his hand, Pingping quickly held back his tears. The speed at which he switched made Gong Ruzhi want to tap his nose again.

But recalling the significant task today, he held back. It’s almost time for the child to grab objects; there really can’t be any slip-ups.

If the little baozi’s crying face was seen at home, he’d definitely get a call asking about the situation, which Gong Ruzhi really couldn’t handle.

"Gift." Pingping, after touching the gift in his hands for a long time, slowly handed it to Gong Ruini.

If this kid’s expression was a bit more sincere, Gong Ruini would really like it. Unfortunately, his expression management was lacking, and the reluctance was obvious.

Gong Ruini accepted it with a teasing tone, "Mom will keep it for you."

"Don’t worry, mom won’t take your stuff." It’s not like we don’t have money; is it necessary to take a child’s belongings?

Immediately, his face lit up with a bright smile, his hand straightened, amusing everyone.

"You little rascal." Zhao Xuran grabbed his son and tapped his nose unceremoniously, "If you don’t give it to mom, do you know where to put it?"

Even though Pingping and the others have their own rooms, do they know how to tidy up?

Pingping nodded repeatedly, indicating he also had a place to put things, which amused Zhao Xuran greatly. Wasn’t it he who arranged their rooms? How would he not know if his son’s room had a place to store things?

"There really is." Gong Ruini discovered it by accident once, which left her dumbfounded.

Oh, no way. Looking at the adorable Pingping in his arms, Zhao Xuran really wanted to ask, "Brother, are you a mouse? You’ve learned to dig holes."

"Okay, okay, time’s up." Gong Jiaxin checked the time and hurriedly instructed Gong Ruini and everyone to get ready.

"Hey, Ni Zi, you haven’t showered."

"And you haven’t washed your hair or changed clothes." According to Gong Jiaxin’s plan, Gong Ruini should have already prettied herself up.

She needed time for bathing, hair washing, and changing clothes. Even though she woke up early, why was she still busy up until now? Gong Ruini was truly confused.

Originally wanting to make a grand appearance, now seeing time was running out, Gong Ruini decided to disregard, "I’ll go change clothes."

Though she couldn’t shower, she had to change clothes. This was Pingping and An An’s most important moment, also Gong Ruini’s crucial moment.

Oh, clearly a grand wedding should come first, then the baby’s month-old or first-year banquet, yet she never held a wedding, leaving Gong Ruini somewhat low-spirited.

Even as Gong Ruini kept comforting herself that not having a wedding wasn’t important, but rather her man’s attitude toward her, there was still a hint of discomfort.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Xuran, sensitive, noticed Gong Ruini wasn’t quite right after changing clothes, leaving him puzzled.

What could Gong Ruini do, admit she was thinking about a wedding?

According to the plan, during summer vacation, they would hold a simple wedding in the United States, a casual and warm one.

But now it’s impossible. With the whole family involved, who knows how those hidden enemies would react? They would surely jump out and cause chaos.

"I was just thinking Pingping and they are already one year old, we are really getting old." Gong Ruini touched her face, full of worries, "Maybe in another twenty years, they will also get married and have children, oh dear."

Though Gong Ruini mentioned it offhandedly, saying it out loud stunned her. If Pingping and An An both married early, she could be a grandparent before 50, oh my god, Gong Ruini was astounded.

She really couldn’t imagine that scenario, feeling like she should still be middle-aged, yet she might become a grandmother, it’s so terrifying.
