622 Things You Cant Buy (1/2)

'I don't want to talk to you. You only love that little devil in your arms. Don't ever talk to me again!'

Xin Zimen had just entered through the main door when he heard his little princess's aggrieved voice as her small feet ran down the stairs. She was so distracted that he thought she'd fall. And she did...

His heart lurched as he ran over to hold her. Thankfully, she didn't fell but it didn't decrease the intensity of the scare he just got. Kneeling on the floor, his arms hugged his baby girl in his arms, pressing her tightly against his chest. The little girl didn't even struggle in his arms and even tried to wrap her small arms around his neck as she sobbed.

As her hot tears fell on his neck, he felt like he was burned. He pushed her slightly to see her face that had scrunched up and big tears were hanging on her eyelashes. She looked really pitiful as she sniffled.

His heart broke at the sight. Wiping her tears, he asked, 'What happened to my baby? Who hurt my baby?' He picked her off the ground as he went on, 'Did my baby get scared from the fall?'

The little girl shook her head as she pointed her tiny finger towards the top of the stairs and complained, 'She made me cry.'

Xin Zimen followed the direction of her finger and found his wife standing there, with Ah-Si held close to her bosom. He frowned as he asked, 'What did mommy do to baby? Tell daddy, I'll solve everything.'

'You promise you'll punish her?' asked the little girl in her aggrieved tone.

Xin Zimen pressed his lips together. He neither had the heart to say anything to his wife nor did he had the heart to lie to his daughter. He was really stuck. So, he chose the safest route, 'First, tell daddy what happened?'

'Yesterday, baby wanted to take something from the dressing table and mommy said I can't have it because I might lose it.' Her big black eyes looked accusingly at her mother who had descended the stairs with a subtle smile on her face. 'Today, that little devil in her arms actually broke everything on her dressing table and she didn't even care!' Her eyes squinted at her little brother in her mother's arms as she added, 'This only proves one thing... Li bro said that once I was born, he no longer was mommy daddy's favorite and now, I know... since this little devil's birth, mommy daddy don't care about the baby.'

'Aiyo... How is that possible? Baby is always mommy daddy's favorite.' Xin Zimen tried to coax his daughter who refused to listen.

'Then why did mommy treat me and Ah-Si differently? I only wanted to try on her jewelry and she didn't let me. And this little one actually broke such expensive things and she didn't say anything. This is so not right!'

Xin Zimen turned his eyes towards his wife as he said, 'Why didn't you just let her use your jewelry?'

Xin Zimen frowned at his wife, 'So? Even if she lost it, we can buy again.'

'Exactly!' added his daughter who was yet not over her tantrum.

Wen Ai narrowed her eyes at her husband making him take a step back as she said, 'Don't tell me you don't recognize these earrings?' Before he could answer, she looked at her daughter and very patiently spoke, 'Baby, there are two types of things in life. One you can buy with money and one that you can't buy with money.'
