Chapter 769: Surprise Chapter 769: Surprise Editor: Atlas Studios When Qi Haoran returned with his bow in his left hand and his son in his right arm, he realized that the atmosphere in the camp was a little off.
There was joy in the air, and everyone had a beam on their faces as though theyâd found 300 taels of silver on the streets.
With a small bow in his left hand and a string of pheasants in his right, Little Bear didnât notice this.
Feeling uncomfortable being carried by his father, he kicked his legs in the air and shouted at his mother, who was sitting in the distance, âMother, Mother, come and save Little Bear!â Mu Yangling just watched with a smile and waved at them from afar.
âCome over quickly.â Qi Haoran felt that something was wrong.
If it was in the past, Mu Yangling would have jumped up and asked him to carry his son properly.
With his son in his arms, he walked over briskly.
Looking at Mu Yanglingâs smiling face, although he did not sense any danger, he still carried his son in his arms without caring about the dirt and walked to Mu Yanglingâs side before putting him down.
Mu Yangling also smelled the stench coming from her son.
She was stunned for a moment before asking, âLittle Bear, why do you smell so bad?â Qi Haoran rolled his eyes.
âYour son is too stupid.
He actually went to play with bird feces.
He thought that I didnât see it and hurriedly wiped his hands clean.
If he had wiped his hands on the grass or leaves, I wouldnât have said anything.
But he actually wiped them on his own body.
With his stench, those prey ran far away before they even saw him.
These few pheasants were caught by the guards.â As Qi Haoran spoke, he looked at his son in disdain.
Little Bear didnât mind at all.
He already knew that his father didnât truly think that he was stupid when he said that.
Instead, it was a kind of loving modesty.
This was what his mother had told him, so Little Bear proudly carried the string of pheasants and said to his mother, âMother, I was the one who carried this back.â Smiling, Mu Yangling nodded and said gently, âLetâs make beggarâs chicken for dinner and get the kitchen maid to make soup, okay?â Little Bear nodded, drooling.
âThen go take a shower and smell nice again.
Weâll have dinner then.â Little Bear made a request.
âI want to make my own beggarâs chicken.â âNo problem.
Iâll tell them to pluck the feathers first and make beggarâs chicken when youâre done showering.â Satisfied, Little Bear followed the manservant to take a shower and change his clothes.
Qi Haoran looked at Mu Yangling strangely.
Ah Ling was too gentle today.
In the past, if Little Bear had come back so dirty and smelly, even if she didnât scold him, it would definitely teach him a lesson.
Yet today, she was actually so gentle.
After their son left, Mu Yangling turned to look at Qi Haoran with a smile.
Qi Haoran hesitated for a moment before reaching out to touch Mu Yanglingâs forehead.
He muttered, âYou donât have a fever either.â Mu Yangling wasnât angry when she heard that.
She said gently, âHaoran, I have good news for you.â Qi Haoran sat upright and looked at her.
She held his hand and placed it on her abdomen, then said with a smile, âYouâre going to be a father again.â Qi Haoran subconsciously said, âIâve been a father for a long timeââŹÂŚâ After saying that, he realized what was going on.
The hand on Mu Yanglingâs stomach trembled slightly and he widened his eyes at her.
Mu Yangling smiled brightly as she gazed at him.
Qi Haoran only felt warm water flowing through his heart, as though he was carried into the air in a daze.
Limbs feeling limp and weak, he could only keep swallowing to ensure that this was reality and not an illusion.
Seeing that he did not move for a long time, Mu Yangling tilted her head and looked at him curiously.
Seeing that he was staring fixedly ahead, she was a little stunned for a moment.
She did not expect him to have such a big reaction considering it was not the first time she was pregnant.
She clearly already had Little Bear, right?
After taking a shower, Little Bear rushed over before he was done putting on his clothes.
He shouted from afar, âFatherââŹâMotherââŹâIâm hereââŹââ Qi Haoran came back to his senses and turned around to see his son rushing towards Ah Ling.
He hurriedly stopped him and hugged him, afraid that he would throw himself into Mu Yanglingâs arms.
Little Bear didnât realize that something was wrong.
