Chapter 194 Let's become in-laws
When Li Mo'er arrived at Yingkelou, Wang Cheng was sitting behind the counter holding his child.
This time she didn't come empty-handed either, but instead stopped by a jewelry store and bought a small gold bracelet.
When Yunzhi was born, Wang Cheng also gave him a small gold lock.
Therefore, Li Mo'er thought of taking this opportunity to give Wang Cheng's child a small gift.
"Be good, Niannian, Daddy will be back soon."
Wang Cheng held Niannian and tried to comfort her, but Niannian kept crying until her voice was hoarse.
She felt sorry for the child but was helpless. She had tried many ways to amuse him, but none of them worked.
Niannian was born after Chu Xiaohuan risked his life. Because she was a thought left behind by Li Mo'er, Chu Xiaohuan named her Niannian, or Chu Niannian.
Because of his successful negotiations last year, Chu Xiaohuan applied for a condition that he could only enter the palace to pay homage to the Empress when she summoned him.
Fortunately, the year was peaceful, so Chu Xiaohuan was able to stay home and rest during her pregnancy, and gave birth to the child safely.
When taking the child out on ordinary days, Chu Xiaohuan doesn't hide it and makes it clear that Niannian is his child.
Of course, the fact that the child had no mother naturally plunged Chu Xiaohuan into a media storm.
He would rather bear the stigma of impurity and infidelity himself than have his children grow up without a place to belong.
As winter approached, the Empress sent Chu Xiaohuan to Luocheng to check on the people's situation.
Today, while the child was sleeping, Chu Xiaohuan went to find the prefect to inquire about the situation.
Wang Cheng hadn't expected that Nian Nian, who usually slept for half an hour, would wake up after only one incense stick's time today.
She's been trying to comfort her for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and she's still crying.
To get Niannian to sleep, Wang Cheng carried her and walked around, trying to lull her back to sleep.
Wang Cheng frowned as he looked at the crying Niannian and gently patted her back.
His voice was extremely gentle, but if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of gritted teeth.
"Boss, if you don't come back soon, one of us, Niannian or I, will die."
Even so, she still had a smile on her face, afraid that Niannian would cry even harder if she saw her fierce expression.
She knew that Niannian might fall asleep after crying herself to sleep, but she kept screaming at the top of her lungs because she was genuinely worried.
She could hand over any child to someone else without any burden.
But this is Niannian; her employer made her her godmother the moment she was born.
Now, Niannian is three months old, and her eyebrows and eyes have opened up.
You can vaguely see the shadow of Li Mo'er in the nose and mouth.
"Sweetie, don't cry."
Wang Cheng couldn't take it anymore. After wiping the tears off Niannian's face, she decided to get up and go find Chu Xiaohuan so that he could comfort her himself.
He had followed Chu Xiaohuan's procedure for coaxing Niannian, so why couldn't he coax her?
However, as soon as she got up, she saw Li Mo'er watching the commotion not far away.
She was leaning against the door frame, arms crossed, leisurely watching her coax the girl until she was covered in sweat.
She's working herself to the bone here taking care of her child, while she herself is all free.
Wang Cheng felt uncomfortable. If her employer hadn't repeatedly told her not to tell Li Mo'er about Niannian's background before she came, she would have wanted to throw the child into her arms.
When Li Mo'er saw that Wang Cheng had noticed her, she stepped inside.
She looked at the baby in the swaddling clothes, whose little face was wrinkled and red from crying, and said helplessly to Wang Cheng.
"The baby has already been born, and they didn't even tell me."
Wang Cheng was taken aback and wanted to refute, "I... this...", but in the end he said nothing.
Looking at the child who was crying so hard he was about to stop, Li Mo'er felt a pang of heartache for him.
Seeing Wang Cheng's helpless expression, she clapped her hands and reached out to the child.
"How about I give you a hug?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Cheng's eyes flashed, and he immediately handed Niannian to her.
"If you don't hold your child, who will?"
Wang Cheng muttered something under his breath, but Li Mo'er's attention was entirely on Niannian, and she didn't hear what he was saying.
Li Mo'er reached out her finger and gently poked Niannian's soft cheek, asking her name.
She looked at Niannian and whispered her name. It seemed that Sister Wang had truly found the love of her life, even the child's name was a expression of longing.
Strangely enough, once the child was in Li Mo'er's arms, her crying gradually subsided, and her two little hands tightly gripped Li Mo'er's clothes.
Li Mo'er gently tapped Niannian's red nose, carefully examined her, and then looked up at Wang Cheng.
"Sister Wang, this child doesn't look much like you."
She looked at Niannian and felt that she looked more and more familiar, but she just couldn't figure out who she resembled.
Wang Cheng panicked at first, almost dropping his water glass, but he forced himself to remain calm and took a sip of tea.
"A daughter will definitely resemble her father more."
“女儿啊！”
Li Mo'er's eyes lit up when she heard the word "daughter".
She stared intently at Niannian; the child was good-looking, and she was Sister Wang's child.
"Sister Wang, this baby is only two or three months old..."
Wang Cheng thought Li Mo'er was about to guess the mastermind, and if he calculated the date again, he could figure out who it was.
"This child is my daughter, don't think too much."
Despite saying that, all Wang Cheng could think about was, "What a sin, what a sin..."
However, since I am Niannian's godmother, there's nothing wrong with saying that.
Li Mo'er chuckled upon hearing this; what she wanted was Wang Cheng's child.
"Sister Wang, why don't we become in-laws?"
"puff--"
Wang Cheng couldn't hold back any longer and spat out a mouthful of tea, startling her so much that she quickly grabbed Niannian from Li Mo'er's arms.
