Maybe because Tang Beixuan didn't know much about Zhang Jiren, he figured the boss might just have a soft spot for children like Little Star and Xiao Bao. Who would be able to ignore the charm of these two little devils anyway? Tang Beixuan didn't think that there would be a person who wouldn't be conquered by his sister's children.

  "So you are really our uncle? Then, can I call you Uncle?" Little Star asked Zhang Jiren apprehensively while Xiao Bao remained expressionless, watching how his twin sister interacted with this handsome uncle she met recently.

  "My name is Zhang Jiren, and of course, you can call me Uncle if you like," Zhang Jiren said in response, pleased that his niece had easily accepted him in her life as her newest uncle. However, the same couldn't be said for the young boy who was a spitting image of Feng Tianyi. His obsidian eyes were looking at Zhang Jiren intently.

  "And who is this?" Zhang Jiren regarded Xiao Bao with a smile. Unlike Little Star, he didn't think Tang Feiyu would accept him easily.

  "That's my Yu Gege! He's my twin brother!" Little Star bragged to her newest uncle, her eyes beaming with pride as she looked at him. Looking at Zhang Jiren's face, the younger twin realized that most of her and her brother's uncles were really good-looking but with different personalities.

  "Hello, Uncle Jiren. I'm Tang Feiyu, Little Star's older brother. Nice to meet you." The little guy introduced himself, extending a hand towards Zhang Jiren like a gentleman. These days, Xiao Bao had been watching his father and his other uncle's actions, picking up something from them.

  "Nice to meet you, too." Zhang Jiren had no other choice but to accept the little guy's hand and give it a shake.

  "Come. Dinner is almost ready. I'm sure the three of you are tired from work and traveling," Auntie Lu said as she led everyone to the dining area where Tang Moyu was waiting.

  "Wan Jie, I'm sorry I couldn't pick you up. Tianyi and I came home too late." She apologized to her elder sister.

  Tang Wanyu shook her head and gently patted her younger sister's shoulder.

  "I know you are busy. Beixuan told me you just resumed working and are busy sorting out things as you move to a new place with Brother Tianyi. Don't stress yourself out, okay?"

  "Yes, I'll listen to you, Wan Jie," Tang Moyu replied before her eyes caught her daughter in Zhang Jiren's arms. She raised a brow on Little Star, but her daughter refused to release the man and wrapped her arms around his neck.

  "It seems your daughter has a talent for picking up handsome uncles. First, she brought home a handsome uncle along with Baobao—who ended up being their real father. Now, she met another handsome uncle who ended up being our cousin. My, my, such a cutie you are, Little Star!" Tang Beixuan commented before pinching the cheeks of his niece who was still in Zhang Jiren's arms.

  "No pinching, Uncle Beixuan! It hurts! Wahhh!"

  Suddenly, Little Star burst into tears, which made Tang Beixuan panic and earn a pointed glare from Tang Moyu. He knew about Little Star's health condition, but he also didn't mean to make his niece cry.

  "Hush, Little One. Don't cry anymore." Zhang Jiren told his crying niece, blowing the cheek that was pinched by Tang Beixuan in an attempt to alleviate the pain from it. "Your uncle didn't mean to hurt you. Look, Uncle Jiren is blowing it for you. Does it still hurt?"

  Little Star rubbed her eyes with her small knuckles and sniffed. Her cheeks a little red from crying as her eyes filled with tears.

  "It hurts a little, Uncle," she answered.

  Tang Beixuan rubbed his neck awkwardly and gave his niece an apology.

  "Sorry, Little Star. Uncle Beixuan didn't mean to pinch you too hard."

  Little Star pouted at him as her lips quivered while she tried to suppress her tears.

  "Uncle Beixuan is a bully! I'll tell Auntie Mei that you are bullying me!" She threatened him instead.

  Tang Beixuan gasped and feigned being hurt by her words again, clutching his c.h.e.s.t.

  "Ah! Don't tell Auntie Mei! Don't tell! Does Little Star not like me anymore because she has a new uncle? Uncle Beixuan would also cry!"

  Xiao Bao knitted his brows as he watched the scene in front of him before shaking his head. He held his mother's hand to get her attention.

  "Mommy, where's Daddy? I'm hungry. Since Uncles and Auntie Wanwan are here, can we have dinner now?" he asked Tang Moyu.

  "Your father is in the study with your Uncle Number 2. They'll be coming down to join us anytime soon," the empress replied. She wasn't sure why He Lianchen came tonight in a hurry to meet her husband, but Tang Moyu only assumed that it was related to their work at Qing Tian Group. She hoped nothing serious had happened.

  "Sister Wanyu, it's nice to see you again." Feng Tianyi chose to regard his sister-in-law first before bothering with Zhang Jiren.

  "Yes, I can't possibly miss your wedding ceremony, right? I feel like it's been a while since I attended a special event like this. Thank you for inviting me to come, Brother Tianyi," Tang Wanyu said in return.

  Feng Tianyi's eyes then shifted to Zhang Jiren.

  "Mr. Zhang, I'm Feng Tianyi, Moyu's husband. I've been hearing things about you. It's good to finally meet you."
