Chapter 1398: Extra 25 Ten Years
Seven months later, Mo Yan safely gave birth to a son, named Xiao Jue, with the nickname Tuntun, meaning little pig. The nickname came from the chubby girl’s dissatisfaction with her younger brother, who would just eat and sleep all day and couldn’t accompany her to play, so she came up with this somewhat teasing name.
The arrival of Xiao Jue meant that the Xiao Family finally had a successor, relieving Mo Yan and Xiao Ruiyuan from the gossip and rumors of the outside world. Not only did Mo Qingze and the others breathe a sigh of relief, but Chu Heng, who had always worried for Xiao Ruiyuan, also completely let go of his concerns. On the third day after the birth, known as "washing the third", he personally visited and dropped a pure gold piglet into the baby’s washbasin, to the sheer delight of the midwife, who couldn’t stop smiling.
Everyone was happy for the birth of the new life, but Xiao Ruiyuan, now a father again, had mixed feelings about it.
The birth of the chubby girl had already diverted Mo Yan’s attention, and it was not easy to finally have a son, achieving the perfect balance of both a daughter and a son. The majority of Mo Yan’s energy was spent on the two children, thus naturally neglecting Xiao Ruiyuan, who wished to be by her side every day.
At this, Xiao Ruiyuan, who had just turned forty, harbored deep grievances and privately regretted not having taken more packs of Sterility Powder. Of course, he wouldn’t dare to express such thoughts openly, especially when faced with his son’s innocent and naive little face, he tossed these ideas as far as Java and virtually took care of everything himself, changing diapers, bathing, feeding water... he did it all.
Of course, compared to his son, who looked seven parts like himself, Xiao Ruiyuan held a subtle preference for his chubby daughter, who resembled his wife in eight parts. Therefore, he wasn’t as careful in taking care of his son as he had been with his daughter. Several times at night, he awkwardly made his son choke while feeding him water, which greatly angered Mo Yan, leading her to reeducate him quite a few times.
It wasn’t easy to bring Tuntun up to the point where he could walk and call ’Daddy’ and ’Mommy’ and ’Sister’. Xiao Ruiyuan thought he finally had the energy and time to recapture his wife’s attention, only to find, to his surprise and joy, that two months later, Mo Yan was pregnant again, and this time it was completely unplanned.
Having had both a son and a daughter, Mo Yan’s desire to have more children was not as strong. She planned to consider whether or not to have another child when Tuntun turned two. But no one could have anticipated that even the Contraceptive Grass she wore would fail, and she became unexpectedly pregnant.
