The little one is three months old. He can turn his head, roll over, laugh, and make simple syllables.
Just then, Wen Nongnong came in, and Gu Huaijin happened to turn around and see her.
When he called out, his younger sister babbled along.
Although she didn't see Wen Nongnong, the little one liked to echo her brother.
Gu Linchao was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized something and turned to look.
Sure enough, the person he had been longing for day and night walked in from outside.
When she suddenly met his dark, deep eyes, Wen Nongnong felt a little embarrassed for some reason.
He left a few days after she gave birth, and he only returned today. The two hadn't seen each other for more than two months.
She thought she would miss him terribly, but with two children to care for, she was busy every day and had very little time to think about him. Over time, she basically stopped thinking about him altogether.
But when she heard the news of his return, she was still overjoyed.
She ran all the way back, deliberately making herself look disheveled, just so he would feel sorry for her.
But now that the person was right in front of her, she suddenly felt a little timid and hesitant.
Is it because the two haven't seen each other for too long?
She stopped, tugged at her sleeve, and hesitated, but her eyes secretly sized him up.
He had lost a lot of weight, and there was weariness and haggardness in his eyes, but he was still so handsome. Even though he had traveled so far, his robes were still clean...
Thinking of this, she suddenly remembered something, her brows furrowed slightly, a hint of annoyance in her expression.
She was so focused on running back to make him feel sorry for her that she forgot to consider whether he would be unhappy with her disheveled appearance.
After all, he is the emperor now, and everyone is desperately trying to stuff women into his harem. He originally had no such intention, but if he sees himself becoming a haggard old woman, will he change his mind?
Thinking of this, she bit her lip, turned around, and wanted to rush into the inner room to tidy herself up properly.
However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, the man's deep voice slowly sounded from behind him.
“Nongnong, come here.”
Wen Nongnong covered her face and stammered, "I...I'll go in for a bit first..."
Gu Linchao frowned slightly. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" As he spoke, he took a pillow and placed it along the edge of the soft couch to prevent the two little ones from rolling over onto the floor before getting up and walking towards her.
When Wen Nong Nong saw the genuine concern and worry on his face, her awkwardness suddenly dissipated, and she didn't care whether she looked good or not.
Seeing the man walking towards her, she lifted the hem of her robe, took two steps back, then took a running start, jumped up, and hung directly on him.
Gu Linchao didn't expect her to run towards him and jump on him, but he still subconsciously reached out and held her steadily.
Meeting the man's teasing gaze, Wen Nongnong's face flushed. She buried her face in his chest and whispered, "Why did you come back without sending anyone to inform me? If I had known you were coming back today, I would have stayed home and waited patiently."
Gu Linchao looked down at the girl in his arms, his heart pounding. This girl always managed to give him unexpected surprises.
"If I had sent someone to inform you first, wouldn't I have missed seeing you dressed as a man? Where did you go just now?" His gaze fell on her, scrutinizing her carefully.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment before realizing that she was still wearing men's clothing.
I had just rushed back, thinking that he couldn't know I had gone to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion, but I forgot to take off my robes first.
She's so stupid; she completely forgot about such a huge flaw.
However, she quickly came up with an excuse, "Of course, I'll go shopping. You know, I'm so beautiful. If I just walked around like this, I'd definitely attract unwanted attention and cause unnecessary trouble. So I thought of dressing up as a man. See, aren't I clever?"
Gu Linchao found her words amusing and said, "I think it's more accurate to say she has a thick skin."
Wen Nongnong pouted, "You didn't even praise me..."
Gu Linchao's gaze fell on her pink lips, his eyes darkening. He suddenly lowered his head and kissed her lips, but then frowned. "Have you been drinking?"
Wen Nongnong: "..."
She only took a tiny sip, how could he smell that?
“No, I didn’t drink.” She immediately denied it.
"Wen Nongnong!" Gu Linchao emphasized.
Dressed in men's clothing and smelling of alcohol, do you really think he's that easy to fool?
Wen Nong Nong shrugged and got off him. Seeing his stern face, she couldn't help but preemptively say, "Why are you being so fierce? You haven't been back for so long, and I've been thinking about you the whole time. I didn't expect you to be so fierce to me as soon as you came back."
As she spoke, she whimpered and squeezed out two tears.
Seeing her like this, Gu Linchao gave in, "Nongnong..."
"Wow, ooh..."
The baby's sudden cry interrupted him.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, then forgot about acting. She wiped the tears from her face with her sleeve, quickly went over, and picked up her crying son.
"Mommy's here, baby, don't cry..."
Almost as soon as she held him in her arms, the little guy stopped crying and even grinned at her.
Wen Nongnong was stunned for a moment, then suddenly understood. She tapped his little nose and said with a smile, "You're so naughty." After saying that, seeing Gu Linchao walking over, she deliberately said, "You cried because you saw Daddy scolding Mommy, didn't you? You're such a good son, my precious darling. You're so young and you already know how to care for Mommy. Unlike some people, who only know how to question me when they come back, and don't know how hard I work!"
