Chapter 530: Mom and Dad are here!

Over here.

Lin Mo and Re Ba had just gotten home.

The doorbell rang.

Ding-dong—

Lin Mo opened the door to see Yang Mi standing energetically at the doorway, holding a delicate paper bag.

"Boss Yang, you're fast!" Lin Mo raised an eyebrow.

"Of course!" Yang Mi smiled, came in, and headed straight to the living room: "As soon as I heard the news, I rushed over from the company!"

On the sofa, Re Ba was hugging a pillow while watching TV; Yang Mi walked over and set the paper bag on the coffee table: "Here, the yogurt dumplings you wanted!"

Seeing the yogurt dumplings, Re Ba's eyes lit up; just as she started to get up, Yang Mi called out: "Don't move, don't move—you're now a key protection target!"

"Pfft—" Lin Mo couldn't hold back his laughter.

Re Ba also couldn't help laughing: "Sis Mi, I'm only seven weeks along—there's no need for such exaggeration~"

Lin Mo took the paper bag and teased: "Boss Yang's got such a show—people might think our Re Ba is about to give birth!" He skillfully opened the wrapper and handed Re Ba a piece.

"Mmm… that's the flavor!" Re Ba squinted her eyes in satisfaction, like a kitten that's just stolen a fish.

She hadn't had any in over a week, and she'd been craving it badly these past two days.

"Eat slowly," Lin Mo ruffled her hair, saying, "No more than three or four pieces a day—too much will cause acid reflux."

"Right, right, Boss Lin's right—on the way over I even looked it up: online says yogurt dumplings are a fermented dairy product, rich in calcium and protein, good for pregnant women's bones and fetal development, but don't overdo it, just three or four pieces as Boss Lin said!" Yang Mi also quickly added.

She had almost forgotten to mention it, but on the way Yang Mi had indeed looked it up specially.

Re Ba nibbled the yogurt dumplings bit by bit, then lifted her head at the words: "I know, I know—when did you two become so naggy?" She blinked her eyes, deliberately drawing out the syllables: "Doctor Lin~ Nurse Yang~"

Yang Mi was amused by her: "Of course—I'm the baby's godmother!"

In the evening, naturally Lin Mo did the cooking.

He always knows how to cook; usually, though, it's Re Ba who does it.

Now that Re Ba is pregnant, of course she can't go into the kitchen, lest the smells make her uncomfortable.

The two of them sat on the sofa chatting about all sorts of baby-related topics.

In the kitchen, Lin Mo heard their conversation and almost burst out laughing.

Yang Mi herself isn't married and has no kids, yet she's talking about it with great authority.

The next day.

Lin Mo's parents' flight was at 1:30 p. m.

He and Re Ba specially went to pick up the two elders.

Re Ba's parents also came, but their flight was a bit later.

Outside the airport passageway.

From far away, Lin Mo saw his mother pushing a suitcase toward him, with his father behind her.

"Dad, Mom!"

Lin Mo waved and called out to them.

As for Re Ba,

she didn't come out of the car.

Mainly because Re Ba's face is too recognizable.

It's easy for people to spot her.

Lin Mo, though—don't think that just because he's an international big‑shot director now, wearing sunglasses means many people can recognize him.

"Where's Re Ba?" Lin Mo's mother asked, curious since she hadn't seen Re Ba.

"She's in the car," Lin Mo explained with a laugh. "With so many people around, if she got recognized, a crowd would swarm her and she wouldn't be able to leave."

"Right, right—I'd completely forgotten about that!"

Lin Mo's mother patted her head and said.

Her own daughter‑in‑law is a big star, and she'd forgotten that.

Lin Mo naturally took his mother's luggage, then put an arm around her shoulder, ready to leave the airport.

At that moment, his father asked: "When are Re Ba's parents arriving?"

"Their flight is at 9:30 p. m., so it's still early!"

"Oh, I see!"

Lin Mo chatted and laughed with his parents as they left the airport.

After putting the luggage in the trunk and getting in the car, he saw his mother chatting animatedly with Re Ba.

"Re Ba, why does your face look a little pale? Didn't you rest well?" Lin Mo's mother asked, holding Re Ba's hand with concern.

"Huh? No?"

Re Ba blinked in surprise.

Lin Mo, meanwhile, laughed and said: "My mom—she just hasn't seen you in a while, like how every time I go home she says I've gotten thinner!"

Hearing that, Re Ba immediately understood and gave a sweet smile: "Mom, I've rested plenty~"

No sooner had she spoken than the car went over a speed bump, and Re Ba suddenly frowned.

Lin Mo's mother immediately sensed it: "Are you feeling nauseous?" She quickly pulled out an embroidered cloth pouch from her bag: "Smell this—our hometown's dried tangerine‑peel plum, a cure for motion‑sickness and morning sickness!"

Re Ba took it half‑believing, and as she brought it close she exclaimed: "Hey, it really helps a lot!"

"Of course!" Lin Mo's mother laughed. "When I was pregnant with this kid, I relied on this to keep going!"

Then she quickly added: "By the way, what smells can't you stand right now? I'll keep an eye out."

Re Ba gave an embarrassed smile: "Mainly it's the fumes from cooking oil…"

"From today on, you're not allowed to enter the kitchen at home!" Lin Mo's mother declared firmly, then she added: "Your father's cooking skills are hereditary; from now on let him take charge of the wok!"

Lin Mo's father straightened his back: "Tell Dad what you want to eat, Dad can make anything!"

Just kidding.

Men, especially Sichuan men, are top-notch cooks.

Then Lin Mo's mother started creating a customized menu for Re Ba.

Lin Mo and Re Ba exchanged a helpless look, he muttered softly: "See? From now on we have to eat according to the Empress Dowager's edict."

Re Ba pursed her lips and hid a smile, but her heart felt warm.

She lowered her head and gently stroked her belly, thinking that the little one, even before being born, was already surrounded by so much love—truly the happiest baby in the world.
