Chapter 823: 824, Han Zixiu is infuriated (second update)

Han Zixiu looked at Mo Zhixuan, smiling as he spoke, "Whipped."

"I have a daughter, do you?" Mo Zhixuan responded coolly.

Han Zixiu still smiling, said, "Men who are afraid of their wives are not real men!"

Mo Zhixuan smiled as well, "I have a son, do you?"

Han Zixiu: "Mo Zhixuan, you really disgrace our gender."

Mo Zhixuan: "Can you have twins?"

Han Zixiu: "Whipped."

Mo Zhixuan: "I have a daughter, do you?"

Han Zixiu: "You’re a whipped husband!"

Mo Zhixuan: "I have a son, do you?"

Han Zixiu: "Mo Zhixuan, shame on you!"

Mo Zhixuan, smiling, said: "I have both a son and a daughter."

Han Zixiu: "..." He wanted a son and a daughter too!

Upstairs.

Mo Zhixuan quickly came up.

Chu Jin was soothing the baby, while Bei Bei was asleep; the baby was crying loudly, but it didn’t wake Bei Bei.

"Jin, hand the baby over to me," Mo Zhixuan walked over to Chu Jin and reached out his hand.

"Be careful." Chu Jin carefully handed the baby to Mo Zhixuan.

Mo Zhixuan took the baby and gently patted him a couple of times; the once crying baby instantly stopped.

This amazed Mo Qingyi and Ding Siyu.

No one would have guessed that such a seemingly aloof person would be so adept at child-rearing, even more skilled than a woman.

The baby looked at Mo Zhixuan as if recognizing him as his father, stretching out a little hand to Mo Zhixuan’s mouth.

Mo Zhixuan tenderly kissed his little hand.

This scene melted the hearts of Mo Qingyi and Ding Siyu.

It was just too adorable.

Then, Mo Zhixuan skillfully started changing the baby’s diaper.

During this, the baby didn’t even whimper, cooperating with Mo Zhixuan’s actions.

Mo Qingyi looked at Mo Zhixuan in disbelief, "Brother, you can actually change diapers?" She remembered that just a few days ago at the hospital, Mo Zhixuan’s actions when holding the baby were very stiff; she didn’t expect that in such a short time, Mo Zhixuan would change so much.

Mo Zhixuan nodded, "Yes, I’ve recently learned. Jin has had a hard enough time giving birth, so naturally, I should take on these small tasks." Mo Zhixuan had the air of a thoroughly whipped husband, a stark contrast to the attitude he had downstairs just moments ago.

Chu Jin, laughing on the side, said, "Your brother is amazing now; not only can he change diapers, he can even wash them." Chu Jin hadn’t expected Mo Zhixuan to turn into a super dad.

Before the child was born, Chu Jin had even been worried about whether someone like Mo Zhixuan would like children.

Now, it turned out to be an unwarranted worry.

Ding Siyu smiled and said, "Zhixuan, it’s surprising. You’re so domestic, Jin is really lucky."

Men like Mo Zhixuan were indeed rare in this world.

Who would believe that someone who sat at the pinnacle of power would go to such lengths for his wife and child!

Mo Zhixuan humbly replied, "Sister, you jest. This is what a husband and father should do, I believe that when sister you have children in the future, your husband won’t do worse than me."

Changing and washing diapers was a joy that Han Zixiu must also be included in.

It would prevent him from using diaper jokes against him in the future.

Mo Zhixuan’s cunning wasn’t developed in just a day or two.

Ding Siyu smiled slightly, "I’m afraid I can’t count on Han Zixiu for that."

Mo Zhixuan tactfully did not delve deeper and, after changing the baby’s diaper, went to the washroom to wash it.

It was Mo Qingyi who spoke with a light smile, "Sister Siyu, you can’t talk like that about men. They need to be trained; without training, they can’t be put in good shape, and a woman must firmly grasp the authority in the house."

Ding Siyu turned her eyes towards Mo Qingyi, teasingly said, "It seems like you must have trained Duanmu Zhe very well?"

Mo Qingyi lifted her head with an air of proud coquettishness, "That’s right, not to brag, but when I say one, Duanmu Zhe wouldn’t dare say two. If I tell him to go east, he wouldn’t dare to go west."

