Sweet Adorable Wife, Please Kiss Slower! Chapter 1565 - Outside Chapter 1565, Lu Cha and Lu Chi (1)

Lu Cha, seemingly oblivious to Lu Zhanbei’s darkening mood, began to speak with an air of childish gravity. “Daddy didn’t come home until 10 yesterday. Little brother cried so much, and Mommy had to soothe him for a long time. She got so tired she was sweating. Daddy is not a good daddy and not a good husband.”

Lu Zhanbei was rendered speechless.

Lin Wanwan felt a surge of joy seeing her husband bested by their daughter.

Meanwhile, Lu Chi and Mo Jiushang found themselves locked in a silent staring contest.

Lu Chi, having rarely interacted with Mo Jiushang and never having heard him speak, ventured, “Uncle Mo, are you mute?”

!!

Before Mo Jiushang could respond, Lu Chi planted a kiss on his chin. “It’s okay if you can’t talk. Don’t be sad. Baby will take good care of you from now on.”

Mo Jiushang met the boy’s dark, serious phoenix eyes, and a flicker of disbelief, like a ghost sighting, crossed his face. “Okay.”

“Hey, hey, you spoke!”

The sudden utterance startled Little Lu Chi, nearly causing him to tumble. He pointed at Mo Jiushang with mock indignation. “You lied to me! You’re a bad person! I’m not playing with you anymore!”

He then slid down and approached Lu Cha. “Sister, let’s go catch bugs outside.”

Lin Wanwan’s smile faltered. Her gaze fell upon a green caterpillar in the trash can, and she silently pressed her hand to her forehead.

Lu Cha turned her head away. “I’m not going.”

“Sister…”

“Sister…”

“Queen…”

These plaintive, coaxing pleas struck a chord with Lin Wanwan and Lu Zhanbei, who watched with a mixture of helplessness and amusement.

They couldn’t help but feel that the children’s genders seemed reversed.

Overwhelmed by his younger brother’s persistence, Lu Cha finally relented. She hopped down from her mother’s lap, placed her hands on her hips, and stated expressionlessly, “I can agree, but you absolutely cannot bother Mom to tell you stories tonight. She is truly exhausted. She still has some important things to do with Dad that we children aren’t privy to.”

“…” Lin Wanwan covered her face, wishing the ground would swallow her whole.

It was all Lu Zhanbei’s fault!

There was one instance where they had forgotten to close the bedroom door, and the children had witnessed them kissing. When questioned about it, Lu Zhanbei had simply said they were too young to understand for now.

While Lin Wanwan felt a flush of embarrassment and annoyance, Lu Zhanbei affectionately patted his daughter’s braids, affirming, “Cha Cha is so well-behaved.”

Lu Cha then led her younger brother out to the garden, their receding laughter still audible.

Lu Zhanbei observed Mo Jiushang’s gaze lingering on the departing siblings. “If you’re feeling envious, you could find a woman and have a child of your own.”

“Having a child is too exhausting.”

“And yet, when you were having children, did you not find it quite pleasant?”

“I felt quite good indeed.”

Without another word, she started the car.

Lin Wanwan, ever the kind and upright wife, quickly turned and headed upstairs. “…,” she ascended the stairs.

“Jiushang, do you truly intend to spend your entire life alone?”

“Why not?”

“Then do you still recall the woman who had the police arrest you?”

“Ji Ning.”

Lu Zhanbei’s eyebrows twitched; he was acutely aware of the depth of Mo Jiushang’s animosity towards her.

Five years had passed, and Mo Jiushang had not sought out any other woman. Could it be he still harbored feelings for Ji Ning?

“If you wish to find her, it’s a simple matter.”

“I’m too lazy to look for her.”

Gazing at the man resting his head on one hand, eyes closed, Lu Zhanbei shook his head and ceased his attempts at persuasion.

Just then, Mo Jiushang’s phone rang. He briefly checked the caller ID before answering, “Hello.”

Lu Zhanbei noted a momentary, almost imperceptible shift in Mo Jiushang’s expression before the call abruptly ended.

“I must take my leave now.”

“Is something the matter?”

“My sisters have arrived.”

Despite their decade-long acquaintance, Lu Zhanbei remained ignorant of Mo Jiushang’s background, as he had never felt the need to probe.
