Chu Ningyi took a deep breath before he lowered his head and looked straight into her eyes. “What is it?” he asked in a low voice.
“Today was the first time that I felt that the baby wasn’t mine alone,” said Shui Anluo seriously. She finally felt that he was the child’s dad when she watched him bathe the little darling. He was the person who had had the little darling with her.
Chu Ningyi’s grip around her tightened a little as if he was enduring some sort of emotion patiently. Finally, he restrained himself and planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Being foolish again, aren’t we? Did you manage to get pregnant with him on your own?” Chu Ningyi teased in a hoarse voice.
Shui Anluo slapped him on the chest then turned away from him, ignoring him.
Why was it that whenever he whispered sweet nothings, she would go along with it but when she did the same, he would always be such a disappointment!
Chu Ningyi chuckled. He kept the fact that he was truly moved to himself.
“Go to sleep.” Chu Ningyi kissed her on the neck and murmured in a soft voice.
Shui Anluo was not sure if she was actually sleepy or if Chu Ningyi’s soothing words had some effect. She proceeded to fall asleep in Chu Ningyi’s arms very quickly.
Chu Ningyi tucked her into the blanket but did not sleep.
It was quite likely that Mo Lusu would consider doing something underhanded and his employees had previously spotted Shui Moyun in Tibet. If there were any abnormalities in Shui Moyun’s body, he would not have been able to stay at a location with such a high altitude like Tibet.
Therefore, there should not be any issues with his constitution.
Mo Lusu was the younger cousin that he had never concerned himself with for so many years. Would he understand him at all?
In the middle of the night, Shui Anluo dazedly felt the person next to her get up and carry the little darling into the bathroom. Looks like the little darling had pooped again. However, she could only hear small, silent sobs and Chu Ningyi had carried him away as quickly as he could.
He had not looked for Maid Yu and had carried the baby into the bathroom on his own.
Shui Anluo hugged the pillow as a smile crept up on the corners of her lips. Finally, she fell into a deep sleep.
With a man like this by her side, she would never let anyone take him away from her, not even Yuan Jiayi.
By the time Shui Anluo woke up the next day, it was already ten-thirty in the morning. The little darling was zooming around the bedroom. When he saw that his mommy was awake, he drove his beloved steed with his short little legs to the side of the bed as he called out ‘Mama’ the entire way.
Shui Anluo reached out and scooped him into her arms. She then picked up the watch on the table and checked the time. Has her sleeping pattern been completely disrupted?
“Young Madam, you’re up.” As Shui Anluo was holding the little darling and staring into space, someone spoke up from the doorway. Shui Anluo looked up but she did not recognize this person.
“You’re…?”
“Young Madam, the Young Master sent me to take care of you. Maid Yu isn’t feeling well so allow me to take care of you and the Little Master,” the new maid replied.
Shui Anluo felt shaken. Finally, she smiled awkwardly and combed her fingers through her hair. “There’s no need, I can do it on my own.” She was used to Maid Yu and she did not want another person to enter her space.
“But this…”
“Let me handle the Young Master.” Shui Anluo continued to smile. She only washed up after she sent the new maid away and changed the dressing on her foot on her own. After that, she carried the little darling downstairs.
Once she arrived downstairs, Shui Anluo headed to Maid Yu’s room. “Maid Yu, are you feeling better?” Shui Anluo asked as she knocked on the door. She only entered the room once she received permission.
Maid Yu was lying on the bed. Her face was as sallow as ever but she still managed to raise her hand and gestured for Shui Anluo to look at the news. She looked as if she had just received a great shock.