Chu Jin immediately gave Mo Qingyi a thumbs up, with a light tone, "Qingyi, you’re really amazing."

Mo Qingyi laughed, "Jin, you don’t have to be modest, you’re not too shabby either. Look, you’ve even started washing diapers."

Ding Siyu immediately chimed in, "Exactly, Jin, you’re also awesome." For a man to do what Mo Zhixuan had done was really remarkable.

Chu Jin’s eyes were smiling, "He did all these things on his own."

Mo Zhixuan was always someone who knew the cold and the warmth of others.

Chu Jin felt very fortunate to have met him in this life.

Ding Siyu continued, "Jin, you guys must be too busy with these two kids, right? Why not hire a maternity matron to help? You’re still in your confinement, it’s not good to overexert yourself."

Chu Jin looked up at Ding Siyu and explained, "We hired two maternity matrons before, but after two days, I sent them back. I’m used to being alone, and suddenly having two strangers moving around in the room felt uncomfortable. Moreover, I found that the more the kids were in contact with the matrons, the less close they became with me."

Little children are like that, they become attached to someone once they have interacted with them for a long time.

Seeing his own little treasures getting close and intimate with someone else, Chu Jin felt somewhat uncomfortable.

Mo Zhixuan felt the same way.

That’s why Chu Jin decided to take care of the children himself.

Looking after one’s own children was the responsibility of every mother in the world.

Ding Siyu then asked, "Can you handle the two babies by yourself now?"

Chu Jin glanced at the babies, Bao Bao and Bei Bei, who were sound asleep, and smiled, "Actually, they’re quite well-behaved during the day. It’s just at night they’re a bit noisy. Grandma and Granny are here, and if things get too difficult, they would also come over to help."

Zhao Yan and Madam Mo loved children very much. If it weren’t for the fact that these two children were not out of their first month, they would have taken them out to play long ago.

"That’s good." Ding Siyu smiled and came over, "Let me take a look at the two little treasures."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei were awake at this time.

They were cooing and babbling, who knows what they were saying.

**

Lin family.

Lin Xiyuan had been recovering well the past few days.

In just a short time, she had already regained her radiant complexion.

Right now, Lin Xiyuan was sitting at her desk, sketching the portrait of a man.

The portrait only had one eye and half of a nose completed, so it was not possible to tell who it was.

However, the eye was exceptionally profound, one could tell at a glance that he was of a military background.

Who exactly he was, probably only Lin Xiyuan knew best.

"Xiyuan, time to get up for breakfast." The sound of knocking came from outside the door.

Lin Xiyuan quickly pressed the unfinished portrait under a thick book, "I know, Mom, coming down right now."

With that said, Lin Xiyuan tidied herself up in the mirror before opening the door and heading to the dining room.

In the dining room, Grandfather Lin, Lin Hong, and Lin Lan were already seated at the table.

"Xiyuan is up! Come over and sit next to Grandfather." Grandfather Lin had been a soldier all his life, and had always been a stern leader to everyone, except when it came to his precious granddaughter, he was like a different person.

"Grandfather, Dad, Mom, good morning." Lin Xiyuan greeted politely.

Being born into such a family, Lin Xiyuan was sure to be well-mannered.

Lin Hong and Lin Lan smiled and spoke, "Xiyuan, sit down and eat."

Lin Xiyuan nodded, pulled out a chair, and sat down next to Grandfather Lin.

The family of four looked harmonious and joyful.

Midway through the meal, Lin Xiyuan looked at Lin Hong and asked, "Dad, about that matter I asked you to do last time, how is it coming along? When can I report to the army?"

Lin Hong took a sip of milk, "Xiyuan, there’s no need to rush. Your health has just started to improve, and you need more rest. I have already submitted the documents, and as soon as there’s any news, I’ll tell you right away."

Grandfather Lin also added, "Xiyuan, your dad’s right, there’s no rush with this matter. The most important thing right now is your health; good health is the capital of the revolution."

Lin Xiyuan obediently nodded, "Yes, Grandfather, I understand."

After dinner, Lin Xiyuan went out of the door alone.

The weather was still a bit chilly in March.

Lin Xiyuan was dressed in light clothes, so Lin Lan hurriedly took a coat and chased after her, draping it over Lin Xiyuan’s shoulders, "Yuan Yuan, it’s cold outside, how come you don’t know to wear more clothes? Be careful not to catch a cold."

