Chapter 352: Like an Ugly Little Pig in Mommy’s Heart
“Slow down, don’t fall over.” Rong Yan had changed her shoes and was handing him the paper bag with a beaming smile, “Here, a present~”
Li Duidui joyfully accepted it, tilting his head full of anticipation as he asked, “Mom, what’s inside?”
While reaching inside.
“Take it out and you’ll find out.” Rong Yan, seeing his beautiful little face, felt the gloominess in her chest dissipate. She naturally curved her lips into a smile without having to force it, “Let’s see if you like it.”
The toddler, who resembled Li Shengxiao by sixty percent, hadn’t even taken the thing out of the paper bag yet when he blinked his grape-like big eyes and sweetly said, “Whatever mom gives, Duidui likes it!”
“Pfft, don’t speak so fast. If you don’t like it, I can buy you something else,” Rong Yan urged him to take the stuffed toy out to have a look.
Li Duidui pursed his lips, wanting to argue with her because even if she said the gift wasn’t nice, he would still like it—it was from his own Little Demon Rong! But in the end, he just couldn’t bring himself to refute Rong Yan and eagerly took out the little figurine from the paper bag.
“This is…?”
Li Duidui’s large eyes stared into the big eyes of the chibi Little Pig in his hands.
Little Pig?
“Isn’t it really cute?” Rong Yan lifted the toy up towards him, saying with a smile, “I saw it by the roadside, and I thought its big eyes resembled yours; both so cute, I couldn’t help but buy it.”
Li Duidui stared at the dumbly cute chibi Little Pig in front of him, not really agreeing that he looked like the stupid figure, but seeing his mommy’s happily curved crescent eyes, he suppressed the little grievance in his heart and nodded, “Mhm, it’s cute, I like it.”
Rong Yan gave Little Baby’s chubby cheeks a tug, her beautiful eyes clear and bright with wisdom, “Is my Little Duidui upset?”
“…No, not at all.”
It wasn’t that he was angry, just a little bit hurt.
In the eyes of Little Demon Rong, he was like an ugly Little Pig!
Even if it was chibi, it could be deemed cute-ugly, but it still couldn’t change the fact that the little toy looked silly.
He was already a little man.
Nothing like a Little Pig!
“Are you sure?”
“…Yes.” Li Duidui denied it quickly.
Rong Yan tapped the tip of his little nose with her finger, not calling him out, before crouching down with the chibi toy in hand, saying, “Actually, mommy thought this toy was very cute, just like Duidui. And it’s also a symbol of good fortune, the Little Pig. Mommy thought, my Duidui is born in the Year of the Pig, a cute and well-behaved little piggy baby. With that in mind, the more I looked at it, the cuter it seemed. But if Duidui really doesn’t like it, mommy can buy another cuter one for you! I’ll keep this one.”
Originally, Li Duidui was not too pleased to compare himself with a foolish chibi Little Pig toy, but hearing Rong Yan explain the significance of the Little Pig so softly, he suddenly felt that the Little Pig wasn’t so ugly after all—its big eyes did indeed look kind of cute.
All at once, he hugged the little figurine in his arms, “No, it’s mine because mom gave it to me. Grandma says that you can’t take back a gift you’ve given!”
“Er.” Rong Yan looked at him helplessly as he now appeared to be very fond of the toy, clutching it without letting go, “But didn’t you say you didn’t really like it?”
