Chapter 122: Maternal Love

One year later.

“Congratulations, Mr. Bai Yue, all five of your wives have given birth to lovely babies.”

“R-really? Are my wives all right?”

“Rest assured, they all had natural deliveries with no complications; just let them rest quietly for a few days and they’ll fully recover.”

“That’s wonderful! Thank you, Doctor. Can I see them now?”

“Yes.”

“Great!”

With the doctor’s permission, Bai Yue could no longer contain his excitement and rushed straight to the premium ward, eager to see his wives and children.

When he arrived at the ward, he saw his five wives seated quietly on their beds, while Bai Yun was carefully checking their physical conditions.

Xiao Yue, in her adult form, had placed each baby in a smart infant carriage, each with a small wristband labeled with their birth time and parents’ names.

She also gently used a health monitor to check each baby’s condition and recorded the data.

Bai Yue first approached Luo Li and the others, smiling: “My dears, you’ve worked so hard.”

Luo Li and the others shook their heads with smiles, indicating it was no trouble.

Then Bai Yue walked over to the smart infant carriages to look at his children.

There were ten children total: Luo Li gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl; Kanao Tsuyuri gave birth to twin girls; Shinobu Kocho gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl; Kanzuki Mitsuji gave birth to twin girls; and Kamado Nezuko surprisingly gave birth to twin boys.

Bai Yun marveled at how powerful her brother’s genes were—almost every sister-in-law had given birth to two children, either twins or boy-girl twins.

Looking at the ten adorable little angels, as if carved from gold and jade, Bai Yue could not suppress his joy and picked up one of the babies.

Beside him, Xiao Yue gazed at the babies in the carriages, her eyes filled with envy.

But at that moment, Xiao Yue noticed a new stream of data appearing in her brain system—a new program had formed.

Xiao Yue was puzzled; it wasn’t something she had loaded herself, but had auto-generated, and it bore a name: 【Maternal Love】.

Xiao Yue stared at the program, her eyes wide with astonishment. Maternal love? To her, an artificial life, it was both alien and astonishing.

“Master, a new program has appeared in Xiao Yue’s system.”

“Really?” Bai Yue was surprised. “What does this program do?”

“I don’t know, I only know its name is 【Maternal Love】.”

“Maternal love?” Bai Yue glanced at his children, then at Xiao Yue, and immediately understood the gist.

He turned back to look at his wives, as if seeking approval for something.

Luo Li and the others seemed to share the same thought, each nodding slightly, indicating no objection.

Xiao Yue, thinking they disliked the program, quickly spoke: “I-it’s fine, Master—if you don’t like this program, I can delete it right away.”

But that wasn’t the case.

Bai Yue gently set down his child, walked to Xiao Yue, and softly asked: “Xiao Yue… would you like to be a mother?”

“Huh? M-master, I’m just a robot. I’m very happy to do that thing with you, and I really want to do that thing with you, but I—I can’t… I can’t give birth to your babies.”

“...” Bai Yue felt a bead of sweat form. He had a feeling Xiao Yue’s system still carried some strange other programs.

He gave her a gentle tap on the forehead and said again: “What are you thinking? I mean, would you like to be the babies’ mother?”

“O-oh… that’s what you meant… I misunderstood… hahaha…” Xiao Yue felt deeply embarrassed, as if her toes could dig out a three-bedroom apartment from the floor, yet a quiet sadness lingered inside.

“Master… can I really be the babies’ mother?”

“Of course.”

Upon receiving his affirmation, Xiao Yue’s heart leapt, and the program named 【Maternal Love】 activated automatically, filling her mind with knowledge on infant care and parenting.

“Is this what great maternal love feels like?”

As she pondered, one of the babies suddenly began to cry. Xiao Yue instinctively stepped forward and gently picked up the child.

Miraculously, the crying baby fell silent, then grinned with a toothless smile, waving tiny hands in the air.

Holding the baby, Xiao Yue’s maternal love program spun at high speed; she rocked the child gently, humming a soft, tender lullaby.

A halo of something called maternal radiance emanated from her.

Bai Yue and his wives watched this scene, their faces breaking into joyful, heartwarming smiles.

Bai Yun teased: “Looks like the babies all love Mama Xiao Yue—there’ll be plenty to do from now on~” The other babies, seemingly touched, began cooing and babbling as if responding to her.

Xiao Yue held the baby, her eyes brimming with tenderness. She knew this emotion called maternal love would let her protect these precious little lives in a new way—and would warm this entire family even more.

…………

Several months later.

At night, Nezuko brought a cup of warm milk to Bai Yue’s room, placed it on the table, then tenderly massaged his shoulders to relieve his fatigue.

Bai Yue put down his work, pulled Nezuko into his arms, and asked gently: “Is something troubling you?”

“I… I want to…”

“You want to visit your family?”

“Mm.”

Nezuko nodded, lifting her eyes to meet Bai Yue’s.

It had been years since she last returned home; she missed her family dearly, but had never dared to tell Bai Yue.

After all, he had so much work—always busy from morning till night.

Seeing Nezuko’s hopeful gaze, Bai Yue’s heart softened.

“Alright, I’ll go with you. I was already planning to take this time off—let’s bring Kanao and the others too,” Bai Yue said gently.

Nezuko’s eyes sparkled with surprise; she hadn’t expected Bai Yue to agree so readily.

“But your work…” Nezuko looked at him with concern.

Bai Yue gently stroked her hair and smiled: “No matter how important work is, you matter more. I’ll arrange everything—don’t worry.”

Nezuko rushed into Bai Yue’s arms, tears welling in her eyes.

“Thank you, husband,” she whispered.

Bai Yue held Nezuko tightly, feeling the warmth of her delicate body.

Unconsciously, Nezuko’s breathing grew slightly faster, her heartbeat quickened.

“Husband… tonight… I… I want to rest with you.”

“Mm.”

Then Bai Yue carried Nezuko to his bed.

Rustle, rustle~

Soon, the room filled with suggestive, intimate sounds.
