After several days of feeling stifled, Mr. Chen's frustration gradually dissipated.
On Sunday, Mr. Shen squatted next to the rocking bed, staring at Sanmao from left to right. After looking at him for a long time, he realized that Sanmao really looked like Gu Lingyu, and not much like his own daughter.
This discovery made him somewhat uncomfortable.
So he asked his son, who had just come downstairs to get a drink of water, "You mentioned last time that your roommate's cousin found a girlfriend and they had twins. I'm asking you, how did they have the babies?"
Shen Wujun had been working overtime for several days in a row. Because he was worried about his niece, he would rush home every weekend. He had just woken up and his mind was still a little foggy. Upon hearing this, he said casually, "Don't we have a ready example in our family? Why don't you ask my sister and the others?"
Mr. Shen glared at him: "Then let me ask you, is the child your roommate's cousin gave birth to theirs?"
Shen Wujun yawned. "I guess so."
What do you mean by "calculate"?
"It's like the child was conceived by his cousin, but the egg came from his cousin's girlfriend. It was conceived through IVF. Genetically speaking, the child has nothing to do with his cousin."
Mr. Shen blinked and looked at Sanmao again: "Look at Sanmao, doesn't she look nothing like your sister?"
Shen Wujun glanced at it, "Sanmao is indeed quite similar to that thing..."
To be honest, he hasn't fully come to terms with the fact that Gu Lingyu is his "brother-in-law" yet, so he still feels awkward about how to address people.
After saying that, he belatedly realized something, exchanged a glance with Mr. Shen, and then jumped up, "Holy crap... that guy surnamed Gu, he wouldn't be asking my sister to have his baby, would he...?"
No sooner had they finished speaking than the father and son heard a sweet, childlike "Meow~"
The father and son exchanged another glance, then looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a pure white little fluffy ball of fur trembling as it jumped down from the gap in the rocking crib...
A note from the author:
Love you all, muah!
I was more than ten minutes late today.
Also: I'd like to recommend my good friend Ninth Prince's new novel, "Kiss Once, Live One More Day," isn't the title exciting enough?
Everyone should go check it out!
Trust me, Ninth Prince's writing is worth it, sob sob, she's a big shot who can write 12,000 words a day!
The text is as follows:
Shi Sheng and Yan Ru were childhood sweethearts, growing up together in the same bed since they were little.
When Shi Sheng was fifteen, she kissed Yan Ru and afterwards discovered that Yan Ru's lifespan had increased by one day.
Does being kissed increase your lifespan by one day?
Shi Sheng was different from others from a young age; she could see a person's lifespan on their wrist. And being close to people could increase one's lifespan.
That night she gave herself to Yanru, and the red candle burned out.
My lifespan on my wrist inexplicably increased by three months. It turns out that being loved really brings happiness.
****
Half a month later, Yan Ru became the Crown Princess. Shi Sheng gritted her teeth and married the old emperor, becoming his concubine.
The day after the wedding, the Crown Prince and his wife paid their respects to the Empress. The two knelt before Empress Shi Sheng and shouted "Long live the Empress!"
Shi Sheng was dissatisfied with Crown Princess Yan Ru: "You called her wrong. Call her again. You should call her Mother. If you call me Mother, I will gladly accept it."
Later, Yanru took the initiative to go back to Shisheng. Shisheng asked her why she chose to become the Crown Princess.
Yan Ru thought for a long time, "With power above all else, I will not change my mind."
Then he took the initiative to kiss Shi Sheng.
Shi Sheng pushed her away: "How dare you!"
Yan Ru remained silent for a long time before answering, "You don't allow me to be presumptuous, but I've been presumptuous many times. Our love is destined."
Chapter 90 Bullshit
The tiny kitten, no bigger than a palm, was still a little unsteady on its feet. Its fur was fluffy and puffed up, its ears were small, and its eyes weren't very bright. In short, it wasn't exactly beautiful, but it was incredibly cute.
The Shen father and son stared at the little creature that had suddenly appeared out of nowhere. It wasn't until the little creature tilted its head and meowed at them again that Shen Wujun exclaimed in shock, "Dad, Wangcai had kittens?"
Equally shocked, Mr. Shen shook his head, his eyes wide and fixed on the kitten on the ground, just like his son's: "I don't know..."
"Where did this cat come from?" After saying that, Shen Wujun suddenly looked at the rocking bed as if he had thought of something, and immediately became flustered: "Dad, is it Sanmao?"
“It’s not rocking…” Mr. Shen looked at the rocking bed, quickly picked up the entire blanket and shook it, but there was nothing there. He then hurriedly searched the floor around the rocking bed, but still found nothing.
Mr. Shen's heart leaped into his throat. He said anxiously, "She was just in the rocking crib a moment ago..."
Damn it!
In broad daylight, these two grown men lost sight of their child in the blink of an eye, right in their own living room.
"What are you two looking for?" Su Yunzhi asked casually as she came out of the kitchen and saw their anxious expressions.
Mr. Shen's face was grim; he was so anxious and agitated that even his voice was hoarse: "Sanmao is missing."
Su Yunzhi thought he was joking and laughed, scolding, "You two are making fun of me so early in the morning, you're not serious at all..."
“She was just in the rocking crib a moment ago. I was only talking to Junjun for a couple of minutes when the child disappeared.”
Seeing that he wasn't joking, Su Yunzhi's face immediately turned cold. She hurriedly went to the rocking crib to check, "How could the child be missing?"
Neither Mr. Shen nor Shen Wujun spoke.
