Chapter 736

A year later.

“Ring ring—”

Early in the morning, while Ji Nuan was still snuggled between the sheets with a pillow in her arms, her phone began to ring.

She felt around for her phone with barely opened eyes. Three words were displayed on the screen above the alarm clock reminder: “Feed the babies.”

This was an automatic reminder set on her phone for every morning. The two babies needed to be fed 150 milliliters of either milk powder or breastmilk after waking up each day.

The Mo family had specially hired a nutritionist for them. According to the two babies’ weight and condition, they were scheduled for fixed amounts of milk at specific times. Apparently, alternating between milk powder and breastmilk in this manner would be beneficial for the twins’ development.

However, this reminder often only functioned to wake Ji Nuan up…

It had been three months since Mo Jinan and Mo Jinning had been born. Unless it was necessary for her to hold the babies to breastfeed them, the people at home barely allowed her to do any work.

Mrs. Wan Zhu had specially flown over from Los Angeles to personally take care of the two babies for more than two months. Recently, she had no choice but to return to America to settle some issues, but there was still a nanny that Grandfather Mo had arranged staying at their home. Furthermore, with Auntie Chen around, it was impossible for anyone to lack help.

An An and Ning Ning’s names were given by Elder Mo. The elder only hoped for the little babies to grow up healthily, safely[1] and peacefully[2]. On the day the two little ones were born, when he learnt that it was a pair of twin brother and sister, the old man had held onto his crutches outside the delivery room and cried emotionally. He barely slept for the first few days and only sat by the bedside to watch the two little ones as they ate and slept. He could not bear to close his eyes for even a second.

Originally, when the elder had learned that Ji Nuan was pregnant, he was already filled with joy. He had proclaimed that, no matter if it was a boy or a girl, he would love the child just as much. Who would have thought that this Ji brat would be pregnant with two children, and she would immediately give birth to both a boy and a girl. The elder immediately seemed to have grown younger by twenty years.

An An was the elder brother, and he was born half a minute earlier than Ning Ning. When the two little ones were born, they appeared especially small. Yet, in the past three months, they both ate well and slept well and had now become cute and chubby. Their appearance charmed everybody into doting them. Aside from crying softly when they were hungry, most of the time, they were especially obedient and barely caused any trouble. Even though they were clearly small and clueless, whenever an adult held them and teased them, the two would smile brightly. As a result, the entire Mo family treated these little ones like treasures. They were unbelievably fond of the children.

It was not only the Mo family. Even the Ji family and Xiao family could not resist making frequent visits to the Yu Garden to visit the children. Ji Nuan did not refuse or stop them. After all, although she had the right to choose her own father, she did not have the right to choose the children’s grandfathers for them. Besides, there was nothing wrong with having two grandfathers. They both treated the children equally well; there was nothing to pick at. Having an extra person to dote on you was also considered a form of happiness.

When Ji Nuan was pregnant, as she had been pregnant with two, her symptoms had been especially serious. She endured a lot of discomfort through the nine plus months. After giving birth to the children, aside from feeding them personally, Mo Jingshen really did not allow her to interfere with any other matters. He insisted for her to rest obediently.

As a result, in a typical day at the Yu Garden—

Mo Jingshen would either be in the study due to work, or he would be taking care of the children with Auntie Chen. In fact, Mo Jingshen had spent more time than Ji Nuan feeding the children. Although breast milk was important, the two little ones really had a good appetite. Thus, there was a need for them to take milk powder as well. Furthermore, the two little ones especially loved being held in their father’s arms as they were being fed. Whenever they drank their milk, they would stare at their father with wide eyes and giggle away. However, when they were in Ji Nuan’s arms, they would doze off as they drank their milk. They completely did not give her any face!

As of today, the great Shine Group’s CEO Mo Jingshen, had already grown fully accustomed to preparing the children’s milk. Even Ji Nuan still struggled with using the right temperature of water, and often mixed up the order of pouring powder and water into the bottle. Mo Jingshen, on the other hand, clearly appeared to be a professional.

Each day, Ji Nuan was held to sleep in Mo Jingshen’s arms. She would then snuggle in the Yu Garden’s couch and hold onto bowls of various nutritious fruits and snacks.

When other people became mothers, they complained that they were both busy and tired. However, ever since she gave birth, she had become idle to the point where she was going insane.

The company had given her a year of maternity leave and right now, MN Group was under someone else’s management.

At home, they did not need her help either.

At times, she would scroll through her phone.

At times, she would watch the television.

And at times… she would watch Mo Jingshen.

Most of Mo Jingshen’s thoughts were placed on her and the children. Shen Mu would deliver most of the company’s works to the Yu Garden for him to read through. After he was done feeding the children, he turned to answer the company’s phone calls. He allowed Ji Nuan’s gaze to move from his face, to his collarbones, and to his chest. She did not let go of even his fingers. Over and over again, she swallowed him up with her eyes for at least eight hundred times.

Occasionally, he would raise his head from the company’s files and reports. Under Ji Nuan’s pitiful look, he finally surrendered and allowed her to go hold the babies for a while.

In fact, the reason Mo Jingshen rarely allowed her to hold the babies was because Auntie Chen once said that women were prone to postpartum illness after giving birth. Holding the children too much often left them with back and waist problems. Although Ji Nuan’s confinement period had already ended, after all, she had given birth to not one but two babies. In order to ensure she wouldn’t be left with any uncomfortable symptoms, she was not allowed to do anything that would tire her out. She even had a time limit for feeding the children, and was not allowed to hold them for too long.

Typically, under Ji Nuan’s pitiful attack, Mo Jingshen would allow her to go hold them for a while.

Ji Nuan had obtained the opportunity to hold the babies, while Mo House Husband—

Once again, had the opportunity to prepare the children’s milk powder.

An An had fallen asleep. Ji Nuan picked up Ning Ning, whose eyes were wide open. She held the baby and strolled back and forth around the kitchen entrance. She then turned her head back to watch the man who was testing the water’s temperature.

With his every movement, he no longer seemed like the cold, noble and distant CEO from Shine Group. If his appearance right now was displayed on the company’s website, it would definitely cause waves in the business world.

Who would have thought that the all-powerful CEO Mo would be the model family-oriented man at home.

Auntie Chen had left to go buy groceries. Right now, only the two of them were left at home.

Typically, whenever the babies were asleep, Auntie Chen and the Yu Garden’s helpers would casually give them space to be alone with each other. After all, so long as Mr. Mo was at home, there would be no trouble even if they weren’t around.

“What do you feel like eating tonight?” After preparing the milk, the man did not turn back. However, his voice was patient and warm as he spoke to her.

Ji Nuan held Ning Ning to approach him. She held the baby with one hand and picked up the bottle in her other. She shook it gently: “I like everything that you cook.”
