On June 1st.
Feng Yunshu was woken up early in the morning by a childish voice, "Mother, Mother..."
As soon as she opened her eyes, a chubby and lovely face like a peeled egg came into view. Dudu opened her big, bright eyes and looked at Feng Yunshu full of expectation.
"Dudu, what's up? You woke up so early. Why don't you sleep a little longer?" Feng Yunshu yawned, rubbed her sleepy eyes, and picked up her daughter who had just learned to walk a few days ago.
"Hey, Miss, don't move! Let Ziyuan do it!"
Just then, Ziyuan, still dressed like a middle - aged woman, rushed forward and snatched Dudu from Feng Yunshu before she could hold her.
"Miss, you're pregnant now. The first three months are especially important. You can't be careless! Kids like to be naughty. If there's any bump, it'll be a big deal..."
Ziyuan looked at Feng Yunshu with a worried face and couldn't help giving a lecture like an old mother.
Seeing her frowning and looking so nervous, Feng Yunshu couldn't help smiling. "I'm fine. Ziyuan, you don't need to be so nervous. You know I'm not like those delicate noble ladies. Although I'm pregnant, I can still go and fight demons."
"Miss..." Ziyuan was speechless.
Feng Yunshu poked Dudu's cheek. "Dudu, tell mother what's the matter?"
"Mother..." Dudu's chubby little hand grabbed Feng Yunshu's finger. "Dudu heard that today is our kids' festival. Did mother prepare any gifts for Dudu?"
"Gifts... Well, mother secretly tells you that your father has prepared a super - duper surprise gift for you!"
"Really?!" Dudu's eyes instantly sparkled with gold light. "What gift did father prepare for Dudu?"
"Shh, mother has to keep it a secret now. It'll only be a surprise when your father tells you himself."
"Okay then..."
Dudu nodded obediently after hearing that. "Where is father now?"
"Your father is dealing with important matters. He'll surely give Dudu a surprise when he comes back to the mansion!"
"Great! Hee - hee, then Dudu will wait for daddy's surprise..."
Looking at her daughter who was easily deceived, Feng Yunshu couldn't help complaining in her heart. Was Dudu's simple mind really inherited from her?
Wasn't she tricked back to the prince's mansion by the prince's sweet talk back then? It was all because her will was not firm enough. Otherwise, she would surely have a position in the fairy world and live a carefree life. Who would have thought that she would be tortured once again...
Feng Yunshu looked down silently at her slightly bulging belly. Although she was complaining, her eyes and eyebrows were full of tenderness and love, overflowing with a happy smile.
She hoped that this baby would be a cute little boy, preferably looking like the prince, a mini - version of Helan Yanting. How cute that would be.
It was almost lunchtime when Helan Yanting rushed back in a hurry, carrying big and small bulging paper bags in each hand.
When Dudu saw her daddy coming back with things, she was so excited that she walked forward quickly. Since she had just learned to walk, her steps were still a bit wobbly. Suddenly, she was tripped by something and was about to fall to the ground. Helan Yanting took a quick step forward and caught his daughter steadily.
"Daddy, you're finally back! Dudu has been waiting for you for a long time!"
On the side, Feng Yunshu looked at the father - daughter pair, and a gentle smile appeared on her face unconsciously. "My lord, why did you come back so late today? Dudu has been waiting for you for a long time."
"Hmm?" Helan Yanting looked at Feng Yunshu in confusion, then at Dudu. "Why has Dudu been waiting for daddy? Is there something you want to tell daddy?"
"Hmm?" Dudu was stunned for a moment, then pointed at the big and small bags in Helan Yanting's hands. "Daddy, didn't you go to prepare gifts for Dudu because today is our kids' festival? Aren't these for Dudu?"
Helan Yanting looked down at the bags in his hands and was also stunned for a moment. Then he smiled and put the things on the table.
"These are really not for Dudu, but daddy has prepared a gift for Dudu separately."
"Ah?" Dudu was obviously a bit disappointed. "These weren't bought for Dudu? Then what are they?"
Helan Yanting untied the ropes of the big and small kraft paper bags, and a strong smell of pastries, as well as deep - fried cakes and a whole beggar's chicken, wafted out.
Seeing the food on the table, Feng Yunshu was stunned.
"My lord, what... Why did you buy so much food for no reason?" As she said, Feng Yunshu silently swallowed her saliva. Although she was already a mother of one child and was about to be a mother of two, Feng Yunshu still couldn't change her "talent" of being a glutton.
"Wow, so much food!" Dudu walked to the table and stood on tiptoe to look at the food.
Helan Yanting picked up his daughter in his arms, looked up at Feng Yunshu, and gently smiled with pursed lips. "You're still asking. You were talking in your sleep all night last night. You were smacking your lips and shouting about these foods, beggar's chicken, deep - fried cakes..."
"What? I... My lord, you said I was talking in my sleep?" Feng Yunshu was stunned after hearing that. "It can't be..."
"Why not? It's as if I've been abusing you on weekdays. You're even eating in your dreams." Helan Yanting couldn't help laughing. "I remembered all the foods you mentioned in your dream last night. I went out early in the morning to find these foods for you. They're all from your favorite shops."
"So, my lord, you came back so late because you went to find these foods?" Feng Yunshu looked at the still - steaming beggar's chicken on the table. She didn't know why, but her eyes suddenly got wet, as if the steam was getting into her eyes.
Seeing this, Helan Yanting reached out to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes. "There's delicious food. Why are you crying? Did I buy the wrong things?"
Feng Yunshu quickly shook her head. Her voice was still a bit choked. She turned to look at him with glistening tears in her eyes. "My lord, it's all your fault for being so good to me... These are tears of emotion. I'm not unhappy. I'm very happy..."
As she said, Feng Yunshu couldn't help reaching out to hug Helan Yanting. So, Dudu was stuck between her parents and was instantly stunned. For some reason, she suddenly felt that her existence was extremely redundant.
"Daddy, mother, could you... Let Dudu down first?"
Dudu's childish voice weakly sounded between the two.
Feng Yunshu came back to her senses. With tears still glistening in her eyes, she couldn't help laughing.
"Is our Dudu a bit disappointed?"
She pinched her daughter's chubby little cheek. "Actually, mother has already prepared a big surprise gift for Dudu. I just didn't tell you on purpose. Come on, Dudu, open your eyes wide and watch carefully. Mother will perform a magic trick for you!"
There was a glint of light in Dudu's big eyes again. "Really? What magic trick will mother perform?!"
"Three, two, one... Change!"
Feng Yunshu pretended to rummage in her sleeve, and finally a snow - white little fox suddenly appeared in her hand. There was a red mark on the little fox's forehead.
"Wow! Such a cute little cat... Mother, is this for Dudu?"
"Dudu, this is not a little cat. It's a little fox. Do you like it?"
"Little fox?!" Dudu was even more excited. "Wow! Dudu likes it so much! The little fox is so cute! Dudu likes small animals the most!"
At the same time, a shocked shout from Xiaoling came from a blessed land in the Three Realms. "Bai Yuanyuan, your daughter is missing!"
