Lu Shaoting could only retreat. It was his choice after all. It was not like he could drag him by the ear and take him to the Southern Hill. "I see."

Silence followed. Due to what Lu Shaoting had just brought up, the atmosphere became a bit awkward. Lu Shaoting didn't know whether to leave or stay to play a game of chess and try to change the topic later. He sipped on the water that had been served to him like a little student awaiting punishment.

This was the scene Wan Jia witnessed when she came downstairs.

"What's going on? My little brother-in-law looks like he's on the verge of taking off." She laughed. She had to admit that he looked too adorable.

Lu Shaoting gave her a side glance. That's because I really want to take off, alright? All thanks to your husband.

He really wanted to ask Wan Jia something but with Lu Aotian here, he couldn't even breath comfortably, let alone ask his question. Besides, he couldn't speak to his sister-in-law secretly, or it might seem like he had something to hide.

Lu Aotian ignored his brother like he was part of the air. "My love, could you see the guest out?"

Lu Shaoting was drinking water, and he chocked on it, coughing violently. "Guest?"

Lu Aotian continued ignoring him, as though he was really a guest and an annoying one at that.

Wan Jia was surprised too but she showed him out obediently.

As they walked out, she couldn't help but ask, "You brought up your mother, didn't you?"

"Is it that obvious?"

Wan Jia shrugged. "Don't I know my husband? There's only one thing that would make him that mad at you." Aside from her and Little Jia, there was one other thing that if touched, Lu Aotian might explode. And that was the topic about his late mother. Wan Jia herself couldn't understand him regarding this, let alone other people.

Lu Shaoting sighed. He would just continue giving him time.

...

Since Lu Aotian was still adamant about not wanting to go to that place, Lu Shaoting could only take Su Ling alone.

"Do you come here often?" Su Ling asked when they arrived.

"When I was a kid, I used to come here every time I felt sad. But now, I come every time something important happens." Actually, every time he had good news to tell, the first person he would tell was her.

Su Ling looked at his side profile. He must have loved her too much.

He bowed and placed a bouquet of lilies on the stone. "Mom, the woman I love accepted my proposal. I'm so happy."

He took Su Ling's hand, as though introducing her. "She's the woman I've been talking about for so long. Our baby is fine and healthy too."

Su Ling paid her respects too. "Mom, I'll take good care of Shaoting and our baby."

Lu Shaoting broke into a smile. "Right, I forgot to mention, sister-in-law is pregnant too. You will have two new grandchildren at the same time."

...

After the banquet the previous night, Yun Xuan had something else to do. She was so tired that she fell asleep. She only woke up in the morning to pick up her son.

The little boy was in Xia Rou's arms when she arrived in the Lin residence. It was not surprising that he was happily drinking the bottled milk that Xia Rou was feeding him.

She sat beside Xia Rou and watched with a smile. The little boy kept drinking milk, not paying attention to his mother. When he was full, his eyes started drooping.

Yun Xuan exchanged some small talk with Xia Rou then took him from Xia Rou's arms gently.

Alas, the little thing woke up fitfully and started crying.

Yun Xuan was used to her son's temper. She rocked him genty. "It's okay, mommy is here."

He momentarily stopped crying and looked at Yun Xuan. It was not sure what he was thinking, because he started crying and throwing a fit again.

Yun Xuan was speechless. Had the little one forgotten his mother?

She tried to coax him in all ways, but he became even more fitful. He had just drunk milk, so he was not hungry. Yun Xuan wanted to pull her hair off her head. What did this honorable little god want from her?

Why couldn't he be obedient like Little Jia? Yun Xuan had also had trouble in her pregnancy, unlike Wan Jia whose children were both obedient.

Xia Rou tickled his tiny leg, to which he laughed through his tears, making Yun Xuan more speechless. Not only that, he also stretched his tiny arms towards Xia Rou.

"You've got to be kidding me. You little boy, whose son are you?"

He tormented her day and night, and now he was being obedient to Xia Rou?

"He is fearful. You should coax him more. When he is older, don't give in to everything he wants, or he will become temperamental when things don't go his way."

"Oh..." so it was because of this.

Xia Rou told her more about how to take care of him, and Yun Xuan listened attentively. Xia Rou had seen the sun for a longer time than her, of course she knew better.

After being coaxed by Xia Rou, the tiny boy was no longer fitful. He grabbed his mother's shirt in his soft tiny hand and went to sleep peacefully, looking like a little angel. He really liked grabbing onto things while sleeping. Looking at his innocent face, Yun Xuan was once again speechless. The Yun Feng right now could easily decieve people with his sweet face. If only people could see the little devil he was when awake...
