The little one wasn't having it. She shook her head, refusing to let Jie Jingling hold her.
"I'm sorry, Eldest Sister. Xiao Duo is a bit shy with new people," Shen Qing explained, giving the little one a light pat on her bottom. "Xiao Duo, this is your Eldest Aunt. She's your daddy's oldest sister, another one of your aunts."
The little one remained silent, so Jie Jingling tactfully withdrew her hands. "It's okay. It's normal for young children to be shy."
"Xiao Duo, it's me, your Fourth Uncle. Do you remember?" Jie Jingchen asked with a smile.
"Fourth Uncle, hold," Jie Duo said, holding out her little arms for Jie Jingchen to pick her up.
Jie Jingchen stood up, took the little one from Jie Jinghun's arms, and sat her on his lap. Pointing to Qin Mei at his side, he said, "Xiao Duo, say 'Fourth Auntie'."
"Fourth Auntie." It was the first time Jie Duo had met Qin Mei, but she liked her at first sight.
