She quickly gave her husband a questioning look and Lu Qingfeng nodded in affirmation to her unspoken question. The young babe in his relative's arm was none other than Lu Junjie, albeit still a baby and was still living with his parents.

Su Xiaofei's heart clenched painfully at the sight of him. When she was still a ghost and Lu Qingfeng wasn't at home for her to follow around, she usually tailed the young boy and knew of his grievances. She had watched Lu Junjie grow up from a young boy to a decent young man his parents could be proud of under Lu Qingfeng's tutelage.

Lu Junjie always felt sad and empty, missing his parents. Although he and Lu Qingfeng were really close and had bonded like real father and son, there were times that the young boy would seek solace in the company of his parents' faded photograph.

However, it wasn't too late for her or for Lu Qingfeng to save his parents from their impending death. They still had enough time to make sure that Lu Junjie's parents would be able to avoid the death flag that awaited them.

From what Su Xiaofei knew, Lu Junjie's parents died because someone was hunting his mother for valuable information. They died while trying to escape their pursuers and ended up in a severe car crash one rainy night.

"A-Feng, introduce your wife to your cousin. I need to receive this call for a moment." Grandpa Lu said, before whispering to Su Xiaofei, telling her not to worry over her new relatives.

"Hello. I can't believe that Su Xiaofei is our relative now." Lu Junjie's mother said bashfully, trying to soothe the crying infant in her arms but failing. She gave her husband a helpless look as neither of them managed to pacify their crying son.

"Sorry about this. He's usually calm and not a fussy kid." She gave Su Xiaofei an apologetic look, but the latter only smiled and dismissed her apology.

"May I?" Su Xiaofei asked, gesturing to the crying child. She had never been good with children, as they would usually cry upon seeing her face. She didn't know if it was because they found her hideous or scary.

"May I hold him?" She repeated, seeing the parents' confusion at her question.

Lu Junjie's mother hesitated for a moment, but then handed her son to Su Xiaofei without a question. She clasped her hands together as if she was worried that the child would do something. Her son was unusually fussy today because of his swollen gums, but she and her husband couldn't miss this rare gathering with the rest of the Lu clan.

Su Xiaofei drew the young infant close to her bosom and smiled as she gave the child a good look.She gave the child a gentle pat on his back and made a shushing sound in an attempt to calm him. She couldn't believe she was holding him now. There were times in her past life when Lu Junjie would cry and she wanted to give him a reassuring hug, but it wasn't possible back then.

"Hello, Little One. I'm your new auntie now. You can call me Auntie Fei." She slightly gave the child a gentle bounce and the child immediately ceased his crying to look at her.

The young Lu Junjie stared at her face for a moment and Su Xiaofei wondered if he would reject her. However, much to her relief, the child let out a high squeal and waved his tiny hands, attempting to touch her face.

"He likes you." Lu Qingfeng whispered next to her as he allowed Lu Junjie to hold his forefinger. The child was attempting to put it in his mouth.

"He's teething, isn't he?" Su Xiaofei chuckled as she noticed that Lu Junjie wanted to gnaw on something and cried when Lu Qingfeng pulled his finger away.

Lu Junjie's mother pursed her lips and gave her husband an 'I told you so' look. Instead of answering her, her husband decided to ask Su Xiaofei.

"You can tell, Miss Su?"

How could a socialite and rich heiress like Su Xiaofei know such things? He didn't peg her as someone who likes being around children.

"Please call me Xiaofei. We are family now." Su Xiaofei corrected Lu Qingfeng's distant cousin. "It's just a hunch because he keeps trying to put his fist in his mouth and he's constantly pulling his ear."

"That's what I told him, Xiaofei. I told him Jun isn't feeling well, but he insisted that we should attend tonight." Lu Junjie's mother scoffed, while her husband rubbed his nape awkwardly.

"I'm Shi Mingli and this is my husband, Lu Mingzhe. This is our son, Lu Junjie."

Su Xiaofei beamed them a smile and allowed Lu Qingfeng to take his nephew from her. She then gave the couple a firm handshake.

"I'm Su Xiaofei. I guess I don't need to say more when everyone here seems to know who I am."

"When Mingzhe told me that Xiao Feng knew you personally, I couldn't quite believe his claim." Shi Mingli's expression softened upon seeing how the young couple took a liking to her young son. Lu Junjie hated being touched and held by others other than her and her husband.

"He likes you and Xiao Feng. I can't believe this."

"Huh? Is he a difficult child?" Su Xiaofei glanced at her husband who was now trying to tickle the child under his chin to make him giggle. She briefly wondered if Lu Qingfeng would do the same once their twins were born.

"Not really." Lu Mingzhe shrugged. "Jun just doesn't like people who wear perfumes and strong scents on them. He sneezed at them most of the time."

"Such a sensitive nose." Su Xiaofei smiled.

"Well, what can I say? He's born in the Shi family." Shi Mingli giggled behind her hand. "My family is known for running a traditional apothecary. We tend to have sensitive noses, far superior compared to normal people."
