Chapter 1299: Many Children, Many Blessings, Yang Mi is Pregnant

Just then, a soft, gentle sound of footsteps, like a spring breeze, drifted over.

Mu Xueman was dressed in a simple yet elegant white dress, the hem of which swayed gently with her steps, like a thin mist flowing under the moonlight.

Her skin was as white as snow, her eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, and her temperament was cool yet gentle. She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting, and she was still very beautiful even during her pregnancy.

She walked over with light steps, holding her son Xiao Haojun's hand, a gentle and graceful smile on her face.

"Mom, I am your daughter-in-law, Mu Xueman." She gave Shen Cuiping a sweet smile, her voice soft and melodious.

Shen Cuiping, who was still holding Xiao Haoxuan in her arms, looked at Mu Xueman when she heard the sound. Her face immediately lit up with a smile that was even brighter and warmer than before, and her eyes were so bright that they seemed to be shining.

"Oh my!" Shen Cuiping exclaimed, tightening her grip on Xiao Haoxuan's arm.

"Xueman, my dear daughter-in-law, how can you be so beautiful? Your appearance and your temperament are like a fairy descended from heaven!"

As she spoke, she looked Mu Xueman up and down, growing more and more fond of her, her smile never stopping.

"Son, your taste is truly... truly impeccable! Every daughter-in-law you've had is like a fairy!"

Mu Xueman blushed slightly at the compliment, but still maintained a polite smile, her tone humble yet playful: "Mom, all your wives are beauties, I'm just barely considered to be not bad looking."

"Daughter-in-law, you're too modest!" Shen Cuiping smiled broadly.

Lin Lang gently placed Xiao Zhiruo, whom he was holding, on the ground and said with a smile, "Mom, Xueman was my classmate in college. She was the undisputed beauty queen of our university back then!"

"Oh my, what a coincidence!" Shen Cuiping smiled so much that her eyes narrowed into slits.

"Daughter-in-law Xueman, you and Alang were college classmates, and now you're husband and wife, and you even have such a lovely son. It's wonderful, wonderful!"

Mu Xueman smiled gently, lowered her head and patted Xiao Haojun's head beside her, and said softly, "Son, hurry up and kowtow to your grandma to pay your respects."

Upon hearing his mother's words, Xiao Haojun immediately walked up to Shen Cuiping, knelt down properly, and solemnly kowtowed.

The little guy called out in a childish but clear voice, "Grandma, your grandson Lin Haojun greets you!"

"Oh dear, my precious grandson, get up, get up!"

Shen Cuiping's heart melted at the clear, crisp sound of "Grandma."

She was still holding Xiao Haoxuan in her arms, and quickly reached out her other hand to help Xiao Haojun up, her face full of heartache and affection, "This child is so polite and well-behaved!"

Seeing this, Li Meng quickly stepped forward, took her son Lin Haoxuan from her mother-in-law, and said with a smile, "Mom, you rest for a while, let Haoxuan come down and play by himself for a while."

With her hands free, Shen Cuiping bent down without hesitation and picked up Xiao Haojun, who had just stood up, and let him sit in her arms. She kissed the little guy's face again and again, her affection for him was palpable.

"Oh my, my dear grandson, he's so handsome and spirited!"

While teasing the little Haojun in her arms, Shen Cuiping gently tapped his high nose with her finger, her face full of a kind smile.

"Those big, bright eyes, just like your mother's, you're such a lovely little darling!"

Little Haojun didn't seem shy at all. On the contrary, he was amused by his grandmother and giggled. He hugged Shen Cuiping's neck tightly with his little arms, rubbed his head against her chest, and called out softly, "Grandma..."

"Oh, my grandson is so good!" Shen Cuiping's heart melted. "Grandma will cook delicious food for you every day from now on, okay?"

"Okay..." Xiao Haojun nodded heavily, looking adorably naive.

Seeing the happy scene between the grandmother and granddaughter, Lin Lang and Mu Xueman smiled at each other, their eyes filled with relief and happiness.

Just then, Shen Cuiping's gaze inadvertently fell on Mu Xueman's protruding belly, and her face instantly broke into a smile of great joy.

"Oh my! Xueman, are you... pregnant with your second child?"

Her voice was full of excitement, and her eyes shone like stars, as if she had discovered some great joy.

Mu Xueman subconsciously touched her lower abdomen gently, her eyebrows curving, her smile gentle yet tinged with shyness.

"Yes, Mom."

"Lin Lang said that I am having a daughter this time, and when the little one is born, I will have both a son and a daughter."

"Oh! This is wonderful!"

Shen Cuiping's smile was endless. "This is truly a joyous occasion! Our Lin family is about to welcome another member. This is wonderful!"

"Mom will cook you something delicious tomorrow!"

"Tell Mom what you want to eat during your pregnancy, and Mom will make it for you personally!"

Hearing this, Lin Lang, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh and speak.

"Mom, with so many daughters-in-law and grandchildren relying on you to cook, won't that exhaust you? The Lin family has a professional culinary team."

“How can that be the same?” Shen Cuiping immediately retorted, her tone full of affection.

"As the mother-in-law, if my daughter-in-law wants to eat something during her pregnancy, I have to cook it for her myself. No chef's cooking can compare to my mother's comforting cooking."

Mu Xueman felt a warmth in her heart, and a well-behaved and sensible smile appeared on her face. She nodded gently, "Okay, okay, Mom. I will definitely tell you when I want to eat something."

"Oh, good daughter-in-law, that's right!"

Shen Cuiping's tone was full of doting, "Don't be shy with your mom! Just tell her what you want to eat, and she'll make it for you!"

Mu Xueman felt warm inside from her mother-in-law's enthusiasm and care, and she was completely immersed in this sudden happiness, her gentleness almost overflowing from her eyes.

