“Her father, of course.”

She is Huasplaining to me about what leaves and flowers I should use for Baba’s tea.

“Let’s adopt a son,” he spoke suddenly. “When A-Xue is a little older and more independent.”

Gifts for Mingjue so she’ll keep the babies overnight.

“It’s fine,” he coughs and looks away to hide his embarrassment as he mumbles, “I didn’t want to escape.”

“Waiting for you to finish making dinner for Huahua and her friends. Remember, you and I were going to…” he started to furiously blush.

ok,” Chu Wanning said to her. He undid the baby carrier and gave the smaller girl to her elder sister. “Take A-Xue home and tell your Diedie that I have to talk to this crazy person.” As he said the last few words, he returned his attention to Xiao Lin.

“Did you fall and hit your head?” His eyes narrowed at what he now thinks to be a person with a head injury. Before he could say more, a small girl ran up and drew her tiny sword, pointing it at Xiao Lin.

The small girl yelled at Xiao Lin to get away from her Baba and Meimei.

“Huahua, it’s+

Parenthood is difficult. Poor Chu Wanning is waiting like this for Mo Ran because Huahua suddenly came back and asked her father to make a hot pot pot for her and her friends. Wanning said it was fine, and he could wait…

This made Wanning lose his patience, and so he became the one to narrow his eyes next.

“You’re obviously a crazy person that I don’t have time for. Get lost!”

“Ye Xiwu?” He looked entirely confused, and so did the fish merchant. That person had sold a fish to Chu Wanning at least every other day, so now he was wondering if the man had an alternate identity and was just watching instead of helping.

In the meanwhile, the baby stirred and started to cry+

“It was my own too busy mind that started to worry about nothing. I worried you would be disappointed that I hadn’t given you a son, but if you’re truly happy, we could have all daughters. And if they’d like a brother, we could always adopt one.”

He shook his head, wanting to be clear about this one thing, “If it turns out that we can only have daughters, I will be happy. Huahua and A-Xue are the greatest things that you have given me, so I’ll even be happy if we only have the two of them.”

He starts to gently smooth out Mo Ran’s robes+

I’ll need to go shopping.

But then how will you fill me to the brim? The physics of this seems impossible, even for you…

[Tries to hide his teasing smile]

He also fell silent, but after a short while, he spoke up, “Two years. When Qingxue is two, then we should try again.”

“A son?” He studied his face. “Every man wants one, doesn’t he?”

How do you plan to… do what you said without me becoming pregnant?

A third baby so soon?

Chu Wanning was surprised to find himself being suddenly turned around. Instinct cause him to reach behind to be sure that the baby was secure. Then he studied the face of this handsome young man.

“Tantai Jin? You’re mistaken. My name is Chu Wanning.”

“She wants to steal my cakes and your sword,” he smiled. Then he turned to him. “Two daughters. Are you happy with them?”

He wasn’t saying it aloud, but he wondered if Mo Ran longed for a son.

Chu Wanning had gone out to market they day with the intention of buying groceries for dinner. While he looked at the fish on offer, a baby with fat legs slept in a binding carrier on his back.The name Tantai Jin was unfamiliar, and so he continued contemplating fish as if he hadn’t heard a word.

She really loves Buigui. I don’t think it will distract her.

// Xiao Lin running into Chu Wanning and thinking it’s Tantai Jin 😂

Now I baby our children too much. People believe that because I birthed them, they will be like deities, but no matter how big our daughters get, I can only see my little babies.”

“Perhaps I am too overprotective,” he sighs a little. “Huahua has always like swords, hasn’t she? She wants to use Bugui even though it’s still two times as tall as her.”

He sighs again, “I was too harsh on you when I was your Shizun because I was afraid that others would see my feelings for you+

“Mingjue,” he looks quite happy. “You’re back. I’ll make tea.”

Harvesting some herbs and vegetables from the garden while Huahua “supervises”.
