CHAPTER 1515: CHAPTER 1437: KISS

"I’ll arrange for someone to take you back." Fu Rong said, noticing Ye Ranran’s frightened expression.

Ye Ranran shook her head, "No need, I’ll just rest for a while, and I’ll be fine."

Originally, they had planned to return tomorrow afternoon, return to the city in the morning, discuss the follow-up arrangements—a plan she and Fu Rong had settled on long ago.

During the meeting, it would be her responsibility to make the announcements. If she left, Fu Rong would need to handle it personally.

Moreover, at such a sensitive moment, her absence might provoke many speculations.

Ye Ranran lay inside the tent, her gaze empty and helpless.

Just then, her phone buzzed, indicating she had received a new message.

Ye Ranran picked it up to see Jun Mochan had sent her a message, asking if she had time for a call; the baby wanted to talk to her.

Although she lacked energy, the thought of the adorable child made it impossible for her to refuse, so she agreed.

As soon as the call connected, the child’s cute smile appeared on the screen. "Mommy."

"Baby." By now, Ye Ranran could easily say these two words.

Because the lights were dim, neither of them noticed the pallor of Ye Ranran’s complexion.

"Mommy, are you very tired?"

"Not tired. Have you been behaving and listening lately?"

"Yes, I have."

The two chatted about other things, and toward the end, the little one made a request to Ye Ranran: "Mommy, can you give me a kiss?"

The child had already turned his cheek towards her, waiting.

Having never done such a thing before, Ye Ranran felt a bit awkward. However, she couldn’t bear to disappoint him, so she leaned toward the screen and gently gave him a kiss.

"Mommy, now Daddy too!" The little one turned around and leaned against Jun Mochan’s shoulder.

Jun Mochan looked at her, his eyes filled with amusement.

Ye Ranran felt he was doing it on purpose. Such a young child already knew how to mess with her—she wondered who he had learned it from.

"It’s late; you should take him to rest." Ye Ranran tried to change the subject.

"Mommy has to kiss Daddy too, or Daddy won’t be able to sleep tonight," the little one said with a serious expression.

Ye Ranran’s face almost couldn’t hold up.

Perhaps sensing her embarrassment, Jun Mochan stepped in to shield her. "Mommy is shy; let’s not tease her anymore, Baby."

"Oh, I see. She’s going to do it secretly, isn’t she?"

Ye Ranran: "..." How does Jun Mochan teach this child on a daily basis?

"Alright, now that you’ve seen Mommy, it’s time for you to go to sleep." Jun Mochan carried the child to the nursery.

Lying on the bed, the child snuggled under the covers. "Daddy, goodnight. Mommy, goodnight."

"Goodnight." After waiting for him to close his eyes, Jun Mochan turned off the lights and locked the door.

The nursery was next to Jun Mochan’s room. When he returned to his room, Ye Ranran curiously asked, "Aren’t you going to sleep with him?"

Such a small child sleeping alone—won’t he be scared at night?

"He sleeps by himself." After thinking for a moment, he added, "Sometimes I’m not home, and if he gets used to sleeping with me, he won’t be able to sleep when I’m not around."

Besides, he didn’t have much experience taking care of children. When the child was so small, he worried about accidentally rolling over and hurting him, so he had him sleep alone early on.

"Doesn’t he cry?" Ye Ranran asked in surprise.

"He did at first, but later, he stopped crying." When he had first brought the child from Mrs. Huo’s care, the child had indeed made a fuss, but over time, it had improved.

"Taking care of a child on your own must be really tough, right? How did I used to take care of him?" Ye Ranran tapped her forehead as if trying to recall something, but apart from some hazy images, she couldn’t remember anything clearly.
