Chapter 118

After having dinner with Song Linchuan and Zhou Wei, Song Anan took Mu Mu home.

As soon as mother and son entered the door, they saw Qiu Qiu slowly coming over from the living room, as if it had been waiting for them all along.

Mu Mu changed his shoes and immediately ran over to hug Qiu Qiu, "Mom, Qiu Qiu was waiting for us."

Song Anan also smiled and squatted down to stroke Qiu Qiu's head. The little guy closed his eyes, looking very comfortable.

Qiu Qiu is now fifteen years old. At this age, cats are undisputedly senior cats. Because they took good care of it, Qiu Qiu was still in pretty good physical condition.

However, as Qiu Qiu grew older, they now basically took it for a checkup every six months, and were very attentive in daily life as well.

Over the years, Qiu Qiu had obviously become a part of their family, especially after Mu Mu was born. The child and cat got along very harmoniously.

"Mom, I want to play with Qiu Qiu for a while before taking a bath." Mu Mu blinked his big round eyes, looking expectantly at Song Anan.

Song Anan smiled and said, "Okay, but only for a while, you have to take a bath in half an hour."

Mu Mu obediently agreed.

Then, child and cat tacitly went to the living room.

Mu Mu took out the small box of cat toys and placed it in front of Qiu Qiu to choose.

But Qiu Qiu was old and didn't like moving around much. It didn't seem very interested in anything after looking around.

Mu Mu seemed to be used to this situation.

He picked up a picture book next to him, sighed like a little adult, and said, "Okay, then I'll read you the picture book."

Qiu Qiu seemed to understand, and lay down by Mu Mu's leg, dozing off.

Soon, Mu Mu's tender voice rang out in the living room. Song Anan smiled and shook her head, then went back to the bedroom.

About half an hour later.

Song Anan came to call Mu Mu to take a bath.

Mu Mu exclaimed, "So soon, it's half an hour already?"

Song Anan pointed to the clock on the wall and said, "We got home at eight, and now it's half past eight, exactly half an hour, mom was keeping time."

Mu Mu uttered an "oh" and, although reluctant, got up decisively and followed his mom to the bathroom.

Since childhood, the child always kept his word. No matter how reluctant he was, he would not throw a tantrum if he had promised something.

In the bathroom, Mu Mu sat naked in the bathtub. "Mom, I miss dad. Can we video chat with him later?"

Song Anan was helping him wash off the bath gel and said, "Not tonight, dad is working. Tomorrow mom is off, we’ll ask dad again during the daytime, okay?"

Mu Mu nodded, "Okay."

After washing up, mother and son returned to the bedroom. Song Anan told Mu Mu a bedtime story for a while before they both fell asleep.

It was already midnight when Pei Kuang rushed home. He tiptoed into the bedroom and saw his wife and son on the bed. His eyes were full of tenderness.

He came to the bedside. In the dim light of the nightlight, he looked at the similar sleeping postures of mother and child, and couldn't help smiling silently.

Afraid of waking up Song Anan, Pei Kuang had already taken a shower downstairs. He carried his son to the small bed inside, then lay down next to his wife.

Song Anan was awakened by the rustling movements next to her. When she saw Pei Kuang, she was stunned for a few seconds.

She thought she was dreaming and subconsciously rubbed her eyes.

Pei Kuang was amused by her dazed look. He couldn't help but chuckled softly, "It's not a dream, it's me."

Having said that, he leaned down and pecked her lips lightly.

Song Anan was now fully awake. She looked surprised and said, "How come you're back? Didn't you say it would take a few more days to finish filming?"

Pei Kuang kissed her again with a smile, "Finished early."

He had originally wanted to surprise Song Anan, but was delayed by a late flight, so he got home so late.

"Did you miss me?" He hugged her tightly and took a deep breath at her neck.

Song Anan snuggled in his arms and murmured, "I missed you, I missed you so much."

They hadn't seen each other for almost two months, of course she missed him.

"Mu Mu missed you too. He said he wanted to video chat with you when taking a bath tonight."

Pei Kuang chuckled softly, "Then he must be very surprised to see me in the morning."

Song Anan let out a soft "hmm", and hugged his waist tightly, looking up to kiss him. Pei Kuang kissed her back.

As they kissed more passionately, a fire was lit.

When Pei Kuang put his hand into her pajamas, Song Anan suddenly regained her last bit of sanity and quickly pushed him away, "No, we can't, Mu Mu is here."

Pei Kuang glanced at his son who was sleeping sweetly not far away and couldn't help but hold his forehead.

This little cockblocker is really annoying.

But it was obviously unrealistic to stop at this point. So he blew in her ear and seduced in a low voice, "Then shall we... go to the study?" There was a large bay window in the study, a very nice place.

They had gone there many times before.

