Chapter 845: 847, now I can protect my sister too! (Second update)

"Alright," Mo Zhixuan nodded, "since our Bao Bao is now a man, then daddy approves your move away. Bao Bao, from now on you’re the little man of our family, and mom, dad, and your little sister all rely on you."

"Daddy, rest assured, I won’t let you down." Bao Bao asserted very seriously as he patted his chest.

Bei Bei also patted her chest, guaranteeing with conviction, "Daddy, the storybooks say that girls should be strong too. I won’t let you and mommy down either."

Mo Zhixuan nodded with deep emotion, "That’s good. You both should go to sleep now, it’s getting late. If you get scared in the middle of the night, just come back to mom and dad’s room; we won’t lock the door."

"Goodnight Daddy, goodnight Mommy." The two little ones, being very considerate, each gave Mo Zhixuan and Chu Jin a kiss before Bao Bao led Bei Bei out of the bedroom.

Watching the siblings’ retreating figures, Mo Zhixuan’s lips curled into a faint smile.

After Bao Bao and Bei Bei left, Chu Jin turned to Mo Zhixuan and gave him a thumbs-up, saying with a smile, "Mo Zhixuan, you really nailed it."

It must have been quite the challenge for Mr. Mo to come up with such a method.

"Am I great or what?" Mo Zhixuan asked Chu Jin, raising his eyebrows slightly.

Chu Jin nodded, mimicking the way Bao Bao and Bei Bei spoke, "Daddy is very great indeed."

"Since I’m so great, shouldn’t you reward me with something?"

.....

Just then, a knock came from the door, "Daddy, Mommy, we’re coming in." Chu Jin had taught the two little ones well, so they always knocked on the door before entering.

Hearing this, Chu Jin quickly pushed Mo Zhixuan away and straightened her clothes, maintaining a facade as if nothing had happened while looking towards the door, although her cheeks were slightly flushed.

She felt relieved inside, grateful that she had taught Bao Bao and Bei Bei to knock on the door beforehand; otherwise, if they had caught her and Mo Zhixuan, how would she explain it to them?

That was too close for comfort.

Mo Zhixuan was on the verge of tears.

Could these two little ancestors have changed their minds?

Well, there went his long spiel of little stories.

"Daddy, Mommy, what were you doing just now? Why did it take so long to open the door?" Bao Bao asked innocently, looking at Mo Zhixuan.

"Daddy, was Mommy eating candy secretly behind our backs?" Bei Bei’s little hand was on her hip as she posed like a detective.

Mo Zhixuan kept a straight face as he bent down slightly, putting his hands on Bao Bao and Bei Bei’s shoulders, and said earnestly, "Your mom isn’t that kind of person. How could she secretly eat candy behind your backs? I was just teaching her to recognize characters!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Jin immediately glared at Mo Zhixuan!

This man really says whatever comes to his mind! What nonsense is he telling the children!

But Mo Zhixuan ignored Chu Jin’s look.

Bei Bei, looking puzzled, asked, "Daddy, doesn’t Mommy know how to read?"

Mo Zhixuan shook his head, "She does, but she hasn’t read for a long time and has forgotten, so she needs Daddy to teach her again."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei nodded as if they understood.

Bao Bao turned to Chu Jin, sighed, and with a hint of helplessness in his shake of the head, said, "Mommy is really silly, needing Daddy to teach her how to read!"

Chu Jin was at a loss for words.

Bao Bao put his hands on his hips and, like a little adult, said to Mo Zhixuan, "Daddy, a man should have the mettle of a man! We should be considerate towards girls and not descend to the same level as them; it’s wrong to scold them! You should apologize to Mommy right away! And don’t bully Mommy anymore! Otherwise, I won’t let you off the hook!"

"And me! I won’t let you off either! You’re not allowed to bully Mommy!" Bei Bei stood in front of Mo Zhixuan with her hands on her hips and a scowl, staring him down.

These actions of the two little ones warmed Chu Jin’s heart.

This feeling of being protected by her children was extremely special, carrying the satisfaction of ’my children are growing up.’

Seeing how the children were acting, Mo Zhixuan changed his expression and then said, "But what if it’s your Mommy who wants to bully me?"

Bei Bei lifted her chin and said in a babyish voice, "Mommy is so gentle, she definitely wouldn’t bully you." In Bei Bei’s eyes, Mommy was the gentlest and prettiest in the world.

Bao Bao, standing on tiptoes, gave Mo Zhixuan’s shoulder a gentlemanly pat, "Daddy, Mommy and sister often bully me too, but as men, we shouldn’t stoop to their level as little girls."

