Chapter 737: Happy Ending
Ji Nuan carried the chubby and adorable little Mo Jinning and walked away to say: “Daddy is going to cook now~ Let’s return obediently to your little bed to drink milk. Otherwise, if Mommy doesn’t have any dinner tonight, I’ll have to steal your milk powder.”
Mo Jingshen found Ji Nuan’s method of threatening their baby to be very shameless. He was even more startled by her shameless desire of wanting to snatch the babies’ milk powder.
“...Did I starve you?” Out of nowhere, he brought out a small plate of dessert. At the same time, he patted her head. His posture was identical to the way she patted the children’s head when she fed them.
Ji Nuan carried the baby and her plate of dessert to return to the living room in satisfaction.
This afternoon she had spent her time eating and drinking Auntie Chen’s food, and lazing on the couch to watch the television while nibbling on fruits and snacks.
Ji Nuan took a moment to self-reflect and with the spoon in her mouth, she raised her voice to ask, “Have I been eating too much recently?”
She didn’t gain much weight from her pregnancy, and after the past three months, she had lost most of it to return to her original weight. Auntie Chen had said that she would look more attractive if she ate more, so Ji Nuan had taken advantage of her breastfeeding stage to throw her concerns about gaining weight away. As a result, she had been eating more and more everyday. However, she still did not gain any weight.
The man’s lips curved lightly: “No matter how much you eat, I’ll still be able to raise you.”
——
In a blink of an eye, Mo Jinan and Mo Jinning had turned 18 months old.
It was the Spring Festival, the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and the day they would traditionally welcome wealth into their homes.
However, their family’s god of wealth had left to Shine to work overtime.
Auntie Chen and the helpers were all busy preparing dumplings, leaving Ji Nuan, An An, and Ning Ning to stare at each other with big and small eyes.
En, she was the big eyes, while the two of them were the small eyes. At the moment, the little ones’ faces were still smaller than her hand. Even if their eyes were big and black like grapes, they still couldn’t be compared to hers. It was fine to compare right now, but in a couple years, there would be no way for her to compete against them. This was especially so for Ning Ning. Her features were basically a smaller version of her own, yet it was difficult to describe the ways that made her even more beautiful than her mother. It was likely because Ning Ning’s expressions often resemble Mo Jingshen’s?
On the other hand, An An’s features were especially similar to his father’s. Since young he had been a little handsome boy. However, his expressions often resembled hers.
Even though the two children clearly gave off a different feeling, whenever they were placed side by side, they appeared especially similar.
And so, a human’s DNA was truly miraculous. It could bring both the father’s and mother’s best features to the children, and cause the qualities of two completely different people to fit seamlessly in one body.
That night, their family’s god of wealth, Boss Mo, worked overtime until it was past dinner. The company had some last minute matters that he had to handle personally. As a result, he had no choice but to return home late. In order to express his apology, he specially brought three portions of yogurt and lollipops home.
Two of the yogurt were from a brand that specialised in children snacks, and the lollipops were handmade without any food additives. It was definitely safe for the little ones to eat.
The ones prepared for Ji Nuan were made with the same ingredients, but were much bigger and were flavoured with fruit sugars.
Case in point, in his eyes, Ji Nuan’s position was basically the same as An An and Ning Ning’s. They were all little children that needed to be coaxed. Even though he was only late for an hour, he still rushed to coax her, to prevent his wife from being unhappy.
Since Boss Mo had this level of self-awareness, Ji Nuan would take advantage of it. She held her lollipop and ate it happily.
——
After the Spring Festival, Mrs. Wan Zhu and Mo Shaoze missed the children greatly and brought the children to America to live for two to three months with them. Auntie Chen was too used to caring for the children and could not set her mind at ease. Thus, she also followed the children to America.
Ever since the children were brought away by their grandparents, Ji Nuan finally had the time to go busy herself at her company. After work, she would lazily stroll through various pet shops. As she watched the various, beautiful little kittens in the shop, she would dream of the day she could finally live as a winner in life who had both a cat and children.
She never would have thought that, the very first time she bought a white ragdoll cat home, she would be blocked at the door by Mr. Mo who had abruptly returned home.
They stared at each other without speaking. He indicated with his eyes for her to speak first.
Ji Nuan swallowed her saliva and was slightly nervous. His stern expression seemed to say: “I’ll let you run 39 meters ahead first.”
“I want to raise it.” When one met their enemies on a path, the braver one would emerge victorious. She decisively raised her head and got straight to the point.
“No,” the man did not hesitate to reply.
“I’ll have an extra half a bowl of rice for dinner everyday for a month,” she began to negotiate.
“Is there any meaning in that?” he asked in disdain.
“...I’ll wear that kitten ear lingerie that you really like to warm your bed for a week.” At important moments, people were often shameless; just like the way Ji Nuan was right now.
“One month.” The man had gained an inch, yet was trying for a foot.
“Two weeks!” she haggled.
“Two months.”
“...” Mr. Mo, can’t you argue like a normal person?!
“One month and that’s it!” In the end, Ji Nuan could only grit her teeth in humiliation.
Just like this, they successfully gained a new member in their family.
Ji Nuan named the ragdoll cat, Mo Xiaoshen. [1. Meaning, Mo Little Shen]
Everytime she called the cat, Mo Jingshen would subconsciously raise his head. Afterward, he would pretend to cough and shift his focus back to his pile of documents.
Hmph, Great Mo Jingshen, to think you would have such a day.
——
Ji Nuan’s favourite time of the day was when she would secretly open her eyes every morning.
At that time, the sun would have just begun to rise.
Mo Jingshen punctually appeared in the kitchen on the second floor and unhurriedly began to prepare breakfast for the children who had returned to the country. At times, in order not to wake her up, he would close the bedroom door tightly after stepping out.
Thus, Ji Nuan secretly watched him through the gap between the door as he prepared An An and Ning Ning’s breakfast. He then cut the fresh fish into small little pieces and placed it onto a small plate before Mo Xiaoshen. Afterward, he stood up to wash his hands and continued busying himself.
The sunshine had tugged aside the black curtains on the city and brought a gentle warmth with it. It slowly moved over his shoulders and draped a layer of warm gold over his silhouette.
Under the sunlight, he turned around, and she saw that his eyes were filled with the deep, deep love only she knew of.
