"Luo Luo, don't worry. We will be heading back to the capital soon. We'll go straight to the General's Mansion for a few days so your father and mother can have a good look at their grandson."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Beichen walked into the inner room and looked at Yun Qingluo.
Yun Qingluo stood up and went to greet them. Two maids bowed, and Mo Beichen waved them away.
The two glanced at Yun Qingluo, then hesitated, as if they wanted to say something but couldn't.
Yun Qingluo nodded and said with a smile, "You may all go down now. Prepare hot water; the prince will be taking a bath later."
The two men then quietly agreed and left.
Mo Beichen reached out and pulled his wife into his arms, saying aggrievedly, "The people around Luo Luo don't even listen to me anymore."
Yun Qingluo raised her hand and tapped Mo Beichen's nose. "Don't think I don't know you're secretly delighted. You'd love for them to only obey my orders."
Mo Beichen feigned displeasure, "How can I be happy when they disobey my orders?"
Yun Qingluo said helplessly, "Doesn't this prove their loyalty? Alright, have you had dinner yet? I haven't seen you come back for dinner all evening."
A warm feeling flashed in Mo Beichen's eyes as he said indulgently, "You ate outside with the soldiers. I brought your favorite osmanthus cake."
"Is it Grandma Yao's osmanthus cake?" Yun Qingluo's eyes lit up.
Mo Beichen took out a package from his pocket, nodded and said, "You're really smart. I heard from your second brother that you didn't eat much last night because you were worried about the child. Come and eat with us."
Mo Beichen pulled Yun Qingluo to sit at the table, opened the package, and found that the osmanthus cake inside was still steaming.
Yun Qingluo's eyes welled up with tears; this was her Achen.
The City Lord's Mansion is located in the western part of Yingyue City, while Granny Yao's stall is three or four streets away from the City Lord's Mansion, in the farthest place from the City Lord's Mansion.
Because that street was full of poor people, the rent there was also very cheap.
Yun Qingluo looked at the steaming osmanthus cake, her eyes welling up with tears.
Ah Chen didn't come home for dinner tonight, probably because he was buying her osmanthus cake.
Despite his obsessive-compulsive disorder about cleanliness, he still kept the osmanthus cake in his bosom.
Was it because she once sighed and said that the osmanthus cake from Grandma Yao's house was best eaten when it was hot?
He never expected that he would remember something she said so casually.
Mo Beichen glanced at the two little ones, then turned back to see Yun Qingluo staring at the osmanthus cake without eating it. He couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Why aren't you eating it? Don't you like it?"
Mo Beichen was just about to say that it was okay if he didn't like it, and that he would go out and buy whatever he wanted to eat.
Then Yun Qingluo said in a tearful voice, "I like it, I like it very much."
Mo Beichen's heart tightened. He reached out and pulled her into his arms, letting her sit on his lap, and gently patted her back.
"Honey, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell?" Mo Beichen asked cautiously, his voice filled with concern.
Yun Qinglu shook her head, letting Achen wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then she took his hand and said, "I'm just happy, happy that Achen can take my casual words to heart."
In her previous life, Yun Qingluo loved the wrong person and was met with deception and betrayal. In her life before that, she had never been in a relationship, but she had seen enough couples in modern times.
Being a doctor has given me a lot to see – the pain of separation and death, and the ups and downs of couples around me. I guess I've gained something from that experience.
If someone does something that makes you happy, be sure to tell them your truest feelings and let them know that what they did made you very happy and touched.
It's often said that good men are cultivated, and there's some truth to that.
If you don't put your heart into nurturing him, how can you expect a straight man to turn into a warm and caring man who suits your taste?
Yun Qinglu ate two pieces of osmanthus cake, and then fed Mo Beichen one. Seeing that he was enjoying it, she realized that he didn't usually eat these kinds of cakes.
Could it be?
"Ah Chen, tell me the truth, did you skip dinner?" Yun Qingluo turned her head and stared intently at Mo Beichen.
The two little ones, who had been chattering away, seemed to sense that something was off with their parents' earlier atmosphere, so they shut up and just stared at them with their bright eyes.
Mo Beichen met Yun Qingluo's serious gaze and nodded resignedly.
He was afraid that if he went too late, there wouldn't be any left, so he rushed over as soon as he finished his military affairs. Unexpectedly, there were many people gathered in front of the stall, so Mo Beichen had no choice but to resign himself to queuing up.
That's why I missed dinner.
"Luo Luo, I..." Mo Beichen opened his mouth, intending to explain something, but Yun Qingluo coldly stuffed a piece of osmanthus cake into his mouth.
Yun Qingluo struggled to stand up from Mo Beichen's arms and said softly, "You watch the two little ones, I'll go cook you a bowl of noodles."
Mo Beichen took Yun Qingluo's hand and said, "There are plenty of servants in the manor. Just let them do it. You're not feeling well, so don't overwork yourself."
Yun Qingluo, however, did not allow for a refusal. "I haven't cooked in a long time. Today, I'll take this opportunity to cook you a bowl of noodles. Besides, I'd like to eat half a bowl myself. Wait for me in the room."
After Yun Qinglu finished speaking, she lifted her foot and walked out.
Mo Beichen watched her departing figure and smiled softly.
How could he not love his Luo Luo? He could never love her enough in this lifetime.
When their mother left, the two little ones started babbling.
Mo Beichen got up and sat on the edge of the bed, carefully examining the child that Luo Luo had risked her life to give birth to for him.
He always remembered the night he found Luo Luo; they sat under the stars.
Luo Luo leaned against him and said, "Achen, congratulations on the addition of two more people to your family. From now on, you have me and your children by your side, so you will never be alone again."
Yes, from now on, the four of them will definitely be very happy.
Faced with this scene, Mo Beichen suddenly thought of Han Yixuan, who was far away in the capital.
He was eager to return to the capital.
He wanted to show off to his lifelong single friend and tell everyone that he, Mo Beichen, had become a father.
Mo Beichen felt a slight softness in his palm, and when he looked down, he saw Ze Yan reaching for his ring.
This thumb ring is a symbol of the regent.
Mo Beichen chuckled softly, "You do have good taste."
Yes, they could be nurtured properly.
One day in the future, when Zeyan learns that it was because he mischievously touched his father's thumb ring when he was a child that his father decided to groom him as his successor, he feels regret more than once.
He had always had a dream: to go back to his childhood and slap himself for being so ignorant and touching things he shouldn't have.
Unfortunately, sometimes dreams can only remain dreams. While his younger siblings were laughing and playing, he could only sit in his cold study, learning the tedious and boring ways of rulers and subjects, and the ways of the world.
Yun Qingluo, carrying a plate, pushed open the door and entered the room, where she saw Mo Beichen playing with the two little ones, making them so happy they were completely disoriented.
"Ah Chen, come and eat." Yun Qingluo called softly.
As soon as he finished speaking, six pairs of eyes—one large and two small—looked at him at the same time.
Looking at the three people with remarkably similar bone structures, Yun Qingluo felt her heart overflowing.
In this life, she was very happy, and her Achen was also very happy.