Mo Zhixuan could not help but chuckle, pinched Bao Bao’s cheek, and said with a smile, "You are truly a good son to Daddy."

Bao Bao imitated Mo Zhixuan and pinched Mo Zhixuan’s cheek, looking satisfied, "You are my good daddy, too."

Mo Zhixuan: "..." Suddenly, he had the illusion that Bao Bao was about to take to the skies.

"Right, what brings you two over? Are you scared to sleep in the next room?" Chu Jin continued to ask.

Bei Bei puffed out her chest and spoke crisply, "Not at all. We came over to get Dong Dong and Xi Xi."

Dong Dong and Xi Xi were the toy bears of Bao Bao and Bei Bei. Every night, Bao Bao and Bei Bei couldn’t fall asleep without holding Dong Dong and Xi Xi.

Hearing this, Mo Zhixuan immediately handed the two toy bears on the bed to Bao Bao and Bei Bei, "Here are Dong Dong and Xi Xi for you. Now go on, goodnight." He was just relieved they were not there to disrupt his and Chu Jin’s alone time.

Holding the toy bears, Bao Bao and Bei Bei walked out, but before leaving, they didn’t forget to warn Mo Zhixuan not to bully Chu Jin.

The moment Bao Bao and Bei Bei stepped out of the door, Mo Zhixuan quickly flashed over, locked the door from the inside, for fear the two little ones would barge in again.

He truly feared them.

Such a real daddy!

What happened to not locking the door?

Chu Jin looked at Mo Zhixuan and slightly raised an eyebrow.

Before Chu Jin could react, Mo Zhixuan walked over quickly, lifting Chu Jin onto his shoulder in one go.

This sudden motion made Chu Jin exclaim, "Mo Zhixuan, what are you doing!"

"I’m teaching you to read," said Mo Zhixuan in a deep tone.

"Shameless!" Chu Jin began slapping Mo Zhixuan’s back, "Put me down at once."

...

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei were now four years old.

The two children grew increasingly more like Chu Jin, especially around the eyes and eyebrows.

Bao Bao was exceptionally talented; at three years old, he began to learn special ability techniques and Spiritual Power from Mo Zhixuan, and by the age of four, his special ability had already reached Level Three.

Bei Bei didn’t have a mutant bone, so she couldn’t learn special abilities.

Although Bei Bei couldn’t learn special abilities, starting from the age of three, Chu Jin began to teach Bei Bei ancient martial arts.

While Bei Bei was less talented, she was intelligent and eager to learn. Initially, it was very challenging for her, but it became smoother over time, and now she could defend herself.

As the little ones grew older, their affection for each other deepened. Yet, they still had their little squabbles, just like any other siblings.

"Mommy, Bei Bei took my candy!" Bao Bao cried loudly, hugging Chu Jin’s leg.

"I didn’t; this is my own candy! Brother, shame on you..." Bei Bei performed a "shame on you" gesture.

"Mommy, I want candy..." Bao Bao was sobbing intensely.

Chu Jin squatted down and wiped Bao Bao’s tears, "Didn’t mommy just give you three candies? Where are the candies?" Bao Bao and Bei Bei were just like when they were younger, very fond of candy.

"Bei Bei took them!" Bao Bao pointed at Bei Bei with an aggrieved face.

Bei Bei stomped her foot, "Mommy, Bao Bao is lying! He ate the candy himself!"

Chu Jin straightened her expression and looked at Bei Bei, "Call him ’brother’."

"Mommy, I didn’t take brother’s candy," said Bei Bei with an aggrieved look towards Chu Jin.

Chu Jin nodded, "I know, Bei Bei is a good child and wouldn’t take brother’s candy." Then, Chu Jin turned her eyes to Bao Bao with a stern face and said, "You are the older brother, and it’s your duty to protect your sister. How could you falsely accuse Bei Bei of taking your candy? You are punished with no candy for three days! Give all of your nine candies to your sister."

Upon hearing this, Bao Bao burst into tears.

Even though Bao Bao always talked about protecting his sister, the moment candy was involved, the promise of protection flew out of his mind.

Bei Bei sighed, pulled out a candy, and put it in Bao Bao’s mouth, "Don’t cry, brother. I’ll share my candies with you." Bei Bei, acting like a little adult, soothed Bao Bao.

"Thank you, sister. You are really nice," Bao Bao embraced Bei Bei excitedly, "Sister, I will protect you for life."

