Chapter 679: Extra Chapter 092 Little Wanwan May Have Not Drunk the Spicy Soup (First Update)
The full moon feast is underway.
Though there had been some awkwardness when they discussed their wedding, the rest of the time was quite pleasant, thanks to Yin Qin.
Wherever he was, joy was sure to follow. He was the embodiment of happiness.
Skipping past the wedding topic, Yin Qin decided to play a trick, “Mu Cidian, let’s arrange a child marriage.”
Mu Cidian was taken aback.
“What I mean is, what do you think of my little cub?” said Yin Qin as he picked up the contentedly eating little cub, showing him to Mu Cidian like a priceless treasure.
“Quite good.” Mu Cidian replied.
“Then you agree.” Yin Qin put down the little cub.
The little cub had grown chubby.
His appetite was like Xiaolang’s, so there was no worry about him not eating.
“No.” Mu Cidian refused.
Yin Qin’s face changed instantly.
Song Zhizhi laughed at this amusing sight, “You’re trying to take advantage of someone’s daughter.”
“How can this be taking advantage of someone? Isn’t this a mutually agreeable arrangement?” said Yin Qin, indifferent and disgruntled, “My cub eats well, sleeps well, and can take a beating. What’s not good about him?!”
“…” Who describes their son like that!
Xin Zaozao was about to speak up.
She felt that Mu Cidian’s refusal was a bit too direct and hurtful for Yin Qin. The fact was she quite liked the little cub who was clean, adorable, and well-behaved. Raised in the harmonious Yin family, he had developed a good character. If the two children could possibly …
Phew.
She seemed to be thinking too far ahead.
However, at this moment, she didn’t feel like rejecting the idea.
But before Xin Zaozao could speak, Mu Cidian said, “Have you not had enough pain from arranged marriages?”
“Huh?” Yin Qin was caught off guard.
Mu Cidian began, “Ji Baixing…”
“Shut up!” Yin Qin quickly stopped him.
A faint smile played at the corner of Mu Cidian’s mouth.
Yin Qin glanced at Luo Xiaolang and seeing no reaction from him, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Both Ji Baijian and Ji Baili’s expressions subtly changed.
This name seemed to become a taboo amongst them.
The atmosphere became slightly awkward again.
Ji Baili inhaled deeply, “Ji Baixin will be released from prison in two months.”
Yin Qin didn’t respond.
No one else spoke either.
“I visited her halfway through her sentence. She seems to understand her mistakes and she’s been reformed well,” Ji Baili said again.
Still, no one responded.
Ji Baili said, “Sigh, I just wanted to tell you all,” then lowered his head to eat without saying any more.
Song Zhizhi then moved the conversation along, “Young Wanwan is now highly sought after. Yin Qin, if you want to arrange a child marriage, you also have to see if the other parents agree. My son, Lizhi, is pretty good too.”
“Shit. Isn’t Lizhi already claimed by the official’s daughter?”
“Who said that!” The color drained from Song Zhizhi’s face.
“Everyone in the country knows.” Yin Qin seemed to completely forget about Ji Baixin in an instant, and said slyly, “Didn’t Qin Jingxiang say that she can’t marry Ji Baijian, nor can her daughter marry your son? Song Zhizhi, you can’t fight Qin Jingxiang. You might as well give up.”
“Who says I can’t fight that woman! Did she manage to snatch Ji Baijian?” Song Zhizhi was full of defiance towards Qin Jingxiang.
“You just won once.”
“To win Ji Baijian is to win the whole world.” Song Zhizhi confidently declared.
“…Are you trying to subtly show off your love life?” Yin Qin despised.
“That’s just a fact.” Song Zhizhi showed off.
Yin Qin was speechless, “Anyway, your son, Lizhi, was claimed by someone. Don’t fight over little Wanwan with my little cub.”
“Mu Cidian has already refused to arrange a child marriage.”
“Can I not eliminate rival suitors for my little cub first?”
“What about your younger brother?” Song Zhizhi was really trying to make Yin Qin cough up blood with anger.
“As an elder, my brother cannot be disrespectful. Naturally, he wouldn’t fight over a girlfriend with his nephew.”
“I didn’t say that.” Qin Keqin added.