Lin Xiyuan gathered the front of the coat, "Thank you, Mom. Actually, I wasn’t feeling cold when I first came out, but after you put the coat on me, now I feel a bit cold."

"Silly child." Lin Lan rubbed Lin Xiyuan’s head.

But Lin Xiyuan suddenly hugged Lin Lan’s arm and rested her head on Lin Lan’s shoulder, smiling and saying, "Mom, you are so kind." A soft warm light reflected in Lin Xiyuan’s eyes.

She was truly doing well now, having parents who loved her and a kind grandfather.

She had never felt that life could be as complete as it was at this moment.

Lin Lan was taken aback, recalling it had been a long time since her daughter had embraced her like this.

Ever since her daughter had come of age, their mother-daughter relationship hadn’t been this close.

She hadn’t expected that her daughter’s injury this time would bring such a big surprise to her.

Looking at her daughter like this, Lin Lan’s lips curved into a contented smile.

It turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

The mother and daughter held each other tightly, saying nothing for a long while until Lin Xiyuan let go of Lin Lan and smiled, "Mom, I want to walk around. Would you be interested in joining me?"

"Sure," Lin Lan nodded, "Mom hasn’t relaxed like this for a long time."

"Let’s go." Lin Xiyuan reached out her hand to Lin Lan.

"Let’s go." Lin Lan took Lin Xiyuan’s hand.

A smile appeared on both their faces.

It was early morning, and there were plenty of people out for a walk or enjoying the sunshine. They all lived in the same military compound, so when they met each other, they would exchange a few friendly words.

A young couple jogged past Lin Xiyuan and Lin Lan.

They were chatting while jogging, so they didn’t notice Lin Xiyuan and Lin Lan.

But Lin Lan was surprised and said, "Little Zhe, Qingyi, you’re also out jogging."

"Auntie Lin, Xiyuan." Duanmu Zhe pulled Mo Qingyi to a stop.

Mo Qingyi also greeted them politely, "Auntie Lin, Xiyuan, good morning."

"Good morning." Lin Lan turned to look at Lin Xiyuan beside her, "Xiyuan, say hello."

"Huh?" Lin Xiyuan seemed unsure how to start and asked quietly, "Mom, how should I address them?"

This was only the second time Lin Xiyuan had met Duanmu Zhe and Mo Qingyi. Previously, she had not had any contact with them.

Calling them by their names directly seemed somewhat impolite.

Lin Lan said with a smile, "Little Zhe is three years older than you; you can just call him ’brother’."

Lin Xiyuan quickly reacted and said to Duanmu Zhe and Mo Qingyi, "Hello, brother, sister-in-law," and reached out her hand to Mo Qingyi proactively.

Mo Qingyi had a favorable impression of this girl next door, so she took Lin Xiyuan’s hand and said, "Hello."

The two young women exchanged smiles.

It seemed they both had a good impression of each other.

Lin Lan then asked, "Little Zhe, is your marriage leave with Qingyi almost over?"

"Yeah, just a few days left," Duanmu Zhe answered casually.

After a brief chat, Duanmu Zhe left with Mo Qingyi.

Watching the two of them walk away, Lin Xiyuan said, "Mom, Brother Duanmu and Miss Mo seem very affectionate."

"Yes," Lin Lan nodded, "They grew up together since they were little, childhood sweethearts, deeply devoted to each other. It’s normal for them to be affectionate."

"Childhood sweethearts?" Lin Xiyuan looked surprised, "You mean, they’ve known each other since they were kids?"

"Yes." Lin Lan nodded again, "After the Mo family’s incident, the Duanmu family accompanied them to the secular world. Although Miss Mo’s last name is Mo, she isn’t the biological child of Madam Mo. It’s said she was an abandoned baby from the Superpower World, but apart from the Mo family’s own clan, no one else knows about this."

Lin Lan had learned of this by chance.

If it weren’t for gossip, who would believe that Mo Qingyi was just an ordinary person?

For ordinary people to cultivate a mutant bone, it’s no easy feat, Mo Qingyi is destined to be extraordinary.

Lin Xiyuan is not an outsider, so Lin Lan spoke of it without intending to.

