Chapter 164 The Child Is Suffering (2 More)
Mu Xiao turned on the night light in the bedroom, adjusted it to the dimmest light, filled a thermos cup with water and placed it by the bedside, and walked out lightly.
There are fresh bamboo stalks in the kitchen. They were picked on the mountain in the early morning and transported by air, and they just arrived in City B in the afternoon.
The housekeeper has already taken the bamboo fungus out of the foam box, cleaned it up and put it in a fresh-keeping box. Mu Xiao picked out a few, cut them into pieces and put them aside.
He took another piece of lean meat, shredded it, marinated it with some condiments, washed the rice and put it in the pot.
While the porridge was cooking on a small fire, Mu Xiao began to cut ginger again. With his skill, he could easily wield a knife or a gun, but now he wanted to use his knife skill to cut ginger.
Overkill.
Compared to Mu Xiao's height, the cooking table was too low, so he had to bend down to cut vegetables.
This posture is very tiring, but the man who is working is not tired at all, and there is still a slight smile on his lips.
It is a kind of enjoyment to wash hands and make soup for a loved one.
Several stoves were firing at the same time, and the range hood above was also working. Mu Xiao thought for a while, and found Chixiaodou from the locker to soak in water.
Tomorrow morning, I can cook red bean paste for Yan Mo, to enrich the blood, and at the same time use sweets to soothe the sick little thing.
After more than an hour, the porridge with bamboo fungus and lean meat was ready, and the ginger syrup also tasted good.
Mu Xiao found cold and fever medicine from the home medicine box, and went upstairs with a tray.
Yan Mo didn't sleep well, her face and neck were covered with sweat, her head was still shaking from side to side from time to time, and she was frowning tightly.
After putting away the things, Mu Xiao turned on the night light, leaned over and patted Yan Mo's shoulder.
"Baby? Baby? Wake up, eat something before going to sleep, it's not good to be hungry."
"Hmm...I'm so sleepy...help me eat!" Yan Mo turned over, slipped into his arms, and continued to play coquettishly.
Mu Xiao wrapped her in a quilt, picked her up and put the quilt on her lap.
"Then you go on sleeping and I'll feed you."
After scooping up a spoonful of porridge, Mu Xiao blew it and brought it to Yan Mo's lips. The fragrant and glutinous porridge, with its soft taste, melts in the mouth.
Xu Shi was really hungry, Yan Mo swallowed the porridge obediently.
She slowly opened her eyes and said softly, "What kind of porridge is this?"
Mu Xiao helped Yan Mo to sit up, let her lean on his body, and continued to feed her.
"Bamboo fungus lean meat porridge, do you like it?"
"Well, it's delicious."
Yan Mo's hands were put under the quilt and tightly wrapped by Mu Xiao, so she simply didn't bother to pull out her hands and let him feed them.
After eating a bowl of hot porridge and sweating again, Yan Mo's head finally didn't hurt so much.
"I don't want to drink it anymore." After drinking the porridge, Yan Mo pushed the bowl of ginger soup away.
Mu Xiao put the ginger soup back on the bedside table, put his arms around the little thing and coaxed him patiently: "Drink it and sweat again, and you'll be fine when you wake up tomorrow, good boy."
"Then I'll have another bowl of porridge instead of ginger soup, okay?"
Yan Mo doesn't like the spicy taste that will flow from the tip of the tongue to the throat and then spread to the stomach.
When asking her to do something she doesn't like, Yan Mo always negotiates terms with Mu Xiao, as long as she is not forced, even if she is not hesitant to cede land and pay compensation.
Mu Xiao has long been familiar with her behavior.
"I'll make pan-fried sea bass for you again, can you drink ginger soup after you finish eating?" Young Master Xiao's condition is also very tempting.
Delicacy and ginger soup are like being put on the same scale, ups and downs, Yan Mo is almost entangled to death.
Her vivid expression fell into Mu Xiao's eyes, and she couldn't help laughing.
For a foodie, getting sick is undoubtedly bad news, because the appetite will become poor, and everything you eat will feel tasteless.
Mu Xiao specifically mentioned a fish that Yan Mo likes, how could Yan Mo not be tempted?
So the two happily reached a consensus, one fish, plus a bowl of ginger soup.
In the end, Yan Mo naturally couldn't fall asleep, and insisted on pestering Mu Xiao to tell her bedtime stories.
"Well... just tell me about Little Red Riding Hood!" The little woman lying on the bed full of food began to "find fault".
Mu Xiao let her toss and turn in his arms, but he said dotingly, "Baby, it's time for you to sleep."
Yan Mo turned over and lay on his chest, wrinkling her nose: "Partial! You are partial!!"
"Why am I biased? Feel it, my heart is here, isn't it? It's beating quite vigorously, isn't it?"
"You're partial! You told stories to Yan Bao'er that day, but now you don't want to tell them to me! Is it because I move back here that you don't mind? Then I'll just go."
"Say it again?" Mu Xiao narrowed his eyes slightly, and his voice carried a hint of threat.
Yan Mo snorted softly, turned around and left his back to him: "In the first place, I feel that you don't love me anymore."
These words were too heart-wrenching, Mu Xiao really couldn't listen.
He hugged Yan Mo from behind: "It doesn't matter how willful or unreasonable you are, but never doubt my feelings for you, don't make fun of me with this."
"Then tell me a story." Yan Mo turned over with a smug smile on her face.
