The reason Huo Shiwu asked Xiao Jingqi is because in his understanding, children come from mothers’ (women’s) bellies.

But how do little babies get into mothers’ (women’s) bellies, he’s not very clear about.

"Ahem." Facing Huo Shiwu’s inquisitive little eyes, Xiao Jingqi awkwardly coughed and said, "This... little babies, they, they..."

Seeing his big aunt hesitate, Huo Shiwu’s eyes filled with even more confusion, "Big Aunt, don’t you know where babies come from?"

"If you don’t know, then how do babies get into your belly?" Huo Shiwu furrowed his small brows, looking quite concerned, "Shiwu originally wanted to help Big Uncle quickly find a baby to put in Big Aunt’s belly."

"This..." Xiao Jingqi’s face turned red with embarrassment.

She really didn’t know how to answer.

And seeing his wife in distress, Ou Jun awkwardly coughed, thinking: Isn’t this age-old question something the nephew should ask his own parents?

"Shiwu, little babies... little babies are picked up by mothers from the garbage heap." Ou Jun, to resolve the awkwardness, told a white lie, choosing among many "classic answers" he knew to fool his nephew.

"Picked up from the garbage heap?" Hearing this answer, Huo Shiwu’s eyes widened, "Was Shiwu also picked up from there?"

Ou Jun: "...Um."

He felt sorry for his sister and brother-in-law, but he could only say that.

Hearing this answer, Huo Shiwu’s eyebrows furrowed tightly into a flower.

Turns out, are all babies so dirty?

No wonder his mom always makes him bathe and constantly calls him a smelly little rascal.

At this moment, Huo Shiwu suddenly felt he had misunderstood his mom before.

Seeing his little nephew falling into thought, Ou Jun immediately said, "Alright, Shiwu’s question is done, let’s go out."

Saying this, without waiting for his little nephew to respond, he carried the child outside.

Once outside, Ou Jun hurriedly handed his little nephew to Huo Shiqian, saying, "You haven’t seen Shiwu all day, hurry and take him back." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Hearing this, Xia Chuyi raised her eyebrows.

Oh wow, her brother normally loves Shiwu so much, why is he urging them to take Shiwu back today?

"Brother, what did Shiwu say to you?" Xia Chuyi couldn’t resist, curiously asking Ou Jun.

"Ahem." Ou Jun lightly coughed and said, "It’s nothing, just children’s questions."

However, Mrs. Ou, having spent the day with the child, seeing her son’s reaction, guessed that her darling grandson was trying to push her son to have a grandson.

Therefore, Mrs. Ou smiled gently and said to her daughter, "You said Shiwu is close to his uncle, what’s wrong with sharing little secrets? Are you, as a mom, feeling jealous? Alright, you all hurry up and take Shiwu back."

Xia Chuyi: ...

So, speaking of her position dropping, did her son’s position suddenly drop as well?

Not knowing the details and unable to get an answer.

Xia Chuyi could only shrug and say, "Alright then, Mom, Brother, Jingqi, we’re heading back."

Once back at Bao Mansion, Xia Chuyi hugged her son and, smiling, coaxed him, "Shi Wu, tell Mom, what did you talk about with your Big Uncle today?"
