Chapter 574: You said it yourself, I am your pride

Whenever An Yinan and the others returned, the two children would immediately whimper and whine, as if they had suffered some great grievance.

As their uncle, would he really mistreat them?

One by one, in front of their parents, they were putting in a bad word for him.

If he were to return now, how would these children be taken care of?

Yun Zhi even felt anxious for them.

"They say whoever holds the baby first, the baby's temper and disposition will be like theirs."

An Yinan would always reply indifferently, and in the end, she would turn to ask Chen Xun, "Our baby, who held them first?"

Chen Xun, that wife-slave, immediately pointed at Yun Zhi, "Him."

Babysitting for them, being fed dog food in various ways day after day wasn't enough, and now he was being accused like this; who could he go to for justice?

As usual, upon returning home, An Yinan quickly cleaned herself up and then pulled her little girl into her arms.

The little girl was crying until her eyes were a bit red; she was hungry, and she could always eat on time.

But today, it was late.

Knowing her children's temperaments, An Yinan had originally calculated the time well, but performing acupuncture on Zhang Pangzi was also something that had to be done; she couldn't just stand by and watch someone die.

And so, the little girl felt wronged and wailed, the kind that no one could coax.

It wasn't until she smelled the familiar scent of milk that the little girl slowly calmed down; Yun Zhi had been coaxing her until he broke into a sweat.

"This girl of yours is much more formidable than Dabao..."

Once, when Nan Nan was a little late, Dabao just grunted and groaned; he was nothing like this girl, who was practically ready to turn the world upside down.

An Yinan carried the child into the bedroom, first washed her little face, and then tapped her tiny nose tip, "Cry then, you're hungry, aren't you? Just hold on."

"If you cry, you can't drink milk; you have to wait. Poor little Xiaobao, you'll just have to be hungry."

An Yinan said indifferently. Crying couldn't solve problems. She knew her child was too young to understand, but these words were to remind herself.

She was afraid...

That her own heart would soften.

"Hiccup~" But the little girl just blew a bubble, let out a hiccup, and then with a look of grievance, she pouted her lips, but simply refused to cry.

That look...

An Yinan even suspected whether this little thing could understand what she was saying.

She was a soul from another world and had the Peace Knot Space within her, although she hadn't used it for a long time.

As she grew stronger, the frequency with which she used the space had become less and less.

However...

The Peace Knot transformed the body, and it didn't just transform her own; when these two little things were gestating, the Peace Knot naturally transformed their bodies too.

But...

To be able to understand speech at such a young age, was that a bit exaggerated?

For her children, she only hoped they could grow up healthy and safe. As long as they walked the straight and narrow, that was enough. Her own wishes, she would exhaust all her strength to fulfill herself, rather than handing them down to the next generation and letting them carry the burden forward.

"Sob sob sob." The little girl made sounds in her mouth, her little lips moving as she made a sucking motion...

An Yinan checked the time...

Then she picked up the little girl and fed her.

It was no wonder Yun Zhi said these two children were like little foxes; weren't they just little foxes?

As if afraid she would leave, the little girl grabbed her clothes tightly. Just as she was about to pull them away, the little girl moved, sleeping somewhat restlessly.

"Xiaobao~ Mommy is busy, wait until Mommy is done." An Yinan kissed her forehead, and looking at the fair, tender child, her heart softened into a pool of water.

The sense of attachment that comes after a child is born is completely different from the illusory feeling of pregnancy.

Now, hearing the child's cry, seeing the child's eyes, and those fair, tender little hands, she could feel the softness in her heart.

"Nan Nan, it's time to go." Chen Xun knocked on the door, looking at Nan Nan, who was staring at the child, and sensing her reluctance.

"After this mission, we will return to Beijing." Chen Xun said firmly.

An Yinan turned back and hugged Chen Xun's waist, "Xunge, I am not a good mother."

Rarely, she had also become sentimental.

Chen Xun immediately held her tighter, "Nan Nan, you are a good mother. It was you who carried them for ten months, gestating and protecting them."

"You have your great love for the country and the people; we admire this side of you, and we are gratified to have a you like this."

"Nan Nan, you are very good. Whether it is for the country or for our small family, you have already done your best."

Chen Xun was a man of few words, but at this moment, he was firmly affirming her.

The embrace holding her was so tight that it left her no space or time for her thoughts to wander.

"Sigh, what should I do?" An Yinan tilted her head, watching Xiaobao sleeping sweetly.

She, too, had her own circumstances beyond her control.

Since she knew the future, she could not bear to see corpses piling up here, where even the trash heaps weren't as high as the piles of bodies, and people were in a state of panic...

She...

As a mother, she seemed to have been selfish.

"What are you thinking about?" Chen Xun flicked her forehead, drawing her gaze over.

"You said it yourself, I am your pride."

"Nan Nan, you have always been the pride of our family."

Chen Xun kissed her forehead.

Niya had said that women who are pregnant or have just given birth are prone to getting stuck in a rut and are also prone to emotional outbursts. He had been waiting for it, but his wife's emotions were simply too stable, leaving him no chance to comfort her.

But he was also fortunate; he had even specifically gone to the hospital to find Niya and tell her about Nan Nan's situation.

Niya said this was her own sense of security.

Letting her stay within her own Regional Economics, she would not have moments of emotional breakdown.

However, some people's emotional breakdowns are not expressed so outwardly; instead, they carry hidden attributes that very few people can discover.

But by the time they are discovered, the dam has already burst, and it is very difficult to repair.

Chen Xun saw An Yinan's appearance and gently rubbed her hair, "Don't cry, Xiaobao will laugh at you."

"Xiaobao and Dabao both like you so much, they love you so much."

Each sentence of soft soothing calmed An Yinan's emotions; she was actually not experiencing postpartum emotions.

In her past life, she was an orphan with no parents and no offspring.

Transmigrating in this life, she only had Beibei as a relative, and later she had the Yun Family and the Chen Family.

Yet..., she had learned how to interact with her elders, but she did not know how to interact with the younger generation.

Even though these were her children.

An Yinan buried her head in Chen Xun's embrace, "I'm fine now."

Her emotions came quickly and went quickly.

She thought it had nothing to do with postpartum, but in reality, how could it have nothing to do with it?

It was just what she thought.

When a woman is pregnant and gives birth, her body produces a large amount of hormones; the ebb and flow of these hormones control a woman's emotions and make her state of mind unstable, especially regarding the things she cares about most.

"Are you two not going today?" Yun Zhi knocked on the door, watching the couple who hadn't come out for so long; he looked at the clock on the wall, as every day at this time, the two of them would have already left.

Did something happen today?

He was also worried, which is why he came to knock on the door.