Song Anan's face turned red as she murmured in agreement. Having obtained her consent, Pei Kuang carried Song Anan out of the bedroom and headed straight for the study.

The next morning, little Mu Mu was the first to wake up. He found himself sleeping in a small bed and thought it was a bit strange at first. But when he turned his head and saw his dad, his eyes lit up instantly.

"Dad!" He shouted happily.

Pei Kuang made a shushing gesture, then pointed to Song Anan who was sleeping soundly.

Mu Mu was very clever and immediately understood what his dad meant. He immediately covered his mouth with his little hand.

Pei Kuang was amused by his son. He got out of bed and carried Mu Mu to the living room.

As soon as they reached the living room, Mu Mu no longer had to hold back. "Dad, when did you come back? How come I didn't know?"

Pei Kuang smiled and pinched his son's cheek, "Last night, you were already asleep."

Mu Mu uttered an "oh", hugged Pei Kuang's neck and didn't let go, "Dad, why were you away for so long this time? Mu Mu missed you to death."

Pei Kuang said with a laugh, "Dad missed Mu Mu too. This time when I come back, I’ll spend more time with you, okay?"

When Mu Mu heard that Dad would spend more time with him, he was extremely happy. "Okay!"

Father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so naturally they chatted affectionately for a good while. Mu Mu was basically raised by Pei Kuang since he was little, and the two had always had a great relationship.

He chatted nonstop with Pei Kuang, talking about new friends he made at kindergarten, and some particularly fun things he had played. Like a chirping little sparrow.

Pei Kuang didn't find it annoying either, and would ask one or two questions from time to time. Unknowingly, they chatted for a long time.

Mu Mu seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said joyfully, "Dad, I'll tell you a secret, I have a little sister now!"

Pei Kuang was stunned. His first reaction was that Song Anan was pregnant.

"Little sister?"

Mu Mu nodded vigorously with his little head, "Yes, a little sister. Don't believe me, ask Mom."

Hearing this, Pei Kuang became more convinced of his previous guess.

He suddenly changed his face, thinking of something.

Song Anan was already pregnant, so what they did last night was probably too... Pei Kuang couldn't sit still anymore, "Mu Mu, you stay here obediently. Dad is going to check on mom to see if she's okay."

But as soon as he turned around, he bumped right into Song Anan who had just come downstairs.

Song Anan was a little confused.

She was perfectly fine, what could have happened?

"What's wrong?" she asked.

Pei Kuang quickly went up to check her all over, and finally gently placed his hand on her belly, "How are you feeling? Any discomfort anywhere?"

Song Anan was puzzled, "No."

As long as she was not uncomfortable, Pei Kuang was relieved.

He looked at Song Anan disapprovingly, "Why didn't you tell me you were pregnant?"

If he had known, he would have controlled himself last night.

Pregnant?

Song Anan was stunned for a few seconds: "When did I get pregnant?"

Seeing her reaction, Pei Kuang was also a little confused: "You're not pregnant?"

Song Anan shook her head, "No, who told you that?"

Pei Kuang turned to look at Mu Mu.

The little guy was looking at his parents with a blank expression, clearly not understanding the situation.

Song Anan's eyebrows furrowed slightly. This was not right, Mu Mu never talked nonsense.

"What did Mu Mu say?" she asked.

Pei Kuang replied, "He said he has a little sister now."

Hearing this, Song Anan finally knew where the problem was.

She quickly told Pei Kuang about Zhou Wei's pregnancy, and Pei Kuang was somewhat amused.

"How dare this rascal scare his dad so early in the morning!" Song Anan laughed uncontrollably, "It's your own fault for not asking clearly. How can you blame Mu Mu? That's unreasonable."

Pei Kuang reached out and pulled her into his arms directly, "You are biased towards our son and don't even stand up for me."

After saying that, he deliberately teased her by tickling her weak spots.

Song Anan was most ticklish there, laughing uncontrollably, but she also couldn't escape. She could only beg for mercy.

Thus, her laughter and pleas for mercy filled the living room.

Mu Mu was apparently already used to this kind of situation. He watched with great delight, and when he got excited, he would pull Ball Ball next to him to clap along.

Cheering them on!

Without a doubt, for this family, it was a delightful morning.

After breakfast, Mu Mu drew pictures in the living room while Song Anan and Pei Kuang chatted idly on the sofa. Pei Kuang suddenly said, "Anan, why don't you reconsider what I mentioned before?"

Song Anan was a bit confused and asked, "What thing?"

Pei Kuang laughed and said, "The vasectomy."

As soon as Song Anan heard it was about this, she glared at him, "Didn't I already say no before? Why are you bringing it up again!" But since Pei Kuang had brought up the old topic again, he naturally wouldn't give up so easily. "Anan, I've looked into it already. It won't affect men at all."

Song Anan glanced at him, her attitude still very firm - she disagreed so she disagreed.

