Chapter 625 - Family Bonds
Cheng Che sat on the couch, drinking tea and playing Go with his grandmother. He was calm and happy.
When Mu Chen came back, he saw his energetic son sitting in Cheng Che’s arms, sucking on his thumb as he watched his uncle and great-grandmother playing Go.
As soon as the baby saw his father, he broke free of Cheng Che’s arms and ran like the wind toward his father. “Dad!”
Mu Chen took two steps forward and caught his son. He chided his son gently, “You can’t run like this next time. It’s very dangerous. What if you fall?”
“It won’t hurt!” the baby said in his childish voice.
Mu Chen could not help but laugh. In fact, he knew it was useless to say those things. The only way was for the baby to learn from the fall. When the baby tried to climb up his arms, he said, “Don’t make a fuss. Otherwise, Mommy will be unhappy when she gets home.”
The baby immediately stopped making a fuss and leaned quietly against Mu Chen’s shoulder. “Mommy won’t be unhappy.”
Mu Chen laughed again. He patted his son’s head and said, “Alright, alright. Mommy won’t be unhappy. However, we must not make Mommy unhappy no matter what, okay? We can’t be unhappy with Mommy either. We’re men. We have to protect Mommy and make Mommy happy, okay?”
The baby extended his chubby hand and made an ‘okay’ gesture immediately. Then, he said seriously, “Okay, Dad!”
Everyone laughed when they saw this.
Cheng Che said to his grandmother, “My brother is sister-in-law’s fan. Now, he has also raised his son to be sister-in-law’s fan.”
Jiang Jin smiled. “In the future, you have to treat Jiahui like this as well. A man who dotes on his wife will not have bad luck.”
Cheng Che smiled shyly as he nodded slightly.
Sister Yu said with a smile, “Don’t worry, Old Madam. Young Master Cheng Che will definitely treat Miss Jiahui well in the future. Our Young Madam is calm and steady while Miss Jiahui is lively and cheerful. The two of them really complement each other.”
Cheng Che said, “Sister Yu, we’re talking about me and Jiahui. Why did you suddenly mention sister-in-law? It’s as though Jiahui and sister-in-law are a couple.”
Sister Yu was briefly stunned before she burst into laughter.
Jiang Jin could not help but laugh as well.
The baby did not understand why everyone was laughing. He scratched his head, thinking hard, before he said, “Since Uncle is marrying a wife, Mu Lang also wants to marry a wife!”
Everyone laughed even louder upon hearing these words.
Song Ning and Jiahui, who had just returned, witnessed this scene of everyone laughing.
Jiahui laughed. She could not help but ask, “What’s so funny?”
Jiang Jin laughed until she was gasping for air. When she finally calmed down, she said to the two women, “Mu Lang said since his uncle is getting married, he wants to get married as well.”
Song Ning and Jiahui laughed as well when they heard this.
Jiahui stepped forward and gently pinched the baby’s cheek as she asked, “Mu Lang, why are you in such a hurry to get married?”
The baby struggled out of Mu Chen’s arms and ran toward Song Ning. He felt more at ease when he was in Song Ning’s arms. He reached up and wrapped his arms around Song Ning’s neck.
Song Ning smiled and asked, ‘Who does Mu Lang want to marry?”
Everyone waited for the baby’s answer.
The baby thought about it seriously before he replied, “Someone like Mommy, Aunty Jiahui, Great-grandma, Grandma Yu, Sister Nuan, and Sister Xiao Yu!”
The baby’s answer and serious expression caused everyone to burst out laughing again.
Song Ning kissed her son on his forehead before she said, “Silly child, you’re too greedy. How could there be such a person?”
Mu Chen took his son into his arms and said, “Why not? My son will definitely find such a perfect partner!”