Looking at the two little ones being so affectionate with each other, Chu Jin was also very gratified, with a faint smile edging her lips.

Just then, a noise came from outside the door, followed by the laughter of the old Mrs. Mo, as well as the voices of other people.

The sounds grew closer and closer.

Chu Jin slightly furrowed her brows, as she seemed to hear Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu’s voices among them.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei also heard the commotion.

Bao Bao’s ears twitched, and then he said, "Including Grandma, there are a total of five people outside."

"There are three adults and two kids in total, besides Grandma, I haven’t seen the others," Bei Bei then said.

Hearing this, Chu Jin’s brows twitched slightly, somewhat incredulous at the two little ones’ judgement.

She hadn’t noticed it herself; were these two little ones really that perceptive?

Until the door was pushed open.

Mrs. Mo walked in beamingly from the outside, and called out, "Jin, Jin, come and see who’s back!"

"Grandma!" Upon hearing Mrs. Mo’s voice, Bao Bao and Bei Bei immediately ran out.

Chu Jin also followed them out and indeed, standing beside Mrs. Mo were really Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu, each holding a cute child by the hand, who seemed about the same age as Bao Bao and Bei Bei.

After five years, Tong Zhi was still the same as before, wearing a well-tailored cheongsam that traced her beautiful figure, and Mo Fengxu seemed to have become much younger.

"Aunt Tong, Uncle Three," Chu Jin walked over and hugged Tong Zhi, overcome with emotion.

"Jin," Tong Zhi embraced Chu Jin with a choked voice.

After not seeing each other for five years, there were too many emotions.

The two held each other tightly, dumbfounding the four little ones beside them.

It took a while before Tong Zhi finally let go of Chu Jin, and with a beaming smile, she said, "Jin, these must be Bao Bao and Bei Bei, right? They’ve grown so much in the years I haven’t been back!"

Chu Jin immediately said, "Bao Bao, Bei Bei, this is your grand-aunt and Uncle Three, say hello quickly."

"Hello Grand-aunt, hello Uncle Three," the two little ones greeted very politely.

"Good, good, good," Tong Zhi nodded in satisfaction, taking out two gift boxes from her tote bag and handing them to Bao Bao and Bei Bei, "These are gifts prepared by your grand-aunt, go ahead and take them." The packaging of the gifts was very beautiful, making one eager to accept them, but Bao Bao and Bei Bei did not reach out to take them, instead lifting their eyes to Chu Jin.

Without Mommy’s permission, Bao Bao and Bei Bei wouldn’t carelessly accept things from others.

Chu Jin nodded, and then Bao Bao and Bei Bei accepted the gifts.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei bowed gracefully, saying in unison, "Thank you, Grand-aunt."

Tong Zhi touched the heads of Bao Bao and Bei Bei gently, "Bao Bao and Bei Bei are so good." She then lifted her gaze to Chu Jin and said with a smile, "Jin, you’ve raised them really well."

Chu Jin replied with a light smile, "Aunt Tong, you haven’t seen the mischievous side of these two." Her eyes then fell on the two children by Tong Zhi’s side, "Xiangru and Yimo have also grown so big, and they look like you with almond eyes and fair skin." And truly, Xiangru and Yimo bore a resemblance to Tong Zhi, as they were raised by her from a young age.

Tong Zhi said with a smile, "Xiangru, Yimo, this is your ninth sister-in-law." In terms of family hierarchy, Xiangru and Yimo should indeed address Chu Jin as ninth sister-in-law, as they are now the cousins of Mo Zhixuan, who is the ninth in the Mo family lineage.

"Hello Ninth Sister-in-law," Xiangru and Yimo were also very well-mannered.

"Hello, you two," Chu Jin squatted down, holding the hands of Xiangru and Yimo, and said with a beaming smile, "I’m really sorry, your ninth sister-in-law didn’t know you were coming, so I didn’t prepare a meeting gift for you two."

"Mommy, give my candy to brother and sister," Bei Bei walked over and put all the candy from her pocket in front of Chu Jin.

"And my Peppa Pig, Peppa Pig can also be given to brother and sister." Bao Bao handed over his beloved Peppa Pig toy to Chu Jin.

Bao Bao and Bei Bei liked Xiangru and Yimo very much too.

Although the four of them hadn’t formally spoken yet, they had already communicated with each other several times with looks.

Only kids could truly play together.

Mrs. Mo and Tong Zhi both burst into hearty laughter.

