Xiaoyun took out a bright red apple from her pocket. It was given to her by her mother before she left. She generously handed it to her brother and said, "Eat it!"

"Don't you want to have a taste?"

Dabao asked his sister with concern.

Xiaoyun nodded vigorously, with anticipation glittering in her eyes.

"Uncle, do you have a knife here?"

Dabao suddenly thought of something and turned to ask Feng Dongling, "I want to peel an apple for Xiaoyun myself!"

Seeing this, Feng Dongling suggested: "How about I help you peel it?"

"No need, uncle, I can do it!"

Dabao confidently rejected Feng Dongling's kindness.

Seeing his firm attitude, Feng Dongling stopped insisting and pointed in the direction of the kitchen, patiently instructing him: "The knife on the far left of the knife rack over there is very suitable for peeling fruit."

Hearing this, Dabao immediately dragged a small stool over and carefully placed it, while instructing Xiaoyun: "Brother will go make you delicious apple slices. Just sit here and don't run around. I'll be back soon."

Xiaoyun nodded obediently and sat upright on a small stool. Her bright big eyes were full of trust as she stared at the direction of the kitchen, waiting for her brother to return.

Feng Dongling, the man who is about to become a father, was moved by the warmth of the scene and his heart was filled with love.

He slowly squatted down and said to Xiaoyun in the most gentle voice: "Xiaoyun is such a good child, can you let your uncle hug you?"

Xiaoyun was accustomed to being hugged by visiting guests, so she naturally opened her arms to welcome Feng Dongling's hug.

Feng Dongling was amused by Xiaoyun's innocent look, with a happy smile on his face. He further teased, "How about giving your uncle a kiss?"

However, although Xiaoyun was willing to let Feng Dongling hug her, she firmly refused to kiss him. She shook her head with a serious face, as if declaring an unshakable principle: "No kissing!"

Feng Dongling was tickled by Xiaoyun's reaction and wanted to tease her even more. "Then it should be okay for me to kiss Xiaoyun, right?"

As he spoke, he slowly moved closer, ready to leave a kiss on Xiaoyun's round and cute cheek.

Seeing this, Xiaoyun's face turned red with anxiety, and she began to stutter. She quickly covered her cheeks with her hands and shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, you really can't kiss me!"

Feng Dongling pretended to be wronged and put on a hurt expression, "Does Xiaoyun no longer like her uncle?"

"I like it, but..."

Xiaoyun blinked her big eyes and explained seriously: "Dad said that other than dad and brother, no other boys can kiss Xiaoyun!"

"But uncle is different," Feng Dongling guided patiently, his tone full of tenderness and understanding, "Uncle is your relative, he is your uncle!"

Xiaoyun pursed her lips and twisted her hands together nervously. It was obvious that a fierce battle between her conscience and her desires was going on in her heart.

Just when Xiaoyun seemed to be about to compromise and agree to let her uncle kiss her,

The door was suddenly pushed open, and Xie Yi's tall figure appeared at the door.

He knew that his wife would come to visit her sister today, so he got off work early and came over to see her and prepare to take his wife and children home.

As soon as Xiaoyun saw her father, her eyes lit up immediately and she said in a clear voice, "Dad, uncle wants to kiss Xiaoyun."

She turned to look at her father, as if asking, "Can I promise him?"

Xie Yi, who was pushing the cart, suddenly froze in his movements, as if time had stopped around him.

His usually gentle eyes now became as sharp as a blade, piercing through the noise of the kitchen and locking onto Feng Dongling.

Feng Dongling felt this gaze and shuddered involuntarily. A chill seemed to start from his neck and quickly spread to his whole body, making him shrink his neck.

"Can't!"

Xie Yi's words were firm and powerful, echoing Dabao's immature but resolute response in the kitchen, forming a wonderful tacit understanding.

Almost as soon as Xie Yi finished speaking, he ignored the cart in his hands, rushed to Xiaoyun in two steps, and gently held her in his arms, his eyes full of unquestionable desire to protect her.

Dabao, still holding the half-peeled apple in his hand, stood beside his father with a tense face, staring at his uncle Feng Dongling, who had suddenly become suspicious, with a vigilant look that went beyond his years.

Feng Dongling had a look of innocence and surprise, as if he had become a sinner in the eyes of the world in an instant. The helplessness and injustice made him feel both amused and helpless.

Xie Yi's eyes were cold, and his voice was low but clearly audible: "Want to kiss my daughter?"

Each of these three words was like a heavy hammer, striking Feng Dongling's heart.

"No, no, no," Feng Dongling waved his hands hastily, with a flattering smile on his face, trying to explain, "I was just teasing her, it was a pure joke, really!"

His tone was filled with anxiety, fearing that Xie Yi would misunderstand his intentions.

Xie Yi snorted softly, turned his head and said softly to Xiaoyun in his arms: "From now on, other than dad and brother, other men can't kiss you or hug you, not even this uncle who loves to joke!"

Xiaoyun looked up, her big round eyes full of trust in her father. She nodded obediently and said in a baby voice, "Okay~"

Feng Dongling felt mixed emotions, including the frustration of being misunderstood, but also the fondness for Xiaoyun's pure innocence. He couldn't help but glare at Xie Yi, with a look that contained both helplessness and a hint of teasing.

At this time, Xu Xiufang and Xie Chunyan, attracted by the noise outside, smiled at each other and walked into the house tacitly.

Xu Xiufang explained softly, "Xiaoyun is innocent, and Brother Yi is always worried that she will be deceived, so he is very strict in protecting her."

This small disturbance caused by a small joke eventually subsided quietly amid the laughter of the family, leaving behind a deeper understanding and warmth among the family members.

"Girls really need to be more careful."

Xie Chunyan nodded in agreement, unconsciously stroking her slightly bulging belly, with a complex emotion flashing in her eyes.

Xu Xiufang keenly caught the subtle changes in Xie Chunyan's expression, and a gentle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "Do you feel a lot more relaxed? After all, Lao Feng is not the kind of person who favors boys over girls."

Xie Chunyan didn't expect that Xu Xiufang could see through the little secret in her heart at a glance. She was surprised and moved.

She thought that it was not surprising that her second brother's wife was thoughtful and able to see through people's minds.

"Yeah," Xie Chunyan nodded frankly.

Ever since she learned that she was pregnant, she had secretly hoped that it was a boy.

But this was not because she favored boys over girls, but because as the only son in Feng Dongling's family, she vaguely felt that he might prefer a boy to continue the family bloodline.