Just then, a soft footstep sound came from behind.

Yang Mi, dressed in a loose maternity dress, walked slowly over, one hand supporting her bulging belly and the other gently lifting the hem of her dress.

She wore a gentle smile, radiating a glow of impending motherhood, her beauty serene and captivating.

"Mom, I am your daughter-in-law, Yang Mi."

When Shen Cuiping looked up, she saw the 21-year-old version of Yang Mi. She was stunned for a moment, then her face instantly lit up with a surprised smile, and her eyes shone as if they were about to sparkle.

"Oh my! Yang Mi's daughter-in-law!"

Shen Cuiping quickly put down Xiao Haojun in her arms, stepped forward, and carefully supported Yang Mi's arm, her voice full of heartache and excitement.

"Your belly is so big, you're almost at your due date, right?"

Yang Mi blushed slightly at her mother-in-law's enthusiasm, but she still smiled gently, her voice as sweet as honey: "Yes, Mom, the doctor said I should give birth in about half a month."

"Oh dear! You really have to be careful!"

As Shen Cuiping spoke, she nervously glanced at Yang Mi's belly, fearing something might happen to her. "You are now a key person under our Lin family's protection! We can't be careless!"

The more she looked, the happier she became, and the smile on her face couldn't be stopped.

Lin Lang stepped forward, put his arm around Yang Mi's waist, and said with concern, "Wife, are you tired? If you are, I'll help you back to your room to rest."

Yang Mi replied with a smile, "I'm not tired. I'll tell you when I get tired."

"Okay." Lin Lang smiled gently.

Shen Cuiping couldn't hide her joy and said, "Our Lin family is going to have double happiness! Xueman is pregnant with her second child, and you're about to give birth. This is wonderful!"

Yang Mi said sweetly, "Mom, with your return, our Lin family is celebrating three happy events!"

Shen Cuiping held Yang Mi's hand and said happily, "Yes, yes, yes, three happy events! Daughter-in-law, now that you're pregnant, if you want to eat anything or need anything, be sure to tell your mother, don't be shy!"

Yang Mi felt a warmth in her heart, and a well-behaved and sensible smile appeared on her face as she nodded gently.

"Thank you, Mom, you're so kind. I'm fine now, I just sometimes crave something sour, but otherwise I'm pretty normal."

"Want something sour?" Shen Cuiping's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "That's easy! Mom will make you plum juice, sweet and sour pork ribs, and sauerkraut fish tomorrow!"

Yang Mi was amused by her mother-in-law's enthusiasm and quickly said, "Mom, don't tire yourself out too much. There are chefs at the Lin residence. You can just tell them what to do."

"How can that be the same? As a mother-in-law, I only feel at ease when my daughter-in-law is pregnant and I personally cook her some delicious food!"

Yang Mi felt a surge of emotion, gently took Shen Cuiping's arm, and said softly, "Alright then, Mom, I'd also like to try your cooking."

"That's right!" Shen Cuiping smiled and gently patted Yang Mi's hand.

"Don't be shy with your mom! The most important thing for you right now is to take good care of yourself and give birth to a healthy baby boy for the Lin family!"

Yang Mi blushed even more at what was said, and softly hummed in agreement, her heart filled with happiness.

Just then, Pan Xiaoting walked forward with a smile on her face, holding a tiny, adorable baby in her arms.

Pan Xiaoting was wearing a pure cotton nightgown, the material of which was soft and comfortable, making her look exceptionally gentle.

After stopping in front of Shen Cuiping, Pan Xiaoting sweetly called out, "Mom, I am your daughter-in-law, Pan Xiaoting."

"Don't you like chubby boys?"

"Look at our little Haocan, he's not even a month old yet, let Grandma have some fun with him."

Upon hearing the voice, Shen Cuiping looked at Pan Xiaoting, and immediately a warm smile appeared on her face. She quickly got up to greet her: "Oh, Xiaoting, my daughter-in-law! You've really given birth to a lovely, chubby little boy."

Pan Xiaoting smiled and shook the little one in her arms, her voice soft and sweet: "Can'er, look, this is your grandma. Your other brothers and sisters have all missed out on grandma's love. You were just born when grandma came back, and you've been loved by grandma since you were born."

Little Haocan's skin was as white as a peeled egg, his little mouth was pouting, and he was babbling softly. His little hands were still waving in his swaddling clothes, so cute that it melted everyone's heart.

Shen Cuiping's gaze was immediately drawn to the baby in Pan Xiaoting's arms.

"Oh dear, quick, let Mom hold her grandson." Shen Cuiping's heart melted instantly, and her voice softened several octaves.

Pan Xiaoting carefully handed her son to her mother-in-law, her movements as gentle as if she were handing over a rare treasure.

Shen Cuiping quickly took the baby in her arms, holding it with extra care, as if even the slightest bit of force would hurt the little one.

She looked down at her grandson in her arms, her eyes crinkling with laughter. She gently rubbed her forehead against the little guy's, making him giggle, his voice as clear and melodious as a wind chime.

"Oh my, it's been so many years since I've held such a small baby."

Shen Cuiping's voice was full of joy and affection, "This little grandson is so adorable, so cute! He's so handsome, just like his father when he was a child!"

Standing to the side, Zhang Qiaoyun couldn't help but laugh and tease, "Cuiping, now you have so many grandsons and granddaughters that you can't keep up with them all, can you?"

Shen Cuiping held her grandson with great affection and said with a smile, "I really don't know what great virtue our Lin family ancestors accumulated to have such a prosperous family in A Lang's next generation."

"Every grandson and granddaughter is Grandma's precious darling. Grandma is not afraid of being tired, and will make you little ones happy every day from now on!"
