Chapter 75 [VIP]

Xiao Chuan made a special detour to pick up Mi Yao, and as soon as he saw her, he couldn't help but reminisce about the two of them spending half a month together in the room.

For a moment, I even wanted to abandon the complicated political affairs of Yizhou and stay here to relive the feeling of being alone in the world with only the two of us.

Mi Yao understood his meaning and realized that because he was reluctant to leave but also wanted to hurry back to Yizhou, he planned to make the most of the time and cause as much trouble as possible, wishing that she would cling to him.

So they coaxed and scolded him into leaving the house.

As soon as he stepped out the door, Mi Yao bolted it. Hearing the noise, she even placed a chair against the doorway, afraid that if he didn't slow down, she would tremble and try to carry a table to block the door. To save her trouble, he did as she wished and finished up the mess.

Knowing his own character, even though he didn't intend to do anything at first, he couldn't help touching her, and eventually became aroused.

So when he returned in the evening, instead of trying to pry open the inner locks on Mi Yao's door, he went straight to sleep in Xiao Liang's room.

Xiao Liang got up to urinate in the middle of the night and found someone else on the bed. He stared at Xiao Chuan's face for a long time, feeling both familiar and strange: "Are you Shui?"

The child was drowsy and his voice was unclear. If Xiao Chuan hadn't dodged quickly, the "water" in his mouth would have sprayed all over him.

"It's your father."

Xiao Chua gave a cold reminder.

"oh."

Xiao Liang squinted, cupped his face in his hands, and examined him closely again. After confirming that his appearance was the same as his father in his memory, he nodded: "It's Father."

Xiao Chuan moved her face and shook off the small hand on her face.

His hand was shaken off, and Xiao Liang hugged Xiao Chuan's waist and lay down again, saying in a childish voice, "Father, you're back. I missed you so much."

Knowing Xiao Liang's usual habit of saying one sweet thing and another venomous thing, Xiao Chuan waited for his next sentence. After a moment of silence, Xiao Chuan looked down and saw that Xiao Liang had closed his eyes and fallen asleep again.

Before falling asleep, Xiao Liang covered him with the blanket that had been kicked off, while he himself only had a corner of the blanket on his stomach.

Her chubby white face pressed tightly against his body, and her short little hands, unable to hug his waist, grabbed the hem of his clothes instead.

He used to feel that he couldn't get too close to people. For example, when he adopted Xiao Shan and the others, he would pick them up but not hug them.

He also felt a brief wave of nausea when he learned about what the couple did at night.

But who would have thought that he now wished Mi Yao could grow on him? He no longer rejected the child's advances as before; instead, he felt a pang of guilt.

Xiao Liang slept soundly until dawn. He got up early to do his morning exercise. Several hours later, Xiao Liang woke up and remembered that he had slept in the same bed with Xiao Chuan the night before. He stared at Xiao Chuan for a long time while eating.

"how?"

Xiao Chuan recalled that he didn't recognize him last night, and he didn't want to repeat the scene and make him remind him again that he was his father.

"Father, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have touched your face with the hand that had touched the bird last night."

Xiao Liang looked guilty. He remembered that last night when he got up to pee, he found Xiao Chuan sleeping in his bed. He also remembered that after peeing, he didn't wash his hands before cupping Xiao Chuan's face to see who he was, and he did it twice.

Mi Yao entered the room just in time to hear this, and couldn't help but show her disgust, avoiding looking at Xiao Chuan's face, afraid of offending her eyes.

Xiao Chu: ...

What did he have to feel guilty about last night? He had never hit Xiao Liang in the face, which was already the best thing a father could do.

After returning to the room, Xiao Chuan ignored Mi Yao's reluctance, took Mi Yao's hand and rubbed it on his face for a while: "Alright, now you're clean, but you still smell like me."

"Oh."

Seeing that he had made enough of a fuss, Mi Yao tried to pull her hand away, but Xiao Chuan kissed her palm before releasing her.

