Chapter 559: Care Leads to Confusion
The photos were sent out, and after a few days of turbulence, they finally reached the hands of the two old gentlemen.
They couldn’t put the photos down. The little guy was simply too adorable; they wished they could return home immediately to hold and play with him.
"I wonder if Doudou has forgotten about me." Professor Jian sat slumped on the sofa with the photo in hand, thinking of Doudou, he lacked the enthusiasm for teaching. It had only been a little over a week, but he already missed the little guy so much.
"He probably forgot about us." Professor Song was also feeling downhearted.
"If only we had sorted out the transfer orders last semester, we could be playing with Doudou by now." Professor Jian sighed dismally.
"True, why didn’t we think about it back then?" The two sighed deeply together.
Xu Mumu also sent a photo of Doudou to Yu Xinyao, who immediately put it away carefully.
Seeing her like this, Xu Mumu couldn’t help but laugh.
"Is it really necessary?"
"It is! You don’t know how much my mom wants a grandson. If she sees this, she’ll definitely start urging me to get married soon." Yu Xinyao said helplessly. Although marriage was still in the plans, they would have to wait until Huo Qingze was less busy.
Nowadays, Huo Qingze was so busy that even going to a movie required squeezing in time, which made her frustrated. She wondered why he was throwing himself into so many ventures. Is he unable to sit still?
No matter how much Yu Xinyao complained about Huo Qingze, their relationship was progressing steadily without any issues so far. Marriage was just a matter of time.
"Then you should get married soon. It’s not like Huo Qingze can’t find the time." Xu Mumu looked at Yu Xinyao. They had been dating for a few months, and both families were satisfied, so why weren’t they getting married? They weren’t that young either.
"But I don’t want to rush it, and I still feel there’s a bit of a connection missing with Brother Qingze, so I’m not in a hurry to get married." Yu Xinyao shared her thoughts with Xu Mumu.
Xu Mumu raised an eyebrow slightly. She had had similar feelings before, otherwise she wouldn’t have taken so long to discuss marriage with Yin Yang after dating him for a long time.
Yin Yang’s behavior after marriage at least proved she hadn’t chosen wrong.
"You just have to think it through; it’s a lifetime commitment after all." Xu Mumu said seriously, though she believed Huo Qingze was quite trustworthy.
"Yes, I think so too. It’s better to be more careful." Yu Xinyao said with a smile. She was tired of being urged to marry at home, so as soon as the holidays began, she came to Xu Mumu’s place.
In fact, she had wanted to visit Huo Qingze, but he was busy, and she didn’t want to disturb him.
After spending an afternoon at Xu Mumu’s, with little Doudou around to cheer her up, her gloominess dissipated quickly. Just when she was about to leave, Huo Qingze came to pick her up.
"Are you dumb? Quickly go, you don’t get much time alone; the chance for privacy is here." Xu Mumu directly pushed Yu Xinyao out.
At Xu Mumu’s teasing, Yu Xinyao blushed profusely, almost bleeding, with so many people around. Xu Mumu’s teasing was quite bold.
Regardless, she left with Huo Qingze, feeling pleasantly surprised that he came to pick her up.
After they left, Yin Yang soon returned home. Hearing that his wife had sent a photo of their son to someone else left him a bit miffed.
"Enough, don’t be upset. We have many photos at home, and we still have the camera. We can have as many photos as we want." Xu Mumu laughed, comforting Yin Yang.
"You’re right." What else could Yin Yang do? He couldn’t throw a fit over such a small matter with his wife.
"Let’s go, Madam Chun has already prepared dinner." Xu Mumu said with a smile, carrying her son ahead.
The little guy, though pampered by the whole family, still preferred his mom the most and loved being held by Xu Mumu.
During dinner, with the little guy in Xu Mumu’s arms, he tried to reach out for the food on the table. His eager, curious expression made Xu Mumu laugh.
"You can’t eat yet. Wait until you grow up." Xu Mumu said with a laugh.
Unfortunately, the little guy didn’t understand what his mom was saying and continued to babble, trying to grab.
The house had plenty of toys, but since he was still so young, the only things Xu Mumu felt safe leaving with him were stuffed animals. The little guy loved grabbing things.
"Wifey, you’re always revolving around Doudou these days and ignoring me." Watching Xu Mumu so sweetly talking to the little guy made Yin Yang a bit jealous.
"You’re such an adult, and yet you’re jealous, aren’t you ashamed?" Xu Mumu glared at him. How could he be jealous of a child, who is their own son, no less?
"But you are neglecting me. You used to always pay attention to me first." Yin Yang also moved closer, still wishing for more of his wife’s attention.
"Alright, my bad. I’ll pay more attention to you from now on." Xu Mumu reflected for a moment. Since the baby was born, her focus had indeed been on the child, though Yin Yang had been incredibly attentive to both her and the baby.
"That’s better." Yin Yang laughed.
After this incident, Xu Mumu began paying more attention to Yin Yang. Marriage isn’t about one person giving all the time; otherwise, Yin Yang might grow tired of her eventually, even if he always liked her. Constantly giving would exhaust him.
Their relationship only grew stronger, and the kids’ physics competition was finally over, with only Xu Jiaojiao qualifying to compete in the Imperial City.
This time, Xu Jiaojiao had to go alone, and Xu Mumu was a little uneasy, even though there would be teachers leading the group.
But Xu Jiaojiao wasn’t scared at all; she was quite excited instead. She was lucky this time, and hadn’t expected to be chosen.
"Big sis, I’ve been to the Imperial City several times already; there won’t be any trouble. Plus, our teacher is going along too." Xu Jiaojiao said nonchalantly.
"But still, it’s quite far to the Imperial City. How about I call your dad and ask him to accompany you?" Xu Mumu asked.
"No need, Dad is busy, and when we get to the Imperial City, we’ll go see Sir Song and stay in the house where big sis used to live." Xu Jiaojiao immediately said. Their younger brother needed care, and the family orchard required attention too.
"Nothing will happen on the train. Once we reach the Imperial City, your grandparents will be there, and I’ve left someone in the city. Don’t worry, it’ll be fine." Yin Yang reassured Xu Mumu.
"Big sis, brother-in-law is right. I’ll return safe and sound, no issues at all." Xu Jiaojiao said sweetly, holding Xu Mumu’s hand.
Yin Yang’s words provided a lot of comfort for Xu Mumu, reminding her that her worries were mostly unnecessary.
