To Gu Hanhan, these words sounded extremely childish.
"If I don't care, who will?" Gu Hanhan sighed, pressed her down to sit on the bed, and coaxed her like a child, "Be good, I'll give you a hot compress, and it won't hurt anymore."
Shen Wuqiu felt satisfied, but feigned disgust on her face, saying, "Are you trying to fool me like a three-year-old?"
"Then aren't you my little kid?" Gu Hanhan chuckled. "Besides, if we're really talking about age, you're practically a little kid to me."
Speaking of this, Shen Wuqiu was still somewhat resentful and wanted to bring up old grievances, "Who was it that kept calling me 'sister' before? And said that they were only eighteen years old?"
Gu Hanhan argued confidently: "In our race, the infancy period is very long. Only when we enter the mating season are we considered adults. Don't you humans only become adults at eighteen? Although I entered the mating season a little later, at five hundred years old, I did indeed become an adult."
Five hundred years old?
Although she knew she couldn't calculate this like a normal person, Shen Wuqiu was still a little shocked. "So... at what age do normal cats usually go into heat..."
“Around three hundred years old, I guess.” Gu Hanhan tried to salvage the situation. “I’m considered normal, just a couple hundred years slower… But my mother said it’s better to mature a little later. If you’re mature enough to go into heat, you’ll know how to cherish your partner more.”
Shen Wuqiu gave her a look.
Gu Hanhan swallowed hard and bit his lip: "Mother is right, isn't she... I still love you, don't I..."
Shen Wuqiu gave a soft snort.
Gu Hanhan immediately replied, "Of course, I think I can be even more loving towards you."
Shen Wuqiu looked up at her and asked, "Hmm?"
"Really," Gu Hanhan assured her, then paused and added, "At worst... I'll do whatever you say in bed from now on..."
"Didn't you say you'd listen to me last night? And what happened? This morning, to avoid me, you didn't even go to breakfast."
Speaking of last night, Gu Hanhan blushed a little, "...You humans have a saying, 'Practice makes perfect,' right? I...I've never seen anything like this before..."
Shen Wuqiu paused for a moment, then asked, "What do you mean by 'seen'?"
Gu Hanhan seemed to realize he had let something slip and tried to cover it up: "What? You've seen it?"
Shen Wuqiu could tell what she was thinking just by looking at her expression. Without asking any questions, he simply stared straight at her.
After a long pause, Gu Hanhan finally gave in and confessed everything: "Okay... procreation is a major event in the clan. There are special elders in the clan who will draw up pictures of this matter and then provide them for the younger generation in the clan to study."
"..." Shen Wuqiu was shocked. This must be the legendary erotic palace painting. "Your clan's elders are really open-minded."
Gu Hanhan disagreed with this statement, saying, "They are not enlightened at all. They are very rigid. Starting from the age of two hundred, they have been giving me lessons every few days. If I don't go to the lessons, they will complain to my parents."
Shen Wuqiu: "What kind of class?"
"This kind of learning... they not only force us to watch it, but also explain it to us."
"..." Shen Wuqiu was a little flustered. She did some mental calculations and said, "So you've been studying for a full three hundred years?"
Gu Hanhan looked like he had a deep grudge, "Isn't that right?"
"So you're still a late bloomer?"
Gu Hanhan blinked: "What does this have to do with being a late bloomer?"
Looking at her bewildered expression, Shen Wuqiu seriously suspected that the cat in front of her might not be fully cooked yet.
"It's nothing." Shen Wuqiu lowered her eyes. "Give me the breast pump."
Gu Hanhan quickly tested the temperature of the towel, which was only lukewarm, so she took the towel to the bathroom and soaked it in hot water again. "I'll give you a hot compress first."
Shen Wuqiu did not refuse again and carefully took off her clothes.
Gu Hanhan looked at the ripe peaches on her chest and instinctively swallowed. "They've gotten so much bigger."
Shen Wuqiu slapped her on the head in an annoyed manner.
Gu Hanhan quickly applied a towel to her and gently applied the hot compress for two minutes before handing the breast pump to Shen Wuqiu.
Shen Wuqiu felt a little ashamed seeing her standing in front of her, and covered her chest. "Alright, you can go down now, I can do it myself."
"I'll help you right here."
"What do you want me to do for you? Help me drink my milk?"
Gu Hanhan just refused to move, saying, "It's not like it's the first time I've drunk it."
Shen Wuqiu had no choice but to turn around.
Gu Hanhan finally understood, "Qiuqiu, are you embarrassed? I was embarrassed when you made me do that in front of you last night."
Shen Wuqiu was too lazy to argue with her, so she simply went all out.
After applying the hot compress, it still hurt a bit at first, but in the end, Gu Hanhan felt sorry for his partner and used his spiritual power to massage and unblock her meridians while sucking her blood, and the pain disappeared.
After about ten minutes of struggling, Shen Wuqiu finally felt relieved.
Afterwards, Gu Hanhan started urging his partner again: "Now the children can eat by themselves, they can be weaned."
Shen Wuqiu said to her, "If you didn't know the truth, you would think you were a stepmother."
Gu Hanhan defended himself: "I'm doing this for their own good. I can't let them become too dependent on you, otherwise they'll always be clinging to you."
Shen Wuqiu scoffed at her: "How old are they?"
"The baby is a full moon now, so he's a big boy."
Shen Wuqiu ignored her, went to the bathroom to tidy herself up, changed her clothes, picked up her phone to check the time, and said, "Go downstairs, it's probably time to prepare dinner."
