Chapter 341 The little guy just kicked me!
As Liang Junze stepped into the mansion, he heard the sound of "thump thump" footsteps on the bluestone slabs.
A small pink figure like a cannonball rushed over and crashed directly into his arms.
"Daddy!" Yaoyao tiptoed to reach the jade pendant tassel on his waist, her big grape-like eyes twinkling, "Tangtang!"
Gu Qingyan laughed and picked up Yaoyao from behind, rubbing her face with his newly grown stubble: "Little greedy cat, why don't you ask Father Yan for it?"
As he spoke, he took out an oil-paper bag from his arms and handed it to Mu Feng who was holding Ning Ning, "Mu Feng, this is the Fuling Cake from your favorite shop."
Mu Feng freed up one hand to take it, his eyes curved into crescents: "Brother Ayan always remembers these." Xinxin in his arms smelled the sweet fragrance and reached out to grab it, babbling.
"Brother Yan is biased!" Lin Yuxuan came over with Ning Ning in his arms, puffing up his cheeks deliberately, "Don't we have a share?"
Gu Qingyan pretended to twist his ear. "Ah Xuan, stop it. Who stole my two boxes of candied fruit last month?" He said as he pulled out two boxes of candied fruit from his bag like a magic trick. "Amu's walnut cakes, Achen's plum candies—" He suddenly lowered his voice. "The doctor said that twins should eat less sweet food, so I brought you a bag of sour dried apricots."
Shangguan Haochen rushed over with a slightly protruding belly: "Brother Ayan is the best!" But he was supported by Shangguan Haomu beside him: "Be careful." The usually steady Fourth Master took the oil-paper bag and nodded lightly in thanks.
Finally, Gu Qingyan took out an exquisite tin box from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Shen Yunyan who was standing in the corridor: "Yunyan, pine nut candy. I specially asked the store to add more honey."
Shen Yunyan's ears turned slightly red as he took it. Although he had been in the mansion for nearly a year, every time he was called "Ah Yunyan" by these brothers, he still felt a warm touch in his heart. He lowered his head and sniffed: "Is this Chengnan Xuji? Their candy..."
"I added a little salt when frying to enhance the flavor." Liang Junze continued with a smile, walking over with Yaoyao in one hand. "Yun Yan's tongue is still as sharp as ever." He pulled out a small cloth bag from his sleeve. "I found a new spice in Puyang, and I thought it might be useful for lubricating your mechanism."
The yard suddenly became lively.
Mu Feng asked the servants to prepare calming tea, Lin Yuxuan checked Liang Junze's complexion and wanted to take his pulse, the Shangguan brothers competed to talk about interesting things during pregnancy, and even the usually taciturn Shen Yunyan took the initiative to take the luggage.
Yaoyao went back and forth between several fathers, and finally fell asleep on Gu Qingyan's shoulder, with half a piece of Poria cocos cake in her hand.
Liang Junze looked around at the bustling atmosphere in the yard, and suddenly felt that even Puyang's fatigue was cured.
He reached out and brushed away the fallen flowers on Mu Feng's shoulders, and whispered, "We're back."
Hanhan squatted in the shadow of the corridor, his small body almost curled up into a round ball.
The eight-month-old boy couldn't speak yet, but his phoenix eyes, inherited from Gu Qingyan, were exceptionally bright.
He was concentrating on fiddling with the nine-ring chain that Shen Yunyan had made for him, and the metal rings made crisp sounds when they collided.
When he heard the noisy sound of the adults returning home, he just looked up and glanced, his gaze lingering on Gu Qingyan for less than a breath, then lowered his head to continue unraveling his Nine Rings.
The chubby boy fiddled with the copper ring clumsily with his hands, his brows furrowed tightly.
Gu Qingyan strode over, and when he squatted down, his leather armor made a slight friction sound. "Son, do you miss your daddy?" He reached out to touch Hanhan's face, but the little guy turned his head away.
