882 The Child Became an Illegitimate Child
Mu Tianzheng looked at Qin Xi and Mu Min excitedly. His usually serious face was filled with shock, and his voice was trembling. “He was greeting me too. Did you see that? He greeted me before I could get close.”
Qin Xi and Mu Min looked at each other and burst out laughing.
Mu Tianzheng approached her again. Another small b.u.mp appeared on Qin Xi’s stomach. The small b.u.mp moved like a Whack a Mole. It was very cute.
The old man seemed to have found something fun to play with. He put his hand back and forth repeatedly. Qin Xi’s stomach heaved and fell, and the two of them played happily.
Mu Min quickly pulled the old man back and warned in a low voice, “Dad, that’s enough. The child is still young. Aren’t you afraid of exhausting the child? Besides, Xi will feel uncomfortable.”
Only then did Mu Tianzheng react and retract his hand awkwardly. “You two talk. I’ll go to the kitchen to see if that brat is really capable.”
With that, he entered the kitchen with his hands behind his back.
Late at night, neon lights flickered in the capital. Although it was not as prosperous as in the future, it was still bustling with activity.
Qin Xi leaned into Han Shi’s arms and looked at the street outside. She was thinking about her parents in another world. She wondered how her other self was after she left and if she had the ability to protect her family. Also, could the talismans and pills she left behind be of use?
Just as her mind was wandering, Han Shi kissed her cheek gently. “What are you thinking about? You’re so engrossed in your thoughts that you can’t even hear what I’m saying.”
Qin Xi blinked. “What did you say?”
Han Shi sighed and pinched her face. He said solemnly, “The child is already more than five months old. We have to find a time to register our marriage. If we delay any longer, the child will become an illegitimate child.”
“Yes, we’ll get it done when we go back this time!” Qin Xi said.
Now that they had a child, a marriage certificate didn’t seem to be all that important.
Qin Xi did not mind, but not Han Shi, especially since Old Master Mu had been nitpicking on him tonight. If he knew that they had yet to register their marriage, he would probably make things difficult for him again.
He did not want to be on tenterhooks all the time.
“By the way, what were you thinking about just now that made you so absent-minded?” Han Shi asked curiously.
Qin Xi moved and snuggled into Han Shi’s arms, finding a comfortable position. “It’s nothing. I’m just wondering who is going all out to eradicate the entire Mu family. What’s their motive?”
“Aren’t you already prepared? As long as we wait for the other party to come out, everything will be resolved. Why are you thinking so much?” Han Shi touched her soft hair and said softly.
Qin Xi rubbed against his hand. “Yes, I planted a backlash talisman on Second Uncle. There’s also a tracking talisman. I believe it won’t be long before there’s news.”
Han Shi nodded. Neither of them talked about Mu Min because Han Shi knew that Qin Xi did not blame or hate Mu Min at all. She only yeared for motherly love.
After all, she was her biological mother. In the past, Qin Xi yearned for kinship and protection, but she was beaten, scolded, and tortured. Now that she had finally found her biological mother, one could imagine how she felt.
If Qin Xi knew what Han Shi was thinking, she would definitely roll her eyes. If it were the Host, she would definitely look forward to Mu Min’s care and love.
Of course, there was also a possibility that she would resent Mu Min and blame her for losing her.
However, Qin Xi did not feel much. After all, she had grown up under the love and doting of her parents. She did not lack love, so she could not understand how the Host felt.
