Official Taiwan Traditional Mandarin Pinsin Edition:

Digital Print English: He was quite an adorable child, but unfortunately, Jiang Cheng wasn’t the type to care. He turned to Wei Wuxian and demanded, “Where’d this kid come from?

ExR English translation: He was quite a fine, lovable child. Unfortunately, Jiang Cheng had no love in him at all. He turned to Wei WuXian, “Where did the kid come from?

Traditional Digital Mandarin: 倒是個玉雪可愛的孩子,可惜江澄這個人毫無愛心,他對魏無羨道:「哪來的小孩?

My translation and Pinyin: He was a strikingly lovely child, but pityingly, Jiang Cheng had no love in his being. He turned to Wei Wuxian saying, "Where did the kid come from?"

ǎo shì gè yùxuě kěài de háizi,kěxī jiāngchéng zhè gè rén háowú àixīn,tā duì wèiwúxiàndào: 'nǎ lái de xiǎohái?

And I see EXACTLY why they picked "cute" instead. It's meant to be funny and a joke since it's a narrative punch at Jiang Cheng's expense fully. And another instance of our faceless narrator cutting in to comment about the cast during their play.

The same character is repeated with "love" ài (爱) for that very reason since the entire point of how it's worded literally is A-Yuan is "like jade and snow and easy to love" if put flowery, and Jiang Cheng is too much of an asshole to be charmed by a child being a child. Now this "可愛" kěài can translate to cute, but that's also simply without further context and it's most basic meaning. The focus within this passage is that it should be irresistible to want to indulge the toddler with love and spoiling, unless you are Jiang Cheng who is cruel and cold to a scary degree.