“Are you really my mother?!” Yin Qin exploded.
“In terms of love, we can sever our mother-son relationship.”
Yin Qin felt like he was going to vomit blood.
At this moment, Yin Shi’s adorable voice chimed in, “Brother, I won’t fight over toys with my big nephew. Don’t worry.”
Yin Qin looked at his younger brother with an air of smugness, “See? Our family is so harmonious.”
Everyone was amused by Yin Qin and his brother’s antics.
As for whether they really will fight over toys, and whether this is just a child’s blurted nonsense, these are things for them to consider when they grow up.
After they grow up, who knows what ground-shaking love stories might happen …
The full moon feast ended.
Mu Cidian and Xin Zaozao saw everyone out before they returned to their apartment block in a sedan.
As soon as they got home.
Little Wanwan was clamoring for milk.
Xin Zaozao took Wanwan and went into the room to feed her.
After a while.
Mu Cidian lightly knocked on the door.
No one answered, so he pushed it open.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Upon entering, he saw Xin Zaozao had fallen asleep while still holding Wanwan.
Wanwan was suckling on her breast.
Looking at them, Mu Cidian felt an indescribable emotion.
Lately, Xin Zaozao spent each night waking up at least 2-3 times to feed Wanwan. Each feed lasted at least half an hour. Afterward, while Wanwan might fall asleep, Xin Zaozao often couldn’t fall asleep herself. During the day, she would often take naps. Today, because of Wanwan’s full-moon feast, she didn’t get a nap and must be extremely tired now. That’s why she fell asleep immediately.
And yet, she would never complain.
She would never tell anyone about her physical condition.
Very carefully, Mu Cidian approached and gently took Wanwan into his arms.
The moment he lifted her, Xin Zaozao seemed to stir.
Mu Cidian moved closer to her ear and whispered, “I’ve taken the baby, you rest.”
Xin Zaozao struggled slightly.
Perhaps she was too exhausted, but upon hearing Mu Cidian’s voice, she fell back to sleep.
Just as Mu Cidian was about to leave with Wanwan, he suddenly leaned in and planted a kiss on her lips.
Xin Zaozao was deep in sleep.
Mu Cidian’s kiss was brief, just like a dragonfly skimming the water’s surface.
Then he left Xin Zaozao’s room.
When Xin Zaozao woke up again, it was already deep into the night.
Groggily, she heard a familiar voice speaking in a supremely soft, low tone, “Wanwan, let’s not wake up Mom. Let’s eat very quietly.”
Xin Zaozao was actually awake at that time.
Upon hearing Mu Cidian’s words, her heart warmed.
She watched as Mu Cidian carefully placed the baby on her chest, supporting the baby’s body to help it feed.
He stayed by her side all throughout, afraid to make any noise that would wake her up.
At that moment, for some reason, Xin Zaozao also remained silent.
Even though she was fully awake, she chose to pretend to be asleep.
After the baby fed on one side, they switched to the other.
The baby was particularly well-behaved at night, sleeping once full and not waking up to fuss.
The nanny said that such a baby was like a little angel. Some babies fuss during the night and sleep all day.
After finishing feeding.
Mu Cidian took the baby away.
Xin Zaozao secretly heaved a sigh of relief, intending to get up and take a bath.
She had fallen asleep right after coming back from the full moon celebration for the baby.
Just as she was about to get up, the room door was pushed open by someone again.
Xin Zaozao pretended to sleep again.
Just… like it was instinctive.
She felt Mu Cidian walk into her bathroom, then return to her bed, lift up her clothes, and help her clean the area where the baby had just nursed.
Xin Zaozao’s face was slightly flushed.
But because the room light was dim, you couldn’t tell unless you looked very closely.
At this moment, Mu Cidian probably didn’t notice this detail.
Mu Cidian cleaned her up.
Xin Zaozao thought he would leave… maybe.
At that moment.
She discreetly clenched her fist.
She felt a warm presence drawing near…
She was paralyzed.
She didn’t know whether to push him away at this moment.
But within the time of her hesitation and struggle, he let her go.
She heard him whisper, “The taste isn’t very good.”
If it tasted bad, why did he continue!
Mu Cidian then used a towel to help her clean up, adjusted her clothes, and then left.
