Chapter 812: 813 (first update)

Mo Qingyi was actually pretty nervous.

And a little scared too.

...

**

At the Mo family home.

Today was the twenty-ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, and the elderly Mrs. Mo was already preparing the New Year goods. In reality, there was no need for her to do these things herself, but she insisted on doing it to feel a bit of the New Year spirit.

After changing her clothes, Chu Jin walked out of the dressing room. She had just wanted to confront Mo Zhixuan, to grab his ear, but her hand only reached halfway before she saw Mo Zhixuan’s sleeping face and quietly withdrew it.

Looking at Mo Zhixuan, a hint of distress flickered in her eyes.

In this period, Mo Zhixuan had been bustling about, and it had been over half a month since he’d had a good night’s sleep. Forget it, she should forgive him first.

Chu Jin clapped her hands and then walked out of the room, gently closing the door behind her.

Downstairs, the elderly Mrs. Mo was busy in the kitchen, with a scent of braised food wafting through the air.

Chu Jin walked into the kitchen, her face brimming with smiles, and asked, "Mom, what delicious thing are you making? It smells so good."

Mrs. Mo looked back with a beaming smile, "Jin, why are you up so early? Why didn’t you sleep a bit longer? I’m making braised noodles. Do you want to try some?"

Chu Jin nodded, "Yes, yes, it smells so good, it must taste even better."

Mrs. Mo happily served Chu Jin a bowl of braised noodles, ladled the fragrant braising sauce over it, added a chicken leg and wing, drizzled sesame oil, and sprinkled cilantro, chopped green onions, and minced garlic on top, then topped it off with a spoonful of chili.

A bowl of fragrant braised noodles was presented before Chu Jin, making her swallow hard.

It was just too appetizing!

The temptation of food was irresistible!

Having a capable mother-in-law who could cook so well was truly a blessing.

Chu Jin mixed the noodles and then wolfed them down.

To say she wolfed them down, yet it was still quite a sight to behold. She didn’t eat slowly, but her elegance was ten times that of those affected daughters from noble families.

It can only be said that beautiful people make even eating a beautiful thing.

Mrs. Mo sat opposite Chu Jin, her face full of expectation as she asked, "Jin, is it tasty?"

Chu Jin nodded repeatedly, "Delicious, delicious! Mom, your cooking skills are just too amazing!"

"I’m glad you like it," Mrs. Mo said with a very satisfied smile, "If you like it, mom will make it for you every day from now on. Qingyi used to love these braised noodles as well. I’ll have Qinghe bring some over to her later."

Speaking of Mo Qingyi, a touch of wistfulness flickered across Mrs. Mo’s eyes. The house seemed a lot colder without the chatter of Mo Qingyi, and it was quite unsettling.

Although Mrs. Mo used to always complain about Mo Qingyi, now that she was truly married off, she couldn’t help but miss her.

Ah, the thought of it was quite distressing.

Seeing Mrs. Mo like this, Chu Jin looked up slightly, "Mom, you must be missing Qingyi. Since the two houses are so close, why not just have her come back to eat? Why bother having Qinghe send it over?"

The Duanmu family lived very close to the imperial palace, a ten-minute walk or a much shorter drive, so coming and going was very convenient.

Mrs. Mo shook her head with a smile, "What kind of daughter just got married and then returns to her parents’ house? The proper day for her to come back hasn’t even arrived yet."

This was a custom taken seriously in the Superpower World.

"Oh," Chu Jin nodded, "So according to that, Qingyi will return on the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

"That’s right." Mrs. Mo’s eyes showed concern, "I just don’t know if that girl Qingyi is getting used to life at the Duanmu family, or if she’s gotten up yet..."

Mo Qingyi had only been married for a day, and Mrs. Mo was already worrying about all kinds of things.

Chu Jin laughed and comforted her, "Mom, don’t worry. Duanmu’s parents are very kind; they surely won’t make it difficult for Qingyi."

Mrs. Mo replied with a smile, "That’s not what I’m worried about. Oh," it seemed as if something had occurred to Mrs. Mo as she looked at Chu Jin and continued, "I heard that Duanmu Sheng is now staying at the Duanmu family’s house?"

Mrs. Mo didn’t have a very good impression of Duanmu Sheng.

In her eyes, Duanmu Sheng was a girl stubborn to the extreme, intractable, who wouldn’t listen to other people’s advice and was difficult to get along with. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have suffered such great losses.

Since ancient times, there have always been endless problems between sisters-in-law, and she feared that there might be conflicts between Duanmu Sheng and Mo Qingyi.

Chu Jin was aware of Mrs. Mo’s concerns and replied, "According to Mo Zhixuan, it seems like Sheng has already moved out of the family home."

"Oh, that’s good then," Mrs. Mo breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.

Only after Chu Jin finished the entire bowl of noodles did Mo Zhixuan come downstairs.

Seeing Mo Zhixuan come down, Mrs. Mo immediately stood up and said, "Zhixuan, are you hungry? Mom made braised noodles. Do you want a bowl?"

Mo Zhixuan sat down next to Chu Jin, "Alright."

