435 Nothing Could Go Wrong (1/2)

*Knock! Knock! Knock!*

”Xiu!”

As soon as the door was pulled open, the little guy who didn't even reach Xiu's waist clung to her body. Xiu tussled the little guy's hair saying, ”Baby brother, I feel like you're missing me very much these days. How come you're calling me every single day?”

Jackie looked up at her with a sad expression, ”I really do miss you very much.” He held Xiu's hand and dragged her inside. ”As you can see no one cares about me in this house anymore.”

”Huh? How is that possible? Who dares to ignore my little-”

Xiu didn't have to continue as she looked at the scene before her.

In the lounge, Nora, Clara, Jing Ge, and even the housemaid, Sister Qin were all gathered around the three-year-old princess Ava who was stuck between them.

”Husband, isn't she such a cutie?” Clara was gushing over her granddaughter.

”I love her giggles,” said Jing Ge as he teased the little bun who in turn started giggling again.

Xiu looked down at the cold prince whose hand was tightening around the hem of her dress. Oh, he looked really mad.

Xiu bent down to face him and asked, ”Don't tell me my little brother is actually jealous of his niece now? That's not right. Besides, you don't even like that kind of attention.”

Jackie looked into her eyes in a bored manner, ”Attention? No thanks. She can gladly have all this attention, I don't want any share of it. But what I do want is...” Xiu raised her brows at him in question when he abruptly stopped to look at the others again and shouted, ”Mom, I'm hungry!”

”Jackson, you're old enough to get your own meals. Get something from the kitchen yourself, please.”

Xiu's lips turned into the shape of an 'o' as she gaped at Clara who didn't even look in her son's direction.

”I came back from school two hours ago and yet, no one has asked me for a meal. Because apparently, that little devil needs more attention.”

Xiu pursed her lips to hold back her laugh. Even if he said he wasn't jealous, Xiu couldn't overlook the way he was behaving. That was some level of jealousy and it was rare for Jackie. Well, anybody would feel that way when their position is threatened. And right now, Ava had already taken over Jackie's position as the youngest one in the house.

”Xiu, it's good you're here. You decide whether my granddaughter looks more like me or her mother?”

Xiu was about to walk over when Jackie held her hand and pulled her back, ”Don't you dare fall in the trap of that little devil. I won't forgive you for that!”
