Help! I'm in Another World and the Dragon Man Want Me To Get Pregnant! Chapter 96: Side Story: Working at the Inn (Part 1)

Three months after he giving birth to Nyx, Shen Xinghui found himself back at the familiar house in the royal capital.

"Jenna! Henry!"

With the children in tow, Shen Xinghui was rushed back to his ho.

The couple, who had been inford in advance, had closed their shop for the day and were ready to warmly welco them.

"Xinghui!"

Shen Xinghui embraced Jenna, his face beaming with a wide smile.

After all, Jenna was like his mother in this world.

"I’m ho."

"Welco back," Jenna said while gently patting his hair.

It felt a little bit ticklish, but he was incredibly happy.

Henry appeared from behind Jenna slowly and embraced Shen Xinghui in the sa manner.

Henry smiled kindly while patting his head gently.

"Hello, Grandma, Grandpa."

"We’re here!"

"We’ve co!"

While Kaelion, who had followed Shen Xinghui, greeted them calmly, their younger son, Vaelrik, was still as mischievous as ever.

Their eldest daughter, Seraphina, was just as lively and full of energy.

"Oh my, welco everyone," Jenna greeted them.

"Let’s first sit down and have so tea," Henry added.

As Jenna and Henry hugged each of their children with joy, Shen Xinghui couldn’t help but feel grateful.

They had co to the royal capital today to talk about Ignatius.

There was a eting he had to attend, but he also wanted to show Nyx to the couple.

"Is that the new baby?"

Henry was the first one to spot Nyx sleeping in the baby carrier Kaelion was holding.

He called out to them, and Shen Xinghui took Nyx from Kaelion to show her to them.

Jenna’s eyes squinted in joy, and she even had tears welling up.

Henry smiled with the sa warmth.

"She’s so cute. She looks like Xinghui."

"Really?"

"Yes, her eyes are so endearing, just like yours. She’ll surely grow up to be a beautiful princess."

Shen Xinghui felt a little bit embarrassed when he was told that.

In fact, he still didn’t accept the idea of being called cute.

Sure, he might be small compared to other people in this world, especially among the Dragon Man, but he didn’t think that was enough to make him cute.

But even if he argued back, the response would always be the sa, so he decided it was better to leave it alone.

"How about ?"

"Huh?"

"Am I beautiful like mother?"

His five-year-old daughter, Seraphina, was looking up at him with that question.

Damn, even though she was his daughter, she was so cute.

Everyone said she looked like him, but in his eyes, she didn’t.

At only five years old, she looked like an angel on the outside, yet her behavior was that of a little temptress.

"Our Seraphina is very beautiful."

"Really?"

"Of course."

When he lifted her up, she hugged his neck tightly.

He thought the saying "you can’t love them more than your own eyes" was probably painful, but Seraphina was so adorable that he could say he would try to put her in his eyes, at least.

For now, though, they were sitting calmly in the dining room, enjoying tea.

Nyx was fast asleep in Shen Xinghui’s arms.

"So, how long are you staying in the capital?"

"Two to three days."

"Well, take your ti."

"Are you going back to His Majesty the King and Her Majesty the Queen?"

"No, if it’s not too much trouble, I’d prefer to stay here."

Shen Xinghui had already gotten approval from the King and Queen for this.

They had sent him off with warm wishes, so he felt free to stay here without hesitation.

Henry and Jenna seed genuinely happy, though Henry appeared a bit apologetic.

"Doesn’t His Majesty and Her Majesty want to see their grandchildren?"

"They co by sotis and play with the children."

Her Majesty visited frequently for tea, and His Majesty also ca about once a month, though it was always a busy ti for them.

Whenever Shen Xinghui apologized for this, they would simply say, "We co because we want to, so don’t worry about it."

"I still feel a bit guilty about it."

"That’s not true at all."

When Henry looked apologetic, Shen Xinghui felt a little guilty himself.

In truth, he should be coming back more often, but he was well aware of the long journey ahead.

Even by carriage, it would take several days, and he couldn’t bring Seraphina and Nyx along.

The farthest he could bring them would be to Vaelrik.

"By the way, what will happen to the store?"

"We can’t open with Xinghui here."

That made Shen Xinghui feel a bit guilty too.

There were regulars who looked forward to the store.

Then, suddenly, he had an idea and suggested it to the two of them.

"Well, if you both don’t mind, could I help with the store?"

"Help? With Xinghui?"

"Not just , but Kaelion, Vaelrik, and if possible, Seraphina too."

His suggestion surprised even the children, who had been quietly eating sweets.

Kaelion, who was always the more sensible one, looked a bit troubled.

"Mother, I think it would be troubleso for Grandpa and Grandma. I’m fine, but Vaelrik is restless, and Seraphina is still so young."

"Ah, yeah, you’re right..."

His son Kaelion, at thirteen years old, was already making such a sensible argunt.

Shen Xinghui felt like he was about to be out-argued.

But Shen Xinghui wanted them to experience the importance and difficulty of work.

Everyone had only seen royal duties, like those of Ignatius, so he wanted to show them that there were other kinds of work too.

This thought crossed his mind.

"I don’t mind," Henry said with a gentle smile, looking at both Shen Xinghui and Kaelion.

"Kaelion, you are the eldest son and will beco the future crown prince. Therefore, opportunities to see the lives of common people will likely beco fewer and fewer from now on. However, we common folk love a king who stays close to us. That’s why His Highness Ignatius is so popular with everyone," Henry added.
