Chapter 322 Extra 2: The Son Grows Up

Shen Muyu was born in a rather cold winter.
This child, who inherited the excellent genes of his parents, combined the delicate features of Lou Qingyu and the deep contours of Shen Ziyi. From the moment he was born, he was loved by countless elders, such as grandparents, great-grandmother, great-grandfather, and so on.
From the moment he was born, he had several titles: the kid on this street, the kid next door, the cutest kid in the neighborhood!
Every time his grandparents or great-grandmother took him for a walk in the park, they would appear to be taking him out for a stroll, but in reality, the elders were secretly showing off to their nearby friends.
"Ah, Lao Chen, out for another stroll?" Mr. Shen's father called out with a smile, stopping his old friend who was trying to pretend he hadn't seen him not far away.
"Yeah..." Lao Chen, knowing he couldn't escape, had a somewhat wooden expression.
"Lao Chen, take a look at my adorable grandson. I bought him this little yellow duck. Isn't it cute? I heard that kids nowadays like this kind of thing. When will your child bring one home for you, too?"
"I, I'm not in a hurry." Faintly, you could hear the sound of Lao Chen grinding his teeth.
"Oh, really? Not being in a hurry is indeed a good thing, unlike me, who has been eager to hold my grandson for a long time. Look, I'm already holding him!" As he said this, Sheng's father smiled, his eyes narrowing into a slit, and he continued to play with Sheng Muyu in the car, holding a small rubber duck.
The soft and sweet voice of Yiyiya made Old Chen feel a bit sour. He was even more irritated by a certain friend who was deliberately showing off his grandson. Hmph, what's so great about it? It's just, just... having a grandson!
In addition, the birth of Shen Muyu has led to another event.
After the full moon, Shen Muyu became more exquisite, with a milky white and tender skin like milk, and a pair of beautiful obsidian-like eyes that resemble his mother's. He looks like a delicate and beautiful doll that everyone would admire.
Moreover, unlike his two unaffectionate and not smiling parents, Shen Muyu is a baby who loves to smile.
As long as someone makes him laugh, he will burst into laughter in the next second, with a constant "giggle" sound, his smiling face is as warm as the sun, and it has won the love of many people, including his godmother Xi Yue.
"Oh my goodness, Little Muyu is so cute when he smiles!"
"Oh my goodness, how can he be this adorable?!"
"Little Muyu is really really really too cute!!!"
Xiyue's eyes sparkled with brightness as she stared fixedly at the soft little bundle in Xiaoyumao's arms, whether it was the sleeping Shen Muyu or the fluttering Shen Muyu. She could!
Especially when seeing Shen Muyu's smiling face, his eyes curved like a sweet cake, Xiaotuanzi was almost lost in fascination.
"If you like him so much, why don't you have one yourself?" Lou Qingyu teased her friend with a smile.
I don't know what's going on. My good friend has been dating Xia Ziran for five or six years, and Xia Ziran has even proposed a few times during that period. But this guy, Xi Yue, I have no idea what he's thinking, he has been hesitant and hasn't agreed.
"Give birth..."
Xi Yue suddenly had a gleam in her eyes, seemingly struck by a thought. She stood up abruptly from the couch and said, "That's actually a great idea!"
Before Lou Qingyu could ask her friend what she meant, Xi Yue didn't say another word and quickly left with her bag. Her hurried departure seemed to be related to the idea she had just mentioned.
It is indeed relevant.
Because the next day, Lou Qingyu heard the news that Xi Yue and Xia Ziran got their marriage certificate.
It is said that Xi Yue took the initiative to take Xia Ziran to the Civil Affairs Bureau. Many relatives and friends were so happy when they heard this news. Xi Yue finally figured it out!
Only Lou Qingyu knows clearly what's going on.
Xia Ziran didn't know at first what the reason was, because from the moment Xi Yue enthusiastically took him to the Civil Affairs Bureau, enthusiastically took him to the hotel, enthusiastically organized their wedding, to afterwards enthusiastically buying pregnancy tests every day.
