Chapter 57: Chapter 57
Mo Shan walked out of the bathroom after having a cold shower. He dried his wet hair with the help of a towel while his eyes moved to Yun Xi. He found her already asleep, leaning on the wall.
After done with her earlier pleasure, Mo Shan went to have a shower. Yun Xi wanted to wait for him to sleep together. But as she was worn out, she fell asleep while leaning against the wall in the sitting position. And that was the scene that greeted Mo Shan.
Mo Shan sighed, looking at her uncomfortable sleeping posture. He hurried his steps to her and gently laid her on the mattress. Yun Xi was not deeply asleep, so even his gentle movement was enough to wake her up. Yun Xi opened her sleepy eyes with great difficulty and looked at him. "Are you okay now?"
Earlier when he had stood up, she had seen a dent in between his thighs. She instantly understood what it was but was too shy to ask him. Seeing her gaze, Mo Shan had replied, "I am a normal man."
Now that he was back after the shower, she asked if he was fine now.
Mo Shan rubbed her forehead gently as he answered, "Mmm, cold shower helps. Now go to sleep. You can hardly keep your eyes open."
But to his surprise, she was already asleep by the time he finished. Mo Shan chuckled, looking at her pouting lips. "Goodnight," he whispered, pecking her forehead. He then pulled her in his arms and fell asleep along with her.
Even while sleeping, a small smile could be found on his lips. The reason was very obvious, he and his wife came one step closer to each other after this incident.
...
The next morning, everyone was seated in the dining hall for breakfast. The atmosphere was a bit solemn. They were still not out from Old Madam Mo's incident. But one thing was very clear, and that was, everyone was thankful towards Yun Xi.
They thanked her one by one much to Yun Xi's embarrassment. "Grandpa, mom, dad, what I did is nothing. We are family members. If you guys keep on doing this, I will feel like I am an outsider."
Everyone stopped when they heard her words. They then proceeded to have breakfast.
Mo Shan left soon after. "Xiao Xi, I am planning to visit an orphanage today. Would you like to accompany me?" Mother Mo asked. Actually, Mother Mo would visit the orphanage on its anniversary every year. But it was not the time of its anniversary yet. Still, she wanted to visit the children after yesterday's incident and calm her heart down.
"I would love to, Mom. When are we leaving? And are we bringing some gifts to children?" Yun Xi excitedly asked. As she was also grown in an orphanage, she liked visiting them.
"We are leaving in a while. As for gifts, I have informed some maids to have them prepared. They must be loading the gifts in the car now." Mother Mo informed.
Yun Xi then went to get dressed. As she was carrying a baby, she has stopped wearing tight clothes, heels, and makeup. So, she generally chose a loose-fitting dress and applied sunscreen prescribed by her doctor. As for shoes, she opted for comfortable converse shoes.
Mother Mo also got ready, and the ladies headed out after that.
In the orphanage, the warden and children were already waiting for their arrival. Children especially loved Mother Mo as she would always bring them gifts every year.
However this time, Mother Mo was accompanied by Yun Xi. So, the children did not dare to approach them hastily. Because they knew not everyone loved them.
But much to their surprise, Yun Xi greeted them first with a warm smile. She personally handed the gifts to everyone, and Mother Mo stood next to the warden, watching them with a proud look.
"Who is she, Ma'am?" The warden asked.
"My daughter-in-law," Mother Mo replied with a smile.
"Oh, your son already got married? Congratulations!" the warden wished her with a polite smile.
Mother Mo nodded her head and continued looking at Yun Xi interacting with the children.
Soon, the children became close with Yun Xi. At noon, they ate together. Yun Xi also sang some songs and read them stories.
"Your daughter-in-law is just like you, Ma'am. No haughtiness and easy to approach." The warden praised Yun Xi.
"I know. And I couldn't get a better daughter-in-law than her. She is a blessing to our family." Mother Mo responded.
They spent the whole day in the orphanage.
In the evening, Mo Shan also headed there, after knowing that his mother and wife were there. They then headed back together. Children were reluctant to leave Yun Xi. Even Yun Xi was feeling the same. But later she promised the children that she would visit them often.
"Did you guys have fun?" Mo Shan asked inside the car.
"Very much," Yun Xi replied. She then proceeded to inform everything that happened and how she enjoyed everything. Mother Mo would also join in their conversation sometimes.
Assistant Zhang, who was driving the car, felt that the Mo Family turned warmer after Yun Xi's arrival. If it was before, the family members would not talk to each other much as everyone was busy with their own works.
Soon, they reached Mo Mansion.
Inside, Old Master Mo also asked her if she was tired, and what did she do the entire day. Yun Xi then again went to telling everything.
Mo Sheng also started adding some jokes in the conversation from the side. The whole family was there chatting heartily with each other.
Mo Shan complained that he also wanted to accompany them, but they didn't bring him. Yun Xi apologized and said, "Next time, I will take you too. Today, you had classes, so I did not want to disturb you."
"It's okay. But you have to bring me next time, Mommy. You promised me." Xiao Hui childishly said.
Everyone laughed, looking at his pouting face.