A flicker of light crossed Lin Xiyuan’s eyes, "An abandoned baby? But seeing her imbued with Spiritual Power, she doesn’t seem like an ordinary person."

Lin Lan smiled, "She is now Nine Ye’s sister, how could she be considered ordinary?"

Lin Xiyuan nodded, "That makes sense, Miss Mo must have had a hard time, being Nine Ye’s sister but being an ordinary person herself, she must have borne a lot of hardship, and it’s really not easy for her to get to where she is today. She truly is admirable."

When Mo Qingyi was mentioned, a look of admiration appeared in Lin Xiyuan’s eyes.

"Yes," Lin Lan nodded, "It indeed wasn’t easy for Miss Mo to get to where she is today."

"By the way, Mom," Lin Xiyuan continued, "Are you and Dad in the same military district as Brother Duanmu and Miss Mo?"

Lin Lan nodded, "Yes, we are."

"Then we really are quite fated with them," Lin Xiyuan went on, "Not only do we live in the same compound, but we’re also in the same military district."

Lin Xiyuan looked into the distance.

But her gaze found that Duanmu Zhe and Mo Qingyi were no longer in sight.

Lin Lan, meanwhile, continued walking around with Lin Xiyuan.

In the next few days, Lin Xiyuan would go for walks with Lin Lan.

Sometimes it was in the evening, sometimes in the morning.

During this period, they almost ran into Mo Qingyi and Duanmu Zhe every morning during their walks.

But in the evenings, they were nowhere to be seen.

On another sunny morning, Lin Xiyuan watched the couple walking hand in hand in the distance and said to Lin Lan, "Mom, Brother Duanmu and Miss Mo really have a good relationship, just like conjoined twins, we can see them almost every morning."

Lin Lan looked in the direction Lin Xiyuan was gazing and said with a laugh, "This young couple has just gotten married, it’s the time when they’re most sweet on each other. It was the same with your dad and me when we first got married. Maybe it won’t be as good after a while."

Lin Xiyuan retracted her gaze and said with a coy smile, "That’s not necessarily true, I think their relationship is genuinely good. But it really is strange, we never see them when we come out in the evening."

"Maybe they have healthier living habits." There are only so many things a young couple can be up to, but Lin Xiyuan hasn’t even found a boyfriend yet, so Lin Lan avoided being too blunt.

In the blink of an eye, another half a month passed.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei are already a full month old!

Thirty days have gone by, and the changes in Bao Bao and Bei Bei are not little.

At this time, the two little ones were no longer that frail tender appearance.

The two little ones grew directly from five jin to eleven jin.

Their little appearances were almost changing every day.

In the evening, Mo Zhixuan was propping his head with one hand, staring unblinkingly at Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

His eyes and brows were tender.

Suddenly, Mo Zhixuan turned excitedly and said with emotion, "Jin, look! Bei Bei can smile! She’s smiling!" His voice was full of the joy of a first-time father.

Next to him, Bao Bao: "..." Dad, are you really okay with ignoring me like this? I’m smiling too!

Chu Jin looked at the two little treasures and said tenderly, "Actually, they can’t really smile yet, this is smiling in their sleep. It’s an unconscious behavior."

Mo Zhixuan gently held Bao Bao’s little hand and kissed it on the lips.

After kissing, Mo Zhixuan quickly put him down with a bit of annoyance, "I kissed the wrong one! Jin, don’t dress this naughty boy in girl’s clothes anymore, a true man should have the spirit of a man."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei looked very much alike, not only did their features resemble, but their weights were also the same.

That’s what often led Mo Zhixuan to mistake one for the other.

Bao Bao: "..." No doubt, he’s my real dad.

"What difference does it make with such small children!" Chu Jin tapped Mo Zhixuan’s head, "Besides, twins should wear the same clothes."

Bao Bao: "..." Who said small children don’t distinguish between sexes?

Although Mo Zhixuan complained about Bao Bao, he still tenderly tapped Bao Bao’s nose, then took Bei Bei’s hand and gently kissed it.

Kissing Bao Bao and then Bei Bei every night had become Mo Zhixuan’s routine.

After kissing, Mo Zhixuan sat up, turned his eyes to Chu Jin, and continued, "Jin, what were you just doing?"
