Chapter 528: Chapter 528 The Man in a Bad Mood (4)_1

"How can you tell he’s not in a good mood?" Fang Liuming didn’t notice anything, as Mo Heng was too good at hiding his emotions. He only showed a different side to his cousin.

Pei Wendong touched his chin, feigning profundity, "Intuition!"

Fang Liuming fell silent for a moment, then patted his head, "Little Radish’s intuition is never accurate!"

"I’m serious! Brother-in-law is really in a bad mood. I even asked Zhang Gengshan about it." Pei Wendong had his reasons for saying so.

It was only then that Fang Liuming found it believable, but still wondered why. Everything seemed fine before the New Year, so why was his cousin’s husband feeling down now? Could it be homesickness?

It wasn’t homesickness Mo Heng felt, but rather, it was his wife.

Pei Qin had already passed the first three months of her pregnancy before the year’s end. Despite being three months along, she hardly showed, and she barely noticed her pregnancy, doing everything she used to do. At night, she would fall asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, completely disregarding the man she shared the bed with.

After the New Year festivities, Pei Qin began to tinker with the bag of things Shen Songming had sent her. Aside from joining him for meals and sleeping, giving him a routine peck, she largely ignored him. Let alone more intimate marital relations.

A man, unsatisfied and neglected, how could his mood be anything but sour?

Zhang Gengshan and Feng Wei were the first to notice his foul mood, though they couldn’t pinpoint the reason.

Mo Heng’s discontent lasted all the way until the fifteenth.

Finally having some free time, Pei Qin and her family sat down together to make sweet dumplings.

After finishing two bowls of dumplings with different savory and sweet flavors, Pei Yuan and Pei Qian, along with the younger kids, were taken out to see the lantern festival. However, Pei Qin was pulled back to the backyard.

"You’re pregnant now, it’s not safe with the streets full of people and carriages," Mo Heng found a noble-sounding excuse.

"I’m not some delicate vase that’ll shatter at a touch!" Pei Qin quite liked the ancient lantern festivals. The historical charm of those lanterns, while not as flashy as modern neon lights, had a flavor all their own.

"Grandma Fang even said the day before yesterday that you’re always careless, forgetting about your pregnancy." Mo Heng played the Grandma Fang card.

"I am being careful! How could I forget with Little Radish inside me!" Pei Qin said with a guilty conscience, her memory only vivid during the bouts of morning sickness. Tugging him towards the door, "Come on! It’s bustling outside! You only get this once a year, when the lantern lights dwindle, how beautiful! If we don’t watch it now, we’ll miss the chance!"

Mo Heng stood still, "Kiss me, and I’ll go."

"If you don’t go, I’ll go by myself!" Now she was acting haughty. Kissing every day, doesn’t he get tired of it!

Mo Heng silently stared at her.

Pei Qin gave in to him, came over, and hugged him to give a kiss. What a hassle to kiss, when standing she had to tiptoe, so she pulled him down. What’s the use of having such long legs for nothing!

Once she leaned in for a kiss, Mo Heng wrapped his long arms around her and held her tight.

Feng Wei and Zhang Gengshan, who had been waiting in the courtyard to leave, had already made themselves scarce.

Seeing that he wouldn’t stop kissing her, Pei Qin began to glare.

Mo Heng deepened the kiss until she was breathless, her body went limp, and she leaned against him to catch her breath. He then scooped her up in his arms and carried her into the house to continue.

"Mmph... Mo... you jerk..."

Having dodged inside the house for a while, Zhang Gengshan couldn’t resist poking his head out and quietly asked, "When should we prepare the hot water?" It better not be like last time when expecting the young master, where he had heated the water for nothing, and it wasn’t used until the following day, right? The lady of the house is pregnant!

Mo Heng knew to restrain himself, but to taste, he still had to have it in his mouth.