In fact, ever since Mu Mu was born, they never planned to have a second child. Pei Kuang was afraid Song Anan would suffer from being pregnant again and didn't want her to go through that ordeal again.

As for Song Anan, she was worried it would interfere with Pei Kuang's work.

Pei Kuang continued to persuade her patiently, "Anan, you're a doctor. I don't need to tell you that contraception isn't 100% effective. I still think..."

Song Anan didn't want to hear him say these things. She reached out and covered his mouth, "I said no, so no!"

"What if I want to have a daughter someday? If you can't do it, does that mean I have to find someone else?"

As soon as Pei Kuang heard this, his gaze became somewhat dangerous. "You want to find someone else to have a child with?"

Song Anan tilted her head stubbornly, "Well, if you can't do it someday, then I have no other choice."

Pei Kuang was so angry he had to laugh.

In just a few seconds, she had mentioned 'he couldn't do it' twice. How could he tolerate this?!

Song Anan clearly also realized the danger. She darted over to her son who was drawing.

"Mu Mu, what are you drawing? Show mommy."

Of course, Mu Mu didn't know his mother was using him as a human shield. He happily handed over his sketchbook with a smile.

Then, the mother and son gleefully discussed it.

Pei Kuang helplessly shook his head.

After this drama finishes filming, Pei Kuang will probably get a month off. Right now his work arrangements revolve around shooting dramas. He avoids other commercial activities as much as possible, to free up more time with his family.

Whenever Pei Kuang is home, Auntie nanny's job becomes so easy. She only needs to work half days, and even sending and picking up Mu Mu from preschool has been taken over by Pei Kuang.

Not only that, Pei Kuang also goes to the hospital to deliver meals to Song Anan every few days, earning great envy from the hospital staff. That day, Song Anan had just finished a surgery when she returned to the ward and heard colleagues complaining about work-life balance issues.

Saying that their husbands complain that they work overtime too much and can't take care of the family.

It's not uncommon to hear such talk in hospitals, since doctors and nurses are all truly very busy.

But whenever her colleagues talked about this, Song Anan never participated, mainly because she didn't have this problem at all.

In fact, Song Anan also knew that many colleagues at the hospital envied her a lot.

She also felt very lucky to have met Pei Kuang.

Now looking back, it was almost always Pei Kuang sacrificing for her over the years, like when he went abroad with her for further studies.

Not to mention when she was pregnant and gave birth, he took a 3 year break from work until Mu Mu turned two before returning to shoot dramas again.

Even her sister-in-law said it's very rare to find a man who can do as much as Pei Kuang has.

After work, when Song Anan returned home, she saw Pei Kuang cooking in the kitchen.

Today Mu Mu was taken away by Song Linchuan and Zhou Wei, who said they would bring him back tonight, so it was just the two of them for dinner.

Pei Kuang glanced sideways and said with a smile, "You're back, must be hungry now. Dinner will be ready soon."

Song Anan didn't say anything, but walked over and hugged him from behind.

Seeing her like this, Pei Kuang thought she must have encountered something.

He put down the spoon in his hand and gently asked, "What's wrong? Did something unhappy happen?"

Song Anan shook her head, "No."

She told him about her colleague at the hospital complaining about not balancing family and career well.

Hearing this, Pei Kuang immediately understood.

So the little girl was unhappy because she felt she had sacrificed too much.

Pei Kuang turned around and hugged Song Anan in his arms, chuckling lightly, "Anan, don't forget I'm 7 years older than you."

Song Anan was a bit confused.

What did the 7 year age gap have to do with anything?

Pei Kuang tapped her forehead and said indulgently, "I'm 7 years older than you, started working earlier, so naturally we're at different life stages. "

"Look, when you gave birth to Mu Mu, I was already well established in the entertainment industry. It was reasonable for me to spend more time on family. But you were different, your career had just started. Of course you should focus more on your career."

Song Anan blinked. She hadn't thought of it that way.

Pei Kuang laughed, of course he could think of it that way.

"Also, there was no sacrifice. Everything I did was for myself."

Song Anan glanced at him, "Don't try to placate me."

She wasn't stupid. How could it all be for himself?

Pei Kuang chuckled lightly, "I'm not placating you."

"Then let me ask you, like many people say online, wasn't it better for you to develop your entertainment career instead of becoming a doctor? Do you feel the same way?"

Song Anan was stunned for a moment, suddenly understanding a bit what he was trying to say.

One who is not a fish, how can he know the joy of fish?

Pei Kuang went on, "Right, I actually don't see my work as so important. Doesn't Linchuan always say I'm blinded by love? So I really enjoyed the process."

Song Anan pursed her lips, holding him tightly around the waist.

She wasn't stupid. Although he said it like that, she understood everything Pei Kuang did.

But it was okay, they still had a long future ahead. She would treat him even better going forward!
