Lin Yu told Qing Mo exactly what happened when Little Darling spoke her first words.
Qing Mo, usually as cold and aloof as an ice flower on a snowy peak, laughed so hard she nearly collapsed after hearing the story.
Lin Yu had never seen Qing Mo laugh so happily.
Lin Yu, who had been nursing a slight headache over his daughter being a little troublemaker, unconsciously felt his mood improve significantly upon seeing Qing Mo so happy.
Seeing the person you like happy.
It always makes you feel a bit happier too.
"What about Su Yuyao then?"
"Did Little Darling make her say 'Call me Mom' too?"
Qing Mo wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes and continued to ask with a smile.
Mentioning this made Lin Yu even more depressed.
He shook his head and replied,
"No."
"The first time she called her mom, she just said 'Mom'."
Hearing this, Qing Mo couldn't hold back and started laughing again, her shoulders shaking.
However, this time she only laughed for a little while before stopping, unlike before when she couldn't seem to stop once she started.
"Why did Little Darling say 'Call me Dad' to you,"
"but directly called Su Yuyao 'Mom'?"
Qing Mo originally had a smile on her lips, asking Lin Yu in a casual, conversational tone.
But suddenly, as if she had remembered something important, she frowned. A hint of seriousness appeared in her delicate features as she lowered her voice and asked,
"When you two usually do that kind of thing, you don't do it in front of the child, do you?"
As a man with four wives, Lin Yu instantly understood what Qing Mo meant.
His eyes widened, and he scolded in exasperation,
"Are you crazy?"
"How could we possibly do that kind of thing without hiding it from the child?"
"We always do it in the guest bedroom, which is several rooms away from the nursery."
Although he said that, Lin Yu still felt a little uneasy in his heart, afraid that the child might have actually overheard something by accident to say something so shocking.
But after recalling things carefully.
Lin Yu felt relieved again.
It was impossible.
Su Yuyao's voice wasn't that loud.
It didn't have much penetrating power.
There was no way Little Darling could hear it across several rooms.
Thinking of this, Lin Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
While he felt relieved, a small part of his heart also died.
Looking at it this way.
Then this child really was a born little terror.
There was no clearing her name now...
"Maybe there's a problem with how we taught her,"
Lin Yu tried to console himself, saying,
"When Su Yuyao taught Little Darling to call people, she just directly taught Little Darling by saying 'Mom, Mom'."
"When I taught her, I always told her 'Call me Dad, call me Dad'. She heard it so much that maybe she just absorbed the whole phrase."
Hearing this, Qing Mo nodded, indicating that this was also a possibility.
In the afternoon.
There weren't many people in the Western restaurant.
Most of the people who came here to eat and check in at this time were delicate young women.
They usually ordered a few delicious desserts, paired with a cup of mildly bitter coffee.
Sitting by the sunny window seats, leisurely enjoying a winter afternoon enveloped in the aroma of coffee.
Lin Yu wasn't as good at enjoying life as they were.
Lin Yu only did one thing when he went to any restaurant.
And that was eat!
Eating frantically as if seeking revenge!
Steak, lobster, cod, crab legs.
He welcomed them all.
Bread?
Get out of here!
There was no room reserved for staple foods in my stomach today!
Hey!
Wait!
Don't go, French fries covered in meat sauce!
You are different from them!
Lin Yu was eating happily on the side.
Qing Mo, on the other hand, looked very preoccupied.
Her eyes were deep, and a clear sense of conflict floated in her gaze.
The sharp silver table knife in her hand at this moment was like a tool used by a cruel official to torture prisoners.
She kept slicing back and forth on the pitiful medium-well steak in front of her, making the meat juices spill out everywhere.
After struggling with herself for a good while, Qing Mo turned her head to look at Lin Yu.
Seeing him eating as happily as a little pig.
The uneasiness in her heart slowly subsided a little.
Thinking about it, it had been over a year since that incident with Su Yuyao.
Lin Yu's mental state had also recovered a lot now.
It felt like...
It was time to talk to him about that matter.
Pursing her lips lightly and briefly organizing her words in her mind, Qing Mo opened her mouth and asked,
"How does it feel to take care of Little Darling?"
"Is it tiring?"
Lin Yu stopped his hand that was about to stuff a french fry into his mouth.
Chewing the food in his mouth, Lin Yu thought for a moment, swallowed, and replied,
"It's alright."
"Mainly because her mom is there watching over her."
"And there are nannies, chefs, and childcare experts around to help handle the trivial matters."
"I don't have to worry about feeding her or mixing formula."
"If we didn't have any of that, and it was just me and Su Yuyao taking care of Little Darling,"
"I reckon it wouldn't be easy."
"Little Darling is actually quite restless."
Lin Yu hadn't really taken care of kids before.
At best, when he went to relatives' houses, he would play with their kids, the kind where he only teased them but didn't soothe them.
So Lin Yu wasn't very clear on what other people's children were like.
Whether they were all like Little Darling, making people worry.
Getting his answer, Qing Mo nodded. She leaned one hand on the table, turned her body sideways, rested her cheek in her palm, and looked at Lin Yu with great interest as she continued to ask,
"Then how does it feel to have a child?"
Lin Yu smacked his lips a couple of times. Bringing this up made his mood a bit complicated, so much so that he lost the appetite to eat the french fry that was already at his lips.
Putting down the french fry dipped in meat sauce, Lin Yu crossed his forearms and laid them flat on the table.
He slumped his shoulders, his usually straight back hunching a bit decadently.
He let out a soft breath through his nose like a sigh, and after a moment of hesitation, Lin Yu said,
"How should I put it?"
"..."
"It's actually quite nice."
Lin Yu concluded,
"Having a cute little one connected to you by blood in your life."
"She's fun to tease and fun to play with."
"And she always smiles the moment she sees you."
"It's quite healing."
"Having a child, you feel like even your heart becomes a bit heavier."
"It's as if a chubby, fair little version of her is living inside your heart."
"This feeling..."
"It's not uncomfortable."
"Having a heavy heart actually makes you feel grounded."
"She makes you feel like you've become more important."
"Like she's helped you step into a new stage of life."
Listening to Lin Yu's words of approval, yet looking at his somewhat dejected appearance, Qing Mo felt deeply confused and asked,
"Then why do you have that expression?"
"You look like you don't like children."
Lin Yu pursed his lips.
Regarding the fact that the Heavenly Destiny Society was targeting Little Darling, Lin Yu naturally couldn't tell Qing Mo, so he could only find a plausible excuse and say,
"Because Little Darling's health isn't good."
"Ever since we had her,"
"I'm always worrying about this and stressing over that."
"I feel like I'm aging faster."
