Chapter 204 You Just Need to Be Yourself
Su Yanli excitedly hugged Yunzhi and kissed him passionately, but Yunzhi straightened his body and leaned back, waiting for Li Moer to hand him the chopsticks.
He kept making "ah ah" sounds, and Su Yanli didn't understand, so he quickly asked Yunzhi.
"what happened?"
Li Mo'er gave an awkward smile and quickly hid the chopsticks behind her back, afraid that Su Yanli would discover something amiss.
Yunzhi watched as Li Mo'er put the chopsticks back, then huffed at her, indicating that he was very angry.
Su Yanli looked at Li Mo'er with suspicion. Li Mo'er was afraid that he would continue to question her, so she said, "Yunzhi is probably tired. You should rest tonight, and I will sleep with him."
How could Su Yanli possibly let Yunzhi and Li Mo'er sleep together? Normally it would be fine, but this time Yunzhi called him "father," and he was very excited.
"I'll take him with me."
Li Mo'er was also worried about Yunzhi, fearing that he might "let slip" something.
Finally, the three of them lay on one bed, with Yunzhi obediently lying in the middle.
Yunzhi was still angry, fuming as he turned his back to Li Mo'er, unwilling to face her.
However, Li Mo'er was afraid that the two of them would whisper to each other, so every time Yunzhi turned around, Li Mo'er would turn him back.
Yunzhi was so angry that her face puffed up and her eyes widened.
Su Yanli asked, "Was it just joking around with Yunzhi?"
Yunzhi lost because she couldn't speak; she could only silently endure it, and eventually fell asleep from anger.
As Yunzhi's soft breathing came through, Su Yanli asked in a low voice.
"Mo'er, the day after tomorrow is Yunzhi's first birthday party, we..."
Li Mo'er could not forget that she was extremely curious about Yunzhi's first birthday celebration.
"Don't worry, it's all arranged."
Li Mo'er answered softly, both of them being careful not to wake Yunzhi.
That night, Chu Xiaohuan lay quietly in bed, his mind still replaying Li Mo'er's words.
He didn't really care, since being pregnant out of wedlock had already drawn criticism, but he was concerned about Nian Nian's future.
Wang Cheng just came up to persuade him, wanting him to live with Niannian and Mo'er.
Indeed, having Wang Cheng act as Nian Nian's mother is not a long-term solution, since Wang Cheng will also get married in the future.
If another war breaks out, Niannian will be left alone in the general's mansion.
Chu Xiaohuan considered various scenarios and decided to go to Li Mo'er the next day to apologize to her husbands, saying that his selfishness had led to this outcome.
The next day, Chu Xiaohuan got up early and also coaxed Nian Nian to get up.
And dressed her in the new clothes I had just bought for her a few days ago, Niannian, who was already well-behaved and cute, looked even more exquisite.
Chu Xiaohuan lowered his head and kissed Niannian. If it really didn't work, he would hand Niannian over to Mo'er.
It's better for Niannian to have a group of people taking care of her than to be with him alone, since there will always be times when he can't take care of everything.
Wang Cheng and Chu Xiaohuan led Niannian to the Shen residence, where they saw everyone preparing with laughter and joy.
The servants in the manor already knew Wang Cheng and assumed she was there to help prepare for the young master's first birthday banquet, so they didn't say anything.
Wang Cheng was very familiar with the Shen residence; during the days when Chu Xiaohuan was stationed there, she explored the entire Shen residence.
Wang Cheng led Chu Xiaohuan around, and although the first birthday banquet was in the reception room, Wang Cheng took them to the dining room.
The key point is that Wang Cheng was hungry, and Chu Xiaohuan had gotten up too early today, so he woke her up and brought her over.
They hadn't eaten breakfast, so of course they wanted to come over and freeload.
Chu Xiaohuan didn't ask any questions, but simply followed behind Wang Cheng with Nian Nian in his arms, feeling somewhat uneasy.
Before we even reached the dining hall, we could hear voices coming from inside.
"Mo'er, don't forget to go find General Chu and make sure you explain everything clearly."
Shen Zicen stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and chewed it continuously, but he still didn't forget to remind Li Mo'er.
The others echoed this sentiment.
"Mo'er, General Chu is still a man, no matter what, he must..."
Li Mo'er could only nod repeatedly; she suddenly felt like she was going on a blind date.
Chu Xiaohuan heard what they were saying and understood that they were all doing it for him.
Tears welled up in his eyes instantly. He took a deep breath and prepared to face them.
"Li Mei, I'm here."
Chu Xiaohuan's carefully constructed emotions were shattered by Wang Cheng's words.
Only then did everyone notice Chu Xiaohuan following behind.
Li Mo'er glanced at Wang Cheng. Luckily, they had already eaten, and all the husbands were wearing veils, otherwise they would have been frightened by Wang Cheng.
Although I don't mind, it would be difficult to change their minds, so I choose to respect their wishes.
As soon as Shen Zicen saw Chu Xiaohuan arrive, he pulled Li Mo'er up and shoved her towards him.
"You two go to the study to talk, we'll take care of Niannian for you."
As they spoke, several people quickly surrounded Niannian, scrutinizing her.
"Niannian looks just like Mo'er."
Everyone nodded, and even Yunzhi, who was in Su Yanli's arms, reached out to get closer to Nian Nian.
Wang Cheng looked at the group of people, none of whom paid attention to her, so she asked Shen Qi to prepare some food for him.
No one took care of her, so she made a living on her own.
Chu Xiaohuan lowered his head and followed behind Li Mo'er.
He felt uneasy, not because he was worried about Niannian, but because he was worried about himself.
Upon arriving at the study, the two sat facing each other, and Li Mo'er took the initiative to speak.
I respect all your decisions.
Later, remembering Su Yanli and the others' instructions, he added another sentence.
“They all welcome you and like Nian Nian very much.”
Chu Xiaohuan looked up in shock, not expecting that Li Mo'er knew what he was worried about.
"I've thought about it for a long time. It was my fault back then... so I can bear all the consequences. I'm surprised they can accept me. I thought..."
Li Mo'er understood Chu Xiaohuan's meaning after hearing just these words.
She reached out and took Chu Xiaohuan's hand. "Would you be willing to live with us and bring Niannian with you?"
Chu Xiaohuan lowered his eyes and nodded gently.
Li Mo'er looked at Chu Xiaohuan, who seemed a little uneasy in front of her, and gently released his hand.
She knew that this was definitely not Chu Xiaohuan's true nature; he should be the unrestrained, free-spirited, and passionate Chu Xiaohuan.
Chu Xiaohuan felt the warmth leaving his hand, and his heart sank lower and lower.
"Chu Xiaohuan, here, you only need to be yourself."
Li Mo'er stared at the top of Chu Xiaohuan's head, her tone extremely serious. This was the first time Li Mo'er had solemnly called his name.
If you keep suppressing your grievances, a conflict will inevitably erupt sooner or later.
Tears welled up in Chu Xiaohuan's eyes. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he had been himself. Was it after he met Li Mo'er, or after he had Nian Nian?
Chu Xiaohuan felt a lump in his throat, and tears welled up uncontrollably. He looked up, trying to hold them back.
Li Mo'er smiled gently and handed him the handkerchief.
Chu Xiaohuan took the handkerchief, nodded, and his eyes regained the decisiveness and sharpness that Li Mo'er had shown when she first met him.
Although her gaze softened somewhat, Li Mo'er knew that this was a good change.