The Mo family’s matriarch went to the kitchen to serve noodles for Mo Zhixuan.

Taking advantage of this moment, Chu Jin looked up at Mo Zhixuan, squinting slightly, and asked in a clear voice, "Mo Zhixuan, come clean, what kind of mischief were you up to last night?"

Mo Zhixuan looked innocently at Chu Jin, "What mischief? None at all."

Chu Jin slightly raised an eyebrow, "Really none?"

"Oh..." Mo Zhixuan suddenly realized, as if he had remembered something, "Ah, you mean that thing. No need to thank me; it’s what a husband should do."

"Thank?" Chu Jin pinched Mo Zhixuan’s ear, whispering, "A tree without bark will surely die; a man without shame is invincible. Mo Zhixuan, congratulations, you’re invincible!"

Mo Zhixuan took her hand, "Jin, you can’t be unreasonable. Just because I’m easy to bully doesn’t mean you can keep bullying me. Have you forgotten that last night I personally fed you milk? That’s quite an exhausting task. Don’t you think you should say thank you?"

Chu Jin narrowed her eyes a bit, "What did you feed me with?" She didn’t remember drinking any milk.

If Chu Jin knew Mo Zhixuan had fed her with his mouth, she would beat the crap out of him!

"It doesn’t matter how you were fed, just that you drank it," Mo Zhixuan said, suddenly lowering his voice, and continued, "And, not just your mouth got to enjoy the milk..."

Saying this, Mo Zhixuan’s gaze drifted towards Chu Jin’s chest.

It seemed, he had discovered yet another point of extreme pleasure.

Chu Jin slapped his face, "Shameless!"

"I only need you," Mo Zhixuan caught Chu Jin’s hand, "why would I need a face?"

Just then, the Mo family’s matriarch came out from the kitchen with a bowl of noodles, smiling warmly, "Zhixuan, your noodles are ready. Eat up, there’s more in the pot."

"Thank you, Mom," Mo Zhixuan released Chu Jin’s hand.

"Jin, do you want some too? If so, I can serve you a bowl," the matriarch turned to Chu Jin.

Chu Jin shook her head slightly, "No thanks, I’m full already."

"Mom, Jin said she wants to drink milk," Mo Zhixuan suddenly spoke up, a teasing sparkle in his eyes.

"Wants to drink milk? I’ll go heat some up for her right now," the matriarch immediately stood up.

Chu Jin glared at Mo Zhixuan, "Mom, don’t listen to Mo Zhixuan’s nonsense, I don’t want any milk, please don’t trouble yourself."

"You’ve just had noodles, you must be thirsty. Drinking some milk is good, plus it’s good for the baby’s skin," the matriarch sat Chu Jin down in a chair, "You sit here, don’t move, Mom will be right back."

Chu Jin had no choice but to sit down, then she bit hard into Mo Zhixuan’s arm.

This man was getting more and more audacious!

"Hiss." Mo Zhixuan hissed in pain, "Jin, are you trying to murder your own husband?"

Only then did Chu Jin let go of him.

The matriarch quickly came out with the milk, "Jin, drink up."

Chu Jin took the milk with a smile, "Thank you, Mom."

The matriarch then said, "Jin, aren’t you going to the prenatal checkup today? If Zhixuan is busy, I can go with you later."

Mo Zhixuan finished the last of his noodles, "Mom, I’m starting my leave these days. I’ll accompany Jin today, so we won’t be back for lunch. No need to wait for us."

Not coming back for lunch?

Chu Jin looked up at Mo Zhixuan, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

The prenatal checkup would only take an hour or two; they would still have time to come home for lunch. What on earth was he up to now?

Mo Zhixuan rubbed his hand over her head, explaining, "I’ve booked a photo session at the studio for today. After the checkup, we’ll head there."

"Really going?" Chu Jin raised her eyebrows slightly, she had thought that Mo Zhixuan was just talking about it yesterday, but he actually meant it.

"Of course it’s real. When have I ever lied to you?" Mo Zhixuan’s lips curved into a faint smile.

Mo Zhixuan wrapped a scarf around Chu Jin’s neck, then placed a hat on her head. Once he was sure that Chu Jin was completely bundled up, he felt relieved and took her hand to walk outside.

Chu Jin tugged at the scarf around her neck, "I’m not as cold as you think I am. Can’t you let me wear less?"

"No." Mo Zhixuan’s attitude was very firm, "It snowed all last night. It will be sunny after the frost, cold after the snow, and it’s chilly out there now. You’re not just one person anymore; at a critical time like this, you need to be more careful about keeping warm."

The matriarch immediately said, "Jin, Zhixuan is right. This is a critical time for you. It’s better to wear more than less." After saying this, the matriarch instructed, "Zhixuan, we’re nearing the end of the year, and it’s crowded everywhere. You must take good care of Jin! Don’t let her fall or get bumped into!"

Mo Zhixuan nodded slightly, "Don’t worry, Mom, I understand."

The matriarch naturally trusted Mo Zhixuan.

With an umbrella in hand and shoes changed, Mo Zhixuan said to the matriarch, "Mom, we’ll be on our way now."