Mu Xiao had nothing to do with her, so he pinched the tip of her nose and said, "Okay, let me tell you, stop making trouble!"
The man's deep voice was particularly pleasant in the silence of the night, like the strings of a cello, magnetic and charming.
Just as she was getting into the mood, Yan Mo raised her head mischievously, and pecked lightly on Mu Xiao's chin.
Originally, Mu Xiao was not very familiar with the story of this kind of little girl. He was concentrating on talking, and suddenly he was kissed.
With the one he loves in his arms, what man wouldn't be distracted?
Mu Xiao simply turned over and lay on Yan Mo's body. Of course, he also supported his body with his arms so as not to crush her.
"Baby, if you don't want to sleep, maybe we can do something else to help you sweat?"
His eyes were too hot, the flames in his eyes were too obvious, and his words were still ambiguous.
Although Yan Mo was still dizzy, she understood.
She pulled the neckline of her pajamas and blinked innocently: "But what should I do? It's not convenient for people these days!"
When she said this, Yan Mo poked Mu Xiao's chest several times with her fingers maliciously.
The two are lying on the same bed so intimately, and they are each other's sweethearts, how could they not feel it?
Mu Xiao grabbed Yan Mo's hand and bit her fingertips: "Fairy! If you tease me again, I'll run a red light!"
Yan Mo didn't expect such a serious and black-bellied man to say such a thing.
She pulled up the quilt, revealing only a pair of clear eyes, and asked with a blushing face, "Do you really want to be such a beast?"
"Hahaha! Little fool! I'm not willing to part with you." Mu Xiao laughed and hugged Yan Mo tightly.
How hurtful is that, how can I be willing to let you suffer?
Seeing that Yan Mo didn't feel sleepy, Mu Xiao chatted with her: "Today Zhengjun called me and wanted me to introduce him to a reliable lawyer."
"Brother is going to sue? Has something happened to the company?" Yan Mo immediately sat up.
Seeing that half of her body was exposed outside the quilt, Mu Xiao hurriedly pulled her back and lay down again: "If you have something to say, talk about it, don't catch a cold."
Mu Xiao wrapped Yan Mo tightly with a quilt, making sure that nothing but her face was exposed before continuing.
"He wants a divorce."
When he said this, Mu Xiao had already expected Yan Mo's reaction would be more violent, so he held her body down early.
But Yan Mo was surprisingly calm, she even just sighed.
"The problem between the two of them is no longer a day or two. Maybe the relationship has been worn away in quarrels and conflicts!"
Although Yan Mo hadn't lived at home for a long time, occasionally when she went back, she would hear Yan Zhengjun and Liu Danni arguing.
It's not a big thing, it's just a trivial matter in life, but it can often become a fuse.
At first, the two just shut themselves in the room, arguing in a low voice, avoiding Father Yan and the child.
Later, as the relationship faded and the conflict deepened, Yan Zhengjun and Liu Danni had no scruples.
Not to mention Father Yan and the aunts at home, even Yan Mo, who only came home occasionally, has seen it with his own eyes several times.
Liu Danni's nonsense and unreasonable troubles are enough to drive everyone crazy.
When she first married into Yan's family, Yan Mo also witnessed their happiness. Wasn't it like sweet honey at that time?
Has time worn away their mutual affection?
The people who were originally in love have become what they are now, and they are even like enemies when they meet, and they are not tired of tearing up every day.
Strictly speaking, the conditions of the Yan family can only be regarded as a well-off family in a first-tier big city like City B, not a wealthy family.
But to Liu Danni, they are considered rich.
She had high hopes for her marriage, and after coming to City B, she met more local tyrants and wealthy people, and Liu Danni's values began to distort.
She began to make more and more demands on Yan Zhengjun, asking for more money each time.
What made Yan Zhengjun intolerable the most was that she didn't even care about Haohao anymore.
Is there any mother in the world who doesn't miss her son?
Liu Danni is fine, as long as she has money and doesn't want to go home after work, she will invite those cronies to have fun outside.
They are all mothers, and they still go to nightclubs in exaggerated and revealing clothes, and come back drunk every now and then.
Yan Zhengjun said Liu Danni countless times, and she even mocked Yan Zhengjun for being too dull in character, so he couldn't enjoy himself in the mall.
He also said that his way of life is just getting to know more people through different channels.
"After all, am I still planning for you? I worked so hard to pave the way for my husband, and you don't appreciate it, but you still complain about me? Do you think I'm willing to drink so much?"
In this case, Yan Zhengjun just wanted to laugh.
The woman who kept saying that she would help him and support him, since she got married, it's fine if she hasn't done a single favor, and she keeps causing him all kinds of troubles.
Haohao is now over two years old, and the time Liu Danni spends with her son will not exceed two months in total.
Is this the attitude a mother should have? ?
In the hospital a few days ago, Liu Danni contradicted Father Yan again, calling Yan Mo and Han Han worthless.
This had already stepped on Yan Zhengjun's bottom line, and he couldn't bear it anymore.
Maybe divorce is a relief for both of them, otherwise, a family where parents are noisy all day long is not beneficial to the growth of children.
Yan Mo sighed again when she thought of the bad things in her brother's house.
"I haven't chatted with my brother for a long time. Unlike before, I didn't talk about everything. I told him as soon as possible. I believe that my decision to divorce is deliberate. It's just that It’s hard for Haohao. He’s only so young, and he’s about to grow up in a single-parent family.”
