Chapter 1298: Chapter 1270: Some Things Can No Longer Be Hidden

Everyone generally agrees with Mrs. Yu’s perspective, Xiaowei looks so much like her dad and yet is so cute, it’s unbelievable to anyone who sees her.

Yu Minglang felt a bit defeated; he was also recognized as a handsome man, so why did everyone remark on the cuteness with a sense of relief as if escaping a disaster?

The exaggerated part was when Qian’s mother and Mrs. Yu took Xiaowei downstairs for some sun. Some executives’ wives in the courtyard didn’t recognize them, and found the baby quite adorable, and came over to have a closer look. After a long gaze, one wife hesitantly asked:

Is this... the vice president’s daughter?

You can recognize her just from her face alone, which shows how distinctive this little face is.

Yu Minglang happened to be coming home from work and hearing this scene made him feel overjoyed; all sorts of little fireworks and celebrations exploded in his heart—he couldn’t be happier.

The sister-in-law, with her back to Yu Minglang, hadn’t seen him return, and continued:

So the vice president’s daughter is this beautiful! Previously, we quietly discussed, saying if the wife’s child was a daughter who looked like the vice president’s dark face and always looked fierce, how would she find someone to marry in the future... Now it seems we were overthinking, the child is indeed beautiful!

This sister-in-law was not very tactful in her words. She didn’t know that her sincere words at this moment "touched" the man behind her, whose face had grown even darker and fiercer as he listened to the various praises for Xiaowei.

These are not mere compliments; Xiaowei truly is beautiful. Yu Minglang was a handsome man to begin with; if the child resembles him, how could she be wrong? The wonderful thing about Xiaowei is that she develops very well—not only resembles her father but also has her mother’s gentle features in the contours, so she doesn’t give off a masculine vibe. At first glance, you know she’s a heart-melting little girl who is irresistibly adorable.

Listening to these praises, Yu Minglang felt quite pleased, but then the sister-in-law suddenly changed the subject to him, saying his appearance is too frightening, and wondered whether this adorable little girl would cry when held by him.

Mrs. Yu noticed her son standing behind, and she listened with a smile. Seeing his face going dark as if ink, she wanted to laugh but held back.

The sister-in-law finally finished gossiping and was satisfied, turning around, only to find the legendary dark-faced man standing behind her, and she shrieked, "Oh my goodness!"

Yu Minglang’s face was even colder than usual, almost freezing the sister-in-law into ice.

Scared, the sister-in-law dared not even turn her head; she just wanted to quickly return to her husband’s embrace, whimpering, feeling the city was too terrifying as her husband’s boss glared at her like a dark-faced fiend!

Mrs. Yu finally laughed out loud, it seems her son hasn’t changed his little tyrant nature even outside, look at how he scared the honest sister-in-law.

Yu Minglang snorted coldly, just about to speak, when he heard his mother and mother-in-law laughing, along with a peculiar giggle.

Everyone was originally laughing, but upon hearing this peculiar sound, they all froze. Following the sound, they saw the toothless little beauty offered her daddy her first self-initiated laugh in her baby life.

"She, she, she laughed!!"

Yu Minglang pointed at his daughter, amazed; he remembered the book said a baby’s self-initiated laughter should occur around 2 months old, right? His baby wasn’t even a month old and she could laugh audibly?

Seeing her dad so surprised, the toothless little girl giggled even more joyously.

Yu Minglang was beyond delighted, bouncing back home to share with his wife, the couple excitedly circled around the little baby, and Xiaowei gave her parents face, giggling away, while sneaking drool onto her mom’s face.

"She’s so smart!" Yu Minglang praised from the heart, he genuinely felt his daughter was so intelligent, she typically doesn’t like to cry, and laughed earlier than others.

"Indeed, she’s always been smart." Qian was also happy, although Xiaowei’s personality was somewhat different from the past life, she firmly believed this was the child from before. Sometimes when she looked into her daughter’s eyes, filled with emotion and trust, she felt it was a continuation of the kinship from back then.

"She laughed early." Yu Minglang teased the daughter, and Qian seemed to understand something.

"How could she not laugh early, there’s so much love for her."

What was owed to the child can finally be fully compensated; the daughter in her previous life was born with only her, now so many relatives guard her growth, the child will surely feel the familial love.

Qian also laughed, czlearly happy, the reward for years of effort at this moment was incredibly satisfying, all the hardships were worth it.

The days of raising children are always fulfilling and blissful, a month whisked by, Yu Minglang observed Qian’s recovery was quite good, considering something he couldn’t keep from her any longer.

So on the day Qian’s post-natal confinement ended, Yu Minglang faced her with a hesitant-to-speak expression.

Qian’s baths were limited this month, her diet less salty and more broth-focused, she finally enjoyed a relaxing fragrant bath, delightedly devoured ribs and crabs, feeling great, seeing him pacing around deeply contemplating, Qian asked.

"Are you constipated?"

"No, it’s this..."

"Hemorrhoids?"

"No!! I’m talking about Chen Lin!" Yu Minglang was embarrassed and vexed.

"Oh, Chen Lin has hemorrhoids—wait, who?"

Life was too good, Xiaowei was so adorable, her cuteness made Qian forget that Chen Lin even existed.

Hearing those two words from Yu Minglang’s mouth, Qian felt like she abruptly fell from spring into winter, as if this person shouldn’t be part of her life at all.

"Originally, you should’ve been asked to identify him before, but then you just gave birth and were physically frail, so I didn’t let them disturb you. Now there’s a problem, it’s..."

Yu Minglang had trouble speaking it out.

"You’re not worried about the sentencing issue, are you?"

Qian remembered seeing similar cases before, it was said that harming one’s own family members usually resulted in lighter sentences compared to harming outsiders. For instance, a particular university student engaged in premarital birth on campus, strangled the baby and tossed it in a toilet, sentenced to 7 years.

However, if she grabbed a random child on the street and strangled it, without death penalty she’d be facing life imprisonment.

The difference between the two is that the societal harm of injuring family is generally considered less. The specifics Qian wasn’t too clear about; she naturally wasn’t as knowledgeable as the formally trained Yu Minglang.

Yu Minglang looked at Qian in apparent dilemma, "Honey, why don’t you have another crab, stead your mind, and then I’ll tell you?"

"Go ahead, I can handle it."

"Well, he might not be sentenced."

"What the hell?! He chased me and my mom with a knife, dragged us into a deserted ravine intending to destroy evidence! I’d be dissatisfied even with a lesser sentence, and you’re telling me he’s not getting sentenced? How is that possible!!!"

Qian indeed got angry, her voice rising a bit, Yu Minglang quickly gestured for her to shush.
