The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter

When Situ Xin smiled, it excited Old Master Loo a great deal, and he swept her up into his arms. Old Master Loo's actions startled both Old Madam Loo and Situ Haotian, with Old Madam Loo particularly worried, "Old Master, what are you doing? Be careful. The baby is still small, you must be gentle when you hold her." Although Old Master Loo seemed more amiable than Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo was also a man who held a high position and had never held his grandsons before. Seeing Old Master Loo holding Situ Xin was quite shocking for Old Madam Loo. And Situ Haotian looked at Situ Xin with a pained expression, fearing Old Master Loo might inadvertently hurt his precious daughter. Furthermore, Situ Haotian was worried his daughter might feel uncomfortable being held by her grandfather and start to cry. Luckily, Situ Xin was not a real child, and although Old Master Loo's hold was quite uncomfortable, she did not shed any tears. Old Madam Loo quickly stepped in to correct Old Master Loo's way of holding the child.

After Old Master Loo, Situ Xin's uncles and aunts also came to the hospital to visit Loo Xiyan and the newborn baby. Upon seeing Situ Xin, her uncles and aunts immediately fell in love with the tiny infant, especially when the little one looked at them with her bright, spirited eyes, they couldn't help but want to dote on her.

"Mommy, where is my sister?" Just as Situ Xin was about to drift off to sleep, a little boy's voice suddenly invaded her ears. She shifted her body, but she didn't open her eyes. She had just been fussed over by a group of people and now she was too tired and wanted to sleep.

"Shh, Jin, keep your voice down, your sister is sleeping," Situ Haotian indicated to his son to be quieter. Then, leading his son over to the baby crib where his daughter was sleeping, he said, "Here, this is your sister. Isn't she adorable?" Situ Jin was already 5 years old. He was not particularly fond of younger siblings, not because he feared his parents would love him less if they had other children, but because he usually saw other babies younger than him crying all the time. And their crying, complete with snotty noses and tears, really bothered him. But now, looking at the quiet infant lying in the crib, his heart filled with joy, "So this is my sister. She's so cute."

"So, do you like your sister, Jin?" asked Situ Haotian. He understood his son very well. Despite being only 5 years old, his intelligence was quite high, and he spoke like a little adult. Previously, when his wife was pregnant, the older family members asked him whether he wanted a brother or a sister, and his answer was that he wanted neither. He also mentioned that brothers and sisters always cry and are annoying.

"I like it, I will definitely protect my little sister in the future," the little Situ Jin swore with a serious face. "Good, well said, a brother should indeed protect his sister," said Old Master Situ, who had brought Situ Jin to the hospital, as soon as he walked in he heard his grandson's words and spoke with approval. "Grandpa, keep your voice down, the baby is sleeping," Situ Jin saw that Old Master Situ had started speaking loudly as soon as he entered, and he frowned in reminder. Normally, Old Master Situ would have become angry if he were reprimanded by a younger family member, but the situation and location were out of the ordinary at this moment, and after Situ Jin's words, Old Master Situ didn't realize that he had been scolded by his own grandson, his first reaction was to look at Situ Xin in the baby crib, fearing his voice might have woken up his precious grandchild.

Upon seeing that Situ Xin hadn't been awakened and was still sleeping sweetly, Old Master Situ felt relieved. "Haotian, come out with me for a moment," Old Master Situ called Situ Haotian out of the ward, while Situ Jin, burdened with the responsibility of a watchful eye, remained behind, standing guard over the sleeping Situ Xin.

"Dad, what did you need to talk to me about?" Situ Haotian thought that it couldn't possibly be something to do with the military calling for him at this time. He truly didn't want to leave his wife and his newly born precious daughter. "I wanted to talk to you about the baby's name. Yesterday, after I went back, I picked a name for the baby," Old Master Situ didn't mention that he had immediately stayed in his study upon returning home the previous day to think of names for his precious granddaughter. None of the names he came up with seemed good enough for his granddaughter. It was only after Old Madam Situ couldn't stand it anymore and picked one from the names Old Master Situ had considered that he finally settled down. Situ Haotian breathed a sigh of relief on hearing that his father wasn't talking about military matters, "The baby's name, huh." It dawned on Situ Haotian that the baby had been born for two days now and still didn't have a name. "Dad, what name did you come up with for the baby?" "Let's call her Situ Xin." "Hmm, that's a nice-sounding name. I'll go tell Yaxin in a bit. Dad, I thank you on behalf of the baby," Situ Haotian sincerely said to Old Master Situ. "There's no need for you to thank me on her behalf, I'm waiting for the baby to thank me herself," Old Master Situ thought about holding Situ Xin's small and tender body, and his face softened a great deal. "Alright, go keep Yaxin company. I'm going to see the baby," with those words, Old Master Situ didn't wait for Situ Haotian to reply and turned back towards the nursery. Situ Xin still didn't know that the head of the house had already decided on her name in this life, and if she knew she was going to be called Situ Xin in this life as well, one could only wonder what she would think.

When Situ Xin woke up, she felt a gaze fixed on her. When Situ Jin saw his sister finally open her eyes, he was incredibly excited. "Grandpa, the baby's awake, she's awake!" With Situ Jin's shout, Situ Xin noticed him. Seeing the small boy looking at her with a face full of joy, she thought to herself: "Who is this cute little guy, and why did he just call me sister? Could he be my brother?" While Situ Xin was guessing whether Situ Jin was her brother, Situ Jin leaned into Xu Yuwei's face, carefully extended a finger, and gently touched Situ Xin's face. "Wow, my sister's skin is so tender." Situ Xin had absorbed Spiritual Energy while in her mother's womb, leaving her body free of any impurities at birth. Consequently, her skin was so delicate it seemed water could be squeezed from it. During the time when Situ Xin had been asleep, Situ Jin had wanted to touch her soft face but refrained because his father had told him not to disturb her sleep. So he waited patiently until Situ Xin woke up. After Situ Jin touched her face, he seriously said to Situ Xin, "Sister, I'm your brother, and I will always protect you so you'll never be bullied." Situ Xin was deeply moved looking at Situ Jin's earnest little face; thinking of her lonely, orphaned past life from birth to death, always alone. But in this life, she had a father and a mother, grandfathers and grandmothers, and now even a cute little brother. Situ Xin felt extremely content, truly content. This life was so good; she finally had a family. After hearing Situ Jin's words, Situ Xin smiled widely at him. Seeing his sister smile at him, Situ Jin excitedly called out to Old Master Situ: "Grandpa, the baby smiled at me!" What Situ Xin didn't realize was that her tiny smile had just created a thoroughly devoted brother.
