Chapter 955: Extra Chapter 1: Big Decision
After Mu Xichen picked up the baby, Li Beinian realized that her eldest son was awake.
The Little Sunshine’s mouth was wide open and he was waving his arms and legs in the air. He looked at Mu Xichen and suddenly smiled.
While Li Beinian was coaxing Little Panda, she turned to look at Little Sunshine. Smitten, she couldn’t help but lean closer. Oozing with love, she clicked her tongue, making noises to tease him. “Happy Little Sunshine, come, give Mommy a smile too.”
Little Sun seemed to understand and grinned happily. He kicked even harder and waved his hands about happily.
“Ahhh, our baby is so smart. It’s only been a month and he’s already smiling!”
Mu Xichen turned around in surprise and said, “Isn’t it normal for babies to smile?”
“Of course not.” Li Beinian smiled with satisfaction and pride. “What do newborns know? They don’t know about emotions, so they have to be nurtured from a young age.”
“They don’t understand emotions?” Mu Xichen’s expression was a little strange. “Then why do they cry when they’re born?”
“…Instinct!”
“Oh,” Mu Xichen responded. He turned to look at Little Sunshine in his arms and said, “This kid is very smart. At a young age, he already knows smiling more makes him more likable.”
As though he knew that he had been praised by her father, Little Sunshine’s smile widened, revealing his pink gums. He looked really intelligent.
Li Beinian’s was completely rapt as she looked at the babies and her heart almost melted. She couldn’t help but reach out to hold Little Sunshine’s tiny fist. Unexpectedly, as soon as she did so, she sensed her daughter’s unhappiness.
Sure enough, Little Panda pouted and stopped sucking on the milk. She raised her furry eyebrows and cried threateningly with a flushed face.
Li Beinian lowered her head and quickly let go in fright. The little kid’s tightly knitted brows then relaxed as she shook her fists and looked at her mother.
Mu Xichen laughed. Even the nanny was surprised. She gave a thumbs up and smiled, revealing a mouthful of pearly white teeth, saying, “The little princess is too smart. She’s so young and already knows how to be jealous. She’ll be even smarter in the future!”
As she spoke, she stared at Little Panda and said, “And definitely a beauty when she grows up!”
Li Beinian was overjoyed. Mu Xichen was also smiling broadly, being in a good mood. He looked the baby in his arms. The boy was blowing bubbles. Then his gaze shifted to jealous Number Three, who was trying her best to attract her parents’ attention. Suddenly, as though it struck the man for the first time, he said, “We actually have three children.”
Li Beinian looked at him, her eyes like little crescent moons, and snorted lightly. “Yes, we have triplets! Now do you realize that your wife has worked hard?”
Mu Xichen’s smile deepened. He put his hand on her shoulder and whispered, “I’ve always known that. My wife works three times harder than other pregnant women.”
As he spoke, he gently leaned over and placed their arms together so that the two babies faced each other. Although the children did not look at each other, something seemed to have delighted them as they shook their arms and laughed happily.
Mu Xichen watched the interaction between his two children and whispered into his wife’s ear, “Wifey, I think the three is enough.”
“Of course it’s enough. How many more do you want?” Li Beinian said as she teased the baby in her arms without looking up.
Suddenly, she heard the man’s quiet voice remarking, “I’ll go for a vasectomy then.”
