Chapter 437: Chapter 437

Ling Wei felt frustrated inwardly but did not show it on her face. This matter lingered in her mind, and she was determined to investigate thoroughly before deciding whether to continue seeing him.

Originally, she and Lei Ming were online friends. The two had been chatting for a while, and recently their conversations had become more frequent. She knew Lei Ming had broken up with his girlfriend recently and was feeling quite down.

She had offered him plenty of comfort, and gradually, ambiguous feelings developed between them.

A few days ago, Lei Ming suggested meeting in person. Ling Wei had a favorable impression of him, so, albeit nervously, she agreed to meet.

After the meeting, both felt good about each other. Lei Ming thought Ling Wei was pretty and sensible, while Ling Wei found Lei Ming to be reliable and stable. Naturally, they started dating.

But today, after meeting Li Si, Ling Wei couldn’t help but reassess Lei Ming’s situation carefully!

It turned out that the relationship between Leng Ning and Lei Ming was no secret. Ling Wei soon discovered that Lei Ming was actually Li Si’s sister-in-law’s ex-boyfriend.

No wonder Lei Ming’s expression was so peculiar when they met. To avoid offending Li Si, Ling Wei decided not to continue the relationship.

So, without knowing the reason, Lei Ming’s second brief relationship came to an end.

Moreover, he remained clueless about what he had done wrong or what was unacceptable.

Of course, that was all in hindsight. Li Si had no idea that Ling Wei feared her to this extent.

After returning home, Ling Wei mentioned it to Leng Mochen after his shift, but he merely snorted without commenting further.

However, his gaze fixated on the spot where Li Si was breastfeeding, as Buding vigorously sucked the milk from his mother.

The little hands were possessively holding on tightly, as if afraid his father might snatch the milk.

Finding this amusing, Li Si lifted her head to share a joke about their son, only to notice the intense, dark expression in her husband’s eyes.

"What are you staring at?" She felt her body heating up as if his gaze was setting her on fire.

Leng Mochen replied with a suggestive smile, "Clearly, I’m looking at mine! Look, you grew two wonderful buns. It’s obvious—one’s for Buding and one’s for me! Let me have a taste!" For more chapters visit novelFirｅ.net

Embarrassed, Li Si glared at him. "How can you say this in front of the child?!"

Leng Mochen unabashedly leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "He’s so little; what could he possibly understand? I know we have to wait three more months for that thing. But is it really so hard for you to fulfill my tiny request? Do you not feel sorry for your husband? Hmm?"

That nasal hum was excessively seductive, making goosebumps rise all over Li Si.

Considering how he had endured abstinence for so long, and seeing how harmless it seemed to let him indulge just a bit like their son, she finally nodded slowly in agreement.

Buding blinked his large, curious eyes, his long lashes resembling tiny brushes under the light. Having had his fill, he was reluctant to leave his mother’s arms.

Li Si cast a mischievous look at Leng Mochen and teased, "You claim our son doesn’t understand, but look at him. Does that seem like he’s clueless?"

Usually, after he’s full, he would spit out the nipple if it was put in his mouth.

But today, even though he wasn’t drinking, he kept holding on, refusing to let go.

It was as if he sensed someone might take his milk away.

Leng Mochen tried all kinds of soft and hard tactics, but the boy wouldn’t cooperate. Eventually, they had to call in Sister Ding to carry him to her room.

Once the room was left with just the two of them, Li Si hurriedly tried to button up the blouse she had unfastened for breastfeeding, only for Leng Mochen to stop her directly, staring at her with bright, penetrating eyes: "You’re having second thoughts, aren’t you?"

Li Si didn’t know why, but ever since giving birth, she had been feeling an intensifying tension whenever she was around him. His gaze at her often grew heated, as if he wanted to devour her.

And she, too, found her heartbeat quickening whenever she caught his scent.

"No! I’m just a little embarrassed!" She knew he wouldn’t force her into anything that would harm her.

With amusement, he rubbed his nose against hers and took in the milky fragrance of her skin. "Why? Your son can eat, but I can’t?"

"You’re acting so childishly!" His teasing made Li Si flustered and unable to form a coherent rebuttal, her breathing growing ragged.

Eventually, under half-hearted resistance, Leng Mochen got his taste. He smacked his lips deliberately and exclaimed, "Not sweet?!"

How did the little one drink with such relish?

Li Si felt as if she might faint, but with her body pinned down, she couldn’t move and could only glare at him.

