When Qi Haoran entered the house and saw Mu Yangling instructing Spring and the rest to rummage through the cabinets, he asked, “What’s going on?”

Upon looking up and seeing the dark and skinny Qi Haoran, Mu Yangling’s heart instantly ached. She stood up and grabbed his hand. “Why are you so thin? Didn’t you eat properly?

Qi Haoran was very satisfied with Mu Yangling’s concern, but he couldn’t show it. Instead, he pointed inside and asked, “What are you looking for?”

“I’m looking for the clothes Little Bear wore when he was younger.” Mu Yangling pulled him into the house. As she got someone to prepare hot water, she said, “Rumor has it that placing the clothes of a boy with good fortune under the pillow can help one give birth to a boy. So, I found some of Little Bear’s clothings to send over to Cousin-in-law.”

Qi Haoran tilted his head and asked, “Do you want me to ask Big Brother for some of Little Treasure’s clothes?”

Who in this world had as much good fortune as Little Treasure? But his son was not bad either.

Mu Yangling glared at him and said, “How can you tell Big Brother about something like this? I’ll talk to Sister-in-law. Hurry up and take a shower. Little Bear is sleeping. If he wakes up and sees you, he’ll definitely want to play with you again.”

Qi Haoran shook his head smugly. “Can’t help it. Our son simply adores me too much.”

“If you don’t fool around with him, let’s see if he’ll still like you. You’re absent for ten days to half a month at a time.”

“I’m doing this for my future and for the entire Great Qi. You have long hair but you’re so shortsighted.”

“Yes, yes, those with long hair indeed are more short-sighted.” Mu Yangling glanced at him with a faint smile and said, “Why don’t we compete to see whose hair is longer?”

Stunned, Qi Haoran glanced at Mu Yangling’s hair and turned to run. He waved his hand and said, “Hurry up and get the kitchen to prepare food for me while I wash up. I’m about to starve to death.”

When Qi Haoran came out, the house had already been tidied up. Spring and the others had set up a table in the outer room with four dishes and a soup on it.

Qi Haoran took a bite of every dish and said unhappily, “Why didn’t you prepare the food personally?”

“How can I make it in time when you’re back so suddenly? Eat first. I’ll cook for you personally tonight.”

Only then was Qi Haoran satisfied. When Little Bear rubbed his eyes and came out, he saw its father burying his head in his food. Delighted, he sprinted towards him. Qi Haoran hurriedly threw down his chopsticks and caught him with one hand. “Rascal, why are you running so fast? You almost knocked over the dining table.”

Little Bear wrapped his arms around Qi Haoran’s neck and gave him a big kiss on the cheek.

Qi Haoran’s originally dark face instantly turned black and red. Even if his skin was tanned, it could not hide that redness. Mu Yangling laughed out loud when she saw this.

Qi Haoran roared, “What did you teach the child? How can he kiss someone so casually?”

Mu Yangling was indignant. “Didn’t you kiss him before?”

“How can that be the same? At that time, he was young and insensible. Moreover, I am his father. It was only right for me to kiss him…”

He had never heard of a son kissing his father.

When Little Bear heard Qi Haoran shout at him and his mother, his eyes filled with tears. He cried out in grievance.

“Why are you shouting at him?” Mu Yangling pushed him and immediately went forward to hug Little Bear. “He kissed you because he adores you. If he doesn’t want to kiss you one day, you might just cry.”

Qi Haoran frowned in disdain.

Little Bear cried even louder. No matter how Mu Yangling pacified him, it was useless.

In the end, Qi Haoran’s heart ached for him. Helplessly, he carried him over and pressed his tanned face closer to him. “Go ahead and kiss.”

As he spoke, he closed his eyes in disdain.

Little Bear pushed his face away with a slap and turned to throw himself into his mother’s arms. After wiping his tears, he kissed his mother before looking at Qi Haoran provocatively.

Qi Haoran’s already-tanned face darkened even more. He reached out and pulled his son out of Mu Yangling’s arms, then kissed him on the cheek and said, “In the future, you’re only allowed to kiss your father. At your age, you can’t kiss your mother anymore, understand?”

Little Bear blinked. “Huh?”

Qi Haoran nodded seriously. “You won’t be able to kiss your mother when you grow up. Do you think you’ve grown up?”

Little Bear hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nestled in Qi Haoran’s arms obediently and stopped fooling around. Anyway, even though he liked his mother very much, he preferred to be grown up.

Satisfied, Qi Haoran hugged his son and said generously, “Kiss Daddy if you want to in the future.”

Mu Yangling rolled her eyes and said, “Hurry up and eat. Otherwise, the food will turn cold.”

Seeing Little Bear drooling at the meat on the table, Qi Haoran immediately got someone to prepare another set of bowls and chopsticks. It had been a long time since he had eaten with his son. The last two times he came back, his son had fallen asleep. Also, he had to go out before dawn, so he could only take a look at his son while he was sleeping.

After not seeing each other for three months, Little Bear’s appetite had increased a lot. The father and son finished up all the dishes on the table like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

Mu Yangling stared at Little Bear’s stomach worriedly. “This child has already eaten two bowls for lunch. Now, he’s eating so much again. Can he still eat dinner tonight?”

Qi Haoran put down the bowl and was not worried at all. “Little Bear has a big appetite like us. I’ll bring him to the garden for a stroll later to aid his digestion. I’m sure he can still eat two big bowls at night.”

“…” He spoke as if it was an honor to be able to eat so much.

In the end, Mu Yangling’s heart ached for Qi Haoran. Instead of letting him bring Little Bear to the garden, she let him go to bed. She would bring Little Bear to walk around by herself.

Qi Haoran said, “I think you’re the one who can’t bear to part with your son.” However, he turned around and fell asleep on the couch in the blink of an eye.

Little Bear had just woken up from his afternoon nap. Seeing that his father was sleeping, he refused to go out no matter what. He squatted on the couch and tapped Qi Haoran’s face from time to time. Seeing that he was snoring, he even pinched his nose with his small hand. Seeing his father open his mouth before continuing to snore, he giggled.

Mu Yangling hurriedly grabbed his hand and pulled him down. She said in a low voice, “Don’t disturb Daddy. Let’s go out and play first, okay?”

Little Bear shook his head and refused to let go of the bed. Mu Yangling had no choice but to let him sit at the side. She straightened Qi Haoran’s body in order to let him sleep better.

While the family of three stayed quietly in the house, Mu Yangling checked the list of things to bring along. Little Bear sat at the foot of the couch and played with his toys while Qi Haoran slept soundly on the couch.

When Qi Haoran woke up, it was already dark outside. He felt a heavy weight on his chest, as if a huge rock was pressing down on him. Only then did he realize that his son had fallen asleep on his chest. Little Bear turned his head and smacked his lips before continuing to sleep with his mouth open.

Qi Haoran couldn’t help but laugh when he saw this. His increasingly tough face softened a lot. With Little Bear in his arms, he turned over, then lay Little Bear down on the couch before getting up.

There was only one caged palace lamp lit in the room. As the yellow and orange light reflected on people, it made them look gentler. Qi Haoran suddenly felt at peace and at home.

With a softened expression, Qi Haoran pushed the door open and went out. Autumn immediately stood up when he saw him. “Your Highness, you’re awake?”

“Where’s the Princess Consort?”

“Her Highness is in the kitchen. I’ll inform her now.” Autumn ran away after saying that.

Qi Haoran pursed his lips. Was he that scary?