Chu Jin also smiled lightly and said, "Bao Bao and Bei Bei, you can’t call Xiangru and Yimo brother and sister, you should call Xiangru little uncle, and Yimo little aunt."

Little uncle, little aunt?

This answer left Bao Bao and Bei Bei completely stunned!

These two kids seemed only a little older than them, so why were they being called little uncle and little aunt?

"Mommy, but, aren’t little uncle and little aunt adults? Brother and sister aren’t adults!" Bei Bei looked at Chu Jin somewhat puzzled.

Bao Bao also said, "Yeah, Mommy, Qingyi Auntie is an adult, but these two are still children, so why should we call them little uncle and little aunt?"

Chu Jin smiled and explained, "It’s because of the difference in generations, little uncle and little aunt have a higher status than you two, they are of the same generation as Mommy, so you need to call them little uncle and little aunt."

Generational hierarchy was indeed a magical thing.

"Oh." Bao Bao and Bei Bei nodded, not fully understanding.

Bei Bei continued, "Mommy, then why doesn’t anyone call me and brother little aunt or little uncle?" Why was their generational status so low?

Bao Bao also looked at Chu Jin with a curious face, he wanted to be a little uncle too.

Chu Jin very patiently said, "You’ll understand this question when you grow up, now, go take little auntie and little uncle to your amusement park to play."

Bao Bao and Bei Bei obediently nodded, turned back, and took the hands of Xiangru and Yimo, "Little auntie, little uncle, I’ll take you to play on the slide, and there’s also a swing."

Bao Bao added, "That’s right, that’s right, little auntie, little uncle, there are so many fun things at our house."

Hearing this conversation, Chu Jin couldn’t help but feel an urge to laugh.

Great-nephew and great-niece taking uncle and auntie to play.

This scene was unexpectedly amusing.

Tong Zhi said from behind, "Xiangru and Yimo, play nicely with Bao Bao and Bei Bei, and don’t bully them."

"Got it, Mommy." Yimo turned back, her voice clear and crisp.

Xiangru also said with a smile, "Mommy, don’t worry, we’ll become good friends with Bao Bao and Bei Bei."

It was evident that Xiangru and Yimo were also very sensible.

"I’ll go take a look," Mo Fengxu was somewhat uneasy to let the four little kids go out to play by themselves.

The elder Mrs. Mo smiled and said, "Feng Xu, you don’t need to worry, they are at home, nothing will happen, Bao Bao and Bei Bei often go out to play by themselves."

Hearing this, Mo Fengxu stopped, "That’s good then."

Chu Jin stood up, "Aunt Tong, Uncle, don’t stand outside, come in please."

The group entered the house.

Tong Zhi looked around the imperial palace and smiled, "It’s been five years, the imperial palace is still the same as before, with no changes."

"Aunt Tong, where all have you and Uncle traveled to in these five years?" Chu Jin poured tea for Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu.

Tong Zhi smiled and said, "We have traveled to almost every country in the world." In these past five years, their family of four had been constantly on the move, experiencing many different cultures and local customs. They had thought about settling down in a nice place, but after much consideration, they couldn’t bear to leave the Superpower World, couldn’t bear to part with these people.

"I really envy you, if only Mo Zhixuan and I could do the same," Chu Jin said wistfully.

Mo Zhixuan held an important position, and she too had her responsibilities; neither of them could afford to be as carefree as Tong Zhi and Mo Fengxu, to just up and leave.

"You’ll have your time," Tong Zhi patted Chu Jin’s hand and continued, "I heard Qingyi and Little Zhe are also on vacation at home, call them over."

Having not returned for many years, Tong Zhi missed everyone here.

Hearing this, the elder Mrs. Mo immediately said, "I’ll make the call."

After the call, Tong Zhi looked at the elder Mrs. Mo curiously and said, "Sis, is Qingyi pregnant yet?"

The elder Mrs. Mo shook her head, "Not yet, I don’t know what’s with those two, still no news." As an elder, it was not her place to say much more.

Tong Zhi frowned slightly and continued, "Qingyi and Zhe have been married for over four years, right? Why aren’t they planning for children? They’re almost hitting thirty, if they don’t have kids soon, giving birth will become risky."

The elder Mrs. Mo was also very concerned about this, "You’re telling me... those two really know how to worry people!"

Chu Jin laughed and joined in, "Maybe Qingyi and Duanmu aren’t in a rush, the two of them have such a good relationship, they must want to enjoy more of their world as a couple." Chu Jin had talked about this topic with Mo Qingyi before, but from Mo Qingyi’s attitude, it seemed they were not in a hurry to have children.