"If you keep looking at me like that, I’ll eat you whole!"

Who’s going to take this madman away!

Still, in the following days, Li Si found herself much relieved. Her milk supply was abundant; feeding Buding alone was enough, and the rest had to be pumped with an electric breast pump.

Waking up in the middle of the night to both feed Buding and pump was truly exhausting.

Yet ever since Leng Mochen had gotten a taste, Li Si bid farewell to her electric breast pump entirely.

Every time she lay sideways after feeding the baby and fell asleep, Leng Mochen would place Buding back in his crib, then immediately transform into her manual breast pump.

Perhaps breast milk truly is the best nutrition. Within a month, not only did Buding grow plump and healthy, but Leng Mochen, who had never gained weight after recovering from a car crash, surprisingly put on three pounds. His skin turned fair and supple, making him look much younger.

Mrs. Leng was overjoyed. Her son had never gained weight since the accident!

She repeatedly praised Li Si as an exceptional wife, even asking what nutritious supplements she had been feeding Leng Mochen, suggesting she’d buy some for his father and grandfather too.

Li Si turned bright red, feeling utterly cornered.

Could she possibly tell others she was now a super milk cow, nourishing both a big and little child?

In the end, she named a brand of nutritional powder to dismiss the inquiries.

June 1st was the formal wedding day, so whenever she wasn’t breastfeeding at home, she was accompanying Mrs. Leng on shopping trips.

Although Mrs. Leng had already bought a fair amount, since Leng Mochen wanted their new home to be at the pre-furnished Shengshi Court residence, the shopping list was never-ending!

Coincidentally, Zhang Shan, whom she had met at the postpartum care center, happened to live in the same complex, just a few houses away from Li Si’s villa. Zhang Shan was elated, saying that this was perfect for future visits!

Li Si found it wonderful as well. She didn’t have many friends, and Zhang Shan was the first among them to have a child, so she willingly befriended her warm and generous new neighbor.

Especially since Zhang Shan’s little Mo Mo was truly adorable—a little beauty, born just one day apart from Buding. You could already tell she’d grow up to be a stunning girl.

Her large, round eyes seemed to sparkle mischievously, and despite being so young, she already showed distinct personality and preferences.

That day, Li Si and Zhang Shan arranged to take the two kids swimming. Sister Ding carried Buding while Jiang Tong followed behind Li Si. By the time they arrived, Zhang Shan and Mo Mo had already gotten there ahead of them.

"Shanshan, I’m so sorry for being late! Hope you haven’t been waiting long?" Li Si apologized with a smile. They had run into heavy traffic, leaving them late despite setting out early.

Zhang Shan waved it off casually. "Not at all! I just got here! Oh my, Little Handsome, why are you looking so dashing today? Quick, say hi to your Mo Mo sister!"

When the two children were put together, Mo Mo clearly took a liking to Buding, repeatedly trying to snuggle closer to him.

But Buding, perhaps inheriting Leng Mochen’s aloof personality when among strangers, projected an air of cool indifference.

Little Buding’s appearance changed almost daily. He had long since shed the reddish hue of his newborn skin and turned fair and chubby instead. Not only were his eyes growing increasingly black and bright, but tiny white dots had appeared on his pink gums—two budding teeth. When he smiled, revealing them, his face looked irresistibly amusing, often spraying saliva while babbling, "Ah-ah-ah!"

This had become an unmissable highlight in their interactions with him.

But in front of Mo Mo, he acted calm and composed, leaving Li Si caught between laughter and tears!

So young, yet already putting on airs!

"Buding! Look at Mo Mo. Soon you two will go swimming together!" Li Si noticed Mo Mo seemed on the verge of tears and quickly coaxed her son.

Buding, too sharp for his age, glanced at Mo Mo, his gaze seeming to evaluate the little girl in front of him. "Ah-ah-ah!" he responded.

Zhang Shan brought Mo Mo closer, her face lighting up with a smile. "Buding, in the future, you and Mo Mo will be good friends!"

Just then, staff members arrived to help the babies put on swim rings. Buding loved swimming, eagerly kicking his legs in the water, while Mo Mo enjoyed splashing around in a separate pool. After fifteen minutes, both children were gently lifted out by the nurses, dried off, and treated to soothing touch therapy, their little faces glowing with enjoyment.

Standing nearby, Li Si and Zhang Shan watched their kids while chatting about parenting and feeding schedules.
