Chapter 956: Extra Chapter 1: Year Old Anniversary Ritual (1)
Mu Xichen’s idea of getting a vasectomy met with objection from many people.
Just as Li Beinian thought that he would give up, he suddenly said that he was going on a business trip.
If he was going on a business trip, so be it. Li Beinian even had Gu Mingye keep an eye on him because she was afraid that he would take things too hard and secretly go for a vasectomy.
Eventually, a fortnight later, Mu Xichen returned with a vasectomy certificate in his bag.
Li Beinian was so angry that she refused to talk to him for a few days. Finally, the man said, “Don’t worry. Even so, we can reverse it if you wish to have another child in the future,”
Li Beinian snorted.
Mu Xichen softened his tone and put his arms around her from behind. “Most importantly, we don’t have to use a condom after a vasectomy.”
Li Beinian turned around and glared at him. Her eyes were a little bloodshot, but when she saw his rare gentleness, she couldn’t bring herself to say anything harsh. She turned around and hugged him. Finally, the cold war ended with a passionate kiss.
When the babies were one year old, Little Sunshine, little Bamboo, and Little Panda had already grown a few teeth. They would wave their arms about and make little noises at each other as if talking.
The babies would try to out-laugh each other, squealing loudly and shrilly. They were chubby, pale, and tender. It was hard to imagine that these three babies, who looked similar, had been born more than a month premature.
Little Panda was the most mischievous. She wore her hair in two pigtails that stood straight up on her head. One moment, she’d be tugging at her little skirt, the next moment, she’d be grabbing her brothers’ little ears.
Little Bamboo and Little Sunshine would often cry from being tormented by her, while she’d laugh loudly as she sat beside them.
However, when her mother looked at her with an upset expression, she would immediately pout and extend her hands to her father with bloodshot eyes, on the verge of tears.
Mu Xichen liked the way his daughter acted coquettishly. Every time this happened, he would pick her up and pat her back. “You were smiling when you were bullying your brother just then. Don’t you think that’s wrong?”
Little Panda knew what her father meant. She’d stick out her lower lip and cover her upper lip with it, staring at her father with widened eyes and a pitiful expression.
Mu Xichen would tell the girl, “…Alright, no crying.”
Little Panda’s eyes would turn even redder and she would start bawling.
Li Beinian would then hug little Bamboo, whose ears would have turned red. Patting the baby’s butt gently, she’d coax him, “Alright, alright. Don’t cry. Crying after being bullied by your sister is not manly at all. No crying.”
Little Bamboo would continue sobbing.
Little Sunshine would have already stopped and would look unhappily at his little sister in his father’s arms.
With her rosy cheeks and glistening eyes, she would reach out and act coquettishly towards her father.
One time, Old Master Li walked in, leaning on his cane. His voice sounded croakier and weaker than a year ago, but he was still nimble on his feet.
When he saw the child crying, he walked up and picked up Little Sunshine tenderly. “Why is Number one crying?”
Li Beinian felt a headache coming on. “Number Three is being a handful. She’s always bullying the two of them. Little Bamboo’s ears are about to fall off from being yanked by her. Look.”
Sure enough, little Bamboo’s ears were flaming red.
Little Sunshine’s ears were also just as red.
Old Master was a little heartbroken and said, “How can this little girl be so naughty? Let’s separate them a little in the future. Alright, the guests outside have been waiting for a long time. They’re all waiting for the children to come out for the year old anniversary ritual.”
