Chapter 369: A strange sense of longing
Mu Shuchun gasped. Startled, she turned around. The cold voice shocked her out of the wits. It was so sudden because she thought that there was nobody inside.
Her nervous black orbs met Jinhai’s dark ones. Mu Shuchun was surprised.
Who is this man?
It was the first time that she found another man to be as handsome and beautiful as Shin.
Jinhai had already seen her coming into the room. He was at the corner, pouring himself a glass of water. He narrowed his eyes when this strange woman suddenly stepped in and walked towards his sons. His protective father mode was turned on.
“Y-you…”
His tall stature, cold gaze, and threatening aura around him put an invisible pressure on her that was so terrifying that she thought she might get buried deep in the ground.
“Get away from my sons.” He commanded.
Mu Shuchun widened her eyes.
Sons? He is the father?
She gulped. Beads of sweat formed on her forehead. “I-I was just…”
Suddenly, the bathroom door opened, and Nana stepped out already dressed and drying her hair.
Her gaze fell upon the new woman and Jinhai, who looked ready to take her life at any moment. She didn’t know why.
Nana was surprised for a moment. She politely smiled. “Hello.”
Mu Shuchun was once again surprised to see such a beautiful woman like her. Her beauty was one of a kind.
If she decides to enter the modeling industry, then she would be a huge star in no time… Mu Shuchun wondered to herself.
Not only that, she faintly recognized some resemblance between her and Shin.
Mu Shuchun quickly snapped out of her stupor. “Hello. I am Mu Shuchun. I am…”
She paused, wondering how to introduce herself.
“I am Shin’s friend. We used to study at the same University in Paris.”
Nana’s gaze brightened. “Oh! Big brother’s friend! It’s nice to meet you. My name is Nana. He is my husband, Liu Jinhai.”
Suddenly, the ice in Jinhai’s gaze seemed as if it melted into a warm spring. The temperature returned to normal, which was freezing cold a moment ago. One could even see imaginary flowers blooming around him.
My husband…Nana called me as her husband.
Jinhai’s lips curved into a beautiful smile.
Mu Shuchun was dumbfounded.
What happened? Wasn’t he throwing daggers at me just now? Why the sudden change?
Confused, Mu Shuchun nodded at Nana. She nervously peeked at Jinhai.
“I am sorry for coming inside without your permission. I-I didn’t see anyone when I came in. I just saw the babies, so I…”
Nana laughed. “It’s alright. I don’t mind.”
But your husband minds it! He wanted to kill me!
Nana said, “Why are you still standing? Come, let’s sit on the bed. I will introduce you to the twins.”
She nodded.
Nana pointed at Jian. Jian looked up at his mother and flashed a wide grin.
“Hsjdhh…abooo…”
“He is the elder son, Liu Jian.” She pointed at Nian beside her, who was still sleeping, “This is the younger son, Liu Nian. They are almost twelve days old.”
Mu Shuchun smiled. “En. They are really adorable.”
Nana giggled. “Aren’t they? They are my favorite cutie pies.”
Jinhai felt lonely and ignored, so he went up to his sons too.
Nian woke up as well and started wailing. Following him, Jian begun to cry too.
“Waaaaaa….”
“Guess they are hungry.” Nana smiled.
Last time, Nian was fed first, so it was Jian’s turn today. She didn’t want to feed at the same time. It would get uncomfortable for her, too, as well as the babies.
Until she fed Jian, she needed someone to play with Nian and calm him down.
She glanced at Jinhai. Jinhai nodded. “I will take care of Nian.”
He picked Nian in his arms and started swinging him to make him feel better.
“Booooooo…waaaa…”
Nana said, “Go outside. I will feed Jian till then.”
Jinhai frowned. “I want to be here.”
Nana glared at him.
She was going to breastfeed. How could she let him stay here? Plus, Mu Shuchun was here too. Wouldn’t it look too awkward?
Jinhai tilted his head, and he said with an utmost innocent expression on his face. “It’s not like I haven’t seen them before-“
Nana shot another threatening glance at him, and he shut his mouth.
How dare he say that in front of a guest?
Mu Shuchun coughed hard.
So shameless!
“Leave. Nian will also feel better outside.” Nana ordered.
Jinhai pursed his lips. He grudgingly started to leave. His expression was just as bad as crying Nian.
Mu Shuchun said, “I should leave too…”
“It’s alright if you stay. I don’t mind.”
“Why can she stay and not me?” He whined.
“Are you a woman, Jinhai?” Nana dryly asked.
Mu Shuchun broke out into soft laughter.
Jinhai’s mouth twitched. He had no choice but to leave, so he finally left, carrying Nian with him.
Nana sighed. She sat on the bed and leaned on it. She took Jian, who was crying his lungs out.
“Awww, don’t cry anymore…It’s time for your milk and fill your tummy!”
She positioned Jian properly in her arms. He immediately wrapped his tiny hands around her breast and started sucking on it to drink the delicious milk.
Mu Shuchun curiously looked at the mother-son pair. Jian had shut his eyes and was busy having his meal. Nana was warmly looking at him with a gentle smile on her face, lovingly brushing her hand across his head.
Mu Shuchun felt a little…uncomfortable. Suddenly, she wondered how it would have been if her child…
My child would have been just as adorable, right?
Seeing Nana feed Jian, she felt her motherly instincts arise as if she wanted to breastfeed too…as if she wanted to experience this as well…
Mu Shuchun froze. She never thought that she would feel a sense of longing for her child one day.
She stared at Nana and hesitantly asked, “Can I ask you something?”
Nana smiled. “Sure.”
Mu Shuchun felt nervous. “I apologize. I don’t mean to offend you, but I-I heard about your situation in which you got pregnant. You are so young and were unmarried at that time. Did you…ever think of aborting your child?”
