Chapter 721: Chapter 477 Adorable Jing Ye (Part 1 update)_1

"Mu Lin was pulled into his arms without hesitation, the force causing her to collide with his chest. She let out a soft gasp, which scared Jing Chen enough to instantly push her away, his hands tightly gripping Mu Lin’s shoulders.

"Linlin, what’s wrong with you?" He anxiously inspected her from head to toe, finally relaxing when he saw that she was fine.

As a newly expectant father, his feelings were something only he could understand. No one else could replace him in this role.

However, looking at Jing Chen in this state, it seemed as if he was still in a daze. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been so rough. Perhaps, he was overly excited.

Mu Lin watched Jing Chen’s anxiety and confusion with a hint of helplessness, and simply smiled. Her smile radiated comfort, as if she was waiting for him to regain his composure.

Her small hand slowly grabbed one of Jing Chen’s. She just sat there, not saying a word.

The next moment, he seemed to jump out of his skin.

Mu Lin thought his mood would gradually calm, but once it did, his excitement actually escalated. Perhaps this was the so-called rebound effect.

However, as long as he was happy, that was all that mattered.

"Hahahaha..." With his hands gripping Mu Lin’s shoulders firmly, he lifted her high into the air, his eyes curving into a joyful and hearty laugh.

Mu Lin had never seen Jing Chen laugh with such carefree delight. Fortunately, at least for now, he wasn’t spinning her around in circles. Otherwise, she would definitely stop him.

After setting her down, Jing Chen pulled Mu Lin into his arms, his slightly trembling voice echoing in Mu Lin’s ear, "Linlin, thank you." He truly, sincerely thanked her.

He thanked her for being willing to stay, for taking him into her heart, for being willing to bear his children...

If it could be said that Jing Chen’s heart had once been restless, then now, his heart had completely settled down.

All along, Jing Chen had been somewhat afraid. Afraid that once Mu Lin finished taking care of her affairs, she would leave and return to seclusion in the forest. As the son of the Jing family, even if he wanted to leave with her, it wouldn’t necessarily be his choice to make.

Currently, he was not in control of his own fate.

Jing Chen had thought about using a child to keep Mu Lin by his side, but felt that such a move would be too selfish. A child was not a tool, and he would never treat them that way, unless it was Mu Lin’s desire.

Unexpectedly, one day, he was blessed with such wonderful news.

At first, upon hearing the news, Jing Chen’s feelings were mixed. But soon, there was nothing but pure joy.

Firstly, because now Mu Lin would never leave him. Secondly, this was their child, borne of the woman he treasured the most.

Child.

What a wonderful thing, he also wanted to have his own child! It turns out, he could also have his own offspring.

Holding Mu Lin tightly but mindful of his strength, Jing Chen was awake again. As such, he would never harm Mu Lin out of excitement.

Hearing the husky, excited words in her ear, Mu Lin just shook her head slightly. "Actually, I should be the one thanking you."

The corner of Mu Lin’s mouth lifted slightly, "If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be the present Mu Lin; and I wouldn’t have such a warm home besides guarding the house of me and Master for the rest of my life." All these were given to her by him, right?

"Chen, I really thank you; thank you... for loving me so much." Even if Jing Chen didn’t say it, Mu Lin could feel his love from his every act, his every expression, and even his every breath.

She might sound mushy saying this, but it was what she truly felt in her heart.

Jing Chen quietly laughed, he let go of Mu Lin, kissed her lips, and then once again pulled her into his arms.

Now, he didn’t want to leave her for even a single moment. How happy it would be to hold her like this forever.

After a long while, he finally let go of Mu Lin again, letting her sit on the edge of the bed. Crouching down, he placed his large hand on Mu Lin’s flat stomach. Looking at it in confusion, he wondered, "Why is Linlin’s belly still not showing?" He remembered that the pregnant women he had met usually had large bellies. As he felt her belly and patted it gently, he asked, "And why is it still not moving?"

