3372 Treat Her Well
“He’s been sleeping since last night,” Qin Xin answered, turning to look at Hao’er on the bed.
“Go get some rest!” Feng Jiu then walked forward and sat beside the bed.
Qin Xin bowed and left the room, closing the door gently behind her.
Feng Jiu sat beside the bed, staring at Hao’er, who was fast asleep. When she saw him, her heart softened. She had watched him grow from a small bundle curling up like a kitten in her arms to this size now over the years.
The little boy was so good-looking; when he grew up, he would surely be a handsome man. She burst out laughing at the thought of many adoring women following behind him one day.
“Mother?” Hao’er opened his eyes in a daze, rubbed them, and saw his mother laughing by the bed.
“Awake? Are you hungry?” She asked with a smile, lifted him out of the quilt, picked up the clothes on the bedside, and helped him dress.
“Mm hmm.” Hao’er nodded, looking at her sleepily, letting his mother help him dress.
“Go wash up, I’ll wait for you outside.” Feng Jiu ruffled his hair, got him out of bed, and signalled him to go wash up.
Hao’er answered and went to the washroom, while Feng Jiu waited outside and asked the maids to prepare breakfast. Hao’er came out soon after and took Feng Jiu’s hand.
“Let’s go! We’re going to have breakfast in the main courtyard, where your father and uncle are.” Feng Jiu told him as she took him to the main courtyard.
The maids had already set up the breakfast table in the main courtyard. While they were waiting for Feng Jiu and Hao’er, Xuanyuan Mo Ze and Guan Xilin sat and talked.
“When the time comes, you go back with Ah Jiu first. I still need to prepare some betrothal gifts, so I might be a little late. I have to trouble all of you with the wedding.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze told Guan Xilin.
When Guan Xilin heard this, he laughed. “Don’t worry, I’ll personally arrange your wedding. Once we get back, I’ll ask my foster father to select an auspicious date for you.”
“Many thanks, ” Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s lips curved up, showing that he was in a good mood.
“Good morning!” Mo Chen’s voice came in, and the two men in the courtyard looked at him, seeing him still dressed in white, exuding an ethereal aura of a banished immortal.
Guan Xilin stood up, greeting him with a smile, “Sit down, I just arrived too, let’s have breakfast together.”
“Has Ah Jiu not gotten up yet?” Mo Chen asked, looking at Xuanyuan Mo Ze.
“She’s up, she went to Hao’er’s room, and she should be here soon.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze motioned for him to take a seat. The maid also placed another set of bowls and chopsticks on the table.
Guan Xilin also sat down. “We were just talking about their wedding,” he said, laughing. “Those of us who have been married know that it’s a major life event and involves many ceremonies and preparations.”
“A wedding is a major event, so there is naturally much to plan. However, with your help, I believe they will have an easier time.” Mo Chen said with a chuckle, looking at Xuanyuan Mo Ze. “You two have come a long way; once you’re married, you should cherish each other even more; especially you, you should treat Ah Jiu well.”
“She is my wife, the woman I love,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze stated as he looked at him.
“Naturally, I will cherish and love her.”
Hearing their conversation, Guan Xilin was slightly taken aback. He looked at Mo Chen’s face and then at Xuanyuan Mo Ze, sensing that something was off.
