Sir, How About A Marriage?

Chapter 442: Family Bonds

The baby waved his chubby hand and stuffed the half-eaten teething stick into his mouth. After confirming it was delicious, he continued to eat as he babbled happily.

Song Ning patted the baby’s head. “Baby, you’re so obedient.”

Mu Chen reached out and stroked Song Ning’s hair. “You’ve suffered. I really wish I can stay here and not leave. The baby misses you too.”

Song Ning reached out to hug Mu Chen and the baby. “Let’s wait a little longer. When the time is right, I’ll return. We have to think of the other members of the Mu family. We can’t push them into the storm.”

Mu Chen was a little helpless. “Song Ning, you have too many people and things in your heart. You don’t care about yourself, me, or the baby.”

Song Ning ignored his complaints and went to check on the soup and the other dishes she had made. She said with a smile, “The food will be ready soon. We can eat soon.”

Mu Chen carried the baby to the dining table. The baby busied himself with the teething stick.

Song Ning had baked the teething sticks with cornflour. The baby seemed to like it very much based on how he was chewing on it continuously.

Mu Chen seemed amused by the baby’s antics.

Song Ning made a lot of dishes. She even packed them in various containers so Mu Chen could bring them back for Jiang Jin and Sister Yu.

After that, she served the dishes and the egg tofu soup that was specially made for the baby.

Upon smelling the delicious aroma, the baby began to struggle and kick his feet again.

Mu Chen patted the baby likely on the baby’s bottom as he said, “Do you have springs in your feet? Can you stop for a moment?”

A sweet smile appeared on Song Ning’s face as she looked at Mu Chen and the baby.

With his mother around, the baby did not seem to care about his father. He continued babbling and struggling to go to his mother.

Song Ning scooped some rice for Mu Chen before she carried the baby to the baby seat. After tying a bib around him, she sat down to feed him.

Mu Chen felt as though his heart was melting when he saw this. Although Song Ning did not spend much time with the baby, she was already very familiar with the baby. It was as though she had always been by the baby’s side. He could not help but feel a little sad over the time they had lost.

Meanwhile, the baby seemed to like the egg tofu soup very much. He babbled happily as Song Ning fed him.

Mu Chen removed the bone from the braised pork and brought it to Song Ning’s lips.

Song Ning looked at him, stunned.

“You feed him, and I’ll feed you,” Mu Chen explained.

Song Ning smiled and ate the piece of braised pork.

At this moment, the baby giggled. Then, he seemed to struggle for a moment, opening and closing his mouth before he said with great difficulty, “M… Ma… Ma!”

Mu Chen smiled. “I don’t know if he knows what he’s saying. Sometimes, when he’s in a good mood, he’d call out ‘Papa’.”

Song Ning thought that it makes sense. It was still a little too early for the baby to talk.

However, the baby called out again, “Ma… ma…”

Song Ning was overjoyed. “He’s really calling me!”

Mu Chen teased the baby. “Say, Papa… Papa…”

The baby chewed on the teething stick before he said, “Pa… pa…”

Mu Chen took the teething stick away and said, “Again, say, Papa…”

The baby gurgled before looking away, ignoring Mu Chen. He looked at Song Ning and giggled happily.

Mu Chen poked the baby gently. “Hey, this isn’t fair. I play with you every day, but you still chose your mother over me. However, it’s okay.. I have to say you have really good taste!”