Hearing this, Mu Lin was taken aback. The next moment, she lowered her head to look at the curious baby Jing Chen in front of her. Her eyes were full of mischief, "Grandpa, don’t you know that only when the fetus grows, the belly will get big?" She remembered that it was just a small black dot in the picture, also, "the baby needs at least sixteen weeks to feel fetal movement." Now, it really was nothing more than an extra piece of flesh inside her body.

Cough cough cough, somehow it sounded a bit rude.

Her grandpa, probably knew nothing except for training; however, she liked it.

In Mu Lin’s eyes, this Jing Chen was the cutest.

He seemed thoughtful and nodded. In Mu Lin’s surprised gaze, Grandpa Jing Chen put his head on her thigh, his ear against her belly, listening carefully. His impatient appearance made Mu Lin’s eyes even softer.

In front of Mu Lin, Jing Chen was really like a child at this moment, somewhat cute.

She reached out and gently stroked his hair, her body exuding only warmth.

When Grandpa Jing entered the room, he saw this scene. While feeling reassured, he jokingly interrupted the young couple, "Xiaochen, didn’t I tell you to come up to call Linlin down for dinner, what are you doing?"

He was obviously asking knowingly.

Was this kid acting coquettish? Such a scene was rare indeed.

Hearing the sound behind him, Jing Chen turned his head, then stood up to look at Grandpa Jing. The smile on his face was unstoppable, "Grandpa, why did you come up?" This was the first time Grandpa had come to their room (actually it was Mu Lin’s room).

"I’ve been waiting for you downstairs for so long and you didn’t come down. I heard your hearty laughter so I got curious and came up to look." Grandpa Jing looked at Jing Chen, his eyes full of laughter, "What were you laughing at earlier, you’re so happy?" It was the first time he had heard his grandson laugh like this; if he can laugh like this, it seems Linlin has no problem with her body, right?

Hehehe. Normally he was cold. He had been mature since childhood. But ever since Mu Lin came, his grandson really started to laugh more and more.

Good.

Jing Chen looked back at Mu Lin, she stood up. Then, Jing Chen took her hand, walking towards Grandpa, "Grandpa, we’ll go down to eat first, I’ll tell you about it later." Otherwise, they would delay dinner again, his baby absolutely cannot starve now.

"Okay." After hearing that, Grandpa Jing nodded and turned around; looking at Jing Chen’s demeanor, he thought, this should be some good news.

He saw the ring on her hand yesterday. Wouldn’t it be that she finally agreed to marry their boy?

If so, it truly would be an extraordinary piece of good news. It had been several years since there had been something so heartening; his old heart felt excited.

Such good news, even if he laughed his heart out... it wouldn’t be enough.

Downstairs.

Although Gu Muqing was also in B City on weekdays, she rarely came back to the Jing family home. Mainly because she was too busy with work, so she just bought a house near the company for convenience. However, Gu Muqing would occasionally return to the old Jing family house to chat with the old man and have a meal together. After all, she wouldn’t forget that she was the eldest daughter-in-law of the Jing family.

If Jing Zhengyang came back during his holidays, they would also stay at the Jing family home.

So usually, the only person dining with the old man was Song Qi.

At this moment, as Mu Lin sat at the dining table, Grandpa Jing and Song Qi looked at each other as they watched Jing Chen bustling around.

He ladled the soup, picked the vegetables while Mu Lin’s bowl was almost piled up, hardly any rice could be seen.

They felt something was off about Mu Lin, but now it seemed, the one who was really off, was Jing Chen.

Seriously, what happened to this young man today? Normally, he did these things quite routinely, but today, isn’t he doing too much? How can she eat like this?

With a bowl in one hand and a soup spoon in the other, he gently blew on the soup before passing it to Mu Lin’s mouth. His eyes were tender, watching her without blinking.

Mu Lin was speechless, the old man was silent, and Song Qi... was stunned.

This was their first time seeing Jing Chen like this.

What on earth was going on with this child today?