Hanhan pursed her pink lips and suddenly passed the Nine-Link Lock to the side—right into the hands of Mu Feng who was passing by. "Hmm!" He called out briefly, his little finger eagerly pointing at the complicated lock mechanism.
Mu Feng, still holding the sleeping Ningning in his arms, smiled and took it with one hand. "Hanhan, do you want Daddy Mu to untie this?" His slender fingers twirled nimbly a few times, and with a click, the nine-link chain was untied.
Hanhan's eyes instantly lit up like stars, and his little mouth opened into a round "O" shape.
He stretched out his chubby little hand and tugged at the corner of Mu Feng's clothes in admiration, completely unaware of the drooping corners of his father's mouth.
"You little brat!" Gu Qingyan deliberately put on a stern face and ruffled Hanhan's soft hair with his big hands.
The boy then looked at his father reluctantly, and suddenly reached out to touch Gu Qingyan's waist.
Gu Qingyan's eyes lit up: "What? Finally remembered your father?"
He raised his eyebrows proudly at Liang Junze, but saw Hanhan skillfully take out a piece of sesame candy from the secret compartment of his scabbard - this was a little secret between them as father and son.
But before Gu Qingyan could laugh, Hanhan turned around with his little butt twisted, and crawled unsteadily towards Yaoyao who was eating pastries.
"Ah!" He stuffed the sesame candy that was soaked with his father's body temperature into his sister's hand, with seriousness written all over his little face.
Yaoyao took it happily and said, "Thank you, brother!" She leaned over and gave Hanhan a kiss on the face.
Liang Junze looked at this scene and couldn't help shaking his head and laughing: "There is a little Mu Feng in our family."
He squatted down and gently pinched Hanhan's face, "You know how to love your sister at such a young age?"
Hanhan didn't answer, but just proudly puffed out his little chest, rubbed back to Mu Feng's legs, and stared eagerly at the nine-ring chain in his hand - the meaning was obvious: Daddy Mu wants to play again.
Gu Qingyan pretended to be sad and covered his chest: "My son, your father has been through life and death for a month, but he is not as good as Ah Feng in solving the Nine Links?"
Lin Yuxuan came over at some point and handed over a bag of candied fruit with a smile: "Brother Ayan, would you like to eat a plum to relax?" But Gu Qingyan glared back at him.
Laughter suddenly broke out in the yard.
Hanhan was infected by the adults' laughter, and he also opened his little mouth, which had not yet grown all his teeth, to reveal a sweet smile.
The sunlight filtered through the eaves, casting a soft golden edge on the top of his hair.
When Su Yue turned around the screen wall holding the gilded brocade box, she saw two figures, one in blue and one in white, flying in the courtyard.
Shangguan Haochen's sword moves were still as sharp as the wind, but his four-month pregnant belly made his movements a little clumsy. A silver light flashed, and he suddenly slipped -
"careful!"
Su Yue rushed forward, but saw a white shadow that was faster than her.
Shangguan Haomu held his brother's waist firmly, and with his other hand he gently supported his bulging belly: "I've told you many times that you can't do strenuous exercise during pregnancy." Although his voice was cold, his fingertips were trembling slightly.
"Brother is too nervous!" Shangguan Haochen wiped the sweat off his face nonchalantly, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Sister!" He was about to pounce on her with his bulging belly, but his brother held his shoulders.
"Yu'er, don't touch him." Shangguan Haomu frowned, but his fingers gently stroked his brother's waist and back, "The doctor said that the twins seem unstable..." Before he finished speaking, Shangguan Haochen had already grabbed Su Yue's hand and pressed it on his belly.
"Sister, touch me—the little guy kicked me just now!"
Suddenly, there was a slight vibration under the palm of my hand, like a butterfly flapping its wings.
Su Yue's nose felt sore and her vision suddenly blurred - this was the first time she felt the presence of the twins.
