Hercules Yan was carried to the hospital, and by the time they arrived, Ye Wan had already given birth and been pushed into the ward.
Little cub ran over, slightly excited, and asked, "Auntie Ye, where's my little brother?"
Zhou Yuyuan picked up Little cub and said, "Yan, your Auntie Ye is very tired now. Let's let her rest for a bit, okay? Grandma will take you to see your little brother."
Little cub instinctively covered her mouth and said in a small voice, "Okay! Auntie Ye, you rest well."
Ye Wan looked a bit weak but managed to smile, "Okay, your sister is with your little brother too. Yan, why don't you go play with them?"
Sui Jinhong had been there earlier, but Ye Wan had sent him to see their son.
Liu Man shook her head helplessly and set down the ready-to-eat nutritional food she had brought. She said to Zhou Yuyuan, "Madam Zhou, you stay here and look after Madam Sui. We'll take Yan to see the little one."
She could understand that Zhou Yuyuan was worried that Little cub would feel neglected, which was why she was being extra attentive to Little cub. But they shouldn't leave Ye Wan alone here either!
Moreover, Little cub Sui Yan was such a carefree child, how would she overthink things?
Zhou Yuyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit awkward as she touched her hair. "Look at how careless I am. Go ahead and take Yan."
Ye Wan didn't feel neglected at all. In fact, she could understand the old lady's fondness for children better than Liu Man, even though Liu Hua had explained it to her before. Nevertheless, she still felt guilty towards Liu Hua and Sui Yan.
Liu Man held Sui Yan's hand, followed by three young men, and they rushed towards the nursery.
Little cub tried her best to stretch her short little legs. Suddenly, she realized a serious problem – what if her little brother's legs were longer than hers?
Wouldn't that be embarrassing for her?
However, when she finally saw her little brother, she felt relieved.
Sui Jinhong was also squatting by the bed, watching his newborn son. When he saw Sui Yan's relieved expression, he couldn't help but smile and say, "Yan, what's wrong?"
Sui Yan leaned over the bed and looked at the wrinkly, red-skinned little baby with a bit of disdain, saying, "My little brother isn't as cute as me. And his legs are even shorter than mine, hmph!"
Sui Jinhong couldn't help but laugh. "Your little brother has just been born. Newborns all look like this. In a few days, he'll be fine. But he definitely won't be as cute as you when he grows up."
Sui Yan was quite satisfied with her dad's words. She shuffled closer, wanting to be nearer to her little brother. "Dad, can I kiss my little brother?"
Sui Jinhong hesitated, "I'm not sure. How about we kiss him in a couple of days?"
Sui Yan waved her little hand. "Okay!"
As the father and daughter chatted, they completely forgot about the others present.
Yet the little baby boy who had just come out of Ye Wan's belly miraculously opened his eyes when Sui Yan came over and even smiled clumsily.
Sui Yan was delighted. "Dad, my little brother smiled! He's a tiny bit cute."
Sui Jinhong went along with Little cub. "Yes, it seems your little brother likes you the most."
He probably couldn't have imagined that this casual remark to appease Little cub would actually come true in the future.
Ye Anning, Sui Yu, and Sui Zhi were crouched in the corner, leaning on their hands and mocking the situation.
Qiao Ze said, "How can a newborn baby smile?"
Ye Anning retorted, "What do you know? With how cute Yan is, it's normal for something like this to happen."
Sui Yu agreed, "Exactly!"
Sui Zhi added, "Makes sense!"
Qiao Ze conceded, "Hmm...true."
Liu Man silently rolled her eyes. "You guys!"
Sui Jinhong stood up and patted his clothes. "Yan, Dad's going back to see your Auntie Ye. Do you want to stay here and watch your little brother?"
Little cub had been making faces and mumbling to herself, but the baby didn't react much to her.
So she didn't want to play with her little brother anymore. "I want to go see Auntie Ye too. My little brother is no fun."
She would wait until her little brother grew up a bit before bullying him, like how her older siblings treated her – pinching his cheeks and giving him little pigtails!
Hmph!
Sui Jinhong simply picked up his daughter. "Then let's go! Let's go see your Auntie Ye."
Ye Anning and the others followed, leaving the newborn baby with the Nanny they had hired to look after him.
Sui Yan leaned on her dad's shoulder, grinning stupidly at her older siblings. "Sister~ I'm a sister now too."
Ye Anning held her hand. "So what?"
Little cub suddenly became serious. "So no one can pinch my face anymore!"
She got her face pinched every day, which wouldn't look good in front of her little brother.
How could that be allowed?!
Ye Anning pondered for a second, then unexpectedly reached out and pinched Sui Yan's face. "Mmm...gotta pinch Yan's face."
Then she quickly ran away.
Before Little cub could react, Sui Yu, Sui Zhi, Qiao Ze, and even Liu Man took turns pinching her face, leaving her with the same line before running off.
"Gotta pinch Yan's face!"
By the time Sui Yan realized what was happening, they had all run far away.
Sui Yan complained sadly to Sui Jinhong, "Dad, look, my brothers and sisters are bullying me again."
Sui Jinhong pretended to be outraged. "They've gone too far! But don't worry, you can get back at them by bullying your little brother later."
Little cub reluctantly agreed, "Okay then."
Finally, when they returned home, it was already completely dark outside.
Liu Man took her four kids, plus Ye Anning, back home. Along the way, Little cub was still grumbling about telling her mom about how they had bullied her.
When they got home, Liu Hua was being affectionate with Xu Yi. The insensitive Little cub rushed over, squatted by her mom's leg, and told on them, "Mom! My brothers and sisters bullied me again."
Xu Yi touched his nose, acting as if nothing had happened. Liu Hua remained composed and even said, "That's too much!"
Little cub hugged her mom's leg. "Mom, I want my little brother to come out soon."
Knowing her daughter well, Liu Hua saw through Little cub's little desire. "Does Yan want to bully her little brother?"
Little cub wouldn't admit it. "No way, I'm the best. I won't bully my little brother."
