Chapter 1128: Chapter 1148: Don’t Lead the Kids Astray

"Did you feel it? She’s really moving!"

"Yeah." Nangong Yaoling nodded, unable to resist lowering his head to kiss her forehead.

"I felt it. Xiaonuan, you’re amazing. Thank you."

Xia Xiaonuan looked at Nangong Yaoling’s exceptionally handsome face, a complex glow swirling in his eyes.

He stared at her unblinkingly, with his pupils containing so many things.

A surge of inexplicable emotion rose in Xia Xiaonuan’s heart.

She couldn’t help but lean her head against his chest.

"I should be the one thanking you, for everything you’ve done for me."

Nangong Yaoling reached out and held her tightly in his arms.

"Silly."

After a while, the man let go of her, bent down, and lifted the blanket.

"I need to have a little chat with the baby."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

The man crawled under the blanket, pressing his face against her belly.

"Baby, it’s Daddy. Can you hear me?" came a muffled voice.

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

"That woman who’s giggling is your Mommy. When you’re born, you have to help me keep an eye on your Mommy, you know?"

"..."

"What are you saying?" Xia Bunan was speechless, scratching the head under the blanket.

"Your Mommy has a bad temper and loves to get into trouble. She’s also quite frail, so you have to make sure she eats well and sleeps well, okay?"

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

Hearing the muffled voice from under the blanket, she suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Her eyes couldn’t help but turn red.

"And also, help me keep an eye on the men around her. Don’t let anyone get too close to her..."

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

The emotions she just stirred up were instantly dashed by his words.

Xia Xiaonuan glared and said, "Nangong Yaoling, you can’t talk bad about me to the baby!"

"..."

"But rest assured, most of the time, your Mommy still has to obey me... you’ll see how I take care of her every day!"

Xia Xiaonuan’s expression suddenly changed.

She grabbed a lump under the blanket and yelled, "Nangong Yaoling... weren’t you supposed to be chatting with the baby?"

"We are having a close conversation..."

"Enough, you’ll spoil the child..."

"I’m teaching him how to win over girls in the future. It’s a form of early education..." the man said mischievously.

Xia Xiaonuan: "..."

Café.

Nangong Zhongli looked curiously at Liang Shaochen across from her, "Shaochen, how come you’re so free today to ask me out for dinner?"

Liang Shaochen lifted his face from the menu, his refined handsome face looking at Nangong Zhongli, "What? When I’m busy, you always complain I’m only focused on work. Now that I’m making time to be with you, aren’t you happy?"

Nangong Zhongli couldn’t help but smile, holding his hand with amusement in her eyes, "How could I not be? Shaochen, I’m so happy today!" she said sincerely.

Liang Shaochen nodded.

Suddenly, he reached into his pocket. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"Since you’re so happy, shouldn’t I make you even happier?" he said as he placed a gift box on the table, pushing it toward Nangong Zhongli.

Nangong Zhongli was taken aback.

Looking at the seemingly familiar gift box.

She couldn’t help but be dumbfounded.

Her heartbeat quickened with a hint of confusion and uncertainty as she looked at Liang Shaochen.

"Aren’t you going to open it?"

Hearing this, Nangong Zhongli’s lips curved as she took the gift box and opened it.

The next second, when she saw the necklace inside, she couldn’t help but cover her mouth with her hand.
