Liang Tao took a breath and said, "You child, even small tasks are done carelessly. Did you get burned?"

"No." She forced a smile.

"Hey, you still say you can take good care of Xiaoxiao... Come, come, sit down and keep Xiaoxiao company, don’t wander around anymore."

Liang Anya had to sit by the hospital bed and only then noticed several brand-new plush toys beside Xiaoxiao’s pillow, clearly just bought, with the tags still on. She asked, puzzled, "What’s this?"

"It’s Rex who was thoughtful. He just called and had his assistant help buy them." Liang Jue said with a smile.

"Anya, look at this. Even Rex is more considerate than you. An unmarried man understands what children like, and you, as a mother, should learn more from him." Liang Tao reprimanded.

She gritted her teeth; anyway, whatever this man did was right in front of Daddy and brother.

"Rex, having never been a father, you might not realize that these plush toys are at least for toddlers over two years old. Xiaoxiao is merely a six-month-old baby, and playing with these plush toys can easily attract dust mites and cause lung or throat diseases, which is unsuitable." She couldn’t help but criticize.

"It doesn’t matter; then just throw them away." He shrugged, not hesitating, and picked up the plush toys, placing them on the sofa.

Liang Tao couldn’t help but exchange a silent look with his son. Why did Anya always clash with Rex?

Their conversation was filled with tension.

However, ever since Rex first arrived at the Liang Family, their relationship seemed a bit abnormal, not quite like a simple client relationship.

Liang Jue secretly tugged his daddy, pulling him out.

"Daddy, do you think there’s something wrong between little sister and Rex?" Liang Jue said quietly, peeking inside through the crack in the door.

"You just realized? I think Rex might have intentions towards your sister beyond a client relationship."

"Hmm?"

"I feel Rex wants to pursue Anya; I’ve asked Anya, but she just won’t admit it."

Liang Jue suddenly understood, "True, I mean, if it were an ordinary client or even a friend, they wouldn’t be as good as Rex is to us... But Anya doesn’t seem interested in him."

"It’s more than disinterest; Anya outright rejects him."

Liang Jue felt sorry, "Rex is handsome, well-off, and treats Xiaoxiao like his own daughter. I don’t know why sister dislikes him... If I were a girl and met a guy like that, I’d have been all over him ages ago." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"Well, as long as your sister doesn’t like him, we can’t force it. Let things take their course." Even so, Liang Tao felt a slight regret.

After all, finding a man to whom the Liang Family father and son would willingly entrust their only precious jewel wasn’t easy.

...

While the father and son were whispering outside the ward, inside.

Si Yuheng glanced outside, breaking the silence with a playful tone, "Guess what your dad and they are talking about."

Liang Anya ignored him, her eyes fixed on Xiaoxiao’s rosy sleeping face.

He continued on his own, teasingly, "I guess they’re talking about us. Maybe they’re lamenting your poor taste for not even accepting a man like me."

Liang Anya clenched her teeth and finally couldn’t help but glare at him, "Besides being an obsessive and violent maniac, you’re also a narcissist."

He paid no mind to her sarcasm, squinting, "It seems you haven’t even told your family about the marriage. What, is your marriage to the professor real, or just trying to fool me?"

Her expression changed slightly, and she quickly said, "I’m just afraid Daddy will blame me for marrying hurriedly. After a while, when Pinhao and my daddy are more familiar, I’ll tell them, and you don’t need to worry!"

"Really, I actually feel your daddy is more familiar with me." He couldn’t hide the pride in his calm tone.

She was about to retort when the little meatball on the bed wriggled a bit.

Xiaoxiao fluttered her eyelashes awake, her little soft mouth moving, and she started to sob.

Their attention immediately focused on the little rosy bundle on the bed.

"Baby woke up," Liang Anya immediately picked up her daughter, blowing on the little meatball’s hand, "Don’t cry, don’t cry. Does it hurt from the injection earlier?"

Xiaoxiao kept crying, appearing very fussy, twisting around.

"What’s wrong with Xiaoxiao, feeling uncomfortable somewhere?" Truthfully, she felt guilty; ever since Xiaoxiao was born, it was her daddy taking care of everything, and she’d barely been hands-on. Later, work got busier, and she spent even less time with Xiaoxiao, so she completely couldn’t tell what Xiaoxiao’s cries meant. If daddy wasn’t around, she felt helpless.

Xiaoxiao continued to cry unabashedly, her face red from wailing.

"Alright, alright, mommy will get a nurse..."

Si Yuheng couldn’t bear it any longer, his face as hard as iron: "Take a look at her pants!"

It’s a wonder this woman is a mother, and yet less capable of taking care of a child than he is!

Liang Anya froze, realizing, and this time, she didn’t argue, taking off Xiaoxiao’s pants.

A pungent smell immediately spread through the room!

"You little rascal, so you wet yourself..." She smiled wryly, quickly rummaging through the handbag her daddy brought for diapers.

"Waa waa..." Xiaoxiao turned her little body, crying even harder.

Liang Anya knew the little meatball was uncomfortable with the wet diaper and went to the restroom to fetch a basin of hot water.

As she came out, she paused; Si Yuheng was sitting by the bed, putting a diaper on the little meatball with her bare bottom.

She stood there blankly, watching his every move.

This man she always feared and resisted, now like a fierce beast gently tending a soft, delicate creature, poured out unprecedented tenderness.

Even afraid of hurting the little meatball, he was a bit clumsy.

Realizing it, she hurried over, put down the basin, and took the diaper, "This is my job. No need to trouble you."

With one sentence, she firmly distanced herself from him.

The air filled with a cold estrangement again.

He stood up, gazed at her, unexpectedly didn’t make things difficult for her, a cold smile appearing as he sat on the sofa.

She cleaned Xiaoxiao up, put on a clean diaper, and calmly said, "Sorry for taking up so much of your time; I guess you can leave now."

"Do you think I’ll leave while Xiaoxiao isn’t well?" He sneered.

"You—"

At this moment, the door opened, and Liang Tao, his son, and a pediatrician entered.

Liang Anya quickly shut her mouth, acting as if nothing happened, stood up, "Are Xiaoxiao’s blood test results out?"

"Yes," Liang Tao said, his tone seemingly carrying something not quite calm.
