My Dragon Baby and Billionaire Husband

Chapter 453 Parent-Child Daily Life, The Cub Is Just So Cute 2

Lu Jinyi, completely unaware that his usefulness to Little Xiangru was diminishing, belched contently after a satisfying meal. Mo Yinhe then had Fengjue escort him back to the Lu estate.

Once Lu Jinyi had left, Little Xiangru excitedly hugged Si Mingjing’s arm. "Mommy? Mommy? Can this fishy sleep with Daddy and Mommy tonight?"

"Do you want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy?"

Little Xiangru nodded vigorously, saying in a clear, bright voice, "I really, really want to! Super-duper want to! I want to sleep with Mommy and Daddy—Mommy on the right, Daddy on the left. This fishy has never slept with Mommy and Daddy before. I don’t even know what it feels like."

Si Mingjing felt a pang of sympathy for Little Xiangru and reached out to rub his dejected little head. "Alright. Let your Daddy take you for a bath first."

"I want to bathe with Mommy and Daddy together!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Yinhe laughed, a laugh filled with hidden meaning.

Si Mingjing also smiled, her cheeks blushing slightly. Usually, when she and Mo Yinhe took baths together, things would often heat up, sparking moments of intimacy. Clearly, that wouldn’t happen tonight with their son joining them. Yet, the memories of their past baths together made her heart flutter.

Mo Yinhe said, "I’ll go run the hot water and call you when it’s ready."

Si Mingjing nodded.

On the way back from the Dragon King Temple that afternoon, she had bought several sets of children’s clothes. As soon as they got home, she tossed them into the washing machine.

The washer-dryer combo was very convenient. Si Mingjing took out the children’s clothes, now warm, fragrant, and soft to the touch. She set aside the pajamas and put the other small clothes in the dressing room. Once finished, Si Mingjing took Little Xiangru into the bathroom.

Mo Yinhe had already drawn the bath and was lounging in the tub, leisurely enjoying the massage jets in quiet contentment.

Si Mingjing wasn’t comfortable stripping down completely in front of her son. She took a small stool, sat on the edge of the tub, undressed the child, lifted him in, and had Little Xiangru sit with Mo Yinhe.

Little Xiangru loved bubble baths. He covered his body with milky white suds and frolicked to his heart’s content. He energetically scrubbed himself with a small washcloth, humming a cheerful tune, looking utterly adorable.

Si Mingjing squeezed out some shampoo and began to wash the child’s hair. "Xiangru," she asked, "can you only be a cute baby for seven days?"

"Mommy, this fishy will always be super cute~"

Si Mingjing chuckled and corrected herself, "Yes, my Little Xiangru, you’re always cute. Will you turn back into Little Liyu after seven days?"

"Mommy, as long as I do more good deeds, this fishy can become a cute human baby again."

"Good, Mommy understands."

After Si Mingjing finished washing Little Xiangru’s hair, her phone rang. She handed the child to Mo Yinhe and answered the call, reminding him, "Help our son with his back, but be gentle. Children’s skin is delicate; it can’t take your rough touch."

Mo Yinhe took Little Xiangru into his arms and asked, "Who’s calling?"

"Xiaobai."

Xiaobai, having heard from Ye Shen that he had a new little brother, couldn’t wait to call. As soon as the video call connected, he craned his neck, asking, "Jingjing! Where’s my little brother? Is it really that Little Liyu? Why is my brother a little carp instead of a little dragon cub?"

"Big Brother!" Little Xiangru waved at the camera, super excited.

Little Xiangru deeply appreciated any kindness shown to him. When Xiaobai had chased away a scary cat for him, Little Xiangru had decided Xiaobai was a good big brother.

Through the video, Ye Nianbai saw a bare little fellow brightly calling him ’Big Brother’. Xiaobai was thrilled and responded warmly, "Little brother! From now on, I’ve got your back!"

Little Pangza never calls me Big Brother, Xiaobai thought. Little Pangza is not a good little brother!

Little Liangliang and Yun Xiaosu also peeked into the video, curiously looking around. "Where? Where? Is our little brother here?"

"Little sisters, I’m here!" Little Xiangru called out.

Little Xiangru didn’t want older sisters; he wanted them to be his younger sisters, so he didn’t call them ’Big Sis’. Boys should protect girls. In the future, this fishy will protect both his little sisters!

Little Liangliang was not pleased and asked Si Mingjing, "Mom, who’s older and who’s younger?"

"Uh..." This question stumped Si Mingjing.

She passed the tough question to Mo Yinhe. "Ask your dad."

Yun Xiaosu asked in her soft, child-like voice, "Daddy, am I older?"

Mo Yinhe’s brows furrowed. He was truly unable to answer this, so he simply decided to rank the children according to the order in which they had been found.

However, Mo Yinhe also felt that girls should be younger sisters, doted on by their older brothers, so he placed the boys first.

Mo Yinhe declared, "Xiaobai is the eldest brother, Shurong is the second brother, Xiangru is the third brother, Liangliang is fourth, and Xiaosu is fifth."

Yun Xiaosu wailed, "WAAAH!" She wept as if her heart would break. "I don’t want to be number five! BOO HOO... BOO HOO..."

Si Mingjing glared at Mo Yinhe. "You’re bullying our daughter."

What’s so good about being an older sister? Mo Yinhe thought. He couldn’t understand. He believed his daughters should be cherished by their older brothers as they grew up. Older sisters, on the other hand, were expected to be sensible and look after their younger siblings, which he didn’t think was good.

So, even though Yun Xiaosu’s crying was breaking his heart, Mo Yinhe didn’t budge. Once he had set the order, he would not change it.

Si Mingjing comforted Yun Xiaosu, "Don’t cry, Xiaosu. Maybe you’ll have more younger brothers and sisters in the future."

"Really?" Yun Xiaosu’s crying stopped abruptly.

I don’t know, Si Mingjing thought.

But to pacify her daughter, Si Mingjing spoke with certainty, "It’s true. There are more younger brothers and sisters we haven’t found yet. When Daddy and Mommy find them, you can be a big sister."

"Yay!" Yun Xiaosu wiped away her tears and jumped up excitedly. "I can be a big sister too!"

Having soothed Yun Xiaosu, Si Mingjing hastily hung up the phone, afraid Xiaosu might come to her senses and ask where this promised younger brother was.

If Xiaosu really did ask, she wouldn’t be able to conjure up another son.

After Mo Yinhe finished his bath, he grabbed a towel, wrapped up their son, and carried him out. Before leaving, he told Si Mingjing, "Stop busying yourself; go take your bath."

Mo Yinhe also couldn’t accept their son seeing Mingjing bathe, even his own son. That was why he took the child and left after they finished bathing.

Before Si Mingjing closed the door, she handed him the hairdryer from the washstand. "Dry the child’s hair."

"Mm." Mo Yinhe took the hairdryer and closed the bathroom door for her.

By the time Si Mingjing had finished her bath and washed her hair, Mo Yinhe was already in bed with their son, watching cartoons.

Si Mingjing was dabbing her hair with a dry towel when Mo Yinhe got off the bed. He gently guided her to sit on the sofa, then turned on the hairdryer and began to dry her hair for her.

The man’s dry hands gathered her hair, drying it strand by strand. The warm air on her scalp felt very comfortable, and Si Mingjing cherished the moment.

She lazily closed her eyes and said, "You’re going to spoil me. Soon I won’t want to dry my own hair anymore."

Mo Yinhe looked down at her. "Then don’t. It’s not like you’re lacking a husband."
