Chapter 147 Mommy, my baby's stomach is rumbling
Mu Nanyan and Chenchen returned to the military compound. Chenchen remained silent, his brows furrowed, as if he was weighed down by something.
Mu Nanyan saw this and felt worried. She gently took Chenchen's hand, led him to sit on the sofa in the living room, and asked softly:
"Chenchen, what's wrong with you? Are you unhappy?"
Chenchen lowered his head and was silent for a long time before he slowly spoke:
"Mommy, that weird uncle today...is he really my daddy?"
His voice was low, tinged with unease and confusion.
Mu Nanyan's heart tightened. She looked at Chenchen's clear but questioning eyes, sighed softly, and said apologetically:
"I'm sorry, Chenchen, Mommy took so long to tell you the truth."
Chenchen pursed his lips and said firmly:
"I don't like him. I don't want him to be my daddy."
Mu Nanyan was stunned for a moment and asked tentatively:
"Why don't you like him?"
Chenchen raised his head, a hint of stubbornness flashed in his eyes:
"Because he bullies Mommy, and he doesn't even know I exist. He's not worthy of being a father."
Although his tone was childish, it revealed an unquestionable firmness.
Mu Nanyan felt warm in her heart and explained softly:
"Actually...it was Mommy who didn't tell him about your existence."
Chenchen shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of precocious understanding:
"Mommy doesn't want to tell him, it must be because he doesn't make Mommy feel safe. I don't like people that Mommy doesn't like, and I have a godfather who treats me very well."
Mu Nanyan didn't expect Chenchen to be so sensible. She felt both relieved and distressed. She reached out and gently touched Chenchen's head, her eyes full of doting:
"Chenchen is so good, thank you for understanding Mommy."
However, Chenchen's face suddenly drooped again, as if he was thinking of something unhappy. Seeing this, Mu Nanyan hurriedly asked:
"Chenchen, what's wrong?"
Chenchen lowered his head, his voice choked:
"Mommy told that weird uncle before that I was just an accident... So, did Mommy not want me in the first place?"
Mu Nanyan felt a pang in her heart. She didn't expect Chenchen to have such wild thoughts because of a single sentence. She immediately hugged Chenchen tightly in her arms, her tone gentle but firm:
"How is that possible? Mommy loves Chenchen the most. Mommy meant that getting pregnant with you was an accident, but your appearance gave Mommy the biggest surprise. If it wasn't like that, how could Mommy carry you for ten months and give birth to you?"
She gently stroked Chenchen's back and continued:
"Don't worry, Chenchen. Even if Mommy doesn't want everyone, she will never abandon you. You are the most important person to Mommy, do you understand?"
Chenchen leaned in Mu Nanyan's arms, listening to her gentle voice, and the uneasiness in his heart gradually dissipated. He nodded gently and whispered:
"Yeah, I get it, Mommy, I love you the most too."
Mu Nanyan smiled slightly and hugged Chenchen tighter.
At this moment, Mu Nanyan suddenly heard a "gurgling" sound. She looked in the direction of the sound and her eyes fell on Chenchen's belly.
Chenchen looked at her with a wronged expression and said in a baby voice:
"Mommy, my baby's stomach is rumbling."
Mu Nanyan couldn't help but burst out laughing, thinking that children nowadays are really good at using internet slang. She gently pinched Chenchen's nose and asked lovingly:
"Where did you learn that? Were you secretly playing with your phone behind my back?"
Chenchen shook his head innocently:
"I didn't! It's Xiao Nuan who sings this song in my ear every day. I almost have calluses on my ears."
After saying that, he rubbed his ears exaggeratedly, which made Mu Nanyan laugh.
Mu Nanyan couldn't help but think of Su Xiaonuan singing this song. She must be both cute and funny. Just as she was thinking, Chenchen patted her hand again and urged:
"Mommy, my baby's tummy is rumbling again!"
Mu Nanyan came back to her senses and asked with a smile:
"Didn't you eat enough at night? What do you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you."
When Mu Nanyan was mentioned about cooking, Chenchen's face wrinkled up immediately and he said resentfully:
"I haven't eaten Mommy's cooking for a long time."
Mu Nanyan touched his head with some guilt:
"I'm sorry, baby. I was too busy recently and didn't have time to cook for you."
Chenchen was very sensible, waving his hand and saying:
"It's okay, Mommy will just make it up to me today!"
"So what do you want to eat?"
Mu Nanyan asked as she walked towards the kitchen to see what other ingredients were at home.
Recently, Mrs. Shen and Mr. Shen went to other provinces to visit old comrades, her uncle accompanied her aunt back to her parents' home, and Shen Changfeng also returned to the army. Only she and Chenchen were left at home.
Chenchen followed Mu Nanyan happily and opened the refrigerator. There were only some vegetables and a few eggs left. Mu Nanyan smiled awkwardly:
"I haven't eaten at home much recently and forgot to buy groceries."
Chenchen was very considerate, waving his hand and saying:
"It's okay, then mommy can make me some plain noodles. I'm not picky."
When Mu Nanyan mentioned Yangchun noodles, her thoughts drifted away. She recalled the days when she first moved to Yujing Tiancheng and made Yangchun noodles for Lu Yiran. Back then, Lu Yiran always praised her noodles for being delicious and always ate them up...
"Mommy, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze again?"
Chenchen shook her arm gently, bringing her back from her memories.
Mu Nanyan came back to her senses and rubbed Chenchen's hair with a smile:
"It's okay, then go play outside for a while, and Mommy will make you some plain noodles."
"Okay, thank you, Mommy!"
Chenchen nodded happily and ran out of the kitchen happily.
"You are welcome."
Mu Nanyan responded with a smile and then started to get busy. She skillfully boiled water, cooked noodles, beat a poached egg, and sprinkled a few slices of green vegetables on it. Soon, a bowl of steaming hot noodles was ready.
She brought the noodles to the dining table and called out to the living room:
"Chenchen, come and eat noodles!"
"Here I come, Sister Yan!"
Chenchen came over jogging and saw that there was only a bowl of noodles on the table. He couldn't help but frowned.
"Sister Yan, why is there only one bowl? Aren't you going to eat it?"
Mu Nanyan shook her head: "I'm not hungry, you eat it yourself."
"All right."
Chenchen climbed onto the chair, picked up his chopsticks and started eating noodles. Halfway through, he suddenly remembered something and looked up at Mu Nanyan:
"Sister Yan, don't forget to call godfather."
Mu Nanyan was stunned. If Chenchen hadn't reminded her, she would have forgotten about it. However, she didn't show it on her face and said with a smile:
"I remember. You eat first. I'll go call him."
"good."
Chenchen nodded and continued to eat noodles.
Mu Nanyan glanced at the time. It was three o'clock in the afternoon in Country F. She was not sure whether Cui Hao was busy at the moment, but she still called him.
