Bringing the Little Crown Prince on a Parenting Reality Show — I'm Cleared of All Scandals!-Chapter 33 - 32: I Was Waiting for You

Xiao Yu’an’s pupils shook again.

Mu Ran immediately stood up, raised her hand in surrender, "I swear on my own character, I really didn’t mean to kiss you this time; it was an accident, purely accidental, you know it was an accident, right?"

She had just thought about it for a moment but hadn’t planned on doing it.

This was the heavens making her do it, you can’t blame it on her bad character.

Xiao Yu’an stood up from the lawn, his expression indescribable.

Mu Ran covered her face, "Don’t look at me like that, I would still feel shy, okay!"

Xiao Yu’an: "I can’t see it."

"Then forget it, my fault, it was me who asked you to help me. Anyway, I already kissed you, so what now?" Mu Ran decided to just let it go.

She felt a bit regretful; last time when she kissed him, she at least experienced some feeling.

This time, they barely touched before she pulled away; she didn’t even get a proper kiss. Such a loss!

Xiao Yu’an, seeing her with arms crossed and an assertive stance, felt amused, "You can treat me to dinner."

"Deal, but I’m going abroad tomorrow and then have to shoot a variety show in a while, so why not wait until I finish shooting and meet you, around mid-August, okay?" Mu Ran suggested.

Xiao Yu’an nodded, "Okay."

"Then you can tell me what you want to eat on WeChat. Rest assured, whatever feast you want, I’ll treat you, alright!" Mu Ran looked as if she was buying dinner because of her guilty pleasure.

It made Xiao Yu’an feel like he was her little lover.

"It’s getting late, let’s go back."

Bang, bang, bang—

Fireworks exploded in the sky, and Mu Ran raised an eyebrow, "Could this be your grandpa again? That guy just loves fireworks, heard he sets them off at every party."

"Grandpa thinks fireworks are festive."

"Makes sense."

Mu Ran glanced at the wine glass and bag she’d set aside on the ground and took out her phone to film.

She wanted to send it to Xiao Jin.

Xiao Yu’an also took out his phone, silently stepped back two steps, hoping to capture her appearance today.

She looked really good in a dress.

Chilly, gorgeous, regal like a queen.

Xiao Yu’an wanted to capture Mu Ran, but his operation was clumsy, and the lens focused on the bright fireworks, with the real protagonist blurred into the background.

He didn’t dare snap more.

Because Mu Ran turned and walked away.

Xiao Yu’an asked her, "You don’t like fireworks?"

"They’re okay." Mu Ran looked at the fireworks, but only for a while; she felt that this kind of beauty, an appreciation once was enough.

Too long would be noisy and lose its initial awe.

She shared this thought with Yang Yingying, who ridiculed her for not understanding romance.

The party ended at 2 AM; Mu Ran and Mu Dixin returned to the old house, where Feng Qikuo was waiting, and said to Mu Ran, "Xiao Jin has fallen asleep. I think what you said this morning was really right; he’s too well-behaved to be of referential value."

"Right!" Mu Ran proudly tilted her chin.

Feng Qikuo smiled and rubbed her hair, "So cute."

Mu Ran: "You’re nuts!"

The only one in the world who thinks she’s cute is her sister-in-law.

Leading her to often suspect her sister-in-law isn’t normal, to find her brother great and think she’s cute.

Feng Qikuo was used to her teasing, very naturally changed the topic, "Your room is the same as always, Uncle Liu has people clean it every day, go sleep first. I heard you’re going abroad tomorrow, don’t tire yourself out."

"Okay!" Mu Ran went upstairs to sleep.

After Mu Ran disappeared from sight, Mu Dixin hugged his wife tightly and lamented, "You have no idea how miserably she bullied me today; she’s become bizarrely proficient at insulting, I really don’t want this sister anymore, want to throw her out."

"Throw her, I support you."

"No, you don’t, do you know what she said about you today? She said she wanted to introduce you to lots of handsome guys; aren’t I handsome?" Mu Dixin leaned in for a kiss.

Feng Qikuo smiled and leaned back, "Okay, okay, you’re the handsomest; I won’t meet those handsome guys, alright?"

"Are you sad about it?"

"No, no, I have a big treasure at home, why would I meet others, right?" Feng Qikuo smiled and gave him a kiss, "Okay, okay, don’t be annoyed; you know Xiao Ran is like this, the angrier you get, the happier she is."

"I think so too, but I can’t control myself!" Mu Dixin sighed slightly, and asked her, "How was taking care of the child today?"

"The child is too well-behaved, truly of no referential value. I originally thought if we had a kid, we could take turns bringing the child to work with us, since we’re bosses and don’t have to worry about others’ strange looks, but Xiao Jin can’t be a reference; he’s too, too, too well-behaved, today it wasn’t me taking care of him, but he taking care of me.

I think it would be better to compare based on how we were as kids; you know, I was very well-behaved as a kid, how about you?"

"When I was a kid... I was definitely well-behaved too!" Mu Dixin glossed over his childhood of being constantly disciplined.

"Stop it." Feng Qikuo rolled her eyes at him, "I better think it over."

The two had no real pressure to have children because their parents weren’t urging them; Mu Dixin had no parents, Feng Qikuo had cut ties with hers.

Some people in society say random things, since they’ve been married eight years without kids and communicate little, some think their marriage is more like a formal arrangement without any affection.

Feng Qikuo and Mu Dixin couldn’t be bothered to prove them wrong.

Moreover, both weren’t good at public displays of affection; they couldn’t even hold hands in public, really feudal in terms of relationships.

Choose one person, love them for life.

This was their love.

Feng Qikuo felt her emotional state was very good, so she wanted a child, to give the child the love she never had as a child.

She wanted the child to know they have parents who love them and a solid backing.

But Feng Qikuo was afraid of not being able to take care of a child, and her husband was too.

He was confident in everything else.

Except when it came to raising children, he felt he was the most unsuccessful person in the world.

For these reasons, Feng Qikuo was hesitant about having a child, yet she yearned for one, creating a strong internal conflict.

Mu Dixin also felt torn.

That was a life, he didn’t want to sweet-talk Feng Qikuo into having a child, as that would be irresponsible to the three of them.

The impact of childbirth was too significant on her; Mu Dixin was afraid Feng Qikuo couldn’t handle it, she’s already over thirty, at one point that would count as a late-age pregnancy.

He was scared.

Mu Dixin held her hand as they went upstairs, "Forget it, let’s not think about so much, let’s go to sleep first. You still have work tomorrow, why wait downstairs for Mu Ran, what’s so good about that troublemaker!"

"I’ve been waiting for you~"

"I... I’m not more important than your health."
