Mo Chengning looked up at the small flower bud for a long time before he said softly, "Mother, it's New Year's Day."

Lin Jiuqing hummed: "Yes, it's the New Year."

The blooming of wintersweet means the New Year is approaching.

Mo Chengning turned to look at Lin Jiuqing: "It has been half a year since my father left the capital, right?"

Lin Jiuqing nodded.

It was early summer when Mo Xiao left the capital, and now it was the end of the year. In the past six months, the mother and son had been living in fear at every step, and were caught in all kinds of troubles every day. Thinking about it now, it actually felt like a dream.

This also reminded them of the situation when Mo Xiao was still alive.

They were really well protected by Mo Xiao. With him around, no storm would fall on them, and they were always at ease. After Mo Xiao suddenly left, they saw the storm outside again.

Mo Chengning was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed: "It was better when my father was here."

Although his father was strict with him and had very high expectations of him in literature and martial arts, when his father was around, at least he didn't have to spin like a top all the time. He had at least two hours of fun time every day.

After his father left, he never touched his favorite machine again.

Lin Jiuqing smiled when he heard what Mo Chengning said, and continued, "Yes, it was better when your father was around."

When Mo Chengning heard this, he suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing. His mother must be more concerned about his father than he was. By saying this, he must have made his mother sad.

He quickly changed the subject and gently placed his hand on Lin Jiuqing's already bulging belly: "How is he doing, has he been well behaved recently?"

Lin Jiuqing's attention was diverted, and he lowered his head to look at his belly: "Very well behaved, not noisy at all."

"It's just... now that the month is advanced, I'm afraid I can't hide it anymore."

The six-month pregnant belly is already very obvious, but it has been concealed until now because of the thick clothes worn in winter and the loose dresses.

She hadn't left the gate of Lan Yin Palace for a long time and hadn't seen outsiders, which was why the news had been kept secret until now.

Mo Chengning looked up at Lin Jiuqing: "It doesn't matter if you can't hide it. I will definitely protect you and the child."

He didn't want his mother to feel stressed because of this matter.

Lin Jiuqing sighed and said leisurely: "I'm not worried about this."

Mo Chengning raised his eyebrows: "What is mother worried about?"

Lin Jiuqing placed his hand on his abdomen and said slowly: "The New Year is coming soon. If what I expected is correct, the war on the border will soon be over. Your father will come back to reunite with us before the New Year. If he sees me like this then..."

Lin Jiuqing stopped talking here, but Mo Chengning added the next sentence without thinking: "He might be going crazy."

Lin Jiuqing: "..."

That’s about what I mean.

Mo Chengning has been so busy these days that he actually forgot about this matter.

My mother is in poor health, and my father has long said that he would never let her give birth to a child in this lifetime. But such a huge accident happened, and this child is particularly lucky, and has been staying safely in my mother's belly until now.

But my father didn't know that if he came back and saw my mother like this, he would go crazy. By then, anyone who had anything to do with this matter would be hard to escape his wrath.
