I Bacame the Mother of His Child-Chapter 69 - 68: Ears Getting Pregnant

Back at Sichuan Pavilion, after picking up Zhao Nan and Song Chengguang, Xu Xiuxiu held one child’s hand in each of hers as she walked them home. Although Song Chengguang struggled to keep up, waddling along, Xu Xiuxiu was still very content, "Were Nannan and your brother well-behaved today?" Xu Xiuxiu asked the two children beside her, her tangled emotions gently soothed by the memory of Cai Qingqing, who had been so well-mannered and understanding in the hospital.

Zhao Nan smiled, his eyes crinkling as he looked up at Xu Xiuxiu, "Auntie, both my brother and I were very good today." His expression adorably pleaded for praise.

"Good, good." Song Chengguang echoed Zhao Nan’s comment, attempting to take a big step forward with his short legs, his little body mostly hopping through the air, then he laughed gleefully, clearly enjoying the sensation of walking along with his mom.

Xu Xiuxiu gazed down at the two lively and healthy children, "Then, should I make something delicious to reward you tonight?" Good children deserve to be cherished, protected, and rewarded!

"I want to eat crab, Auntie." Zhao Nan had seen many big crabs in the Sichuan Pavilion’s kitchen that day. The sight of the eight-legged creature had piqued his curiosity and he wanted to taste it, even though his Aunt had already given a crab for him and his brother to eat, he still really wanted to have it again, as the taste was so delicious.

"Fishy fish." Song Chengguang also began to make his choice of food.

"Brother is talking about the boiled fish slices that Grandpa Huang made." Zhao Nan knew the "fishy fish" Song Chengguang mentioned was the staff meal cooked in the kitchen by Grandpa Huang today, which included boiled fish slices. Worried that Xu Xiuxiu might not understand Song Chengguang’s words, he promptly completed the sentence for him.

"Crab and boiled fish slices? Alright, then let’s head to the market right now to buy the fish and look for crabs, shall we?" Xu Xiuxiu lifted the children’s arms, cheerfully suggesting.

"Yay!" Both children were beyond excited. Zhao Nan was genuinely thrilled, while Song Chengguang was foolishly elated without fully understanding.

Arriving at the market with the children, Xu Xiuxiu managed to buy fish suitable for boiled fish slices but didn’t find any large crabs. After all, this market was somewhat small and rudimentary.

Seeing this, Xu Xiuxiu hesitated, wondering whether to visit a bigger aqua market a bit further away, especially since Zhao Nan’s visibly undisguised disappointment was so obvious, "Don’t be sad, okay? We can go to a larger aqua market to look, or we can go back to Sichuan Pavilion to get some crabs to cook at home." Xu Xiuxiu guessed that Zhao Nan must have seen the crabs at Sichuan Pavilion and that’s why he wanted to eat them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked for crabs since it was well past the season for them.

"No need, Auntie, the boiled fish slices are good too. Nannan loves them as well. We can eat big crabs next time. My aunt said that children shouldn’t eat a lot of big crabs; it’s not good for the health," Zhao Nan shook his head, not wanting to inconvenience Aunt Xiuxiu just because he wanted to eat crabs.

"Indeed, crabs can be quite cooling, but it’s fine to eat them in moderation occasionally," Xu Xiuxiu explained.

"No need, Nannan will save room to eat them next time!" Zhao Nan shook his head again gently, patting his little belly.

"Alright then! Shall Auntie cook a big meal for Nannan next time?" Xu Xiuxiu did not insist any further, thinking that next time she would definitely prioritize Zhao Nan’s wishes. With that, Xu Xiuxiu took the two youngsters home.

As autumn and winter brought colder weather, Xu Xiuxiu had the two children go to bed after dinner at about eight o’clock. After ensuring they were both comfortably asleep, she turned and headed back to her own room.

"Xiuxiu." A voice that hadn’t been heard for a long time, yet was so familiar it surprised Xu Xiuxiu, suddenly rang out.

"..." Xu Xiuxiu spun around sharply, her gaze immediately finding the figure leaning against the wall not far away. It was only after she clearly recognized the person that her heart, which had been protesting wildly to leap out of her chest, finally began to settle down. After a prolonged moment, she said, "You’re back!" Her voice laced with a tension that surprised even herself.

She had not expected to miss Song Yuanhuan during his absence. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Come here." Song Yuanhuan’s voice, hoarse, cut through the quiet, gesturing to Xu Xiuxiu to come closer.

Xu Xiuxiu hesitated momentarily, "Come there for what? Aren’t you going to come in? Or do you have to leave again soon?" Xu Xiuxiu asked, puzzled yet obediently stepping forward, guided by the faint light sneaking through the door crack from the master bedroom. It allowed Xu Xiuxiu and the dark, deep eyes of Song Yuanhuan to lock gaze.
