Chapter 10: Chapter 10, Silly Daughter

Chi Wenting, determined to teach them, held up the food cards and read them to Tiantian several times before shuffling them and asking her again.

"Tiantian, where is the strawberry?"

Tiantian seemed to understand, yet also seemed not to, as she lay on the floor looking for the pictures she liked.

"Da da~" Cake~

Chi Wenting: "..."

Fine, as long as you're happy.

"Then where is the milk bottle?"

Tiantian knew this one, but she didn't want to pick it; instead, she chose a strawberry cake card of her own accord.

"Da da~" I found it.

Chi Wenting: "..."

Forget it, the child is still young; it’s normal for her not to understand human speech.

She should be fine when she gets older.

Chi Wenting comforted himself. Children at this age are all muddled and ignorant; surely they are all as silly as Tiantian?

He looked up at his silly, sweet daughter, then at Chengcheng, who looked quite sharp, and decided to see if other babies were the same.

So, he placed a few cards on the floor and asked Chengcheng to find one, "Little brat, where is the strawberry?"

"If you find it, I'll give you an extra ten milliliters of milk tonight."

Chengcheng found it immediately, picked up the strawberry card with her chubby little hand, and tossed it at him.

Her expression was one of disdain, as if to say, "Childish."

Chi Wenting: "..."

What happened to all babies being silly?

Why is this little brat so smart?!!

No, he refused to accept this.

How could his daughter lose to an unwanted little orphan?

Refusing to believe it, he took away the food cards and replaced them with toy cars.

He curled his lips in a childish smirk, "Little brat, I'll only teach you these cars once. If you can't find them in a moment, I'm going to call you a little dummy."

Chengcheng wasn't afraid at all. She huffed, her chubby little face puffed up, completely unfazed by him.

Chi Wenting chose a few simple cars and taught her one by one, "This white one is an ambulance. This red one is a fire truck."

"And this blue one is a water truck, and this green one is a garbage truck."

He only taught her four, feeling a bit nervous that the child might not understand.

"Alright, now I'm going to test you. Where is the ambulance?"

Chengcheng pursed her red little lips and thought for a moment. She didn't point it out immediately, but instead watched Chi Wenting's expression before slowly pointing her chubby finger at the picture of the ambulance.

Chi Wenting had assumed she wouldn't know, but he hadn't expected this little thing to actually know it??

Chi Wenting refused to believe it and asked again, "Then what about the garbage truck?"

The garbage truck was green, and the shape was hard to recognize; he didn't know if this little brat could really identify it.

As Chi Wenting watched with a nervous expression, Chengcheng's chubby hand first moved toward the fire truck.

Seeing Chi Wenting's tense face, her chubby hand shifted to the ambulance.

Chi Wenting gasped, thinking she couldn't guess it. Just as he was about to mock her, Chengcheng suddenly reached out her little fleshy hand, picked up the garbage truck card, and tossed it nonchalantly in front of Chi Wenting.

"Da~" Take it.

Chi Wenting: "..."

He felt like he’d been played.

Could this little radish be a child prodigy??

Chi Wenting couldn't quite believe it and quickly took out his phone to check.

He scrolled down and saw videos of some nine-month-old babies accurately pointing out card patterns.

There were also babies who couldn't point them out, or even ignored their mothers to play on their own.

A doctor commented below, saying that both types of child development were normal, just with different areas of talent, and parents shouldn't be too anxious.

Seeing this, Chi Wenting finally felt relieved.

So, it wasn't that Tiantian was too stupid; it was just that the two children excelled in different areas.

Or perhaps their focus was different.

Tiantian was more focused on her own little world.

Chengcheng, on the other hand, could communicate with adults.

Chi Wenting looked at Tiantian, who was playing very intently, and let out a long sigh of relief.

As long as the child wasn't a fool, it was fine.

Tiantian tilted her head, "Da?"

Why did Daddy say she was silly?

She wasn't silly.

She just didn't want to play with Daddy, hmph.

Chengcheng watched the joke from the side, thinking to herself, *Stinky Daddy, you also have a day where you're looked down upon by your precious eldest daughter.*

Hahaha, serves you right.

Even a baby as smart as her wasn't discovered; he really had eyes but couldn't recognize a pearl.

In her past life, she was top of her grade, a proper little academic genius!

Yet, her father, who had no eye for talent, couldn't see that she was a future prodigy! Hmph, stupid Daddy.

She turned away in anger, leaving only her little head facing away from Chi Wenting, not wanting to play with him anymore.

Chi Wenting was too busy playing on his phone to notice her little movements.

It wasn't until he finished browsing the web that he put his phone down and looked at the two children.

He saw Tiantian playing obediently with her little cake toys, even knowing how to line them up neatly.

Meanwhile, Chengcheng was pouting with her back to him, though he didn't know what she was angry about.

Chi Wenting was confused and poked her fleshy cheek with his finger.

"What's wrong with you? Want milk again?"

Chengcheng glared at him, her little expression very expressive.

"Ah da da da!" You stupid Daddy.

Chi Wenting was baffled by the scolding.

"I didn't provoke you, stop scolding me."

Chengcheng didn't expect him to actually understand, so she coughed, pretended she wasn't the one scolding him just now, and crawled over to be held.

Chi Wenting was so angry he laughed.

"How are you so thick-skinned? Scolding your boss and then wanting your boss to hold you?"

Chengcheng pretended not to understand, cupped Chi Wenting's handsome face with her little hands, and rubbed against him affectionately, her survival instinct very strong.

Chi Wenting was truly too angry to stay mad.

He tugged at the little tuft of hair on her head, "If you scold me again, I'll leave you here to work as child labor."

Chengcheng made a "woo woo" sound, trying to curry favor, "Ba ba~~"

Chi Wenting huffed at her, "Don't try that. The most universally understood language in the world is scolding; baby talk is the same!"

Chengcheng: "..."

She’d been careless.

Next time, she’d better scold him behind his back.

Auntie Fang calculated the time and came in, "Young Master, it's time to go back. The two children should be hungry."

Eating baby food outside was convenient, but Old Mrs. Chi was worried and had already called for the children to return.

Chi Wenting was hungry too. He picked up one in each arm, put on the diaper bag, and went back with Auntie Fang.

Upon arriving home.

Old Mrs. Chi was already waiting at the door.

"Oh, my precious granddaughters, did you miss Grandma?"

Tiantian was still very happy to see Old Mrs. Chi.

She clung to Old Mrs. Chi's neck, looking very affectionate.

Seeing this, Chengcheng also leaned over, wanting Old Mrs. Chi to hold her.

Old Mrs. Chi was overjoyed and scooped both children into her arms, "Oh, did you miss me after being out for only half a day?"

"It seems I'm still the most popular one with the children in this house, hahaha~"

Chi Wenting felt jealous and glared at the two little brats.

"I wasted my time bringing you out."

He’d worked himself to the bone taking care of them all day, only for them to want Grandma the moment they turned around.

Old Mrs. Chi was delighted and carried the two children into the house.

She had already prepared the baby food: meat broth rice paste.

The meat broth was made from the freshest pork; once the rich broth was ready, it was mixed into the baby paste and stirred until smooth.

Chengcheng and Tiantian were already hungry, and they became very excited when they smelled the fragrant meat broth paste.

Chi Wenting put them in their high chairs, one on the left and one on the right, and put on their bibs.

Old Mrs. Chi fed Tiantian with practiced movements, while Chi Wenting fed Chengcheng.

The sight of the two children waiting to be fed was adorable.

Even Old Master Chi couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth in satisfaction as he watched.
