"Baby, come and hold mother\'s hand."

The boy glanced at the woman who called him. She was wearing a soft wide-leg trousers and flowy white blouse. The other was tall with stylish short hair that perfectly highlighted her sharp features. She was not a classically beautiful woman. The word \'handsome\' actually suited her more.

"Mom, I\'m not a baby anymore," the boy grumbled, but still held his mother\'s hand.

The boy heard an amused chuckle beside him. He raised his head and saw a man gazing down at him amusedly. The man, surprisingly, looked like the adult version of the boy.

"Yes, our Xiao Wei is no longer a baby," he said indulgently, holding the free hand of the boy.

The boy—Luo Wei—proudly raised his chin. "I\'m going to be a big brother soon, so I\'m a big boy now."

The man—Luo Ren — smiled and then looked at his wife. His gaze was full of love. "Yes, you will have a little sister in eight months."

"Brother Ren, we still don\'t know if it\'s a girl or a boy," Yu Jiao said with a hint of admonishment, but the blush on her face proved that she was probably hoping for the same.

"I also want a little sister," Luo Wei announced.

"See, even Xiao Wei agrees with his father," Luo Ren said.

"Let\'s just go inside. It\'s almost time for the ceremony," Yu Jiao said, changing the subject.

The family of three walked towards the hotel where the 100th day celebration of two babies in their family was being held.

Inside a private lounge in the hotel, two mothers were holding two sleeping babies wearing traditional clothing. The design of the clothes was almost identical, except that one was color pink and the other was color blue.

These two babies were the stars of today\'s 100th day celebration.

The woman holding the baby with pink traditional clothes had an exceptionally beautiful face. She was wearing a silver cheongsam with dragon embroidery, her long black hair was tied up by a green jade pin. She looked more like a model rather than a mother. Her gaze on the baby in her arms was full of unconditional love.

The other woman holding the baby with blue traditional clothes wasn\'t as exceptional as the other woman in terms of appearance, but her striking cat-like eyes were something that no one could easily ignore. She was wearing a lavender Spring dress that perfectly suited her petite figure. An expression of happiness was evident on her face.

"It\'s so wonderful that both Mei Mei and Rui Rui have the same birthday. Don\'t you think so, Sister Yuqi?" Xia Li said to Su Yuqi before looking at his husband. "It\'s like their twins! Right, honey?"

The man standing beside Xia Li was wearing a lavender suit. It would probably look tacky on others, but his handsome face saved him from the same fate.

Bai Ze felt conflicted when he heard his wife\'s question. Although he didn\'t have anything against baby Mei Mei, the fact that her mother was Su Yuqi made him want to say \'no\'. How could his precious son be the twin of his \'mortal enemy\'s\' daughter?

When he didn\'t answer immediately, Su Yuqi scoffed. "I bet your husband is thinking like some chuunibyou right now."

Bai Ze\'s face turned red in embarrassment. He was about to retort, but his wife let out a joyful laugh, promptly stopping him.

"Yes, I guess he is."

Bai Ze turned to his wife with a look saying \'how can you betray me like this?\'. "Li-er..."

"Don\'t worry, I still love you despite that," Xia Li said, giving his husband a quick peck.

Then the door to the private lounge opened. A handsome tall man wearing a silver tang suit with the same dragon embroidery. Even in traditional attire, his untamed allure remained impossible to overlook.

He walked beside Su Yuqi, kissing the top of her head as if it was the most natural thing, and then gazed down at their daughter. His eyes almost turned to heart-shape as he looked at her.

"Xiao Jin, have all the guests already arrived?" Bai Ze asked his cousin.

"Most. Yan and Ji Yun are still on the way," Luo Jin answered, before adding. "They brought the child with them."

All three looked at him when they heard the last part.

"Let\'s welcome the child with open arms," Xia Li said.

Su Yuqi nodded in agreement.

"Of course, that\'s a must," Bai Ze said. "He\'s already part of our family."

"Do you think the ceremony is already starting?" asked the beautiful man sitting in the back seat of the car. His peach blossom eyes had a hint of worry in them.

"Don\'t worry, Yan Yan, we\'re just in time," the handsome man on the driver\'s seat said after parking the car.

"I shall trust Brother Ji Yun\'s judgment," Luo Yan said with a chuckle.

Then the two got out of the car after it was parked. They were about to walk towards the hotel when they noticed that the child sitting beside Luo Yan didn\'t follow them.

Luo Yan looked at Shen Ji Yun and the other nodded. He turned around and bent a little to look at the child still sitting in the car.

The four-year-old boy, who looked much smaller than his age, was thin and pale. His hair was pure white and even the eyelashes surrounding his eyes were also white. That pair of pinkish-colored eyes were staring down.

His features showing clear signs of albinism. But these unique features made the boy look even more beautiful. Like a small winter elf dwelling in a mysterious world.

The boy\'s thin fingers were fidgeting with his clothes. Anyone could see that the boy was very nervous right now.

Seeing this, Luo Yan felt his heart tremble. But he chose not to show his worry and instead give the other a bright smile. "Let\'s go, Zhu-er."

The boy raised his head and looked at the hand offered to him, then at the beautiful face of the man that was now his father. He didn\'t want to disappoint him. So, despite his fears and worries, he still reached out to that hand and walked out of the car.

Before he could make a step, his Daddy Yan crouched down and looked at him softly. "Zhu-er, there\'s nothing to be afraid. Aren\'t I and Daddy Yun here? We will always be here to protect and love you."

"That\'s right. Because you are our son," Shen Ji Yun added, also crouching down to be at his son\'s eye level.

The boy bit his lower lip. "B-but what if they didn\'t l-like me?" he asked, his voice trembling as if he was about to cry.

"Oh, Zhu-er, that won\'t happen. Our Zhu-er is so pretty. How could anyone not like you?" Luo Yan said, gently stroking the boy\'s hair.

"Yes, very pretty," Shen Ji Yun followed with a thumbs-up.

The boy blushed. His dads were the only ones who would call him pretty when all he heard his whole life were insults for the way he looks. Somehow, his nervousness was melting away because of his dads\' compliment.

"Besides, they are also now your new family. Just like how the three of us became a family. So, there\'s absolutely nothing to be afraid of," Luo Yan said.

The boy nodded.

"Tell me, Zhu-er. What is your name?" Luo Yan asked.

The boy looked at his Daddy Yan, encouraging him to answer. Then he glanced at Daddy Yun. The other\'s eyes were also full of encouragement. Both of them gave him courage.

He took a deep breath and said in a voice full of conviction, "I\'m Luo Tian Zhu, the son of Shen Ji Yun and Luo Yan."