"Leaving today? Your brother is going crazy missing his wife and children. If you linger here any longer, he'll be coming soon."

Mi Yao had no doubt about the truth of these words.

Since they left Yizhou, Yu Shaoyang has been sending letter after letter. If it weren't for his official position that required him to stay in Jiannan, he would have loved to come to Jingzhou with them and watch over Zhen Jing during her childbirth.

Zhen Jing also misses Yu Shaoyang terribly, especially after giving birth to her daughter half a month ago, she longs for the family to be reunited.

Knowing that she was willing to stay here with Zhen Jing during her postpartum period, and that Zhen Jing was unwilling to stay here any longer, Mi Yao nodded: "Knowing that you could come at any time, I had many carriages prepared. I want to take all those children to Yizhou."

Xiao Chuan had no objection to this.

"Then we'll have Pu Qing buy a manor."

"No need, I already wrote to Shuanghua a long time ago and asked her to find a suitable place."

It would be better if she had a well-thought-out plan.

"If you need my help, remember to ask me."

Upon hearing this, Mi Yao blinked and said, "Who did you mistake me for, my lord? If you didn't confuse me with other women, how could you say such a thing? I'm the kind of person who doesn't rely on external help and prefers to work hard and suffer silently."

Faced with her question, Xiao Chuan didn't hear a single word clearly, his attention was already focused on her. Seeing that she stopped talking and didn't move, he couldn't help but feel sorry.

Although I didn't hear clearly, her lips were definitely kissable.

If it weren't for the fact that they were setting off today, Xiao Chuan really wouldn't want to give his mouth a rest.

The large-scale transport ensured everyone was on board and had enough food for the journey. Xiao Chuan then mounted his horse.

Seeing that Xiao Chua didn't squeeze into the carriage, Mi Yao breathed a sigh of relief, but her relief didn't last long. De jumped into her carriage.

"Why is she still here?"

Xiao Chuan entered the car and saw that the windows were closed. Mi Yao was holding a sleeping baby in her arms, and her tone was clearly impatient.

"If you don't like it, you can go to Xiao Shan's carriage."

Xiao Shan and the others were originally in her carriage, but seeing that the baby was asleep, they ran to the other children's carriages to play games with them and pass the time, so as not to disturb her.

Xiao Chuan didn't leave, but sat down next to Mi Yao.

He knew Zhen Jing had given birth, but this was the first time he had seen his niece's appearance.

The baby's face, wrapped in a bundle, was so small it seemed smaller than his fist. Its eyes were closed, and it would occasionally lick its lips or furrow its brow, as if it were having some kind of dream.

"He looks somewhat like you."

Xiao Chuan examined the child's round face and spoke.

“I also think so. My brother often said he hoped the child would look like me and my sister-in-law, and now it seems that the child really does look like me and my sister-in-law.”

Mi Yao couldn't help but smile as she looked at the child; Yu Shaoyang should be satisfied now.

Xiao Chuan was willing to take a few more glances at the child because he resembled Mi Yao, but when he heard Mi Yao say that the child looked like her and someone else, even if that other person was a woman, Xiao Chuan's brow furrowed.

"Is it true that you don't like children?"

He didn't think much of the adopted children, only that Mi Yao pitied them for having nowhere to go. But now, as Mi Yao held the baby, Xiao Chuan looked at her face and felt that her face was glowing with a warm, luminous light, not at all like someone who disliked children.

Looking at her appearance, he couldn't help but imagine that it wouldn't be bad to have a child who looked like her and him.

"If you want to have children, I can stop the medication at any time. As long as you take care of yourself after stopping the medication, it won't affect our ability to conceive."

As Xiao Chuan spoke, he looked at Mi Yao, and then he clearly saw that after he finished speaking, a look of horror appeared on Mi Yao's face.

The look on her face was even more frightened than when she first saw his object, muttering to herself that something so big shouldn't exist in this world.