The bedroom door closed.
Xin Zaozao took a deep breath.
A deep, deep breath.
Just now, she felt like she was always holding her breath.
Outside the bedroom, someone’s heart was also beating irregularly and uncontrollably.
Xin Zaozao sat up on the bed.
She adjusted her breathing and went to take a bath in the bathroom.
Because the baby needs to feed every day, she made sure to clean that area particularly well. While cleaning, her face unexpectedly flushed red hot.
After a while.
She came out of the bathroom after finishing her shower.
After waking up, and then taking a bath, she had no desire to sleep at all.
She took out her phone casually, wanting to pass the time by watching the news when suddenly she remembered something. She opened her bank app, transferred a large sum of money to Mu Cidian.
The full moon celebration that day, she had a feeling that it might have cost Mu Cidian his life’s savings.
She was not so cold-blooded as to remain indifferent.
After transferring the money.
Suddenly a message popped up on her phone.
Xin Zaozao was surprised.
Mu Cidian wasn’t asleep?
Mu Cidian indeed wasn’t asleep.
The burning feeling inside his heart hadn’t subsided, making it difficult for him to sleep.
When suddenly he heard the message notification sound on his phone, he picked it up to see Xin Zaozao had transferred a substantial amount to him.
He smiled faintly and texted her back, “Is this your gratuity for my service just now? As always, you’re very generous.”
His tone was clearly teasing.
Xin Zaozao looked at the text message, feeling a mix of embarrassment and anger.
Just now, did he know she was pretending to sleep?
He knew and still acted.
Xin Zaozao gritted her teeth and replied, “For the baby’s birthday feast.”
As if she didn’t understand what he was implying.
Being highly emotionally intelligent, Mu Cidian naturally didn’t expose her. He replied, “As a father, it’s my duty to hold a birthday party for the baby.”
“I don’t want to take advantage of you,” Xin Zaozao said, thinking that Mu Cidian was just showing off.
“Then, I’m obliged to accept,” Mu Cidian said, not saying more.
Sometimes, he didn’t want to disrupt the fragile emotional foundation they had finally built over unnecessary things.
Ever since then.
Xin Zaozao would occasionally deposit money into Mu Cidian’s account.
Sometimes once every half a month, sometimes once a month.
During their time living together, basically all of the household expenses were shouldered by Mu Cidian, so Xin Zaozao transferred money to him in cash.
Her excuse was that she didn’t want to take advantage of Mu Cidian. In fact, she was afraid that Mu Cidian couldn’t afford their household expenses.
Besides, although Mu Cidian has been assisting with the management of the Xin Group during this period, he never asked for a penny, nor ever mentioned it.
The days were orderly, sweet, and harmonious.
When the baby was four and a half months old.
Xin Zaozao started working again.
She couldn’t afford to be a full-time stay-at-home mom. Leaving the working world for over four months was already at her limit.
After several years of working experience, she was capable of handling many risks and pressures alone, but deep down, she was not a very secure person. Only working could make her feel grounded!
Before she decided to go back to work, she had already stored up some milk for the baby. When she left in the morning, she would just pump a bottle of milk in advance for the baby, ensuring the baby’s daily milk intake. She would also carry a breast pump to work and reminded herself to pump milk on time.
Though she couldn’t take care of the baby personally, she would do everything she could for the baby.
After she pumped the milk, changed into her clothes, and put on light makeup, she went out.
Mu Cidian was comforting their daughter Xin Wanwan to sleep at this moment.
At just over four months, Wanwan started to cling to people and developed a dependence on Mu Cidian.
Ever since the baby started using a bottle to feed, she needed Mu Cidian to hold her in order to fall asleep. The nanny and Xin Zaozao both tried, but as soon as the baby wanted to sleep, they couldn’t hold her. Back in Mu Cidian’s arms, she would stop fussing, babbling to herself, and sweetly drifting off to sleep.
The nanny couldn’t help but smile, “They say a daughter was her father’s lover in a past life, looking at little Wanwan, it’s like she didn’t even drink spicy soup.”
Xin Zaozao felt the same way.
She always noticed the sparkle in Xin Wanwan’s eyes when she looked at her dad.
