Later, Xiao Mo's mother became pregnant unexpectedly. Considering her advanced age, she didn't really want to keep the child.

After learning that his mother was pregnant, Xiao Mo talked to her about his thoughts. It turned out that Xiao Mo's mother had been urging him and Yun Qi to have a baby. Yun Qi didn't think much of it and just wanted to let nature take its course, but Xiao Mo was determined not to have a child. He said he was selfish and that he had enough of Yun Qi in his life, and he didn't want a child to distract Yun Qi.

Xiao Mo: "Mom, I don't want to have children. I've decided to be childless with Yun Qi."

"Mom, if you really love children, you can consider keeping them. I respect your decision."

Xiao Mo talked with his mother for a long time...

In the end, Xiao Mo's mother decided to give birth to the baby in her womb, and Yun Qi expressed that she respected Xiao Mo's mother's decision.

After ten months of pregnancy, Xiao Mo's mother gave birth to a healthy baby boy.

Xiao Mo and Yun Qi went home to visit Xiao Mo's mother and saw the little baby, who was quite adorable.

Yunqi couldn't resist teasing the baby...

Since giving birth, Xiao Mo's mother's personality has become gentler, and she is much kinder to Yun Qi. Seeing Yun Qi playing with the baby, she couldn't help but smile: "Qi Qi, you seem to really like the baby. Don't you really plan to have one yourself?"

Yunqi was taken aback, then smiled and shook her head.

Xiao Mo: "Mom, didn't I already tell you? Qiqi and I don't have that idea."

Xiao Mo's mother: "What if you want to again someday?"

Xiao Mo said firmly, "No! Having Qiqi by my side is enough for me in this life!"

Xiao Mo's mother: "...Fine...You two can live your own lives...I won't interfere anymore."

"Mom, thank you."

"There's no need to thank me. Mom just wants you to be happy!"

"We will be happy!"

Xiao Mo took Yun Qi's hand, and the two smiled at each other.

Seeing how well the two of them clicked, Xiao Mo's mother was truly witnessing them being publicly displayed affection...

In the days that followed, Xiao Qingyi (Xiao Mo's younger brother) was often left with Xiao Mo by Xiao Mo's mother to be raised.

Even after giving birth to Xiao Qingyi, Xiao Mo's mother didn't stop painting. Sometimes, when she was busy with art exhibitions, she would leave Xiao Qingyi with Xiao Mo. In Xiao Mo's mother's words, "Both Mom and Dad are very busy at home, and Xiao Mo is the only one who is free. If you don't help take care of your younger brother, who will?"

Xiao Mo was speechless. If this wasn't his own brother, he would have thrown him away! He was disturbing his and Yun Qi's time together! This brother wasn't cute at all; he was just trying to steal Yun Qi's attention. He demanded a hug from Yun Qi the moment he arrived, and if she didn't hug him, he'd act pitiful… How awful!

Xiao Mo's mother had originally hoped that the young couple would help Xiao Qingyi take care of the baby, and perhaps he would fall in love with it and decide to have one himself! If Xiao Mo's mother knew that this move had the opposite effect, I wonder what she would think…

Xiao Mo's relationship with Xiao Qingyi further solidified his resolve not to have children.

Xiao Mo tolerated the little guy's misbehavior once or twice, but he became increasingly unruly! Xiao Mo wasn't going to indulge him! He simply carried him to his father's company! He'd raise his own child! Let CEO Xiao (Xiao Mo's father) deal with the headaches himself!!

Xiao Qingyi has started kindergarten and is beginning to understand things... He still likes Yun Qi, his sister-in-law, and comes to Xiao Mo's house to play with her whenever he has free time...

Xiao Mo had to be wary of his younger brother coming over every weekend... Xiao Mo was really annoyed by it all, and just then he received a mission to deliver experimental data and samples, so he simply took Yun Qi and left to do the mission...

The thought of Xiao Qingyi's bewildered expression when he came to his house happily only to find that neither of them were there made Xiao Mo feel relieved!

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mo had such a childish side. Yun Qi asked, "Why do you always bully Xiao Yi (Xiao Qingyi)?"

Xiao Mo complained, "How did I bully him?! He's the one who's been hogging you, and you haven't had time for me at all..."

"Isn't Xiao Yi your younger brother? You're jealous of a little kid?!"

"I hate him just because he's my brother! If it were anyone else, I would have kicked him out immediately!!" Xiao Mo whined. "It's a good thing we didn't have a baby. If everyone was as clingy to you as Xiao Qingyi, I would definitely beat him to death!!"

Yunqi comforted her, "Okay, okay, don't be jealous!! It's precisely because he's your brother that I'm more patient with him. You'll always be my number one!!"

"Mmm!" Xiao Mo buried his head in Yun Qi's arms and smiled triumphantly where Yun Qi couldn't see.

Who says a man who's strong and upright can't be cute and affectionate?! Look, Kiki falls for it!

From then on, Yunqi put Xiao Mo first. Even when Xiao Qingyi came to their house, Yunqi would consider Xiao Mo's feelings first.

Sometimes Xiao Qingyi is indeed too clingy to Yunqi. Knowing that Xiao Mo is jealous, Yunqi starts to show affection in front of Xiao Qingyi. Although it is a bit immoral to show affection in front of a child, there is no other way. The child is too clingy to Yunqi, so Yunqi can only consider Xiao Qingyi in practice—she is more clingy to Xiao Mo!

Xiao Qingyi is loved by his parents, as well as his maternal grandparents, uncles, cousins, and other relatives. The whole family is happy to revolve around him.

But Yunqi only has Xiao Mo! Xiao Mo will unconditionally spoil her, but they won't. Perhaps they'll take better care of her out of respect for Xiao Mo, but all of this is based on the premise that she's Xiao Mo's wife...

For her, there is only Xiao Mo!! Fortunately, Xiao Mo is also devoted to her!!!

The two knew and cherished each other, from youth to old age, witnessing the growing strength of their motherland, and living happily together for the rest of their lives...

On her deathbed, Yun Qi stroked Xiao Mo's wrinkled face and said, "Thank you. I've been so happy to have you by my side throughout my life!"