Su Yunzhi got angry at their expressions. "What are you all standing there for? Go upstairs and ask Wuqiu..."
Just as they were talking, the little kitten crouching on the ground wobbled over, meowing.
Su Yunzhi then noticed the little furball and was startled, jumping back two steps: "...Where did this kitten come from? Junjun, quickly go upstairs to your sister's place and check..."
She just asked casually, and now that Sanmao is gone, none of them have much time to pay attention to such a little thing.
Shen Wujun went upstairs with a glimmer of hope.
Gu Lingyu happened to come out of Shen Wuqiu's room and saw him in such a hurry, so she asked, "Brother, what happened?"
Ever since her father reluctantly agreed to let her call him "Dad," she has affectionately called him "little brother" every time she sees Shen Wujun.
Before, Shen Wujun would scold her every time she called out, but now he was in a hurry and didn't have time to care about such a small matter. He pretended not to hear and asked her directly, "Did you go down to hug Sanmao just now?"
Gu Lingyu was puzzled, "Didn't Sanmao get his bottom washed by the auntie first thing this morning?"
Although all four children sleep in the same room with the wife at night, the elders in the family understand that it is hard for them to take care of four children, so every day when the children wake up, the elders will take the initiative to help with feeding and changing diapers.
Sanmao had been being taken care of by Zhao Jiujiu these past few days, but someone introduced her son to a blind date, so she went back home last night. Therefore, Su Yunzhi went upstairs early this morning to bring Sanmao, who had pooped, down to earth.
Upon hearing her words, Shen Wujun's heart sank instantly. "Sanmao is missing..."
"Huh?" Gu Lingyu thought she had misheard. "What do you mean by 'disappeared'?"
Although Shen Wujun was unwilling to acknowledge this "brother-in-law" from the bottom of his heart, the child was, after all, part of the other party's family. He said anxiously and with guilt, "We saw the child in the rocking crib just a second ago, but after exchanging a few words, we couldn't see him anymore."
"How could this be?" Gu Lingyu was genuinely puzzled. Seeing her brother-in-law's anxious expression, she comforted him, "Don't worry, I'll go take a look."
Shen Wujun nodded, "I'll go tell my sister..."
Gu Lingyu quickly pulled him back: "Qiuqiu just finished feeding Er Mao, and she's sleeping with Da Mao and Er Mao right now. Don't disturb her."
As she spoke, she pulled Shen Wujun downstairs.
As soon as she entered the lobby, a little kitten sniffed her scent and stumbled towards her, meowing.
Upon seeing the little brat, Gu Lingyu immediately tensed up.
Shen Wujun was completely oblivious to her emotional change. When he saw the kitten rushing towards them, he added, "By the way, when Sanmao went missing, my dad and I just happened to see this kitten jump off Sanmao's rocking bed..."
As he spoke, he bent down and gently scooped the stumbling kitten into his arms.
"..." This made Gu Lingyu, who was still planning to turn the little cub back to its original form without anyone noticing, even more nervous. Just as she was thinking about how to trick her brother-in-law into giving her the kitten, her father-in-law came over in a hurry: "Where's Sanmao? Did you take him upstairs?"
Gu Lingyu didn't know how to answer.
If she had known that Sanmao had turned into a cat, she wouldn't have told the truth just now.
Seeing her expression, Mr. Shen knew the child wasn't upstairs and panicked, not knowing what to do: "Where are we supposed to look? I only missed it for a couple of seconds..."
Su Yunzhi was also anxious, and in her anxiety she scolded him: "What are you two talking about so enthusiastically so early in the morning? The child is right under your noses, and you still can't find him..."
Gu Lingyu felt a pang of guilt. "Dad, don't worry, Sanmao isn't lost..."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Shen immediately looked at her and asked, "Where?"
Gu Lingyu, unsure whether to speak or not, glanced cautiously at the little kitten in Shen Wujun's arms and said, "Anyway, it's not lost, so you don't need to worry."
If she, as a mother, is so calm, she's probably telling the truth.
However, Mr. Shen still couldn't understand, "Did you secretly take the child upstairs?"
Gu Lingyu thought for a moment and nodded.
"You child, aren't you just being silly..." Mr. Shen breathed a sigh of relief, but still couldn't calm down, so he turned and went upstairs.
Gu Lingyu quickly followed, trying to stop him.
However, Mr. Shen was very stubborn. No matter what she said, he insisted on going upstairs to find out what was going on. Mainly, he felt that the child had been lost right under his nose, and he wouldn't feel at ease unless he saw the child with his own eyes.
Having no other choice, Gu Lingyu hurriedly followed.
After having a child, Shen Wuqiu became a light sleeper; she would wake up as soon as her father knocked on the door.
As soon as she opened the door, Mr. Shen got straight to the point: "Where's Sanmao?"
Shen Wuqiu asked in confusion, "Wasn't Sanmao taken downstairs by Mom early this morning?"
Mr. Shen turned around and glared at Gu Lingyu: "Tell me, where is Sanmao?"
Shen Wuqiu sensed something was wrong and frowned: "What happened to Sanmao?"
"It's all my fault, I didn't keep a close eye on him..." Mr. Shen said with great remorse, "Sanmao is lost..."
"Lost?" Shen Wuqiu raised her voice, showing the concern of a normal mother, unlike some heartless people. "How could it be lost at home?"
Seeing how anxious and upset they were, Gu Lingyu had no choice but to say, "Sanmao isn't lost, he's right here at home..."
Mr. Shen was about to hit her: "Then tell me, where is Sanmao?"
