Chapter 454: Atmosphere
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When Mu Qing arrived at the Mu family house, the atmosphere was peaceful and happy. He could not help but feel slightly startled.
Mu Chen was carrying the baby in his arms as he walked according to where the baby was pointing.
The ten-month-old baby was very lively. When he grew excited, he babbled loudly, laughed, and writhed in Mu Chen’s arms.
Upon seeing this, the adults all laughed.
To Mu Qing, the last time the atmosphere was so peaceful and happy was 30 years ago when Mu Chen was still in his arms.
Cheng Che waved his hand, trying to catch the baby’s attention as he said, “Grandma, my brother used to be obsessed with having a daughter. I thought after he had a son, he would push his son to me. However, look at how Brother treats him so preciously.”
Jiang Jin laughed loudly. “Do you think the baby is a toy that you can push aside just because you don’t like it? It’s only natural he loves the baby since the baby is his biological son.”
Mu Chen scoffed. “That’s right! Are you jealous? Get a baby of your own then.”
Sister Yu laughed. “Young Master Cheng should hurry up. Otherwise, the age gap between the Little Masters will be too big, and they won’t be able to play together.”
Cheng Che scratched his head and said, “Sister Yu, I want a daughter too. I don’t want a son.”
Sister Yu patted Cheng Che’s back and said, “Don’t talk nonsense. If you really have a son, are you going to give him away?”
Cheng Che’s expression was one of regret. It was as though he already had a son.
Mu Chen kicked Cheng Che’s leg lightly. “Get it straight. Before having a baby, you have to get married first. Where’s your wife?”
The baby looked as though he understood Mu Chen’s words. He looked at Cheng Che and babbled again.
Mu Chen lowered his head to look at the baby as he said, “Look, even my son is smarter than you. He knows that you’ll have to have a wife first before you can even have a baby. Isn’t that right, son? You’re really smart. Much smarter than Uncle Cheng Che.”
Everyone laughed.
Cheng Che pretended to be angry and smacked the baby’s bottom lightly.
The baby, seemingly amused, giggled. He hugged Mu Chen’s neck, squirming in Mu Chen’s arms.
Jiang Jin coughed lightly before she said, “That’s right. Cheng Chen, Jiahui will return in two months, right? I’ll give you six months to marry her so I can have a second granddaughter-in-law.”
Cheng Che felt a little embarrassed. However, he still said, “Then, you’ll have to help me, Grandma. I’m not as skilled as my brother when it comes to winning women’s hearts. Moreover, Jiahui isn’t as calm as sister-in-law. You helped Brother so much so you must help me as well!”
Cheng Che had been with Jiang Jin for a long time, and he knew how to cooperate with Mu Chen to make her happy.
Jiang Jin, who always had a soft spot for Cheng Che, said, “Of course. When Jiahui returns, I’ll help you with your proposal. You can ask for your sister-in-law’s help as well. We’ll help you marry her.”
Meanwhile, Mu Qing felt relieved when he heard their conversation. Based on their words, it seemed like they did not suspect anything was wrong with Ye Xin and that they still liked her very much. With this, another idea formed in his mind again. Then, he coughed lightly, drawing everyone’s attention to him.
Ye Xin stood behind Mu Qing, supported by two helpers. She was drunk.
The smiles on everyone’s faces vanished completely as soon as they saw Mu Qing and Ye Xin.
Mu Qing took the initiative to say, “Mother, the Young Madam was drinking at my friend’s bar. She was so drunk that they almost had to call the police since they don’t know where she lives. I happened to be there so I brought her back. She was laughing and crying in the car, and she kept apologizing to you. What happened? Why did a cheerful child like her go drinking to drown her sorrows? It’s too dangerous.”
Then, Mu Qing looked at the helpers behind him and said, “Help the Young Madam back to her room to rest.”
