Chapter 355: Chapter 353: Terms of Endearment_1

"Sister Xia... you--you really have a baby?" Na Wa was astonished, her eyes widening.

"Hmm, yes..." Su Wanxia casually nodded.

"No way..." Na Wa exclaimed in surprise. She always thought that when she talked about having a bun in the oven with Brother Achen, she was just fooling her, but she never expected it to be true!!

But... aren’t they an unmarried couple? How come they have a baby already?

"But you two haven’t..." Mid-sentence, she became too embarrassed to continue.

In her mind, two people who aren’t married shouldn’t have a baby.

Su Wanxia knew what she was referring to, spread her hands, and wryly said, "We put the cart before the horse..."

Na Wa was instantly dumbfounded. She looked at Su Wanxia, at a loss for quite a while, then furrowed her brow and asked in confusion, "What does putting the cart before the horse mean, Sister Xia? I don’t understand..."

Su Wanxia sighed helplessly, then stood up from in front of the vanity, walked over to her, patted her shoulder, and lamented, "It’s alright if you don’t understand. You don’t need to know about these things; what you need to remember is that you can only have buns in the oven after you and Na Ersi are married..."

According to the customs here, that’s how it should be, right... Su Wanxia raised an eyebrow.

Na Wa might not have understood what she meant by putting the cart before the horse, but the following comment about having buns in the oven with Na Ersi made her blush uncontrollably.

"Sister Xia... why do you always speak without a filter..." She was embarrassed. Such matters, how can they be openly talked about?

Su Wanxia couldn’t help but chuckle. It’s not that she was indiscreet; it’s just that their culture was too traditional and conservative—at this point, it’s almost like they’re from ancient times.

"Alright, alright, just remember what I’ve told you..."

"Yes, I get it..." Na Wa wished she could crawl into a hole.

"Let’s go, they’re waiting for us..." Su Wanxia said, then took the lead toward the door.

Today, Mu Yingchen and the others had agreed to go painting. The spot was set at the familiar place, the pavilion by the lake.

Originally, she wanted to go to the rapeseed flower field, but it was vetoed by the two gentlemen, who said that the mountain and water landscape would turn out more meaningful than the rapeseed flowers, yada yada. Alright then, she didn’t plan to lift a brush anyway. She could draw architectural blueprints, but when it comes to drawing people and scenery—though she could manage—it would still be best not to embarrass herself and scare them, especially compared to Mu Yingchen and Na Ersi.

The four of them, carrying their painting equipment, arrived at the pavilion by the lake. Su Wanxia had Mu Yingchen start by taking a joint portrait of Na Ersi and Na Wa.

She and Mu Yingchen’s phones were long gone. If they had phones, they could take some photos of Na Ersi and Na Wa for keepsake since the two of them were going to get married. Although they couldn’t take wedding photos, drawing portraits was still doable—an option she personally thought was even more grand than wedding photos, right?

"Miss Na, why don’t you sit on the railing of the pavilion, then lean on Na Ersi’s shoulder, and circle his neck..."

Mu Yingchen was busy setting up the painting supplies on one side, while Su Wanxia began directing the two for the pose. However, the poses she suggested made Na Wa genuinely feel embarrassed.

"Oh come on, what are you freezing up for? You’re about to get married, no need to be shy now. Hurry up, hurry up..." Su Wanxia’s voice urged the two on.

Na Wa felt even more embarrassed by her words. Although she and Na Ersi were about to be married, she had never engaged in such intimate gestures.

"Come, be careful." Na Ersi sat on the bench beside the pavilion railing, carefully pulling Na Wa up.

When Na Wa got into position, her heart suddenly started beating uncontrollably. She had never been so close to a man in such an intimate pose before, but then she remembered what Su Wanxia had just said and tried hard to control her emotions.

Right, since she and Na Ersi were going to get married anyway, a hug or an embrace should be fine, shouldn’t it? Su Wanxia and Brother Achen hadn’t even gotten married before they had their baby.

With that thought, she tried her best to control her heart that was about to leap out of her chest, striving to appear as natural as possible.

What she didn’t know was that as she was nervously blushing and her heart was racing, Na Ersi could clearly feel her fast-beating heart. He couldn’t help but curve his lips upward. This little girl finally understood what it meant to be nervous.

"Miss Na, smile, show your pearly white teeth..." Su Wanxia started directing from the side again.

The amusement in Mu Yingchen’s eyes deepened. Having such an assistant wasn’t bad. After they returned, he would keep her by his side to be his personal assistant. This way, he could always see her, and if he was in a good mood, work would naturally go smoothly. Not bad at all, the best of both worlds!

Meanwhile, Su Wanxia was still unaware that Mu Yingchen had pinned a daunting yet honorable task onto her. From now on, she’d have something to cry about...

"Miss Na, lean in a bit more, get closer to Na Ersi..."

Finally, Na Wa couldn’t resist rolling her eyes. "Su Wanxia, could you not call me Miss Na? It’s so awkward..."

Su Wanxia helplessly spread her hands towards her, "Then what do you want me to call you, Miss Na, Young Miss, or Little Sister Na?"

Na Wa instantly felt a wave of frustration. "You can just call me by my name..."

Su Wanxia then got excited, "How could I do that? Calling you Na Wa would be too impersonal, it would show we’re not close. I could call you Wawa, but then I always feel like I’m calling myself. How about, Little Sister Na?" As soon as the words ’Little Sister Na’ left her lips, even Su Wanxia felt a shiver of cringe.

She quickly shook her head, "Nevermind, nevermind, I’ll just keep calling you Miss Na..."

By now, both Na Ersi and Na Wa were looking at her speechlessly. How could calling Wawa be the same as her calling herself?

Everyone else called her Wanxia, or Su Wanxia, at most Mu Yingchen called her Wanwan, but her ’Wan’ and Na Wa’s ’Wa’ were different, okay...

"Su Wanxia, your name is Wanxia..." Na Wa said, frustrated, being the real Na Wa herself.

"What do you know, ’Wawa’ is a nickname Achen gave me out of love. Calling you Wawa just feels too awkward, so let’s stick with Miss Na..." Su Wanxia explained, gesturing decisively to them.

Na Wa felt even more frustrated then. She always being called Miss Na was the awkward part, okay...

"Alright, alright, it’s happily decided then, Miss Na is your special nickname from me..."

The moment Su Wanxia said this, both Na Wa and Na Ersi couldn’t help but twitch the corners of their mouths.

Mu Yingchen looked at her, clearly amused. It seemed she cared a lot about the nickname he used for her, and the fact that she was so concerned made him really happy...

"Get ready, face expression in place, I’m starting to draw..." Mu Yingchen turned and spoke lightly to the two who were feeling frustrated by the railing.
