Little Buding woke up to find his dad and mom absent from the room. He puckered his lips and started crying in grievance, so Sister Ding brought Buding out to the courtyard.
Little Buding was excited by the sudden appearance of so many uncles and aunties outside. His big, shiny black eyes couldn’t take in enough, staring at everyone, captivating Su ng completely.
She was conflicted! She hoped her baby would be a boy, as the Long Wu family deeply cared about her after Mrs. Long learned she was carrying a boy.
Su ng understood in her heart that this attention wasn’t for her but for the unborn grandson.
But when she saw Buding being so adorable, she thought maybe it would be better if it were a girl—then they could set up an engagent for the two kids!
Xu Er also couldn’t help but adore little Buding.
At the sa ti, he sighed inwardly. Oh no, when he and Bai Shasha got married and had kids, their child would lag behind by more than three years compared to Buding! Why was life’s gap like this so big?
Then he looked again at Bai Shasha, munching away happily. After finishing her at skewer, she moved on to a chicken drumstick. Her greasy little mouth resembled a squirrel eating pine nuts, and he thought maybe waiting a few more years was good after all.
This little girl hadn’t grown up yet herself. Thinking of her bearing and raising children, the image was too ridiculous for him to even contemplate!
Bai Shasha finished saying what she wanted to say, and though she felt a twinge of guilt in her heart, her spirit quickly revived at the sight of delicious grilled at! Catching Xu Er staring at her, she wiped the sweat off her face with her sleeve and giggled with a playful smile.
Li Si and Su ng, watching from the side, couldn’t help feeling bad for Xu Er. Tough luck—it’s not sothing you can bla society for!
Leng Mochen and Long Wu were eating and chatting together, with Long Wu teasing him: "Leng Er! How about we drink a bit more?"
Last night, Long Wu really got drunk thanks to these two troublemakers—he almost couldn’t make it through his front door.
"Better you drink on your own! My stomach can’t handle it!"
Li Si looked at him approvingly and handed him a freshly grilled lamb kidney. Leng Mochen received it with a smile, throwing her a suggestive wink. Was she implying that he should eat this to nourish himself? He got the ssage!
Li Si shot him a sneaky glare. "Be serious!" She regretted not giving him tendons instead—to practice his chewing!
On the side, Long Wu couldn’t bear to watch anymore and loudly urged, "Oh my! Sisi, you two old married folks are still getting all flirty like that? You’re too much! Mmm..." Before Long Wu could finish, Leng Mochen stuffed a chicken drumstick into his mouth.
"Eat up!" Leng Mochen said mischievously while biting into his lamb kidney.
Long Wu’s eyes widened as his cheeks puffed up, looking utterly comical. Even Su ng laughed so hard she was clutching her stomach, "Haha!" The others joined in, laughing heartily.
Seeing all the adults laughing so hard, Buding followed suit with giggling, even though he had no idea why they were laughing.
Bai Shasha found him so adorable that she couldn’t resist planting a big kiss on his forehead, leaving Buding’s little head greasy.
Under Li Si’s disdainful gaze, Bai Shasha bashfully grabbed a wet wipe to clean the child’s forehead. It was just the spur of the mont, right? She hoped it could be forgiven...
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, they went their separate ways. Bai Shasha left with Xu Er, while Long Wu dragged his wife back ho!
Following the al, Leng Mochen’s stomach felt much better—it wasn’t as uncomfortable as it had been earlier that morning.
Thinking of last night, he recalled how, while tipsy, he had thoroughly teased and ssed with Li Si. He had taken great advantage of her.
Li Si had been fussing with Buding’s little clothes when she suddenly felt a burning gaze following her.
"Why are you looking at like that?" His stare was far too obvious!
"Co here, little buddy, keep company for a bit!" Leng Mochen directly pressed her down. It’s the May holiday; where’s his share of relaxation?
"Hmm..."
"Thirteen days left!" Leng Mochen whispered in her ear as things were about to heat up.
With only thirteen days left before the three-month mark, Leng Mochen felt like he was finally seeing light at the end of the tunnel!
"Stop talking! I got it!" Li Si didn’t dodge him this ti. Truthfully, she felt a bit of anticipation. It had been too long since the two of them had been together.
Sotis, prolonged love transforms into a deep reliance akin to familial bonds. Sharing monts together is one way for a married couple to deepen their feelings!
She didn’t oppose this—in fact, she now faintly looked forward to it!
She craved that sense of perfect harmony, yet she refrained for her physical health. So she endured.
Perhaps, after giving birth, her needs in this area had grown!
His occasional provocations sotis heated her up intensely. She’d bury her blushing face into the pillow, feeling that being alone with him often led him to chant this mantra repeatedly.
"Just a reminder!" He deliberately raised his eyebrow after speaking. "I know you want it too! Why else would you give lamb kidney to eat?"
"Oh, stop it already, will you?" She regretted it imnsely. Why had she given him that to eat?
What had she been thinking at the ti?
On the second day of the May holiday, Leng Mochen and Li Si took Buding to visit the Leng Family’s old residence and see Mr. Leng Sr.
Mr. Leng Sr. looked in good spirits, and his smile didn’t leave his face as he played with adorable Buding.
This was his treasured great-grandchild, his pride and joy!
He praised Buding multiple tis in a row.
Mrs. Leng was also elated, feeling that Buding truly brought honor to her.
For so reason, she suddenly thought of John. Back then, she’d assud that boy was her dear grandson and had brought him before Mr. Leng Sr., only to be t with silence.
See, that’s the difference!
The milling crowd shared cheerful conversations, and Mrs. Leng casually asked Mr. Leng Sr. about his plans for this year’s vacation to Beidaihe.
Mr. Leng Sr. planned to head there with a few old friends after Leng Mochen’s wedding and stay for a while.
Mrs. Leng then asked whether he wanted to celebrate his birthday this year.
Mr. Leng Sr.’s expression imdiately turned unpleasant. He recalled last year’s 80th birthday banquet, which had gotten wildly out of hand and turned into a fiasco!
The aftermath was still lingering—have another celebration? He’d rather live a few peaceful years!
Seeing his displeasure, Mrs. Leng realized she had said the wrong thing.
Li Si stepped in to smooth things over, sharing amusing anecdotes about Buding and laughing it off.
...
Leng Ning, holding Jin Yichen’s arm, had just finished watching a newly released romantic movie and was casually wandering around the mall under the cinema.
As they strolled, they unexpectedly ran into Mrs. Leng!
Leng Ning blushed and quickly let go of Jin Yichen’s arm, sheepishly calling out, "Mom!"
Earlier at ho, her mom had told her to go shopping together, but she had used the excuse of a classmate gathering to decline.
Now she had really been caught red-handed!
Moreover, she hadn’t even had the chance to tell her mom about him yet, but here they were, running into each other.
Jin Yichen promptly smiled warmly and said, "Hello, Auntie!"
Mrs. Leng gave Jin Yichen an appraising glance, asking Leng Ning, "Xiao Ning! Aren’t you going to introduce us? Is this the classmate you ntioned?"
Mrs. Leng examined the young man standing before her—roughly 27 or 28 years old, dignified and handso, with a gaze that was clear and sincere. He carried himself with the aura of soone from a well-off background.
It seed that Leng Ning had made a good choice this ti!
"This is Jin Yichen! My boyfriend!" Leng Ning introduced shyly, "Yichen, this is my mom!"
She hoped that her mom would like him. He was nothing like Lei Ming! Ever since being with him, Leng Ning had felt truly pampered, loved, and cared for! (To be continued.