Such an active Xiyue naturally aroused Xia Ziran's suspicion, and in his deliberately persuasive conversation, Xiyue unconsciously let slip a secret.
Upon learning that Xiyue married him for the sole purpose of having a child, Xia Ziran's face instantly turned half black. However, he dare not say anything to his pregnant wife.
Every time I come to Lou Qingyu's house with Xi Yue, I can't help but glare at the smiling Shen Muyu. No matter how I look at him, I just can't stand him. How did this guy bewitch my own wife?!
This is not over yet. Xiyue prayed to the heavens every day during her pregnancy, "Daughter, I want a daughter, a lovely and adorable daughter! Because only a daughter can marry Xiaomuyu and have cute children together!!"
Whispering softly can't suppress the excitement and thrill.
And Xia Ziran naturally also knew about Xie Yue wanting a child. Regarding whether the baby is a boy or a girl, Xia Ziran wasn't very concerned, but he cared more about Xie Yue's emotions during pregnancy.
Finally, Xi Yue got her wish and had a cute and soft daughter.
After Xi Yue finished her postpartum recovery, she quickly came over with her own daughter, "Little Feather, isn't my little bell adorable?"
After Xia Ziran learned that his wife wanted a daughter, a certain sinister man's face turned cold again. He had an even worse expression for someone who not only stole his wife but also wanted to steal his daughter.
By the time Shen Muyu was eight or nine years old, he had transformed from a soft and squishy little bundle into a handsome and sunny young boy. Inheriting his parents' excellent genes, he charmed countless grandmothers, aunties, sisters, and ladies on this street.
Moreover, this good-looking and elegant young man is not only approachable, but always wears a bright smile on his fair face. He often says heartwarming words to make his elders happy!
Even Xi Yue couldn't help but make a joke to her friend, saying, "Little feather, you two have given birth to a little sun, huh?"
Upon hearing this joke, Lou Qingyu laughed and replied, "So you two have given birth to a little moon, then?"
Speaking of our daughter Xia Yutong, Xie Yue also feels a bit helpless. She doesn't know who Xia Yutong's personality resembles. At such a young age, her personality is quite cold. Whether facing her parents, elders, or strangers, her expression is somewhat indifferent.
Only when Shen Muyu purposely makes her laugh, Xia Yutong would show a smile on her face. Xi Yue sighed softly, "I can see now, your little wooden fish can keep our little bell warm."
Shen Muyu has a personality like a little sun, although he is different from his parents, he still inherits his mother's ability to remember everything and his super learning talent. Under the influence of the two, Shen Muyu has developed an interest in baking and appraising treasures.
At a very young age, he often wore a pure white baking uniform, and in the child-sized kitchen his father built for him, he made cakes and bread under his mother's guidance every day. Whenever he brought out the finished products from the kitchen, he presented them to the elders with elegance, just like a little prince, and won the admiration of many female elders.
Only the elders have always praised his bread cake more than objectively evaluated, even Grandpa Chen Lin, Mom's master, is the same. The little boy couldn't help but wonder.
"Mom, can I become a great pastry chef like you?" Within his identical pair of black eyes, there was a profound admiration and trust towards Lou Qingyu. Shen Muyu straightened his back, as if seeking affirmation from Lou Qingyu.
At this moment, Lou Qingyu, who has become a legendary master in the Chinese baking world, gently touched the boy's head with a smile. "As long as you're willing to persist and keep your original intention, Mom believes that you can do it."
The little boy believed in his mother's words and was determined to continue on the path of baking.
Looking at her son's determined face, Lou Qingyu's eyes filled with a smile. It didn't matter whether her child chose to become a baker like her; what mattered most was that he enjoyed it.
It is still unknown which profession a child, who is only nine years old now, will choose in the future. Maybe they will become a pastry chef, or perhaps they will learn from their father to become an antique appraiser. Alternatively, they could follow in the footsteps of their cousin, Zuo Lingfeng, and become a detective solving cases in China.
It really makes people look forward to it!