Seeing that she didn't move, Shen Wuqiu sighed softly, "Let's look after the children. If they stop drinking milk in the future, let them eat on their own."
Gu Hanhan was finally satisfied. "Then what you said is true."
Shen Wuqiu nodded perfunctorily and led her downstairs.
"I was just about to call you." Su Yunzhi said to the two of them as they came down, "I made fish paste for the children with goat milk."
"Have they eaten?" Shen Wuqiu glanced towards the living room and saw Sanmao and Ermao tumbling off the sofa together. She quickly called out to them, "Ermao, Sanmao, come and eat."
Upon hearing her voice, the two sisters, who had been huddled together fighting, suddenly ran towards her, meowing.
Shen Wuqiu squatted down and touched one in each hand.
Su Yunzhi brought over a large basin of goat milk and fish paste, dodging Si Mao who was rushing over, "It's a bit hot, I'm afraid they'll eat too fast, so I haven't fed them yet."
Gu Lingyu took the small bowls from her hands, laid them out in a row on the coffee table, and called out to the children, "Come and eat!"
Si Mao was the first to rush over. Er Mao and San Mao rubbed against their mother's palms for a while until Su Yunzhi brought a large basin to serve them food before they came over. Only Da Mao was slow to move.
Chapter 110
Shen Wuqiu glanced around the hall and then noticed that Da Mao was sitting gracefully on the back of the long sofa.
"Baby, so you were here all along."
"Meow~" Da Mao responded to her with a pitiful sound after hearing her voice.
The sofa in the hall was an old-fashioned, conventional leather sofa with a flat backrest, about fifteen centimeters wide. Da Mao squatted in the middle of the backrest of this long sofa, her little feet pressed tightly together, her little head slightly raised, exuding a queenly aura.
Unfortunately, those watery eyes lacked any sense of authority, turning the queen's majestic presence into that of a spoiled brat.
Her soft, delicate voice also carries a sense of grievance, making people's hearts melt instantly. Even if she has caused a huge disaster, it's hard to blame her.
At least, that's how Shen Wuqiu, as a mother, felt.
"What's wrong with my little darling..." Upon hearing her daughter Jiaojiao's sweet voice, Shen Wuqiu's heart melted, and she immediately went over to her.
"Meow~" Da Mao looked up at her, her little mouth pouting.
Shen Wuqiu felt extremely sorry for her and gently patted her head.
Da Mao rubbed affectionately against her palm, then stretched out one of his little feet and rubbed against her body.
Shen Wuqiu pulled her into her arms, "Baby, you wanted Mommy to hug you..."
"Meow~" Da Mao blinked its watery eyes at her. The next second, Shen Wuqiu felt a weight on her hand. When she looked again, she saw the little baby rubbing against her chest.
"So, my baby wants to drink milk..." Most mothers have this kind of trouble. It's annoying when the child keeps pestering you for milk, but if the child suddenly stops drinking your milk, you feel empty inside.
Shen Wuqiu felt this way. Today, the children gave her a day off, and while she felt relaxed, she also felt a little lost.
At that moment, Da Mao kept pestering her to drink milk, and she felt that pride and satisfaction of being a mother again.
"No wonder Da Mao won't eat with the sisters, so you still have to feed him." Su Yunzhi teased, glancing into her arms. "You feed Da Mao first, we'll wait for you."
Shen Wuqiu: "No need, you guys eat first, otherwise the food will get cold."
Seeing this, Gu Lingyu lost her appetite and walked over as if to take the child away.
Shen Wuqiu knew what she was thinking, so she avoided her and wouldn't let her hug her: "Alright, go eat. I'll feed Da Mao, then you can hug him."
Gu Hanhan got angry instantly, "She's so spoiled. Let her go eat with her younger sisters and see how well Er Mao and the others eat by themselves."
Shen Wuqiu retorted irritably, "I'm not letting you feed him, why are you making such a fuss?"
Gu Hanhan was furious. "Then you can just spoil her."
Shen Wuqiu ignored her and carried Da Mao upstairs to breastfeed.
The couple had another minor argument in front of everyone, but no one felt awkward. They continued eating as usual. Zhou Xingxing politely called out to a certain sullen cat, "Hey, don't feel too sorry for Qiuqiu. For a mother, breastfeeding her child should be a very happy thing, and she shouldn't feel tired."
Zhao Jiujiu glanced at the cat and continued Zhou Xingxing's words: "It's not that he feels sorry for his wife's hard work in breastfeeding, he's jealous of the child."
Stephen Chow suddenly realized, "No way, sis, why are you jealous of this too... Do you want to drink milk or something?"
Gu Lingyu glared at her, "You're a single dog, what do you know?"
Stephen Chow shrugged: "Oh."
Mr. Shen, who had been listening to this for a while, couldn't take it anymore and said, "Alright, alright, let's eat."
Gu Lingyu reluctantly sat down at the dining table again. Seeing the food that Su Yunzhi had reserved for Shen Wuqiu, she said, "Don't prepare soup for Qiuqiu anymore. Now that the babies can eat by themselves, she's always uncomfortable with engorgement."
Su Yunzhi said, "Da Mao wants to drink more."
Gu Lingyu felt annoyed whenever she talked about this kid.
When I feel irritable, I lose my appetite, so I just ate a little something and went upstairs to hold the baby.
"Be quiet, Da Mao needs to sleep." Shen Wuqiu was still sitting on the bed breastfeeding when she saw her rushing around and gave her a displeased remark.
Gu Lingyu was annoyed, but she didn't yell at her partner. "I'm done eating. I'll carry you. You go eat."
