Upon getting looked at by so many uncles and aunties, Baby Zetty became somewhat embarrassed. She shyly buried her head in Jay's chest. Then, she opened one eye and looked across the unfamiliar place innocently.
Her shy action made Jay smile gently. "Are you being shy?"
Baby Zetty hugged his neck and asked timidly, "Uncle, why are they looking at me?"
Jay scanned the hall with a stern gaze, and the staff immediately immersed themselves back to work.
Jay said to Baby Zetty, "Probably because you're too cute."
Baby Zetty stared at Jay blankly.
"What is it?" Jay asked her.
"Uncle, it’s the first time you're praising Baby Zetty." Zetty could not hide the surprise in her eyes.
Jay frowned. "Is that so?"
At that moment, he wanted to selectively forget all the memories of him being indifferent toward Baby Zetty i n the past.
"I’ll remember to always compliment you from now on and no longer try to suppress my praises."
Baby Zetty's eyes showed a smile, her precious dark
pupils pure and clear.
"Uncle, you look handsome when you're not angry."
"Is that so?"
The father-daughter duo came to the front desk of the cafeteria hall as they chatted. When she saw the colorful and delicious-looking food, Baby Zetty exclaimed, "Woah!”
"What do you want to eat?" Jay asked her.
A touch of guilt arose in his heart when he found that he cared so little about this child that he barely knew any of her preferences at all.
"Can I order anything I want? No matter the price?” Baby Zetty looked at Jay somewhat worriedly. "What i f it's too expensive?”
The waiter at the front desk was dumbfounded upon hearing Baby Zetty's words.
'She came here to have a meal with the chairman, yet she’s worried about the price? What a precious baby. I just ought to steal her away.
'Such a cutie pie.'