Seeing that his father was hugging him, he turned around and hugged his fatherâs neck.
Seated on his fatherâs lap, he shouted, âI want to make beggarâs chicken.â Qi Haoran was still a little confused.
He stroked his sonâs head and chuckled.
âSon, youâre about to have a younger brother.
Do you like that?â Little Bear looked around and asked, âWhereâs Little Brother?â Qi Haoran pointed at Mu Yanglingâs stomach and said, âHeâs in your motherâs stomach, so you canât throw yourself into her arms again these days, understand?â Little Bear widened his eyes.
âLittle Brother is in her stomach?
What if he gets hungry or wants to sleep?â Qi Haoran replied with a smile, âWhat your mother eats is what your younger brother eats.
When your mother sleeps, your younger brother naturally sleeps, too.â Now that Qi Haoranâs mind had cleared up a lot, he smiled at Mu Yangling and said, âAh Ling, youâre really amazing.
Youâre pregnant again.
Haha, Iâm going to be a father again.
Iâll write a letter to Big Brother now and ask him to reward you.â Seeing that his words no longer made sense, Mu Yangling said helplessly, âWhy should you ask Big Brother to reward me for being pregnant?
Donât mess around.
If the imperial censors finds out, theyâll impeach you.â âIâm not afraid.â Qi Haoran chuckled and said, âArenât you contributing greatly to our Qi family by giving birth to its descendants?
An older brother is like a father.
Itâs only right that Big Brother should reward you.â âHave you ever seen a father-in-law reward a pregnant daughter-in-law?â Even though Mu Yangling was happy, she couldnât help but glare at him and say, âYouâre not allowed to write random letters.
If word gets out, itâll be so embarrassing.
If you write them, Iâll be too embarrassed to return to the capital in the future.â Qi Haoran would certainly go along with what she said at this moment.
When he heard this, he hurriedly nodded and said, âAlright, I wonât write it.
Donât be angry and take good care of the baby.â Little Bear didnât understand much, but he could still tell that his father had admitted his mistake.
He jumped off his fatherâs knee and reached out to hit him.
Then, he turned around and said to his mother, âMother, donât be angry.
Iâll hit him for you.â As he spoke, he turned around and patted Qi Haoran twice.
âWhy are you so disobedient?
Why are you so disobedient and made your mother so angry?
Little Bear is much more obedient than you.â Qi Haoran looked at his originally innocent and kind son as if he had been struck by lightning.
He roared, âThis is what I said to you when I beat you.
Why did you learn it from me?â Little Bear often made Mu Yangling angry.
Qi Haoran was afraid that Mu Yangling would punish him too severely, so he often took the initiative to punish him.
He pulled his son over and gently patted his butt.
âWhy are you so disobedient?
Why are you so disobedient and made your mother so angry?
Look, Brother Little Treasure is much more obedient than you.â Little Bear immediately hid in his motherâs arms.
He stole a glance at his father as he explained, âDaddy made Mommy angry.
He deserves a beating.
He deserves a beating.â Mu Yangling stroked Little Bearâs head and said, âEven so, you canât hit him.
Thatâs your daddy.
No matter what, you canât hit your father, understand?â Little Bear tilted his head and asked, âThen who can hit Daddy?â Mu Yangling thought for a moment and said, âBased on morals, in this world, only your royal uncle can hit your daddy.â Little Bear said softly, âBut a good child doesnât tattletale on others.
How can I badmouth Daddy to Royal Uncle?â When Qi Haoran heard this, he felt much better.
Just then, he heard his son say regretfully, âMother, canât you beat Daddy up?â Qi Haoran glared at his son.
Mu Yangling glanced at him and said with a smile, âBased on morals, I canât.â In terms of relationships, that might not be the case.
Not daring to let his son continue asking, Qi Haoran pulled him out of Mu Yanglingâs arms and tidied his clothes.
âAlright, now that youâre a big brother, you have to be more sensible.
Youâre not allowed to cause trouble at whim in the future.
Didnât you want to make beggarâs chicken?
Hurry up and bring the ingredients over.
I will teach you.â
