Little fan An An didn’t have a strong taste for food, so steamed dishes were delicious to her. She scooped up rice with a small spoon, enjoying it very much.
Big fan Gu Yicheng thought that these dishes were too light, but because Mo Sui cooked them herself, he could actually taste the flavors while eating. Of course, the biggest contributor was the chili sauce.
After having dinner and cleaning up the dishes, the couple accompanied the child to play on the slide.
The little dumpling climbed up the slide, slid down with a ‘whoosh’, sat on the ground with her buttocks, and looked back at her parents.
It was not until her parents clapped their hands and said that she was great that An An stood up shyly.
“What’s so great about this…” She scratched her head.
Gu Yicheng and Mo Sui looked at each other.
They were too careless in coaxing the child and were discovered.
At 8:30 in the evening, after playing until the last bit of power was exhausted, the little girl finally went back to her room to sleep.
“Is she asleep?” Gu Yicheng leaned against the door of the master bedroom and asked softly.
Mo Sui nodded, rubbed her sore shoulders, and came out of the room.
Playing with children for a day was more tiring than shooting a night scene.
Gu Yicheng looked at her and wanted to help her massage her shoulders, but when he raised his hand, he hesitated again.
He had been rejected too many times before, and for a moment, he didn’t dare to act rashly.
As the two people passed each other, Mo Sui raised her head and saw his hands frozen in the air.
She quickly realized what he wanted to do and couldn’t help laughing.
“I’ll go heat up some milk. Do you want some?”
“Let me help you.”
In the quiet living room, the couple stayed together, one holding a warm cup of milk, while the other packing up toys for An An.
They had lived an awkward marriage for such a long time, and although the knot in their hearts had been untied, it was difficult to return to the original state for a while.
It was like everyone wanted to take a step forward, but they didn’t have the courage.
But they all knew that everything would get better slowly.
“Have you been busy these two days?” Mo Sui broke the silence, coughed lightly, and took a sip of the milk cup, “I haven’t seen you at home.”
Gu Yicheng put An An’s Barbie doll into the storage box. When he heard her words, his hand paused.
After a while, he said, “I went to the First People’s Hospital and the funeral home.”
They agreed that this time, there would be no concealment.
Mo Sui’s hand holding the milk cup tightened unconsciously, and because of too much force, her fingertips turned white.
When she raised her head again, she asked softly, “Why?”
Gu Yicheng expressed his thoughts.
The wall clock in the living room made a ticking sound.
After a long time, she found her voice: “Did you find out anything?”
Gu Yicheng shook his head: “The doctors in the hospital have faced too many births, old age, sickness, and death, so they have no impression of our child.”
“What about the funeral home?” Mo Sui asked with a trembling voice again.
Gu Yicheng still shook his head, stood up, gently took Mo Sui into his arms, and whispered to comfort: “Maybe I’m overthinking.”
The steady heartbeat gradually calmed her down.
Her slender hand fell on his black shirt and tightened gently.
Mo Sui didn’t expect that Mo Yaqin actually knew that she had secretly attended her father’s funeral.
Countless thoughts emerged in her mind, almost tangled. She was a little dazed, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
Was this really something her mother would do?

Translator’s Comment:
Is it really Mo Yaqin?

You can support your lovely translator and your favorite novel by buying me a cup of Ko-fi ( ˘▽˘)っ♨
I will really appreciate it. ❤️❤️❤️

Difficult to tell, we don’t have that many scenes with Mo Yaqin. She appears obsessed, but killing a child is quite a step…
Por isso que eu acho que An An é a bb da protagonista, matar é exagero, mas fazer uma armação e colocar a criança no orfanato parece possível…
Indeed, you said killing was too much but what about abanding the child?
